Chapter 668 DGE's Talent Gap (Ask for a Monthly Ticket!)
Monday, September 26.
After having lunch at Moyu Internet Cafe, taking photos with three enthusiastic fans and signing autographs, Pei Qian planned to go to the DGE Club.
Pei Qian kept his eyes open when signing, but only signed the word "Pei".
Because if you sign your full name, fans will definitely think, is "Pei Qian" the actor's name, or Mr. Pei's name?
If this is the actor's name, then both the actor and Boss Pei happen to be named Pei? What a coincidence?
If this is Mr. Pei's name, then... 50,000 words are omitted here.
Therefore, Pei Qian only signed the word "Pei". On the one hand, it is to let fans not have too many associations and protect their identity, and on the other hand, it is to entrust a good wish.
After the weekend, the number of fans I ran into at Moyu Internet Cafe also decreased.
This shows that Huang Sibo's trick "I am my own substitute" has obviously worked, and it has greatly reduced the number of fans who are interested in Mr. Pei's identity.
It is conceivable that as time goes by, Pei Qian will be disturbed less and less.
As for the GOG Global Invitational, although it ended successfully yesterday, the follow-up enthusiasm will continue for a while and will involve many aspects.
For Shangyang Games, the GOG Global Invitational Tournament, as an important part of GOG's international server promotion strategy, has played an excellent role!
This game has in-depth cooperation with foreign live broadcast platforms, and the number of viewers has repeatedly hit new highs, and even surpassed ioi for the first time in popularity on the Internet.
This marks a phased victory in GOG's promotion plan to spread coins overseas!
Of course, the foundation of MOBA games is relatively deep. In such a short period of time, GOG is unlikely to fully overtake ioi, which has made an early effort overseas, but no matter what, GOG has begun to challenge ioi's first-mover status on a global scale. It is an indisputable fact.
In China, the GOG Global Invitational also made GOG's throne more stable, and even attracted a large number of players from other games into the pit!
In the final analysis, this success comes from the following aspects:
The high bonus and the announcement of the big coin-sprinkling style gathered extremely high enthusiasm.
Overseas audiences saw that overseas veteran clubs entered the semi-finals and guaranteed their attention before the semi-finals. Although there were no foreign teams after the semi-finals, domestic teams contributed top-level competition, so they will continue to pay attention;
Domestic audiences gained a great sense of pride when they saw domestic clubs violently beating overseas established clubs, enhanced their recognition of GOG, and began to deeply connect GOG with the concept of "e-sports";
This competition system is very effective for chicken thieves.
In addition, various stalks emerged one after another during the competition, such as Huang Wang's one-handed lifting of nearly 30KG trophy at the end of the competition, which spread wildly on the Internet, resulting in the effect of "breaking the circle".
In addition to Shangyang Games, many other industries have also benefited from this game.
Needless to say, hosting gyms, several hosting gyms are already full, and there are even many people queuing up on the APP to wait for a seat.
Moyu Internet Cafe 3.0 has also gained more attention.
Originally, Xiao Peng wanted to build Moyu Internet Cafe 3.0 into a part of Tenda's e-sports ecosystem. Now, under the influence of the GOG Global Invitational, this process has been greatly advanced!
Huang Wang raised the trophy, and the H4 club monopolized the sky-high bonuses, which inspired countless high-end players. Many people want to become professional players, and now they have two paths:
One is to go to major clubs (including DGE) for trial training, and these major clubs happen to be in Jingzhou;
The other is to go to the ladder to find excellent players to form a team, and go to Moyu Internet Cafe 3.0 competitions and training together, starting with Internet cafe competitions, and then working hard to enter the professional circle.
The reserve players that e-sports clubs can absorb are very limited. After all, the club wants to achieve results. After a trial training, if the results are not satisfactory, they will be persuaded to leave. They will not support so many idlers.
But Moyu Internet Cafe 3.0 is different. If someone can consistently win in Internet cafe competitions, then the prize money from these competitions alone can barely support the whole team and maintain their basic livelihood.
