Chapter 520: The dream of the post-90s e-sports champion
When it comes to the most popular game today, it must be the PC e-sports game League of Legends.
After this game was produced by Riot Games, which was acquired by the Wang Group in 08, it set off a gaming craze in many countries.
In the following year, Xiao Ma took advantage of the opportunity and spent a lot of money to win the domestic agency rights of this game.
Once the server was launched, it completely occupied many Internet cafes next to the university town.
The Internet cafe business has ushered in its most glorious era because of this game.
Countless students skipped classes and fought in Runeterra day and night.
The influence of this game is growing day by day, with the number of online users exceeding the 300 million mark, establishing Penguin as the dominant player in the country.
But in international competitions, there has always been a lack of soil for survival.
Voices that computer games are destroying the younger generation are louder than ever. Due to secular perspectives, the domestic e-sports environment is very bad.
Young players dropped out of school to realize their dreams, but were brutally exploited by the club.
Moreover, the overall domestic players are more than a season behind foreign players. When the Dragon Kingdom team participated in the S2 All-Star Game, it was Long Han's first head-to-head confrontation.
There was no suspense in the game. What greeted the Dragon Kingdom team was a one-sided crushing.
The Dragon Kingdom team lost, and it was a disastrous defeat.
Young Ruofeng, Xiaoxiao, pdd, and Xiaoxiao realized for the first time the gap between them and the professional team of Han Country.
The opponent's tactical system, tactical execution, player coordination, strong personal ability and control of rhythm all completely defeated them.
Hanguo won the game 2-0.
Looking at the disappointed backs of the Dragon Kingdom players, an obsession took root in Wang Duoxin's mind.
There are tens of millions of League of Legends players in the Dragon Kingdom, but they lost to the Han Kingdom in playing games. Could it be that such a huge country can't choose five people?
He felt that he had an obligation to stand up and do something for Longguo Esports.
So after he got 1000 million, he issued a hero summons on Weibo.
Officially announced that he will spend hundreds of millions of dollars to build the strongest LoL team in the world.
I was asked by the game’s self-media whether it would be possible to introduce foreign aid with such abundant funds.
Wang Duoxin responded solemnly:
"The wdx team will not ask for any cold help. This team is born to withstand the cold!"
This sentence seems to let people see the scene of the Dragon Kingdom team being frustrated in front of the Han Kingdom team.
The Hanguo team has become an insurmountable mountain in front of the lpl division.
As a member of the first generation of cold resistance, pdd liked Wang Duoxin on Weibo.
He retired and left a message below:
"Mr. Wang, take Liu with you!"
……
With a lot of money, there must be brave men, and the wdx team has welcomed its first batch of coaches and players.
When they saw the salary contract given by Wang Duoxin, they were all very surprised.
"Mr. Wang, are you really not here to do charity?"
Because Wang Duoxin gave too much, especially in terms of the team's income sharing, it can be said that this is the most conscientious contract that the coach has ever seen in his career.
And after winning the international competition, members can also receive high additional bonuses.
pdd and the players were also a little at a loss as they thought they had gotten the wrong contract.
Instead, I haven't put pen to paper yet.
Facing the questions from the coaching staff and players, Wang Duoxin smiled and said:
"You will be the idols of the League of Legends in the future. If you are all struggling to survive, living on the line of food and clothing, how can you inspire the younger generations to join the e-sports career without any worries?"
"Besides, only by injecting strong capital operations can the e-sports industry of Dragon Country be revitalized. I will kill those clubs that eat people without spitting out their bones, and tell them that I, Mr. Wang, are here and their good days are over!"
"And I! I will bring in more team sponsors to make the team more professional, professional and commercial."
Wang Duoxin is not opposed to commercialization. This is a double-edged sword. If club owners cannot make money and players cannot make money, then the industry is destined to fail to develop.
Only when more capital joins can the entire industry be revitalized.
As for Wang Duoxin, it is better to say that he is a spoiler, but rather that he is the first to try something new.
And his move to pay high salaries to the coaching staff and players immediately aroused great controversy.
The biggest argument is that after paying players high salaries, will they still play games seriously when they have money and more business activities?
Many old club owners have begun to denounce the wdx team, feeling that they have broken the rules of the circle and are a complete spoiler.
The public is also talking a lot. Some support the e-sports club owner and feel that Wang Duoxin is breaking the rules of the industry by relying on his status as a rich second generation.
He joined in with enthusiasm and was destined to be less experienced than the veteran club players.
