"Yes, as long as you used to be a league-registered professional player and retired normally, you can get this kind of protection, of course, you need to apply."

"Just apply and be approved?" Although Du Xiaoxiao also knows about the retirement guarantee plan, the details are not clear.

"Of course not."

Lu Zhe said: "First of all, you have to live in difficulty, and then, according to your application, the alliance will send someone to your home to confirm the situation, as long as it is confirmed that your current income cannot guarantee your living needs, it will give you a monthly payment according to the actual situation for three years." ”

"After three years, you can continue to apply, and as long as you meet the conditions, you will continue to be issued."

"You can apply every three years if you want until you die."

"This one is really cool." Du Xiaoxiao said with some envy.

"And this money is a lot, although it is talking about the basic guarantee of life, but the family's food, clothing, housing and transportation, including children's tuition fees and occasional travel, are completely enough."

"That's an exaggeration."

"The retirement guarantee program has been implemented for a long time, when many professional players were unable to make a living after retiring, and this alone hindered many people's dreams, so although the professional league was not as rich as it is now, it also gritted its teeth and launched this plan in order to encourage others to join the professional circle without worries."

"And, as exaggerated as it sounds, very few people actually apply." Lu Zhedao.

"Why?" Du Xiaoxiao asked.

"First of all, you must be really poor and unable to survive without the help of the league, otherwise, once you are found to have made a false report, you will be removed from the honor list of professional players, not to mention, you will be held accountable for fraud, and you may be imprisoned in a more serious way."

"Also, people want to save face, the professional players who used to have unlimited scenery, but in the end they were reduced to eating the league's subsistence allowance, and ordinary people are not at the end of the road, basically they will not take this step, and now the welfare security of various countries is not bad, and many people are not eligible to apply if they want to."

"If I remember correctly, it seems that in the past 10 years, only five or six people in the world have applied for this retirement guarantee."

Lu Zhe didn't know much about these contents, after all, his career path in his previous life was extremely brilliant, and he didn't need to think about this aspect at all.

Du Xiaoxiao sighed: "Even so, the league is still righteous enough for the players. ”

Lu Zhe said with a smile: "It's not bad to say righteousness, but the main thing is mutual benefit." ”

"What do you say?" Du Xiaoxiao was puzzled.

"What do you think the Global Esports Pro League is?" Lu Zhe asked.

"Isn't it an industry association?"

"Can industry associations hire international lobbying teams to harden national legislatures?"

"Uh......" Du Xiaoxiao obviously never thought about this kind of thing.

"If you really want to count it, the professional league should be one of the largest capital consortia in the world." Lu Zhedao.

"Do they have any source of income?" Du Xiaoxiao wondered.

Lu Zhe didn't answer positively, but asked: "Have you thought about it, why the game keeps changing, but the professions and skill attributes in the game have never changed, and even if they do, it's only a little bit of a slight change made by the professional league every few years, and the last time there was a major change in various professional skills, it was more than 20 years ago." ”

"No matter how the game changes, the nine major professions will always stand, and professional players don't have to re-adapt to new professional skills as soon as a new game comes out."

"These are the consequences of strong interference by professional leagues."

Du Xiaoxiao was puzzled: "Why do you say the alliance is doing this?" ”

Lu Zhedao: "Since it is capital, of course it is for profit. ”

"There are two aspects to protect the biggest interests of the league, one is professional players, which is not difficult to understand, as long as you control all clubs and professional players, you can indirectly control the game company and even the entire game industry chain."

"How is this going to be done?" Du Xiaoxiao's own family is also in business, and she has a little understanding of the operation of capital.

"You're going to knock me down, if I knew so clearly, I would have made a fortune a long time ago." Lu Zhe said with a smile.

Du Xiaoxiao rarely thinks about some questions, thinks about it and says: "I have never understood why clubs and professional players should obey the orders of the professional league, obviously they are not the relationship between superiors and subordinates." ”

Lu Zhedao: "Actually, it is very easy to understand, if every new game is released, the players have to relearn and adapt, then the replacement of personnel will be very fast, for the players, of course, it is disadvantageous, to put it bluntly, every active professional player is a vested interest under the rule of the league, and of course will stand on the same position." ”

"What about the club?" Su Ying suddenly interjected and asked.

"It's better to understand that if you know that almost all the major clubs around the world have stakes in the professional leagues, there won't be such a fuss."

"Huh?" Obviously, even a game veteran like Du Xiaoxiao doesn't know these things very well.

"Others don't know, but as far as I know, Faith holds a 3% stake in the Alliance." Lu Zhedao.

"What about the two major interests of the alliance you are talking about, in addition to the players?" Du Xiaoxiao asked.

"Game pod." Lu Zhe said directly.

"Game pod?"

"Yes, the world's largest game cabin manufacturer, the big boss behind it, is the professional league."

"I'd like to know a little bit about this, but I haven't thought about it that much before."

"The keyboard and operation mode of the game cabin are all designed together, so you will find that the game cabin has not changed for many years."

"Because once there is a change, it will cost to redesign and renovate, right?" Du Xiaoxiao said.

"That's right."

"Hey." Du Xiaoxiao sighed: "Actually, I don't think it's a good thing for the prosperity of the entire game industry. ”

Lu Zhe also sighed: "Many years ago, there was a period of time when the game industry was full of flowers, at that time, all kinds of mobile games, casual games abounded, and even some real-time strategy games have surpassed the trend of MMORPG, but in the end, they were all wiped out by professional leagues by various means. ”

"Is this necessary? Can't the professional league adapt to the times on its own, and must use this means of eradicating dissidents? Du Xiaoxiao frowned.

"Capitalists will have long-term plans, but capital itself will only take care of immediate interests."

"There's no right or wrong in the first place."

"And it's true that the professional league has single-handedly brought the entire gaming industry to where it is today, and that's an undeniable credit."

"Maybe a hundred years from now, people will look back and see that it was the most glorious era of the gaming industry, but also the darkest era."
