Alliance: I'm really not a genius

Chapter 303 The battle of the top eight, the bayonet sees blood
October 21.

In the third game of the quarterfinals, EDG vs. Samsung.

The time is four o'clock in the afternoon, and the venue is Guangzhou Gymnasium.

The weather in Guangzhou in October is still very hot. When the brothers in the Northeast have already put on their coats, the friends in Guangzhou are too hot to wear short sleeves.

Audiences who came to watch the game today can be seen everywhere on the road. The stadium will not check in until [-]:[-], and the players will stay outside the stadium and start playing.

It won't be boring outside, because the League of Legends official has arranged various entertainment activities early, and there are countless beautiful and sexy cos girls taking pictures with the summoners.

Who would be bored to watch Guangzhou's hot big white legs and big breasts.

Well, those legs are really long, no, the white is also really white.

Maybe there is a chance to meet a man who likes to work hard on the road, and the EDG team, regardless of male or female fans, will get together and form a small circle.

Looking at the grand occasion outside the window, Qin Yu, who has never participated in the finals, was very excited.

That's it for the quarterfinals. I don't know what the grand finals will be like.

In the previous life, Huaxia players watched the sad scene of the decisive battle between the two Korean teams in the Bird's Nest. When they had the ability to change, the experience was indescribable.

Seeing the actions of a certain boss, Meikou, who was close to the side, rolled her eyes.

New?

You call the people who kill indiscriminately on the field Mengxin?
Lee Sang Hyuk and the top laners have something MMP wants to say.

On the contrary, Abu and Mingkai sighed in their hearts with the expression of a loving father watching the children in the team grow up;
It was only at this time that he could see the rookie side in humility. In the past, he was so mature that Ming Kai once wondered if Qin Yu was an old monster reborn into a young body.

Immediately, he dispelled his guess, how can there be such a fantasy thing in the world, it should be that Xiao Qin is relatively precocious.

"Should we go down and meet the fans or something?"

"Farewell, the game is about to come, it's not good to cause some extra trouble."

Considering that the game time was approaching, Abramovich rejected the team's proposal.

The players just yelled twice outside the arena, and then watched EDG's racing vehicles enter the arena.

Thousands of spectators lined up to enter the arena. The scene was so big that many players who came from Europe and the United States sighed that the e-sports atmosphere in China is also strong.

Since the Guangzhou Gymnasium is the venue for the quarter-finals, it is naturally much larger in scale.

Counting the staff, it is more than enough to pretend to be 1 people.

At the ticket gate of the competition venue, a large EDG support stand was set up.

Although Abramovich rejected the team members' proposal to contact fans, some support items have been prepared in advance, and the support items provided by the EDG club are there for fans to obtain by themselves.

It is a benefit of the club to the fans.

The only items that are charged are the player's custom-signed team uniforms, and among them, the sales ratio of humility is the most exaggerated.

Some college students didn't have time to grab tickets, and anxiously stayed with their girlfriends outside, looking at the big screen while carefully comforting them.

Those who don't have a ticket can watch it on a big screen outside, but it's hot.

At this time, there will always be a man or a woman wrapped in a mask who walks forward, carefully checks the surroundings, and then quietly leans to the ear. When you think the other party is going to ask you some indescribable exciting picture, say "brother" Want a ticket? It will immediately bring you back to reality.

While the college students were swearing, these scalpers were wary of the official crackdown while looking for big customers who they thought might buy tickets.

At the scene, when the 1 people are basically full, it can only be described as a sea of ​​people.

There are nearly a thousand seats for the VIP seats at the front desk alone. Qin Yu stretched his head to look when he walked past the backstage. According to the official statement, there seemed to be special private rooms above.

It is extremely expensive.

"Brother Dog, you said that our club pays so much salary every year, and there are various expenses, can the club earn back just by selling a little team uniforms and advertising fees?"

Although zet was born in South Korea, where e-sports is well-established, he asked curiously if he didn't know much about it.

"Of course it's impossible to just rely on the fans' money to sell team uniforms. Regular clubs may even pay back." Qin Yu smiled, and the other people were also very curious when they heard the words, and they all came together!Pausing for a second and seeing that Abu didn't stop, he continued: "For example, the LPL officials will share a part of the e-sports broadcast rights revenue with the team every year. Simply put, the more people watch your game, the better the results. This part of the small money More money."

"Otherwise, do you think why the factory's games and Brother Zaozi's games were scheduled for prime time?"

"Hey, I know this, after all, pigs and dogs fight." Meikou learned to answer quickly.

Ming Kai, on the other hand, looked a little embarrassed. To be honest, he hadn't thought about these issues before.

"What else, what else?"

"The second part is naturally the endorsement." Pointing to the advertising space on his body, Qin Yu said: "For a brand sponsor, the purpose of e-sports club sponsorship is nothing more than to increase the brand's exposure. In the field, the audience will be younger and there will be more consumption potential. Therefore, brand sponsorship is a big income for the entire e-sports club.”

