Full-time master: a sword of wind and thunder

After Ling Yunxiao spoke, other members of the ancient team also accepted Chang Xian's interview.

Their experiences were similar to those of Ling Yunxiao. After hearing the personal experiences of the members of the ancient team, the students at the scene had a new understanding of the e-sports industry.

What they usually see is only hot news released by the news media, and the news reports are nothing more than which professional player signed a super contract with which team and how much annual salary, and how well that professional player performed on the field.In short, it is something that people yearn for and look forward to.

But behind these glamorous scenes, they have never heard of the unknown hardships and difficulties.

After interviewing several members of the ancient team, the host Chang Xian turned his head and asked Ye Xiu again: "God Ye, you are the oldest professional player in Glory. Your career has witnessed Glory from its initial appearance. It has developed step by step to the current scene. We are not professional players, and we can only know a little about the e-sports circle through media reports. Can you tell us what the e-sports professional circle really looks like?"

Hearing Chang Xian's question, Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment, because this paragraph was not included in the script they rehearsed.

But Ye Xiu quickly understood what Chang Xian wanted to ask, because Ling Yunxiao's personal experience was indeed tragic enough, but it was not particularly persuasive.Because the real cruelty is not those tragic experiences, but a numerical fact.

It's like saying, hold a competition, the person who wins the game can get a bonus of 100 million, but the person who loses will be in debt of 50.But if three people participate in the competition, then there will be a 33.3% success rate. With such a high success rate, it will make people feel that as long as they work hard, they may become winners instead of debtors.But if the number of participants is changed to 1, only one person can get 100 million, and all others will be in debt of 50.Then with such a winning rate of one in [-], no one would want to give it a try.This is the power of specific data!
Although the tragic script of Ling Yunxiao and the others is very contagious, there are only eight of them. In the eyes of the students, although it is miserable to be eliminated from playing Glory, the elimination rate is not high, and there are so many glamorous The pros are having a good time.

So what Ye Xiu has to do is to make a data for the students and completely cut off their thoughts.

So Ye Xiu sorted out his thoughts for a while, and began to reply: "E-sports is a very cruel industry, and it can even be said to be the cruelest industry in the world. I remember that before Glory established a professional league, all parts of the country still We were in the stage of the Internet cafe league. At that time, basically every Internet cafe had an Internet cafe team. According to incomplete statistics, in our city H alone, there were 36 Internet cafe teams. If you count the Internet cafes in the counties below, there are hundreds of them. And how many cities like ours are there across the country? How many Internet cafes are there across the country? Each Internet cafe has a team, so how many Internet cafe teams are there across the country?"

Ye Xiu paused after finishing speaking, glanced at the group of students in the audience, and then continued: "When the league was just established as a professional league, Internet cafe teams from all over the country could sign up to participate in the audition qualifying competition, just like we do now. Just like the Challenger League, all teams can come to participate in the audition of the Challenger League, but because there were too many Internet cafe teams at that time, if all of them participated in the audition together, it would take a month for the Guanghai audition. The game is over. So in order to select the teams, a regional audition qualification competition was launched at that time. Each city can only have a maximum of two teams to register for the headquarters audition. So at that time, a regional audition was held on a city-by-city basis. In the qualifying competition, the top two teams in each city division competition can go to the glory headquarters to participate in the sea selection competition."

"There are more than 300 cities in our country. Even if the network development in some areas is slow and there are not many Glory players, even so, there are still as many as 600 teams that come to participate in the headquarters audition. These more than [-] teams have passed the audition In the end, only the [-] strongest teams remained. Finally, these [-] teams will participate in the ranking competition, and the top [-] teams can join the alliance and become officially recognized professional teams."

Ye Xiu pointed to Ling Yunxiao and the eight of them: "They are one of these twenty teams, but joining the alliance is only the beginning of the struggle, because out of these twenty teams, only eight teams can enter the playoffs. competition, and then only one can win the championship. That is to say, from the initial audition of tens of thousands of Internet cafe teams to the final championship, the probability of winning is only tens of thousands of one! As you can imagine, such a competition How cruel."

