Friday, October 28th.
dge club meeting room.
Managers from various clubs gathered together and chatted while drinking tea.
It has been a while since these clubs moved to Jingzhou. After the GoG Global Invitational Tournament, the days of each club can be said to be leisurely and a little boring.
Although the various clubs are still playing training matches as usual, without official matches, the effectiveness of the training matches will definitely be greatly reduced.
On the contrary, the muscles of the team members have been growing steadily.
The version of gog is not updated very quickly, so the teams do not need to be too anxious to adapt to the new version. Everyone is eagerly waiting for gog to officially launch the next phase of the plan.
Various clubs have speculated that GoG officials will probably launch a league model.
This is not difficult to guess. Although the e-sports industry still has many shortcomings in this aspect, some popular sports events have many rules that you can refer to and just copy them.
Moreover, it is also easy to set up a domestic league. The venue of the World Invitational Tournament can be directly used as the venue for the league. All clubs gather in Jingzhou and can start playing immediately after arranging the schedule.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like President Pei has prepared it in advance. No other competition area has such unique conditions.
And this time Zhang Yuan invited everyone over, probably because of league matters.
This is why the managers of various clubs vaguely want to follow Zhang Yuan's lead, because everyone knows that Mr. Zhang is not only the manager of the dge club, he is also the person who can directly talk to Mr. Pei. If it really happens in the future, If there is going to be a gog league, Mr. Zhang must be one of the people in charge.
Therefore, after Zhang Yuan notified each club today, the managers of these clubs came over immediately.
After arriving, I discovered that Mr. Pei was actually there, sitting quietly aside without saying a word.
This confirms to everyone that what we are going to talk about today is extraordinary.
Zhang Yuan distributed the new regulations in his hand to each club in turn, then went straight to the point and stated all the requirements put forward by President Pei.
"Next, we will start planning for GoG's domestic league, also known as GPL. Everyone present has contributed to the development of GoG's professional circle. They are important participants in the first Global Invitational Tournament and have the strongest players in the country. There are a group of teams, so everyone has priority to join GPL."
"but……"
"If you want to join, you still need to accept some official supervision and terms."
"Tengda is already planning to establish an e-sports division to coordinate the healthy development of gog games and the entire e-sports circle. There are several requirements, and I hope everyone can cooperate."
The club managers all looked at the new regulations distributed by Zhang Yuan.
Manager Su from the h4 club looked at this page and frowned slightly, his expression getting uglier the more he looked at it.
The contents written above are relatively general and are not detailed into very detailed clauses, but each clause has some bad intentions:
Tenda established an e-sports division to conduct unified management of the GoG League and World Championship systems;
The E-Sports Business Department provides clubs and players with a unified standard contract, which only stipulates basic contents such as time, liquidated damages, transfer fees, salary, etc. Yin-Yang contracts and various other additional terms are strictly prohibited;
During the transfer period, the club and the players can contact each other freely, but they cannot sign private contracts. The e-sports department must organize the club to secretly shoot the players, and both parties must abide by their commitments;
When a dispute occurs, you must first seek mediation from Tenda officials, that is, the e-sports department.
If the above terms are not complied with, Tenda E-Sports Division can withdraw its GPL League qualifications at any time. The club whose qualifications have been revoked can transfer the GoG division to a third party, or transfer it to Tenda, and then the E-Sports Division will find a suitable candidate.
third party takeover.
Manager Su subconsciously looked at the others and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
In the eyes of these clubs, this request is a bit excessive!
Although Mr. Zhang was the one to follow the lead before, the premise is that Mr. Zhang does not infringe on our interests!
Since the emergence of the e-sports industry in China, until now, the relationship between most game manufacturers and clubs has been on a harmonious basis.
Most game manufacturers do not have the ability or leisure to carry out such management and requirements on clubs. Many game manufacturers even rely on major clubs to support them when hosting games, so they turn a blind eye to the private behavior of these clubs.
, the attitude of closing one eye.
In order to protect their own interests, major clubs will more or less perform some cunning operations.
In fact, this is also a problem left over from history. The current e-sports clubs are basically established by a group of rich people playing for tickets, and more than half of them are backed by one or two rich second generations. All aspects of management are very informal. Of course, in
From their point of view, there is no need to be too formal.
It's just for fun anyway, so why spend so much effort?
Many clubs are afraid of being poached by other clubs and poaching the entire team, so they have to sign some harsh terms with new players similar to "sell-out contracts".
