CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 277 President Lu's Experiment (Happy Lantern Festival!)
S10 is about to begin.

The topic's popularity peaked in mid-September.

After all, the competition starts on the 25th.

Moreover, the competition was held right in their hometown.

LPL after IG won the S8 championship.

They won two championships in a row.

However, compared to IG's championship win, last year's victory did not cause a great sensation.

In fact.

The popularity of LPL is not as high as it used to be.

The decline in popularity was already evident as early as Season 8.

Especially in June of this year.

God has retired.

Black pieces, white pieces, and a string of pieces have nowhere to go.

This resulted in the summer season's popularity being almost halved compared to the spring season.

This is very scary.

However, the league has also taken notice of the RSS team.

First of all.

RSS is an all-Chinese team.

Secondly, Lu Yiming is the owner of RSS.

Although his individual popularity cannot be compared with that of the entire LPL.

But his biggest advantage is that he is rich enough.

therefore.

After the league discovered that the popularity of the games was not as high as before.

Their attention turned to RSS.

The goal is to solidify the popularity of the event by supporting RSS to reach a wider audience.

To put it simply...

It's about creating gods.

As for whether creating a god-like figure will cause him to become arrogant or cause him to neglect his training due to participating in too many activities.

That's beyond the league's jurisdiction.

He only cares about the results.

Regardless of the process or the result.

However, their plan ran into obstacles right from the start.

First, I wanted to invite Lu Yiming to be a guest at the playoff finals.

Lu Yiming rejected this offer.

After all, that was during his wife's pregnancy period.

Lu Yiming naturally wouldn't attend the event in Shanghai.

Even if the alliance suggests that participation can be done online.

Lu Yiming also considered that his wife's childbirth was unexpected.

So I didn't agree.

The subsequent alliance will allocate the champion's resources to the runner-up RSS.

But the coaching staff rejected it.

After all, there were still quite a few problems within the team at that time, and they only managed to get the runner-up position, so the whole team was holding their breath in frustration.

Say something.

These repeated setbacks left the league leaders somewhat bewildered by the RSS team.

These resources represent exposure and revenue.

Normally, no team would refuse.

at this time.

When Lu Yiming announced in his live stream the reward he would give if his team won the Summer Split championship.

These doubts all became clear in an instant.

At the same time, viewers who are interested in the competition.

This also explains why RSS cares so much about winning or losing the competition.

After all, they're playing in RSS.

Their income is much more substantial than that of other teams.

Lu Yiming finished his live stream that day.

The RSS Alliance has signed a live streaming contract with the Shark platform.

Generally during non-training periods.

The contestants will stream for several hours each time.

They started broadcasting that day.

The streamers were ADSMLZ and support player meiko.

Meiko saw the discussion in the comments section.

He immediately feigned surprise and said, "Ah! You all know that?! What idiot said that?! We have a clear rule against saying it! Saying it will result in a fine! Quick! Quick! Tell me who said it! I'm going to report him to the coach!"

Meiko looked like she was ready to sacrifice her own family for the greater good.

This commotion prompted SMLZ to secretly turn on the live chat.

In fact.

Currently, SMLZ rarely turns on the chat to avoid affecting his mindset.

SMLZ immediately turned off the bullet comments the moment he turned them on.

Then he looked at Meiko with a pitying expression.

Simultaneously.

Meiko saw the comments section filled with people talking about "President Lu".

His expression immediately changed.

Then, with a sheepish expression, he said, "Ah~ it's President Lu! Then it's alright!"

After he finished speaking, he cautiously glanced behind him.

After confirming that there was no one else in the training room.

Looking at the camera, he put his hands together and said, "What I just said was nonsense! We can't say it! But President Lu can say whatever he wants!"

Looking at Meiko, whose survival instinct is at its peak.

Even SMLZ next to him couldn't help but smile.

Not to mention the people entertaining themselves in the live stream.

I watched the comments section where people were clamoring to report the incident.

Meiko felt like dying.

Let's put it this way~
He gained respect at RSS that he couldn't get in other teams.

Moreover, RSS doesn't involve as much social niceties.

The goals are also very unified.

Get good grades!
Make money!

In fact, it is widely rumored that Lu Yiming is the king of charity.

However, this does not prevent some people from speculating maliciously about Lu Yiming's motives.

Some say he did it for popularity.

Some say he did it to make more money.

But Meiko believes...

Lu Yiming genuinely wanted to do charity work.

For nothing else.

Just looking at the division of income.

In fact, they received a signing bonus when they signed RSS. Once they received that money, the club's operating and commercial revenue became very little and no longer related to them.

Add to RSS feed.

