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

Chapter 271: Going to Europe and the United States to start a team?

Be broad and subtle.

Pei Le and other club investors were puzzled by the fact that GBG was at the forefront of the traffic trend, but Tang Jun changed from normal and did not aggressively increase traffic. Instead, he began to shrink and rectify his business.

Seeing that most of the offseason was over and the summer split was about to start in a week, Pei Le couldn't bear it any longer.

After seeing that GBG had released a 'charitable skin campaign' without any publicity, he couldn't help but make a call directly.

"It's always right to be cautious. Don't worry, I have a very detailed plan for the future development of the club."

"Contestants live broadcast?"

"Gao Zhenning and Pupu here have never passed the training content assessment. I want to wait until they pass before the whole team can start the live broadcast together."

Tang Jun enjoyed Bella's massage comfortably.

He stayed in the southwest for four days and just returned to the base yesterday.

Inspecting the factory and participating in the groundbreaking ceremony of Hope Primary School did not waste much of his time. The main reason why he stayed in the southwest for four days was to inspect the scenery of the Ljiang ancient city with Eunjing, and by the way, he experienced the Ljiang River in person. Based on the B&B environment in the ancient city, it is concluded that it is not advisable to invest in a B&B in the ancient city.

"Failed the training assessment?"

"Isn't it possible to pass this thing easily if you just study a little harder?"

Pei Le has also heard about GBG's special training on "Professional Qualities of LPL Professional Players".

He had discussed with Tang Jun a few days ago that after the GBG club training was over, he would drag Chen Zimo to WE to give his brother-in-law, Kang Di and others special training.

"Well, Prince Ning is a bit too outspoken. What he said is related to some of his own problems."

Tang Jun held his forehead with his palm and sighed continuously.

These two guys are the current problem players of the GBG team.

According to training feedback, this guy is too sociophobic. As long as there are too many people in the live broadcast room, his speech will be incoherent.

And King Ning.

Maybe he worked as a network administrator after dropping out of school, and he came into contact with too many gangsters. In addition, due to tutoring problems, his personality was too careless and careless, and he spoke too openly, so problems could easily occur during live broadcasts.

These two problem students definitely need to reinvent themselves.

Tang Jun was not surprised by this.

No one is perfect, and you can't be too demanding. As long as you follow the most basic moral bottom line, don't think about having relationships or eating spinach before you become a capital like yourself and have a little money in your pocket.

As for Ning Wangrui's comment about Kid's petty nature before time travel, "I'm telling you, Kid is extremely petty, even three years ago," Tang Jun naturally knows.

And the training he carried out for professional players was to avoid something like this from happening.

After all, character design must be established in a good direction.

The image displayed in front of the public can be ordinary, but it must not be negative.

At least, as long as the players' contracts are still under the GBG club, Tang Jun will restrict their words and deeds. This is a kind of behavior that is good for you and me. "I understand you. But GBG has shown too much potential in the past six months!"

"The LPL will become a league next season. It is said that three more teams will be added. Didn't the club recently launch a youth training plan?"

"We can definitely find a company to sponsor and cooperate, and then invest in a team in the LPL!"

Pei Le's voice coming from the loudspeaker was particularly exciting.

Tang Jun was not surprised by his performance.

As far as the country is concerned, the vast majority of e-sports clubs are supported by the rich second generation or people with backgrounds who are passionate about e-sports, and have not formed a stable business model.

For example, IG, which Wang Shicong invested in very early, EDG, which was formed after a desperate battle, and RNG, which was acquired and reorganized just to let his favorite players play in the team, are all clubs formed under this model.

All the above clubs, even Pei Le's own WE, are still losing money every year so far!

On the one hand, this is because the domestic e-sports market started too late and is relatively small. Even though it has shown an explosive growth trend in recent years, the current profit model of the teams is still too single, and the consumption power of the e-sports audience is not strong enough. .

As we all know, women have the strongest spending power in the country, followed by children, then dogs, and finally men.

Tang Jun and others won the first World Championship in S2. However, because the LPL's business alliance was still in its infancy at that time, and the 4G era had not yet arrived, the live broadcast and other industries did not show explosive growth, resulting in The group of star-chasers with the strongest spending power, that is, groups similar to the "Water Ghost Sisters" and "Study Moms" of later generations, did not enter the League of Legends.

Therefore, so far, the e-sports consumer group is still men in the fourth tier.

Even though GBG was very popular in the first half of this year, whether it was competitions or offline products, it was actually still losing money, and a lot of money.

Of course, the main reason for this is that the upfront investment in club acquisitions and other aspects is too large.

If GBG can maintain its momentum in the spring, it can basically turn a profit next year and become the most successful club in the LPL.

"It will take some time before the results of the youth training plan come out."

"But I already have ideas about the club."

"It is completely feasible to spend money to buy seats. I talked with people from the league a few days ago. They seem to be planning to allocate part of the profits of the entire LPL commercial league to the clubs, which means that the clubs can receive subsistence allowances."

"Spending money to buy seats, although the upfront investment is a bit large, can definitely make back the money by living on the subsistence allowance. In addition, the club engages in youth training draws and sells a few players, so it won't lose money."

“League of Legends competitions will remain very popular for a long time to come.”

Tang Jun told Pei Le his opinion.

The latter also agreed.

As for making money from selling players, we have to thank Dota next door for its contribution to the development of League of Legends.

In order to quickly expand their strength and influence, some clubs are particularly eager to use high salaries to build a star team. This behavior has led to the occurrence of 'bubble wars':

Originally, players' salaries were only tens of millions a month, and those with a little bit of strength might reach 50,000 or 60,000 yuan. However, a club suddenly offered a "sky-high price" of 100,000 yuan to poach players away. When other clubs saw this, they also 82,000 people started poaching people, leading to a vicious cycle.

It is precisely because of this that the league has learned from the lessons learned next door and has begun to improve transfer fees, restrict players from opening Taobao stores to sell meat floss cakes, and stipulate minimum guarantees for professional players.

"Actually, rather than building a team in China, I think it would be good to invest in one in Europe and the United States."
