Reborn in S14, crush the entire league!

Chen Xiao nodded: "Of course! Five hundred thousand! My monthly salary is only fifteen thousand now, when will I ever earn that much!"

The salaries of S14LDL players are generally between 8000 and 15000, with only a very few players earning more than 20,000.

It's basically better than a regular job, but only by a very limited margin.

This is partly due to the pitifully low level of attention and viewership of the secondary league.

Secondly, LPL's consecutive poor performances in the S-series in 22 and 23 led to a decline in viewership, causing many large investors to choose to withdraw.

In order to continue operating the league, all the major clubs have unanimously chosen to reduce the salaries of their reserve teams and non-star players.

Chen Xiao's salary in LDL was 15,000 yuan a month, which was quite good considering the club provided room and board.

But if you want to buy a house or a nice car, that will be a long way off.

So this 500,000 is definitely not a small amount for him now!

Seeing his excited expression, Ah Shui was a little puzzled: "So eager... you're going to send a red envelope to the influencer you like?"

Chen Xiao immediately glared at him: "Don't slander me. I'm not Xiao P. Besides, with my looks, why would I need to actively add people?"

After listening to his boasting, Ah Shui squinted and carefully examined Chen Xiao for a few moments.

Standing at 1.86 meters tall, with features somewhat resembling a young Louis Koo, and with skin that belies his professional athleticism...

"Okay, you win!" But Ah Shui then changed the subject: "But—"

"But what?"

"What's the use of being handsome? You still have to play well in the game! Back in the day, my buddy's headshot was played on a loop at the World Championship, and his popularity swept across the world!"

Ah Shui glanced at himself through the computer screen.

Hmm... Although she's a bit bulky, her heroic bearing is undeniable.

He was still six or seven points handsome back then!

Seeing Ah Shui's smug look, Chen Xiao fell silent.

That's absolutely right. The esports world isn't the entertainment industry; good looks are just a side effect, something that can only be added to the overall appeal.

Ultimately, gaining recognition from players and viewers depends on skill!

Otherwise, why did UZI, with his chubby appearance and irritable temper, gain so many fans back then?

Therefore, we should focus more on improving our skills!

Chen Xiao wiped his greasy hair, which hadn't been washed for two days, and continued playing ranked matches.

He has now reached 924 points in the King rank, less than 100 points away from the top ten in the Korean server.

With a little effort, we should be able to achieve it in the next couple of days!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao became excited.

The system reward is right in front of him, he needs to work even harder!

Just then, a WeChat notification sound suddenly rang.

Chen Xiao picked up his phone and glanced at it; a familiar Patrick Star avatar popped up.

[ZUIAN: Xiao Ge, you're amazing! You actually made it into the starting lineup!]

[ZUIAN: How do you feel about preparing to lane against top mid laners in the LPL?]

Seeing the familiar tone of voice, Chen Xiao smiled and started typing on his phone.

[Lucifer: Not bad, ready to give the LPL a youthful shock]

[ZUIAN: Still talking about a youth storm? Do you think you're in Dortmund?]

【…】

After a few lighthearted banter, Chen Xiao seemed to realize something.

During this period, Zui An and he had a good relationship.

They were the same age and entered the youth training program at the same time, but he was in the Top Esports youth training program while Zui'an was in the IG youth training program.

They also entered the LDL together and gradually built a deep friendship!

He was just luckier and got a starting position on the team earlier, even if it was only temporary.

ZUIAN spent most of his time in IG's second team. At that time, IG's starting top laner was "YSKM", who was regarded as the best rookie.

He didn't even get a chance to play!

He didn't get the chance to play in the LPL until he joined Top Esports in 26, and from then on, he was unstoppable!

After thinking for a moment, Chen Xiao sent another message.

[Lucifer: Don't rush, think it over a bit more. I've done the math, and you're destined for greatness later in life!]

[ZUIAN: Give me a break!]

【…】

After talking with Zui An, Chen Xiao's gaze involuntarily fell on 369—he and Zui An had quite a history.

369 just returned to Top Esports at the beginning of the year, which can be considered a triumphant homecoming.

He played exceptionally well during his years with JDG, dominating the LPL at one point, and even dominating Zeus in the World Championship in 22!

Unfortunately, the team's overall strength is still lacking, and they have been unable to break through to T1 year after year.

However, with age and coach Homme's guidance, 369's playing style is also changing rapidly.

The playstyle has shifted from primarily aggressive top laners in 22 to primarily tanky and other utility top laners.

This is also the origin of his "Goryeo Shield".

It's fair to say that 369's individual skill is among the best in the LPL top lane, as evidenced by his achievements and performance on the field.

However, his personality also has huge hidden dangers, making him prone to mental breakdown under high pressure.

For example, he was beaten so badly by TheShy in the early days that he had to see a psychologist, and after three consecutive losses in 26, he ran away as the captain, which led to Suga taking over.

Descriptions such as coward, deserter, and brainless have accompanied his career.

Moreover, the performance of 369 people this year is declining rapidly, and even the warriors are starting to have trouble understanding how to play!

Chen Xiao sighed, feeling an immense pressure on his shoulders!

I simply shook my head, stopped thinking nonsense, and focused on ranking up!

If someone is reborn and still complains about their teammates and wants to build a "super team," what's the difference between them and that second-best player in history who's addicted to forming super teams?

Ultimately, it all comes down to ability!

-

At four in the morning, when my head started to feel a little groggy, the last crucial ranked game finally ended!

Seeing the word "Victory" displayed on the screen, Chen Xiao breathed a long sigh of relief.

This ranked game that just ended was crucial; whether he wins or loses will determine whether he can enter the top ten in the Korean server!

Fortunately, he withstood the pressure, stabilized his development under the relentless bombardment of the opposing mid and jungle, and took over the game in the mid-to-late game.

However, the process was still quite thrilling; one mistake could have led to a complete collapse by the opponent!

"Hextech masteries are still too authoritative. My farming ability is probably now among the top tier in the LPL, right?"

Chen Xiao thought about the CS difference he had created with Xiaohu in the training match the day before yesterday and realized that his idea might still be a bit conservative!

After all, he has consistently maintained a high ranking in the Korean server, so his fundamental skills are definitely not a problem.

In addition, having been reborn back to the present, all of his physical functions have returned to their peak!

His reaction time and attention have been greatly improved, and he already has the potential to become a "numerical monster"!

"If you have one skill that is top-notch, then there is not much pressure in securing a starting position in the LPL."

But if you want to go further and become a top player, you still need to work hard!

Thinking of this, Chen Xiao quickly summoned the system!

With a Challenger rank of 1041, he has successfully entered the top ten in the Korean server and is eligible to participate in Hextech Rune draws.
