Chapter 348: Contract Turmoil
The transfer turmoil surrounding EDG, deft and UZI continued, and soon, EDG's translator published a Weibo post that translated a passage from Deft's mother on social media.
Translation: I came to the hotel where I stayed in Shanghai with my son, and you can see the EDG building in the distance, my son has lived here for a year, and he is about to start another year, and his son has only one hope, and he is very eager for the results that the team and fans are hoping for, praying that my son can achieve his goal here and repay those fans and the team who supported him, and then return to South Korea with dignity.
The meaning of this Weibo is also obvious, it is rumored that deft's contract and EDG are signed until the end of the spring game, so now it seems that at least S6 will be played.
In this way, EDG obviously won't spend a lot of money to buy UZI, and for a while, the discussion of the majority of players has turned into a search for UZI's next home...
But then, a post became popular all over the Internet, and someone posted a picture of the LPL player's contract, in which UZI's contract expired in May 2016.
Some netizens left a message questioning the authenticity of the form, and soon, the poster explained: This contract form was dragged down from Riot's official website, and the last update time of this data was July this year, so it is not immediate.
Riot officials want to promote the professionalization process, and the release of this data is to make the transfer more standardized, because Riot stipulates that the club cannot privately contact players for poaching until the expiration of the player's contract. Therefore, if the contract of UZI expires in one and a half years, it means that the contract information submitted to Riot by the relevant parties of OMG or LPL is one and a half years.
After receiving the explanation, the transfer discussion around UZI gradually subsided, but the poster did not just post UZI's contract, but also sent more than a dozen team contract information.
Su Yi also went to see it, compared to the LCK, it is indeed a bit disorganized, in some teams, some players' contracts 20151231 expired, some signed until the end of 2018, and even signed until 2020...
And the LCK seems to have reformed and tried to sign a contract once a year.
Generally speaking, the Korean aid bought by the live broadcast platform is signed for one year, and the team pays for it for 2-3 years.
At present, most of the LPL contracts are signed for 2-3 years, and many players' contracts expire for 16 years, accounting for about 40 percent, and the remaining ones that expire at the end of this year and 17 years are almost 40 percent, and the last 18 years are about 10 percent, and a few are signed for 19 or even 20 years.
From the dozen or so teams in that post, Su Yi took a look, and it seemed that there were a total of five players whose contracts expired in 2020.
They are snake - Matin, expired in 2020427.
There are four left, all in RNG...
They are:
MLXGββ202061
wuxxββ202061
xiaohuββ202027
Letmeββ202081
As far as Su Yi knows, king originally only signed for two years, so looking at it, Bai Xing is really optimistic about them, and he transferred to RNG and continued directly to 2020.
How to say it, you are willing to do such a thing as a contract, and since you signed it, it means that you agreed to the contract when you signed it.
And RNG's long-term contract, in fact, for RNG, he also took risks, if you don't play out in the future, RNG will still have to support you until 2020.
From the perspective of the future, RNG or Shirahoshi's vision is really good, and this contract directly guarantees the future of RNG.
At this time, Su Yi probably understood, why did MXLG want to raise their salaries later, this 15-year contract they signed, who were they at that time? How tall can RNG be given to Gongzi?
When they were in king and GT, they were just entering the playoffs, and some of them even went to the relegation game, so could they still give an annual salary of one million?
Don't think about it, the salary offered to them by this contract will definitely not be too high, of course, because the contract is very long, there will definitely be a clause for an annual increase in salary, but this increase will certainly not be particularly high.
Su Yi guessed that at this time, Xiangguo Xiaohu's annual salary is probably the first-line level in the LPL, and this first-line refers to the first-line of domestic players.
At this time, it is the era of Korean aid, and it is common for the salaries of Korean aid to be higher than that of domestic players in LPL teams, such as deft years of hundreds of thousands of US dollars, koro, meiko, they are about tens of thousands of US dollars...
At the same time, Su Yi also saw the contract situation of some star players, such as LGD.
The contracts of godv, pyl, TBQ and imp all expire at the end of this year, and it was rumored that IMP had renewed their contracts, and LGD was already negotiating contract renewals with others.
Interestingly, imp's contract expires at the end of this year, while Acom and Flame, both Korean aids, are signed until the end of 17.
In other words, at the beginning of this year, when LGD signed these Korean players, imp only signed with them for one year, while the other two signed for three years.
As last year's world champion ADC, imp is extremely confident in himself, he only signed for one year, he believes that he may be able to play a higher net worth after a year, otherwise, he will definitely choose a long-term contract with more money and low risk.
Fellow champions of Samsung White, pawn signed with EDG for two years, Mata, Dandy and VG for three years, and looper and M3 for only one year.
Maybe Dade regretted it at this time, why did he only sign with M3 for a year... According to his performance this year, M3 will definitely not renew his contract with them, not to mention that M3 has been relegated.
Even, Dade has to worry about his future, is there still a club that wants him? Even if it does, it will definitely require a DADE pay cut.
E-sports, or strength speaks! If you have strength, you don't have to worry about anything.
Su Yi also saw the contract situation of WOA, in which the contracts of doinb and GimGoon expired at the end of the year, and when they signed at the beginning of the year, they were signed for one year.
There is also SMLZ, he transferred from M3, and now the contract of WOA is still the one he signed in M3, and his contract with M3 also expires at the end of the year.
Only Ning and Xiao Ming's contracts expire in June next year, and they were signed for one year at that time...
"Headache..."
yes, a headache.
After seeing the contract situation of WOA, Su Yimeng woke up, with WOA's results this year, plus the contract situation of internal players, I am afraid that there are already many teams poaching people...
Thinking about it, Su Yi immediately made a call to Qin Zifeng, and after connecting, Su Yi hurriedly said, "Manager Qin, how is the renewal of our contract with the player?" β
β...β
Su Yi waited, didn't hear a reply, and asked, "Are you there, Manager Qin?" Can you hear me? β
"I heard..."
The voice from the mobile phone seemed to be very tired, and Su Yi couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with Manager Qin?" Sick? β
"Huh-" On the phone, Qin Zifeng took a deep breath, adjusted it, and said, "It's okay, it's just a little exhausted." β
"What's wrong?"
"I've been busy with the renewal you asked about these days."
Su Yi had a bad premonition in his heart, it seemed that the situation was not good, and his heart tightened: "Is it going well?" β
"It didn't go well..."
After being silent for a while, Qin Zifeng said, "According to the information I have gotten, almost every player of our players has several clubs contacting them. β
Hearing this, Su Yi hurriedly said, "Then hurry up and renew the contract." β
"I've communicated with the players, but... The result was not good, there was no agreement. β
"Why? As long as we keep this lineup, we can still hit the championship next year! Su Yi didn't quite understand.
Qin Zifeng sighed: "Their asking price is too high, the club... No money..."
"No money?" Su Yileng was a little incredulous: "No, let's be in the top four this year, is the boss still unwilling to invest money?" β
