Chapter 81: Last Stop of the Inspection

ㅤ
It was the middle of March. In the first two weeks of the regular season, Jiang Shaoyu inspected eight clubs in a row, half of which played the tricks of marketing and star making. They didn’t pay attention to the game at all. The other half were training seriously.

TNG and RED were clubs that did the star making mode and they had a lot of money for advertising, publicity and setting up players’ personalities. The entire Gun King e-sports circle was affected by them. Fans started to praise the ‘highly popular players’ and the clubs made a lot of money selling merchandise. This intensified it and after several years, it gradually brought down the atmosphere of the e-sports circle.

Fortunately, there were still many clubs in the circle who stuck to their original intention and played the game seriously. They weren’t completely rotten.

There were a total of 10 teams in the A-grade Pro League and Jiang Shaoyu had inspected eight so far. Only the last two remained. Both teams were playing on the weekend so Jiang Shaoyu stayed at the national team’s base for a few days to rest. He intended to go back next week.

For the remaining clubs, one was the BM Club, Vice-chairman Qi’s old club. The current captain, Liu Shaozhou, was the apprentice taught by Vice-chairman Qi himself. The other was the COC team, which was at the bottom of the 1st division and hovered on the verge of elimination every year.

Jiang Shaoyu took a look at the information of the COC team.This team didn’t have any particularly outstanding players and their performance was mediocre in all aspects. They were at the bottom of the A-grade League for three consecutive zones and were pushed to the pending zone to compete with the first place team of the secondary league for a place in the A-grade League.

The strange thing was that for three consecutive years, they resisted the pressure of the promotion and relegation competition and successfully retained their spot in the A-grade League. It wasn’t easy for them to struggle to survive on the edge of elimination.

Jiang Shaoyu left for COC on Tuesday.

The team was basically small and poor. There was only one training room with two rows of computers and players trained very seriously.

There were many talented and strong players in the e-sports world, but there were also many mediocre players with average talent who stayed in the game out of love.

They might not be famous and their annual salaries weren’t high enough. After retiring, they would enter a state of ‘there was no such person. However, the mediocre players stuck to their dreams and played for a few years. Even if they couldn’t win a trophy, they didn’t regret it… at least they tried hard!

Jiang Shaoyu saw the tenacious and fearless qualities in these young people.

In addition to the A-grade League, there were hundreds of players in the B-grade League and they were also sticking to it out of love.

On the other hand, in the clubs with deep pockets, star players only knew how to make money. They weren’t worthy of the words ‘professional players’ when compared to these small, transparent players who had a small salary but trained seriously.

They came out of COC and Qi Heng joked, “You didn’t steal anyone this time… ah no, there were no spoils?”

Jiang Shaoyu said, “This team is at the bottom of the A-grade League. The players are mediocre and their strength isn’t enough to enter the national team. We don’t necessarily have to choose from the A-grade Pro League when choosing people. The secondary league might also have excellent seedlings.”
