The Tianlu CSGO team’s journey this year has been full of twists and turns.
In the Extreme Masters Cup Katowice in February, after defeating Vitality and Cloud9 with big scores of 16:8 and 16:3 respectively, Tianlu lost three consecutive games like Waterloo, and finally ended up in the new challenger group. No. 10.
Also at this year's Berlin major, Tianlu defeated MVP and entered the major, but in the subsequent games, they became the first team to be eliminated with a 0:3 defeat.
The subsequent CAC Asian Invitational Tournament also stopped at the semi-finals.
E-sports dish is the original sin.
Different from the foreign e-sports atmosphere, there are basically some championship fans in China. It is really difficult to compare such results. Not to mention, ZFF, which has been building a PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds team, learned that the Tianlu CSGO department has not reached a cooperation with the Perfect National Platform.
He immediately questioned the person in charge.
After learning that another boss disagreed.
He angrily came to question.
The reply he received was that he had nothing to do with Lu Yiming.
This is how ZFF’s trip to Star City came about.
meeting room.
ZFF looked at the five-meter-long solid wood table in front of him and felt the softness of the leather sofa under his buttocks. He couldn't help but sigh: "Tsk, tsk~ This is really rich!"
He felt that the cost of building just one conference room would be in the millions.
This is not a configuration that ordinary companies can afford.
Originally he thought he was a rich man.
But it feels compared to Lu Yiming.
The gap is still too far.
He had heard about Lu Yiming, but his detailed knowledge only happened in the past two days.
At this moment, I was thinking about what opening remarks I should use when Lu Yiming comes.
But Lu Yiming didn't wait.
But he waited until Wang Jiming first.
Looking at Wang Jiming who opened the door and came in.
ZFF stood up and said in surprise: "Mr. Wang?"
Perfect World serves as the agent for the national server.
Some domestic competitions are attended by people, and the person present is Wang Jiming.
Wang Jiming smiled and nodded.
Then he sat down opposite ZFF and said, "Mr. Lu asked me to contact you."
Hear this.
ZFF's expression paused.
My heart suddenly became filled with curses.
As for Wang Jiming's expression at ZFF, he immediately shook his head in his heart. People who write their emotions on their faces will probably not achieve great things.
At this time, he continued: "Let's get down to business! Are you in charge of the Tianlu team now?"
at the same time.
Another conference room upstairs.
It was indeed Lu Yiming who originally met with the ZFF, but Lu Zhen's sudden visit changed his plan.
And for Lu Zhen to come over in person, this must be no small matter.
After both parties took their seats.
Lu Zhenshi handed a piece of information to Lu Yiming quite seriously.
Very thick information.
It took Lu Yiming more than ten minutes to read it.
The pistol round in the data is 300,000 rounds.
Lu Yiming shook his head.
Then he put down the information and looked at Lu Zhen with a slight frown and said, "Is it so corrupted?"
As everyone knows.
At present, there is no gambling website opening for the CNCS domestic civil war competition abroad.
The reason is not because there is no heat.
But those spinach people abroad dare not open it.
For example, a certain foreign team is known as the best actor among all members. As long as the odds are in place, everyone can win and everyone can lose.
CS is divided into three periods.
Cheating in the early stage, eating food right after the show starts in the middle stage.
This is the same at home and abroad.
Just a few years ago, the CS environment was like this.
The second and third tier teams rely on match-fixing to survive.
Lu Zhen's expression was also quite complicated.
He looked up at Lu Yiming and said, "I actually know a little bit, but I didn't expect it to be so bad."
Put it this way.
That's what this information says.
There is no team in the country that is not on the list.
Hearing this, Lu Yiming said seriously: "We can't go on like this! Let's just carry out a big purge! Just follow the method we discussed before and start implementing it from the end of the year!"
Hear this.
Lu Zhen hesitated: "What if these teams don't cooperate? Although I have the right to operate the national server, the relevant events are operated by third parties."
Domestic competitions.
Basically everything is outsourced to a third party.
The advantage of this is that you don’t have to worry about losing money.
You must know that domestic competitions in recent years can be said to be held at a loss.
Let Perfect Group be responsible for this project.
The board of directors simply couldn't pass the test.
Hear this.
Lu Yiming looked at Lu Zhen with an expression full of contempt, which made Lu Zhen feel uncomfortable all over.
At this time, Lu Yiming grinned and said: "If you don't cooperate? Then just flip the table!"
About domestic e-sports competitions.
Lu Zhen had discussed it with Lu Yiming.
