Chapter 225: Fart, Heading to Dallas

Luo Chong handed over the youth training to 259. He was not too worried and let him do it.

He wasn't afraid of 259 trying to trick him with social connections.

In e-sports, strength speaks for itself.

No matter how worldly-wise you are or how you use backdoors, once you get on the field and do the real fighting, everything will be exposed.

A vegetable is a vegetable, and you can’t pretend to be strong.

"Help 259 to set up the youth training department and start the youth training business as soon as possible."

Luo Chong said to Li Qin.

Li Qin said: “If we want to do youth training alone, it may be a bit troublesome.

"How about cooperating with Perfect or 5E platform?"

"It will be much easier for us if they build the stage."

Luo Chong pondered for a moment. What Li Qin said was right. After all, Perfect World and 5E were two big platforms with a large player base.

"You can talk to them and see which side is willing to cooperate."

"After all, this thing is a win-win cooperation."

Li Qin nodded and said, "Okay, let's get in touch first."

Leave the specific matters to professionals.

Luo Chong didn't worry about it.

But Li Qin felt that Luo Chong allocated too much funding for youth training.

"Only two million."

"Not much."

Luo Chong said.

Li Qin sighed and said, "You are really generous."

"With two million for youth training, other clubs won't survive."

"You guys can even set up a prize pool for a professional competition."

She didn't know how to tell Luo Chong.

Whatever decision I make, it's all based on my subconscious feeling.

Two million, the damn IEM Dallas prize pool is only twenty-five US dollars, so it’s not that much when converted.

259 was also in a panic.

He was not quite sure where Luo Chong's financial resources came from.

But two million yuan was given to youth training in one go.

This is about to fly.

The total prize money for second- and third-tier tournaments isn’t that much.

……

"What the hell?"

"CXG spends two million on youth training?"

"Fuck, this is a bit too much, isn't it?"

"This is crazy. Does Luo Chong have no idea about youth training?"

"Other people's youth training is for money, but his youth training is purely for charity, right?"

Many people in the industry think that Luo Chong is idiot.

A layman meddling in the affairs of experts.

Everyone is waiting to see CXG make a fool of itself.

Luo Chong doesn’t know this for the time being.

He is working on the group for IEM Dallas.

IEM Dallas officially announced the group matchups.

CXG is in Group B, and their first round opponent is Liquid. CXG has never played against Liquid before.

Originally, they were in the same group at IEM Chengdu, but they just didn't meet.

“The situation with liquids is very delicate.”

"Brother Dianzi failed to convince Brother Kuang and the Director."

"The two of them don't really follow orders, and I heard there are some conflicts among them."

"Liquid is considering demoting Brother Pianzi."

Zhou Shen said.

Wang Jie said: "So, they are no longer a threat?"

Zhou Shen shook his head and said, "It's hard to say. After all, although Brother Kuang and the Director are in a state of being bullied, their upper limit is there."

"Maybe it will suddenly explode and give us a big blow."

Li Xiang chuckled and said, "Comparing to the upper limit, right?"

He patted his kind and good brother Senpo and said, "Can you be as high-level as my brother Senpo and brother Chong?"

Zhou Shen smiled and said, "That's true."

"But it's right to be careful. I'll study Liquid's playing style and habits more later."

259 also participated in the meeting as an assistant coach.

He always felt that things were a bit casual and everyone was too relaxed.

"Is this the confidence that comes from strength?"

259 has never seen such a relaxed state in the original team.

Facing European and American teams, they were on high alert and did not dare to relax.

CXG's attitude is as if North American liquid is just their dish, and it is the liquid that should be nervous.

"Master 9, do you have anything to add?"

Luo Chong asked.

"No, I have nothing to add."

259 waved his hands hastily and said, he wanted to say don't take it lightly, but he felt it was inappropriate and a bit self-destructive.

"That's fine. You can study some tactics with Lao Zhou and teach him everything you know."

"It's time for us to start formal training and prepare for the competition."

259 said: "Okay."

"By the way, what was G2 thinking, letting Jiao Jiao be a substitute?"

Wang Jie talked about G2.

breathe missed IEM Dallas, and was replaced by stewie2k.

This guy caused Faze to fail in his transfer to another position in the Boston Major with a sniper rifle, shattering his dream of winning the championship. Big cousin has been transferring to another position for four years.

