Chapter 81 The wind rises! ! (Eighth update! Please subscribe!)
The LSPL playoffs are over, and the news that ME successfully counterattacked and won the championship in two months has become the most talked about topic in the e-sports circle recently.
The focus of the topic basically revolves around ME's two potential assistants in the bottom lane, as well as the ME team's head coach, newborn.
On the 21st, the LPL promotion and relegation tournament started.
First, YM, who lost the LSPL finals, successfully met the old godfather who won the first round of relegation. The golden left hand of the number one player in the Korean server was defeated by Brick and Stone's Wei from the line to the team battle 360 degrees. All-round beating.
After a whole BO5, the domestic mid laner who had been promoted to the sky before was a veteran who was on the verge of retirement after being sprayed by a player. He was beaten until no one was found in the game.
For a time, LPL players ridiculed him wildly for saying that his rank was useless.
Three to zero!
3-0 in the LSPL finals, 3-0 in the promotion and relegation games, and two BO5 games. YM Glory became another big shock wave in the LPL division.
First in the regular season?
It's just more fun.
What surprised many players was SNG on the other side. In the battle with VG who was the S5 champion midfielder, they were hammered into the secondary league three to one.
When the news of VG's relegation came out, it immediately caused an uproar across the league.
From the LPL to the LCK, and then to the European and American big brothers, they are all the old people on the subway with their mobile phone faces.
What, the S5 champion midfielder, the team with the monkey and chicken combination is reduced to playing in the secondary league?
Teenagers have their own teenage madness, and the audience will hit a big wall, right?
Everyone knows Chinese characters, but when they are all put together, why do they feel so familiar and strange at the same time?
Two years after coming to the LPL, two people with championship skins actually led a team to dive into the LSPL in reverse. The emotionally complicated LPL players didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Hey, the LPL league is so competitive, right?
After VG was downgraded, the one who suffered the most damage was the boss Ding Jun. Economic losses are one thing, but the constant mental damage is a pain.
Crouching dragon and phoenix chicks are not scary, but what is scary is that there is a queue behind them.
What is the worth of VG's midfielder? If one person's annual salary is enough to buy a minor league team, it's more than enough.
However, the two Korean players bought with such huge sums of money suddenly wiped out the team's LPL quota.
Looking at the WE club next door, what kind of players are there in the second team ME? They are all newcomers from the youth training.
The oldest member of the team has only played in the minor league for one year.
Just such a team, they went all the way and successfully won the LSPL championship with a score of 3-0 in the semi-finals and finals, successfully advancing to the LPL.
There is no harm without comparison.
The LPL audience may not understand how to run a game, but VG fans saw this result and most netizens said that they also know a little bit about punching.
Kangba hot comment: SKT team’s only pension insurance sponsor!
In the past few days since VG was downgraded, I personally want to ask Boss Ding cheerfully when I see him.
"Old Ding, have you considered going to SKT to look for players recently? Don't be discouraged. You just went to LSPL. You can just come back in the summer split."
Well, if the road is widened, maybe all roads will lead to Rome.
Every time we encounter such a scene, our boss Ding will blush, stretch his neck and defend himself: "How can you insult someone's innocence out of thin air? Club signings always make mistakes, and I'm not the only one." The money I spent on buying Korean players was not too much, and the loss the club spent on the players cannot be considered a loss at all.”
"Mom, I will never buy from SKT again..." Ding Jun is really mute and unable to express his suffering.
Of course, in addition to the daily teasing of Boss Ding, the e-sports circle instantly became lively as the LPL promotion quotas were announced.
The first is the SNG team. Since it is a team invested by Suning, as soon as it was promoted to the LPL, the owner behind it naturally increased investment. When it was time to buy players, it was time to expand the management team. The expansion management team came up with a plan. The deputy looks like he is going to show off his talents in the LPL.
However, for a team like SNG that has its own ownership, everyone’s news attention is more incidental.
The center of the recent traffic whirlpool is undoubtedly the ME team.
There are two core things that people from all walks of life are paying attention to.
First, Riot does not allow the same club to own two teams in the same league.
Second, WE directly released news that it intends to transfer the ME team's quota to advance to the LPL. At the same time, ME team players will also be put on the trading market.
In this way, those big bosses who have been preparing to enter e-sports can’t wait to wave their money, hoping to buy a spot in the LPL league from WE as soon as possible.
……
This day.
WE E-Sports Club, a plain black Volkswagen parked at the team's gate.
"We're here, Mr. Fan!"
Wang Defa, with his signature tilted smile on his face, took three steps and two steps at a time and ran to the back seat of the car.
Bend down, protect your forehead, open the door, all in one go. Tsk, I am really a brick of a revolutionary comrade, I can move it wherever needed!
Although I don't understand why the company didn't go to Sunshine first - well, it should be the newborn to talk about cooperation now, but instead came to the WE Club, but as an outstanding employee of the year, all I should do at this time is be a good follower.
"Welcome, Mr. Fan. Mr. Pei and Manager Lin are currently discussing cooperation with several friends in the e-sports field. They specially asked me to come out to greet you." Mika's face was full of smiles.
Well, you must ensure service with a smile to the God of Wealth. This is an innate quality of all WE people.
