Chapter 547 Brilliant Stars

After Lin Feng announced the news of the "E-Sports Champions League", the eyes of global e-Sports players have turned to mainland China. After all, the current global "e-Sports competitions" adopt a knockout system, and players have traveled thousands of miles to travel to foreign countries.

Participating in the competition was really tiring. Moreover, I was unlucky. Before I could overcome the jet lag, acclimatization and other problems, I was eliminated, which made the contestants very embarrassed and frustrated. Moreover, the prize money was always unsatisfactory, and only a few could win the prize.

Most other professional players must rely on other jobs to support their "e-sports career."

Even the best professional players who often reach the semi-finals and finals and receive stable bonuses are not completely satisfied with the bonuses they receive. After all, e-sports will be eliminated faster than any other profession, and the competition is too fierce.

There are endless masters. This month you are the champion. Maybe next month when you participate in another competition, you may be eliminated by an unknown player.

What's more, the income of professional "e-sports" players is completely unguaranteed. There is no tomorrow. As for pension insurance and medical insurance, not to mention, once the optimal age of 16-25 years old is passed, when the reaction and agility begin to decline,

These former top players can only find other jobs. However, the period between 16 and 25 is the most important age for a person's growth. At this time, all time is spent on training games and improving the competitive level of the game.

Naturally, it will not be able to adapt to the strong competition in other jobs in society. This is also the fundamental reason why the "e-sports league" is currently in full swing, but it is always doubted whether it can last.

Now the "E-Sports Champions League" held by the "Second World" is a league with fixed games to play every week and training in the club system. In addition to bonuses, professional players in all clubs also have a basic salary.

One thing makes all "e-sports" professional players excited. If this "e-sports championship league" can really be established, then there will be no difference between these e-sports professional players and those professional players.

After connecting these points, all professional players who are currently traveling to competitions in various countries every month, as well as e-sports enthusiasts who aspire to become professional players, are paying close attention to this "E-sports Development Seminar" held by "Second World"

"Let's see how many clubs in China, a third world country, will respond to Lin Feng's call and how high a salary they will set for each professional player.

Immediately, some company bosses who were close friends with Lin Feng stepped forward to respond.

Zong Qinghou, the president of "Wahaha" Group, immediately rushed to Shanghai and said frankly to reporters - "E-sports is an emerging profession. Although I don't usually play it, I also know that "StarCraft" is very popular in South Korea. In South Korea,

This market is worth US$7 billion. More than 200 professional e-sports players are the core of this industry chain worth billions or even tens of billions of US dollars. They alone support 1,496 game production companies.

There are 46,882 Internet cafes and other entertainment venues, 10 gaming universities and research institutes, 6 cable TV and satellite broadcasting professional gaming channels and other peripheral industry groups. China’s market is larger than South Korea’s, and I believe it will be more promising. Therefore, we’re Wahaha

'The group will definitely establish an e-sports club."

Li Zekai, the president of "yingke telecommunications", also flew to Shanghai and confessed to reporters - I was born in IT and am no stranger to e-sports. I also love to play games such as "StarCraft" and "Counter-Strike". Although I

My personal level is not very good, but I have a very good impression of e-sports. Watching the rapid development of e-sports in South Korea, the West and other countries, I also hope to contribute to the e-sports industry in our country.

Subsequently, "Giant Group" President Shi Yuzhu also expressed support for the "E-Sports Champions League", "Tencent Holdings" President Ma Huateng also expressed support, and "NetEase" President Ding Lei also rushed to Shanghai, firstly to support this "E-Sports Champions League", and secondly.

I want to discuss cooperation with Lin Feng.

With the high-profile statements of several companies such as "Wahaha" and "Yingke Telecom", more domestic companies have expressed their support. Regardless of whether this event can take shape in the end, there is no harm in at least participating, advertising and showing your face.

OK.

More than a hundred company executives from home and abroad gathered in Shanghai, which was a star-studded event. At the Shangri-La Hotel, where the "E-Sports Development Seminar" was held, if you saw anyone, you might be the president of a well-known domestic company, or

Vice President. The gathering of so many celebrities and dignitaries made this symposium and summit in the game industry well-known, and a large number of reporters gathered.

After spending several days on site, many reporters came to the conclusion that if the companies participating in the conference join forces, it will be enough to change the trend of China's economy and even change the pattern of Asia's financial world. Unfortunately, the CEOs of these companies are all working for an emerging game.

Industry comes.

In order to make this summit more grand, authoritative and fair, Lin Feng also sent invitations to the world's top professional e-sports players, welcoming them to discuss the future development of the e-sports industry.

With Lin Feng willing to pay for his air tickets and accommodation, top professional e-sports players from all over the world came to Shanghai one after another. This was a feast for the eyes of many players who love e-sports.

"StarCraft" is mainly played by Korean players, and this time three top players came. "nada" and "yellowww.piaotian.comada" (commonly known as "Big Nipple", real name Li Yunlie), do not speculate or take tricks, just rely on

The principle of winning by strength, in the "StarCraft" competition, his game exudes a kingly spirit, not only can he win, but he can win happily.

The popular prince of "StarCraft" is also the sad prince's "yellowww.piaotian.coms". There are countless seas of insects. The most unforgettable battle in "StarCraft" is between him and "slayers_'boxer'

" unfolds between. One sentence can describe the sadness of "yellow". If it is good, how can it be bright?

The legendary figure of "StarCraft" - "slayers_'boxer'" (real name Lin Yaohuan), a master of the T tribe (human race), changed the fate of the human race in "StarCraft" and at the same time made the competition of "StarCraft"

It has become an art, and it has also given "StarCraft" an extraordinary lifespan unmatched by other games. "One person changes the world," and he deserves the title.

