The $100 million prize pool has swept the esports circle, and this is the first time in the history of esports that an event has raised the prize pool to this extent.

The previous highest was the OTA2 International held by Steam, and the prize pool was only a little over $20 million.

Now Epic has fivefolded that prize pool, and the winning team can win $40 million!

Countless people's eyes are red, and countless people's hearts are excited.

Even if one club takes half of it, each team member will get at least $5 million.

$5 million is definitely a lot, and many game champions don't have this reward.

The PUBG Championship has become the hottest topic in the esports world.

Do you want to become a multi-millionaire?

Soderlaide marketed the slogan to esports fans around the world, in exchange for a meteoric surge in PUBG sales.

It seems that Shen Lang lost 100 million US dollars, but in exchange for a more valuable gold mine.

As long as you don't die, the PUBG Championship will surely become another hot league in esports.

PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Championship outside of China is all in charge of Soderlaide.

Bai Yan of Star Interactive Entertainment is mainly responsible for the preparation of domestic events and the selection of venues.

Shen Lang also felt a little that Soderlaide's ambitions were huge, and the huge bonus incentives naturally aroused inquiries from many investors.

But when the real rules of the game were revealed, everyone gasped.

It's so expensive!

Admission alone costs $25 million, so why don't you die?

Many people scolded Soderlaide for being black-hearted, and Soderade also explained.

"First of all, our goal was to sell the PUBG Championship as a commodity, and we were selling great matches. ”

This explanation makes many investors think,

This is no longer simply relying on PUBG, but using PUBG as a carrier.

What is sold is a wonderful game, and what is earned is a high broadcast fee.

This is the same as the NBA, NFL and other super leagues in the United States.

It's just that these leagues have taken decades to get where they are today, and the PUBG Championship still has a long way to go.

Soderlaide and Bai Yan negotiated a result of 10 places in North America and 6 places in Asia, with a home-and-away system.

North America and Asia will face each other in turn, with the top eight players in the standings advancing to the playoffs for the final championship trophy.

The 25 million US dollars in admission qualifications have been converted into more than 100 million yuan, which is a game that only real billionaires can afford.

Many domestic and foreign media have reprinted it, and the popularity of the PUBG Championship remains high.

Coupled with the phenomenal sales on Epic, more and more fans are looking forward to this high-profile esports event.

Principal Wang was the first to post on micro news: "IG will form a team, welcome powerful players to vote, and the treatment is good." ”

Suddenly, the following fans swiped the screen to leave a message.

"666, sure enough, the principal has to come out, this event is much more advanced than LPL, and billionaires can't afford to play. ”

"Support the principal, support IG. ”

"With such an expensive admission qualification, can there be so many bigwigs to support it?"

……

The qualification alone is $25 million, not to mention the cost of a home and away flight, which is not enough to beat $30 million.

Lin Jun and Wan Zihao also jointly funded the purchase of a place, established the MG club, and also openly recruited powerful players on the micro news.

Following Shen Lang to make so much money, Lin Jun also felt that he should repay Shen Lang.

Lin Jun and Wan Zihao discussed, and directly took out half of it and set up a club.

"MG Club recruits powerful players, with an annual salary of five million, and those with strength come!"

Lin Jun's rare number of fans has risen so fast, and Lin Jun's micro news certification is the chairman of the MG club.

As Lin Jun posted a Weibo, Principal Wang also reposted and liked it.

Lin Jun's fans are also rising, and there are many messages sent by netizens in the background.

Of the six places in Asia, two were eliminated in an instant.

Soon these netizens knew how simple the world of local tyrants is.

The official account of the snake club on micro news publicly starred in Shen Lang: "Our club also wants a place, and officially recruits powerful players, and everyone is welcome to sign up." ”

"I'll go, the son of the rare earth king is really awesome, a place is trivial. ”

Before many netizens could finish their feelings, they saw someone entertaining each other in the starry sky.

This time it is also an acquaintance of many netizens, Zhu Aide, the boss of EG, who has tens of billions of assets at home.

In the blink of an eye, there are only two of the six places in Asia.

The $25 million entrance fee is high, but some people can see the doorway.

If the PUBG Championship were to run successfully, $25 million would be a bargain.

It may even be possible to add more teams next season, and the number of places will exceed this price.

The remaining two places were divided between Bangzi Country and Netwing, and Netwing established an e-sports club.

and named the Net Pterodactyl Team, Shen Lang almost died of laughter, but as long as Net Wing paid the money, it didn't matter how he operated.

If you don't meet the qualifications in the later stage, as the game organizer, Shen Lang can kick the net wing out at any time.

The dust has settled on the quota in Asia, and the North American region has also caused a scramble for places, and many traditional sports investors have made a move.

Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Rams boss Stanklenk was the first to take the North American spot.

Michael Jordan, the god of basketball, joins his friends to buy a spot and form a club.

Soderlaide's bright future has led many investors to spend a lot of money.

The 10 slots are all veteran investors in the traditional sports field, and they all know the benefits of making an event bigger.

Spend $25 million now, and you can easily earn it back later.

As long as the event is popular, the broadcast rights will naturally be expensive, and the NBA and other American league events all started like this.

Soderride and Bai Yan were busy planning venues with these investors.

In the early stage, the home-and-away system can be suspended first, and the game will be concentrated in a fixed competition venue.

However, waiting for next season, with the completion of the competition venues, the home-and-away system will also be officially launched.

The big pie of the esports market is huge, and there are many people who are interested in investing.

The cost of running a club is indeed high, but as long as you can survive the upfront expenses, there may not be no opportunities to make money.

All sixteen places were sold out, and Soderlaide reported to Shen Lang another good news that the live broadcast rights were sold to Titch.

In order to consolidate his position as the world's No. 1 live streaming platform, Titch's offer won the hearts of Soderlaide.

100 million US dollars in two years, won the exclusive broadcast rights, but only outside the Chinese region.

This offer is higher than the previous price of signing with Overwatch, which is also due to the popularity of PUBG and the strength of Epic as an operator.

Shen Lang is very satisfied with Soderlaide, the total investment of the PUBG Championship is only 100 million US dollars, and the sponsorship fee and live broadcast copyright fee alone are sold for 200 million US dollars.

If you count the sixteen places, that's another $400 million.

Now alone, he has made a net profit of 500 million US dollars, and Shen Lang feels that he is really digging the right person.

Soderlaide is creating a mountain of gold for himself!
