When Lin Feng released the news of the e-sports Champions League, the eyes of the global e-sports game player Chinese mainland. After all, the current global "E-sports competitions" all adopt elimination competition system. It's really hard for players to travel all the way to foreign countries to participate in the competition. And bad luck, not to overcome the time difference, acclimatization and other issues will be eliminated, so that the contestants are very embarrassed and frustrated. And the bonus is always unsatisfactory, only a few people can get the bonus, and most of the other professional players have to rely on other work to support their "E-sports career".
Even if the top professional players who often reach the top four, finals and get stable bonus, the bonus they get is not completely satisfactory. After all, E-sports will be eliminated faster than any profession. The competition is too fierce, and there are many experts. You are the champion this month. Maybe when you go to another competition next month, you will be eliminated by an unknown player.
What's more, the income of "E-sports" professional players is totally unprotected. There is no tomorrow today, not to mention pension insurance and medical insurance. Once they have passed the best age of 16-25, and their reaction and agility begin to decline, these former top players can only look for other jobs. But 16-25 years old is the most important age in a person's growth. At this time, all the time will be spent on training the game and improving the competitive level of the game. Naturally, it will not be able to adapt to the strong competition of other social work. This is also the fundamental reason why the current "E-sports League" is in full swing, but people always doubt whether it can last.
Now the "E-sports Champions League" held by the "second world" is a league. There are fixed matches to play every week, and there are systematic training in the club. Besides the bonus, all the professional players of the club also have the basic salary, which makes all the "E-sports" professional players excited. If this "E-sports Champions League" can really be established, So there's no difference between the professional players of E-sports and the professional players.
After connecting these points, all the professional players who are now touring around the world every month and the e-sports enthusiasts who are aspiring to become professional players are paying close attention to the "E-sports development seminar summit" held by "the second world" to see how many clubs in China, the third world country, will respond to Lin Feng's call, How much salary will be set for each professional player.
For the first time, some company managers who are close to Lin Feng have come forward to respond.
Zong Qinghou, President of "Wahaha" group, immediately went to Shanghai and said frankly to reporters: "E-sports is a new profession. Although I don't play much, I know that" StarCraft "is very popular in South Korea. In South Korea, the market is worth seven billion dollars. More than 200 professional video game players are the core of the industry chain, which is worth billions or even tens of billions of dollars. Relying on them alone, they support 1496 game production enterprises, 46882 Internet cafes and other entertainment places, 10 game universities and research institutes, 6 cable TV and satellite broadcasting professional game channels and other surrounding industrial groups. China's market is bigger than that of South Korea. I believe it will have a better future. Therefore, our Wahaha Group will definitely set up an E-sports club. "
Li Zekai, President of PCCW, also flew to Shanghai. He told reporters frankly that I was born in it and I am not new to E-sports. I also love playing games such as "StarCraft" and "anti terrorist elite". Although my personal level is not good, I am very fond of E-sports and watch the rapid development of E-sports in South Korea, the West and other countries, I also hope to contribute to the e-sports of our country.
Later, Shi Yuzhu, President of giant group, also expressed his support for the e-sports Champions League, Ma Huateng, President of Tencent holdings, also expressed his support, and Ding Lei, President of Netease, also rushed to Shanghai to support the e-sports Champions League and discuss cooperation with Lin Feng.
With the high-profile statements of "Wahaha", "PCCW" and other companies, more and more domestic companies have expressed their support. No matter whether the final event can take shape or not, at least there is no harm in coming to participate. It's good to advertise and show your face.
More than 100 senior executives of domestic and foreign companies gathered in Shanghai, which is a brilliant star. At Shangri La Hotel, where people hold this "E-sports development seminar summit", if you see anyone, you may be the president or vice president of a famous company in China. The gathering of so many celebrities and dignitaries also makes this forum, which belongs to the game industry, well-known, with a large number of journalists.
After a few days, many reporters have come to the conclusion that if the participating companies unite, it will be enough to change the trend of China's economy and even the pattern of Asian financial circles. Unfortunately, the executives of these companies are all for a new game industry.
In order to make the summit more grand, authoritative and fair, Lin Feng also sent an invitation letter to the top professional players of global e-sports, welcoming them to discuss the future development of e-sports industry.
As Lin Feng is willing to pay for his air tickets and accommodation, the top E-sports professionals from all over the world are going to Shanghai one after another. This makes many E-sports players also feast their eyes.
"StarCraft" to South Korean players, this time to three top players“ NADA”、“Yellow”、“BoxeR”。
StarCraft's top player, Nada, known as "the world's fastest left hand" (commonly known as "milk big", real name Li Yunlie), won by strength without speculation and tact. In the "StarCraft" competition, his competition is full of King spirit, not only can he win, but also can win freely.
The most unforgettable battle in "StarCraft" is between him and "Slayers"_‘ "Boxer '". In a word, we can describe the sadness of "yellow". He Shengliang, who was born Yu, was born.
Slayers, the legend of starcraft_‘ Boxer '"(real name Lin yaohuan), a master of the T clan (Terran), changed the fate of Terran in StarCraft. At the same time, it turned the competition of StarCraft into an art, and made Starcraft have an extraordinary life beyond other games“ One person changes the world, "he deserves it.
"Anti terrorism elite" is dominated by Western players, and several famous teams - "SK", "ESU" and "gol" are invited here this time.