Niko has not been transferred out yet.

Now, the two of them are actually in the same team.

Not to mention that domestic players find it incredible and too dreamy.

Even foreign players, major CS live broadcasts, and commentators found it bizarre.

"I'm really afraid that the two of them will fight."

Li Xiang laughed.

Moriha: "That's not the case. 2K is no match for Niko."

"I'm definitely no match for him. I remembered the 2K fight video, haha."

Wang Jie said with a wicked smile.

Luo Chong and others also smiled at each other.

They all watched the 2K fighting video, and that scene was a one-sided crushing.

……

CXG enters training state.

Mainly training in Sha Er.

After all, other teams may have a thorough understanding of the Sha Er tactics, but CXG is a new team, and they still need to practice props and even coordination and synchronization.

Time passes day by day.

The match day is approaching.

Luo Chong and his team are ready to set off for Dallas, USA.

But before leaving, Li Qin and 259 found him.

"What?"

"You're not kidding me?"

Luo Chong was shocked. "Damn, can it be done this way?"

He couldn't believe that there were people willing to undertake a youth training program.

You can come up with all kinds of excuses to make money.

"They can make a lot of money by setting up a youth training class."

"We just need to open up a few quota channels for them or something."

Li Qin said: "It's equivalent to buying and selling quotas."

“They ensured that CXG did not spend money, but made money.”

Luo Chong looked at 259 and said, "Old 9, did you know this before?"

"I've heard of it, but I don't know much."

"This is like an industry. They use the name of youth training to deceive parents or teenagers who want to play professionally."

259 Give a brief explanation.

Only then did Luo Chong realize that there were so many tricks behind this to make money.

Youth training, youth training.

To put it nicely, it is about finding talents and building up talent pool.

But this does not prevent some people with active minds from coming up with evil and crooked ways.

Some of them are not too big or too small, but of course they are not for CS, but for other types of games.

They set up youth training classes in the name of the club and you pay money to study. The advantage is that there is a great chance of joining their youth training team.

But how high the probability is depends on how much money you have.

"Fuck you, there's no way CN eSports will have a future."

“It’s all business.”

Luo Chong was speechless. If he didn't have a deep understanding of this industry, he really wouldn't know these things.

There are some other things that are hard to say.

Luo Chong was very unhappy.

But he didn't know how to vent. Li Qin saw that he was distracted and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

259 is also waiting for the answer.

Everyone is doing this kind of thing, and if CXG does it, it is just following the trend.

There may be criticism from the outside world, but people in the circle won’t say anything.

I'm afraid they will just raise their hands in welcome, as there is one more person in the passage.

Luo Chong shook his head and said, "No."

"No, no."

"This is completely discrediting CXG."

"I want to do serious youth training."

"I don't have much money, but I don't want this."

"Old 9, focus on youth training and don't be tempted by these evil ways."

"I trust you completely, please don't let me down."

Li Qin didn't say anything, but she had actually thought of the result.

Luo Chong is a very ideal person.

He can't stand these weird things.

Although, it is really easy to make money this way.

259 was a little surprised, but since the boss said so, he had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, I'll remember that."

"Then let's do this for now."

259 left.

Li Qin stayed.

Luo Chong shook his head and complained: "What kind of nonsense is this."

"Youth training can become a means of making money."

“No wonder they say that there aren’t many talented people being discovered through domestic youth training.”

"It was all caused by these bastards."

Li Qin smiled helplessly and said, "The environment is like this, can you expect it to change?"

"Who doesn't like money? Don't you like it?"

"You haven't seen the money-making tricks yet."

"Of course I like it, but I don't like it that much." Luo Chong said unhappily, "I know those things, and CXG will never touch them."

Why is the domestic environment so chaotic?

It's just that some people want to make some money.

Luo Chong was powerless to change and could only remain true to himself and keep himself clean.

"I'm flying to the United States tomorrow, and I'll leave the house to you."

"Please keep an eye on the youth training area."

Luo Chong said.

"Are you worried about 259?" Li Qin asked.

"I believe in his expertise, but sometimes people can't resist temptation."

Luo Chong said: "By the way, I think someone will use the name of CXG Youth Training to make money and cause trouble, so you should pay more attention to it."

