LOL: You have too many tags!

"Our lineup should... still be okay... right?"

Pei Le became less and less confident as he spoke, and his voice was barely audible by the end.

"Think about it carefully, League of Legends is not a one-person game!"

"After the LCK double champion mid laner returns, if the performance plummets because the other teammates can't keep up, what will the others say?"

Seeing that his ideas were effective, Sun Zheng immediately stepped up his efforts.

The more Pei Le listened, the more anxious he became. After all, these were problems they could not avoid.

Being poor is the biggest mistake!

"So what if Free is dismissed? You still have Left Hand. You can't let one of them be a substitute, right?"

Sun Zheng choked for a moment, then hesitantly said: "Well...if we can really buy it, we will naturally make other arrangements!"

"Arrangement?" This time it was Pei Le's turn to seize the opportunity and sneered, "What arrangements can there be? Isn't it just selling one?"

"I remember that Zuoshou signed a three-year contract with you, right? You can't let him sit on the bench when there's still a whole year left, right?"

Sun Zheng did not respond, but it was true.

Zuo Shou signed a three-year contract with them at the end of 18, which means he will not become a free agent until at least the end of the S11 season.

If they can really buy Li Dao, the best case scenario would be for the two of them to rotate on the court.

But once this kind of thing is discussed, it can be basically confirmed that it will not happen.

After all, one is the No. 1 mid laner of the new generation in LPL, and the other is a double-crown FMVP, the real No. 1 in the world. If they were to rotate, Li Dao would definitely not agree to sign the contract.

Besides, if there are players with full abilities in laning, team fighting, supporting, and commanding who don’t use it, their fans and spectators will call them fools.

"How about this, you transfer Left Hand's contract to WE next year, and I will help you persuade Free." Pei Le seized the opportunity and spoke.

"Can you persuade him?" Sun Zheng expressed doubt.

"He will still give me this little face." Pei Le said confidently.

Sun Zheng thought about it and did not agree immediately, but said that he would discuss it with others first.

But Pei Le knew very well that as long as the other party did not refuse immediately, the matter would almost be a done deal.

After all, Top Esports is well-known for not being short of money. Didn’t they spend a lot of money to buy players just for the championship?

Now there is a top player who has won two championships within two years of his debut. Not only does he have full personal strength, but he can also make up for the team's lack of command and BP. What reason is there to refuse?

Not only can we save a lot of money, but we can also get a top mid-lane player at the same time. Why not do it?
Of course, the most important thing is to persuade Li Dao.

Pei Le was not worried about this. After all, the condition Li Dao proposed to him at that time was to team up with A Shui.

Now that they have tried their best but still can't buy A Shui, if they let Li Dao go to Top Esports to be with A Shui, the other party will definitely agree.

Of course, Li Dao didn't know at this time that his perfect WE five-man team plan had disappeared...

……

"cheers!"

Inside a barbecue restaurant in Dobong District, Seoul, South Korea.

Li Dao and Jin Gong raised their glasses at the same time and clinked them with each other.

Of course, Keria's glass was filled with drinks because he was not yet of the drinking age allowed in Korea.

"Everyone, please eat more. It's our brother Free's treat today, so don't save any for him!"

imp holds his favorite beer and says “ton ton ton”, which means a big glass!

"This guy is being sought after by all teams now. His annual salary is so high that we don't have to save money on him."

Li Dao said while sweating, "I'm not worried about the money, I just hope you drink less."

"Hey, isn't this fun?"

Imp put a hand on Li Dao's shoulder and said with a smile: "After I won the championship, no one dared to control me! Even in LPL, no one said anything when I drank and smoked."

"You are the only one who dares to stop me from drinking!"

"Thanks……"

The last sentence was uttered by imp vaguely under the influence of alcohol.

Li Dao smiled, he knew how determined Imp was to quit drinking, the rice wine he brought with him before only helped relieve the pain, but the real responsibility still depended on himself.

It was because he was holding back his anger and always wanted to prove that he was still okay, so he was able to quit.

"I won't let you quit drinking today, just don't vomit."

"You underestimate my drinking capacity!"

Imp said this and took another big sip, but he didn't really continue drinking.

On the other side, Jin Gong took out his mobile phone proudly and clicked on one of the pages.

"I signed a contract with a certain fish yesterday. I will be live streaming there before I serve in the army. If you want to hang out with me, remember to come anytime!"

"That probably can only be done when I go off the air." Li Dao said helplessly.

Who made him sign with Mouya?
"Brother Gongzi, you can now live broadcast with Brother Pupu!" Keria suggested.

