Chapter 248 Talented Youth Selection Program
There is now another IEM Dallas championship medal on the CXG club’s honor display stand.

Currently, there are four trophies on the honor display stand.

Except for the Copenhagen Major, the other three are championship honors won by CXG Club after its establishment.

"It's not easy."

"Brother Chong, who would have thought that the five of us C+ guys would have come this far."

"Look at this trophy. I never dared to think about it before."

Wang Jie's eyes fell on the Copenhagen Major trophy, and his tone was old-fashioned. He changed the subject again and became sentimental, saying: "Time flies, five months have passed just like that."

"The brothers who formed the team at the beginning left the team, and those who changed the command changed the command."

Zhou Shen coughed twice, "Old Wang, be more confident. I am the one who said that. Why is the transfer of command so subtle?"

Wang Jie rolled his eyes at him and said unhappily, "Isn't the transfer of command clear enough? Among the six of us, you are the only one who is taking charge."

"You must ask me to be less tactful. You feel too comfortable, don't you?"

"You're a masochist, aren't you?"

Zhou Shen: "..."

"Brother Chong, we should adjust Lao Wang's tactical position later."

This is what it means to take personal revenge.

Still in person.

Wang Jielian suddenly became unhappy. Zhou Shen actually had a suggestion to adjust the tactical position. Of course, whether to adopt it or not depends on Luo Chong.

Luo Chong had no reason to bother with these two people, and ordered: "Everyone go and rest first, adjust to the time difference, and get a good sleep. We will have a meeting tomorrow afternoon and a celebration banquet in the evening."

"Row."

"Okay Brother Chong."

"Then let's go down first."

After they left.

Luo Chong has to face Li Qin's cold treatment alone.

"Well, I know I was wrong." Luo Chong expressed his mistake humbly and sincerely.

"Haha, how could you be wrong?"

"You are quite right."

Li Qin sneered and said, "At the IEM Dallas venue, in front of thousands of spectators, he was so arrogant and domineering. What a great image."

"You continue to be crazy and continue to provoke."

"Don't be a coward, why are you back?"

Luo Chongxin said, weren't you the one who shouted at them to get back as soon as possible?

He certainly wouldn't dare to say this, and he couldn't say it.

"If your parents hadn't kept calling me, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you."

"It would be good if you were CS'd by a real person."

Li Qin snorted.

Luo Chong whispered: "If I die, won't you be a widow?"

"Luo Chong, you are such a jerk..."

"Stinky Shabi!"

Seeing that Li Qin was about to explode, Luo Chong said hurriedly, "That's right, that's right."

"That's right, I'm going to deal with you today."

……

Luo Chong is really annoying.

He wanted to sleep until he woke up naturally, but he was woken up anyway.

"I'm the boss, I can sleep however I want."

"do not wake me up."

Luo Chong said this but still got up and washed.

Li Qin is roughly responsible for the club's affairs, but that's just roughly. Luo Chong still needs to step in for some areas.

For example, the e-sports business.

There is also the sponsorship aspect.

And so on.

That's how it is in the club. Players get paid and then rest after playing games. But it's different for Luo Chong. He has to consider and bear more.

At the age of eighteen, he shouldn't have to endure too much.

"Brother Chong."

259 shouted as soon as he came in.

Luo Chong said hurriedly: "No, you are my grandfather."

"9th Master."

259 looked embarrassed and said, "Brother Chong, stop joking with me. Jiu Ye, that's just a joke from the players."

Luo Chong didn't say much. He just finished dealing with other things and asked, "Master Jiu, I heard that you have some ideas about youth training?"

"By the way, you did a good job in youth training."

At present, CXG’s youth training foundation has been established.

Not to mention, Lao Jiu has quite a few connections among professional players and former professional players in the CNCS circle.

He contacted some people, and after interviews, they successfully joined the youth training department.

E-sports still needs people in the industry. Those who switch from professional to logistics, youth training, etc. are actually professional counterparts.

If you let a layman guide the youth training of experts, everything else may be fine, but the perspectives of understanding the game may be different.

Luo Chong didn’t know the level of the expert that Lao Jiu had found, but at least he expected that he was quite good.

"Take a look at this first."

That’s right, Lao Jiu came prepared and Luo Chong did not dodge.

"You tell me, I'll watch."

Luo Chong watched and listened to Lao Jiu's explanation.

"We are going to hold a talent selection."

"The maximum age is 14 and the minimum is ."

