Neo Egoist League (ネオエゴイストリーグ Neo Egoisuto Rīgu?) is the final selection of the Blue Lock Project in preparation for the U-20 World Cup.
This selection began on March 10, 2019[1]
Description[]
Europe's Top 5 Leagues
After Blue Lock obtained victory in the Japan U-20 match that was viewed by Japan and the world at large, Jinpachi Ego was given complete reign over the Japan National Team and many interested investors came forward wishing to put their money on the Blue Lock Project and its potential. With complete control and more resources, Ego decided to not only further train his players in preparation for the World Cup but also make the training a massive entertainment project that would involve and be viewed by the world through the new streaming service called Blue Lock TV (BLTV).
Ego invited all Blue Lock players who made it to the Third Selection along with the regulars from the old Japan U-20 and made them decide on a country train in. So, the players could be able to combat "the world" in the upcoming World Cup, Ego decided to change the environment of Blue Lock so that it emulates the football scene in Europe's Top 5 Leagues, France, Germany, England, Italy and Spain. The players must decide on a country to train in based on preference and what they wish to gain out of the training. Ego reveals that no matter where they go, this selection will inevitably change all the player's lives, either for better or for worse.
When the players pick their country they will be separated into stratums based on that country and will get to train with the U-20 level players of the best club team in those respective countries and the master striker that reigns over that team and country. After initial training, a team of 11 made up of whoever gets picked as a regular by the master striker from the club team or Blue Lock will play in a Round Robin tournament that will pit Blue Lock rivals and world class players against each other in short but highly dynamic games. After the tourney is over, only the top Blue Lock players of the remaining 23 players will be picked as regulars for the reconstructed Japan U-20 team in the upcoming U-20 World Cup.
Only the players who can show "uniqueness" and bring value to a team that already stands at the peak of the football world will be chosen to play in the U-20 World Cup.
Blue Lock Auction[]
The Blue Lock Auction is the ranking system for individual players in the Neo Egoist League. Prior to this, the ranking of Blue Lock players was decided by a myriad of factors, such as their physical ability scores, their results, and Ego's personal bias. However, after the Blue Lock Eleven won against the Japan U-20 team, Blue Lock gained massive sponsorships from big football clubs, both locally and internationally, allowing them to employ a different form of ranking. Now the players are ranked not on the previous data or by Ego, but by their performance on the football field by the football clubs. This is shown by the highest bid, which are actual contract offers, that the clubs are willing to dish out for an individual, depending on what they see on Blue Lock TV. This means that the more a player is on the field, and the better their performance, the greater their bid. Furthermore, since the clubs are looking for more than just strikers, even players in other positions get decent bids. However, this also means that if they don't appear on the field and play, they will go unnoticed and not receive a bid. These bids can also decrease if they show a less than exemplary performance in later matches. While it is not exact, scoring a goal can bump a person's worth up by ¥30,000,000 to ¥50,000,000, while assists grant around ¥20,000,000. Incidentally, the top 21 bids will become the new U-20 team for Japan, with the top 11 becoming the starting lineup.
While the football players from the other clubs participating in the Neo Egoist League are not shown on the same board, they can be viewed and compared alongside other Blue Lock players. They too can get greater bids from other football clubs and choose to accept them and move too other clubs if they wish to.