As early as when Moyu Internet Cafe 3.0 was successful, Pei Qian had agreed with Xiao Peng to continue to open branches, and Xiao Peng did open Moyu Internet Cafe 3.0 to several densely populated areas with many young people in Jingzhou. The last two days ushered in the first wave of upsurge.
Regarding these, Pei Qian could only ignore them.
The current Internet cafes are out of his control for him. Open more branches and pay more bonuses. As long as you don’t pay me, just go and make troubles.
As for whether it will have a greater impact on GOG in the future, it is definitely not something to worry about in this cycle.
As for why you made a special trip to the DGE Club...
The main reason is that Pei Qian suddenly felt that the DGE club seemed to be able to save it again.
The previous DGE club disappointed Pei Qian, but now, the players have all sold out!
Huang Wang just takes the trophy, he is now a member of the H4 club, even if he brings a lot of heat, it still belongs to the H4 club.
Of course, in the short term, everyone will still associate these players with the DGE club.
But in another three months, half a year?
In the past, the popularity of the DGE club was high because of its strength.
The reason for its strength is that GOG is in its infancy and embryonic stage, and DGE is ahead of other clubs. After more than two months of high-intensity and professional training, it quickly opened up the gap with other clubs.
But after the operation of "Scattered is full of stars", the competitive level of other clubs quickly caught up.
Now the ten new Internet addicts from the DGE club, if they play against clubs like H4 or EK, they will definitely be tortured to the point of doubting their lives.
In other words, the DGE club can no longer maintain the previous dominance.
In e-sports, strength speaks for itself. If there is no result, the DGE club will be forgotten soon. At most, it will remain in the e-sports circle as a player and will not make a lot of money for President Pei.
Therefore, Pei Qian is going to take a look at the situation of the DGE club. If he is optimistic, he can trust them again.
For this reason, Pei Qian also specially reserved a seat in advance at Mr. Li's Mingfu family banquet, and prepared to treat the team members to a big meal.
...
DGE Club.
The new DGE first and second teams are playing training matches.
The ten people were engrossed, the sound of typing on the keyboard and the mouse rang together, and the captains of the two teams continued to direct.
Coach Zhang Yuan and Ya Ling watched and talked quietly.
"It seems that yesterday's finals gave them a lot of stimulation, and everyone took a breath today." Coach Ya Ling said.
Zhang Yuan nodded: "Well, for sure. Seeing their seniors smashing all directions in the finals and holding the cup with one hand, these people must be very encouraged."
"However, haste makes waste. If you want to improve your strength, simply increasing the volume is useless. The key is to pay attention to scientific training methods. I am a little worried that their current state will be counterproductive."
"But there is no better way."
Coach Ya Ling looked at the whiteboard next to it. It showed the results of the two DGE teams' training matches against other clubs in the previous two days, and they were almost all defeated.
Although these new players were all selected from countless passers-by with high scores on the ladder who signed up enthusiastically, they were not regular soldiers after all, and they lacked training, so they were powerless to fight back against other clubs.
It is precisely because of this that the two teams practiced extraordinarily hard.
But for e-sports, hard work is very important, but it doesn't mean that hard work will definitely pay off.
In many cases, talent, a good attitude, and scientific training methods are more useful than inefficient efforts.
And the more impatient the players are, the easier it is to fall into this inefficient effort.
Zhang Yuan was very worried about this, but he couldn't think of a better way.
Maybe it's time to find a coach?
But finding a coach means trusting the coach's arrangement wholeheartedly, and the current coach is either poached by other clubs, or is not strong enough, and Zhang Yuan will not be able to find a suitable candidate for a while.
With a headache, Pei Qian walked in.
Coach Zhang Yuan and Ya Ling hurriedly stood up: "Boss Pei!"
Pei Qian greeted the two of them and found an empty seat to sit down.
He inadvertently glanced at the training record on the whiteboard, and subconsciously showed a joyful expression.
Why is the record so bad?
These training matches were made in the past two days with domestic teams that had already been eliminated. That is to say, they were playing against weak teams, but they still lost more than they won.
What a great news!
Pei Qian couldn't help but nodded slightly, well, it seems that the start is much better than the previous batch of players!
