Official announcements have always been formal.

Thousands of words were sprinkled to explain the need for the new regulations from various angles, and various examples were given, and the scientific name was given as 'implementing a financial fairness system for clubs and players'.

Let's change it to human words......

It's just three words: salary cap.

Riot is a very high-sounding word, saying that it restricts the traditional giants from entering the e-sports field, so as to prevent the giants from buying all the masters and completing the monopoly of the competition area, so as to ensure that the e-sports ecology can be maintained normally, and there will be no industry chaos caused by the large gap between the rich and the poor, so that the strength of the teams in the league is relatively even.

It can also reduce the operating costs of the club, thereby bringing better economic benefits.

It was also emphasized that the salary cap is not meant to limit players.

Because in addition to salary, the league will also increase the income of players from endorsements, bonuses, live broadcasts and so on.

For the e-sports industry, there is no doubt that the salary cap system is good for the industry, and the financial fairness will be further improved, which undoubtedly plays a positive role in guiding the enthusiasm of players, and accelerating the flow of players will help further diversify the strength pattern at the competition level and comprehensively enhance the viewing and competitiveness of the league.

The truth is lofty.

But in fact, everyone knows that this is an order for a certain legend.

Just look at the pricing.

- The upper limit of the team's salary (including a series of income such as signing fees and bonuses) cannot exceed 7 million US dollars, which translates to almost 50 million.

It is equal to the bottom line value of the legendary order.

Plainly.

If you want to be a legendary list, other positions will either use a newcomer with a monthly salary of one or two thousand, or divide it from the salary of the legendary list.

And no matter how it is divided, it is impossible to organize a team above the quasi-first line.

on this.

With the exception of EDG, all clubs are clapping their hands.

Outside of the LPL, players are even more in celebration mode.

Korean players, in particular, feel that their biggest rival has collapsed, and as long as the LCK region works harder, it will definitely be able to regain the glory of dominating the world competition in the past.

"That's actually a good thing."

Edzhu was silent for a moment and thought a lot more clearly: "If we keep winning, we will destroy the League of Legends project, one team is dominant, which is more than the LCK kind of one division and one dominance; As for who to keep...... No matter what, we can't kick out all the players except Xing Dao and pull four second teams or youth players to play. ”

"Indeed." Abu nodded.

There is another aspect, Edju did not say.

That is, from the sponsor's point of view, unless Xing Dao can still kill indiscriminately with the four second-team players, it is definitely better to remove the original champions outside the top list.

If you don't keep the championship foundation, the advertising revenue that EDG can negotiate will be much less.

In terms of reason, reason, and profit, EDG can't afford to pay enough to keep Xing Dao's salary.

"You go and talk to Xing Dao, this rule is really ...... It's understandable, but it's disgusting. ”

Edju thought about it.

I still don't know how to speak in person.

Go and tell the club's biggest hero that you're not as important as the other players?

Say you don't earn more than your club?

It's the truth.

But I don't have the face to mention it!

Even if it is forced to this step by the salary cap system, EDG will inevitably be evaluated by unloading the mill and killing the donkey, crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

"Okay......"

Abu didn't have the face to mention it.

But as a wage earner, I received a task from my boss, and I really couldn't help it.

Go downstairs.

Abu stood at the door of the training room, pacing back and forth several times before pushing the door in.

To Abu's surprise, the EDG players did not have any negative emotions, but were just as happy as before.

"Brother Ji (Abu) is here!" Xing Dao was the first to say hello.

"Uh......" Abu was very surprised, and asked from the side: "Well, have you seen the new announcement?" ”

"Look, it's out of the defense tower plating, and it will take off directly after clearing the customs fourteen minutes ago!" Ah Shui thought of a trick: "My bomberman is going to be invincible, dismantle it!" ”

"It's a lot more comfortable in the middle." Xi Ye added: "I don't necessarily have much economy, but there is plating, even if the opposite side is controlled to the vanguard, the middle tower is not easy to fall - I tested it just now, and the pioneer can't hit two layers; There is also a big strengthening of the rock sparrow Q skill, and the line clearing is much faster than before, so it should be able to play. ”

"The length of the jewelry is sharpened, and the impact is more obvious, the original maximum is 180 seconds, and now it is 120 seconds." Meiko from her own point of view: "The auxiliary equipment has not changed, and the other positions cannot seamlessly control the field of vision, and the sub-belt is easier to be caught ......"

"It's not these." Abu spoke with difficulty: "I'm talking about another announcement, which is...... MD: What should I say? ”

"Hahahahaha-"

"Hahaha-"

"Sure enough, this is it."

"Guess right, guess right!"

“……”

The EDG team burst into laughter.

"What ...... laugh about"

Abu was confused: "It's the latest announcement from Riot, you go and take a look first......"

"I just saw it." The factory director was embarrassed to continue to tease his old friend, and said what he had just discussed: "Xing Dao decided to give up his salary and continue to stay in the team, but as a substitute, he usually does not play." ”

"Huh?!" Abu was so surprised that his mouth was open enough to stuff a pear.

Fifty million a year.

Even if some are given to teammates, it is more than 40 million.

Say don't want it?

"It doesn't matter, as long as the money is enough."

Xing Dao smiled: "Besides, there won't be much left after the four million tax deductions." ”

A monthly salary of 8W or more is subject to 45% tax.

It's only a little more than halfway there.

Therefore, at the level of star players, commercial endorsements and live broadcast contracts are far above salary income.

Because commercial endorsement is a labor remuneration, it is taxed at 20%.

Although the live broadcast is deducted according to the proportion of 45%, the relationship between the platforms is a hard competition - the cake is so big, if you want to eat more, you must grab it in other people's mouths, unlike professional clubs, where there is a win-win situation where the tide rises, so the price given is much more than the club's salary.

According to the price negotiated with the manager of Menghu TV before。

Xing Dao guarantees 120 hours of live broadcast time every month, and he will earn more than playing games.

As for staying on the team as a substitute and not playing normally, it is not only to save face for Riot and avoid further restrictions, but also to disgust the real man Tedamir and the big bald Ruiz for five seconds......

It can also scare other clubs.

As long as Xing Dao is still in the EDG squad, even if he doesn't play, EDG's opponents will feel the pressure like a mountain.

"Okay!"

Abu was overjoyed: "That's great...... Let's not talk about it yet, this is the biggest heat before the end of the transfer period! ”
