League of Legends: Reborn in Season 3, Tuning the Entire League

Chapter 53 Signing the Contract and Taking Official Photos
Lin Jingyi distributed the contracts to several people.

Song and Yuan were the most eager, turning directly to the second page.

[Party A (Club): NXG Esports Club]

[Party B (Contestant): ___________]

Game ID: ___________

【…】

After quickly skimming over the above content (since he wouldn't understand it anyway), Song Yuan went straight to the salary and benefits section.

"The base salary has increased from 1600 to 2800 yuan. The salary will be adjusted every season, and performance bonuses will be set up. There will be corresponding bonuses for different rankings in the league each season."

"The league champion receives 20,000 each, the runner-up..."

Jiang Ming did not offer high base salaries to his NXG players. In 13, the salaries of ordinary LPL players generally fluctuated between 2000 and 10000.

Top-tier players with built-in audiences, like Mingkai, can earn around 15,000 yuan at most.

The current contract with NXG is at best not the worst.

However, the calculation cannot be done that way. While Jiang Ming controls the base salary, he adds performance bonuses. In other words, as long as you can achieve good results in the NXG team, including the end-of-season bonus, your actual monthly salary is already at a mid-to-high level among league teams.

Not to mention the generous living conditions that NXG players enjoy.

For example, regarding the players' meals, many team members who lack sponsorship have to rely on instant noodles to survive when they are in financial difficulty.

As for accommodation, forget about it. The basement that Jiang Ming rented for NXG was considered one of the better ones. Dilapidated and small training places are the norm for esports teams, otherwise the term "internet cafe esports team" wouldn't exist.

The players just hope that the team can pay their salaries on time, which would be extremely fortunate, since countless teams disband midway through their careers in this era.

Some professional players who don't receive wages simply make a living by doing boosting services for others.

Therefore, the five members of NXG naturally had no complaints about their compensation.

"The team will arrange a live stream contract. If you stream under the team's name, you don't need to sign with any guild. The club will provide promotional resources, and the commission ratio will be 7:3, with the club taking 70% and you getting 30% of the net profit."

"If we arrange for you to do some live-streaming sales later, the club will also give you commission rewards based on the sales volume in your respective live-streaming rooms."

"The minimum contract term is two years, and the club has the right of first refusal to renew the contract."

For newcomers with no reputation, streaming for the team is more like a personal obligation they have to fulfill.

Normally, all that's needed is a fixed salary for the team members, but it's still the same as before.

You could do that, but it's unnecessary.

The same applies to the contract term.

Knowing the immense potential of the esports industry, Jiang Ming wouldn't limit himself to short-sighted gains. As long as NXG operates and develops within reasonable and compliant boundaries, its future is already bright.

It's dangerous to have the idea of ​​making a quick buck and running away. You have to understand that the traditions established at the beginning are very important for esports clubs.

Furthermore, with Jiang Ming's foresight, there's no need to worry about the club lacking talented players.

What he wants to build is a true esports powerhouse that any talented League of Legends player would consider as their first choice.

"The minimum is two years, so can you sign a three-year contract?" the jungler asked with a simple smile.

“It’s possible to sign a three-year contract at once, but I suggest you sign a two-year contract first.” Song Yuan blurted out, “Hey, Ming-ge, why?”

"Are you kidding me? You signed a two-year contract. If we can achieve results and gain fame like WE, our salaries will increase the fastest," Xu Jing complained. "After two years, you can still transfer."

"Ah, Ming-ge, I didn't mean I was going to run away."

"Hehe, that seems to make sense."

"Don't rush, there are still some terms you need to pay attention to."

After Jiang Ming finished playing the stern role, Lin Jingyi, who understood the implication, took over the conversation, "First, look at the third item on the third page. Every player must strictly complete and abide by the following obligations: daily training time ≥ 12 hours (including Rank score record verification), obey the team's tactical arrangements and personnel rotations, and all social media accounts must be reported to the club."

"Especially regarding social media accounts, during their active careers, players must report any updates they post on their social media accounts to their clubs."

"Article 4, Point 2, Regarding commercial activities, contestants must unconditionally cooperate with the commercial activities arranged by Party A (≥6 times per year). Personal business collaborations during their active period require Party A's approval, with a revenue sharing ratio of 7:3 (Party A receiving 70%)."

"Fifth Special Clause: Athletes shall comply with all image management and health management arrangements made by the club."

"Finally, there is the liability for breach of contract: if a player terminates the contract before its expiration, he/she will need to pay a penalty of 2XXXXX yuan. In addition, according to the non-compete agreement, he/she will not be allowed to join any of the top six teams in the LPL for one year."

Pang Ran and the others seemed to understand but not quite, but with their boss reminding them of the positive impression that the contract was signed annually, they didn't feel any resistance to such a rigid requirement.

Song Yuan's hands moved extremely fast. After signing his name on the contract in a flash, he took the inkpad from Lin Jingyi and added his thumbprint.

The other four followed suit, but due to age restrictions, they also needed a guardian's signature for the contract to officially take effect.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
With the contract basically settled, Jiang Ming clapped his hands lightly as a celebration for NXG signing its first batch of official members after entering the LPL.

"And next, there's this one."

Lin Jingyi pulled a box out from under the table. "Ta-da! Our team's first set of battle uniforms is finished. Come and try them on!"

The box cutter sliced ​​through the tape on the box, and the palm of my hand rubbed against the plastic bag containing the team uniforms, making a soft rustling sound. Five brand-new team uniforms were neatly arranged inside.

The black, white, and red colors are consistent with the exterior design of the team's base.

The back features the NXG logo, while the front and right shoulder display sponsor advertisements for YY and Youchen Pork Floss Cake.

Lin Jingyi lifted one of the sets.

"Holy crap, he's so handsome!" Top laner Song Yuan's authentic Sichuan-Chongqing accent boomed in the training room. He then eagerly stepped forward and took the team uniform from the manager.

With a hiss, it opened, and he quickly put on the coat.

Each team uniform consists of three pieces: a jacket, pants, and a long-sleeved T-shirt.

"Let's all change into them and see if they fit. If any don't, we'll change them immediately. We're going to take team photos next, and we can't be without the team uniforms."

Upon hearing this, everyone stopped hesitating and stepped forward to find the team jerseys with their own IDs printed on them.

Wearing their team uniforms, the five players with completely different body types standing in the room created a strange visual effect. The top laner, Song Yuan, was rather muscular, which contrasted sharply with the most slender support player, Pang Ran.

Top laners who build tanky items and supports who lack resources!
The jungler, Stone, is the tallest, which corresponds to the shortest mid laner on the team, A-Qiang.

"Hehe, look how it looks with the battle suit on, buddy. Doesn't it make me look even more handsome?"

Xu Jing, whose figure was the most average among the group and whose looks were decent, asked narcissistically.
