Chapter 22-IG-Yuan Officially Connected
Tank-type heroes, no matter how good their equipment and development are, must cooperate with their teammates.
If your teammates don't have any output, it's useless no matter how strong you are.
Therefore, in addition to resisting damage, tank heroes also have to provide protection and limit the enemy's C position from cutting into the back row.
Simply put, it is a tool role, working hard without complaint.
This is because Rookie and Kakao had a better rhythm and restricted LGD. If it was a normal laning match, Kid would not be able to beat Imp.
But even so, if Kid died suddenly in any team fight, they would still be difficult to beat.
Tank heroes can only add icing on the cake when the team is at an advantage or slightly disadvantaged, but it is impossible for them to turn the tide and hold up the sky with one hand when the team is at a great disadvantage.
A good tank can make the game end faster and more stable, but one less is not a big problem.
In the Rank competition, Yuan Shen had more carries, and the feeling of helping others in times of need and changing the entire battlefield situation single-handedly made him even a little intoxicated.
"How about it, are you feeling a little bored?"
Fu Manduo smiled and patted Yuan Shen on the shoulder. As an old coach, he understood the young players' thoughts very well.
Who doesn’t want to show off?
Who doesn’t want to carry and receive cheers from everyone?
But as a player, the version must be considered.
The tank's top equipment is cost-effective and has good self-growth potential. Once it is at a disadvantage, the warrior can't play at all.
Even if it is Irelia and Crocodile, the most output equipment they can make is Randuin's Invigoration.
No matter how strong a player is, it is impossible to fight against the version.
"A little bit, but I need the team more. I can do anything as long as I can win."
Yuan Shen shook his head and said to Fu Manduo.
This sentence was also said to other members of IG.
Play tanks and win.
He just wants to win.
Even if you are not the MVP, you can still earn three points.
Equivalent to three ranked wins.
More importantly, the feeling of victory is never too much, even if it happens a hundred thousand times.
Who wants to lose a game on purpose?
"Will win!"
Rookie stood up.
Although he only reached Yuan Shen's shoulders, his gaze was equally firm.
Kid and Shekeke's gazes were somewhat evasive.
In the traditional double C, the ADC in the bottom lane is crucial.
But he is somewhat unable to bear this responsibility.
If the goal is to win, let Yuan Shen play a carry hero, and there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with him being a mixed player.
……
"Yuan Shen, come with me."
Su Xiaoluo waved his hand and left Fu Manduo and the IG team to review the game.
"Good brother, let's sign the contract quickly and start the summer season right away!"
Rookie patted Yuan Shen on the shoulder. He had this feeling during the spring season.
IG is very short of top laner!
Their mid and jungle configurations are at the same level as LGD and EDG, and they even have an advantage, but they can't beat either Imp or Deft in the bottom lane.
The mid laner was forced to switch to top lane to make room for himself, and his performance in the top lane can only be described as average. Players who are used to playing mid lane assassins often have unexpected operations when playing those bulky tanks.
But whether in terms of pressure-bearing experience or carrying ability, they are no match for Acorn and Tong Yang.
The shortcomings in both the upper and lower lines always constrained them when facing LGD and EDG.
Now, if Yuan Shen can join, not to mention the complete form, at least the top, mid and jungle can gain a great advantage.
"Yuan Shen, come here for a moment."
Su Xiaoluo invited Yuan Shen to go to the manager's office. He had already prepared a contract for Yuan Shen.
"This is just a draft standard contract. Please check if there are any problems. If there are no objections, you can check in tomorrow and then get along well with your teammates and prepare for the summer season."
Yuan Shen took the contract and didn't say anything, but read it carefully.
Having just escaped from OMG, a first-generation contract team, Yuan Shen doesn't want to fall into another pit for no apparent reason.
After all, Su Xiaoluo's reputation is not much inferior to OMG and RNG.
Looking at Yuan Shen's focused expression, a hint of impatience flashed in Su Xiaoluo's eyes.
He wanted to sign Yuan Shen, not only because of the pressure from the principal, but also because he saw Yuan Shen's potential.
At the age of eighteen, he can play both carry-type heroes and tank-type heroes like Maokai. It is obvious that he is more suitable for IG than Zzitai.
There was no way he would let such a person get away.
After all, he thought that although his character had some flaws, he was still very confident in his vision.
He is confident that he will not make a mistake in choosing someone.
