Recently, LGD Club released the news that club CEO Pan Jie has officially become a Peace Elite E-sports Professional Player through the PEL Peace Elite Professional League participation standards and registration procedures and procedures (ID "Hangzhou LGD. Long Bixia"), and will play in the PEL Professional League in the future.
"Long Bixia" is the real name of the heroine Xiaolongnü in Jin Yong's classic martial arts novel "Divine Eagle Hero". According to the information of LGD Peace Elite Club Branch, "Long Bixia" is still a youth player in the team, but on the poster of the team, she has firmly occupied the C position.
In addition, the new round of the Peace Elite event will start on March 10th, which will have half a month to practice for "youth trainer" Long Bixia.
There is precedent for esports club owners to play in person. The most well-known is the IG boss Wang Sicong's "100% win rate AD" meme, when Wang Sicong registered as a professional player, in a game of play, contributed to the audience "some length money can not buy" and "I can't A ah" and other stories.
After Wang Sicong personally appeared, the atmosphere of the boss personally playing spread. For example, G2 boss Oeclote has also personally played in the game, but this old brother is a professional single, and G2 has locked up a playoff spot at that time. In addition, EDG's boss Edju also said in a program that he had the idea of playing in person, but this idea was rejected by Abu in the team.
If the scope is expanded, there are more things that club owners play in person, and many entertainment stars have appeared for their own esports teams.
It is not difficult to find that the effect of the club owner playing the game is very significant, which is not reflected in the performance, but in the heat. The topic of the club owner personally being abused by the opposing players and the desperate protection of the boss by his own players is very interesting in itself, which is an effective marketing method.
What do you think of the LGD boss personally playing?
