Chapter 199: The hype of the head coach’s warm-up?
Gaining approval from elders, especially parents, may be a similarity that resonates with this group of e-sports players.
Regardless of income or fame, simple people want to prove themselves.
So after hearing that Xiang Tao's parents would come to the scene to cheer him up from the beginning of the qualifying round, several other team members were envious.
After all, parents who are open-minded and understand e-sports and support their entry into this industry are really rare!
Along the way, just because of this, everyone's conversations with Da'an had a lemony fermentation feeling.
694 is deeply touched by the inner thoughts of the players. He naturally envies Daan for having a pair of relatively open-minded parents. In the past, when professional players had not yet achieved results, they would not dare to expose their profession when they returned to their hometown. They were deeply afraid of being exposed. Neighbors commented in front of their parents that the so-called e-sports is just a little better than going to the stadium to drive screws.
“The salary seems high, but it’s just youth food.”
But all this seems to have changed after he turned into a coach. In a club that invested hundreds of millions, getting an assistant coaching job suddenly became a "serious job" in the eyes of his parents!
In the past, parents never disclosed their jobs to outsiders, but now they don't seem so embarrassed about their son becoming an assistant coach for a certain e-sports team when talking to others about their family's shortcomings.
"Come closer, let's take a photo of the expedition."
After packing up, the staff greeted the players at the gate to stand in line.
One of the commercialization of e-sports is the operation of the fan economy. It is a good thing for the club to properly communicate and interact with fans who follow the team.
For example, when they are about to board a plane from the club, it is just a matter of a few steps to take a photo and post it on their official blog.
If you want to make money in club management, you must have results, traffic, and attention. Needless to say, results. Traffic and attention are relatively mysterious things. Sometimes it is a certain traffic player, and sometimes it is a team with its own hot memes, such as UZI and LGD have different TES. Currently, most of the traffic is concentrated on him as the boss, so he has to take a little bit of a lot of things and transfer them to the team and the players.
Facing the camera, the contestants were squatting or standing. Lin Shuyang was on the right side of the team. Considering that he was not wearing a suit and did not need to be too serious, he pulled the heads of Garlic Bastard and Able when the camera was pressed. While showing off the evil Scissorhands, he also presented a special POSS that was enough to amuse the fans!
"Let's go!"
After taking the photos, retouching them and uploading them to the official blog, the club’s publicity staff member Lin Shuyang moved forward with his hand, gesturing for the players to board the base car.

"Wuhan - we are here!"
……
It only takes an hour or two to fly from Shanghai to Wuhan, and Lin Shuyang did not make any business class arrangements for the players.
Firstly, some high-profile flights can easily lead to unnecessary excitement without results. Secondly, most domestic flights are mostly economy class. It is a waste of time to wait for a business class flight for a very short journey. It is not his fault. It is practical to deduct the travel expenses of the players and take the time to arrange hotels and meals in Wuhan for the players.
Before they set off, two logistics staff from TES had already set off a day ahead of them to check on the team's food and accommodation and other issues.
Of course, considering the large number of people in the economy class, Lin Shuyang upgraded the players and purchased so-called "first class" seats in the first three rows. There is a curtain in the first three rows to separate them from the economy class, and the seats are also facing each other. It's much more spacious and won't make the flight too uncomfortable.
"If you need a blanket, let me know. There's no signal on the plane. You'll be there after a quick sleep." said the staff in charge of logistics.
Although it is summer now, the air conditioner is turned on on the plane in mid-air. If the players want to sleep, it is best to put up a blanket to avoid catching a cold.
"Brother Zhao, give me one!"
"I want it too."
Garlic Bastard was the first to ask for a portion. Last night he was tortured by the overly excited Daan and didn't sleep well, so he just caught up on some sleep on the plane.
BeryL waved his hand, "I don't need it." Before he got on the plane, he cached all the videos in advance. Two hours was just enough for him to watch them twice.
In last year's World Championship, Russia's ANX performed very well. GMB also had Ice Bird Poppy, and routines like Fire Man Steelmaking were waiting for them. As a team leader, it is always good to be more prepared.
Riot Games updated version 7.18 before the World Championships. Among the tactical routines arranged by Brother Yang, every one of them has very high requirements for his support position.
For example, changing positions from the bottom lane to the middle lane, how to cooperate with the jungle.
In team battles, the defensive AD becomes the jungler. When choosing Sion, how to ensure the vision to prevent the opponent from using the single lane to quickly increase the economy and level.
What the coach said during the pre-game mobilization is right. Only when you perform well can you achieve the treatment you want.
He desires results more than anyone else!
"NetEase games are too expensive. Itchy Rat has to arrange 648 every time a new style god comes out. It's a bit hard on the wallet."
……
It is different from players who sleep, practice more and watch videos.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Lin Shuyang was still struggling with the personal brand plan sent by his parent company before getting on the plane.
It has nothing to do with the team itself. It is a brand new cooperation between Taobao's parent company and itself.
"Go as far as possible in S7, and use the fist-arranged coaching list to find ways to further improve your personal reputation... If necessary, you can play one or two games, and use the hot topics of the head coach's warm-up to hype up."
Yes, the head coach warms up to the hype.
This is a proposal unknown to the players. The parent company wants to take advantage of the large traffic from the alliance next year and take the lead in starting brand operations around the team. Since there are no star players in the team, it proposed that it be the boss and coach. Finish.
It’s just that e-sports is still the main stage for the players competing on the stage. Considering this, the group of behind-the-scenes planners politely said that in this S7, he can play one or two games as a substitute player in the finals. field.
By the way, in the substitute quota reported by TES, 694 took into account the inexperience of the second team players and acted as an idea king to fill in the player ID that his head coach had registered in the LPL.
Putting the two together, we have the genius of the planning department of Taobo's parent company.
Of course, Riot Games has never actually banned team coaches from playing games as players. The reason why in the e-sports circle we rarely see head coaches coming on to warm up is more about role positioning and conflict of responsibilities, as well as personal abilities. Not enough.
In later generations of the Vietnam Division, fans who have become bosses often switch back and forth between the three roles of boss, coach, and even player.
"We still have to think long term. To start the hype, we can first ask a few bloggers or e-sports editors to post some vague speculations."
No matter where he sits and what he considers, he will consider everything that is beneficial to the club as long as it is suitable.
Come back to play professionally?
One fish and three meals.
If you have the ability, why not?
In terms of team peripheral brand operation, this must be done. This thing is cooperated with Taobo's parent company in his own name, and he can take the majority of the shares. Taobo's participation is more based on the added value brought by the team brand. He has no reason to refuse by extending his scope in the field of sporting goods.
When it comes to the team's performance in the World Championship, he can't let the small lose the big.
