The King's Avatar: Boss Yanyu marries Yunxiu

Chapter 158 New competition system reform, endorsements are getting soft [Subscription]

In the new season, not only did the major teams in the league undergo a major change, but the league's competition system also underwent a major reform.

Because in last season's games, there were many times where the winner was decided in advance after the first half of the individual competition.

This situation caused the most exciting team competition to lose its meaning, which was very detrimental to the development of Honor.

To avoid this situation, the competition system has been reformed this season.

The regular season is still based on a points system. After 38 rounds of games, the top eight teams will advance to the playoffs based on their points ranking.

The points system comes from 3 points for singles matches, 2 points for ring matches, and 6 points for team matches.

The points system for singles and tournaments remains unchanged, but team matches are scored based on head count.

That is to say, in a team competition, you can get points based on how many enemies you kill.

This will avoid the situation of over-scoring, which would result in the winner of the team competition being decided in advance without even having to play.

The playoffs do not use a points system, but a best-of-three system.

The advantage of home map selection will also be cancelled. There will be no home or away games in the future Glory League, and all games will be randomly selected by the system.

This kind of match avoids the situation in last season's finals where Yanyu used the Stone Forest map to restrain all members of Samsara. It also increases randomness and more possibilities.

However, this competition system is launched for the first time, and whether it is practical or not still needs to be verified through competition.

The above is the details of the new competition system.

In fact, only four points were changed.

First, team competitions are scored based on head count.

The second point is the best-of-three system.

The third point is to cancel the home team’s map selection advantage.

Fourthly, the higher-ranked teams will have one more home game, which can greatly increase box office revenue and stimulate the major regular season teams to madly rush for the rankings. There will be no malicious control of points to select opponents.

The emergence of the new competition system has also forced all major leagues to conduct emergency training to familiarize themselves with the tactical arrangements of the new competition system.

Time flies quickly in the busy schedule.

A few days before the start of the new season, Yanyu held two press conferences.

The first press conference mainly announced the news of Wei Chen's retirement.

Wang Zi expressed his gratitude to the veteran Wei Chen at the meeting, recognized Wei Chen's merits and contributions, and said that without Wei Chen, there might not be the championship Yanyu and many other remarks praising Wei Chen.

In the eyes of the audience, Wang Zi's words may be to make Wei Chen retire happily, so he praised Wei Chen's merits, but in fact, what Wang Zi said was the truth.

In last year's playoffs, when playing against Blue Rain, it was the tactics suggested by Wei Chen that allowed Misty Rain to successfully defeat Blue Rain and advance to the finals.

In the finals, Wei Chen's assist tactics also played an indispensable role.

Wei Chen himself did not keep a low profile in front of the camera. When the league sent him the championship ring of last season's exclusive championship team, Wei Chen wore the championship ring all day long.

The ring is engraved with Wei Chen's name and the words "Season 8 Champion", representing Wei Chen's personal honor and Yanyu's team honor.

So during the interview, Wei Chen would show the ring on his hand to the camera from time to time, just like those people who wear watches, who always subconsciously show off their famous watches or fake watches.

After holding a retirement ceremony for Wei Chen, Wei Chen took up the position of vice president of the Yanyulou Guild, assisting Yanyu Suolou in creating a career in the online game department.

Wang Zi would not treat Wei Chen unfairly, and the salary he offered to Wei Chen was the same high salary as that of the general manager Yanyu Suolou. In addition to holding a retirement ceremony for Wei Chen, Yanyu also held a press conference for the new season, mainly to interview Yanyu about the goals for the new season and whether there would be any plans to recruit players this season.

When faced with such an interview, Wang Zi's answer was naturally that Yanyu's goal was to win the championship, to strive for the team's second championship, and also to strive for the second consecutive championship in the history of Glory.

The reporter also asked Wang Zi whether the actions of teams like Tyranny and Vici Gaming this year would affect Yanyu's goal of winning the championship.

Wang Zi's answer first affirmed the fact that Team Vici Gaming and Team Tyranny had become stronger, especially Team Tyranny's lineup, which was no longer inferior to their Yanyu.

But later, Wang Zi once again affirmed his own strength and confidence. No matter how strong the opponent was, they Yanyu still firmly believed that the championship belonged to Yanyu.

These answers, which neither offend anyone nor lose momentum, can be said to be perfect.

After the press conference, Wang Zi also made an important decision.

That is, he resigned from the positions of team manager and operations director, and returned the team manager to Fei Zaixiang. As for the operations manager, he asked his father Wang Daihai to reassign the person.

The reason why Wang Zi quit these positions was not because he couldn't take care of them, but because he was in a relationship now and really didn't have the energy to take care of the team's affairs.

However, although Wang Zi resigned from his position, he still retained the executive power.

In other words, any operations of the team must be notified to him immediately, and decisions can only be made after his consent.

Especially in the operations department, all operational decisions must be approved by Wang Zi.

Wang Daihai had no objection to this.

Last year, Wang Zi took charge of the operations department. Yanyu’s popularity has increased by nearly 30%, and Chu Yunxiu’s popularity is almost catching up with Su Mucheng.

This shows that Wang Zi’s character creation is extremely successful.

As for the operation of the team, the series of operations that Wang Zi came up with, from the skill point strategy, to the account level upgrade, to the recruitment of Wei Chen and Zhang Jiale, etc., were all strokes of genius.

The fact that Yanyu won the championship last year is enough to explain everything.

If Wang Zi didn't have to play in professional competitions and couldn't take care of the team's affairs, Wang Daihai would have wanted to abdicate and hand over the Yanyu team to Wang Zi.

After Yanyu won the championship this year, Wang Daihai was busy during the two months of the offseason, receiving various endorsements.

From the most basic mouse and keyboard, to snacks and beverages, to watches and mobile phones, even shampoo, skin care products, cars and so on, all kinds of endorsements are endless.

Wang Zi looked at the financial statements and found that a total of seven team collective endorsement contracts were signed during the two months of the off-season, with a total value of 5 million yuan (2 years), or 1 million yuan per year.

Then there are a total of twenty-two personal endorsements for the contestants, with a total value of 2.5 million (1 year).

Among them, the endorsements of Wang Zi and Chu Yunxiu accounted for more than half of the total endorsements.

In other words, Yanyu signed a super large contract worth 5 million yuan a year this year.

After deducting half of the profits from these contracts which are given to the players and daily expenses, the club can still make nearly 2 million in net income.

This is the benefit of winning the championship, you will get so much money that you can’t hold it all.

This is also one of the reasons why so many clubs are willing to rack their brains and desperately pursue the championship.

The regular season of the ninth season is in full swing.

Because of the reform of the new competition system, every team has shown a new style in the new season. The weak teams are fighting to avoid relegation, the strong teams are working hard to enter the playoffs, and the giants are preparing for the championship.
