CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Lu Yiming has a lot of online traffic.

Late April to early May.

Netizens are all paying attention to what players his team has acquired.

But the focus is all on the star players.

After all, Lu Yiming is widely recognized as being very wealthy.

Assembling an all-star team to attract attention is really not that easy.

He mentioned in his live stream yesterday that he spent nine figures to buy the LPL qualification for the team.

This has once again become a trending topic.

EDG also trended on social media.

2019 was the darkest year for EDG. Their domestic dominance declined sharply, they were eliminated in the top 6 of the Summer Split, and for the first time in six years since the team was founded, they failed to qualify for the World Championship.

The previous Spring Festival tournament also ended with a top-six finish.

Although the fans were disappointed and frustrated.

But all I can say is that as long as there are points, that's enough.

The reason it trended on social media was due to a major reshuffle within the team.

Jungler Jiejie and support Meiko were substituted.

The third-generation Jiejie's performance was decent at first, but last year's Spring Split saw EDG suffer a shock defeat against SDG, which was already hard to accept. The Summer Split's shock defeat against BLG further lowered EDG's historical record, thus eliminating EDG from the World Championship.

Jiejie also became a trending topic after being criticized for "not even knowing how to run away!"

What mysterious ultimate move, the fire dragon team fight's smite healing, and the "farewell forever"? EDG fans have been hoping for EDG to make personnel adjustments to the jungle position since last year.

They indicated that if all else fails, having the coach take over is also an option.

at this time.

The inclusion of JIEJIE, whom they hoped for, in the personnel reshuffle made them very happy.

However, Meiko felt it was unnecessary.

Compared to replacing Meiko.

Why not try switching to a different champion like Treant Protector for the top lane?

It immediately became a trending topic.

Some well-known loudmouths in the esports circle have also made their own revelations.

The source revealed that Meiko was bought, while Jiejie was essentially sold or given away for free.

As for who bought it.

Someone leaked that it was PDD.

at the same time.

PDD called Lu Yiming from the airport.

With a look of utter defiance, he said, "Brother! We can only go by your second-tier standard! The All-Star team is really not that easy to manage!"

The list that Lu Yiming handed over to PDD.

There are two or three candidates for each position.

UZI and JK were the top two choices for the AD position, but one was rejected due to price and the other because the other company simply wouldn't sell, so they had to settle for a third option.

Upon hearing PDD's words...

Lu Yiming said thank you for your hard work.

In fact, Lu Yiming hadn't originally thought that the first choice on the list he provided would be successful.

CSGO teams won't be able to get back into form until at least August.

He currently needs to test the abilities of his new secondary profession.

That's why they joined the alliance.

In fact, he didn't care at all who the five players on the league team were.

But since we're going to do it anyway...

They delivered a result that satisfied their fans.

It's not right to spend over a small amount of money to buy a spot in the competition. Players can only spend a little money to buy new players, right? He doesn't want to form a team that the fans think will give away points and make a fool of himself.

at this time.

After PDD's efforts over the past ten days.

They helped him assemble a six-man team.

While some players may be criticized, they at least have the strength on paper.

leftover.

It remains to be seen whether the Warhorse, this pressure monster, can create a positive synergy for the team.

The next day.

I successfully registered for the RSS Alliance official blog.

In conjunction with the promotion of the players' original teams.

The players on Lu Yiming's team have finally been revealed.

Mid laner Abin, ADSMLZ, support Meiko, top laner Flandre, jungler Jiejie.

how to say!

This list emphasizes cost-effectiveness.

The total transfer fee was less than 50 million.

The most expensive are Meiko and SMLZ.

The transfer fees for the two players accounted for more than half of the total cost.

Jungler Jiejie was a complete feeder.

The combined value of Saint Gun and Young Ah Bin is less than 20 million.

This list was released.

Netizens were in an uproar.

[SMLZ is fine! But what's with picking JIEJIE as the jungler?! There are so many good junglers! Why choose JIEJIE?!]

[Are you an EDG fan upstairs? I think Jiejie is alright! Who hasn't been a war criminal before? Be more understanding, newbie!]

[Just asking! Wasn't Abin a top laner? Has he switched to mid lane?]

[Holy crap! CEO Lu bought SMLZ! And Meiko is still the support? SMLZ has finally found redemption!]

This team is pretty good! At least they don't have any blunderers! The Summer Split starts in June, is this enough time for them to gel?

[Is War Horse the head coach? The pressure is probably manageable, but I wonder how President Lu plans to arrange things.]

I thought President Lu was going to assemble an all-star team, but judging from this lineup, they'll only make it to the top 16 at best.

【.】

This list has been released.

Opinions online are mixed.

However, the second list received unanimous approval from netizens.

General Manager Zhan Ma, Head Coach Abu, Head Coach Hong Mi, Supervisor Zhu Kai, and BP Coach Jin Jingzhu.