Except for the older generation PDD and Xiaoxiao, the contracts of all IG players, including Rookie and Kakao, were all arranged by him.
In his eyes, there are significant differences between Chinese and foreign players in terms of personality, attitude and culture.
Although their goal is to play League of Legends, the attitudes of both can often affect the attitudes of the coach and other members of the team towards them, and even directly affect the long-term development of their careers.
For example, when signing contracts, foreign players will be very cautious, even to the point of being slow. They can spend more than ten hours just signing a standard LPL contract, but they are also very sensitive when it comes to issues involving their own interests, which makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
However, the Chinese players are much easier to deal with in this regard. It is no exaggeration to say that they are outspoken, or they are inexperienced and have confusion in their eyes. They have no idea what the contract means to them.
The signing of a contract only takes a dozen minutes or even a few minutes, and some people don’t even finish reading the contract.
The Chinese players are concerned about two issues: salary and whether they can be paid on time. Then they just need to sign their names, arrange dormitory training and wait for the official announcement. The process is very quick.
But Yuan Shen gave him the feeling that he was somewhat like a Korean, not in terms of appearance, but in terms of the style of doing things.
Although he is just an eighteen-year-old young man, he is very steady and his words and deeds are not at all out of line. He is definitely a sophisticated person.
This view also unconsciously influenced him. At least in his opinion, this contract was definitely a conscientious contract.
"Um, what's the problem?"
Seeing Yuan Shen raise his head, Su Xiaoluo asked kindly.
"Three years. Can I sign for half a year first?"
Yuan Shen’s words made Su Xiaoluo stunned.
He didn't understand why Yuan Shen didn't care about salary and benefits, but instead focused on the contract term.
Yuan Shen's strength is obvious to all. Apart from anything else, just at this age, as long as he doesn't do anything like breaking his hand while hitting a trash can or getting injured while participating in a variety show, he is definitely a potential stock.
Signing a three-year contract at a relatively low price, even if the player really works out in the future, they have the priority to renew the contract. At worst, they can make a lot of money by selling the player.
But...half a year? ?
"Well, Yuan Shen, there are something I must tell you." Su Xiaoluo held Yuan Shen's hand with a sincere and eager look in her eyes.
"I'm doing this for your own good. You have to know that the golden period of e-sports players is extremely short. Some people may quickly go from world-class players to second-rate players in the league once the version changes or they reach age. Therefore, major professional teams basically sign players on a one-year basis. Only star players with very high transfer fees will have long-term contracts of three to five years, such as EDG's Mingkai. For players like these, clubs value not only their strength, but also their commercial value and traffic. Even if their level is not good, as long as they are still in the club, they will have irreplaceable commercial value."
"The reason I gave you a three-year contract is because I think highly of you..."
Su Xiaoluo advised earnestly.
If the contract is only for half a year, he will have very little room for maneuver.
With a basic salary of 8,000 yuan per month, plus bonus sharing, live broadcast contracts, and economic contracts, there are so many things he can do.
As time goes by, whether from an emotional or legal perspective, Yuan Shen will be branded with the IG mark and it will be impossible to erase it.
"I understand, Manager."
If Yuan Shen didn't know Su Xiaoluo's character, he would have almost been cheated.
But isn't it just acting?
Who can’t do it anymore!
"Thanks to the manager. I have been a professional player for half a year and no one has ever been so nice to me. I feel bad when I think about the days I spent in OMG. It was just like hell. If I hadn't left in time, I would be depressed now.
But public is public, private is private. I understand that IG treats me well, but I also have my concerns. If my level really declines and I can't play in LPL anymore, I can't just eat and wait for death in the club. It's just half a year, there is still a probation period for work. You just watch my performance. If my level is not good enough, you can fire me at any time."
Yuan Shen suppressed his nausea and looked at Su Xiaoluo. Not only was there sincerity in his eyes, but mist slowly gathered in them, as if he was about to cry if he disagreed with her...
"What happened..."
Su Xiaoluo secretly thought that something was wrong.
Where did this expert in palace fighting come from?
OMG you still teach this?
But it's also true that if someone can escape from OMG unscathed, how could he do so without some skills?
He didn't believe a single word Yuan Shen said. He was afraid that his level would decline and drag down the club. Bullshit!
He is obviously very confident that he can achieve good results within half a year, and once the S5 season is over, his value will naturally rise.
