Chapter 1317: Zhao Xiayang retired
The IC club won the runner-up of WEM, which attracted the attention of the world, and Ye Tian became the world's first recognized AK machine gunner, surpassing TK in an all-round way. After the game, Ye Tian returned with the players that afternoon, and did not stay to play in Hangzhou, nor did he have a celebration banquet with Jiang Yuhan and them.
The game press who wanted to give him an exclusive interview was also rejected by him, although he was so popular that it was time to strike while the iron was hot, but he chose to leave in a low-key manner, and now is not the time to enjoy flowers and applause, because he has never been able to win the World Championship. He's going back to train and take his players to the next challenge, and the prize money for this competition is not much, and of course everyone can share even less.
Ye Tian simply didn't want his share, and gave it all to the players, because he felt that leaving the team was always a debt to these players, and these people have been following him, especially those substitutes, even if they can't play, no one has said that they want to leave.
He wanted to make money for these people as soon as possible so that he could leave with peace of mind. In fact, this tournament has made the IC club more well-known, because it is an international event, so it has attracted much attention, and it has won the second place in the world, and of course it has attracted more attention in China.
The increase in the popularity of the team also means that the fame of these professional players has also increased, in addition to Ye Tian, the most popular are naturally the two beautiful players, just the appearance can attract a large number of fans, after WEM, the number of fan groups of the two female players is quite large, and the popularity has soared.
Although Toms's performance on WEM is not very eye-catching, he has also gained a large number of fans because of his appearance, only Zhao Xiayang is slightly worse, but there are also people who like him. After Ye Tian found that Zhenzhen and Nalan Rong's popularity soared, he immediately suggested that the two open an online store to sell computer peripherals such as mice and keyboards, and at the same time record videos to explain, using their popularity to create benefits, this is the so-called fan economy.
Zhenzhen and Nalan Rong also immediately adopted Ye Tian's suggestion, opened their own peripheral stores on Taobao Jingdong and other e-commerce platforms, and then recorded videos to explain, both of them are sweet people, and the click-through rate of the commentary video is super high, and even Loli, the goddess of the commentary circle, is ashamed of herself.
The two advertised their website in the video, which is the consistent routine of all the commentators, and of course the fans are also very popular, anyway, they sometimes need to buy things like mouse, where to buy it, why not buy it in their goddess's store?
And some of the mice and keyboards recommended by the two are relatively easy to use, the price is not expensive, and the cost performance is very high, and many players have immediately abandoned their original set of equipment and bought a new set in their store.
The two of them made a lot of money within a month of opening the store, and it is not a problem to have an annual income of more than one million. And Toms also imitates this way of making money, although his popularity is not as good as the two female players, but it is still very high, plus his appearance of a foreigner to explain CF is more attractive, many people want to see how this foreigner explains, after watching the video, I found that he spoke fluent Chinese, all of them were very surprised, one spread ten, ten spread hundred, and suddenly his video became popular, and his Taobao store naturally had a good business.
Seeing that these three people have made a lot of money, Zhao Xiayang is very red-eyed, but his popularity is not enough, what should he do? He thinks it's better not to open a store first, start with the commentary, if the video he explains can become popular, it's not too late to open a store then.
I didn't expect this guy's eloquence to be good, a person who usually looks very boring, he stays at home and watches TV series all day long, and he doesn't talk much, who knows that the language is quite rich and humorous when he explains the video, and he has attracted a lot of fans, known as Guo Degang in the commentary industry, a super joker.
When the popularity of the video rose to a terrible level, Zhao Xiayang naturally opened his own online store, making a lot of money and smiling from ear to ear. These things still happened before the TGA competition, Ye Tian saw that the players were able to make money on their own, and his heart was much more relaxed, now he only needs to wait until TK retires, he can join the NB team immediately, I believe that by that time, the players will not blame him.
Ye Tilt is the most popular one in the IC club, his AK marksmanship has conquered countless fans, causing a wave of AK craze in CF, many people discarded the gun they were used to and chose to change to AK47, they feel that this gun is simply divine in Ye Tilt's hands, the headshot is super **, more than those guns in M4, even snipers are afraid of AK machine gunners.
The appearance of Ye Tilt has completely changed the pattern in CF, in the past, snipers were the most deterrent existence in the game, and the long-distance situation was simply a nightmare for machine gunners, but now it is different, Ye Tilt's AK47 has become a sniper's nightmare, with 70kg and Jiang Yuhan being shot in the head by him one after another, the rest of the snipers feel that there is no chance of winning a head-to-head battle with Ye Tilt.
