Chapter XVII: Elimination Mechanism

"Are you Li Yongjun?" asked a middle-aged man with a three-star badge.

"Yes. Li Yongjun nodded and replied. The person on the other side was very domineering, but Li Yongjun didn't care very much.

All the people in the Samsung family are basically walking sideways in South Korea.

In addition to the two classes of aristocrats in the past, the current business and political authorities, except for the Americans, in this era when the lifeblood of the entire Korean economy is in the hands of the consortium, there is no reason why the immediate family of the consortium should not be arrogant.

For example, Li Yongjun, if he hadn't played the game well, he might not have had the opportunity to talk to a department head of a Samsung descendant in his life.

This domineering middle manager did not come from a good background, and his family had been a grain merchant for generations.

Although they do not die of hunger, once they encounter any famine, disaster year, war and chaos, it is always the grain merchant who is the first to be killed.

Those big grain merchants may have two classes of nobles and foreigners as backers, but who are the small grain merchants?

However, no matter how miserable it is, the whole family will starve to death.

However, so you think that his family was once a good person?

How can there be a good person when a grain merchant, the big bucket is close to the small bucket, even if the government and the army buy grain, it will be miserable.

Even to the soldiers, a bag of rice can sift out half a bag of sand.

Are they all adulterated by grain merchants? No.

Are grain merchants innocent? Not innocent.

Although the days are not rich and expensive, this middle-level still studied abroad with the support of his family. I didn't go to the close place, but to the United States, which is far across the ocean.

When he came back from school, it coincided with Samsung's overseas business, especially in the United States. Having lived in the United States and knowing English, he joined the Samsung consortium in this way.

He felt that he was able to work at Samsung because of his own efforts, knowing that although it is easy to go to college in the United States, it is difficult to graduate from college.

You can earn tuition when you go to college, but if you graduate from college, you will be scum, but you will smash the university's signboard.

I worked so hard and worked so hard to get into Samsung, why can this little cub who is only a domestic high school graduate and has no skills to enter Samsung directly?

He wanted to make things difficult for the boy in front of him, but he didn't dare to do so.

Why not?

Because of the video game league, not only the top is staring at it, but even the Americans are staring at it.

You know, the main event of the video game league that will be held this time is an American game.

He couldn't afford to provoke either his boss or the Yankees, so he didn't resort to violence, he raised his head and said with a hypocritical smile, "After you enter Samsung, you must win glory for Samsung, otherwise, hehe......"

"I promise to work hard!" Li Yongjun immediately assured.

After being made so slightly troubled, Li Yongjun passed the interview session of Samsung, and truly became a member of the Samsung team, and he was also the first contestant of the Samsung team.

The term video game league is novel, and it is indeed novel.

It is precisely because of the novelty that there are not many examples that can be used for reference.

The United States does not have the corresponding advanced experience, and although the Ben side has long had the concept of professional players.

But those professional players are actually not professional enough, and they are generally masters raised by the arcade hall itself. I play when I have a game, and I work part-time when I don't.

What the South Korean top brass wants to do this time is a professional, systematic, club-based large-scale video game league.

How big is that, and how high is the specification?

For now, at least, it appears that the game will be broadcast live on TV stations across the country every week on Friday and Saturday prime time.

The South Korean government wants to make video games look like a sport for European countries to football.

You must know that although various European countries are full of football hooligans, whether it is football leagues, football training, advertising revenue, and stability maintenance effects, they are all first-class sticks.

South Korea has never been stingy to learn from the advanced experience of foreign countries, and they want to learn from the advanced experience of Europe in this time of economic crisis.

And the professional team of each consortium is not only professional players, but also coaches who are responsible for managing daily operations, as well as coaches in tactics, training and other projects.

Even how to sit at the computer desk, how to hold the mouse, and personal image are all in charge of special people.

The grass platform team was hastily built, and although it looked decent, no one knew what the actual effect would be.

In just one month, Lee Yong-jun represented the Samsung team and played his first professional match of StarCraft.

It's an invitational tournament, not a league that says it's good. The reason why it's not a league is because the team's professional players haven't all been assembled yet.

And a team like Samsung, which has already assembled professional players, recruited a large number of trainees when it began to carry out internal elimination.

With his solid basic skills, flexible brain, and the coaching team behind him, Li Yongjun has always maintained the first position in the internal training battle.

It is also for this reason that he represented the professional players of Samsung and SKT, and started a competition.

Without much effort, Lee Yongjun won.

He won easily and seemingly effortlessly.

But those who watch the live broadcast of the game in front of the TV don't know that Li Yongjun has to play 16 hours of "StarCraft" every day, has to play 50 games of basic training every day, has to play 10 sets of internal qualifying, and has a lot of time to summarize strategies and tactics. Even after only a month in the professional team, he already had a wrist injury, and when he went to bed every night, he could only fall asleep when he pressed his hands under his body and was numb.

He is not the only one who works so hard, everyone in the Samsung team is working hard under the crazy elimination mechanism.

Pros compete for the chance to play, and trainees compete for the chance to become pros.

And those losers who lose in the competition will be cleared out of the three-star team, where to go back.

Under such harsh conditions, the strength of the professional players of all Samsung teams has improved very quickly.

Another month has passed, and by this time those who have not joined the team already feel that the StarCraft they play is no longer the same game as the StarCraft played by the pros.

StarCraft for pro players is very tight, and there isn't a second of garbage time from the moment the game starts.

While the strength of the Samsung team is improving, the strength of other teams is also improving. A wonderful game was born in a high-intensity confrontation.

And the wonderful competition also attracted the attention of many Korean youths.
