LOL: I've already been transferred to the manager, but you just came to the system

Chapter 199: Head coach warm-up hype?

Gaining recognition from elders, especially parents, may be a similarity that this group of e-sports players can resonate with.

It doesn’t matter how much income or fame one has, simple people just want to prove themselves.

So when the other team members heard that Xiang Tao's parents would come to the scene to cheer him on from the beginning of the qualifying round, they were envious.

After all, parents who are open-minded, understand e-sports, and support their children to enter this industry are really rare!

Along the way, because of this, everyone's conversations with Daan had a bit of a lemony feel.

694 was deeply touched by the inner thoughts of the players, and naturally he envied Daan for having a pair of relatively open-minded parents. When he was a professional player before he made any achievements, he dared not reveal his profession when he returned to his hometown, for fear of being talked about by neighbors in front of his parents. The so-called e-sports was only slightly better than screwing in screws on the field.

“The salary may seem high, but it’s just a job for young people.”

But all this seemed to change after he became a coach. In a club with hundreds of millions of dollars of investment, being an assistant coach in it suddenly became a "serious job" in the eyes of his parents!

In the past, the parents never told outsiders about their jobs, but now when they chat with others about family matters, they don’t seem so embarrassed about their son becoming an assistant coach for a certain e-sports team.

"Come closer, we're taking the expedition photo."

After packing up, the staff asked the contestants to line up at the gate.

One of the aspects of commercialization of e-sports is the operation of fan economy. It is a positive job for the club to grasp the scale and interact appropriately with fans who follow the team.

For example, now that they are about to leave the club and board the plane, it is just a piece of cake for them to take a photo and post it on the official Weibo.

If you want to make money by running a club, you have to have results, traffic and attention. There is no need to say much about the results. Traffic and attention are more mysterious. Sometimes it is a certain traffic player, and sometimes it is the team that has its own hot topics, such as UZI and LGD. Unlike TES, a large part of the current traffic is concentrated on him as the boss, so many things have to be transferred to the team and the players little by little by him.

Facing the camera, the contestants either squatted or stood, while Lin Shuyang was on the right side of the team. Considering that he didn't need to be too serious without wearing a suit, he pulled the heads of Garlic Turtle and Aable, made the evil scissors hand gesture, and posed a special POSS that was enough to amuse the fans when the camera was pressed!

"set off!"

After taking the photos, the club’s publicity staff was responsible for editing the photos and uploading them to the official Weibo account. Lin Shuyang extended his hand and signaled the players to board the base vehicle.

“Wuhan—here we come!”

……

It only takes one or two hours to fly from Shanghai to Wuhan, and Lin Shuyang did not make any business class arrangements for the players.

Firstly, being high-profile in the absence of any results may easily cause unnecessary rhythm; secondly, most domestic flights are in economy class, and it is a waste of time to wait for a business class flight for a very short journey. It's not that he wants to deduct the players' travel expenses, but it would be more practical to use this time to arrange hotels and meals for the players in Wuhan.

Before they set off, two logistics staff members of TES had already set off a day ahead of them to scout out issues such as food and accommodation for the team.

Of course, considering the large number of people in the economy class, Lin Shuyang still upgraded the contestants and bought the first three rows of so-called "first-class" seats. The first three rows are separated from the economy class by a curtain, and the seats are relatively spacious so that people will not feel overly uncomfortable during the flight.

"If you need a blanket, please let me know. There is no signal on the plane. You can just sleep on it and you will arrive." said the staff in charge of logistics.

Although it is summer now, the air conditioner is on in the air. If the contestants want to sleep, they'd better cover themselves with a blanket to avoid catching a cold.

"Brother Zhao, give me one!"

"I also want."

Garlic Turtle was the first to order one. He didn't sleep well last night because of the overexcited Da'an, so he just happened to catch up on his sleep on the plane.

BeryL waved his hand, "I don't need that." He cached all the videos in advance before boarding the plane, and two hours was just enough for him to watch them twice more.

In last year's World Championship, Russia's ANX performed very well. GMB may also have tactics like Anivia and Poppy, and Brand and Steelmaking waiting for them. As the team's commander, it is always good to be more prepared.

Riot updated version 7.18 before the World Championship. Among the tactical routines arranged by Brother Yang, each one has very high requirements for his support position.

For example, switching from the bottom lane to the middle lane, and how to cooperate with the jungle.

In team battles, the AD becomes the jungler. When choosing Sion, how to ensure vision to prevent the opponent from using this lane to quickly increase economy and level.

The coach was right when he said something in the pre-match mobilization: only if you achieve good results can you get the treatment you want.

He is more eager to achieve results than anyone else!

"NetEase games are too expensive. Every time a new shikigami comes out, I have to spend 648. It's a bit hard on my wallet."

……

It is different from the players who just sleep and those who just practice and watch videos.

Lin Shuyang was still struggling with the personal branding plan sent by his parent company before boarding the plane.

It has nothing to do with the team itself. It is a new cooperation between Top Esports’ parent company and itself.

"Go as far as possible in S7, and use Riot's ranking of coaches to further improve your personal reputation... If necessary, you can play one or two games and use the popularity of the head coach's warm-up to hype yourself up."

Yes, the hype of the head coach warming up.

This is a proposal that the players are unaware of. The parent company wants to take advantage of the huge traffic from the alliance next year to take the lead in launching the team's peripheral brand operations. Then, because there are no star players in the team, it is proposed that the boss and coach himself should complete it.

But no matter what, the main stage of e-sports is still for the players competing on stage. Taking this into consideration, the group of behind-the-scenes planners euphemistically stated that in this S7, he could play one or two games as a substitute player in the qualifying stage.

By the way, when it came to the substitute quota reported by TES, 694 took into consideration the lack of experience of the second team's players and acted as a king of ideas, filling in the player ID that his head coach had been registering in the LPL.

Adding the two together, this is the brilliant move of the planning department of Top Esports' parent company.

Of course, Riot has never actually prohibited team coaches from playing in games as players. The reason why you basically don't see head coaches going on the court to warm up in the e-sports circle is more about role positioning and responsibility conflicts, as well as their own lack of ability.

In the Vietnam region in later generations, Saofan, who had become the boss, often switched back and forth between the three roles of boss, coach, and even player.

"We still have to think long-term. To hype it up, we can first ask a few bloggers or e-sports editors to post some vague speculations."

He will consider whatever situation he is in, and whatever is beneficial to the club, as long as it is appropriate.

Come back to play professionally?
One fish and three meals.

Why not if you have the ability?

In terms of team peripheral brand operation, this is something that must be done. This is a collaboration with Top Esports' parent company in his personal name, in which he can hold the majority of the shares. Top Esports will use the added value brought by the team brand to further expand its scale in the field of sporting goods. He has no reason to refuse.

It just involves the team's performance in the world game, he can't lose the big picture for the sake of small gains.