"Counter-Strike" is mainly played by Western players, and several well-known teams were invited this time - "sk", "esu", and "gol".

The "sk" team has just won the "cpl-summer" championship and has become the best CS team in the world. Its record has remained stable. Before coming to Shanghai, it was the well-deserved number one in the world. Its team lineup is also extremely luxurious.

, known as the "Real Madrid" in the e-sports world.

"esu", a veteran CS team, has always been the champion before "sk" came out. Unfortunately, it has been eclipsed by "sk" now. However, its strength and players still make no CS team dare to underestimate it.

"gol" is also a veteran CS team, but unfortunately its members are often poached by other teams for various reasons. Now it has fallen from the top team and has become a first-class team.

Top players of "Age of Empires", "Pro Evolution Soccer", "FIFA", "King of Fighters" and other games have flocked to Shanghai, making this "E-Sports Future Development Seminar" even more star-studded.

After waiting for all the companies and top professional players who were willing to form a club to gather together, Lin Feng, as the organizer, held a meeting.

"Everyone, I believe that everyone 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 requires good operations. Therefore, we need to sincerely contribute to

The industry’s efforts will help this emerging e-sports industry move toward formalization, scale, and industrialization,” said Lin Feng.

Everyone nodded.

Afterwards, everyone had a detailed discussion on the competition method, competition scale, related investment, club profit sharing, professional players' salaries and bonuses of the "E-Sports Champions League".

Since this time is related to the vital interests of various clubs and professional e-sports players, the atmosphere at the symposium was extremely lively, with everyone insisting on their own opinions and unwilling to give in easily. This lively scene attracted many people who originally just came to take a look.

The companies were very interested and wanted to form clubs. However, they faced the first rigid rule set by Lin Feng - every club willing to join this "E-Sports Champions League" must put up a deposit of at least 30 million yuan.

Faced with this regulation, many companies that did not have strong financial resources were really shocked. After discussions with no results, dozens of companies had no choice but to withdraw on the first day. Faced with this result, although Lin Feng felt regretful, he did not

Care. If you can't even come up with a guarantee of 30 million, how can you ensure the long-term development of this "E-Sports Champions League".

If these companies join this "E-Sports Champions League" to form a club out of temporary interest, if they withdraw their investment due to poor performance and difficulty in seeing huge profit returns in a short period of time due to poor capital turnover, this will be a big blow to "

"Esports Champions League" is definitely a fatal blow.

A deposit of 30 million yuan is the minimum requirement in Lin Feng's opinion. If not for the resistance of most companies participating in this conference to this deposit, Lin Feng even wanted to set it at 100 million yuan. Only in this way can "e-sports" be guaranteed.

The long-term development of the Champions League.

The next day, because the prospects did not seem too optimistic and benefits would not be seen in the short term, and the country had not expressed its position for the time being, more than ten companies withdrew.

The successive withdrawals of companies have made all e-sports enthusiasts who are paying close attention to this matter worried, fearing that the "e-sports championship league" plan will be shelved. This would be a tragedy for all e-sports players.

On the third day, several companies once again withdrew. Many players who paid close attention to this matter every day became more and more worried. Fortunately, although more than half of the participating companies withdrew in three days, a few companies with strong financial positions, such as "Wahaha"

Group", "Yingke Telecom" and other companies did not withdraw, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

On the fourth day, no company finally quit. This made all e-sports players half relieved.

On the fifth day, no company quit. This completely reassured all players.

Seven days later, the "E-Sports Future Development Summit", which took seven days and was discussed day and night, finally came to an end, but all company representatives and participating professional players looked thoughtful.

Has the negotiation been completed or failed? - All reporters came forward for interviews, but they all declined on the grounds that it was temporarily inconvenient to be interviewed. This made many reporters even more anxious to know whether the matter was successful. And all electronic

Competitive players are also worried about this.

"There is no result yet. We will continue the meeting after three days of rest." Facing reporters, Lin Feng finally revealed the truth.

All players who love e-sports are worried.

At this time, Lin Feng Shanghai Villa.

"Brother Lin, how about this 'E-Sports Future Development Seminar'? Can the 'E-Sports Champions League' be held?" Li Zhiyou, who was helping Lin Feng dress, asked with concern.

“The trouble is more troublesome than imagined, and the interests involved are too great, and I hope to make it a long-lasting event that will continue to prosper. Therefore, the initial investment must be huge, and the returns may not be immediately apparent.

This is also where some companies hesitate." Lin Feng sighed slightly.

There are only 23 companies left, but more than half of them hope that the initial investment will not be so huge. It is best to use a small amount of money to try it first, and then invest more if it is feasible. This proposal is not bad, but it is too conservative.

Moreover, e-sports is an emerging industry in China. Unlike South Korea, which currently has strong government support, there is currently no strong government support in China. If you want to do well in this market, after all, you have to rely on the early investment of yourself and others.

In the long run, this is definitely a very profitable industry. Unfortunately, many companies participating in the conference cannot see this. Fortunately, Lin Feng is pleased that "Wahaha Group", "Yingke Telecom", "Tencent Holdings", etc.

Several wealthy and powerful companies are on their side, otherwise this "seminar summit" might have ended long ago and everyone would disperse.

"Brother Lin, come on, I believe you will believe it." Li Zhiyou clenched his fists and cheered Lin Feng up.

Lin Feng smiled and pinched Li Zhiyou's cute cheek.
