Create a great era of e-sports.

From the perspective of GPL fans and players, there is no doubt that Korean aid is extremely disadvantageous.

The introduction of Korean players means that the promotion channels for local players in the competition area are narrowed, foreign wars are prone to accidents, youth training is poor, local players are disconnected, and a series of shortcomings.

But from the perspective of the club and Mo Yu, this matter is beneficial.

Strengthen the integration of competition areas, enhance the commercial value of the competition area, enhance the commercial value of the club, and enhance the club's combat effectiveness
The two contradict each other.

However, looking at all commercial sports events, foreign aid is inevitable. Even the Olympic national team also has naturalized players.

It's just that Mo Yu didn't expect that someone would be targeting Korean players before S2 was settled.

But looking at it from the perspective of a club owner, this year's GPL is really likely to be overturned. How can the first team of Emperor Star beat SSW, SSB, and SKT?

As long as you have this idea, you will definitely be interested in Korean players.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu said: "Whether it is Korean players or foreign players from other competition regions, there is no way to avoid it in commercial sports like GAG. Since it cannot be avoided, it is better to block it than to remove it."

"You mean you agree?" Zhang Zhaoyang frowned: "But if Korean players are introduced, what will happen to the domestic youth training players?"

"Of course it's not that simple."

Mo Yu waved his hand and said: "You can have Korean players, European players, American players, and Southeast Asian players. You just need to set the rules. For example, the number of foreign players in each team cannot exceed a certain quota, and the clubs that foreign players can contact cannot exceed a certain quota." How many players are there, what conditions are needed for foreign players to become local players, etc.”

Too many foreign players in the team will affect the development of local players, too many clubs competing for foreign players will drive up prices, and giving foreign players naturalization conditions will make foreign players less interested. These are the relevant rules of the previous LPL.

Since it cannot be avoided, make certain restrictions.

"Foreign aid is unavoidable, and local players cannot be neglected. In any case, local players are the foundation. While introducing foreign aid, domestic youth training must also increase its efforts again."

"I remember you held a meeting before and required every club to invest a certain amount of money in youth training every year?"

Mo Yu asked.

The GPL is different from the previous LPL. Due to the pressure of next year's Asian Games and Mo Yu's pressure, and Zhang Zhaoyang taking the lead with a pure e-sports heart, he has done a lot in the youth training area, and everyone is willing to invest.

After the end of S2, an auction of youth training players will be organized.

At that time, 300 players from more than 48 youth training players recruited and trained by various clubs and official youth training and two major channels will be selected to participate in the auction. Major GPL, GDL and even some wealthy independent teams are invited.

"There is such a thing."

Zhang Zhaoyang nodded: "At least spend 15% of the total average expenditure of each club last season."

As GAG competitions become more and more popular, the cost of running a club is already high.

Take Star Team, the poorest team in the league, as an example.

Liu Guoliang, the owner of a chain of Internet cafes, invests at least 5 to 6 yuan in the club every year, which means he spends to yuan every year to train youth training.

This amount of money may not seem like much, but for the current youth training players, food and accommodation are included. Most of them cannot get any money and even have to pay tuition. Only the top talented players can earn an income of one to two thousand yuan. , is no longer a small number.

However, it is not easy for Liu Guoliang to spend so much money every year to run the club. Fortunately, the GAG ​​competition is now popular enough, Xingkong has received many commercial contracts, and there are many monetization channels, so he can basically still make money.

Not to mention top clubs like Emperor Star. The more Zhang Zhaoyang earns, the more he spends.

"Let's add 5% more." Mo Yu said: "Youth training is the eternal foundation. I won't get involved in this matter. You can hold a meeting to discuss a charter with others. You can but must do it if you want to introduce foreign players. Regulation must be strengthened when restrictions are lifted. No matter what, cultivating our own talents is fundamental.”

"also."

Zhang Zhaoyang thought about it and felt that what he said made sense, so he nodded in agreement, but he was still aggrieved: "Damn it, I never expected that these B's were so unconfident and jumped out before the results were announced."

"Human nature."

Mo Yu patted him on the shoulder: "Your team wins the championship every year, who doesn't want to overthrow you? Since you can't find strong players at home, then look for them abroad. Besides, judging from this year's situation Look, the Koreans are really strong and will not be weak in the future. It is normal for them to have ideas." "If you really don't want foreign aid, then you have to be strong yourself. If the top four in S3 next year are all GPL teams, , doesn’t that mean that Chinese aid is rampant?”

"If you really want to slap someone in the face, the best way is to let Emperor Star continue to defend the title. By then, I'm afraid their thoughts will fade away."

"That's right." Zhang Zhaoyang clenched his fists tightly and said with a ferocious smile: "What the hell, go back to the hotel!"

"I want to create a pre-war incentive. If you win the championship, everyone will be rewarded with a ready-made house. I don't believe that there will be no brave men under the huge reward!"

In this period when house prices have entered the early stage of soaring, a house is definitely a huge reward.

Moreover, Zhang Zhaoyang was generous, and the house he took out was definitely not a poor house, nor was it a house with a small square meter.

Jingzhou Construction Engineering Co., Ltd. has nothing else, but doesn’t it have a lot of houses?

"atmosphere!"

Mo Yu gave a thumbs up in admiration when he heard this.

Putting the matter of foreign aid aside for now, the entire GAG ​​circle is now paying attention to the final stage of the game.

After a period of training.

Players from the four teams all showed confidence when being interviewed.

"We have studied new tactics, and defeating the Emperor Star shouldn't be a problem."

"Right now, I'm not thinking about the championship. I'll beat the semi-finals first. That should be fine."

"There are great opportunities this year. GCK is already worthy of its name as the first division."

"What? The Emperor Star is surrounded? Sorry, we surrounded them!"

"It's pretty simple. I feel like defending the title is not a big problem. I have great hope."

In front of the camera, every player who was interviewed did not show any timidity, and they also told the truth. Regardless of any of the four teams, if they can reach this point without a rookie, who will admit defeat?

Seoul.

World Cup Stadium.

In the era before the Sky Dome was built, this stadium carried all the sports dreams of Koreans and was also a landmark building in Seoul. It is currently the largest stadium in South Korea and even Asia, and is known as one of the top ten "exhilarating stadiums" in the world. "one.

The entire venue covers a large area and is shaped like a traditional kite and sailing boat. There are 67000 seats in the venue.

The final semifinals and finals of this S2 Global Finals will be grandly opened in this stadium.

During the game, all seats are open, and the Korean government dispatched professional law enforcement officers to maintain order at the scene. The mayor of Seoul and the leaders of KESPA will also come on stage to deliver speeches.

During the competition, all 30,000 tickets sold for the first round were sold out early, and the remaining tickets for the second round were quickly sold out before the start of the game.

Some people have no choice but to pay ten, twenty, or even fifty times the price to get tickets from scalpers.

Even tickets for the finals were purchased hundreds of times online!
This shows how lively this S2 event is.
