042: Schrödinger's Age Restriction Clause

In the taxi.

Gu Xing was sitting in the back row, watching Jack beside him tapping his phone frantically, "What are you doing?"

Yu Wenbo replied quickly, "Explain the situation to Lao Song and the others."

His relationship with the IG team members is pretty good, and the kid Youshen is usually very caring, but he was in a hurry when he left, and now he has to explain himself.

Gu Xing said smoothly, "Are you dizzy..."

Before he finished speaking, he shut his mouth abruptly.

He suddenly realized that this scene had happened before.

At that time, Gu Xingcai left the Greedy Sa base and wanted to leave a message for Dong Xiaosa, Lin Weixiang and others. His father advised him not to play with his mobile phone while in the car, which would make him dizzy.

Now the polarity has reversed, it's him persuading JakeyLove?

It's just that this identity doesn't seem right...

Yu Wenbo didn't know about this at all. After he finished everything, he raised his head and looked at the crowded road ahead, "Are we bound?"

"Go away, who wants to be bound to you?" Gu Xing quickly moved away from him, "Maybe I will join the first team as Dandy's substitute!"

"Pull him down," JakeyLove didn't believe it at all. "With Dandy here, do you still have a chance to play?"

The two chatted non-stop and returned to Longhu Haowang Mountain near Songjiang University Town after an hour and a half.

The community has access control, so before Gu Xing got off the bus, he sent a message to VG team leader Jin Wenhe, asking him to come out and pick him up.

But it wasn’t just Jin Wenhyuk who came to greet him.

There are two guardians beside him.

Manager Lu Wenjun and friend Ding Ran.

Lu Wenjun initially thought that only Gu Xing came back alone. When he saw the figure dragging a suitcase next to him, he fell into ecstasy!

"Well done!" He was even more excited than Ding Ran, and he came up and punched Gu Xing on the shoulder.

Witnessing JakeyLove carrying a suitcase and leaving in the afternoon, Lu Wenjun thought he was going to lose weight again during this transfer period, with a bunch of money in his hands and no place to spend it.

Unexpectedly, it took a turn of events!

He didn't even ask Yu Wenbo why he came back from the IG base. That didn't matter.

At this point, Lu Wenjun just wants to say to IG, thank you...

JakeyLove saw the facial expressions of VG management and could roughly guess what the other person was thinking, but he still said, "I have to go to EDG tomorrow to take a look. I haven't decided where to go yet."

"It's okay, it's okay," team leader Jin Wenhe answered with a happy face, "It's okay to stay in our base for a long time, there are plenty of empty rooms!"

Ding Ran took Gu Xing to ask about the trial training this afternoon.

"I won't say too much, but it's just random killing," Gu Xing rarely showed off, "Rookie is really strong, and IG's bottom lane is really bad."

"Their duo is really average," Lu Wenjun was happy and started talking more, "I heard that IG wants to buy Tabe during this transfer period, and I can look for support from the City Heroes Contest."

"Tabe?" When Gu Xing heard the name, his first reaction was S3's Annie support, who partnered with Uzi in the bottom lane to reach the World Championship finals.

Although they were severely suppressed by the short-lived Piglet and Fumanduo, their overall strength was not bad.

But that was back then.

No one knows how much oil Tabe still has.

"I'll tell my cousin and ask him to come over quickly." Ding Ran turned on his phone and started shaking people.

In order to find ways to retain Gu Xing and Yu Wenbo, Ding Jun thought deeply all night and fell asleep after sending them text messages in the early morning.

When I got up in the afternoon and arrived at the base, I felt a little uneasy when I saw the two of them leaving, so I simply went to inspect the Dota2 branch next door.

After receiving the message from his cousin, Ding Jun hurried back.

"Let's talk in the office. It's quiet there and no one will disturb them." The fair-skinned man smiled so hard when he saw Gu Xing and JakeyLove.

Arriving at the small cubicle on the first floor of the villa, Ding Jun got straight to the point, "I have already explained the general treatment conditions in this morning's message. If there are any other requirements, we can discuss them."

"...Can we really secure a spot in the secondary league?" Gu Xing made sure first.

"Of course," Ding Jun was a little surprised by the question raised by the two men, feeling that his money-making ability had been underestimated. "There are many teams in the secondary league that sell seats, and there are even those who specialize in power training. Every year they start training When the City Heroes Tournament starts, you can make a lot of money by selling your team spots once you enter the LSPL.”

"The current market price of the quota is about two million, which is not expensive. I still have connections. At most, if I add a little money, I can cut off the money from others."

When Ding Jun talked about this number, he emphasized an understatement.

Just kidding, when the ten members of Samsung came to China, he directly offered Dandy and Mata ten times the salary in 2014!

Even if the contract is bound to a live broadcast agreement, the live broadcast platform will help pay part of the money, but most of it still has to be paid by the club.

Two Korean players, coach Hongmi and a not-so-cheap death announcement cost more than 10 million.

In the end, we didn't even make it to the S5 World Championship, so that's a waste of time.

Last year, the results were not good, so he arranged for Lu Wenjun to find Easyhoon, which cost another several million a year.

In comparison, 200W is really not expensive.

When Gu Xing and JakeyLove heard this, they looked at each other.

"Don't worry about this problem," Ding Jun saw that the two of them seemed to have a psychological burden, and quickly explained, "If I can play in the LPL, then I will make a profit. The price of a top league spot will increase many times."

After all, a club cannot have two top league teams. If the two of them fight, he will have to sell them and get a lot of money.

"It's useless if you can't make it to the LPL. Just treat it as being for our second team." He was very free and easy.

VG must have a second team for youth training. It just so happens that there are currently no LSPL quotas. If you buy it, you can save the time to play in the City Hero Contest and up.

