Chapter 729 GPL League System Planning

The three club owners glanced at each other, and finally Ding Gan spoke.

"Mr. Pei, the performance of the contract is naturally to be performed, we businessmen have the spirit of contract, and it is impossible to repay the debt out of thin air."

"But...... Aside from the previous hiccupes, we do genuinely support the GPL League. ”

"I don't think it's as good as this, we will give 15 million in full, in addition, each of our clubs is willing to add another 5 million, the three clubs have a total of 60 million, and buy back three more GPL places, do you think it's okay?"

The three club owners had apparently discussed it before they came.

Things have come to this point, and there are very few choices in front of them.

Breaking the contract is definitely not good, this is equivalent to tearing up the face directly with Mr. Pei and all the clubs that have just taken a GPL place, and the face and money cannot be saved.

Of course, the three clubs could also choose to take the money and leave, but in that case, it would be almost impossible to return to the GPL.

Because judging from the situation of this auction, the GPL league places will definitely become more and more expensive, and now 15 million will sell the divisions and places together, and it will definitely be impossible to buy them back in the future.

Therefore, these three clubs want to try it and see if they can give Mr. Pei 20 million, and Mr. Pei can take out three more places.

Directly expand the number of places in the GPL league to 19.

Because the relevant matters of the GPL league have not yet been fully finalized, the matter of places is still being discussed.

But if in another month or two, after the GPL schedule and format are all finalized, it will be impossible to add more places.

In this way, the three clubs are equivalent to posting their GOG divisions and 5 million upside down, keeping the GPL places. A loss is definitely a loss, but at least it can stay.

As for Mr. Pei's side......

The 60 million in this period should make Mr. Pei a little tempted, right?

As for how the 19 teams will be arranged, how will the other clubs be appeased...... These trivial issues are not so important.

The three club owners looked at Mr. Pei expectantly.

The corners of Pei Qian's mouth twitched slightly.

Why do you want to send me money?

And if you don't agree with each other, you will send 60 million?

Pei Qian is still having a headache about how to spend the more than 100 million, this is just a little eyebrows, but these three clubs will send more than 60 million!

"No way!" Pei Qian said it categorically.

The three bosses were stunned.

Mr. Pei...... So resolute?

60 million, don't you think about it seriously?

Ding Gan hesitated: "Uh...... Mr. Pei, if you want money, you can actually discuss it again......"

"Why don't we add more?"

Pei Qian said in his heart.

Add money?

He took a sip of tea and quickly thought of a refusal:

"It's not about money at all."

"The 16 places were set very early. Further, the schedule is not easy to arrange. ”

"If you really add 19 teams, not only will there be games every day, but the interval between games for a single team will become too long, which is not conducive to maintaining the level."

"Tengda is a company that counts, and has already told other clubs and spectators that there are only 16 GPL league places, and if you collect money to do things, it is equivalent to slapping yourself in the face."

"It can't be."

The three club owners looked at each other, their expressions a little bitter.

Who can be blamed for this?

can only say that he was confused for a while, and he was originally holding the GPL and laughing at the script of other people's heads for admission, but now he has made trouble and lost his place.

I got up early in the morning and rushed to a late meeting, who can stand this!

Ding Gan still didn't give up, and proposed a new plan: "Then, Mr. Pei, or else." There should be a relegation system for GPL leagues, right? Let's rebuild the team and play back to the GPL, that's okay, right? ”

Pei Qian was silent for a moment: "In the GPL league, there is no promotion and relegation system. ”

"There will be an Internet café league, there will be a career development league GDL, and the Internet café league will screen out the places in the GDL. But without relegation, the winner of the GDL will not be eligible for a GPL spot. ”

The three club owners were dumbfounded, their expressions were extremely heartbroken, and they felt like they had lost 100 million.

For the structure of the entire GOG e-sports league ecology, Pei Qian has also been thinking about it in the past few days.

The Internet café league and the GDL must be done, but the key is whether there should be a relegation or relegation match.

In fact, whether there is a promotion or promotion system, the impact on Pei Qian's personal impact is minimal, because the official will not directly get income from it.

Therefore, Pei Qian considers it from the perspective of the entire event.

After all, he still has an identity as an ordinary spectator of the GPL League, and in order to see more exciting games, and for the GPL League to win glory in the World Finals, Pei Qian must establish a better system for the GPL League.

The experience in Pei Qian's memory shows that the promotion and promotion system is a system that looks beautiful, but in fact has little meaning and will have a certain counterproductive effect.

Many people believe that the relegation and relegation tournament will put pressure on the bottom team of the GPL, and at the same time give motivation to the top team of the GDL, making the competition more fierce and conducive to the improvement of the overall level.

But the problem is that this theory is too idealistic, and in practice, the situation is completely reversed.

For the bottom team in the GPL, the pressure of relegation and relegation is indeed very high, because once relegated means that all the work is wasted and losses are lost.

