In the dark and enclosed space, the alarm clock buzzed.
Gu Xing opened his eyes with difficulty and grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table.
Turning off the alarm clock, he subconsciously glanced at the time.
at noon.
Then he collapsed on the bed and didn't want to move, staring blankly at the white ceiling.
There was a rustle on the bed next to him, and Ding Ran poured a few sips of water into his mouth. After he regained consciousness, he muttered, "The work schedule for a professional is really amazing. We have to adjust it back when we return to Zhenhai..."
After they arrived at the VG base, they went back to the dormitory at two or three in the morning just like professional players, got up at noon, and entered the training room before 1 p.m.
This is completely different from when they were in school, and the two of them haven't gotten used to it yet.
Fortunately, the curtains in the dormitory room are thick enough to block the bright sunshine from the outside world, otherwise I would be woken up by the sun in the morning.
"I have to go shopping on Instagram today," Gu Xing yawned, "Do you want to go?"
"Well..." Ding Rang just woke up, and his brain had not yet returned to high speed. He thought for a while before replying, "Forget it, you and Jack can go, it's not convenient for me."
He has such a relationship with Ding Jun, so it is not appropriate to go to IG, and besides, he was not invited.
Gu Xing put on his sweatshirt, stood up, put on a pair of slippers, and headed to the bathroom. While brushing his teeth, he checked his phone and found a message from Ding Jun in the early morning.
[I heard that Xiao Gu you are planning to go to IG for a trial today. I thought about it all night and talked about the options that VG can provide...]
There was a lot of content, so Gu Xing went through it carefully to make sure he didn't miss any information.
There are two main options offered by Ding Jun.
First, I served as Dandy's substitute in the LPL during the summer, but I couldn't guarantee the number of appearances.
Second, go to the secondary league.
After VG's second team UP was downgraded to LSPL in 2015, top laner Long Ge and mid laner Puni Shotd were transferred back to the first team, while auxiliary Heart and jungler Eimy went to LGD.
The main force was depleted, and UP started a new lineup to compete in the secondary league this spring.
As expected, UP's results were not ideal.
Ranked third from the bottom in the spring split, and ultimately lost the relegation match and was unable to participate in this summer's LSPL.
According to the league regulations, teams that have been dropped cannot register for the next City Heroes Contest.
In other words, we have to wait half a year until next spring before UP can play official games and strive to return to the LSPL.
That's why Ding Jun wanted to sell the second team's jungler World6 to OMG at that time, so that the players would not be unable to play games and delay their careers, and he could also gain some blood for himself.
Originally, he wanted to wait for half a year.
However, Gu Xing's excellent performance in the trial training made Ding Jun regain his interest.
UP won't be able to play in the minor leagues this summer.
But he has money!
Wouldn't it be enough to buy an LSPL participating team, then change the team name and include Gu Xing?
If you can make it to the LPL by just trying your best, you can earn a lot of money directly by getting a spot in the top league!
Ding Jun’s final salary conditions and lineup matching are two-pronged, [Even if you go to play LSPL, the salary I will give you will definitely be the highest among teams of the same level, and if you perform well, the bonus will definitely not be less; at the same time, I will try my best to win JakeyLove, you two
Maybe we can be teammates next summer]
He did not discuss the relationship between Gu Xing and Ding Ran throughout the article.
It's no secret that the two of them have a good relationship.
Ding Jun insisted on bringing it up, but it was inappropriate.
The emotional card is usually played, and it pays to be gentle and silent. When it comes to the last step, Ding Jun only talks about the conditions and nothing else.
Gu Xing thought about it after brushing his teeth.
To put it bluntly, the conditions offered by Ding Jun are already pretty good.
At least he is very satisfied now, he has made a lot of money, and maybe he can be a teammate with his acquaintance JakeyLove.
Judging from the level shown in these two days of training matches, the two of them are basically acting as assistant coaches in the secondary league, and if their teammates don't send anything, they will win.
After Gu Xing replied that he would consider it carefully, he packed his backpack and went to the next room to find JakeyLove.
