October 21.

The third match of the quarterfinals, EDG vs. Samsung.

The time was four o'clock in the afternoon, and the location came to the Guangzhou Gymnasium.

The weather in Guangzhou in October is still very hot, and when the big brothers in the Northeast have put on their coats, the short-sleeved friends in Guangzhou are too hot.

The road was full of spectators who came to watch the game today, and the stadium did not check in until 14:30, and the players stayed outside the stadium to play.

It won't be boring to be outside, because the League of Legends official has arranged various entertainment activities early, and there are countless beautiful and sexy cos ladies taking pictures with the summoners.

Who will be bored to be able to watch Guangzhou's hot white legs and big long breasts.

Well, those legs are really long, ah, no, white is really white.

Maybe there is also a possibility of meeting a man who likes to work on the road, and the EDG team, regardless of whether they are male or female, will get together and form a small circle.

Looking at the grand occasion outside the window, Qin Yu, a newcomer who had never participated in the finals, was very excited.

The quarterfinals are like this, and I don't know what the grand finals will be.

In the previous life, Chinese players watched the sad scene of the decisive battle between the two Korean teams in the Bird's Nest, and when they had the ability to change, that experience was indescribable.

Looking at the movements of a certain elder, the sister who was close to the side rolled her eyes.

New?

Do you call the people who are killing indiscriminately on this competition field Meng Xin?

Lee Sang-hyuk and the top orders have a sentence MMP to say.

However, Abu and Mingkai had a fatherly expression of watching the children in the team grow up, and sighed in their hearts;

It is only at this time that he can see the side of the newcomer in Humility, who has not matured in the past, and Ming Kai once wondered if Qin Yu was an old monster reborn into a young body.

Immediately, he dispelled his guess, how could there be such a mysterious thing in the world, it should be that Xiao Qin was more precocious.

"Do we need to go down and meet the fans or something?"

"It's better to say goodbye, it's going to be a game soon, it's not good to make some extra trouble."

Considering that the game time was approaching, Abu rejected the team's offer.

The players only shouted twice from the sidelines, and then watched the EDG race vehicles enter the stadium.

Thousands of spectators lined up to enter, and the scene was so big that many players who came from Europe and the United States sighed that the e-sports atmosphere in China was also strong.

Since the Guangzhou Gymnasium is the venue for the top eight, it is naturally much larger in scale.

Counting the staff, it is more than enough to pretend to be 10,000 people smaller.

At the entrance ticket gate of the competition venue, a large EDG support platform was erected.

Although Abu rejected the team's offer to contact the fans, some support items were prepared in advance, and the free support items provided by the EDG club were placed there for the fans to get what they needed.

It's a benefit that the club gives to its fans.

The only charge among the items is the player's custom signed team uniform, and Humility is the most exaggerated sales ratio.

Some college students didn't have time to grab tickets, so they accompanied their girlfriends outside, looking at the big screen while carefully appeasing.

There is no ticket outside, although there is a big screen to watch, but he is hot.

At this time, there will always be a man or woman wrapped in a mask who walks forward, carefully checks the surroundings, and then quietly comes to your ear, when you think that the other party is going to ask you some indescribable exciting picture, a sentence of brother asking for a ticket will immediately knock you back to reality.

Amid the scolding of college students, these scalpers are vigilant against official crackdowns while looking for big customers they think might buy tickets.

At the scene, when 10,000 people were basically full, it could only be described as a sea of people.

There are seats for nearly 1,000 people in the VIP seats at the front desk alone, Qin Yu stretched out his head to look when he walked past the backstage, according to the official statement, there seems to be a specially provided private room on the top.

It's just that the price is extremely expensive.

"Brother Dog, you said that our club pays so much salary every year, as well as various expenses, can the club earn back a little bit of team uniforms and advertising fees?"

Although Zet was born in South Korea, where e-sports is well-established, he is curious about it.

"Of course, it is impossible to rely only on the fans' money from selling team uniforms, and regular clubs may even post it upside down." Qin Yu smiled, and several other people were also curious when they heard this, and they all came over! After a pause, seeing that Abu didn't stop it, he continued: "For example, the LPL official will share a part of the e-sports broadcast rights revenue to the team every year, simply put, the more people watch your game, the better the results, and the more money this part of the small money." ”

】

"Otherwise, why do you think the previous factory competition and Brother Zaozi's competition would be placed in prime time."

"Hehe, I know this, after all, the pig and dog war." The sister buckle learned to answer.

It was Ming Kai, his eyes were a little embarrassed, to be honest, he hadn't thought about these problems before.

"And what, what else?"

"The second part is naturally endorsement." Pointing to the advertising space that was almost dissatisfied, Qin Yu said: "For a brand sponsor, the purpose of e-sports club sponsorship is nothing more than to increase the exposure of the brand, and in the field of e-sports, the audience will be younger and there is more consumption potential. Therefore, brand sponsorship is a big income for the entire esports club. ”

Abu is noncommittal, for EDG, there is a lot of money for brand sponsorship, and big brands such as Logitech or Mercedes-Benz have cooperated.

