League: What? A bunch of old men can win a championship?

After dinner, Uzbekistan and Abu went to a small room for a deep conversation. When they came out, both of them had smiles on their faces.

"What do you mean?" Lu Yingdong stepped forward and asked, "Did you sign it?"

"Signed!" Uzi patted his chest. "From now on, we're teammates, Dong."

"OK, OK." Lu Yingdong patted his chest. "This year, I'll lead you to a championship, okay?"

Uzi ignored Lu Yingdong's nonsense and simply laughed, "But there's something I have to say. I have some things to take care of recently, so I won't be able to play for a while. I'll have to wait until after the New Year."

"After the New Year?" Lu Yingdong thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That doesn't matter."

The Spring Festival came early this year, and the LPL only had one week of matches before the Spring Festival, which means that Uzi will only miss one match.

Of course, there's the Demacia Cup before the Spring Split, but that would be a real challenge.

Abu followed from behind and said, "But since Uzi isn't here, we still need to think about who can cover for him."

Without a second thought, Lu Yingdong replied, "Who else could it be? Leave, of course. He's a good guy."

Both Leave and he were substitutes, and the two had interacted a little before. Moreover, their skills were indeed not bad, so Lu Yingdong did not mind speaking up for him and giving him a chance to perform.

"Leave?" Abu thought for a moment and said, "I feel like he's not mature enough yet..."

Leave's playstyle is similar to JackeyLove and Uzi; he is a player who is aggressive and willing to make bold moves.

However, it is clear that he still has some gaps compared to the latter two, as can be seen from the training matches in the past few days. Leave is not at an advantage when facing either of them.

"It doesn't matter, Leave is our own player, who else would we use if not him?" Lu Yingdong laughed. "I think Leave is pretty good. Let's give him a chance to practice in the Demacia Cup, he'll improve quickly."

"Alright, let's let him play then." Abu nodded. "He really should be given a chance; maybe another team will take notice of him... Oh, by the way, do you have time to participate in the Demacia Cup?"

The last question was for Lu Yingdong.

The Demacia Cup starts on December 14th, a week after the transfer window closes, providing the perfect stage for teams to hone their skills.

Of course, teams like EDG no longer care much about competitions of the scale of the Demacia Cup; they prefer to play whenever they feel like it.

"The Demacia Cup?" Lu Yingdong thought for a moment and immediately said, "Of course we'll participate! We have to give you all some reassurance."

According to the system rules, as long as it is an official competition, you will receive 50 points for winning.

The opponents in the Demacia Cup aren't that strong, so this is a great opportunity to rack up points!

"That's good." Abu nodded in satisfaction. "Then our training match is over for now. Go back and get some rest. See you in December."

"OK!"

With this, Lu Yingdong's trial period during the transfer window has come to an end.

Under his mediation, EDG's operational strategy underwent a complete 180-degree turn, resulting in a rather abstract, veteran-based lineup.

One can imagine the uproar that will occur when this lineup is announced.

The next day, Abu specially sent a car to take Lu Yingdong and the factory director to Hongqiao Airport.

The factory director and Lu Yingdong went back to their hometown in Wuhan together.

The difference is that Lu Yingdong won't be back for long, at most half a month before he has to come back to Shanghai to play in the Demacia Cup, while the factory manager, who is unemployed, plans to take a long vacation until after the Spring Festival.

When the two landed at Wuhan Tianhe Airport in the afternoon, the factory manager was still joking before they parted: "It's not easy to get a starting position, so go back to your room and practice hard, cherish this opportunity. If you have time, let's go out for a meal together."

"Don't worry, I'll definitely practice more than anyone else! As for meals, just call me, I'm always available."

"OK."

Lu Yingdong patted the factory manager on the shoulder, then got into the Didi car and headed south.

The one-hour drive passed in the blink of an eye. When Lu Yingdong got out of the car, the sun was already touching the horizon. The winter sunset in Jiangcheng did not have the fiery red glow of summer; it was silent and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

Lu Yingdong rubbed his slightly hungry stomach and strode into the residential area.

This is the old city of Wuhan, characterized by relatively few young people and a large number of elderly people.

Listening to the chatter of the elderly on both sides of the road and looking at the photinia on both sides of the road, Lu Yingdong's steps became lighter. He found the low building that he had been visiting for more than 20 years and quickly went up to the seventh floor.

Turning the key to unlock the double-locked door, a warm breeze wafted in. The house was dimly lit, and my mother was busy in the kitchen, where several delicious-looking dishes were already laid out on the table, steaming hot.

"You're back? Perfect timing!" Mom heard the noise, but without turning around, she said, "Dinner!"

Lu Yingdong didn't stand on ceremony. He threw his bag at the door of his room, washed his hands, and sat down at the dining table.

Mom had just finished serving the rice and placed it on both sides of the dining table; everything was ready.

Looking at her son's face, the mother asked, "Why are you back so quickly this time?"

Lu Yingdong smiled and said, "Once things are done, I'll definitely come right back. What's the point of staying there? Shanghai food isn't good."

After thinking for a moment, Mom said, "It's better to come back sooner... No need to waste time there. Everyone says esports is a young person's game, and you're definitely not getting any younger..."

Hearing his mother's words, Lu Yingdong was slightly taken aback.

Why is the wind direction wrong?

But he quickly came to understand.

After passing the trial, he didn't tell his mother, mainly because he was going back to Wuhan soon and wanted to wait until he saw her to surprise her.

But now it seems that Mom probably misunderstood.

"What are you thinking about?" Lu Yingdong said with a grin, "I didn't fail this time."

"Huh?" Mom was slightly taken aback, then immediately looked up at Lu Yingdong, her voice barely able to contain itself: "It worked?"

"That's right!" Lu Yingdong grinned, "I've already signed the contract, and I can start playing next month."

"Great! Great!" Lu Yingdong's happiness quickly reached his mother, bringing a smile to her face as well. "So... how much?"

"Six months, 225 million."

"Over two million?" Mom's voice rose a second. "That much...this six months is equivalent to what you earned in the past eight years, isn't it?"

That's just how this industry is.

"Great, great, great!" Mom's smile stretched almost to her ears. "Once we get these two million, it should be enough for you to buy a nice house."

Lu Yingdong smiled and said, "Why buy a house now? Prices are dropping right now, so let's not rush. Let me earn money for another two years, and then we'll buy something more expensive."

"good!"

The soft light illuminated the old house where they had lived for almost thirty years. Looking at her son, who was still relatively young, the mother felt that the future was full of hope.

...

The LPL winter transfer window will continue for the next few days.

Except for a few clubs and players who are still struggling and deliberating, most clubs and players have already formed their teams and assembled their new forces to compete in the S13 season.

Of course, the league strictly controls the speed of roster review. Even if there are no problems with the roster, they control the pace, keep the news tightly under wraps, and maintain a high level of attention during the transfer period.

Even though the transfer window is already halfway through, there are still no official announcements on the market. Only professional clowns like Han Yi are spreading rumors he's heard.

The transfer window news bombardment was started by the JDG team.

On November 26th, the 11th day of the transfer window, JDG's official Weibo account officially announced: Knight and Ruler have joined forces to fight for S13!

This news caused a huge uproar throughout the LPL!

There's a short storyline to follow, and once that's finished, I'll be going pro.