"rule……."

"The schedule..."

"As for the prize money, the first place is 10,000, the second place..."

Luo Chong took a quick look at it and thought the idea was good, "but a little conservative."

"what?"

Lao Jiu was stunned, "Is this plan a bit too troublesome?"

Generally speaking, when looking for talented young people or youth training players, we look at the platform's ladder ranking list and select amateurs to send invitation letters.

If you conduct this kind of talent selection formally, you may succeed, but you may also fail to help other teams.

It seems like a thankless task.

And it's a waste of money and energy.

Originally, the youth training department had advised Lao Jiu not to submit this plan.

But Laojiu remembered that Luo Chong had told him that if he had any ideas, he could just raise them and he would fully support Laojiu in youth training.

He just ignored the reminders of his friends and colleagues, put forward the idea, and submitted the plan today.

did not expect…….

"No trouble."

“I just feel a little miserable.”

"What about a bonus of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan?"

Luo Chong said generously: "Just take one million and do it."

"what?"

Lao Jiu was dumbfounded again, "Brother Chong, you are not serious, are you?"

One million, this will raise the domestic bonus level by countless levels.

"besides."

“The top ten players will have the opportunity to challenge any player from CXG.”

Luo Chong said: "As long as they can win, and the home team happens to be short of substitutes, let them fill in."

"Brother Chong, if we win every game, there won't be so many spots for substitutes," said Lao Jiu.

"This requires you to formulate detailed rules." Luo Chong said with a smile: "There are other teams, SOLO and so on."

"We've had time for the last two months."

"I can cooperate with your youth training work at any time."

As the first half of the season comes to an end, there is only one BLAST Spring Festival final left in the CS competition.

CXG has no chance to participate because they have already secured their place in the finals, and even the world's number one team cannot cut in line.

therefore.

For CXG, they played one less BLAST event compared to other international teams, and then there was no competition until mid-July, just before the Saudi Esports World Cup.

They entered the offseason early.

Teams such as G2, Faze, Little Bee, NAVI, Green Dragon, etc. will also enter a one-month offseason after playing in the BLAST Spring Festival finals.

Therefore, CXG had nearly two months of free time.

"One million." "You can take it if you want."

“It’s really rich.”

After Li Qin learned about this, it was not known whether she was being sarcastic or teasing, but her tone gave Luo Chong goosebumps.

"You think I'm stupid."

Luo Chong rolled his eyes and said, "Look at the talented young man selected by so-and-so. He is going to be sent to Europe for further studies."

“Did they lose money?”

"Not only did I not lose money, but I also gained enough popularity. I have both money and fame."

5E cooperated with a boss and organized a selection of talented teenagers, which became extremely popular.

CXG has won numerous championships in international competitions, which has greatly stimulated the enthusiasm and confidence of domestic players.

It also helped many people find themselves again, and many young people joined the CS family.

So much so that the popularity of 5E’s talent selection has become the second hottest topic in the circle.

The first one is of course CXG.

Luo Chong could not deny that the boss did bring a good cycle to CNCS.

But what the outside world says about losing money in selecting teenagers is absolutely nonsense.

Under the premise that traffic is king, how can we lose money with such a huge wave of traffic?
Anyone who is not a fool can see how huge the business opportunities and benefits behind this are.

Not to mention other things, the reputation alone is worth the money.

Just look at the reviews online and you'll know how worthwhile it is.

As someone in the industry, Luo Chong more or less learned the inside story from other colleagues.

Platforms like 5E have capital behind them and they will never do business at a loss.

"Then what do you want to do?"

Li Qin asked.

Luo Chong spread his hands and said, "How simple it is."

"Pull up 5E, perfect, then pull up the fighting fish."

“They either collaborate or sponsor.”

"If we get a few more advertisers, we'll have everything."

"What do we need to do?"

"I'll start another live broadcast and spend one million. Maybe I can get hundreds of millions back."

Li Qin looked suspicious, "Do you really have a business mind?"

"You are offending me!" Luo Chong looked serious, frowning and looking very dissatisfied.

"Haha."

Li Qin smiled and said, "Luo Chong, I didn't expect that, wow, wow, wow, you are actually a business genius."

"You have figured out the logic behind this."

"sure."

Luo Chong waved his hand and said, "It's nothing."

"What if 5E and Perfect don't cooperate?" Li Qin asked.

"Uncooperative?"

Luo Chong sneered: "Then send him to death."

