Rebirth: War on the Honest

Gu Yun finally suppressed the weeds growing wildly in his heart.

After all, the rules had just been established, and the team members didn’t have time to go back and collect their cell phones. As the team leader and coach, he took the lead in picking up girls and stayed up all night, so there was no way to build discipline and style.

It’s never too late to be like Wen Ju Wen Cun. Compared with the opportunity to go to Seattle to win the cup and realize the dream, if you don’t work hard, you will really regret it.

After returning to the training base, Gu Yun locked the team members' mobile phones in the password cabinet and devoted himself to accompanying the Nanhu Club in preparing for training.

Among the list of Ti2 direct invitation teams, there are four Chinese teams, DK, IG, EHOME, and LGD, that have obtained direct invitation qualifications. The only domestic strong teams that have the opportunity to compete with the Nanhu team in the qualifiers are Tongfu and WE.

After a few days of training, everyone has initially changed their irregular schedule of staying up late in Jiangcheng and started to get used to going to bed early and getting up early.

If you want to achieve good results, good health is the first priority.

The results in the training matches seemed to have stabilized, and the audience was used to the days without outdoor live broadcasts. After the Nanhu team beat IG 3-0 in the training match, Gu Yun received a private message from the other team.

"Hi, this is ig's misunderstanding. You guys are very strong. Do you want to consider packaging and selling the entire club?"

After Gu Yun saw the private message, he didn't react for a long time.

Acquisition?

This year is the first year that Wang Gongzi of Wanda Group is preparing to expand its business territory and enter the e-sports industry.

In 2012, domestic e-sports clubs sprung up like mushrooms after rain, but because there was no systematic team management, they were almost like scattered sand. The wages of players are extremely low, and the average level in the industry is only around 2,000. The daily life of the players is to live in a snail's nest.

Training in a rental house, waiting for the opportunity to play a game.

As Wang Gongzi said at the time: "I have been paying attention to the e-sports circle for a long time, and what I have seen is an e-sports circle with immature models, irregular events, unstable clubs, and an imperfect industrial chain."

Mr. Wang first acquired CCM, a first-tier domestic e-sports club at the time, and renamed it IG.

Then, he poached four more players from the LGD club, which also led to the disbandment of the LGD team.

A series of actions by Mr. Wang in the e-sports circle caused an uproar. At this time, Mr. Wang was no longer a spectator. He had hobbies, vision, and execution ability. He knew that the e-sports industry had unlimited potential, so

Resolutely started investing in e-sports.

In terms of treatment at the e-sports club, Mr. Wang is even more committed to his words. The training environment for e-sports players has been greatly improved, their wages have increased significantly, and they have also received appropriate image packaging. Within the circle, as long as Mr. Wang wants to

No matter who you dig, there is nothing you can’t dig.

Now, Prince Wang has set his sights on Nanhu Club, which is powerful and well-known in the circle.

But Nanhu Club is different from other e-sports clubs. The team members have found the password to wealth early. They are all extremely rich, and they are really not short of money.

"Sorry, I haven't considered it yet."

Gu Yun replied to the private message, and the other party quickly gave him his contact information as if he had guessed his answer.

"Don't refuse in a hurry. Our boss is very interested in the Dota2 project and wants to talk to you in person. The price is not an issue and can be negotiated."

Mr. Wang wants to chat in person?

It seems that his desire to acquire is really strong.

In fact, if it weren't for the emergence of Gu Yun and his personal formation of the Nanhu team, in another timeline, the ig team would have been the Ti2 world champion that year.

Now the Nanhu team's strong training results have made Prince Wang excited.

Anyway, you spend money in exchange for grades, and whoever has good grades will be rewarded.

That afternoon, Gu Yun came to the ig e-sports club where Mr. Wang was.

"Hello, hello, what do you call me brother?"

Prince Wang's eyes were full of surprise. He did not expect that the owner of the South Lake Club was younger than himself.

What's going on? Whose rich second generation is this? Is playing e-sports so popular in the circle now?

"Hello Brother Cong, just call me Gu Yun."

Gu Yun stretched out his hand and shook hands with Mr. Wang, and the two sat down on the sofa in the reception room.

The voice of "Brother Feng is awesome" came from time to time in the training room. It was the ig players training, and the person who called Brother Feng was yyf, the team spirit of ig.

In his previous life, the idols who only appeared on various live broadcast platforms and screens were so close, and even their boss was sitting across from him, chatting and laughing with him, Gu Yun suddenly felt a huge sense of accomplishment.

This is a different feeling that no amount of money can buy.

"I see that you are younger than me. Brother, we have been training with you recently and we haven't fucking won. I originally wanted to ask you if you want to sell the club. We can negotiate the price and other things."

Prince Wang snapped his fingers, and the beautiful woman beside him brought two cups of coffee.

"But I see that you are also quite interested in Dota 2. You are not a pure businessman. I guess selling the club would be difficult, right?"

When Gu Yun passed by the training room just now, his longing and eager eyes could not deceive anyone. Prince Wang could see it right away.

"Yes, Brother Cong, to be honest, let alone the club, even our team members' average salary is several times higher than that of Brother Feng and others."

Gu Yun stretched out his hand and compared the numbers to Mr. Wang.

Prince Wang's eyes widened in disbelief.

The salary offered by ig is already among the top in the industry. How can your team members earn such an income?

How much money does it cost to win a game? How much money does it cost to get sponsored by advertisers? Are you a club or a charity?

"Brother, the price you offer is a bit too much. It's not that we, IG, can't afford it. There's nothing like this in the industry."

Prince Wang didn't understand.

"Brother Cong, you treat players as athletes now, so you only have player contracts." Gu Yun raised the matcha latte on the table and took a sip, "But I think the role of the club in the future and the value of the players are far more than that.

, so what I signed was not just a player contract, but also a manager contract.”

Player contract, that is, as a player in major e-sports competitions, in layman's terms, it means joining a certain team as a professional e-sports athlete. Generally, this type of contract only makes relevant provisions for training, team formation, and playing games. Compared with

The special clause is the transfer clause, which is similar to the transfer rules for football players.

As for the agency contract, this type of contract is similar to the artist's full agency contract, that is, all endorsements, performances, business activities, etc. related to the player, including game live broadcasts, all belong to the agency. Most of these agencies are the clubs where the players belong.

, or maybe in other brokerage companies.

Prince Wang fell into deep thought.

Gu Yun added: "At present, a large part of the source of high income for players is live broadcast sharing and gifts. In this case, the value and influence of players will also rise. The future direction will not only be e-sports players, but also become e-sports players."

Personal brand.”

"For example, Liu Xing of our team is the leading outdoor anchor of Douyu. He alone accounts for half of Douyu Outdoor. Do you think such a player is still a pure e-sports athlete? No, he is on the Internet.

His influence is actually no less than that of a third-tier star."

"Is the live broadcast so awesome?"

Prince Wang raised his head and asked.

"It's pretty awesome. If you don't believe me, you can just find someone to try it. I think Brother Feng in your team is quite talented in live broadcasting."

"Brother Feng? He usually doesn't talk much and is like a piece of wood. What kind of talent can he have?"

Mr. Wang curled his lips, as if he wasn't sure about YYF's live streaming talent.

At the same time, he was also very tempted by the prospect of integrated e-sports live broadcasting mentioned by Gu Yun.

Compared with the live broadcast platform pandaTV he founded later, this heartbeat came three years earlier.
