America’s Road To Fame - Chapter 426

Just the day before William Chen’s first son Chen Shengyi was born, on December 24, the League of Legends S1 season global finals held in Atlanta ended.

In this nine-day global finals, Yang Mi’s HTG team finally won the championship, which is also the first global finals championship in the S season.

On the day that the HTG team won the championship, the news was swiped on the social media of Huaguo. This kind of thing with a sense of national honor can easily arouse the enthusiasm of the public, although at this time, e-sports is not very mainstream. However, in any case, it was Huaguo’s team that won the world championship, which also gained some attention for the industry.

Xiao Wang’s IG team ended up in the quarter-finals. In the eight-to-four match, they lost to a team from South Korea, which also made him feel quite depressed.

At the same time, after the HTG team won the League of Legends S1 season championship, the traces of their team members, as well as the team name, have passed a grand ceremony and left on the Avenue of Stars on the unfinished UFO E-sports Center Square. first record.

This ceremony was broadcast live to the world through Live, and the organizer of this competition was also very ambitious. All 24 teams participating in this global finals provided them with all 9 days of board and lodging in Atlanta. So even if they were eliminated in the initial group stage, they were able to stay and watch the whole game.

Therefore, in this ceremony, all 24 teams participating in the League of Legends S1 season global finals watched the process, including Xiao Wang, who saw the moment of honor for the HTG team under the leadership of Yang Mi. , I am still very envious, especially since this is a grand event that is broadcast live to all players around the world.

Therefore, Xiao Wang also secretly made up his mind. After returning home, he will continue to introduce strong men, rectify the IG team, and strive to make his team win the championship in next year’s S2 season.

And the results of this global finals have caused a very strong response.

You know, although Yang Mi did not announce how much money was spent on the acquisition of the LOL branch of the WE club, because the e-sports clubs in Huaguo were generally poor at this time, and the e-sports industry did not receive much attention, so This amount will not be too large. Many people in the industry estimate that it will definitely not exceed 1 million Chinese dollars.

So far, Yang Mi’s total investment in the HTG team will not exceed 3 million Chinese dollars, but just like this, the HTG team won the global finals of the League of Legends S1 season, not counting the result for the HEYTEA company. Advertising effect, just the prize money of the game, HTG club won the first prize of 10 million US dollars.

I don’t know what the mood of the WE club is at this time. Anyway, it shouldn’t be too good.

As for this bonus, according to insiders of the HTG club, the owner Yang Mi is very ambitious, saying that the club will only leave 20% of the bonus, which is 2 million US dollars, as the daily operating expenses of the club, and the remaining 8 million US dollars, It will be distributed as a bonus to club members.

80% of it, or $6.4 million, will be distributed to the players and coaches participating in the S1 season global finals, and 20% of the birth, or $1.6 million, will be distributed to other members of the club, including logistics. and other management.

As soon as the news came out, the Internet, including other Huaguo e-sports clubs, was full of envy for a while. You must know that in this era, most of Huaguo’s e-sports practitioners are very poor. Many teams are pure It is to generate electricity with love, and just rely on the prize money for participating in the competition to maintain a living.

And now, it can be said that the HTG club immediately became the first giant in the Huaguo e-sports industry after this battle, and it is the club that all e-sports players most want to join.

Say two things to understand.

The first is that after Xiao Wang acquired the CCM club, he then “strongly” poached four members of the Dota branch of the giant LGD to form the iG club.

At that time, Xiao Wang gave each of the four players a poaching fee of 50,000 Chinese dollars.

In the e-sports industry at this time, this is an unquestionably “sky-high price”, which has caused countless disputes for a while. And Xiao Wang was even evaluated by the media at this time as the most competitive investor in the history of e-sports.

The second one is that according to the memories of IG team LOL branch members Xiaoxiao in the live broadcast, Xiao Wang’s assistant once held a sack of Chinese coins in front of them and said:

“If you win the championship, take it away, 20,000 yuan per person.”

20,000 yuan is not a small sum for professional players at this time.

Therefore, it can be seen that this time Yang Mi waved his hand and let the members of the club share the 8 million US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 55 million Chinese dollars. Even the cleaning aunts in the club received 200,000 Chinese dollars, and the main force The members are all in the bonus scale of several million Chinese dollars. How much impact will this bring to the e-sports industry practitioners and those players at this time?

For the first time, let them know that the e-sports industry is not only supported by love, but can really make a lot of money.

This is not to mention that after the HTG club won the championship this time, the main members of the team who performed well have received many endorsements from relevant sponsors, especially equipment and hardware manufacturers~www.mtlnovel.com~ For these endorsements, the club and the team Members are divided into 46, which is not a small amount of income.

Another influence of the HTG club winning the championship this time is that the HEYTEA company, which is the title business of this club, has also been hyped by a wave of popularity, and the sales of milk tea have been greatly improved.

At the same time, in order to celebrate the victory of HTG Club, various stores of HEYTEA have launched milk tea packaging with the HTG club logo and team members’ portraits, and announced that on Christmas Day, HEYTEA stores nationwide will launch a buy-one-get-one-free event. And launched the new milk tea of ​​the King of Atlanta S1 with the exclusive taste of the champion.

As the owner of the HTG club, Yang Mi’s limelight overwhelmed classmate Xiao Wang and became the most well-known figure in the Huaguo e-sports circle. Because of her beauty and her contribution to the promotion of the e-sports industry, she was unanimously praised. For the “Goddess of Gaming”.

Driven by her, the popularity of the game LOL in China has also greatly increased. Many people who seldom played games before, especially many girls, also began to try to play LOL.

And because LOL is simpler to operate and easier to use than DOTA, many girls stay in this game and become a hobby for their amateur entertainment.

This kind of scene has also produced a virtuous circle. Because of the increase in female players, more boys have also been attracted, and LOL has gradually become the most popular battle game.

This phenomenon is naturally what Riot and Penguin, which holds a 30% stake in Riot, are happy to see, so they began to actively support Riot and launch the mobile version of League of Legends as soon as possible.
