Chapter 685: The Commercialized Esports Circle

You know, this is still the condition of the official TX competition! Not to mention the conditions for those small competitions held by other companies. Appalling!

At that time, I don't know how many professional players slept on the street and lived a life where they could only afford instant noodles all day.

At that time, the e-sports circle was so dilapidated, where did professional players have such a beautiful scenery now, at that time, they were no different from ordinary Internet addicted teenagers, just like rats crossing the street, wherever they went, after being found to be professional players, all they got were some discrimination and contempt. At that time, when the contestants took pictures before the competition, they all seemed very restrained, and they couldn't put on any pose, not because they were particularly shy or anything, but because they subconsciously thought that this was a job that would not be recognized by the society, and that they could not be known by relatives and friends.

At that time, when I participated in the competition, I didn't feel any attention at all, and I didn't think of myself as a star at all. In the terrible and harsh conditions, those who were able to persist in the struggle were the first batch of professional players who were really worthy of respect because of their dreams. At that time, there were not so many intrigues between the players and the players, everyone sympathized with each other and admired each other, and the brothers at that time were really real brothers.

But now, those teams on the LPL take promotional photos, and those photos of the players reveal all confidence, and it is a thing that makes them feel very proud to walk out in team uniforms on the street, unlike before, when professional players walked on the street and did not dare to raise their heads.

Low self-esteem and self-confidence, a stark contrast.

It's hard to say how many of today's professional players are still fighting for their dreams, after all, the annual salary of today's players is so high, there may be many people who play professionally purely for money. This is also known as a bastard.

Of course, this kind of person has a zài in any era, even when the salary conditions were not very good in the past, when the monthly salary was only a few thousand yuan, the entire e-sports circle was also full of a large number of bastard-type players.

Liu Songnian has personally experienced the entire glorious process of the e-sports industry from the initial dilapidation to today's commercialization. Although the environment at the time when Liu Songnian first started playing professionally was much better than before, most clubs were still in a state of lack of money at that time, at that time, in the entire LOL world, only WE was profitable, and all the others were losing money, and the royal family was even in a state of poverty for a time, when the royal family went to the United States to participate in the S3 World Finals, because they went to the United States for a period of time, Riot did not arrange a training venue, and as a result, the royal family couldn't even afford the Internet café fee at that time.

And now, as more and more people see the business opportunities in the esports circle and join this circle, the situation of clubs and professional players is many times better than before. Liu Songnian can say with a clear conscience that he chose this path completely out of a dream at the beginning, but now, he can continue to struggle, is it really all because of his dream? Or how much is it because of the high salary they have in their hands?

It turns out that the reason why I feel that the relationship between Cher and me has become estranged is actually my own problem?

Oh, yes! Whether I admit it or not, I'm sure I've been influenced to some extent by today's increasingly commercial esports scene.

But what do I have to do to get back to the very beginning of the stage where I trusted each other and talked about everything?

"I need to calm down, it's not your fault, it's my fault." Liu Songnian pushed open the door, and then turned around and admonished, "Don't go out casually anymore, I'll go out and reflect carefully, and I'll give you a perfect answer when I come back." ”

"Actually, you don't need such a ......" Xue'er obviously didn't expect that her words would give Liu Songnian such a big psychological burden, and she was a little guilty at the moment.