"Don't let us lose money through youth training, while they make money and ruin our reputation."

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention. How confident are you this time against IEM Dallas?"

"It's good to be the champion."

……

Arrived at IEM Dallas.

Luo Chong and his friends went to the hotel to check in first.

I happened to meet faze who was also checking in.

Several big bald heads are very conspicuous.

However, ropz and King Han wore hats to cover their bald heads.

"Tsk, tsk."

“Seeing it with your own eyes is much more real than taking a photo.”

"Cousin, your hair has grown out. Don't you want to trim it?"

Luo Chong couldn't help but tease, and even touched his big bald head, saying: "Look at my bald head, how bright it is, it's even reflective."

Cousin: “…”

"I finally grew some hair, and you just want me to push it away."

"That's impossible, okay."

Senpo expressed his feelings to his good brother Yu Shen through words, and even took action to touch Yu Shen's bald head to try the feel of it.

But the Rain God was not polite at all and fended them off with a stern look, as if to say, if you dare to attack me, I will never let you go.

"Haha, rain."

"How many days have you been out?"

Senpo said with a wink.

Rain God: "Fuck."

"Ha ha!"

CXG laughed loudly, and all the members of Faze were full of resentment.

"G2, the little bees haven't arrived yet. We'll wait for them in the lobby."

"How about watching them laugh?"

Luo Chong suggested.

"I don't think so."

The eldest cousin objected immediately, thinking that Luo Chong wanted to see the joke of the three teams and fifteen bald guys.

But in the end, he agreed.

After returning to their rooms and getting acquainted with each other briefly, they sent messages and the two teams went to the lobby to wait for people.

Other teams arrived one after another.

NAVI, Oil Team, etc.

I saw CXG and faze looking at me frequently.

G2 and Little Bee finally arrived, one after the other.

But they were all wrapped up tightly, all wearing hats, with no bald heads exposed.

"Good fellow, you are cheating."

"When we first agreed, we should have included a clause that prohibits wearing a hat to cover it up."

Luo Chong said dissatisfiedly, there were originally fourteen, plus he, the bald one, made fifteen.

Now there are twelve less.

No breath, bald -1.

"Chong, don't go too far."

Doudou pressed his hat down and said viciously, "You really want us to die."

"No, I just think it's interesting."

Luo Chong burst out laughing.

Later in the evening, the four teams gathered together again to brag.

CXG is actually not very interested in 2K.

This guy made some ambiguous remarks, so he got the nickname Jiaojiao.

The two sides merely exchanged polite greetings and nothing further was discussed.

I guess 2K itself has an idea of ​​this.

"Do you want to continue gambling this time?"

Luo Chong asked with a smile: "With stakes, it's more exciting."

"You still want to gamble?"

"Fuck, do you think you can win this time?"

Doudou said unconvincedly: "How are you going to bet this time?"

The eldest cousin hurriedly shook his head and said, "No, we won't participate."

"Ah, it's so boring if Faze doesn't participate." Luo Chong shouted.

"Chong, if you have time after the game, you can visit the Faze headquarters."

The eldest cousin changed the subject and made an invitation.

Faze's headquarters is in the United States, but it competes in Europe and obtains a place in the European region.

"Sure, it's a good opportunity to study."

Luo Chong's eyes lit up. Faze was not a single type of club. It was a comprehensive club that had professional teams in other gaming fields.

The most important thing is that Faze Club is a listed company.

The fact that Faze was able to take a gaming club public shows how powerful it is.

Luo Chong wondered if CXG might also be able to go public.
Everyone was chatting and telling jokes.

The bet was no longer mentioned.

Just once will do, the main reason is that there are too many injured people.

The game time is getting closer.

All the major teams are also making preparations before the game.

As the winner of three consecutive championships, CXG has received a lot of popularity and attention.

You have to record videos before the game, and accept individual interviews, etc.

5 month 28 day.

It’s morning local time, 1:30 am domestic time.

The first two rounds of IEM Dallas have officially begun.

The time of this event is absolutely hellish for domestic players.

It can last from early morning till the next day.

There aren't many players who can stay up late to finish watching it.

I woke up and found that the game was still going on.

This not only tests the players, but also the CS anchors.

Players still have a choice, they can go to sleep, but the anchor can only stay up late.
