what the hell

Chapter 794 There is no intention to stay or stay, let the sky cloud and cloud
The language of official announcements has always been formal.

He used thousands of words to explain the necessity of the new regulations from various angles, and gave various examples, and also took the scientific name of 'Implementing the Financial Fairness System for Clubs and Players'.

In human terms...

Just three words: salary cap.

The fist company used very high-sounding words, saying that it is restricting the traditional giants from entering the field of e-sports, preventing 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 competition due to the rich or the poor. The industry chaos caused by the large gap makes the strength of the teams in the league relatively average.

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

It also emphasized that the salary cap is not intended to restrict players.

Because in addition to salary, the league will also increase players' income from endorsements, bonuses, live broadcasts, etc.

Added another sentence: For the e-sports industry, the salary cap system is undoubtedly beneficial to the industry, and financial fairness will be further improved. This will undoubtedly play a positive role in guiding the enthusiasm of players, and speeding up the flow of players will help The strength structure at the competition level is further diversified, and the viewing and competitiveness of the league are comprehensively enhanced.

The truth is very high.

But in fact, everyone knows that this is targeting a certain legendary top laner.

Just look at the pricing.

——The upper limit of the salary of the whole team (including a series of income such as signing fees and bonuses) cannot exceed 700 million US dollars, which is almost 5000 million US dollars in conversion.

It is equal to the bottom line worth of the legendary top laner.

to be honest.

If you want to be a legendary top laner, you need to use a newcomer with a monthly salary of [-] to [-] for other positions, or divide it from the salary of the legendary top laner.

And no matter how they are divided, it is impossible to organize a team that is above the first line.

In this regard.

Except for EDG, all clubs are applauding.

Players outside the LPL have fallen into celebration mode.

Especially Korean players feel that their biggest opponent has collapsed. As long as the LCK division works harder, it will definitely be able to restore the glory of dominating the world tournament back then.

"This regulation is actually a good thing."

Edzhu was silent for a moment, thinking a lot more clearly: "If we keep winning, we will destroy the League of Legends project. One team dominates the family, which is more than the LCK. As for who to keep...it doesn't matter. Anyway, we can't kick out all the players except Xing Dao, and bring four players from the second team or youth training to play."

"Indeed." Abu nodded.

There is another aspect that Ed Zhu did not mention.

That is, from the sponsor's point of view, unless Xing Dao can kill randomly with four second-team players, it is definitely better to get rid of the original champions other than the top laner.

Without keeping the championship foundation, the advertising revenue that EDG can negotiate will be much less.

Due to emotion, reason and profit, EDG couldn't afford a salary that would be enough to keep Xing Dao.

"Go and have a chat with Xing Dao, this rule is really... understandable, but it's too disgusting."

Edjue thought about it.

Still don't know how to speak up.

Go tell the biggest hero of the club that you are not as important as other players?

Said the club made more money without you?
It's true.

But I have no face to mention it!
Even if it is forced to this point by the salary cap system, EDG will inevitably bear the evaluation of killing donkeys and crossing rivers and bridges.

"All right……"

Abu has no face to mention.

But as a wage earner, I have no choice but to receive a task from my boss.

Go downstairs.

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

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

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

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

"Look, the defense tower is out of the coating, and it took off immediately after clearing the level 4 minutes ago!" Ah Shui thought of a trick: "My bomber is going to be invincible, dismantle it randomly!"

"The middle lane is also much more comfortable." Xiye added: "I may not be able to get much money, but with the plating, even if the opponent controls the vanguard, the middle tower is not easy to drop - I tested it just now, and the vanguard hit it I can’t drop two floors; I have also greatly strengthened the rock sparrow’s Q skill, clearing the line is much faster than before, and I should be able to enter the game.”

"Accessory eyes have been greatly cut, and the impact is more obvious. It used to be up to 180 seconds, but now it is 120 seconds." Meiko looked at it from his own point of view: "The auxiliary equipment has not changed, and other positions can no longer seamlessly control the field of vision. Grasp……"

"Not these." Abu said with difficulty: "I'm talking about the other announcement, which is... MD, what should I say!"

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha--"

"Hahahaha-"

"That's it."

"You guessed it, you guessed it!"

"..."

The EDG players burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at..."

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

"I saw it just now." The factory manager was embarrassed to continue teasing 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."

"Ah?!" Abu was so surprised that he could stuff a pear with his mouth open.

5000 million a year.

Even if some are distributed to teammates, it is more than 4000 million.

Say no to no more?
"It doesn't matter, as long as you have enough money."

Xing Dao smiled: "Besides, after tax deduction of [-] million yuan, there is not much left."

Monthly salary above 8W needs to pay 45% tax.

Actually got only a little more than half of it.

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

Because commercial endorsements are labor remuneration, they are taxed at 20%.

Although the live broadcast is deducted according to the ratio of 45%, there is a rigid competition between the platforms-the cake is so big, if you want to eat more, you have to grab it from other people, unlike professional clubs where there is a win-win situation where the tide rises and the boat rises , so the price given is much higher than the club salary.

According to the price discussed with Menghu TV manager before.

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

As for staying on the team as a substitute, the fact that he does not usually play is not only to give Riots face, to avoid further restrictions, but also to disgust the five-second real man Tryndamere and the big bald Ritz...

It can also scare other clubs.

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

"Okay!"

Abu was overjoyed: "That's great...let's not talk about it, this is the biggest enthusiasm until the end of the transfer period!"
