When asked if he would enter the entertainment industry at this golden age, Gao Ran also said:
"Indeed, there are many variety shows or TV programs looking for me now."
"I'm very happy that e-sports can gradually enter the public eye. Maybe ten or fifteen years ago, e-sports may have been something that was not a serious job in the eyes of the older generation."
"However, in recent years, e-sports has become a profession, and the e-sports academy has also made it more professional."
"I shouldn't be too involved in the entertainment industry for the time being."
"I am still at the peak of my career as an e-sports player, and I hope to further expand the influence of e-sports through my power..."
…
This interview also sparked a lot of discussion when it was released.
One of the most classic comments is:
"I always feel that Gao Ran is already a veteran of e-sports, but he is only 21 years old..."
This is indeed the case. Gao Ran became a professional player at the age of 16. He played for a few years and then suffered a serious injury. More than a year passed...
Looking at it now, I just turned 21 in January this year.
He is at the peak age of his entire career.
Although players at this age may not have as good instant reactions and physical functions as they did when they were 17 or 8 years old, they must be at an age that perfectly combines their mentality with their own skills and tactics.
In the professional arena, we often see an outstanding player shine when he debuts, then experience setbacks and growth, and finally rise again at his peak age.
Gao Ran is an outlier and has been shining since his debut.
One month is neither too long nor too short.
However, there is also a lot of big news in the CSGO professional circle! And it’s about Dream.
…
"CSC spends millions to poach Dream newcomers!"
"VNG Manager: Already in contact with Dream members"
…
There are several wealthy clubs in the industry who have taken a fancy to CSGO. You must know that although CSGO is not as popular in China as it is abroad.
But there are also a group of loyal fans.
These clubs that have been doing CSGO will definitely have some ideas when they see Dream catching up from the latecomers.
To be honest, any manager with any brains would not poach Dream's main players.
Because it doesn't mean much, although the annual salary of Dream's new members is not high, it is not a formal big contract.
But popularity, live broadcasts and even endorsements are all money. The Asian championship that Dream just won came with a tournament bonus of US$500,000, and each team member also received tens of thousands of US dollars in tournament bonuses.
This allows newcomers who entered the professional world with no money to become rich overnight.
Coupled with the high-quality treatment provided by Dream's rookie contract, they are now millionaires.
This is the fundamental reason why everyone is rushing to Dream.
Why is it that Dream's main players don't have a bright future and go to other clubs to make small profits? There is no need at all.
Moreover, once there is news that the main players of Dream are leaving Dream for money, their reputation will probably be lost...
He will be turned into ashes by his enthusiastic fans.
So the clubs in the circle are targeting three people.
Yang Wen, Cao Fei and Ye Rong.
These three young people who performed outstandingly before the end of the season, and as Dream substitutes, should not have many opportunities to play.
Cao Fei's opinion is relatively clear.
Gao Ran has talked with him before. With his ability, it shouldn't be a problem to take up a main command position in other clubs.
By bringing these young people up, Gao Ran definitely hopes that they will have a better future. For these young people, only by playing can they grow.
Ye Rong's own opinion is also very clear. He wants to stay at Dream because there are still many areas where he can improve.
He is only 16 years old and can continue to study with Gao Ran by his side.
There is even a chance to fight in Dream.
But his parents hope that he can get this huge signing fee. An ordinary family will inevitably be moved when seeing such a large amount of money, and even want to help Ye Rong sign the contract on his behalf.
Gao Ran helped resolve this matter and gave Ye Rong a formal contract in advance.
There was indeed a bit of helplessness in the process.
Not all parents are sensible.
In Gao Ran's opinion, Ye Rong is a child with great talent and a bright future.
I have to stay at Dream no matter what. Of course, this contract can only be kept confidential.
The one-year rookie contract has not passed yet, and Zhou Zijian and others will not sign a formal player contract until the end of next season.
…
The only one who was hesitating was Yang Wen.
No one in Yang Wen's position would be more decisive than him, not because of money, but because of the opportunity to play.
He plays the assault position, and in Dream's current team, he is competing for Tang Lingfeng's position.
There is no need to doubt his competitive spirit. No matter who the opponent is, he is confident that he can defeat his opponent and win the main position.
But he and Tang Lingfeng are also very good friends.
Even if he used the main force to pull down Tang Lingfeng, he probably wouldn't feel too good inside.
After hesitation, Yang Wen could only make a phone call to Gao Ran.
I would like to gain some advice and experience from Gao Ran, a senior e-sports player.
Gao Ran was deeply touched after hearing Yang Wen's confusion.
He doesn’t know how long he will play CSGO, maybe this year, maybe next year?
No one can tell clearly.
There are only a few main positions, and it is impossible for him to put any of the young players he admires into the main force. He can't do it...
Gao Ran also chatted a lot with Yang Wen.
I not only hope to stay in Dream, but also hope to get the opportunity to play games.
In the end, Yang Wen also made a decision under Gao Ran's suggestion.
He chose to transfer!
What he needs more now is the opportunity to play. As Gao Ran said, no matter where he is, he must chase the championship.
Besides, there will be transfer opportunities in the future.
As long as Yang Wen grows up in the professional arena and develops his worth, he will one day have the opportunity to return to Dream, the place where he was trained.
…
Before the start of the new season, three transfer announcements were also announced.
In addition to Cao Fei and Yang Wen, there is also a substitute player from Dream.
But at the same time, there are also two new members joining Dream, both of them are two newcomers who performed well in the new eight-school league that just ended.
Dream's staff strength has once again reached 10 people, and the new season's roster has been announced.
Looking at this roster of players, fans actually have an idea.
This list is actually a 5+1.
Last season's five main players plus a substitute, the 16-year-old genius Ye Rong, the other players probably don't have the ability to play the main team for the time being.
As for whether Ye Rong can fight the main force, it's hard to say.
It's possible in terms of ability, but it's a bit difficult in terms of location.
Ye Rong can play in any position, but he prefers the core position, but this position is usually high-burning.
