Chapter 450 E-Sports People, You Should Take It With A Grain Of Salt
The budget investment for the number one player directly caused the scene to explode.
Many people in the e-sports circle even stood up and shouted, 'Future Group is awesome' and 'Lu Yi is awesome'.
It was impossible for these people not to be excited.
The budget is 10 billion yuan, and the investment is larger than the market size. This will undoubtedly inject a shot of stimulant into the declining domestic e-sports circle.
Because of the Lanjisu Internet Cafe incident, domestic e-sports was stillborn.
Although it is still relying on many people to persist in Aigen, it cannot attract sponsorship, and the life of e-sports players has become a problem.
Now that the Future Group has entered the market, it will spend 10 billion yuan. It is a big group after all, and it is directly trying to build the number one player into a tournament that surpasses WCG.
Thus.
Their circle will undoubtedly benefit the most, and the living environment of e-sports people will also be greatly improved as a result.
"Future Group is worthy of being the Future Group. The first sale is 10 billion yuan. The spring for us e-sports people is finally here!"
"I thought that even if the Future Group supported the e-sports industry, it would only be a small effort. As a result, the offer was 10 billion yuan. This is Monkey King causing trouble in heaven and turning the entire industry upside down!"
"Stop talking! I was reluctant to buy a Pinnacle mobile phone before, but now I won't say anything. After the press conference, I will go directly to the direct store in Suzhou. Even if it means eating instant noodles for three months, I will support it. Get the pinnacle phone!”
"It can be concluded that the e-sports industry has changed overnight. This is a huge change that all e-sports insiders in China are looking forward to!"
The e-sports people at the scene shed tears of excitement.
"Damn it! Future Group is as generous as ever. It doesn't regard money as money at all. It only costs 10 billion yuan. The domestic e-sports industry has not yet exploded!" a media reporter present said with emotion.
A colleague next to him said: "Haha, that's not true! Don't look at it. Last year, Future Group's revenue exceeded 100 billion yuan. Even this year, due to the subprime mortgage crisis in North America, there was a financial crisis around the world, but Future Group The revenue in the first three quarters of this year also exceeded 100 billion yuan. And its cash reserves are hundreds of billions of yuan. It is not easy to spend 10 billion yuan to engage in e-sports."
"Comparing people with each other is annoying! The global economic environment this year is generally not good. Other companies are cutting back on clothing and food to cope with this financial winter. Only Future Group, as if nothing is wrong, is still expanding its territory in various sectors with great fanfare. Now Even the e-sports industry, which has a pitifully small market, is not spared, and the spending is so generous. I can only say that you are rich and willful." Another reporter said sourly.
"With such a large investment from the Future Group, not only the domestic e-sports circle will be stirred up, but also the foreign e-sports circle! The largest e-sports event in the world is currently the WCG held in Hanguo, with the support of Sanxing and Microsoft Corporation behind it. , but it’s not as inhumane as Future Group.”
"If the people from the WCG tournament committee knew this news, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to sleep at night."
The reporters at the scene also whispered to each other, their voices full of sourness.
As time passed, the press conference also entered the final question session.
At this time.
A reporter whose name was called stood up and started asking questions.
"Mr. Lu, with the announcement of Future Group's entry into the e-sports industry, it has caused quite a stir in the society. We all know that in 2002, a fire at the Zhongdu Blue Express Internet Cafe killed 25 people. The reason is that the network administrator of Lanjisu Internet Cafe refused to allow several minors who wanted to play games online to enter the Internet cafe, so these angry minors set fire to retaliate. Many parents have changed their minds about video games, and now the Future Group With such a high-profile announcement to enter the e-sports industry, and a budget investment of 10 billion yuan, does Future Group's move conform to the mainstream voice of society? Does Mr. Lu have anything to say about this?"
This reporter’s question was quite pointed.
First, he mentioned the Blue Speed Internet Cafe incident, and then said that many parents have changed their minds after hearing about video games. This directly pushed Future Group to the opposite side of the public.
To this.