First of all, the competition needs to be enriched. It is planned that Perfect World Group will invest 5 million and Perfect National Platform will invest 5 million to hold a large-scale competition in the first half of 2020.
This game is just a warm-up.
If it works well it will mimic the current league's events.
Make competitions regular, periodic, and routine.
Make sure the team has games to play throughout the year.
If you want to do this, you need to invest at least hundreds of millions of dollars to start.
Lu Zhen is willing to lead the investment, and Lu Yiming is also willing to follow the investment, but judging from the information currently obtained, their investment is likely to be a joke.
You take the game seriously.
People ate spinach.
If something goes wrong, you have to bear the blame.
Lu Yiming would not do such a thing.
After hearing this, Lu Zhen also weighed the pros and cons in his mind.
Then he gritted his teeth and said: "TMD! Do it! What to do according to Mr. Lu!"
Lu Zhen couldn't make up his mind.
This is because CNCS cannot withstand too big a storm at the moment.
Many teams are on the verge of collapse.
Food is not all-you-can-eat for everyone.
In addition, the number of players is originally small. Although the number of players has increased recently, they have not converted into game fans.
I also thought that maybe now is the best time for restructuring.
Hearing the sound, Lu Yiming was thoughtful.
Then he said softly: "Suddenly I don't want to take them to play! How about taking the competition directly to the national route? On a school basis, don't many colleges and universities now have e-sports clubs?"
Spinach cannot be eliminated.
Relatively speaking, schools are easier to manage.
As soon as Lu Yiming said these words.
Lu Zhen immediately looked like he was willing to hear the details.
Lu Yiming's idea is simple.
Now these teams are rotten to the core.
Then just let them rot.
There are many teams named after universities in both the Master Group and Legend Group of the platform ladder.
Contact them and get in touch with the schools behind them.
Hold an e-sports competition for colleges and universities this spring.
Speaking of which.
Lu Yiming smiled and said: "Students are still relatively pure. A bonus of one million is enough. The school also provides free publicity opportunities. I believe that even if they don't strongly support it, they will acquiesce. We just need to help them get involved!" For team management, we can send temporary coaches, which can make the game cleaner."
Lu Yiming emphasized the word "clean" very strongly.
After hearing this, Lu Zhen thought for a moment and asked: "If it's just a college competition, the attention won't be too high, right?"
Hear this.
Lu Yiming looked at Lu Zhen and said with a subtle expression: "It's up to you! My idea is to let the champion of the college competition qualify to participate in the Major qualifiers!"
For V agency.
There are only two categories of all CSGO events.
One is the main tournament sponsored by them, such as the Major and Major qualifiers.
One is other events.
It is very difficult to qualify for the Major qualifiers.
Valve only has 24 qualifications for the Major qualifiers every year.
Lu Yiming looked at Lu Zhen, who was frowning deeply because of his words, and smiled: "What? Is this difficult?"
Hearing this, Lu Zhen smiled bitterly and said, "It's not a question of whether it's difficult or not! It's just that it's impossible to do!"
Although Perfect World is a national service agent.
But V Agency really doesn’t have much say.
The format of the Major qualifiers is divided into two entry channels.
Officials will directly invite some teams that have been active recently and are ranked high in the region.
The rest have to compete in auditions to have a chance to enter the qualifiers.
Hearing this, Lu Yiming said with a mysterious smile on his face: "That's not necessarily true!"
There is definitely no way to qualify for the Major.
But if you qualify for the Major qualifiers.
There is still room for manipulation.
Lu Yiming then called Lin Ke, who had recently joined his company.
Made an overseas phone call in front of Lu Zhen.
Zhang Wei helped him complete the procedures yesterday.
He also got this phone call after completing the formalities.
The Secretary to the President can be contacted directly.
V Club is G Fat’s boss, but he also needs to respect the shareholders, especially since this shareholder accounts for 5%.
The call is connected.
Lu Yiming said directly: "I am the shareholder Lu Yiming, and the shareholding certificate number is 4396. I want to jointly organize a CSGO campus competition with the person in charge of the CN region. For the champion of this competition, I hope to qualify for the Major qualifiers."
Lin Ke simultaneously relayed what Lu Yiming said.
The other party quickly replied: "Okay, I will report the problem to the president immediately and I will call you back later!"
at this time.
Lu Zhen looked at Lu Yiming with dull eyes.
Although Valve’s market value is only tens of billions of dollars.
But you must know that Valve is a company with only a few hundred employees and an annual income of several billion dollars.