When the door opened, he found that Yu Wenbo's body was wider than before.
"Are you swollen again?" Gu Xing couldn't help but tease him. He almost didn't recognize the other person after getting up yesterday.
"It's normal. I get edema every time I get up." JakeyLove rubbed his face. "It will be fine in the afternoon."
Next to Longhu Haowang Mountain is Songjiang University Town, where restaurants are densely distributed. After filling their stomachs, the two called a taxi and went straight to the IG base.
"I see that most e-sports clubs are based here in Songjiang. Why is IG in the city center?"
Gu Xing was very confused.
The address the IG staff previously left for him was Shimao Riverside Garden in Pudong New Area.
After checking the map, Gu Xing found that the base was on the Huangpu River, only 3 kilometers away from the Oriental Pearl Tower, so every inch of land was at a premium.
"Principal Wang, you're not short of money," said JakeyLove, who had been to IG the last time he came to Shanghai for trial training. "The unit price of that place is four times more expensive than that of Good Hope Mountain. It's really the best among the best."
The distance between the two places is 40 kilometers, and due to the traffic jam on the way, it took an hour to reach the destination.
Outside the community, there was a man with a beard waiting here. He looked about thirty years old and held an IG team flag in his hand. He seemed to be a staff member who came to greet him.
When the other party saw JakeyLove, he hurried forward and helped pay the taxi bill.
Jack and he obviously knew each other and had a good relationship. The two chatted and laughed.
"Gu Xing, my good brother, happened to have a trial training with IG, so I came here together," JakeyLove did not forget to introduce to both parties, "Lao Gu, this is Su Xiaoluo, the manager of IG's League of Legends branch."
He knew that he was a favorite in the eyes of major clubs, and he could also guess that the branch manager personally came out to greet him, probably for his own sake.
In comparison, Gu Xing is slightly older and has not been well-known before. According to IG, his potential is obviously not as good as Jack's.
JakeyLove doesn't want his friends to be treated coldly.
"I know, Dong Xiaosa told me," Su Xiaoluo's attitude was not as intimate as that of JakeyLove, but it was not bad. She took the initiative to reach out and shake hands with him, "Just call me Xiaoluo."
However, his main attack direction was obviously Jack, and he kept chatting with Yu Wenbo when he entered the community.
It wasn't until he stepped into a residential building that Su Xiaoluo turned around and introduced to Gu Xing, "The first and second teams of the IG League of Legends branch live together. The second team YG was also famous before. Electric batons and real dragons were all ours."
member, but my results this spring were not very good, I plan to try again next year..."
The more Gu Xing listened, the more something seemed wrong.
He knew about YG before he came.
VG's second team UP had poor results in the spring split that ended at the end of last month and was forced to be relegated from the LSPL. IG's second team YG was no exception.
And YG was even worse. They didn't even have to play in the relegation round. They were ranked second to last in the secondary league and were kicked out according to the rules. The team was unable to participate in the City Heroes Competition in the second half of the year.
Now listening to Su Xiaoluo's tone, IG not only has no plans to buy LSPL quota this summer, but also has no intention of forming a team for the City Heroes Contest!
I really plan to wait half a year and call back in the spring of 2017!
Then what is Gu Xing doing here?
If he only plays for two months in the summer, wouldn't he only have the possibility of competing with the kid Youshen for the jungle position?
JakeyLove also heard Su Xiaoluo's plan, and he and Gu Xing looked at each other in the elevator.
Things don't seem to be right. See you at 5:50 pm! PS: Teams that are relegated from LSPL cannot participate in the next City Hero Contest that year. This is the rule of the L.ACE League. According to the real timeline, JakeyLove was in June of 2016
He joined IG in March, and it was not until the spring of 2017 that he led the second team YG to participate in the City Heroes Contest and successfully entered the LSPL. In the finals of that City Heroes Contest, he faced off against an EDG affiliated team.
The player is i wave y. This is also the first competition between two new generation ADCs born in the 2000s on the field.
