Chapter 12 Commercialization of Alliances

"Looking forward to the new season, the most authoritative analysis of the League of Legends."

"In this show, we are fortunate to invite last season's champion, the Canglan team!"

With the warm cheers of the audience, the Canglan team led by Qu Liang made their debut in various lights.

After a brief greeting, the host said: "Goddess Qu Liang, thank you for bringing us a lot of wonderful games in the past year, the aftermath of the playoffs has not passed, many people are immersed in the vicissitudes of the championship, and then can you share your feelings with us now?" ”

Qu Liang herself is not as gentle as her name at all, she is wearing a silver-gray windbreaker, her legs are folded, and her body leans forward slightly after hearing the host's question, this action is elegant and handsome made by her.

"So, anyway, I'm very happy about it, after all, it's a recognition of our efforts this year. But that's in the past, it's the glory of the past, and it's next season that really counts. ”

"Xue Lang is also an experienced player, and you seem to be more and more comfortable in your career, I heard that after the competition, you jumped around the field frog. At that time, it was seen by many staff, and it was also a big hit when you were exposed on the Internet afterwards. Can you share with us what you thought at the time......"

Almost everyone smiled, and even the corners of Qu Liang's mouth, who had always been strict, hooked up a smile.

"Oh, it's not weird." Xue Lang scratched his head and complained, "I made a mistake on the field and was punished like this." ”

"It's clear that it's repeated teachings." Jiang Chenxi, who was sitting on the side, said, "Xue Lang's wizard is obviously an auxiliary profession, and he prefers to treat himself as an output, so Lang deserves to be punished." ”

The host also laughed, "It is rumored that the Canglan team is a very depressed team internally, but it seems that everyone's relationship is very good." ”

"If you win the award, you can't compare to a group of in the clouds." Qu Liang said lightly.

Lin Che, the captain of the floating clouds in front of the TV, squirted out the water he had just drunk on the spot.

"I'm going to wipe it off, it's definitely a personal attack! Personal Attack! Alliance, I demand rights protection! ”

In the interview, Vice President Jiang Chenxi talked eloquently about Canglan's future plans, Qu Liang didn't say much, and two of the three sentences were ridicule or personal attacks (Fuyun Lin Che), but the attitude expressed in it was also very clear, and Canglan was full of confidence in the next season.

This kind of confidence is not a spectacle, Canglan with three all-star players is undoubtedly outstanding in terms of high-end strength, and their captain Qu Liang, although the overall strength may not be comparable to other teams, such as Xu Hefeng, the captain of the Sky team, but her comprehensive value is very high - such as commercial value. Beauties, star players, captains, these few are enough to make many fans crazy.

And all these determine the attitude of the club and the investors behind the club towards the team. So whether it's hard power or soft power, coupled with Canglan's championship last season, this makes Canglan a terrible team.

"However, we noticed that Sun Wenbo, who played in the finals, did not come to the scene this time, which is really a pity." The host said, "Sun Wenbo defeated Jiang Yuhuan in the ring, which surprised many viewers. After all, Sun Wenbo can be regarded as a veteran, and it is really rare to maintain this state and technology at this age. ”

"Well, indeed." Qu Liang nodded, "Sun Wenbo is a respectable player, and I am glad that he is our companion." However, he doesn't like to be in front of the public, believing that it will affect his daily life, so he usually does not participate in such events. ”

"But Sun Wenbo was originally transferred from the Dynasty to Canglan, I heard that there are some □□, can the Qu team reveal it?" The moderator asked.

The host felt that he was dazzled, because for a moment Qu Liang seemed to be sneering, but when he looked closely, she was the usual one.

"There's nothing □□, it's just a normal deal between teams." Qu Liang said lightly, and then she looked directly at the camera, her voice seemed to be a lot colder, "But what I want to say is that although we professional players are public figures, this is the professional circle of "Hero", not the entertainment industry, to put it bluntly, there is nothing if you don't play well, so whether it is hype or scandal, please stop in moderation." ”

This time the show ended with Qu Liang's sentence, and at this moment, both professional players and ordinary TV viewers began to think about this problem.

To be honest, the alliance in recent years has become less and less pure. With the overall development of esports and the popularity of "Heroes" around the world, the commercialization of the league is also unstoppable. A lot of people want to get into the professional world nowadays, not because they love Heroes so much, but because of something else. Fame, money, beauty, these are the sources of depravity. Professional players know that many people who have just signed a contract or are even just trainees show off their power in front of ordinary players as professional players, and they are happy with their adoring eyes, and there are often beautiful girls who post upside down at this time.

The television station did a special column to discuss this series of controversies.

"There's a lot of this at the bottom of the esports world, and there's something else at the top, like the All-Stars."