"Perhaps many students think that the example I just gave was Glory ten years ago. It was just starting out, so it was very difficult. But now Glory players don't need to go through such a strict selection process, and they can get a very high salary. If you think so, you are very wrong."

"Compared to Glory's development ten years ago, the development of Glory is indeed getting better and better, but the requirements for professional players are also getting stricter. Let's put it this way, the current professional teams, each team has a novice training Everyone can go to the novice training camp to sign up and participate in trial training. I don’t know about other teams, but for Team Excellent Era, there were more than 800 people who tried out in Team Excellent Era’s training camp last year, and those who finally passed the trial training There are only ten people, and among these ten people, there are only three substitute players, and only one can be promoted to become a real professional player in the end."

"I think there are about 1000 to 2000 people in our school at a certain age. Let's not say pick one out of six thousand and eight, just pick one out of 2000 people in your grade. Then if you want to become a professional player on the road of e-sports, the odds are higher than It is even more difficult for you to take the first place in the grade. So can you guarantee that you will be the first in the whole school in your school? If you can be the first in the school, then you have the qualifications to become a professional player."

After Ye Xiu finished speaking, he stopped again, leaving enough time for the students to think about the cruelty of the e-sports industry.

After a while, Ye Xiu went on to say: "I know that there should be many fans of our Xingxin, and many fans of other teams. There is no problem if you like Glory, but if you delay your study because you like Glory, So it’s not worth the loss. If someone thinks, I don’t study, I play games well, and I can become a professional player, then I have to cruelly pour cold water on you. E-sports is an industry that depends on talent. Among thousands of people, there may not be one e-sports talent who is outstanding. If you think you have e-sports talent and think you can become a professional master, then you can come to our Xingxin team to take a talent test. If you can pass Our test can show that you do have the talent to play e-sports, then after you are admitted to university, you can come to our Xingxin team to report and become a member of the training camp."

Hearing this, the students in the audience immediately asked, "Does Team Xing only want college students?"

Ye Xiu was stunned for a moment, and then said: "That's right, our team Xingxin only recruits college students. Only those who are admitted to university can have the opportunity to join our team Xingxin."

Naturally, the e-sports industry does not require a degree. However, they are in school at this time. In order to stimulate and encourage the students to study hard, Ye Xiu can only say this.

Don't you guys want to play Glory? Do you want to become professional players?Then give me a good study!
After Ye Xiu finished speaking, Principal Tan came to the stage in a timely manner and announced the end of the performance.

After the teachers and students on the playground left one after another, everyone in Xingxin packed up their things and followed them out of the school.

As soon as he got out of school, Chang Xian brought his photography team back to the e-sports home overnight, and they had to go back and stay up late to edit the video.

After a night of hard work by E-Sports Home, at noon the next day, the video of Xingxin’s documentary was finally edited and processed. Then, E-Sports Home held a press conference on the documentary and announced the documentary’s content at the press conference. and sold Xingxin's documentary to many video media such as Tongxun Video, Mango TV, Youku Video, as well as major TV stations.

That night, a documentary called "Road to Glory" was simultaneously broadcast on major video sites and TV stations.

It's the [-]th anniversary of the Glory Professional League. This documentary is actually not the first documentary in the history of Glory. Before that, the Glory official has released several documentaries, but most of those documentaries are to record the development of the major teams. As well as the glorious development of Glory so far, the official purpose of producing these documentaries is to attract more young people to join the e-sports circle and become e-sports players.

However, the documentary released by Team Xingxin this time is uncharacteristically. Their purpose is not to promote glory. On the contrary, their documentary is from the beginning to the end, exhorting students who are obsessed with games and longing to become professional players to give up e-sports This road is full of thorns.Doesn't this cut off Glory's future and the alliance's economy?You know, most of the Glory players are minors in their teens!
Once such a film was broadcast, it was immediately praised by almost all parents and teachers on the Internet. However, such a video greatly damaged the commercial value of the Glory Alliance, and such a video was not approved by the Glory official. With the official permission, Team Xingxin not only filmed an anti-glory internet quitting video, but also released such a video, which greatly damaged the interests of the Glory Alliance.

