You promised a top lane tutorial, but you're just using Worlds as material for your videos?

Chapter 37 Don't misunderstand, I love telling the truth!

"Um... are you the Camille that Meiko was matched with earlier?"

Abu began to suspect that the person on the other end of the phone might not be the person he was looking for.

"Yes, that's me!"

Abu breathed a slight sigh of relief when he heard an affirmative reply from the other end of the phone; at least he hadn't called the wrong person.

"Whether I'm looking for you or not has absolutely nothing to do with whether you can play with trees!"

After a pause, Abu continued, "Young man, perhaps you have some kind of prejudice against our EDG club?"

As soon as Abu finished speaking, the other end of the phone answered immediately.

"Huh? What prejudice could I possibly have against EDG club?"

"EDG is a four-time LPL champion, the king of domestic LPL matches!"

"By the way, I really don't know how to play the Tree skill!"

"Don't get me wrong, I like to tell the truth!"

After listening to the string of words, Abu almost couldn't keep up with the slightly illogical logic on the other end of the phone.

Why do I always feel like [TopKing] is being sarcastic when he talks?
But his tone was so sincere!

Could it be that I've really met a straightforward and innocent boy?
Forget it, why should I think about these things?
Abu shook his head, forcibly pulling his thoughts back from the distorted path.
He then said, "Let's not get sidetracked, let's get down to business. I came to see you, yes."

In a rental house.

Zhou Dian reached out and tapped on his phone screen, ending his brief voice call with EDG manager Abu, which lasted less than ten minutes.

Abu came to him because he was quite interested in him and wanted to recruit him into EDG.

After hearing Abu's purpose, Zhou Dian did not give a direct answer.

Instead, they first asked about the compensation and future career development.

Abu was somewhat surprised by Zhou Dian's understanding of professional League of Legends esports as revealed in his questions.

He originally thought that Zhou Dian was just an ordinary internet addict with a talent for gaming.

I didn't expect you to be so knowledgeable!

Knowing that Zhou Dian was not easily fooled, Abu told him his thoughts honestly.

Then, Zhou Dian rejected Abu.

Actually, the conditions Abramovich offered were quite reasonable.

He'll first go to EDG's youth training program. As for his salary, although it hasn't reached the LPL's minimum wage, it's still higher than many players in the secondary league.

If he performs well, he will have a chance to be promoted to the first team, and Abramovich has promised to give him a fair chance to compete.

Of course, all of this is contingent on passing the trial training first.

If you're willing, you can try out for EDG after the Chinese New Year, since they'll be on holiday soon.

If an ordinary internet addict were to offer these things, they would generally agree with Abti.

But Zhou Dian is not!

Initially, Zhou Dian didn't have much intention of playing professionally.

Gradually, the idea of ​​playing professionally began to resurface in Zhou Dian's mind.

Especially recently, while he's been playing on the Korean server, quite a few people have contacted him through the game. After learning that he's a solo player without a team, they immediately wanted to recruit him to play professionally.

Some of them are even LCK teams.

Of course, the LCK team members knew he wasn't Korean from the very first sentence, so there was no further conversation.

After all, LCK teams don't have the habit of using foreign players.

Aside from the Koreans, all the people who contacted him were from LSPL teams.

This was the first time an LPL club had contacted Abu about playing professionally. Ultimately, there were two main reasons why he rejected Abu's offer.

One issue is the management of EDG.

Currently, while EDG's level of professionalism cannot compare with LCK teams, it is definitely top-tier in the LPL.

Similarly, EDG's management of its players is absolutely the strictest in the LPL.

They even have a significant lead over other LPL clubs.

Zhou Dian is a rather easygoing person; he's naturally intolerant of strict control.

He prefers it a little loose; too tight isn't good!

Secondly, there's the issue of compensation.

Even if a youth training contract offers better benefits than all other contracts of the same type, it is still still a youth training contract.

Compared to the big contracts in top leagues, or even mid-level contracts, these are just "illegal" contracts!

If, as Abu says, he is given a fair chance to compete, Zhou Dian is confident that he can replace Mouse and become EDG's starting top laner.

At that time, as the starting top laner of a strong LPL team, Zhou Dian is actually receiving a "black contract" that could last for several years. Just thinking about it makes him feel like he's losing out!

Don't expect the club to give you a raise during your contract period after you perform well.

Capitalists aren't here to do charity; the club owner would love for you to have the lowest possible salary.

Who wouldn't want to earn more money playing professionally!

Zhou Dian is confident in his abilities, so he definitely won't accept this offer.

Those who play professionally, aren't they all doing it to make money!

Did the factory manager's annual marketing of his esports dream affect his ability to come back and continue earning a top salary after each disastrous defeat in the World Championship?
However, Zhou Dian thought again that as a random player who is only in the top 30 of the Korean server, he wouldn't be able to offer a high price no matter which club came!
Even with a high win rate, if the score isn't high enough, it's still not enough to win.

After all, the high-ranking players in the Korean server are all highly skilled, and win rates are not a reliable indicator of skill without actual score.

So, we still need to keep pushing for higher scores!

If you can reach the top rank in the Korean server, and then an esports club wants to scout you, they will naturally offer you a higher price.

Of course, it won't be too high.

No club will offer a high contract to a complete amateur player who hasn't proven themselves in professional competitions.

Unless there really is a club with that much money and no brains!
Of course, if he wants to reach the top of the Korean server, he still needs to improve his weekly ranking.

The most urgent task is to complete the "Blue Steel Shadow Teaching" course.

I glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of the screen; there were still two hours until midnight.

Zhou Dian plans to play a few more solo queue games to see if he can produce better content.

If not, tomorrow morning I'll use the footage from the game I just played against AJ to create a comprehensive and stunning Camille tutorial.

Zhou Dian was actually quite satisfied with the Camille footage against AJ.

Next, Zhou Dian played three consecutive solo queue games, only managing to get Camille in one game, and his opponent wasn't a particularly skilled player, so he didn't make many impressive plays.

In that case, the final materials for the Camille tutorial video were determined.

It was the game where I faced off against AJ Jax!
After three games, Zhou Dian achieved a three-game winning streak.

After this three-game winning streak, [TopKing] is almost at 600 points in the Korean server Challenger tier.

It was past midnight, and Zhou Dian was getting ready to go to sleep.

Before shutting down his computer, Zhou Dian glanced at the current rank leaderboard on the Korean server.

Cuzz remains the number one player in the Korean server.

This kid already has over 800 points, and he's heading towards 900!
The ranking up is too fast, it's not easy to catch up!
