League: I really didn't tank!

029 Signing successful!

Typical trial training requires two to three rounds to ensure stability.

But perhaps because of EDG as a top-tier testing ground, today's tryouts went incredibly smoothly. Without any extra training, all four players passed.

Linko took several players and coaches to a restaurant near the base, booked a private room, and had a meal first. After they were full, he brought everyone back to sign the contract.

"Signing contracts should be done one at a time, so... Chen Dongqing, you can go first."

Chen Dongqing nodded and followed him into the office, where he soon saw a contract laid out in front of him.

"The contract has already been drafted at the base."

Linko laughed and said, "You don't have to rush to sign. You can go back and discuss it with your parents. After all, you're not even eighteen yet."

"It's alright." Chen Dongqing smiled. "I have the authority to make this decision myself."

He was, after all, a transmigrator. Although he wasn't very old in his previous life, he had seen a lot of contract disputes in the streaming industry because he was a popular streamer. So he had some experience.

"Okay." Linko nodded and said, "Let me give you a brief overview. This contract is for one year, lasting until the winter transfer window of 2016. The total salary is 420,000, with a monthly salary of 35,000. In addition, we will give you a signing bonus of 100,000, for a total of 520,000."

"Don't think it's too low, I've actually already applied for an additional amount from the club."

Chen Dongqing nodded. "Yes, I can accept that."

His annual salary of 520,000 yuan is actually more than five times that of his previous contract.

Although a lot of capital was involved in the LPL during S5 and S6, the capital mainly went into the pockets of those star players.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Korean players earn seven or eight million a year, and various star players earn five or six million a year. In reality, the role members in the team usually only earn twenty or thirty thousand a month. They are purely salary-collecting players.

Even for a jungler like Mala Xiangguo, who led his team from the secondary league to the LPL, the monthly salary is only 20,000.

For a newcomer, 500,000 a year is definitely not low, and is even quite high, which means they have benefited from the capital injection.

"Haha, I'm glad you understand." Linko smiled. "The reason we offered you this contract is twofold: first, we value your potential and think you're a promising talent; second, the club has a lot of money this year."

Swift, a top South Korean player, came to China and earned an annual salary of two million last year. To put it dramatically, under normal circumstances, two million could have bought all four of this year's trial rookies.

Looking at it this way, these four newcomers this year are truly excellent value for money.

At least last year when Swift was playing, they never beat EDG.

So the club was quite generous, increasing everyone's salary significantly, almost doubling it.

"In addition, there is also an accompanying live streaming contract." Linko said, taking out another contract, but this one was thinner, consisting of only two simple pages.

Linko explained, "Because the club has investments in live streaming platforms, this contract also includes an attached live streaming contract. You were with LGD last year, so you should know about this."

Chen Dongqing nodded. Last year, he also signed a live streaming contract with LGD, but at that time he was inexperienced and didn't succeed in live streaming.

Linko added, "The live streaming contract is also based on the standard revenue sharing ratio in the market; you can take a look for yourself."

"But you can rest assured about the live streaming contract. There are no requirements for popularity or gifts; you just need to stream for the full amount of time each month. Of course, it doesn't matter if you don't stream enough; you simply won't get paid for the live streaming, and there won't be any penalties. You don't have any objections to that, right?"

Chen Dongqing carefully reviewed both contracts. After ten minutes, once he confirmed that everything was correct, he finally nodded and said, "Then I'll sign them now."

Linko had been patiently waiting on the sidelines. When Chen Dongqing spoke, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes, it's up to you."

He quickly signed his name. With that, Chen Dongqing's transfer journey this year has finally come to an end.

...

After returning to the training room, Chen Dongqing sat down again in front of the computer where he had just been trying out for training.

According to the rules, this computer already belongs to him.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Dongqing logged into Steam on his computer and installed PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.

This thing is crucial.

However... Chen Dongqing was still thinking about how to explain to his teammates and coach when he was grinding for points in PUBG at high intensity...

Just then, Uzi turned his head and looked over. The chubby guy chuckled and said, "Dude, you like playing this game too?"

Chen Dongqing smiled and nodded: "It's alright, I just play around with it occasionally."

Uzi then asked, "Really? What's your K/D ratio?"

This game doesn't have a ranking system yet. To see if a player is skilled, you just look at their kill count and K/D ratio.

Chen Dongqing scratched his head. "I haven't actually seen it, so I don't know."

"Really?" Uzi chuckled, noticing this. "Let's play together sometime. I'll show you how."

In Uzi's view, those who are unwilling to mention their KD are mostly not very good.

This is quite normal, after all, they are professional LOL players, and their skill in PUBG is not that important.

Among professional League of Legends players, Uzi only knows that Godv is very good at PUBG and is currently close to the top level in China.

Chen Dongqing smiled and nodded, without filling the cup further.

Haha, if you actually see my KD, it'll scare you to death!

He may not have seen his K/D ratio, but he definitely knows it in his heart. Aside from those players using cheats, there are probably very few people in the world with a higher K/D ratio than him...

Soon, by the time the four contestants had taken turns going in to discuss their contracts, night had already fallen.

When Linko walked out of the office, Chen Dongqing could even see a hint of fatigue on his face.

"Okay, everything's all set." Linko finally said with a sigh of relief, "Now, sitting in the training room is QG's roster for Season 6. Everyone, get to know them quickly."

The people present exchanged glances and smiled merrily.

They spent the whole afternoon together and even played a few games together; they've actually known each other for a while.

"I'll add you guys to the QG training department's WeChat group later. If you need anything, just tell me on WeChat."

At this point, Linko searched his memory and said, "Well then, that's enough for today. Meeting adjourned. Oh, by the way, send your Weibo usernames to the group later; we'll need them for the official announcement."

With that, Manager Linko left the training room; he had other things to do.

He first had to notify the Weibo operations team to prepare the official announcement text, then submit the information of the four newcomers to the league for registration, then order the team uniforms for the four, and arrange for the photo shoot, etc.

As the founder and manager of QG Club, Linko has been working tirelessly.

The four newcomers didn't stay long either; after saying goodbye to the others in the training room, they left temporarily.

They have to go back and move their luggage over; tomorrow they will officially become part of QG.