The reason why they are unwilling to sign long-term contracts is to wait for the right price and sit back and relax.
"You are still young..."
Su Xiaoluo sighed in her heart.
Countless talented players have this idea, but how many of them can truly live up to their worth?
For an eighteen-year-old boy, there are too many temptations in life.
Honor, flowers, beauty, fame and fortune...
Anyone who can emerge from all kinds of temptations without changing his original intention is not a human being at all, but a saint!
Su Xiaoluo hesitated for a moment, then sighed and agreed.
"The signing fee is 30,000 yuan, and the other conditions remain unchanged. The live broadcast contract must be posted on IG. The live broadcast platform invested by the principal is in preparation. You can check these things online."
Su Xiaoluo stood up and walked to the computer, quickly modified the contract and printed it out.
"Look again. Let me make it clear that during the competition you must obey the club's management and are not allowed to contact coaches and players from other clubs to discuss transfers. Otherwise, you will have to pay five times the penalty. Is this okay?"
"Of course, but..."
Yuan Shen was a little hesitant. He also had a request, but he didn't know whether Su Xiaoluo minded or not.
"What? Just say it if you have something to say. It will be easier later if you make it clear now."
Su Xiaoluo sat down again and looked at Yuan Shen.
"It's not a big deal. I have a cat. Can I bring it to the base?"
After Yuan Shen finished speaking, he added: "I prepare the cat food and cat litter myself, and I will clean up the excrement. It won't affect the team, but... there may be a little too much hair."
"Ha! I thought it was something else. Don't worry, I've wanted to get a cat for a long time, but I never had the time. This is a good opportunity... Um, your cat doesn't bite, does it?"
Su Xiaoluo was a little hesitant. Since the principal had a dog, it wouldn't be a big deal for him to have a cat.
What the superior likes, the subordinates will like even more. Maybe the principal will even look at him with a higher opinion of him because of this.
"No, it's very well behaved."
Yuan Shen quickly assured.
"Okay, you can take the contract with you. There are two copies. You can stay at the base today or go back to Liu Mou. I'll arrange a car to pick you up tomorrow."
Yuan Shen nodded and was about to turn around and leave, but suddenly turned around and looked at Su Xiaoluo, as if he suddenly remembered something.
"Why? Anything else?"
Su Xiaoluo raised her head in surprise.
"It's not a big deal, it's just... me and Uzi, you know that, manager?"
"Oh, this... is indeed a bit difficult."
Su Xiaoluo lowered her eyes as if in deep thought, but soon began to smile.
"Just kidding, it's just a small matter. IG is never afraid of trouble. It's not like Uzi is the only one with fans."
Looking at Su Xiaoluo's heroic look, Yuan Shen chuckled twice, turned around and left the office.
Speaking of which, Su Xiaoluo really does have some metaphysics in him.
If Uzi's air ticket had not been reimbursed, IG-Uzi might have been officially connected.
Including Huanfeng and Leyan, all of them were sent away by him, but later on, scandals were exposed...
It's a bit strange to say that he has good judgment of people. After all, he let his brother run away, and he also let Homme go. There was also the scandal that Ah Shui ate instant noodles while they ate seafood at the celebration banquet.
All I can say is that management and the team have always had to be viewed separately.
Many successful and famous teams have management teams that are filled with shit.
……
"It's done. We'll move in tomorrow."
As soon as he left the office, Yuan Shen was surrounded by IG members.
Seeing Rookie's eager eyes, Yuan Shen didn't keep them in suspense and directly told them the result of the negotiation.
"Great! With you joining us, the Milky Way can no longer stop us. It's time to prepare our forces, fight our way out into outer space, and dominate the entire universe!"
Shekeke slapped her thigh and almost jumped up.
With Yuan Shen in charge of the early-stage command, he can completely act as an invisible person, and he will finally not have to fearfully take the blame in the future.
"Indeed, you are welcome to join us. We will be a family from now on. I will mix noodles for you. My noodles are delicious. If you don't believe me, just ask Rookie."
KID was not willing to be outdone and took the initiative to speak.
“The summer season begins!”
Rookie is also very happy. The top lane can share some of the pressure of carrying, and he can also feel much more relaxed.
However, in a place where no one noticed, Zzitai was sitting on the sofa, silently following everyone on IG.
The joys and sorrows of different people are not the same.
Now he just wants to laugh...