Good heavens! Who dares to say that CEO Lu doesn't understand the LPL?

[This roster is unbeatable! WarHorse is in charge of applying pressure! Abu is in charge of player development and maintaining team discipline! Redmi is in charge of leading the team in the backstage draft phase! Zhu Kai is in charge of psychological counseling and giving the players motivational speeches! Kim Jung-soo is in charge of the on-stage draft phase! With this setup, I feel like the top eight are already a sure thing!]

[It's just that Mr. Lu is good at logistics! I suggest adding RW's graphic designers, LNG's physiotherapy team, EDG's video production team, and RNG's legal department!]

I feel that the management team's expenses are no less than the players' expenses. Mr. Lu is really rich!

[I heard that CEO Lu originally planned to assemble a dream team! But either the asking price was too outrageous or the seller wouldn't sell. It just goes to show that a dream team can only exist in dreams, but CEO Lu, with his god-like management team, has made it happen! Take off!]

[It felt like today's match was just for fine-tuning team synergy; we can start looking forward to seeing how RSS performs in next Spring Split.]

[What RSS?! CEO Lu said! From now on, just call me Fanxing in private!]

【.】

Compared to the list of players.

The announcement of the management team list generated more buzz.

And it is indeed as netizens have discussed.

In order to assemble these management personnel.

Lu Yiming's expenses were no less than those of the players.

Lu Yiming went live that day.

The number of viewers in the live stream exceeded one million when the broadcast started.

Watching the rapidly scrolling barrage of comments.

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "So, are you satisfied with my arrangements?"

It's more than just satisfaction.

An all-Chinese team plus an all-star management team.

Expectations are running high for RSS's performance on the field.

Although the players have many problems, these problems have been covered up by the management. The rest is to see what impact the management can have on the team during the integration period.

After all, as long as the player's personal issues don't cross the line, it's acceptable.

All of these can be salvaged through performance in the competition.

at this time.

Someone in the live chat asked how much money Lu Yiming had spent in total.

Seeing the comments, Lu Yiming laughed and said, "Not much! Just over two! But we still need to set up a venue and stuff. The contracts for the players won't be officially signed for a few more days! I estimate that, not counting the venue, my expenses will be at least three hundred thousand! The venue needs to be a big one. After all, I'm not just planning to focus on the league and CSGO. I expect RSS to become an esports powerhouse by 2022! My investment will be at least fifty thousand!"

Lu Yiming will have more and more money.

Therefore, this money must be used for something.

One of his ideas was to join a top esports organization.

Moreover, his idea also received local support.

The issue of venue location has been resolved; a six-acre plot of land in the city center has been approved for him.

It is possible to build a venue of more than 3,000 square meters.

That's enough for him.

This swift land approval led Lu Yiming to believe it was a divine intervention. At this moment...

Lu Yiming delivered a spirited speech.

The viewers in the live stream were amazed by his wealth.

Although the company was not mentioned.

But everyone knows that the fifty he mentioned refers to fifty billion.

No one questioned the truthfulness of his statement.

Based on what Lu Yiming has done so far.

We are already moving towards the goal of 5 billion.

at the same time.

Those on the list announced at noon arrived in Xingcheng one after another during Lu Yiming's live broadcast.

Zeng Yuxin was in charge of receiving them.

All Lu Yiming needs to do now is make a decision.

The remaining details will be handled by the staff below.

For example, the arrangements for these people before the venue was built.

Everyone arrived at 2 PM.

After Zeng Yuxin led the group to sign the contract, she took them to the temporary base for this year to check in.

A group of people got out of the car between two three-story luxury villas.

Zeng Yuxin pointed to the two buildings on the left and right and said, "These two villas will be your temporary base for the next year. The club headquarters is still under design and is expected to be completed by the end of the year at the earliest. The planning issues will be left to you, Manager Zhanma! Here are the keys to the houses!"

Zeng Yuxin was originally an ordinary employee in the brokerage department of Shark platform.

Since leaving Shark platform.

After joining Lu Yiming's company to form his personal live streaming team.

Her entire demeanor has undergone a significant transformation.

Upon hearing this, the warhorse took the key and nodded.

He glanced at the colleagues and contestants he would be working with.

All I can say is that he was very satisfied with Lu Yiming's arrangements.

The performance-based clause in the contract, in particular, made him eager to devise a plan to train the group right now.

His gaze fell on Kim Jung-soo and Hongmi.

Each of them was accompanied by a translator.

As for the five contestants...

SMLZ remained expressionless.

The others either looked around curiously or wore calm expressions as if imitating SMLZ.

After Zeng Yuxin finished explaining.

I showed them around the house.

He then looked at the group from the doorway and smiled, "President Lu also lives in this villa area! A welcome dinner has been arranged for you at 7 pm tonight! A car will be sent to pick you up then! The rest of the time is up to you to get to know each other!"

