After Gu Bai announced the rewards, he continued to ask Ah Bu.

"For the next two matches, which teams are we facing? Do we have a chance to win all and advance to the playoffs?"

Ah Bu paused upon hearing Gu Bai's question and said hesitantly, "Next week we have a match against VG. VG Team currently has only 2 points, with 2 wins and 14 losses, so it should be easy to win. However, the week after, we face IG.

IG has a strong momentum this year, taking the top of the East District with an overwhelming advantage of 15 wins and 1 loss, totaling 15 points. Although I have confidence in our WE players, I can't guarantee victory. But even if we lose, it's okay, because due to the league format, we are still firmly in first place."

Gu Bai is well aware of what kind of team IG was in 2018, with The Shy at top and Chicken God at mid enough to support the whole team. They also have jungler Ning, the bottom lane tower-bearing ADC Ah Shui, and support Bao Lan. Such a complete IG team earned the title of invincible in esports during the inaugural year for LPL in Incheon last lifetime.

Therefore, Gu Bai completely understands Ah Bu's lack of confidence in WE up against IG.

After all, if Gu Bai wasn't focused on an all-Chinese lineup, even with his good relationship with Principal Wang, he would have poached The Shy and Chicken God. Imagine if LPL had such a team: The Shy at top, Chicken God at mid, jungler Factory Director and peak mlxg, ADC UZI, and support Dog Concubine Xiaoming. This team would not only dominate LPL but also sweep the five major leagues like a king, undoubtedly, especially since it's 2018 now, no longer the Goryeo-dominated seasons from S3 to S7.

Upon hearing Ah Bu's somewhat uncertain response, Gu Bai showed understanding.

"Just do your best, as I believe today League of Legends will be filled with WE's red flag everywhere. Minor setbacks are okay; what I want is for WE to return to the top of the throne and be admired by all!"

"Rest assured, Chairman Gu! We will do our utmost to strive for WE to enter the playoffs undefeated."

All the players also promised Gu Bai.

With a whole 10 million in cash before them, how could they not be excited?

Gu Bai also signaled them a smile. Suddenly, he saw several player documents on the table and asked in confusion: "What is this?"

"This is our WE's youth training player list. We plan to report it to the LPL event officials to apply for them to become LPL players. After all, our WE's substitute lineup has some shortcomings. A comprehensive club must address these weaknesses and not let unexpected situations affect our performance."

Upon hearing this, a sparkle flashed in Gu Bai's eyes.

This reminded him of the retired ADC player from the last lifetime, the number one Korea Server telescopic Jhin with a 100% win rate, Principal Wang.

He then asked with interest: "Are there any hard rank requirements for applying as an LPL player?"

Although curious why Gu Bai would ask this, Ah Bu straightforwardly explained: "There is indeed a hard standard. Currently, a Diamond 3 rank or above is required to apply. Once reaching this rank, along with the player's contract and authorization each club manager, it allows new player registrations.

However, each team has different player criteria, and our WE's youth training standard is at least the Peak of the Canyon King or a Korea Server King above 600 points."

Upon hearing the requirement of Diamond 3 level to apply, Gu Bai couldn't help but frown and ask: "What if I don't have Diamond 3 but get boosted to Diamond 3?"

Ah Bu seemed to vaguely guess his boss's intentions, cold sweat instantly dripping down his spine.

"The LPL officials do not check player's skill level; it's checked by the individual teams. The officials only require the player's game account to reach that position..."

"So you're saying boosting is okay then?"

"As long as it's not reported, theoretically, it's okay."

Thinking of this, Gu Bai directly pulled out his phone and dialed a number to Principal Wang.

A few seconds later, the call was answered, and Principal Wang's voice came through: "Why are you calling me?"

"Interested in playing professionally?"

"?"

Principal Wang thought Gu Bai was calling about urging him on Panda TV's development strategy but didn't expect his opening sentence to be a random "Interested in playing professionally?".

"Play what profession?"

"I'm at WE Club right now, and just learned the last match of the spring split is between your IG and my WE. So I'm asking if you're interested in playing professionally."

"Explain more clearly."

"It's like we each register as an LPL professional player identity and represent our respective teams in that final match, got it?"

Upon Gu Bai's words, Principal Wang hadn't responded yet, but several players who had played with Gu Bai before turned pale.

If Principal Wang registers as an LPL player, that's understandable since he has diamond-level skills. Though he can't compare to professional players, at least he won't be completely crushed. But Gu Bai...

He's someone who gets slaughtered even in silver games, and if he goes onto the professional stage, facing IG, wouldn't that be the biggest joke in the esports scene this year?

Upon hearing Gu Bai's words, Principal Wang couldn't help but laugh: "Gu Bai, are you stimulated by something? With your skill level, you want to enter the professional stage? Though I hope IG beats your WE, I don't want to win by such means, it would be accused of match-fixing."