Small companies really can't leave a mark on their team uniforms, and this year, because of the relationship between achievements and topics, series such as AJ on team uniforms want to come in and share a wave of traffic.

However, for a big team, brand sponsorship is still not the main thing.

EDG shareholders agreed that if they win the championship in 2017, 50% of the prize money belonging to the club will be taken out, of which 30% will be exclusively enjoyed by the best FMVP of the year, and the rest will be shared by the whole team according to the proportion of contribution.

Abu was very curious about how much Qin Yu, a high-achieving student, knew.

When they came to the lounge, the team members sat down on the sofa one by one, and the staff of the team went to connect with the official and report the player list equipment.

Qin Yu was not in a hurry, took a cup of warm water and drank it, and said loudly regardless of the anxiety of others.

"In fact, the whole league, other clubs dare not say it, but the only one who really makes money in the LPL is our EDG, manager Am I right?"

Abu didn't speak, and Qin Yu acquiesced.

Knocking on his head, Qin Yu said in a strange tone: "Don't you all pay attention to the name of our EDG?" ”

"No~"

Everyone shook their heads.

"There are many companies founded by the boss with the name of EDG, and this is the biggest profit point."

"E-sports doesn't make money, it's the traffic return brought by e-sports to make money."

After talking for a while, seeing that a few people still couldn't understand, Qin Yu stopped the topic.

Professional players are generally not highly educated, except for a few people it is difficult to understand the investment and way of making money in capital, as far as he knows, the boss Edzhu later founded a joint venture with Guangqi Hezhong New Energy has to eat EDG's traffic benefits.

EDG's annual web searches in 2016 reached a staggering 10 billion.

The word 4396 alone has contributed tens of millions of nearly 100 million levels of traffic, which is comparable to other advertisements?

Ahem, it shouldn't be my factory.

Let's talk about it, everyone doesn't really care about the club's money-making problem, just be able to pay wages in time, and then don't pay wages in arrears and sell yourself.

Finished the chat,NOFE started his own job,Today's starter is still Qin Yu Yu Mingkai,Love Lori sits on the bench,This year, in the case of the factory director's excellent condition, I can get a lot of opportunities to play,Love Lori is content,Unlike the poor mouse or the identity of an emergency substitute。

In the face of Samsung, a difficult enemy, they can't help but be careless.

Similarly, in Samsung's lounge, Ambison and the coaching team are also sad, they won't be like this when they play Dragon Ball, and they really don't know the bottom of EDG.

Let's see how it plays.

Today's guest is Long Hair with Su Xiaoyan.

The game commentary is Doll as well as Miller.

Before the game started, Long Hair took Su Xiaoyan to analyze.

The commentary of the two is not very interesting, but the professionalism is quite good.

Unlike some players who have no brains to blow EDG, Su Xiaoyan and Changmao both think that the current Korean team is difficult to beat in the knockout round.

SKT has obvious shortcomings this year, Dragon Ball lacks run-in, BO1 can't see it, and BO5 has too many things to test the team.

From tactics to satiety, it will affect the state of the players.

When it comes to the quarterfinals, there is no such thing as hiding tactics, unless there is a huge difference in strength between the two teams, otherwise it is the rhythm of bayonets.

The garbage time before the game ends.

The audience at the scene was fine, and the audience in the live broadcast room was eagerly waiting for the start of the game.

As the countdown ended, the live broadcast was finally given to the players.

Samsung's players were the first to take the stage, followed by EDG as the host.

Unlike a series of small actions held by Stick Ah San and their competitions, LPL can be said to be carefully selected in every venue hosting the World Finals, and the service is even more perfect.

Wait until the commissioning of the equipment is finished.

The sister buckle noticed that her own single daddy took out his cherished custom keyboard today.

Humility is now EDG's popular fried chicken, as a sponsored peripheral, how can Dad let go of Qin Yu's cash cow, and immediately asked professionals to design a sky blue mechanical keyboard and mouse.

The size of the keyboard buttons and mouse is one to one fit Qin Yu's hands, and the kind of fantasy effect that can breathe and have a soul can't be done, compared to Shuangfeiyan or something, it must be the difference between a dragon and an ant.

Sponsors have also made a lot of money, although Humility doesn't usually use this keyboard much.

It's only used in big competitions on MSI and continental competitions, but it can't stop players from frantically buying the same model on the official website.

I earn numb for you at will.

If it weren't for the fact that the seats and computers were all provided uniformly during the official competition, even the peripheral sponsors wanted to be all-inclusive.

After a while.

Seeing that the contestants finally raised their hands.

Countless viewers were in high spirits.

The race is finally about to begin!