Before the appearance of Ye Tilt, the most popular guns in the game were generally M4 and sniper rifles, and some guns such as AUG, Thomson, XM8, and AN94 were more popular than AK. The reason why AK is not popular is because the recoil of this gun is large, the trajectory is relatively difficult to master, and it requires strong operation ability to be able to play this gun well, so there are very few people who play AK in the passerby bureau, and it was not until later that there were guns like bayonet AK and fire unicorn that people began to play AK.
Now players suddenly found that AK can be so violent, even snipers don't pay attention to it, they have a new understanding of AK, and all this is because of the appearance of Ye Tian.
Of course, Ye Tian will not waste his popularity, after returning to Chengdu, he is the first person to open an online store, and he did not record a video to explain, just with the existing popularity, the business of the online store is also quite good. His die-hard supporters were keen to buy what he had in store, and many came to ask him what mouse and keyboard he used, and how much his mouse sensitivity was set.
Those who bought things also left messages asking Ye Tilt to point out the skills of hitting AK, Ye Tilt was not stingy, and replied to them very patiently, pointing out how they used the AK47 gun, in fact, the skills are very simple to say, but whether they can master it depends on everyone's talent.
There are not many people who can practice AK marksmanship to the pinnacle, and there are only a handful of people in the entire professional circle, just a few people. Ye Tilt is now this kind of achievement is only afraid that future generations will be difficult to surpass, his marksmanship is truly the ultimate realm, and it is still improving, approaching the unattainable realm in the legend, the gun headshot is the ultimate realm pursued by all machine gunners, but no one can do it, and no one can do it, it can only be infinitely close, and Ye Tilt is undoubtedly the closest person to that realm in today's professional circle.
Ye Tian now makes far more money than his salary when he opens a store, and he doesn't rely on his salary at all to live, and he can be regarded as a rare successful person in the professional circle. After WEM, there are more and more merchants who are looking for him to endorse and negotiate sponsorship, and the prices have increased significantly.
Ye Tian's fame has increased greatly, so that the products of those cooperative merchants have also increased their sales, and they are selling quite well, and the price they negotiated when they cooperated was undoubtedly quite cheap. However, Ye Tian is also very smart, he only promised to sign for one year at that time, and now his value has risen, and the contract will be re-signed after a year, and the price will definitely be different at that time.
Ye Tian is now not short of money at all, and he has become the most high-profile professional player in the professional circle today, and the commercial value is also the highest. Despite this, he did not stop training and trained harder, because he knew that it was all based on his own strength, and if his strength was not good, the appearance of these scenery would disappear.
He's got to keep himself at the top of his game, and he's going to have to keep improving, and he's going to be the first person in history, not only before but ever since.
After WEM, the team practiced hard, but Ye Tian obviously felt that Zhao Xiayang and Thomas were lax in training, both of them opened online stores to make money, and Zhao Xiayang was more inclined to be a commentator because of his lack of strength, because the video he explained was very popular, and the reason why the online store was able to generate revenue was also thanks to the promotion of the video. He didn't want to play anymore and wanted to be a full-time commentator, but he didn't dare to tell Ye Tian about this idea, so he had to continue to stay in the team, but his mind was all on the commentary video.
In fact, many well-known commentators are not professional players, they have not even played a professional game, but it does not prevent them from becoming popular commentators at all, such as Loli, she has never played a professional game, nor has she been a professional player, but she still has gained high popularity.
There are also many precedents for changing from a professional player to being a commentator, Zhao Xiayang has a talent in commentary, and it is reasonable to want to be a commentator. When the TGA competition was coming, Ye Tian couldn't help it, so he talked to Toms and Zhao Xiayang respectively.
After talking, Thomas said that he wanted to stay, he still wanted to be a professional player, and Zhao Xiayang decided to leave the team and go to a full-time commentary after making it clear to Ye Tian, Ye Tian did not force him, so Zhao Xiayang retired and became a signed commentator for a game media.
Zhao Xiayang's position was topped by Tian Peng, and in the subsequent main battle, Tian Peng also proved his strength and kept the position of the main force, but Thomas was unfortunately reduced to a substitute, and it was Chao Nan who replaced him. Thomas didn't feel annoyed, he didn't concentrate in training, and it was a matter of time before people surpassed, not to mention that Chaonan himself was very talented and had been working hard, and now it was a matter of course to replace him as the main force.
