Moba: Peak Era

In his previous life, Chen Ziyou officially joined the youth training camp two years later... around the S7 period.

Before that, although he had the level to play professionally, both his studies and family hindered him from pursuing his dream.

He had to wait until he started his internship in his junior year before he had time to try out for the youth training camp.

At that time, he was already twenty years old, which was considered"relatively old" among e-sports players, that is, he was not famous.

Among professional players, his skills could only be described as"mediocre", and no one looked up to him at all.

Fortunately, he was lucky and was barely selected for a team in the LSPL A-League, but he was only a substitute player, earning a monthly salary of 3,000 to barely make ends meet.

When the main players had an emergency, he was responsible for going on the field to save the day and take the blame... He was not qualified to play in training games at all.

——This is the lowest level of professional players.

When his parents learned that he wanted to play e-sports, their first reaction was to oppose.

But under his persistence, their attitude finally softened and they acquiesced.

Chen Ziyou has seen many stubborn parents in the e-sports circle who are unwilling to let their children play professionally. There are many young people who have completely broken up with their parents and ran away from home in order to play professionally. In the end, they went to the club and even reported to the police station. The scene was very ugly.

His parents are considered to be more open-minded among the older generation. They can keep up with the times. They can use apps such as WeChat and Douyin, and they are quick to accept new things.

But Chen Ziyou knows that in his parents' hearts, they are still unwilling to see him go down this path.

Because... they can't see a future.

"Toot——"

At night, Chen Ziyou made a phone call back home

"Hello"

"Dad, it's me."

The familiar voice echoed in his ears. Chen Ziyou took a deep breath and said with a smile.

"What's wrong? Not enough living expenses again?"

"No, no, actually your son has made a lot of money recently."

"Is this true or false?" Father Chen was slightly startled, hesitated for a while, and asked quickly:"You haven't done anything illegal, right?"

"No, it's a legitimate industry. E-sports is very popular among young people recently. I'm good at playing games, so a club invited me to be a professional player."

After Chen Ziyou explained briefly, he didn't give his father time to think and continued,"The contract benefits are very good. I have signed it. I will get a signing bonus of 500,000 yuan in half a year, and a salary of 30,000 yuan per month. Dad, please send me your bank card number later and I will transfer the signing bonus to you. I have enough money."

"I have to obey the club's arrangement and go to training immediately. The penalty for breach of contract is more than 2 million. We can't afford it.……"

"……"

On the other end of the phone, after receiving so much information at once, Father Chen fell completely silent.

After a while, Father Chen slowly spoke:

"……OK, you go first. I will learn more about e-sports later."

"By the way, Dad, I will go through the formalities of taking a leave of absence from school later, and you just need to sign it."

""Okay."

After the call ended, Chen Ziyou breathed a sigh of relief, revealing a 'planned' expression.

Why did he sign the contract first?

Act first and ask for permission later.

The contract has been signed, so there is no room for regret.

The 'sky-high' price of 2.5 million liquidated damages is something Chen Ziyou's family can't afford... Of course, this is also because his parents don't know that Chen Ziyou has earned more than 20 million from outside jobs.

And the 500,000 signing fee is to prove to his family that he has made achievements and that he has not been deceived...

Most parents, even if they don't understand the careers their children are passionate about, will not restrict them... But the premise of all this is that you have made achievements in the careers you are passionate about and let them see the future. Otherwise, your caring parents will sometimes force you to do things you don't like.

The key is grades... or in other words, money.

Economic rights are equal to autonomy.

Even in family relationships, money is an unavoidable topic.

The next day,

EDG's official Weibo account released a player photo.

A handsome young man wearing an EDG uniform crossed his arms and smiled confidently.

"Just today, another player joined the EDG family. He is the No. 1 lane king who topped the Korean server with an astonishing 81% win rate. He is extremely good at top lane carry heroes. Reaper#Chen Ziyou officially joined EDG and served as EDG's top laner. EDG.Reaper says hello to everyone."

The crowd quickly gathered under the Weibo.

In the S5 period, because of the excellent results, the piglets (EDG fans) dominated the entire e-sports circle.

There are quite a few male fans, and even more female fans.

The appearance of this young man made the Weibo ladies shine. This appearance is extremely outstanding in the e-sports circle. It feels like a little red in the green. It feels no different from those male gods in the entertainment industry. They can all go to shoot movies and TV series. Unexpectedly, he became a professional player.

"Wow, what kind of handsome guy is this?"

"Confirmed the eyes, met the right person"

"Although I want to ask what to do with my Tong Yang, but the little brother is innocent"

"Love it, I will be Reaper's only fan from now on"

"The name is also very nice. Is it derived from the line"青青子衿，悠悠我心" in the Book of Poetry?"

The focus of female fans is basically on appearance, and strength is secondary.

For professional players, female fans basically call them by their"names" to appear friendly.

Male fans are more crude, either using the player ID or playing memes.

"Oh shit, yesterday when Zzitai chatted privately with R God, there were rumors that he was going to join EDG, I didn’t expect it to be true?"

"You really dare to go to EDG... Top laner's grave EDG, do you understand?"

"Reaper is very strong, I am optimistic about him"

"No matter how strong they are, it depends on the degree of compatibility. EDG is not a core team no matter how you think about it."

"Hello everyone, it’s time for the silver and gold players to teach the club how to buy players."

All bloggers related to the e-sports circle have forwarded this news, causing an uproar on the entire Internet.

Many of Reaper's personal fans on the Internet are also discussing this matter.
