I have to say that the quality of this year's World Championship is indeed high. Whether it is the venue size, the number of spectators, the excitement of the competition and the popularity of related topics, it can be seen that. It is precisely because of this that everyone thinks that LOL and even the entire e-sports are still a booming industry and field, and more investments will be included in it in the future. However, this year's favorite to win the championship GenG Samsung Team repeatedly emphasized in an interview, "At present, the losses in the entire e-sports industry are normal, and even our club cannot escape. The e-sports industry is not as exciting as everyone imagines."
Samsung Team's head specifically mentioned the prospects of the e-sports industry in a recent interview. In response, the person in charge of Samsung Club clearly stated, "I am very optimistic about the e-sports industry. It is also the reason why we insist on working in this field for several years, but we must admit that the e-sports industry is not as profitable and relaxed as everyone imagines. In fact, most e-sports clubs are in a loss state, even if we can be called a giant in the e-sports industry, the survival situation of other small clubs is even more difficult.
Samsung Club's head added, "In fact, the income and expenditure of the e-sports industry have always been not ideal. In terms of expenditure, because it is necessary to form star players to obtain higher exposure and increase the possibility of winning the championship, it is inevitable that tens of millions of dollars will be spent. In addition, the maintenance of other staff and various equipment and bases are difficult to ignore. Therefore, it is not easy to cultivate a qualified e-sports team, and what is even more frustrating is the income. . In everyone's perception, the team's income should be very high, but in fact, the team has always been in a state of underpaying money, which is related to the profit structure. "
Samsung Club's head explained to this, "The main profit method, the main profit of the e-sports industry is to cooperate directly with other brand manufacturers and relies on sponsoring various types of advertisements to collect corresponding fees. This is the main part of the revenue of the e-sports industry, but unfortunately, many sponsors are not local companies, so the benefits of the manufacturer's investment are often not ideal. Most domestic manufacturers are not used to getting exposure by sponsoring the e-sports industry. Only some very rich companies try to contact us, such as the tobacco and alcohol industry, but this type of industry has a poor guide to e-sports culture, so it is very difficult to achieve."
The person in charge also mentioned, "Of course we can also make profits by selling peripheral products, but this type of income is relatively low. After all, we are not clubs and star players of the same level as Manchester United and Messi. Therefore, the most urgent task is to add some new profit models to the e-sports industry. In recent years, we are actively exploring ways to develop e-sports academy and other ways to increase revenue. This will not only provide new forces for the league, but also give e-sports players a relatively complete e-sports path. Whether it is intuitive income or the development of the entire e-sports industry, it has a positive impact."
League of Legends is a primitive legend that is linked to Louis Koo and Jiang Shuying , and it is a game that focuses on teamwork. This is the key reason why we love League of Legends. There are no games on the market that can compete with League of Legends. From this point of view, League of Legends should be popular for a long time. I also hope that League of Legends clubs such as Samsung will find their own business path as soon as possible. What do you think about this?