After they won the championship, a certain fish came to sign the contract with a sky-high price. The two of them agreed without much consideration. After all, they were different from Li Dao and didn't know what would happen in the future.

At first, Li Dao still wanted to persuade them, but after thinking about it, he realized that with their personalities, they would obviously not get involved in those things, and there would probably not be any problems, so he didn't say much.

“Who wants to broadcast with a rookie top laner?” imp said in a feigned dissatisfaction.

"I also don't want to be in the bottom lane where I need to teleport to protect it."

The two people pretended to be angry, but in fact the other three knew very well that when the contract was handed to them, they did not choose to agree directly, but signed the contract only after they were sure that someone would accompany them.

These two guys are tough on the outside but soft on the inside!

"By the way, Changxian, do you really want to stay?" Li Dao asked.

Pyosik nodded: "Although other teams have approached me and offered me a good annual salary, I don't want to leave just like that."

"I like DRX quite a bit. I joined here not only because of you, Free, but also because I liked this team."

This sentence was beyond Li Dao's expectation.

After all, it is really hard to believe that someone is willing to give up a price difference of several million just because of a liking for something!
"And I don't think the lineup for next year will be bad. I can prove myself well. If it weren't for you, Free, I would be able to stand on my own!"

"You have guts!" Li Dao praised. "But as someone who has been through this, I would say you still have to consider the reality."

"Of course, I'll reconsider after next year."

Seeing that General P had made up his mind, Li Dao naturally wouldn't say anything more.

As a senior, he would just advise the other party to consider his future.

Apart from this, you still need to walk your own path in life.

"Then we'll be rivals when we meet again!"

"Of course, if we meet in the finals, I will show no mercy!" Pyosik said confidently, "After all, I know your habits very well!"

"I won't show mercy either!" Keria laughed.

Several people raised their glasses again.

That's what farewell dinners are like. Sometimes you'll burst into tears, and sometimes everyone will feel relieved.

After all, everyone is making their own choices and pursuing their own future. It is a blessing to meet a group of like-minded friends in this process.

The past experiences can only be reminisced about. When they meet again on the field, Li Dao will definitely not show mercy.

Just like when facing your brother, sending him away completely is the greatest respect for him!

After dinner, everyone returned to the hotel in a daze.

After all, since he didn't choose to renew the contract, it wouldn't be appropriate for him to stay in the base any longer.

Even though no one from DRX said anything, Li Dao and his team still chose to rent a hotel.

Of course Pyosik returned to the base. After all, he is still a member of the team, and the only one at the moment.

……

A few days later, on the plane back to China, Li Dao slept all the way while listening to music with headphones on.

When he walked out of the airport gate, he saw that there were two people coming to greet him.

Of course he knew one of them, he was WE's boss Pei Le, and the other one was actually Guo Hao, whom he had met when he was staying at Top Esports before!

Why did these two people get together?
Li Dao was a little puzzled. Could it be that WE bought the opposing team's manager in order to strengthen the lineup?
Isn't this a bit exaggerated?
I’ve seen people buy players, but this is the first time I’ve seen people buy managers!

"Boss Pei."

Li Dao was the first to say hello, and Pei Le naturally said with a smile: "I'm glad you're back! I'm glad you're back!"

"Boss Pei, what are you doing..."

"It's okay, it's okay!" Pei Le said hurriedly, "You've had a hard time flying all the way. Let's not talk about work today. We've arranged a place for you to stay. After you've had a good rest, we can discuss the contract."

Li Dao nodded, but still felt a little strange.

After all, the other party had chased all the way to Top Esports’ base to negotiate a contract with me. Why is he not in a hurry to discuss it now that I’m back from DRX?

Could it be that the other party thought that his price was too high? Or that he couldn't buy Ah Shui, so he came to bargain?

Li Dao got into the car, but he was thinking in his heart.

In fact, he doesn't ask for much money. Compared with annual salary, he hopes to stand on the championship podium.

Therefore, if WE’s funds are indeed limited, they can consider lowering their annual salary as long as they can buy A Shui.

Of course, as a friend, he believed that A Shui's considerations were similar to his. If they could play together, it would be fine even if the price was lower.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to introduce you to it."

Pei Le suddenly remembered after he got into the car, and quickly pointed at Guo Hao who was standing beside him and said, "This is the general manager of the Top Esports Club, Guo Hao!"

"Yes, I have seen it!" Guo Hao said hurriedly.

"I would also like to thank Manager Guo for providing us with accommodation and training facilities." Li Dao quickly expressed his gratitude.

"It's just a piece of cake!" Guo Hao laughed immediately. "Besides, if I hadn't had that opportunity, how would I have had the chance to meet you?"
