Chapter 353: Layout Europe!
FC Schalke 04 Esports, or 'F04' for short!
It is a European League of Legends team founded in 2015.
It is owned by Schalke 04 FC in the Bundesliga.
It's just that the achievements of this team in the League of Legends tournament are not as smooth sailing as the GBG team.
In contrast, there are even hundreds of millions of points of "stinking".
This has made several shareholders of the Bundesliga Schalke 04 football club very optimistic about the prospects of the F04 team.
"You know what?"
"The LPL division will be leagued next season, and the competition system will be modeled after the NBA's seat position, and there will be no relegation or relegation system.
"But as far as I know, there's no such idea in Europe right now."
A tall-nosed, deep-eyed, Germanic-looking man spoke to several other middle-aged European men, who were somewhat obese.
"The Bundesliga is the big one, we don't need to think about that annoying League of Legends!"
"Riot is so picky, I can't understand why League of Legends, as the hottest and hottest game in the world, has only a little prize money, not even as much as the prize money for winning the championship in a league that is not very high in our football!"
"I was really blind to invest in League of Legends!"
"Charchet, do you know how much I regret it now?"
"Please, don't mention League of Legends again, he's missing a lot of bottles of the best wine from France in my wine cabinet on my estate."
A fat, middle-aged man with a slightly flushed face complained to Charchet.
In his opinion, investing in League of Legends and building a team is an extremely loss-making business.
Since S3, the World Championship with the highest gold content and the most prize money in League of Legends has been won by OGN and LCK, that is, the Great Cold Netherworld.
It's clear that the Great Underworld, which has been targeting esports since the late 90s, is a strong force in this area, and it's hard for leagues in the rest of the world to threaten it right now.
"If we continue to increase our investment in League of Legends events, I can guarantee that even if it is 10 or even 20 years, we will not be able to recover our original cost even if this game is cold!"
"Charche, I'm not questioning your gaze, I'm complaining about the fist that slammed the door."
"If they are willing to give a few percent more of their revenue to the prize money of League of Legends events, or to hold one more world event every year, then the development of the League of Legends as a whole will definitely be more prosperous!"
"At the same time, we will be more interested in investing in League of Legends."
"But Tedamir and Reiz are like misers who cut the door, and they won't take a little more profit."
"I believe it would be a wise choice to sell the F04 team now!"
"Otherwise, we would lose at least a few million euros a year on him, although these millions of euros are nothing to each of us, and they are not even as expensive as a supercar, but he is like when I eat sausages, and I eat them until there are flies in them."
The greasy middle-aged man chattered to the previous collaborators about the huge damage that investing in a League of Legends team had done to him.
Charchet immediately laughed after hearing this, "Haha, Grace, do you think I just mentioned this to trick you into continuing to invest in the League of Legends team?" ”
"No, it's not like that, I also figured it out, if we continue to increase investment in F04, it will only make us continue to lose money inside."
"So in fact I have the same idea as you, we must put an end to this hole that makes us blind to hope and has to fill it with real money every year!"
Charchet spread his hands and said, "And yesterday I learned about such an opportunity. ”
As he spoke, Charchet picked up the remote control in his hand and turned on the projection in this luxuriously furnished room.
Soon after, a game in the Summoner's Rift appeared on the wall.
"Oh my God! Damn it's League of Legends again, I really don't want to see this disgusting game at all. ”
Grace closed his eyes and exclaimed, "This colorful map and the trajectory of those skills make my head twitch!" ”
"Exaggeration!" Xia Erche couldn't help but roll his eyes at the old man who was over half a hundred years old for such a pompous performance.
"I'm showing you this game today, you take a closer look at what is different about it."
"What difference could there be in every League of Legends game that hits me with a bullet in my heart! I hate to see it! ”
"This is a transaction of nearly 10 million!"
"If that's the case, I can hold back the disgust in my heart." Grace's eyes covered with both hands secretly opened one, and then looked at the large screen in front of him through the gap where the tips of his fingers were not completely together.
"Well, there's something wrong."
"How is this interface different from what I see, it's not a Euroleague?"
“gbg,rng”
"It's a little familiar, I think I've seen these two teams somewhere."
Grace became serious.
He lowered his hands and put them on his fat thighs, silently contemplating.
"GBG is the champion of this year's MSI."
msi?
After being reminded by Charche, Grace suddenly seemed to have touched something, and immediately slapped his thigh and shouted:
"I remember."
"GBG Club!"
"After his League of Legends team won the championship and other championships, I praised the owner of this club for his vision and business acumen!"
'He's all too familiar with how the club works.
"Wait, aren't gbg and rng both teams in the LPL region?"
Although Grace's reaction was half a beat slower, he finally reacted.
He seemed to understand why Charchael was showing him this game.
This guy is good friends with that guy called Hero!
"Brother Grace, don't be so excited, let me talk to you slowly."
"Now the projection is playing the game of the LPL semifinals."
"You know, LCK has been ruling the League of Legends project for 4 years."
"And this year is the year that is most likely to win over l CK."
"Of course, it's definitely not our European division, but the LPL division."
"Whether it's a GBG team or an RNG team, according to the evaluation of professionals, they are very close to the S KT club that dominates the League of Legends event."
"Even, GBG has an advantage over SKT!"
"And the owner of this club, Hero, contacted me the day before yesterday."