Zeng Yuxin is gone.

Twelve people remained.

The allocation of rooms is a matter that Warhorse is responsible for.

Zeng Yuxin did not overstep her bounds and make the decision for him.

At this moment, Zhanma watched Zeng Yuxin leave, then turned around and saw that eleven pairs of eyes were looking at him.

He immediately smiled and said, "We've all just met today! Let's go sit in the living room and chat! I hope you'll take care of me in the future!"

At this moment, the warhorse is characterized by its refined and easygoing nature.

This led several candidates who had read his resume and were worried about their future to begin to question his online reputation.

Until he pulled out a training plan as thick as a dictionary.

Even the usually composed SMLZ stared wide-eyed in disbelief upon seeing the content.

Only a few other coaches were amazed.

Abu: "Brilliant! Under this kind of high pressure, I'm not prepared to have a chance to finish in the top eight this summer!"

Redmi: "We definitely need to increase our efforts in developing the players' hero pools! This will make it easier for me to plan my draft strategy!"

Zhu Kai: "However, under such high pressure, the contestants must be under a lot of psychological burden. It seems I need to pay more attention to their mental health in the future!"

Kim Jeong-soo: "The training intensity is definitely enough! But we can't just focus on intensity alone. I'll try to contact a few more LCK teams for scrims! By the way, Coach Redmi! We need to communicate more in the future to avoid confusion in our drafting strategies!"

The coaching staff looked eager to make a big splash.

The five contestants were trembling with fear.

As for something that could make even SMLZ tremble.

The main reason is that in this training plan, his role in the team is captain!
Let someone who doesn't talk much be the team leader.

It is clear.

He was placed under close scrutiny.

7 p.m.

No. 31 Baiguoyuan Mansion

The private room is filled with various retro decorations, and the interior design gives you a strong sense of the old town's rustic charm.

Lu Yiming and Cao Siyun attended.

As the team owner.

Naturally, something needs to be expressed.

After everyone was seated.

Lu Yiming smiled and said, "I don't have high expectations for you this year! Just play to your best ability! Results are secondary! Don't feel any pressure during the competition!"

That's a very simple statement.

But that doesn't stop people from making up their own interpretations.

Although results are not required, players should perform to their own level, which means that Lu Yiming does not approve of the performance of Laku.

The most difficult part of competing is maintaining a high level of performance.

Upon hearing this, Zhanma replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu! We've already discussed it! We'll strive to reach the top four in this summer's competition!"

This summer's competition has a total of eighteen teams.

There's only a little over a month left before the competition starts.

Because Lu Yiming formed a team too late.

He missed the Spring Split.

Their points are naturally lower than other teams.

Only by reaching the semifinals in the Summer Split can a team have a chance to compete for a spot in the World Championship.

Regarding the warhorse.

None of the five contestants commented.

Their minds are currently focused on that training plan.

Regarding Warhorse's statement.

Lu Yiming had a very satisfied expression on his face.

His gaze was fixed on the contestants sitting opposite him.

The data panel in front of them then unfolded.

Secondary Profession (3): Esports Manager Level E (0/50000 Honor Points)
With the establishment of the RSS Alliance Department.

The contracts for all employees were successfully signed in the afternoon.

The third secondary profession was also successfully unlocked.

The first secondary job requires increasing the number of fans, the second requires increasing the number of subscribers, and the esports manager job requires increasing honor points.

Honor points are earned by ranking in competitions of all sizes.

The competition is divided into four categories.

International esports tournaments award up to one million points based on rankings and tournament viewership.

National-level e-sports events award up to one million points based on rankings and tournament viewership.

Intercontinental esports events award up to 500,000 points based on rankings and tournament viewership.

In major professional leagues, players can earn up to 300,000 points based on their ranking and the amount of attention they receive.

simply put.

Take league games as an example.

The S-series champion receives one million points.

The Asian Games champion earns one million points.

The Intercontinental Championship winner earns 500,000 points.

The champions of the Spring and Summer seasons will receive 300,000 points.

However, given that the requirement includes competition attention, it's uncertain whether Lu Yiming can achieve the maximum score.

But if the league's attention doesn't reach the maximum points.

Given the level of attention other esports events receive, the number of points earned would likely be shockingly low.

If the team can reach the top four in the summer season.

It might even bring him 50,000 honor points!
Thinking about what I got from the E-level welfare package a few hours ago.

Lu Yiming looked at everyone present and smiled, "Of course, it would be best to get good results! Let me give you a sneak peek! The top four will each receive one million! The runner-up will get double! The champion will get an even bigger bonus!"

Hear this.

Their pupils dilated instantly!

Keep in mind this is only the Summer Split!
Don't be fooled by the fact that Lu Yiming spent nearly 100 million yuan on the transfer fee.

However, their wages didn't increase much.

That amount of money was enough to make their eyes water and their hearts race. (End of Chapter)