Lu Yi was also mentally prepared, and there was no panic on his face.
"First of all, I want to correct your misconception, that is, video games are not the same as e-sports. They are two essentially different concepts.
"On November 18, 2003, the State Sports General Administration officially listed e-sports as the 99th official sports competition."
"In other words, e-sports, like 98 other sports such as track and field, swimming, diving, gymnastics, weightlifting, football, basketball, table tennis, etc., is a nationally recognized sports competition, not a video game."
"Okay, now we understand the clear concept of e-sports. This is a nationally recognized sports competition. Although it originated from games, it has transcended the games themselves."
“What is eSports?”
“E-sports is a competition between people that combines intelligence and physical strength using electronic devices as sports equipment. Through e-sports, participants’ thinking ability, reaction ability, limb coordination ability and willpower can be exercised and improved. Cultivate team spirit, and professional e-sports also has high physical requirements. E-sports is also a profession, similar to non-electronic game competitions such as chess, and is a metaphorical competition project that can bring honor to the country."
"E-sports players are athletes. When the players perform a wonderful and beautiful operation, the fans and spectators at the scene will scream with excitement. This is the same as when an athlete scores a goal in a football match."
"I understand very well that the majority of parents have a negative opinion about games. After all, people often say that playing with things is debilitating. In the eyes of the ancients, this object was a cricket, a grasshopper, a bird, etc., but now it is a video game."
"But as I said just now, video games and e-sports are two different things. Although e-sports originated from video games, e-sports has already surpassed electronic games.
"In recent years, domestic media have reported on many cases of people dropping out of school and even committing crimes because of playing games. This is the fundamental reason why parents talk about games in a negative light, and even equate e-sports with video games."
“But what I want to say is that e-sports is a kind of sports competition, and e-sports people will also become a profession, just like workers in factories, it is a profession recognized by the state. The company is the e-sports team, and the team provides E-sports players are paid, and e-sports players compete and win honors for the team. This is not an idle job, it is a profession."
"Of course, I would also like to warn every young person who wants to become a professional e-sports player here. This is a very, very difficult road. If getting admitted to a prestigious university is about thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge, then becoming a professional e-sports player A campaigner is no less than an army walking a tightrope.”
"Why do you say that?"
"Not to mention other e-sports events, let's talk about the Top Player that our group is about to host. There is only one champion, and only the champion can win the honorary title of Top Player."
"Becoming a professional e-sports player does not mean simply being able to play a few games. They need to have a very clear goal, which is to keep climbing up. The ultimate goal is to become a champion and the number one player. There is and only this one Target."
"Students who cannot get into Mizuki University of Science and Technology can still take the exams of other 985 or 211 universities. Even if it doesn't work, they can also take the exam of a provincial or second-tier university. However, there is only one champion of the number one player, and others become the champions. , it means you can’t get on the highest podium, it’s so cruel, that’s why I say that the road to professional e-sports is very difficult.
The level of difficulty is no less than that of kaoshui dal. "
The end.
Lu Yi finally added: "What I said just now does not mean that I want to discourage young people from becoming professional e-sports players. I just want those young e-sports people who are interested in taking the professional path of 1.7 to know that this path is not It’s such an easy journey, but it’s also full of ups and downs.”
"Of course, I also think that the dreams that everyone pursues should be worthy of encouragement. Everyone's dreams should be different. If they were all the same, wouldn't the colors of this world be too monotonous?"
"Everyone has the right to pursue their dreams. E-sports is not a scourge. On the contrary, it is an emerging industry that can bring back trophies representing honors to the country on the international stage, like football and table tennis. .
“There is no high or low profession, and no noble or vulgar dream. We should respect dreams and respect every dream chaser.
"Finally, I want to say something to people who are interested in professional e-sports. If I want to change everyone's view of e-sports, I, Lu Yi, and Future Group alone cannot do it. We need this circle. Everyone works together."
“E-sports people, you should take this with a pinch of salt!”
After the words fell, the scene was quiet for a moment, and then there was a wave of applause. .