"Tell Douyu that if they don't give us the sponsorship fee, we will go find Huya."

"I'm sure they would be happy to do so."

The contract signed between CXG and Douyu was a live broadcast contract, which did not involve anything else. However, there was a clause that Douyu had the right to cooperate first regarding CXG's commercial activities related to live broadcast.

In other words, Luo Chong wants to say hello to Douyu first and take you to play together. Do you want to come? If not, I will go to Huya.

This way it does not violate the contract.

Of course, Luo Chong prefers to cooperate with Douyu so that they don’t have to worry about the issue of live broadcasts.

"Also contact Hongxing Erke and the others."

"Going the young route, this talented youngster selection is a good opportunity."

"I'll see if I can increase the prize money for the tournament."

Luo Chong said bluntly: "I don't like to eat alone, and I don't like too much money."

"If there is more sponsorship, I will give more prize money and make the event bigger."

"It's another matter if the bonus is small."

"You can do as much as you can anyway."

Luo Chong is not a bad person, he just thinks that if you don't have money, you are a bastard.

Anyway, he is financially independent now and has good intentions. At the age of eighteen, he is still simple and innocent, and he does things according to his most primitive nature.

After the meeting that afternoon, CXG officially entered the off-season.

Except for necessary activities and arrangements, which will be notified in advance, the rest of the time, the contestants can do whatever they want.

That night.

Luo Chong also conducted a live broadcast and announced the time of Li Xiang's live broadcast.

Douyu also announced the premiere event of CXG Prince early on.

"Chongshen, you have won four consecutive championships, and the Intel Grand Slam Achievement Tournament, and you have also won three consecutive championships. You are only one Cato and Cologne-level tournament away."

Luo Chong saw the comments and laughed, "I'm definitely aiming for the Grand Slam achievement."

"When? I don't know, but we have a great chance now."

There were many other topics in the barrage, and Luo Chong selectively selected them to answer.

He is addicted to the Internet.

Live broadcast from 8pm to 4am.

But he was a bit distracted and didn't play CS much. Instead, he played League of Legends in a five-person team with his friends.

……

Li Xiang’s live broadcast arrived as scheduled.

With the title of Prince of CXG, Li Xiang's popularity ranks third in CXG, below Luo Chong and Sen Po, and above Wang Jie.

During the first generation of CXG, Li Xiang only appeared once, but he left an indelible impression on the audience, and thus ranked second in popularity within the team.

He overwhelmed Wang Jie and Zhao Liang who were in the team at that time.

At one point he even showed signs of approaching Luo Chong.

I don’t know why, but the audience just likes this kind of prince’s counterattack drama.

Whether in-game or out-of-game.

Li Xiang's live broadcast was an explosion of his past accumulated popularity.

There is also the support of Luo Chong and others.

The live broadcast instantly reached its peak and became number one on the entire platform.

Gifts and titles are flying everywhere.

It was the first time that Li Xiang saw so much money floating around. He kept thinking, "Am I so popular?"

Luo Chong had told him before, "The popularity of foreign princes is high, and the popularity of our CN prince is not necessarily low."

It seems to be true.

Li Xiang was still a little overwhelmed and flustered during the live broadcast.

But fortunately, I gradually adapted over time and became able to cope with it.

After playing games, Li Xiang has entered a field that he is relatively proficient in.

It’s just that this guy, when he plays games, doesn’t care much about the audience. He may say he’s having fun by himself, but actually he’s a bit socially anxious.

"This kid usually talks so much nonsense, why is he like a sullen smoke now?"

Wang Jie said doubtfully.

"Who knows." Luo Chong shook his head slightly, "Maybe he's not used to it yet."

"After all, no one has the talent for live streaming like me."

Wang Jie: “…”

Is it really okay for you to brag about yourself?

After Li Xiang's debut performance, he collapsed completely.

“Now you know it’s not easy to live stream, right?”

"Brother Chong, I didn't screw up, did I?"

"No, go down and make a good summary, do more live broadcasts, and relax. As long as you don't talk nonsense, you'll be fine."

"Okay."

……

"Boss Luo, not too much."

Douyu management smiled bitterly and said, "Three million, the maximum sponsorship is three million."

“This is the limit.”

"We are also responsible for streaming on all platforms, a series of activities, and so on."

“Almost all the live broadcasts were sold out.”

Luo Chong still looked like he was sending away a beggar.

He has seen a lot of big money, and three million seems like begging to him.
