LOL: Who still wants to play professionally after winning the championship?

Chapter 130 A certain voice wants naming rights

Jin Yibo, the person in charge of Bobby among the players.

Between 2017 and 2019, he made a lot of contributions to the LPL.

From personally leading the team in the 2017 Intercontinental Championship to serving as a facilitator for the four LPL teams to cooperate sincerely in 2018, it can be said that he has accomplished all the tasks except for the perfect ending.

It's tragic to say that in 2017, the Bird's Nest LCK duo had a civil war, and in 2018, RNG fell to the quarterfinals in the Grand Slam. As the head of the LOL brand, he caught up with them all.

"I thought you would reject my proposal." Jin Yibo stood up from his desk and sat down opposite Tang Jun at the round table.

"Why should I refuse? First of all, I am a businessman, and secondly, I am a player." Tang Jun took a sip of hot tea.

emmm, the taste is quite average, not as good as the wolfberry tea in their GBG thermos cup.

Jin Yibo smiled and said: "You are really free and easy. If other people could think like you, my job would be much easier."

"That's why those guys can't win a championship for so many years."

Jin Yibo was noncommittal and continued: "You and your officials will send people to match up in the follow-up. However, the points for the top four in the spring competition are mandatory. Those who cannot reach it will not be eligible for the subsequent intercontinental competition."

"Do your best to do your best and obey fate. If you can't even do your best, you will have your face slapped by the LCK."

Tang Jun's post-match interview just now was not groundless.

From the club's perspective, it should be an exchange of interests.

As a newcomer to the LPL, Tengjing tried its best to help promote their club. To put it bluntly, it was a tilt of resources.

What Tang Jun needs to pay is GBG's training team and some of his own tactical guidance.

In the LPL, you can feel that the current overall strength of GBG is not enough to compete for the final spring championship, but absolutely no one will question the ability of the person in front of them, even the teams with whom they have a bad relationship.

In addition to the publicity resources decided from the beginning, the two of them mostly chatted about the development of e-sports.

As the conversation deepened, Jin Yibo was shocked to find that the man in front of him was even more optimistic about the future of e-sports and its various development directions than he, a person who specializes in LOL brand development.

No wonder!
No wonder they are willing to abandon those industries that outsiders think are profitable and switch to e-sports. It must be admitted that in the LPL, as operators, what they want to see most is that the more people like Tang Jun, the better.

Seeing Jin Yibo's smiling face, Tang Jun certainly couldn't explain more.

I can’t say that I have seen the future development of LOL until 2023, and I know its pros and cons clearly.

As for GBG's competition training methods, he doesn't mind sharing them, partly because he hopes the competition area will be stronger.

Another part of the reason is that some clubs can learn it after watching it, and there is no difference between some clubs whether they have watched it or not.

"Today's cooperation and exchange meeting will start soon. All the sponsors have arrived. Can we meet first?"

"Of course, business cannot be done without righteousness."

Who would be stupid enough to offend the sponsor's father? If he is not now, it does not mean that there will be no chance of cooperation in the future.

Tang Jun immediately stood up and signaled to the person in charge, Bobby, that he could change his identity as a "middleman".

……

"Sorry, sorry, I just finished the game and talked with Comrade Lao Jin again, keeping you all waiting for a long time."

Under the eyes of the person in charge, Bobby, who wanted to kill someone, Tang Jun, who walked into the main conference room of Supermarket Plaza, unceremoniously threw the blame on his head.

There is no way to refute it, the resource exchange cooperation with GBG is really the one he invited. "You're welcome, GBG has won five games in a row, I thought you were going to celebrate today."

"I'm celebrating after just five consecutive wins. If I win ten consecutive victories, do I have to consider popping the champagne?"

"Hahaha!"

"Don't talk about it. When GBG started, Lao Pei asked me if I wanted to invest in it. Last year, the capital turnover has been difficult... If I had known that I would have to grab a bench even for a loan, I regret it now."

"I told you that if you follow me, you will be at a disadvantage. Look at it now..."

"I don't think Mr. Tang will consider investing in the stock. You can't refuse the team endorsement."

There were many sponsoring brands present, and of course the person in charge of Tang Jun’s GBG team was not there.

Among them, there are several live broadcast platforms. Strictly speaking, the GBG team just conducted a live broadcast on a certain fish some time ago. Everyone knows that the GBG team signed a contract with a certain fish. The person in charge of other live broadcast platforms is not the protagonist today, but Including a certain Jie Yuedong, they were still among the first batch of people to exchange information with Tang Jun.

A group of people know very well that GBG has signed a contract to determine the platform, but Tang Jun's personal contract can be changed at any time.

In this regard, Tang Jun has his own choice in mind.

Because of the cooperative relationship between live broadcast platforms, of course they cannot tear their legs apart and find another one. In addition to live broadcasts, other sponsoring brands can be described as diverse.

From the most common e-sports peripherals, Razer, Logitech, and Andester, to some beverage brands, and even regular companies such as Semir and Mercedes-Benz.

In the eyes of big companies, the GBG club of the LPL is now a hot commodity. It needs traffic and results.

What, you said that historical achievements are not achievements?

Sorry, hero himself is the boss, so at least half of the honor of S2 lies with GBG. They just don't publicize that they are the S2 championship team.

Even some people are still wondering why Tang Jun doesn't use the previous team name since he is going to start a team.

When it comes to GBG's choice of sponsors, clothing companies naturally take the first pass. He is planning to start his own clothing brand, so how can he help others endorse it.

We can talk about some peripheral brands now. After all, for a long time in the future, unless GBG wins the S competition, the endorsement fee will not increase much.

On the other hand, Tang Jun was not in a hurry to agree to their short-term contract proposal that car companies and young people like carbonated drinks.

Although a little arrogant, Tang Jun believes that their GBG will go even higher this year.

In the end, under the strange gazes of everyone, compared to the many endorsements received by established teams such as EDG and WE, GBG had successfully negotiated deals with only a few endorsements.

Don't want any money delivered to your door?

Whoever runs an e-sports club thinks that they can definitely achieve results? Shouldn't they make money first if they want to make money?

"Mr. Tang, I think we can talk about the GBG naming issue."

Near the end of the sponsor exchange meeting in early 2017, the last person in charge of a certain music company proposed an exclusive title cooperation to Tang Jun.

Regarding the short video, Tang Jun did not directly refuse the invitation to a certain section.

After all, releasing stable traffic related to GBG on the short video platform is one of his established development routes.

Even if the club can achieve good results in the World Championship this year, GBG will fully turn to this in the future.

Others don't know what the final outcome of their negotiations will be.
