At the post -transfer period of Worlds 2023, Thery leaving Weibo Gaming (WBG) is probably the most popular drama deal at LPL. There were times when Therhy fans criticized WBG when they thought this team treated “Topgod” and forced him to take a break. The manager of the WBG then also made a move referring to Thery fans as “Zombie” to counterattack. The incident only really subsided when Thery himself reassured fans.
Theshy himself had to speak up to ease the wave of criticism from fans targeting WBG
The thought that everything was over, recently, the LPL area of the LPL area has noticeable revelations about this incident. Specifically, the WBG actually asked Theshy to receive a ceiling salary at LPL of 12 million yuan/year (about 41 billion VND). However, the trouble comes from the advertising contract and livestream of Theshy with a third party.
Trang Sohu revealed that the team who wants to own Thery must buy the player's advertising and livestream contract. With a great reputation in the LPL area, Theshy's contract has the equivalent value of the ceiling salary mentioned above. Moreover, if there is a team that actually buys Thery, they have to accept that he spends a lot of time livestreaming and running ads. That will affect the training schedule of the whole team and can lead to unpleasant competition results.
Trang Sohu revealed: “After calculating all the amounts, the value of Theshy is much greater than the number of 12 million yuan. Because no team can meet, Theshy chose to rest. Although he himself wants to play, it is impossible because the advertising contract is too big.”
Although Thery has accepted salaries, but because his advertising contract is too big, no team can meet. It is clear that the salary of about the top 2 players must be paid in exchange for the service of a Thery is a too risky investment. Therefore, the player was dubbed the “Topgod” once forced to announce the break in the spring.
Although Thery is a famous player, he is still considered a very risky deal for LPL teams
More significantly, Theshy's above advertising contract is still valid until the end of 2024. Therefore, if you want to own this player in the summer LPL 2024, the teams still have to spend extremely large amounts of money. This leads to “Topgod” in the face of continuing to take a break in the near future. At that time, Theshy would most likely have to retire early because no team wanted to risk the huge amount of money to bring a player for a long time and did not play professionally.
“The most scary thing here is that Thery is likely not to return in the summer period. At that time, his career would probably also come to an end.
If this actually happens, the LPL tournament will definitely suffer negative effects. It should be known that the lack of popular names such as Thery, Uzi … has made the number of Spring LPL viewers in 2024 not slightly reduced. This viewer index can even “plunge” even more strongly in the summer LPL 2024 if Thery quit playing.
The absence of famous stars like Thery, Uzi … has made the attractiveness of the Spring LPL 2024 significantly reduced
To be fair, Theshy is also considered the legend of the LPL area when it has won the LPL and World Championship. If “Topgod” once must retire in a “no trumpet” way like that, it is really a very unfortunate thing.
