Oh my god, Uzi!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Bo was still checking BLG's summer roster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his WeChat rang with a voice call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[A Bu]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Come to think of it, A Bu had kept in touch with Ye Bo ever since he was in the youth training camp; after all, everyone knew Ye Bo was a free agent, and all teams had a chance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, in Ye Bo's decision-making process, he had never actually considered EDG.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason was simple: last year's champion mid-laner, Scout, had already officially announced his contract renewal with EDG at the beginning of the year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And what Ye Bo wanted was to play in matches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But out of politeness, he still clicked [Accept].\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How's it going, Ye Bo? Want to chat?\" A Bu, with his high-pitched voice on the other end of the line, went straight to the point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sure.\" Ye Bo also wanted to hear what the other party had to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Look, honestly, I've been watching you step by step during this time, and I know your strength very well.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And in my opinion, your most valuable quality is not your present, but your future!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If our current mid-laner wasn't Scout, I definitely wouldn't have any hesitation in letting you take the starting position immediately.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Bu was indeed speaking from the heart with these words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the nominal head coach of the youth training camp, he had truly witnessed Ye Bo with his own eyes from the first day he arrived at the camp a month ago, all the way to the LDL stage a month later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His strength had visible changes almost every single day!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he wouldn't take the rumors of Ye Bo \"sleepwalking\" seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even looking only at what was visible in reality, Ye Bo's daily practice time in the youth camp averaged several hours more than everyone else's!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having diligence was one thing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most crucial part was that the other party could truly, tangibly convert that diligence into improvement!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As someone who had been a coach for ten full years, A Bu knew exactly what such a player meant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But as you said, you already have Scout.\" Ye Bo didn't like drinking chicken soup.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, but what if I guarantee you, and we can even sign a contract, that you will definitely be the sole starter for EDG next year?\" A Bu continued to state his promise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ye Bo remained unmoved upon hearing this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things for next season were too ethereal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if every team could keep their original roster unchanged, the results for the second year could very likely be worlds apart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to look too far, just look at this EDG!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dignified S-series champion from last year competed again this year with the same lineup, yet their performance in the spring split only ranked seventh in the league, barely scraping into the playoffs, only to be eliminated in the first round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aside from SKT in S5, no other team had been able to break the \"Champion's Curse\" to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, regardless of whether the other party was just feeding him empty promises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if it were true, the temptation of a starting spot next season wasn't that alluring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Ye Bo successfully heard the scent of \"gossip\" in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at it this way... could it be that it was already confirmed that Scout wouldn't be staying at EDG next year?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry, Coach A Bu, I don't want to be a substitute.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As for next year, we'll talk about next year's matters when the time comes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having said this, Ye Bo's tone already clearly carried the intention of showing the guest the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was very clear that Ye Bo had underestimated A Bu's determination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know many teams have already approached you. As far as I know, BLG should have offered you a two-million-yuan seasonal contract, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Bo didn't answer, which was an admission; it wasn't strange that the other party knew this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do not underestimate this number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must know that the maximum annual salary for a top-pick rookie player was capped at 500,000.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the record for the highest rookie contract dated back to Mr. JackeyLove during the S8 era, who once received a three-million-a-year rookie contract, which remained the highest rookie annual salary record to this day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But in reality... Ye Bo's was a \"seasonal contract,\" which meant it was only for half a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So in fact, this had already broken the record!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Bu on the other end of the phone was clearly silent for a moment, and Ye Bo seemed to be able to faintly hear the sound of someone rummaging through things on the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, A Bu spoke again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I have an idea, and I hope you can consider it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"EDG really hopes to prepare a gambling-style challenge for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The content is very simple: for the next five regular-season matches of EDG, you will serve as the starter as an 'Assessment Challenge'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you can lose no more than 3 individual games across these five major matches.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then EDG will pay you a premium of three million for the seasonal contract, and it will be explicitly written in the contract to guarantee that your subsequent match appearances this year will not be lower than Scout's.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When A Bu said this, he specifically added an explanation: \"By the way! I must emphasize that starting this year, all LPL contracts higher than 1 million have a 'gambling' nature; this is a new industry regulation under this year's salary cap system, and Scout's is the same.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, if you lose during the challenge period, we have the right to change players; I hope you can understand this.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And even if the challenge fails in the end, we will still guarantee that you have at least 20% of the total appearances, and we will still pay you the same seasonal contract price as BLG, as well as the promise mentioned earlier that you will be the sole starter next year remains unchanged.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The only requirement is a '1+1' contract...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing this, Ye Bo's expression was clearly extremely surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Has EDG gone crazy!?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[PS]:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since many people have been discussing this here, I apologize for clarifying a few points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>1. The team selection has already been changed once; for the original version, I was flamed for a hundred floors in an hour, and it's really hard for the author too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>2. The author actually has no bias toward any team. I have been watching LOL matches for 12 years since S2, and I don't know how many rounds of roster changes I've seen for every team; my mindset has long since become indifferent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frankly speaking, as an esports novel author, I am the one who most wishes for a pure, innocent team that everyone can accept, so I can write the story in peace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, everyone can think about it: in the current public opinion environment, does such a thing exist? (Unless some team wins the championship this S14, maybe... it will be better for half a year~)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>3. Just a spoiler: the problem will definitely be solved, but it definitely needs the process of the plot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[There are still people obsessing over \"rotation.\" It's very obvious that it's impossible for it to actually develop into a \"rotation\"... Please don't forget, we are the protagonist.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you still cannot accept it and it affects your reading experience.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The author sincerely bows and apologizes to you here, hoping that if we are fated, we can meet again on Qidian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But, please really do not go to the book review section to put on pressure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I really don't want to have to answer and debate this question in the book review section every day; it really affects my mindset and writing efficiency. I might just delete them later, sorry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(The main point is that it's meaningless, because no matter what, the team is already decided, and it's impossible to delete everything and rewrite it again.
