From the initial impression of "Internet addicted teenagers" in the e-sports industry to now becoming one of the official projects of the Asian Games, it is very difficult to stumble all the way. However, in addition to the top players who can stand on the field and be seen by the audience, there are also many people who fall outside the arena. Some people earn some extra money through their own game technology before becoming professional players, and some people start a different career after the career path is not passed.
For example, the KPL is a big stage, there are countless players coming and going, and even the former star players have been reduced to the point of being accompanied.
Viewers who follow e-sports know that no matter what the e-sports event, a player's career is very short, and even on the road to the profession, countless people will be eliminated. And even if you become a professional player, if you can't make a name for yourself and become a top star player, the road after retirement is still very difficult.
In the current e-sports ecology, there are not many paths that professional players can choose after retiring. As far as the KPL is concerned, after the ordinary player retires, some of them can continue to stay on the stage in other ways, such as being a coach, entering the training group or trying to explain, but the number of people who can stay is limited. The other part is under the club's umbrella or runs its own live broadcast, while more players need to be "employed" through other means.
Previously, Aggro e-sports Yu Yu reported similar incidents, and after professional players were difficult to walk on the career road, some people chose to make a living by playing with them. Playing with a professional number will be much more expensive than the ordinary number, and if it is a star player, it is naturally more expensive. Yu Yu learned from the management of the relevant club that if the price of the general accompaniment is 100-140 an hour, then their signature professional players will not be too expensive, in addition to the KPL star players, generally below 200, the number of optional professional players is nearly 20 people.
And even some of the star players in the KPL, even if the price is 240 an hour, is only twice as expensive as ordinary accompaniment. However, if you want to arrange the class number to play the ranking, the requirements are more.
Of course, if a professional player spends too much time on playing with him, it naturally means that he is about to leave the professional team, and after a long time, he will also be invisible. I don't know what everyone thinks of the KPL's professional players frequently "going to the sea" when playing with this matter?
