Chapter 290: Unspoken Rules and Shady Scenes

The match between Team IE and Team KT of South Korea, Match 2.

Joon's mid-laner Raven played well, and finally won the game in 34 minutes with a mid-term advantage and a super tactical design.

Joon proved the strength of the KKKT team with mid-laner Raven.

The score became 1 to 1.

Time to enter the intermission.

The game progressed Lin Mo and the demon team were just spectators, this was a battle at the top, and it was one of the pinnacle battles in the game, and they didn't have much of a qualification to comment or give advice to express their opinions.

During the intermission, Lian Xuan'er and Li Youran were summoned to the lounge by Gao Xuejian to discuss countermeasures. Lin Mo didn't follow the past, it was better to leave such time to them, he was self-aware.

A few people from the Demon Clan, people from the IE Second Team, plus some people they know, walked to the rest hall, went shopping, went to the bathroom, or other things.

Su Xiaoliang felt that the hall was too noisy, so Lin Mo took Su Xiaoliang to follow Junyan, the captain of the second IE team, and the auxiliary Shufeng to a relatively quiet lounge.

Because it was the first time Lin Mo took her to meet his friend, Su Xiaoliang seemed a little restrained. But Shufeng and Junyan are the kind of people who are more sincere, and they are somewhat similar to Guan Chen, and they are not like Monkey and Kang Ke who will tease Lin Mosu for being obedient.

The rest of the game doesn't know the result yet, alas, it's like this every time they play, it's worrying. Shofu and Toshihiko discuss the game.

Mozi, what are you thinking? Toshihiko noticed that Lin Mo hadn't spoken all this time, worried that something was going on with Lin Mo.

Nothing. Lin Mo shook his head with a smile, but inexplicable thoughts had been lingering in his mind.

was said by Toshihiko like this, and the style of the book also felt that something was wrong, and I also felt a little wrong, could it be that there are younger brothers and sisters pretending to be gentlemen in your kid, right?

If you really say that, I really have questions for you to ask. Lin Mo finally found a breakthrough, and if he wants to understand the real high-level professional circle, Shufeng and Toshihiko should be able to explain some things.

Oh? Hearing that Lin Mo had a problem, it was the first time to see Lin Mo so formal, and the two of them were also interested, they knew that Lin Mo and even the demon team were growing too fast, but they were destined to not have enough experience in the professional circle if they grew too fast. Some incurable diseases are unavoidable. As good friends and training partners, they are interested in solving Lin Mo's problems.

Shufeng opened his mouth and asked Lin Mo to talk about it.

Well, you have been in this circle for a long time, and I have only been in this circle for less than half a year, and as you know, my master has always been on top of it, and we have basically not encountered any major difficulties. So a lot of things are not well understood.

Lin Mo tried his best to brew his own words, wanting to ask more bluntly, but he was afraid that there would be something inappropriate about Li Youran and Gao Xueji's plan.

This one??? This one??? The book style was foggy, and he didn't know what Lin Mo wanted to know, and he would talk about the specifics.

For example, the rules in this circle or something? Lin Mo only gave a general concept.

You mean the rules of the esports world? Or is it shady? Toshihiko understood Lin Mo's intentions.

Lin Mo nodded.

There are a lot of shady rules. Toshihiko is also a veteran in the esports circle, and some things are normal when he sees too much. To put it simply, the e-sports circle is like the entertainment industry, although the exposure and influence are not so sufficient, but many aspects are still chaotic.

You mean the unspoken rules? Lin Mo first thought of this in the entertainment industry. The word unspoken rules is involved in all walks of life, and the entertainment industry is of course the most straightforward place for unspoken rules, but is there also an unspoken rule in the e-sports circle?

Unspoken rules??? Junyan looked at Lin Mo, and then at Su Xiaoliang.

It's okay. Lin Mo knew that Junyan was taking into account Su Xiaoyan's feelings as a lady, Su Xiaoyan was a relatively gentle person, and Lin Mo didn't need to hide anything, so he signaled Junyan to say with confidence.

There are unspoken rules, you know, many teams are teams that are smashed out by rich businessmen and wealthy business owners for fun, or rich second generations who invest money on a whim for fun. So it's inevitable that there are no such things as unspoken rules, especially for women's teams.

I didn't think there really was. Although Lin Mo also expected it in his heart, he was still a little shocked when he was really sure.

How could there be. Junyan's face was a little helpless, the big clubs are fine, the big clubs have strict procedures, and the outside world has a lot of attention, and there are not many of these things. The unspoken rule is mainly that there are small teams, and there are generally few clubs. You have Brother Youran covered with them, and it's a professional league, so I haven't encountered it.

In fact, many e-sports teams in society, that is, the rich second generation I mentioned, the local tyrants who spend money on hobbies and hobbies, they are just playing, and their goals are not in the professional league, let alone thinking about any e-sports dreams. Their usual competitions are some regional competitions, or some exhibition matches, or Internet café competitions, and many female players are blinded, and unspoken rules are very common.

