The next day, early morning.
Chu Ge was woken up by a knock on the door.
Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Chu Ge put on his pink panther pajamas and opened the door. He was slightly startled when he saw Ming Kai in front of him, "Oh, what are you doing so early in the morning!"
"You didn't tell me about such a big deal like signing a contract!?"
Chu Ge squinted his eyes slightly and yawned, dragged his heavy legs into the bathroom, and said vaguely while brushing his toothbrush: "We haven't signed a formal contract yet. The club just submitted a written signing application to LPL officials. It will take another 10 working days for approval.”
"My Free Agent Signing Permit Application Form has not been submitted yet," Chu Ge took a sip of water and spat out the foam in his mouth. "Signing a contract is really troublesome."
After hearing this, Ming Kai breathed a sigh of relief, "There's really nothing I can do against you. I told others in the anchor operation department that starting tonight, you don't have to continue working part-time."
"Um?"
Chu Ge wrung out the towel, tilted his head and asked curiously, "Brother Mingkai, your salary is almost the ceiling for domestic players, and you still manage so many side jobs?"
"if not?"
Mingkai sat on the chair angrily and crossed his legs, "Brother, I will be 23 years old in two months. I am at the end of my career...how many more years can I play?"
After washing up, Chu Ge also sat on the bed and said with a playful smile, "It's better to stay strong. I feel it's not too late to quit after you win the S competition."
"Don't be such a bastard!" Mingkai was amused and said with a habitual twist of the corner of his mouth, "How easy is it to win the global finals championship? Just watch the LCK game next door."
"But come here today, we will be rivals when we meet again."
"Be careful, don't cry because of my military training!"
Hearing this, Chu Ge's eyes widened and he said in disbelief, "If you can take military training and go on the road, then I probably won't leave the team!"
Ming Kai smiled and did not speak, but told his little brother, "I will ask someone to sublet the house for you. You will have to rely on yourself in the future."
"Fuck!" Chu Ge frowned and suddenly became worried, "What's wrong, Brother Mingkai, are you about to give an explanation? The will has been written, am I the beneficiary of the insurance?!"
"roll!"
...
At the same time, YM base.
"Old prostitute, what's going on over there with Little Pigeon!" The tall Gao Zhenning asked anxiously, "Will he come or not?"
PDD did not reply.
He lowered his head and flipped through his phone, showing the chat history to the tall young man in front of him.
Chu Ge: [Teacher whoring! Thank you for your love. I have officially signed a contract with IG. It is a pity that we can no longer work together. 】
Gao Zhenning pursed his lips and looked dull.
"Don't think about Xiao Ningzi, it is inevitable for this kid to join the LPL team," PDD patted Wang Ning on the shoulder and comforted him, "So many LPL clubs called me back then and got his WeChat ID and Telephone……"
“It’s very popular!”
Gao Zhenning sighed softly.
He originally thought he would have a strong top laner as a teammate this year, fulfilling his dream when he first entered the professional arena.
——Enter the top professional league in the YM promotion and relegation tournament.
It's a pity... Ever since the name was changed to YM's predecessor MGB team, it has always been one step behind.
Every time in the finals, I had an inexplicable feeling that someone was playing him, and he couldn't win even if he penetrated the opponent's bottom lane.
What is the problem?
"Go back to training quickly. The LPL transfer period has nothing to do with us."
"What?"
Gao Zhenning's brows spread, as if he suddenly figured out something, "It does matter! Why doesn't it matter?"
"Brother Liu, I also want to go to IG for a tryout!"
"Don't be kidding, why don't you leave here..." Before he could finish his words, looking at Gao Zhenning's serious face, PDD took the words back abruptly.
"Stop making trouble, you kid..."
"I can definitely try out!"
"Are you serious?"
Seeing the tall and tall Gao Zhenning nodding with extreme confidence, PDD frowned and stared at his eyes for a long time.
"Do you think you are cute like this?"
"Is this a small thing?"
Listening to the roar, Gao Zhenning was not moved at all.
The two were in a stalemate for no less than 10 minutes.
PDD still couldn't help but said, "Go, go, go! You geoducks are really troublesome."
"Let me say hello to the principal first. They have trial training tomorrow. You go and try it out..."
"If it doesn't work, come back."
"If you pass the trial training, I will cooperate with you and give the green light to pass... This can be regarded as repaying the principal's kindness!"
"Great!"
When Gao Zhenning heard this, he jumped up and down happily.
"Don't get excited yet!"
PDD waved his hand to calm him down, "I have made a three-way agreement with you. If you don't agree, then don't blame Brother Liu for becoming a capitalist."
Gao Zhenning nodded repeatedly, "Don't mention three, I agree to all ten!"
"If you pass the trial training, I will take the initiative to terminate the contract and transfer you to IG at a very low price. Your salary in the first year will be very low. Can you accept it?"
"As long as I can play in the LPL, I'm willing to back it up!"
"Don't talk too much yet..." PDD said seriously, "Now you only need to answer whether you accept or not."
"Accept, accept!" Gao Zhenning's face was full of excitement, as if he had seen the grand occasion of riding in the LPL in the future.
"Second, you can't try out as an ADC."
As soon as this condition came out, Gao Zhenning, who had originally vowed to do so, completely lost his temper, and his previous heroic words turned into idioms.
There is a saying circulating in the LSPL professional circles.
——Play ADC instead of IG, play top lane instead of EDG, whoever goes into these two big sinkholes will be the gravedigger.
"What about the last one?"
PDD did not speak, but glanced at the time, "Principle 3, when you get your results, you need to cooperate with YM in commercial promotions."
"I'll start broadcasting right away, you have 5 minutes to think about it."
Gao Zhenning bit his lip, his expression looking very tangled.
Points 1 and 3 are both acceptable, but point 2 is equivalent to giving up your comfort zone and going to a completely unfamiliar field.
Top, mid, and ADC can be excluded. The only positions that can be changed are support and jungle.
"5 minutes are almost up, have you thought about it?"
"I accept!"
...
IG Esports Club.
Chu Ge stood at the door of the club villa with his suitcase in hand, looking at the big 'IG' logo on the top of the building.
"Little pigeon, come in quickly!"
At this moment, the team leader Chen Zi, wearing casual clothes, walked out of the club quickly and took Chu Ge's luggage.
After meeting again after 10 days, Chu Ge also learned the inside story of Chen Zi's enthusiasm from Song Yijin.
It turned out that it was Principal Wang who gave the death order that Chu Ge must be kept. The final decision on the contract was not made by Su Xiaoluo, but by the boss of IG.
It's normal for Chen Zi to be enthusiastic about people appointed by his boss.
"Has the LPL official approved it?" Chu Ge asked.
He sublet the apartment and took care of his own affairs before he felt comfortable coming to the club to report.
"I just came down. Let me take you to see the room first. There will be newcomers to report later. You can sign the official contract together."
While talking and laughing, the two walked into the base carrying their things.
The structure of IG e-sports club is not only the League of Legends branch, but also the training room for e-sports projects such as DOTA2 and CSGO is also on the first floor, which is similar to the structure of EDG.
Chen Zi took Chu Ge through the fitness area and leisure area, and then walked to the stairwell to the accommodation area on the second floor.
