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

Chapter 304 The current situation of lpl youth training!

"Is it through youth training or... buying players?"

Although Enjing was asking Tang Jun, she was already thinking about the GBG Club.

Whether it is a traditional sports event or any industry, there are always a few people at the top of the pyramid.

And this kind of polarization is especially obvious in the e-sports industry!

Take League of Legends as an example. The salaries and values ​​of world star players, LPL star players, LPL non-star players, LDL (secondary league) players, and youth trainees have shown a stepwise decrease.

The money players like Faker or Uzi earn from playing half a season or even a month may be money that some LPL non-star players cannot earn in their entire careers!

Some people's transfer fees are close to small goals, while some youth training players are receiving subsistence allowances every month, waiting hard for the opportunity to play in the league.

A large part of the reason for this is that the level of youth training players is really inferior compared to those talented star players and veterans on the field.

"Buy and youth training, two-pronged approach!"

Tang Jun lamented, "Really talented people rarely enter the LPL through youth training. They are more often discovered during live broadcasts or Ranking."

As he spoke, a big head appeared in front of Tang Jun.

Yu Wenbo's.

This guy is also outrageous. He went to play professionally while live streaming, and he won the world championship while playing professionally. The most important thing is that in the original time and space, he was only 17 years old!

Well, he is the chosen one and the only one.

Having good luck and strength is really a bit enviable!

"The priority is still to buy, and the youth training cannot be impatient."

"Although we are currently conducting youth training selection, exaggerating this process is no different from finding a needle in a haystack."

"Even if the club's youth training system becomes mature and complete, it is still difficult to discover players through youth training."

"Only by making the GBG club a championship club, a double crown club, or even a triple crown club can the club's youth training camp become a gold magnet, able to attract talents with real shining points among countless netizens and teenagers to join!"

Celebrity effect exists in all walks of life.

If you randomly select a hundred Internet-addicted teenagers who follow LPL games and ask them to choose a youth training club, a quarter of them will choose GBG, a quarter will choose EDG, a quarter will choose RNG, and the rest Most people will choose clubs such as IG, OMG, and WE, which have more glorious ancestors or have celebrity bonuses.

For those clubs at the bottom of the Dark King level, unless they are desperate, even if they can play computer games for free in the training room every day and get paid every month, these Internet-addicted teenagers will not have any idea.

"Yes, that's true."

Enjing read Tang Jun's words, and three big English words appeared in her mind: SKT and Faker!

As the only Triple Crown club and Triple Crown player in League of Legends, the two are bound together. So no matter how bad the youth training system of SKT club is, the players in the LCK division will still regard it as their "first choice" to enter the professional league. One wish”!

After all, those 12 or 13-year-old boys when Faker won his first championship are now 16 or 17 years old, and some are even adults, fully old enough to play the game!

It is not difficult to imagine that if Faker can play for a few more years in the future, his teammates will most likely be the young fans who sat in front of the computer and watched the live broadcast of the game when he won the championship in S3 or even S5 and S6!

"Our LPL has held an official youth training camp program since last year. There are about ten players entering the LPL this year, but the one who has made a name for himself is the EDG team iBoy."

"So, sometimes it's not that we don't want to discover talents, but talents. No, geniuses are too rare!" Tang Jun stood up and said melancholy.

Enjing is very proficient in Chinese, but she doesn't understand whether Tang Jun's words are talking to her or if he means something.

"However, e-sports will never lack talent!"

After thinking for a while, Enjing slowly walked behind Tang Jun, put her hands on the stiff muscles of his arms, and massaged them regularly to relax them.

"Hey, why are you so serious all of a sudden?"

Tang Jun seemed to be mocking himself and said: "The summer season hasn't even started yet, and I'm already worried about the future of the club. I'll at least wait until the World Championship!"

"Also, it's not like our club doesn't have a youth training program."

"Yes." Eunjing: "If we can win the championship this season, the club's funds will reach a very scary level. During the winter transfer period, we can even poach players like Faker. Well, I'm serious. "

"The current salary in LCK seems to be a little bit behind that of LPL."

“After the LPL becomes a league next year, it is expected that there will be many more players from playoff teams in the LCK division.”

"If you have money, there will definitely be mercenaries!" Tang Jun said calmly: "But mercenaries are mercenaries after all, and there are still only a few who truly have professional ethics."

"In the final analysis, our GBG club must establish our own e-sports talent training plan and system!"

In fact, Tang Jun had thought about this a long time ago.

He even planned to invest in the establishment of an e-sports vocational and technical college, but considering the conservative nature of the vast majority of parents in the country and the possibility of public opinion being detrimental to the entire GBG club brand, he finally gave up the idea.

After all, if a talent can really get into Tsinghua University, no matter how talented the opponent is in gaming, Tang Jun will not let him play professionally.

Although we are in modern society now, there is still a gap between professions and professions.

There is only one person like Han Han who can write novels, play racing cars, and make movies at the highest level among tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people!

"By the way, it is said that YM has several good prospects, especially a new mid laner who is very strong. Please help me pay more attention to him."

"If you are a slut, ahem, Liu has the intention to sell players, you must buy him over!"

Tang Jun knows that the guy on the left is now in YM. He even participated in a friend game during the 2FiveOpen live broadcast with Zoom not long ago, and easily defeated the so-called passerby king in the game.

In later generations, the left hand was as hip as his good brother Chaowei in a foreign country in international competitions, but his strength in the league is still undoubted.

As long as he can be signed, even if Wei Shen transfers to PUBG, GBG's mid lane will not have too many omissions.

At worst, let him practice on the field!

After the mark is put on, don't you kill whoever you see?

By then, as long as we don't mess up the lineup and spend some money, GBG Club's tickets to the World Championship are still guaranteed!