Apart from the transfer fee that RSS needs to pay to their former club.

We also need to discuss income issues with them.

Generally, there are two types: signing bonus and business contract.

The signing fee is essentially a buyout.

The business contract is a guaranteed minimum cooperation agreement.

The two are a matter of the magnitude of the risk.

The latter may earn more money, but the risks are also greater, and the contract will specify the conditions that need to be met to receive the full salary.

For example, ten million a year.

The goal is to win the Summer Split championship; if that doesn't happen, the only guaranteed income will be the minimum.

But the signing bonus is different.

For example, ten million a year.

The monthly payout is one-twelfth of the ten million, but the team can unilaterally terminate the contract in case of breach of contract.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages.

Normally, this is a contract that includes a signing bonus.

The team will have very frequent business activities.

After all, the money comes from the sheep.

The money they received.

The club needs to recoup its losses through commercial activities.

But RSS is different.

Business activities are extremely rare.

It's so pitiful that he doesn't even know how the club will break even.

Since joining RSS.

He didn't participate in a single event.

There were only a few print ads.

At first, he thought it was because the team lacked popularity and President Lu looked down on some small activities. But the team won the runner-up title and had a decent online presence, yet they didn't participate in any business activities. This was something he couldn't understand.

Until it was revealed within the industry.

RSS has rejected several large-scale events.

They even refused the massive data package that the league had prepared specifically for them.

That's when he understood.

Lu Yiming was genuinely aiming for the team to achieve good results.

They even went so far as to promise extra rewards far exceeding those in the industry average.

at this time.

Meiko's heartfelt praise (RSS).

He was trying to salvage what he had said wrong.

This made the viewers in the live stream realize that this was the situation within the RSS team. What Meiko didn't notice was...

General Manager Zhan Ma was standing behind him, holding a bottle of Zhan Ma (a type of liquor).

He was so engrossed in describing his own team's situation that he became overly enthusiastic.

Meiko didn't notice.

However, SMLZ saw it and prepared to issue a warning.

The warhorse is depicted with its left index finger near its mouth.

soon.

Meiko revealed almost everything she knew.

At this moment, Zhanma reached out and pressed his shoulder, saying, "I heard you just cursed President Lu for... you know?"

These words sent a shiver down Meiko's spine.

Let's put it this way~
The warhorses in the team are the kind that can stop neighing.

The team faces immense pressure, with the warhorse bearing 80% of it.

At this moment, Meiko turned her head to look at the warhorse.

During that time, he made eye contact with SMLZ.

Micro-expressions in a fleeting moment.

It has gone through a series of complex changes, such as "Why didn't you remind me?", "From now on, we are no longer friends!", and "Brother, save me!"

Until he made eye contact with the warhorse.

Meiko, with a cheeky grin, said, "Good evening, Coach Warhorse~ Drinking Warhorse wine~"

God the hell is drinking warhorses!

The viewers in the live stream were overjoyed.

Warhorse is an advertisement that RSS took on after winning the championship.

In fact, this is also one of the resources provided by the alliance to RSS.

The only one that accepts RSS.

After all, all that's needed is to shoot print ads.

This money is too good to pass up.

At this moment, the can in Warhorse's hand has Meiko's image printed on it.

The warhorse drank it all in one gulp, then tossed it into the trash can next to Meiko, and said, "Come to my office!"

Done.

The warhorse turned and walked away.

Meiko, on the other hand, looked like a wilted eggplant.

He got up dejectedly and followed behind the warhorse.

Warhorse wasn't blaming him for scolding Lu Yiming; even if he didn't know the details, he knew it was mostly true. It was just that Meiko had said a bit too much afterward.

Public figures often make the mistake of saying too much.

If we don't give a warning...

He's been the club's general manager for nothing.

Meiko's live stream was still running at that time.

His fans could only see a lonely seat.

But SMLZ then turned the camera on himself.

He then said indifferently, "One hour at most! Let's start the game and wait for him!"

have to say.

That's really heartwarming.

But what SMLZ did next had absolutely nothing to do with being heartwarming.

Early September.

Teamfight Tactics has been updated to Season 4.

SLMZ started a ranked game in Season 4 and invited Meiko's account to join him.

However, when playing, I focus on operating my own account.

More than forty minutes later.

Meiko returned with a relieved expression.

SMLZ's screen showed him in first place.

He immediately laughed and said, "Wow! You got a chicken dinner! Oh! You even went up to Platinum! Buy me a drink later!"

In this regard.

SMLZ nodded slightly.

at this time.

Meiko's chat was flooded with messages urging her to check her match history.

In this regard.

