Introduction: The S15 season has officially started, and I believe the majority of players have been paying attention to the recent confrontations, with fierce competitions taking place in various leagues. The JDG team, being one of the most popular teams in the LPL region, has undergone some minor personnel adjustments this past month, resulting in overall performance that hasn't been particularly ideal, and they have gradually become a mid-tier team in the league. The recent change of their support player has sparked widespread discussion among players online. The former top laner, Ale, has now truly found success; in less than a month since leaving the team, his value has surged by 50 times, from 50 yuan as a top laner to 1500 yuan for coaching, even surpassing the prices of Shanks and others for an hour.

Ale's departure caused his value to soar by fifty times.

Most players are likely familiar with top laner Ale. Although his overall popularity and performance haven't been particularly high, his recognition is certainly notable, especially due to the incident with the RNG team. The management invited Ale to try out for the top lane position, but upon arriving at the RNG team base, he was handed 50 yuan to buy a drink and sent home without a tryout. Once this incident was exposed, it solidified his reputation, earning him the title of the "50 yuan top laner." Initially, he resisted this label, but he has now fully accepted it.

In recent years, as player rosters have changed, Ale's overall performance has seen some improvement. During his time with EDG, he achieved good results in the Play-In stage alongside AD carry Uzi, although they ultimately did not qualify for the World Championship. However, fans witnessed some of his skills, and even Uzi gave him a favorable evaluation, believing he deserved a place in the top lane. In this season's matches with JDG, his performance was fairly standard, with no particularly outstanding plays and minimal mistakes. Consequently, after the second segment concluded, JDG decisively chose to replace him, announcing his departure last month.

After leaving JDG, he did not join any other team. It seems he has chosen to take a break this season, interacting a lot with friends during this time, which has attracted some teasing from netizens. Recently, his good friend Doinb revealed during a livestream an unexpected piece of news: Ale's coaching fee has reached 1500 per hour, and demand is exceeding supply, with many clients eager to book him. Doinb couldn't understand why Ale's rates are even higher than those of Shanks and Hope. After leaving JDG, his value has skyrocketed by 50 times.

Honestly, this might just be the benefit of being an esports player. When Cube announced his departure, his coaching fees were likely quite high, but within six months, he was no longer in demand. He even issued an apology and returned to competition. Clients might just be looking for novelty; players who have recently left the professional scene still maintain a high level of competitive skill, and everyone wants to experience what it’s like to have an LPL teammate. Eventually, when the novelty wears off, the demand diminishes. Only a few players can consistently maintain high intensity, such as Faker, Uzi, and TheShy, while others may only manage to stay relevant for about six months.

Goodbye, they think.

Who would have thought that after leaving the professional stage, one's value could increase fiftyfold? Ale probably didn't expect his coaching fee to reach 1500 per hour. Now, he is different from the previous Cube; his focus is more on streaming and creating entertaining content, with coaching being just a side venture. If he can excel in entertainment, Ale's popularity should remain strong. Although it's said that the golden age of professional players streaming has passed, as long as you have good content, audiences will still enjoy it.

What do you think about this situation, dear viewers?