In other words, whether they have been cheated by players or other clubs in the past, they have become overly cautious, and then in order not to suffer losses, they have passed on this risk to more new players.
The club feels that this is safeguarding its legitimate rights and interests.
Now, Mr. Pei's request is obviously "infringement of their legitimate rights and interests" because the set of rules they set before are completely invalid.
Manager Su pursed his lips, but after thinking about it, he remained silent.
He knew that more than half of the clubs present would have objections to these terms, and there was no need for him to be the first to speak.
There was a brief silence in the conference room.
Manager Li of the SUG Club couldn't hold it any longer at first. He cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Zhang, there are some clauses here that don't seem very appropriate, right?"
"Tengda has established an e-sports division to manage e-sports competitions in a unified manner. This is of course a good thing, and we all support it with both hands."
"But... is a standard contract necessary? When each club negotiates with players, the conditions given are different. How can a standard contract cover all possible situations?"
"I think that regarding transfers, we just need to let the clubs and players contact each other and sign contracts. To put it bluntly, this is a legal issue. It is a bit of a waste for the officials to spend their energy on this aspect."
"Moreover, this e-sports industry is maintained by all clubs. We should seek common ground while reserving differences. Tenda has Tenda's rules, and our club also has our own business habits. Isn't it good for everyone to respect each other?"
"Everyone here is complimenting Tengda. Isn't it a little less humane to kick him when he wants to?"
"So, I think this regulation can be reconsidered and considered carefully. What do you think?"
After Manager Li finished speaking, he looked at the other club managers.
"Yes, what Manager Li said makes sense!"
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, this is a bit of a fuss. There is no need. Besides, there will definitely be many other problems when signing a standard contract, which will be more troublesome to solve. What's more, there is no such precedent in the domestic e-sports circle?"
"Mr. Zhang, everyone is very supportive of Mr. Pei, so we bought players and moved the branch to Jingzhou. If we don't accept these terms, we will be kicked out. Then who will dare to cooperate with Tenda in the future?"
ah?"
"Yes, we are one of the first clubs to support gog e-sports competitions. There is no credit but hard work..."
"It's not easy for clubs now. Most clubs are just burning money. We are also a vulnerable group. If there are no additional clauses, the rights of the players are guaranteed, but what about our rights?"
Many club managers have expressed similar thoughts to Manager Li.
Obviously, it is impossible for them to accept the supervision of Tenda Esports Division without saying a word.
The managers of these e-sports clubs are all veterans and know the ropes very well.
The key is that even if they accept it, the owners of their own clubs will probably not accept it.
They dare not speak out clearly about the matter, but they can play the favor card and use both soft and hard tactics to create some pressure without revealing the matter.
Generally speaking, game manufacturers will give three points of support and will not make things difficult.
Manager Su said nothing and looked secretly at Mr. Pei, who was sitting aside and saying nothing.
He couldn't guess what kind of mentality Mr. Pei would have.
If it were someone else, they might smile at this time and reassure the club managers that this matter can be discussed slowly and in the long term.
But if it is Mr. Pei, it is not impossible to scold all these managers with a pale face. Mr. Pei is fully confident to do so.
After all, it is clearly stated in the few regulations issued by Zhang Yuan that if you don't agree, you can transfer the GPL admission qualification and even the entire GoG division to a third party.
This shows that Mr. Pei has a strong determination to promote this matter.
But things are not so absolute. After all, there is a plan for the worst case scenario, but it does not mean that it will be used. No matter how resolute Mr. Pei is, there must be a buffer, right?
Manager Su looked at Mr. Pei and found that the corners of Mr. Pei's mouth were slightly raised, as if with some... joy?
Can't?
Is this a reassuring smile or a sneer?
Manager Su suddenly felt that something was wrong. It did not develop as he expected at all, and he quickly swallowed the words on his lips.
Zhang Yuan sighed silently. As expected, these old foxes would not give in so easily.
They dare not slap the table directly to be tough, but they can play the emotional card and pretend to be pitiful.
There is a saying that goes "don't hit the smiling person". If these club managers dare to fall out, it will be easier to handle. I am afraid that they will keep pretending to be weak. If Tenda handles it too tough, some bad public opinion will arise.
, it also gives other clubs the impression that "Tengda is unreasonable", which will not be easy to handle.
Zhang Yuan subconsciously looked at Mr. Pei sitting aside.
It still depends on how Mr. Pei handles this critical moment.