Why were the last batch of players able to "scatter all over the sky"? It was because I started too early and won at the starting line.
And this group of players lost at the starting line!
This is very comfortable.
But then, Pei Qian saw the focused and stern-looking players in the training room, and found that they all seemed to be highly focused and training hard.
Pei Qian frowned instinctively.
Don't be optimistic too early, there are still great hidden dangers!
This group of DGE players had a trial training after the DGE club became popular, and they were all very talented and young high-scoring passers-by.
If they continue to practice like this and their strength soars quickly, wouldn't they be about to fall into the previous vicious circle?
The DGE club beat other clubs violently in the training match→DGE’s myth continued→Sponsors invested wildly in sponsorship→Other clubs offered high prices to buy people→DGE club became more famous, and more passers-by with high scores came to try out.
In that case, things can get out of hand!
Moreover, compared to other clubs, passers-by with high scores prefer to come to DGE for trial training. In addition to the brand effect of DGE, career prospects are also very important considerations.
Because other clubs will find ways to lower the price when signing a contract, and they are more inclined to sign a three-year long contract with a lower salary. It is difficult for many talented players to prove their worth before they prove themselves in the game.
And after signing a long-term contract, the club won't sell it, which is very bad for the players.
But in the DGE club, everyone knows that if you play your worth, you will be bought by the speed of light, and it is perfect as a springboard.
In other words, DGE doesn't need to bid with other clubs at all, or even charge high prices for these players, they will flock to them!
Because the newcomers who came to the DGE club are not for the current salary of the three melons, but for the big contracts offered by other clubs in the future to prove themselves!
The more Pei Qian thought about it, the more worried he became.
If it really develops according to this script and monopolizes those talented players from the source, isn't the DGE club hopeless?
No, no, this group of players started so well, they have to do something to keep going! Never enter this vicious circle!
Obviously, the current team members all saw the final of the GOG Global Invitational Tournament yesterday, and they all felt like they had been beaten to death. They must find a way to change their mentality.
It is useless to pour cold water on them, but it is likely to have the opposite effect. It is still necessary to use generous conditions to corrupt their will to fight.
Pei Qian watched the battle silently.
...
At five o'clock in the afternoon, the training match ended.
Then there is the post-match wrap-up meeting and dinner time.
Zhang Yuan's expression became even more worried.
Because he can vaguely see that this practice will not work!
In the previous DGE two teams practiced each other, it was a fight between gods, because the two teams started early, and Huang Wang and Jiang Huan's understanding of the game surpassed that of other club players and coaches, so the two teams became stronger as they practiced.
But now the two teams of DGE are practicing each other, and it has become a rookie pecking at each other!
When other clubs are already on the right track and constantly developing new tactics, the disadvantages of the two teams of DGE without the leadership of professional coaches have emerged. Under the premise that the captains of the two teams do not understand the game as well as other clubs, no matter how much they practice, they will not be able to play. Can't get a good training effect.
But the key point is that Zhang Yuan himself is just a manager, and some problems can be seen, but he doesn't know how to solve them.
The two teams can only let the two teams discuss the issue of play. Although they seem to be summing up seriously, they can't quickly unify their thinking and sum up the lessons.
Zhang Yuan subconsciously looked at Mr. Pei.
Since Mr. Pei came to the club in the afternoon, he has not said much, but silently watched the two teams play the training match.
Zhang Yuan felt that there must be some special reason why Mr. Pei came here at this juncture, right?
Mostly worried about the lack of talent in the DGE club!
Zhang Yuan felt that Mr. Pei must have seen the problems that he could see.
I just don't know how President Pei will solve this problem.
Zhang Yuan quietly waited for Mr. Pei to speak.
Seeing the intense discussion among the team members, Pei Qian became more and more worried.
Because the two captains were seriously summing up the problems, and the team members were also putting forward their own ideas, and it seemed that they were having a fruitful brainstorming session.
The training is also very hard, and the post-match review is also very serious. If this continues, maybe the two new teams of DGE will catch up with other clubs soon!
After all, the original two teams of DGE used this kind of training method to succeed. Pei Qian felt that it was absolutely impossible to fall into the same pit twice.