But in this case, in order to be able to successfully relegate, more clubs will not cultivate new players and train new players, but will choose to let those experienced players continue to play.

Because there are risks associated with using new players, and if you fail, you will lose a lot; Although the veteran players have no potential and ceiling to speak of, they are stable enough and very fierce.

Even if a veteran player is beaten up as an experienced baby in the GPL League, as long as he can abuse the leader of the GDL.

For GDL teams, in order to grab a GPL spot, directly spending money to buy strong veteran players or foreign aid is the quickest way to do it.

Therefore, a system that is intended to strengthen competition objectively allows all teams to focus only on the immediate strength on paper and ignore the long-term goals.

Some potential newcomers will find it difficult to play in this utilitarian environment, which is completely contrary to the original intention of the system.

On the contrary, the relegation and relegation system has been abolished, and the clubs will promote more newcomers to the field, and the style of play will be more aggressive, and there will not be a situation where both teams seek stability and dare not fight.

Therefore, after Pei Qian thought about it again, he felt that it was better not to have a relegation and relegation match.

Ding Gan had a bitter face: "Mr. Pei, isn't it impossible for our club to return to the GPL in this life?" ”

"Mr. Pei, we SUG have been deeply involved in the field of e-sports for many years, and if the GPL excludes us, this is also a loss!"

Pei Qian looked at the three club owners and said, "This ...... It's not entirely impossible to come back, either. ”

"If you want to maintain the GPL quota, you need to keep investing. Once the club is at the bottom and loses in a row, it will not be able to bring brand value to the parent company, but will become a burden, and there will definitely be clubs who want to quit. ”

"At this time, we will act as an intermediary to facilitate the transfer of GPL places."

"And clubs that have achieved good results in the GDL league will get a 30% discount when they buy GPL places."

That is to say, when a club burns money and can't produce results, you can choose to enable new people, cultivate new people, continue to survive, or you can choose to transfer, stop losses in time and make a profit at the same time.

In this way, it not only ensures the interests of the existing GPL league teams, so that they will not suffer too much loss whether they stay or leave, and can invest with confidence, but also provides certain convenience for the clubs of the GDL league.

Ding Gan and the other two club owners were silent for a long time, and could only nod helplessly.

"Okay, Mr. Pei."

They can't help it, and that's the best solution they can get.

At least I still have 15 million in my hands.

After playing the GDL first, forming a team and training players, some outstanding players can be sold to GPL teams at a high price, and at the same time, when the GPL quota changes, they can get the right to enter first, and they can spend less money.

The owners of the three clubs never thought that they just wanted to put a little pressure on Tengda and make Tengda make some concessions on the issue of players' standard contracts.

As a result, I never expected that I would lose all the games while playing, and it became like this.

……

After the three club owners left, Pei Qian said to Zhang Yuan: "I have thought about the rules of the GPL league. ”

"Internet café competition, professional development league GDL, professional league GPL. The GPL places, as I said earlier, do not have relegation and relegation tournaments, but they are transferable. ”

"As for the money for these clubs to buy places, it is divided into three parts."

"The first part is to go back to these clubs and let them use their funds exclusively to maintain the youth base. Each club must have a youth training base to absorb some young, potential, but temporarily not strong enough to play in the professional league, so that these newcomers can feel the professional atmosphere in advance, face up to the matter of playing professionally earlier, and get ready. ”

"The second part is to support the development of the GDL league and the Internet café competition. The professional development league has relatively little attention, and more support and exposure opportunities are given to these clubs. ”

"The third part, which is used as the day-to-day operation, maintenance, and construction of the GPL."

Zhang Yuan was stunned for a moment: "Huh? Mr. Pei, only use this money to maintain the daily operation of the GPL? I'm afraid that the rent of the venue and all kinds of miscellaneous expenses can't be covered, right? ”

Pei Qian nodded: "Of course it can't be covered, and it is impossible to cover it with this money." ”

"In the future, there will be tickets for competitions, sponsors and advertisers, and there will be many ways to make money."

"Tengda is the organizer, don't always stare at the small profits in front of you, take a long-term view. If the money is not enough, Tengda will pay it in advance first, and then talk about it when it makes money later. ”

Zhang Yuan couldn't help but be in awe.

Sure enough, Mr. Pei still has a long-term goal!

Although this money is not visible in the short term, in the long run, it will definitely have a huge improvement in the ecology of the entire e-sports industry!

In fact, Pei Qian didn't think about it so much, he just chose a plan with the lowest chance of making money at the moment.

There are only three ways to get this money: either it will be smashed into the league and promoted vigorously; or all of them are thrown at the club, and the training base and environment are transformed; Or smash it into the cultivation system.

If the popularity skyrockets and attracts many big sponsors, then maybe even this cycle will not last until it starts to make a profit.

Judging from past experience, this is not a low likelihood.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Pei Qian still smashed into the training system, built a youth training base for the club, and supported the development of GDL and Internet café competitions.
