In today's world of professional esports, there would be different pricing for players with different strengths. However, if one were to compare and measure based on position, then the highest price would undoubtedly be the mid laner.
For example, the three of the Four Emperors would be offered contracts starting from eight figures. Even the Seven Kings would be able to secure an eight-figure contract every few years.
Further down the ladder would be the top laner and ADC positions.
This was because of the so-called "top laner alliance" in the current game version. Professional players in the top laner position would often receive a higher contract price than ADC players. For example, in the LPL region, Tian Tian's contract price in KG could even catch up to Team God's "Star Emperor" Morning Star.
Further down the ladder would be the jungler.
However, this was not because the jungler position was less important than the top laner, mid laner, or ADC. The reason why junglers rarely received top-notch high-priced contracts was because there were too few top-notch players in this position.
However, every single one of them was a treasure that any club would fight over.
For example, SSK's Mafa's value was not much inferior to the current world's number one player, F- Han Shihao. Another example would be the Taiwanese Assassin's captain, Nian Thirteen, who also had a contract price that was comparable to the Four Emperors.
The LPL region was lacking in junglers.
It was not that there was a lack of ordinary experts. For example, players like Team Mingguang's Golden Flash or KG's main jungler, Old C, were not bad. However, when it came to junglers who were above the level of the Seven Kings, there was not a single one of them in the current national server.
That was why the team manager of the KG Club could not help but have this kind of calculative thought when he was watching the training match just now —
Indeed.
For example, he had seen the strength of the Spider Jungler under No. 5's control in this match. Not to mention the top professional junglers in the LPL region, even top junglers like Mafa or Nian Thirteen were slightly inferior to No. 5.
Wouldn't that mean that he was a jungler at the level of the Four Emperors?
If he could recruit a Yonko level jungler, what kind of scene would that be?
Thinking about it, Nian Thirteen was able to support the entire Assassin Squad and become one of the strongest teams in the world. Even the weakest team could easily reach the top four of the world finals if they had a jungler at the level of the Yonkō (Four Emperors).
However, KG's manager's greedy plan was mercilessly destroyed by the team leader in the next second.
You want to recruit the number five coach?
What a joke. Not to mention the fact that he had already retired and left the professional arena, the fact that he was willing to be a temporary external coach was already giving face to the president of the Shanghai Esports Association, Fang Hao. Even if he really had the intention, how much would he pay for the contract?
How much money would it take to invite such a legendary figure?
Seriously, if existences like number one and number five announced to the public that they wanted to return to the arena and fight again, the entire national server and even the entire professional esports circle would probably experience an unprecedented earthquake. At that time, the top clubs would definitely do everything in their power to recruit the two of them at all costs.
You're offering five million? Then I'm sorry, you'd better find a hole and crawl into it. How dare you offer five million?
Even ten million would be looked down upon.
Thinking about the contract value of the Yonkō (Four Emperors), with the strength and experience of these two legendary existences, their value was destined to be higher than that of the Yonkō (Four Emperors). Just like KG's team leader said, even if they threw in half of their entire club's assets, it might not have any effect.
Listening to the team leader's words, KG's team manager also sighed regretfully. Looking at the match that was still ongoing on the field, he sighed.
"When will the seedlings of this generation of our national server be able to produce a few real junglers …"
…
In reality, it was only because most of the people in the professional esports circle had entered the circle after Season S2 or even S3, that they would feel this way.
However, those who had been in the industry since the S1 season would know that there were indeed top-notch junglers who could hold their own in the national server back then.
That was …
An existence that was in no way inferior to the current world's two top junglers.
On the blue team's side, Li Shiyi held his breath in front of his computer screen. His gaze was extremely focused and cautious as it fell on the Widow Evelyn that he was controlling on the screen.
This time, he was controlling his Widow Maker to move closer to the top lane.
He was already certain that Kenan had set up a True Sight in the bushes at the mouth of the top lane. Therefore, if he wanted to gank the top lane, he had to choose to take a detour and go through the opponent's jungle.
The current tempo for the blue team was slightly slower than before, but if he wanted to truly see the light of victory in this match, he still had to carry a heavy burden as a jungler.
There weren't many good opportunities in the middle and bottom lanes, so this time, he set his sights on the top lane again.
On his team's side, Tian Tian's top lane was still stronger than Kenan's. It could even be said that in the first twenty minutes, the blue team had been more successful in suppressing Kenan's purple top lane. Their opponent, Heart of Fury, had never been able to truly develop.
This had to be maintained.
Li Shiyi knew very well that in the current situation, the purple team's only weakness was that they did not have a strong ability to initiate the first attack. They lacked a hero that could threaten the backline.
However, if Kenan was allowed to develop, he would pose a rather fatal threat to the blue team's backline.
Therefore …
Kenan had to die.
Li Shiyi controlled his Widow Evelyn to move through the opponent's purple team's upper jungle with extreme caution. Along the way, Li Shiyi's gaze kept switching back and forth between his first-person perspective and the minimap, confirming the current location of every opponent's purple team heroes.
Ice Bird was online.
Virtuoso, the ADC, and Blon, the support, were online as well.
On the top lane, Tian Tian's Sword Lady had begun to push forward. She was already prepared to cooperate with Li Shiyi when he crossed the tower later.
However, the next moment, Li Shiyi's eyelids twitched slightly.
There was still no sign of their opponent's purple team's jungler spiders in the blue team's field of vision.
This made him feel especially uneasy.
This was because he could not even determine the spiders' possible movements and positions at the moment. Although his Widow Evelyn was in Stealth mode with her passive skill, she could not help but feel uneasy, as if she was being spied on. It was as if her entire body was trembling.
However, when Li Shiyi looked at the top lane, he saw that Sword Lady, who was under Tian Tian's control, had successfully pushed a large wave of minions to the purple team's defense tower on the top lane. Li Shiyi clenched his teeth and collected his thoughts. He was prepared to force his way through this wave no matter what. As long as Kenan could not eat this large wave of minions, his speed of development would definitely be greatly delayed.
Therefore, Widow continued to move swiftly through the purple team's upper jungle.
She even cautiously avoided the triangular bushes at the mouth of the river.
From the wall on the other side of the purple Stone Men's jungle, Li Shiyi moved his mouse and clicked on the red Exploding Fruit. It bounced into the air and was about to fly over the wall.
However, just as Widow Evelyn, who was under his control, was about to land on the ground, a female system voice announced the kill from the middle lane.
"An-ally-has-been-slained (An ally hero has been slain)."
Li Shiyi's mind went blank for a moment.
