League of Legends e-sports, as an event that has been in operation for more than ten years, is constantly improving in terms of event arrangement and viewing experience for players every year. The LPL division's schedule for the next year is about to begin, and the 17 teams will then return to the intense competition. With four years of triple crown performance, the LPL has become the well-deserved first division.
Of course, the development of the LPL division has not been smooth. For a long time, neither the team operator nor the player was understood by the outside world. The star-like treatment of team players today is unimaginable for decades to go back. As one of the earliest e-sports dreamers in the League of Legends LPL division, Shan Ruofeng in the former WE was deeply moved by this.
In a recent live broadcast, RuoFeng talked about Wang Sicong, the boss of the IG team. Although the strength of the IG team has declined year by year after winning the championship, Wang Sicong has not appeared in everyone's field of vision for a long time because of e-sports-related news, but when it comes to his contribution to the development of China's e-sports industry, Ruofeng still gives a very high affirmation.
Ruo Feng's original words are: "Principal Wang's contribution to e-sports is really very large, he attracted a lot of rich second generation to invest, I remember when I was still playing in the WE profession, when the salary was only 3-4K, Principal Wang came in and directly pulled the salary level line to 1W, and then invested money to let more people who were willing to invest money come in." ”
It is precisely because of the improvement of treatment that the management and operation of the LPL team has become more and more standardized, until it has gradually caught up with the Korean team. Gone are the days when five players and a BP coach came together as a team in the early years.
Perhaps because he has also become a team boss (League of Legends mobile game team Team Team Fire and Team Ice), Ruofeng also expressed in his own eyes, Wang Sicong's achievements as a team boss: "The championship has also been won (Ti champion, S championship), the brush has been brushed, and it doesn't matter if it is perfect as a boss." ”
Wakakaze, who has experienced the most difficult initial stages of e-sports, has enough say in the development of e-sports. I believe that most LPL viewers have seen the picture of Wakakaze curled up in the subway in his EARLY YEARS wearing a WE team uniform, when he had just transferred from Dota to League of Legends. At that time, the WE team was only newly established, and the treatment of players was also very low.
These are in stark contrast to today's LPL teams, which have been able to fly to foreign countries on charter flights.
Of course, the esports industry is constantly improving. Nowadays, working in the e-sports industry and becoming a professional player will no longer be cast with a different eye as before, but will be envied because of high income. These are all things that come with the development and growth of e-sports.
After reading so much, do you agree with Ruofeng's evaluation of Wang Sicong?