"SK" team, who has just won the championship of "CPL summer", has become the best CS team in the world, and its record has been stable. Before coming to Shanghai, it is worthy of the first place in the world. Its team lineup is also extremely luxurious, known as the "Real Madrid" in the e-sports world.
"ESU" veteran CS team, in the "SK" was born, has been the champion, but now it is "SK" to steal the light, but its strength and players, still make any CS team dare not underestimate.
"Gol" is also an old CS strong team, but unfortunately, the team members are often poached by other teams for various reasons, and now they have slipped from the camp of the top teams and become a first-class strong team.
Top players of games such as "empire age", "live football", "FIFA Football" and "Boxer king" have flocked to Shanghai, making this "E-sports future development summit" more brilliant.
After waiting for all the companies who are willing to form the club to gather with these top professional experts, Lin Feng, as the organizer, held the meeting.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I believe you should be very clear about the profits and prospects of the e-sports industry. But how to make it a fixed E-sports event like football and basketball, we need a good operation. Therefore, we need to sincerely pay for this industry, and let this emerging e-sports industry move towards normalization, scale and industrialization. " Lin Feng said.
The crowd nodded.
Then, the competition mode, competition scale, related investment, club benefit sharing, professional player's salary and bonus of the "E-sports Champions League" were discussed in detail.
As this time is related to the vital interests of the clubs and E-sports professionals, the atmosphere at the forum was extremely warm. Everyone held their own opinions and refused to give in easily. This lively scene, let a lot of originally just hold to come to see the mood of the company greatly moved, want to form a club one after another. However, in the face of the first hard rule made by Lin Feng - every club willing to join the "E-sports Champions League" must provide at least 30 million yuan deposit.
In the face of this regulation, many companies with weak financial resources were shocked. On the first day of the discussion, dozens of companies had no choice but to withdraw. In the face of this result, although Lin Feng felt sorry, he didn't care. How to ensure the long-term development of the "E-sports Champions League" if we can't even take out the deposit of 30 million yuan.
If these companies only join the "E-sports Champions League" to form a club with a temporary interest, if they withdraw their capital one after another due to poor performance and difficult to see huge profits in a short period of time, it will definitely be a fatal blow to the "E-sports Champions League".
In Lin Feng's opinion, a deposit of 30 million yuan is the minimum requirement. If not for the defiance of most companies attending the meeting, Lin Feng even wants to set it at 100 million yuan. Only in this way can we ensure the long-term development of "E-sports Champions League".
The next day, because it seemed that the prospect was not too optimistic, no benefits could be seen in the short term, and the state did not make a statement on it for the time being, more than ten companies withdrew.
One after another, the withdrawal of companies has worried all the e-sports fans who pay close attention to this issue. They are afraid that the "E-sports Champions League" plan will be stranded, which is a tragedy for all the e-sports players.
On the third day, several companies withdrew again. Many players who pay close attention to it every day are more and more worried. Fortunately, although more than half of the companies participating in the meeting dropped out in three days, several powerful companies, such as "Wahaha Group" and "PCCW" did not, which made everyone feel a little relieved.
On the fourth day, no company quit. That's half the heart of all eSports players.
On the fifth day, no company left. It's reassuring for all players.
Seven days later, the "E-sports future development summit" which took seven days and was discussed day and night finally ended. However, all the company representatives and professional players attending the summit were thinking deeply.
Is the negotiation a success or a failure—— All the reporters went forward to interview, but they were pushed off because it was not convenient for them to accept the interview for the time being. This makes many journalists even more itchy to know whether things have been successful or not. And all the e-sports players are worried.
"No results yet. After a three-day break, we will continue the meeting. " Facing the reporter, Lin Feng finally confided the truth.
All the players who like E-sports are worried.
At this time, Linfeng villa in Shanghai.
"Brother Lin, how about this" E-sports future development summit "‘ Can E-sports Champions League be held Li Zhiyou, who helps Lin Feng dress, asks.
"The trouble is bigger than the imagined trouble, which involves too much interest, and I hope it can be held as a long-term event, and it can always prosper. Therefore, the initial investment must be huge, and the return may not be immediately visible. That's where some companies are hesitant. " Lin Feng sighed.
Now there are only 23 companies left, but more than half of them hope that the initial investment will not be so huge. It's better to use a small amount of money first, and then add investment if it is feasible. This proposal is not bad, but it is too conservative. In addition, E-sports is an emerging industry in China, which is different from the support given by the Korean government. At present, there is no government support in China. If we want to do a good job in this market, we have to rely on our own and other people's early investment.
In the long run, this is definitely a very profitable industry. Unfortunately, many companies attending the meeting did not see this. Fortunately, to Lin Feng's satisfaction, several powerful companies such as "Wahaha Group", "Pacific Century Telecom" and "Tencent Holdings" are on their own side. Otherwise, this "seminar summit" may have ended long ago, and everyone will be scattered.
"Brother Lin, come on, I believe you will believe it." Li Zhiyou clenched his powder fist to cheer for Lin Feng.
Lin Feng smiles and pinches Li Zhiyou's lovely cheek.
Three days later, "E-sports seminar summit" was held again. After another week's discussion, we finally got the result( To be continued, if you want to know the future, please log in www.qidian.com , more chapters, support authors, support legitimate reading!)