According to the captain of a well-known team, the club has strictly affected the team's results for the sake of commercial interests. We all know that esports may be more about the psychology of the players than other sports, 'I just want to ask the owners of those clubs, is it possible for you to arrange so many non-competition-related activities for your players and force them to play every game?' Finally, the captain said to us. ”

"So, sometimes I really admire the retired heavy phoenix." In an interview with Qu Liang, she said, "Although I hate many aspects of her - oh, don't put on this face, big brother, it's not a secret in the circle, it's just that I'm more direct - well, I mean she was able to refuse a Qiē appearance, I think it's not just because she was the soul of the dynasty at the time, I guess she also gave up a lot of commercial interests as a price." ”

"Esports should be commercialized." Zhang Yunhe, chairman of the alliance, said firmly in the face of reporters' questions: "This is the inevitable result of the development of the alliance, e-sports should become a major industry, and various systems should be further improved." Esports is a stage where dreams come true, and commercialization can bring more people to the stage. Moreover, commercialization is also conducive to the society's open and transparent supervision of the e-sports circle, making Chinese e-sports more in line with international e-sports. ”

The famous critic Ah Jiu obviously has a different opinion on this, "In recent years, excessive utilitarianism has seriously affected the entire alliance. Utilitarianism has penetrated into almost every corner of the game, which is the inevitable result of commercialization, which is bound to kill the classics, which is also our common sorrow. ”

And the critic He Xi, who is known for his sharpness and ruthlessness, wrote unceremoniously: "The spirit of the older generation of professional players has been lost to the younger generation, and just because you play well as a hero does not mean that you deserve respect elsewhere." It's like the Jiang Yuhuan who was praised by the media this year, jumping up and down all day long to accumulate fame, just like a zoo monkey, funny, laughing and generous. ”

This comment was really ruthless, but Jiang Yuhuan seemed very calm in the interview that day.

"No, no, no, I'm not angry, I'm just ......," Jiang Yuhuan pondered for a while and said in the face of the reporter's question, "I was just stunned." ”

"Commercialization of alliances? I don't understand it, but it seems to be very powerful...... Well, I'm a science student, right. ”

"That kind of thing, it's a mutually beneficial thing, I don't have any opinions, maybe it has something to do with the overall environment of the dynasty, I don't want to participate and no one forces me to participate."

"By the way, I also want to have a word with that critic named He Xi."

The reporter immediately came to the spirit, "What words?" ”

"I'm Teddy, not a monkey." Jiang Yuhuan said seriously to the camera, "Only Teddy can be worthy of the cute me." Well. That's it. ”

In such a bunch of strict discussions, such a strange person suddenly appeared, and he was interviewed by himself, and the reporter comrade was also drunk.

Ji Jundie and Shen Yongsi in front of the computer were also a little drunk.

These were out of reach of Shen Yongsi before, but now they seem to be closer...... Although this is a problem in professional circles, it is also a tempting worry for ordinary people.

They don't have to worry about this now, for Shen Yongsi, the competitive competition being held is the point.

The two of them passed the test along the way, and it was still very smooth. Ji Jundie's heavy swordsman and Shen Yongsi's archers are also cooperating more and more tacitly, and Shen Yongsi's personal skills are also constantly improving.

Originally, he had reached a bottleneck, but after continuous run-in with Ji Jundie, and in the battle with the professional players found by Ji Jundie, he saw more and more and more experience.

"Rub, boy." The heavy swordsman in the team, whose ID is the Hundred Battles Territory, typed, "It's getting more and more insidious. ”

Ji Jundie smiled and didn't speak.

The territory of a hundred battles is Song Zefeng in July.

Song Zefeng found Ji Jundie after that, and Ji Jundie didn't directly say that he wanted to join the July team, but he revealed that meaning to Song Zefeng. There was nothing to see in the preseason, so Song Zefeng simply went to the arena with her, after all, whether it was Chonghuang, Jiang Yuhuan and Ren Sheng, they were all players who were rare for him to compete together on weekdays.

And then add a grassroots player who has made rapid progress, the archer Qing Ben Beauty. According to Ji Jundie, this is the newcomer she intends to bring to the circle.

As for whether that Qingben beauty will join the July team, Song Zefeng has no bottom in his heart. After all, he is a veteran player for many years, Song Zefeng's vision is still relatively vicious, although the current strength of Qingben Beauty is not a first-line player, but the potential he reveals makes Song Zefeng feel shocked. Besides, the strength of the beautiful lady is enough to play the starting role in a team like July.

But Song Zefeng's insidious evaluation of Shen Yongsi is a little inappropriate, Shen Yongsi is a serious person, and his battles are carried out step by step according to precise calculations, so Song Zefeng accidentally fell into Shen Yongsi's trap during that competition, and a veteran player like him must have been a little unable to pull down such a big heel in front of a professional newcomer, so he complained to Ji Jundie like this.

In the previous league, e-sports professional players were either facial paralysis or chatter, like Sun Wenbo had more facial paralysis, but Song Zefeng was a true nag.

Ji Jundie took off her headphones, looked at Shen Yongsi who was contemplative on the side and asked, "How is it?" ”

"This person is crazy......" Shen Yongsi recalled how he felt when he fought in the 1v1 arena just now.

"Oh? This kind of Cheng dù shouldn't make you too passive? "Song Zefeng is also a heavy swordsman player, although his fight is wonderful, but in front of Chonghuang, the king of heavy swordsmen, it is a little unsightly.

"I mean, the only thing I remember after the fight is his demonic laughter." Shen Yongsi said with a deep groan.

Ji Jundie: "......"

"Commercialization of the Alliance?" Asked about the recent boiling topics in the professional circle, Song Zefeng said to Ji Jundie in the game, "Second-tier players like us still wish they were commercialized." ”

This sentence speaks to the hearts of all second-tier professional players.

Esports is a stage of success and defeat, and there are 14 teams in the league, and only 8 teams have made the playoffs, and only one team can win in the end. How many pros does the league have? But there are only a dozen celebrities. Behind the darkness of those radiant star players, there are still many people who are working silently, looking forward to one day being like them. Whether it's dominating the battlefield like them, or being like them, worrying about something that you envy right now.