With this retreat guaranteed, Gu Xing and Yu Wenbo felt a lot more relaxed.

"Another issue is age..." JakeyLove pointed to himself, "If I want to play LPL in the summer, can I achieve it?"

He wanted to get a different answer from Ding Jun than Su Xiaoluo.

Ding Jun thought about this question when he wanted to compete for JakeyLove, and now he organized his words and answered, "Let me tell you about the age policy first. Did you know that only those over 17 years old can participate in the LPL? "

"Yes," Yu Wenbo nodded, "that's what other managers say."

He was born on November 18, 2000, at least that's what is written on his ID card. If according to the regulations, he can only participate in LPL after S7.

JakeyLove knows that his age advantage has increased his worth a lot, but he hates that he was born too late. He showed his talent early but was unable to make it to the LPL stage.

Gu Xing listened silently.

"This statement is both correct and incorrect." Ding Jun acted as the Riddler.

Fortunately, he didn't have any bad intentions. After appreciating the puzzled expression on the other person's face, he explained in detail, "You know Brother Shengqiang and Meiko, they both started playing LPL in the spring of 2015."

These two are currently star players of the Snakes and EDG, and are well-known in the League of Legends e-sports circle.

Gu Xing naturally understood.

"When are their birthdays?" Ding Jun didn't expect to get the exact date from the two of them. Except for members of his club, close friends and die-hard fans, he basically didn't know.

He directly announced the answer, "Both of them were born in 1998. Brother Shengqiang's birthday is August 28th, and Meiko's birthday is June 6th."

"In the spring of 2015, they were both 16 years old."

Yu Wenbo couldn't help but interject, "It was because there was no such age limit at that time..."

"Really?" Ding Jun smiled half-heartedly.

In Gu Xing's opinion, this expression was quite unworthy.

"You should also know Ou Cheng, a well-known ADC player in European and American circles." He continued to ask questions to guide the two of them to think.

Oucheng is the abbreviation of the nickname, and he himself is called European Gao Xuecheng.

Five characters is not enough, so the abbreviation is Ou Cheng.

The game ID used by Gao Xuecheng is Xiaoxiao, the top ADC of the older generation in China.

"I know, Oucheng Rekkles," Yu Wenbo replied matter-of-factly, "He was in the limelight in IPL5 at that time."

That was still 2012.

Gu Xing had never seen that event.

But he knows that there is a WE icon that comes with creating an account in the Chinese server client, because WE won the IPL5 championship.

"At that time, Xiaoxiao was WE's bottom lane ADC, and the bottom lane of the final opponent FNC was the talented boy Rekkles. This is also the origin of his nickname Ou Cheng," Ding Jun continued, "But after the end of IPL5, he did not He stayed in the team and went to the secondary league instead.”

"Ou Cheng didn't even participate in the 2013 Global Finals," Ding Jun finally said, "It wasn't that FNC kicked him, it was because he was not old enough."

"He was only 17 years old on September 20, 2013, and the World Championship had already begun, so he couldn't make it in time. Therefore, throughout the S3 season, Ou Chengdu worked hard in the secondary league without age restrictions."

He finally concluded, "The fact is that Riot has already announced the age restriction clause in 2013, and it applies to all competition regions around the world. StyleofMe, the substitute jungler of the Snakes, was banned from playing because he was not old enough when he was with Flash Wolves. Now he is LPL.”

"Ah?" Gu Xing frowned, "No...how old was Uzi when he played in the S3 World Championship?"

Ding Jun smiled and said, "Xiao Gu, you discovered your blind spot."

"Uzi was born on April 5, 1997." He found the information sheets of these players and handed them to them. "He was only 17 years old in mid-2014. He did not meet the age limit during the S3 World Championship. To be precise, he At the age of 16, he was already the runner-up in the global finals.”

"Not only him, Meiko was still one month away from turning 17 when she participated in the 2015 mid-season tournament."

Yu Wenbo was stunned.

He couldn't understand.

"To put it bluntly, this is Schrödinger's age restriction clause, and the LPL is extremely loose," Ding Jun said with a smile. "Whether you can play if you are not old enough depends entirely on how it works."

"Before the summer games, JakeyLove can submit a player registration application first, and then go directly to the first game..." He stated his plan.

"Try Riot's response first. If it doesn't work, then just take root in the LPL. If you ask to withdraw, then go to the LSPL. I will spend money to buy the spot first, and ensure that you, Wenbo, have games to play."

"At the latest, by the end of 2016, you will definitely be able to come to LPL."

Yu Wenbo's breathing became rapid involuntarily.

His face also turned red with excitement.

He didn't want to go to EDG for a trial. VG could offer a lot.

Gu Xing asked a question beside him, "If Jack can't play in LPL in the summer, won't our personnel change?"

"No," Ding Jun said firmly, "I will definitely make two plans in the summer, including Jack, you have to be mentally prepared in advance. If you can play in LPL, you will most likely be a rotation player. Of course, the rotation competitor is not Endless, but a stronger player."

Jack agreed straightforwardly this time, "If you are strong enough, then compete for the position, I have no objection."

If he can play in LPL this year, he will be very satisfied.

No matter what, going to the secondary league as a contemporary is better than following IG in the City Hero Championship!

"Ding Ran was right this afternoon. The team building ideas of the League of Legends division are really a bit problematic..." Ding Jun chuckled. Like the usual transfer period, he decided to spend a lot of money to buy players and compete in the World Championship again in the summer.

Unlike the previous waste of money, he firmly believed that the result this time would be different.

Gu Xing was confused listening to him, and didn't understand how Ding Ran, a gold player, could persuade the VG boss.
