Chapter 441 Plan ahead(1/2)
Lin Shun's idea of retiring was not a temporary idea.
When I played VR games in the past, although the mechanics of different games were different, the core quality requirements were similar.
The club can use a very streamlined team to participate in as many events as possible.
Of course, this also puts forward higher requirements for the quality of professional players. Each of the club's main players is very important.
This is why Lin Shun was able to earn so much money at such a young age and pay off his family's debts.
Now, the game market has developed explosively, and his professional team has also won the first national virtual reality game championship. It can be said that it has once again seized a key opportunity.
Takeoff is just around the corner!
Compared with many professional players who fell into the crisis of passive retirement because their physical talents were wiped out and their performance in the just-concluded games was mediocre. His situation is already too good.
It’s not a bad idea to seize the opportunity, ride the wave, and increase your income tenfold.
However, Lin Shun couldn't help but ask himself: Is this what I want to make more money?
Ordinary people of this age probably rarely think about this issue.
However, because his family was in debt, Lin Shun stepped up and took responsibility. He grew from a new professional player to a star player with many fans and paid off the debt for his family.
The things he has seen and experienced are far more than those of ordinary people of the same age, and his thinking is more mature than those of his peers.
This allows him to calm down and think when facing huge opportunities: What do I really want?
money?
of course not.
Money is only for family needs and is used to pay off debts.
The debt has been paid off long ago, and a lot of wealth has even been restored.
This national competition of "Assassin's League" has greatly enriched this part of the family.
——The money he personally received even exceeded the bonus set by Yunmeng for the championship team.
Even though the amount of prize money set by Yunmeng is already the highest amount in domestic gaming competitions, it is still less than the money given by sponsors.
Especially since he is a star player and has several personal sponsors.
The turmoil caused by Yunmeng has undoubtedly affected countless brands, and these brands that have invested money in the e-sports field feel the strongest.
Before Yunmeng, e-sports events had always existed because the user group was relatively accurate and the advertising effect was good.
But Yunmeng's event raised the popularity to an unprecedented level.
Even though the popularity failed to maintain its growth momentum in the second half due to the release of new games, the number of viewers who stabilized was still amazing.
Although the portrait of the user group is less accurate as a result, the powerful scale effect completely makes up for this.
Compared with the amazing exposure brought by the contestants, the sponsorship and endorsement fees they paid are too cheap!
Of course, this is the only good thing.
After this, many clubs with good results should start to reconsider their offers.
Because big brands that can afford higher quotes have also been eyeing this popularity, they are gearing up to get involved and get a piece of the pie.
Even while cooperating with Yunmeng and opening a store in the virtual world, they also have to place bets on e-sports events, a two-pronged approach.
This is also the direct reason why the value of professional players is being pushed higher and higher.
Old sponsors raise prices, new sponsors emerge, live broadcast platform contracts are reviewed, all aspects of things will appear in front of their eyes more or less without the professional players having to understand them themselves.
The prosperity of the e-sports industry seems to be around the corner, and all e-sports clubs feel excited.
But when it comes to professional players, it feels like ice and fire.
Because not all professional players can enjoy this prosperity.
This prosperity and hot money will only flow into fields related to virtual reality games.
If you are unable to show strong enough strength in virtual reality games, you are destined to fall behind.
It may not be eliminated, after all, the previous events, whether on PC, console, or VR, still exist.
It's just that this prosperity and enthusiasm are destined to be missed.
You even have to worry about whether you will be given up by the club in the future.
But there is no way around it. The e-sports industry is always a place where geniuses gather.
But now, the quality requirements for "genius" have undergone some changes.
——Although until now, no one has figured out what qualities are really needed most in virtual reality games.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you play a few games, the outcome will never lie.
In the past, no one was fully aware of what qualities VR games require - not just physical fitness and mentality. The physical fitness of the top professional VR game players is still far behind that of professional athletes.
But this does not prevent each club from finding the most talented players.
——Because the winning rate can prove everything.
Lin Shun is one of the lucky ones. When the game carrier changes, he still meets the needs of new game forms.
However, at this juncture, he hesitated.
Because in front of him, there is a completely different choice——
Now he retires and returns to school.
Go back to the path you once abandoned.
It is true that there will be a lot less money, but money is never the purpose. What you use the money for is the purpose.
Because he had loving parents and a happy family since he was a child, this did not change even if he went into debt.
So his goal in life is to be like his parents: start a family with an excellent girl, have a happy life, and so on.
It would be better if this girl was a water flower...
And in this silly child's mind, if his educational level cannot keep up, and if he goes to Splash University and goes all the way to graduate school in the future, and he still has a high school degree, then the prospects between them... may not be too optimistic.
In the heart of a 17-year-old young man, love is really more important than the future.
It's just that he hasn't said this to anyone else yet, he just said that he misses school.
But this reason is completely enough for parents.
Daxia's policy and protection of minors allowed him to completely ignore the club's opinions and forcefully return to school.
But the price is: I will never be able to return to this industry in the future.
Of course Lin Shun is not so extreme, but having said that, he was a minor when he signed the contract, and he could only sign as an adult.
There are only a few months until the contract expires...
After receiving the news, Fenzhou Club, its manager, coach, and big boss were all unable to hold back.
They are still drafting Lin Shun's new contract, and the benefits are almost full, but then they heard that Lin Shun wants to retire?
They even have to think, do they really want to retire, or do they just find a reason to terminate the contract and then turn around and come back to another club?
The coach said: "Lin Shun is not such a person."
However, the manager feels that with the current fierce competition in the industry, there is no guarantee that he will not be misled by someone with malicious intentions.
The big boss doesn’t care whether they have these things or not. He just says: “Keep people here.”
All clubs in the industry are looking forward to Yunmeng's second large-scale national competition. At this juncture, they must not lose a main player, or even let his mentality be greatly affected.
so……
"solve quickly!"
The big boss only left two instructions and walked away, leaving the management looking at each other.
…
…
Early the next morning, at the morning meeting of the Burning Boat Club, the manager came up with a proposal——
[Academic Care Plan for Professional E-Sports Players]
Forgetting all the excuses to decorate the facade, the core content is just one thing:
Professional players in the field of virtual reality games are allowed to complete their studies normally during the day and training will be carried out at night.
You can even ask for leave during exam week! I can't say enough about how considerate I am.
But one thing is that this plan is application-based.
Players apply, the club reviews it, and it can only be implemented after passing the review.
As for the conditions for passing?
we'll talk about it then.
"Let's discuss whether this plan is feasible."
To be continued...
