The schedule of the LPL Summer Tournament has now ended, and each team has also been assigned to the "Peak" and "Nirvana" groups due to their performance. The RNG team is one of the members of the "Nirvana" group, and recently, the former RNG head coach Xiaopeng, when he participated in the canteen program, revealed a very explosive news: coaches from other branches came to take over the training.
On the other hand, TES's bottom laner JKL mentioned the participation in the Oil Cup during the live broadcast, which triggered a new rhythm. Because the organizer only provides economy class tickets, the whole TES team chose to upgrade. And this move attracted a sharp comment from the interstellar commentator Huang Xudong, and complained that "young people can't endure hardships...... Without further ado, let's take a look at today's LOL circle hot spots.
The coach of the Glory of Kings division teaches the LOL division ban
On the closing night of the LPL Summer Tournament, the canteen program arrived as scheduled. After Guan Zeyuan opened a TES last time, this time the former RNG coach xiaopeng also "exploded" again.
At that time, xiaopeng's original words were: "A manager from another department came to the LPL side of RNG and told the boss that there was a problem with our first BP, and if he banned three of them like this, the opposite side would not be able to play, and he would be able to win." The boss said 'you're right'. Later, the boss said, "Listen to you, let's do it first according to your ideas!" ”
Through analysis, everyone speculated that this match should be the previous BO3 against WE. The coaches of the other divisions mentioned are the RNG Honor of Kings Division. As soon as this news came out, the call to question RNG's unprofessionalism gradually rose, and the follow-up even caused a response from me.
Today, RNG's current King Glory Division's training director "Liang Breeze Youxin" posted a Weibo dynamic to refute the content mentioned by xiaopeng in the canteen program. and said that he was transferred to the KPL division on June 4, and it was impossible to affect RNG's subsequent results in the LPL, and frankly said that xiaopeng hoped to shake off the pot in a rhythmic way.
At present, this incident has become another "Rashomon" incident on the Internet. Although it was about RNG, both of them were no longer on the team. And then again, no matter what the specific situation is at the time, the subsequent results of RNG are always played by the players themselves. RNG, which has only one win at this stage, still needs to prove itself in the next fixtures.
JKL complained about the oil cup economy class was counter-complained
This Thursday, the Esports World Cup League of Legends project will begin. The LPL region will send two teams, BLG and TES, to participate in the competition. In recent days, the players have flown to Saudi Arabia one after another. However, due to limited budget, the organizer of this trip is only willing to reimburse the economy class ticket.
TES lower laner JKL complained during the live broadcast a few days ago that this time it was a "self-funded game", because the trip of more than ten hours was too long, and the whole team chose to upgrade. For these professional players with an annual salary of millions and tens of millions, this is indeed not a big deal, but Huang Xudong, the interstellar commentator, gave a different opinion.
also expressed his stance during the live broadcast, Huang Xudong believed: "LOL players are still complaining, complaining about the oil cup for economy class!" I can only say that the current young players, TMD has never suffered hardship! They added their own upgrades, but I said they didn't suffer! Older esports players don't feel much of this! There's no rhythm here, so there's no hardship! Worth tens of millions, is this? ”
As an older generation of e-sportsmen, Huang Xudong is a witness to the vigorous development of e-sports. In the early years, professional players did suffer, and many people lived on prize money. Even in the LOL circle, the photos of Ruofeng taking the subway to the game are still classic, and the gap between the two and the current one is still obvious.
But if it's still the same as it was a decade ago, isn't esports developing in vain? TES's self-paid upgrade didn't affect anyone. After all, esports still has to rely on strength, and if TES can achieve good enough results, then these are not problems. Hopefully, they will be able to prove themselves against GEN on July 5th.
KC achieved profitability in three years
Although esports has been a new industry in recent years, the operation of a team has never been a simple matter. There are hundreds of League of Legends professional teams around the world, but only a handful can make a profit, and most of the time they are operating at a loss. However, in the LEC division, there is a team that has achieved profitability within three years by relying on the fan economy.
- This team is KC.
KC is a new team in the LEC region this year, and it has been very popular since the days when it played in the French league. The popularity of their competition in Europe is directly comparable to that of the LEC season finals. This year KC joined the LEC League, but the results were not good. The Winter, Spring, and Summer Seasons only touched the playoff threshold.
But even so, it still doesn't prevent KC from making huge profits through team uniforms and other goods. In 2023 alone, this figure is as high as 2.5 million euros. Compared to other LEC teams, KC's peripheral income is 4-10 times higher than theirs. And because KC has come to the larger platform of LEC this year, the projected revenue in 2024 will reach 4 million euros.
There is no doubt about the commercial value of KC and the strength of their fans, all they need is a chance to show themselves. If KC can enter the S competition this year, I believe that the team's income data will be on a higher level.