The valuation is low just because it is not listed.
That Lu Yiming could become a shareholder of this company was no less shocking than when he first learned that Lu Yiming's company had created a supercomputer.
After a long time.
Lu Zhen sighed with a complicated expression: "Mr. Lu~ You hide it so deeply!!"
Hearing this, Lu Yiming shrugged.
It can only be said that this is just in time.
soon.
It only took more than ten minutes.
A phone call came.
In fact, there is no need for Lin Ke to translate. When the other party says: "I have kept you waiting! The president said there is no problem! I want you and the person in charge of the CN region to make a joint report, and we will give you a formal approval!"
It can be seen from Lu Zhen's expression that the result is for the better.
If it's just a college competition, it won't matter.
But it would be different if this college competition could qualify for the Major qualifiers.
At this time, Lu Yiming said with a smile: "Think about it! If a team is formed in the college competition in the future, from the preliminaries to the main competition, a sticker with the school badge will be issued~ You said that with this prerequisite, these students Will the team they are from fight for it? At the same time, if the school knows that its students can wear the school badge to participate in international competitions, what do you think the school's attitude will be?"
certainly!
This is the ideal situation.
There is a high probability that the team sent will be in the first round.
But there are exceptions to everything, right?
At least Lu Yiming has opened up this possibility by himself.
Hearing this, Lu Zhen also grinned and said, "This game of chess seems really playable!"
The school can be said to be the cleanest e-sports soil at the moment.
Even if they fail in the competition, these players are still people with experience in competitions.
At that time, by stimulating domestic capital and attracting players with outstanding performances in college competitions to form a new team, it will only take a few years to develop and expand CNCS.
Completely eliminate the current domestic teams that keep saying they love power.
Things like spinach and match-fixing are things that dogs cannot change from eating shit.
Once it's stuck, it's hard to go back.
Since Lu Yiming saw this information, he has not thought about cooperating with these people.
The two then discussed some details.
For example, the choice of college.
Lu Yiming’s idea is to directly recruit a hundred colleges and universities to join.
Another example is about the schedule rules.
Lu Yiming plans to add teams that must be Chinese and based on schools. Foreign players from other schools cannot appear. Players participating in the competition need to verify their academic status.
Hearing this, Lu Zhen asked doubtfully: "Is it necessary to be so strict?"
Follow his ideas.
If some schools recruit strong players from other schools for the sake of performance, this will be a good thing for the enjoyment of the game and eventually sending them to play in the Major qualifiers.
Hearing this, Lu Yiming complained: "You don't know how low some schools are in order to win! I once played a basketball game when I was in college, and it was against a medical school team, and TMD came to play with us. They are all black men about two meters tall! You can hire foreign aid, but only one!"
Hear this.
Lu Zhen held back his smile and nodded vigorously.
at this time.
Conference room downstairs.
Wang Jiming and ZFF also came to the end of their chat.
The conversation was pretty good at first.
After all, the two had met many times.
But just after Wang Jiming received a call, his expression gradually turned from enthusiastic to cold.
"We probably won't have to talk!"
Hear this.
ZFF was stunned.
Then he frowned and asked, "Is that the phone call just now? Can you tell me the reason?"
Wang Jiming didn't speak when he heard the sound.
At this time, an assistant knocked on the door and came in and delivered a document.
Wang Jiming motioned to ZFF to see for himself.
ZFF was very confused at this time.
Take the file into your hand.
A warm document means it has just been printed.
At this time, he opened the first page and looked at the content inside.
Then his pupils shrank.
Then he suddenly looked up at Wang Jiming and said, "Where does this come from?"
It seems that ZFF has no idea about this situation.
ZFF has shown several times that it cannot hide things in its heart.
Look at him like this now.
Wang Jiming shook his head and said: "You don't have to worry about this! As the boss of a team, if you don't know about this, I think you should also think about whether you have neglected the management of the team too much!"
boom!
ZFF slammed the information in his hand onto the table.
Then there was a lot of swearing.
All kinds of insulting words flew out of his mouth.
The one who was scolding was naturally the other boss of the team.
through this scene.
Wang Jiming is even more certain that ZFF may really be unaware.
But this is no longer important.
The change of policy has been decided above.
Originally they were asked to form a bureau together, but now they are all outsiders.
Wang Jiming reached out and took the file that ZFF had left on the table.
He tucked it under his arm and walked toward the door of the conference room.
When passing ZFF.
He patted him on the shoulder twice and said, "Although I sympathize with your experience! But you should have already made plans!"