Meiko, who had just sat down, looked puzzled.

Check battle records?
Why do we need to check match records?

He then turned to look at SMLZ's screen.

He felt very familiar with the eighth ID on the settlement screen.

After squinting to see clearly.

He immediately exclaimed, "Holy crap! You used me to boost your score? You beast!!!"

The scene then shifts to a fish bar.

Meiko's revelation sparked discussion among players.

In fact.

When IG won the championship.

Someone mentioned it before.

Is it possible that the core reason for IG's victory was the team atmosphere, rather than solely the players themselves?

In fact.

In my current subjective understanding.

Whether a team can win a game depends mainly on the players.

But in fact, it has been proven.

Even if you assemble a super team, it doesn't necessarily mean you'll win the championship.

Winning a game and winning a championship are two different things.

The next day.

Lu Yiming will start his broadcast this afternoon.

He laughed when asked this question, saying, "What are you thinking! The players and the management complement each other! There's no such thing as one being more important than the other!"

This topic started last night.

The discussion was extensive until noon today.

Lu Yiming's answer did not satisfy the viewers.

No! Actually, the team atmosphere is the most crucial factor! It can significantly impact a player's performance! Therefore, I believe the team atmosphere is even more important than the player themselves!

[Yeah! Meiko said it yesterday too! In RSS, you don't need to think too much, just focus on how to win the game. This means that Meiko's previous team had serious internal problems!]

[Upstairs! I completely agree with your point! After winning the championship, IG changed their club management strategy. To put it bluntly, making money became more important than achieving results! Instead of purely pursuing success!]

[I completely disagree! They're obviously playing to make money! Who would do something that doesn't pay? Frankly, it's because CEO Lu has plenty of money! That's why the team has this kind of atmosphere! But they still didn't win the Summer Split championship, right? It's still because the players aren't good enough!]

【.】

Lu Yiming's live broadcast room became a debate arena for both sides.

In fact, they had already had a heated discussion on Weibo and other platforms before.

Watching the comments section, it was clear that both sides were trying to convince each other.

Lu Yiming said, "How about this? Let's conduct an experiment! Wait! Let me think about it!"

This statement attracted the attention of both sides in the argument.

Everyone eagerly awaited the next chapter featuring Lu Yiming.

At this moment, Lu Yiming was mentally preparing his speech.

After making the viewers in the live stream wait a few minutes, he finally said, "First of all! What do you think is the probability that RSS can win the S-series championship?"

RSS finished as runners-up in the playoffs.

However, there were indeed quite a few problems during the competition.

It could be said that the integration process wasn't working out properly.

You could also say their skills weren't up to par.

Faced with Lu Yiming's question.

They were all fans of Lu Yiming.

They gave a 50/50 answer.

Lu Yiming laughed and said, "It's 50/50, right? You guys are really bold to say that! In fact, Warhorse submitted a report to me yesterday, saying that the team's chances of winning the championship are probably only about 10%, and the probability of making it into the top 16 is over 80%, and that's assuming they have an advantage in the group draw!"

After the Summer Split ended.

The lottery environment has already been established.

RSS was fortunate to be assigned to a relatively balanced group.

At least the chances of qualifying are generally considered high.

Regarding the assessment report that Lu Yiming mentioned.

Some viewers still agree with the data presented here.

The round of 16 is a sure thing.

Winning the championship is really a long shot.

This is also the most fair assessment of RSS.

I saw the approval from many people in the comments section.

At this moment, Lu Yiming continued, "Then the probability of winning the championship is very low right now. Let me try to see if I can improve the probability of winning the championship by improving the team's atmosphere!"

The words fell.

Lu Yiming took off his headphones.

I picked up my phone and dialed a number.

Warhorse answered the phone.

At this moment, Lu Yiming slowly said, "I've already decided on the rewards for winning the S-series championship. Go and spread the word! In accordance with the season's distribution method, I will allocate 100 million as an additional bonus!"

The RSS Alliance Department has 31 members.

The team consists of five contestants, ten management personnel, and twenty service personnel.

The summer tournament's distribution system is based on players receiving 100, management receiving 50, and service staff receiving 20.

This means that each contestant can take away more than seven million of the one hundred million.

The average management team member earns over 3.5 million!
The service level also has an average of over 1.4 million per person!
Keep in mind that this was an extra bonus given by Lu Yiming!

That's practically astronomical!
Not only were the viewers in the live stream stunned by Lu Yiming's words.

The warhorse that answered the phone also had an incredulous expression on its face.

Then, with a tone full of surprise, he said, "Okay! Pass it on immediately! Mr. Lu is awesome!!"
