After the World Championship draw ceremony, there was news that QG was going to sell KPL seats. At first, it was shocking to hear this news, because the sale of seats normally means a name change, such as Kuaishou's acquisition of YTG, TT Voice's acquisition of XQ, Weibo's acquisition of TS, etc. In fact, as early as March, it was rumored that QG would sell the team, but there was a disagreement about the source of the acquisition of QG, and it was only yesterday that it was officially determined that it was Fosun Group.
Fosun Group has a wide range of businesses, involving pharmaceuticals, real estate, steel, mining, retail, service industries, etc., and is a top large enterprise. QG boss Mu Mu once posted at the beginning of the year: "The environment of e-sports is a bubble that is blown out, and the rich second generation of e-sports needs to draw an end", and the remarks of the boss Mu Mu have also been considered to sell the team and run. As a brand of Fosun, the Premier League Wolves followed the QG club on Weibo, which undoubtedly confirmed this statement.
In fact, the first rumor to acquire QG is not Fosun, but JD.com. So some viewers will ask: Why is Fosun buying QG Club? Because in the news on June 1, Lin Jiayu was officially appointed as the co-chairman of the board of directors of Warburg International. And who is Lin Jiayu? It is QG's boss Mumu. Fosun holds a 7% stake in Warburg International, which makes sense. This also shows that the QG boss is not selling the team to run, but returning home to inherit the family business.
QG has received numerous accolades since joining the KPL Alliance in 2017. As a five-time champion with Hero at number one and the only Grand Slam club. Many fans are worried that QG will cease to exist after it is acquired, but the QG team name is not unsettled. Because given the relationship between the QG boss and Fosun, it is very likely that it is the same operation as eStar. We all know that He Youjun entered eStar, and then V5 and eStar announced their merger. Although Xiao T sold most of its stake, the team name of eStar has not changed. If you use high emotional intelligence, the answer is "equity dilution".
If big capital like Wolves enters the league, it's a good thing for QG. Because e-sports is no longer a game of the second generation of the rich, it needs a big business to support, after all, the back is against the tree to cool off. If the QG team name is retained, QG will become the league's number one club. And if QG's slogan "Born Fearless, Fight to the End" is retained, then QG will be a qualitative leap.
What do you think about "QG boss Mumu returned home to inherit the family business, Wolves Weibo followed QG, and the QG team name was retained"? Do you think the acquisition of QG is a good thing for QG? Welcome to discuss together in the comments section.