Abu was noncommittal. For EDG, brand sponsorships have a lot of money, and big names such as Logitech and Mercedes-Benz have cooperated.

Smaller companies really can’t leave a mark on their uniforms. This year, due to the relationship between performance and topicality, series such as AJ on the uniforms want to come in to share a wave of traffic.

However, for a wealthy team, brand sponsorship is still not the main thing.

The prize money for other tournaments is even the smallest of the small ones. EDG shareholders have reached an agreement that if they can win the championship in 2017, 50% of the prize money belonging to the club will be taken out, and 30% of it will go to the best-performing FMVP of the year. Exclusively, others are shared by the whole team according to the contribution ratio.

Abu was really curious about how much Qin Yu, a talented student, knew.

When they came to the lounge, the team members sat down on the sofa one by one, and the team's staff went to meet with the official and report the list of players and equipment.

Qin Yu was not in a hurry, took a cup of warm water and drank it, and panted regardless of the impatience of others.

"Actually, other clubs in the league don't dare to say it, but the only real money maker in the LPL is EDG, the manager, am I right?"

Abu didn't say anything, Qin Yu assumed it as a default.

After knocking on the head, Qin Yu said in a strange tone: "Don't you all pay attention to the name of our EDG?"

"No~"

Everyone shook their heads.

"Many of the companies founded by the boss bear the name of EDG, and this is the biggest profit point."

“E-sports doesn’t make money, it’s the return on traffic brought by e-sports that makes money.”

After talking for a while, seeing several people still couldn't understand, Qin Yu ended the topic.

Professional players are generally not well-educated. Except for a few people, it is difficult to understand the way of capital investment and making money. As far as he knows, the boss Ed Zhu later founded He-Zhong New Energy, a joint venture with GAC, to eat EDG traffic benefits.

In 2016, EDG's annual network search volume reached an astonishing [-] billion times.

The word 4396 alone has contributed tens of millions of traffic, which is comparable to other advertisements?

Ahem, it shouldn’t be about our factory.

Let’s stop talking about it, everyone doesn’t really care about the club’s money-making issues, just pay wages in time, and then don’t delay wages and drag yourself to sell.

After finishing the chat, nofe started his own job. Today's starter is still Qin Yu Yu Mingkai, and Ai Luoli sits on the bench. This year, with the excellent condition of the factory manager, he can get a lot of opportunities to play, Ai Luoli He is content, unlike the poor mouse who is still an emergency substitute.

Facing Samsung, a difficult enemy, they couldn't help but be careless.

Similarly, in Samsung's lounge, Ambison and the coaching staff were also frowning. They wouldn't be like this when they played Dragon Ball, and they really didn't know what to do when they played EDG.

Let's play it.

Today's guests are Changmao and Su Xiaoyan.

Game commentary is doll and Miller.

Before the game started, Changmao led Su Xiaoyan to analyze it.

The explanations of the two are not very interesting, but their professionalism is quite good.

Unlike some players who play EDG without thinking, Su Xiaoyan and Changmao both think that among the current Korean teams, it is difficult to beat Samsung in the knockout round.

SKT has obvious shortcomings this year. Dragon Ball lacks running-in, which cannot be seen in bo1, and there are too many things that need to test the team in bo5.

As big as tactics and as small as satiety, it will affect the state of the players.

When it comes to the quarter-finals, there is no saying whether to hide or not to hide tactics. Unless there is a huge gap in strength between the two teams, it will be the rhythm of the bayonet.

Garbage time before the game is over.

The audience at the scene were all fine, and the audience in the live broadcast room were eagerly waiting for the start of the game.

With the end of the countdown, the live broadcast screen was finally shown to the players' seats.

The Samsung players came on stage first, followed by EDG as the host.

Different from the series of small actions that Bangzi Asan and the others used to hold the competition, LPL can be said to have carefully selected each venue to host the global finals, and the service is even more perfect.

Wait until the debugging equipment is finished.

Meikou noticed that her top-ranking daddy took out his custom-made keyboard today.

Humility is now EDG's most popular fried chicken. As a sponsored peripheral father, how could he let Qin Yu, a cash cow, immediately invite professionals to design a sky blue mechanical keyboard and mouse.

The size of the keyboard buttons and the mouse fit Qin Yu's hands one-to-one, and the fantasy effect of being able to breathe and have a soul cannot be achieved. Compared with Shuangfeiyan, it must be the difference between a dragon and an ant.

Sponsors are also making money, although humility doesn't use this keyboard very much.

It was only used in big competitions at MSI and Intercontinental, but it couldn't stop players from buying the same model on the official website.

I make money, you can do whatever you want.

If it weren't for the fact that the seats and computers were provided uniformly during the official competition, even the peripheral sponsors wanted to cover everything.

After a while.

The players finally raised their hands to signal.

Countless spectators cheered up.

The game is finally about to start!