The league is trying their best to do publicity every day, attracting teenagers to join the e-sports industry. Fortunately, you team Xingxin persuaded people not to play games, let alone become professional players, and raised the threshold for joining a professional team to the University?Many high-level leaders of the alliance were angry.

But many high-level executives have seen the deeper things in this documentary. Although the Glory League is a commercial organization, everything is to build the commercial value of the league and enhance the brand status of the e-sports industry. However, if these things are built on the basis of sacrifice If the future of the students is on the line, it becomes meaningless.

So that night, the top management of the Glory Alliance immediately held an emergency meeting, and had a heated discussion on Team Xingxin and the documentary.

Someone severely condemned Team Xingxin for filming a documentary about quitting the Internet without permission, and suggested that Xingxin be severely punished, and even suggested that Team Xingxin be expelled from the professional team and permanently banned from joining the alliance.There were also people who felt that Team Xingxin still had great commercial value, so expulsion was unnecessary, but punishment for Team Xingxin was essential, and it had to be punished heavily to serve as an example to everyone else.Of course, some people think that Team Xingxin's documentary is very good. Apart from the fact that it violated the rules by not saying hello to the alliance, there is nothing wrong with it.

After some intense discussions, as the chairman of the alliance, Feng Xianjun finally made a summary of the meeting: "What everyone said is very reasonable, so I will sort it out and summarize three points. The first is the first point, and the most important point. Today The current situation of students in society. Nowadays, the Internet is more and more developed, and technology is also more and more developed. Now there are countless children who are addicted to the Internet, and even more than half of them are suffering from the temptation and destruction of online games. To be honest, I My two grandsons play Glory at home every day, and their academic performance has become poor because of this, but I, the chairman of the league, have nothing to do about it. Children are the future of the motherland, and it is necessary to persuade them not to be obsessed with online games. It is an act of political correctness. So in this respect, there is nothing wrong with this documentary. Personally, I support such a film."

"The second point is Team Xingxin's violation of the rules. It is understood that Team Xingxin received an invitation from the local education bureau, so they went to XX Middle School to perform this admonition net performance, in order to let those who are addicted to the Internet Children, they can realize that the Internet is harmful, and earnest study is their only way out. Although they acted out of good intentions, they did not notify our alliance. They filmed a documentary with the media privately and released it directly. On the Internet and on TV, he seriously violated the rules of our league and must be severely punished by us."

"The third point is that Team Xingxin is the strongest dark horse this year. After only two games, Team Xingxin's commercial popularity has already kept pace with those ace teams. With Team Xingxin's potential, it may be able to Become a banner of our alliance. Its team not only has the old master Ye Xiu, but also Duan Yu, Tang Roudeng and other potential newcomers. They may all become the face of our alliance in the future. Therefore, Xingxin must be punished. But how to punish has to be considered accordingly.”

After Feng Xianjun finished speaking, he looked at a group of alliance directors and executives with a smile on his face: "What do you think?"

A group of people look at me, I look at you, they want to refute, but Feng Xianjun's words are very slippery, they can't refute at all, in the end they can only choose to acquiesce.

Team Happy challenged the authority of the alliance and damaged the interests of the alliance. As the directors of the alliance, they were naturally unhappy, but what else could they say after Feng Xianjun said so.

"Then tomorrow, I will send a notification letter to Team Xingxin and ask their people to come to the alliance headquarters." Feng Xianjun smiled after finishing speaking, then got up and left the meeting room.

Seeing Feng Xianjun leave, several directors who suggested that Xingxin's professional qualification should be dismissed immediately complained behind their backs: "The chairman is too partial to Xingxin!"

"Hey! That's Ye Xiu's team, ten years of friendship, old friends!"

"Hmph! If he spoils Xingxin like this, the alliance will end sooner or later!"

"Forget it, he is old, and he won't be a few years."

"How many years? At most two years, he has to retire."

"That is, when he retires, we recommend Mr. Sun to be the chairman of the alliance."

"Yes, yes, only Old Sun has this qualification!"

"Haha, everyone works hard together, after all, it is all for the development of the alliance."