He also doesn't think that he is losing his status as the general manager of a club by serving the second team manager. MIka never thinks that he is the other party's superior. A second team manager who has the ability to help the club earn a few small goals, and As a club manager who works in logistics services, everyone knows what is important and what is important.
Isn't it just picking someone up? What's the point? As long as Lao Lin needs it, it won't be a problem for me to drive him to and from get off work every day.
Fan Jun waved his hand, "It's okay. We arrived early. We don't have to wait for them to finish talking with their friends and businessmen first."
How many friends in the e-sports field?
Haha, who else could be there besides Weibo and JD.com?
My mother hates people who pick peaches on the way the most.
call! call!
Calm down, calm down!
As the executive director of Top Sports in the Magic City area, Fan Jun is very clear about the purpose of his coming here today. If there are no competitors, it doesn't matter if he waits for a while, but Weibo and JD.com, two companies next door, are obviously huge in size. Even bigger companies are making the same preparations as them, and even if they want to sneak away, he will have to wait for the protagonist today even if he waits until night.
As a sports retailer, Taobao mainly works as a channel platform. It chose to enter e-sports because it also wanted to establish a communication channel between the Taobo brand and young consumers. By investing in e-sports teams, more young users would know about their products. Brands use games to further expand their brand influence and attract more consumers.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Furthermore, investing in e-sports can incorporate more youthful elements into the brand. After all, the audience for games is mostly a young group of men, who have strong spending power and willingness to consume. The fan effect can make teams and brands more tightly bound. In this way, if you want to establish a link with the young market, the e-sports industry is a very good entry point.
Originally, this group of people believed in a solid club and smooth competitive events. They planned to build an e-sports club first and then slowly step into this field step by step.
It's just that the influence of League of Legends in recent years has obviously exceeded their expectations. If they wait any longer, let alone eating meat, if they take a step slower, they may even have their bowls licked clean by others. This is why in the company, After the e-sports project was established and unanimously approved, I couldn’t wait to find the reason for WE.
"Competition?"
"People die for wealth and birds die for food. I don't believe the conditions they offer are as good as ours."
Following MIka to the living room, Fan Jun slowly calmed down after drinking a cup of tea.
What’s wrong with a large company? A large company does not mean a large company.
……
"How should I put it? After reading the conditions of several companies in succession, do you feel confident?"
In the room, Pei Le lit a cigarette, opened the window and mumbled, "Don't make a decision in a hurry. The people from Taobo Sports have arrived. You have two minutes to think and make a mental preset. Let's go to Taobo for details. Chat.”
"Tsk..."
Lin Shuyang had a headache, rubbed his brows vigorously and said: "These companies are changing the soup without changing the medicine. They basically want me to be a high-level worker. They also require absolute control of the shares and will not accept additional capital injections. Weibo and Although JD.com said it would give some share rewards, it was just a pie in the sky, and no one could predict the final situation.”
In the past few years of playing professionally, Lin Shuyang certainly has more than just this superficial wealth. After Sao Zhu retired, he was able to earn an entire YM team with the money he earned from live broadcasts. Although his focus is not on live broadcasts, the money he should earn is still there. No less points earned.
It's just that I usually put him in a position where money can make money and don't move him.
"These are all stupid ideas. If you don't give me the club's absolute right to speak, there is no need to continue talking."
Lin Shuyang actually has a very clear plan for the follow-up arrangements. Strictly speaking, it is to use WE's LPL quota to attract large investments sufficient to support the club's operations.
Then he will acquire a certain share of the club through technology investment and a part of the capital, and gain actual control over the club.
Obviously, the investment in Weibo and JD.com is large enough, but unfortunately, while the size is too large, it does not look down on all the three melons and two dates he has.
To put it simply, the two families have similar ideas. They both let themselves work for them, and there are huge benefits.
But if you want to become a team owner and let investors only retain more than 50% of the voting rights for the club, that is absolutely not possible!
(The protagonist’s idea of the club is roughly like this. The protagonist owns a small amount of shares in the club, but can guarantee absolute management rights to the club through special terms.)
"If you don't listen to my brother, you should stay in the club. I will give you part of the shares, and then we will discuss the operation of the club."
Pei Le once again increased his chips.
Unexpectedly, Lin Shuyang still shook his head, "Old Pei, you know that consultation means that it cannot be implemented absolutely. If it is not implemented absolutely, it is no different from absolutely not implementing it."
"Besides, WE's path has been set, and it's not suitable for people like me."
Negotiations are stuck at this point.
The two companies with generous conditions and a large amount of financial support for the club did not accept Lin Shuyang's proposal. However, only by ensuring that they have absolute control over the club can they better exert their influence, so he will never make concessions in this regard.
"Damn, if that doesn't work, I'll go to the LEC. There are many bosses there, and it has the advantage of not interfering with professionals managing the club."
After learning from the pain, Lin Shuyang made up his mind. If he couldn't reach an agreement with TES, he would just go to the LEC. Once he became famous, he would have the same effect if he came back.
"Ah, that's it?"
"I agree, why don't you agree? As long as the parent company can retain more than 50% of the voting rights, and the team name, logo and other elements of Taobo Sports are retained, we will be happy to hand over the club to a professional." Fan Jun was pleasantly surprised. road.