Forehead??? Lin Mo had to admit that Toshihiko was telling the truth, he was really good, he had never participated in any small events until now, basically started directly from the professional league, and it was normal not to understand.

And yes. The style of writing is also a sigh, and many professional team members are also scum. There have been such things now, some professional players use their popularity to use the worship of others to obtain countless beauties when they broadcast live on YY, or in the fan base. These people think that they are professional players, and they have to feel that they are much more arrogant, and in fact it is not a big deal, but there are still people who are fooled.

This one??? Lin Mo really didn't expect a professional player to do such a thing.

Toshihiko was somewhat helpless when he said these things, after all, he was also a member of the super team. Don't make a fuss, you'll know when you get in touch with more in the future, especially the Super League, there are a lot of people around, what commentary, what cosply models, and promotional models, or other people in the circle, it's very mixed, many girls want to go further, plus a boss, it's easy to have such unspoken rules.

Junyan's words actually shocked Lin Mo and Su Xiaoyan very much, Lin Mo initially thought that the e-sports circle was a place where everyone struggled to chase their ideals, but later learned that there were conflicts of interest, and it might not be as simple as imagined. But now I know that it is so chaotic.

What about the unspoken rules? After all, there is Su Xiaoliang by his side, Lin Mo still doesn't want to listen to these peachy rules, as long as he thinks about it a little, he can figure it out, and he doesn't have to ask deeply.

In addition to the unspoken rules??? Toshihiko groaned, there are many words outside the unspoken rules, such as regional competitions, many powerful clubs, in order to increase the popularity of their teams, in order to increase the qualifications on their resumes, so as to profit There are also a lot of despicable means.

Oh? Lin Mo didn't expect that there were also many scandals in the club, and Lin Mo just cheered up to hear if it was possible to talk about Li Youran and their situation.

For example, in regional competitions, many powerful clubs will directly buy the championship and play fake matches, just like the national football team, all for profit, you can imagine. After all, many clubs rely on teams to promote their sponsors' products.

Lin Mo thought about it slightly, and he was able to figure it out. Now the Demon Club is still in the group investment, there is no endorsement sponsorship, so it is still in a state of loss, also because there is no corresponding interest chain, if you want to make a profit, sponsors are one of them, and there is also a championship bonus.

The Demon Club may make money in the future, but only if the Demon Sentai takes it a step further. When the time comes, many channels can make money.

I don't know much about these economic issues, but I know a little bit about them. For example, a big club like the Royal Peak, they just use money to make money. Their general manager, Huang Guangji, is a well-known moneyist, they don't train players, and most of the time they directly buy finished players with outstanding skills with heavy money, or directly poach them with heavy money. As far as I know, Conk had this kind of problem in the first place. Moneyists like them will upset the balance in the circle, and the competitive environment will become very bad.

I know that. Lin Mo nodded. Speaking of this kind of behavior of the peak of the royal family, Lin Mo knows a little, but it is undeniable that their behavior can always ensure competitiveness, and in turn promote their sponsorship, in fact, they use money to make money, which is true.

Lin Mo hated this kind of behavior at the peak of the Royal Clan, which is also the place where so many teams in the league sought after or hated the Royal Club.

It's not the same with the Purple Gold Club. Shufeng was very proud at this time. Our club and Zijin Club both make money through their own brand promotion, and we make our own brand, so there are many times the cultivation of potential players, and there is no malicious damage to the league environment.

What about your income? Where did it come from? Lin Mo is very curious about how the IE Club operates, without outside sponsorship, where does the profit come from?

Of course, it is to make your own e-sports peripheral brand, or to make money from the YY live channel, because our club's fame and fan base are very large, and there is no malicious competition and sponsorship problem if we directly make our own brand and promote our own products.

Shufeng and Toshihiko continued to explain the corresponding problems to Lin Mo.

For the first time, Lin Mo also had an understanding of the operation of the club and the deeper interests of the e-sports circle.

From these so-called shady scenes, Lin Mo can be regarded as gradually touching some shortcomings in the professional circle.

Perhaps, Li Youran is doing something, that is, he wants to sanction certain behaviors that spoil the atmosphere of the professional circle - like clubs such as the Royal Peak.

[This chapter can be regarded as a real touch on some of the current realities of the e-sports circle, peach scandals, match-fixing, interest disputes, sponsorship, or some bad poaching, which are all very real problems that destroy the environment of China's e-sports circle, I believe readers who pay attention to the e-sports circle know it. A large part of the reason is that esports is not valued in the country, and there are no mature league rules and regulations, which is not uncommon. The esports world is far from being as pure as we think, and dreams are actually a rarity in the esports world. Where there are people, there are rules. Where there is interest, there is shady.
