Chapter 708 Boycott of the E-sports Club

Friday, October 28.

dge club meeting room.

Managers from various clubs gathered together and chatted while drinking tea.

These clubs have been moving to Beijing for a while. After the Gog Global Invitational Tournament, the days of each club can be said to be leisurely and boring.

Although the clubs are still playing training matches as usual, without formal competitions, the effectiveness of the training match will definitely be greatly reduced.

However, the muscles of the players have been growing steadily.

The version of gog is not updated quickly, so each team does not need to be too anxious to adapt to the new version. Everyone is waiting for the official plan of gog to launch the next stage.

Various clubs have speculated that the official gog official is about to launch a league model.

This is not difficult to guess. Although the e-sports industry still has many shortcomings in this regard, there are many rules for some popular sports events to refer to, just copy them directly.

Moreover, it is easy to form a domestic league. The venues of the World Invitational Tournament can be used directly as the league venue. All clubs are gathered in Jingzhou. Once the schedule is arranged, the game can be started immediately.

No matter how you look at this, it seems that President Pei prepared in advance, and none of the other competition areas have such unique conditions.

And this time, Zhang Yuan invited everyone here, probably for the sake of the league.

This is why the managers of various clubs have a vague meaning that only Zhang Yuan is the leader, because everyone knows that Mr. Zhang is not only the manager of the DGE club, but also the one who can talk directly to Mr. Pei. If he really wants to start the GoG League in the future, Mr. Zhang will definitely be one of the managers.

So, after Zhang Yuan notified the clubs today, the managers of these clubs came immediately.

After coming, I found that Mr. Pei was also present, sitting quietly beside him without saying a word.

This made everyone more sure what they were going to say today is extraordinary.

Zhang Yuan distributed the new regulations in his hand to various clubs in turn, and then directly made clear all the requests made by President Pei.

"Next, we will start planning the domestic league of GoG, that is, GPL. Everyone present has contributed to the development of GoG's professional circle. They are important participants in the first global invitational tournament and have the strongest teams in China at present. Therefore, everyone has the qualifications to join GPL first."

"but……"

"If you want to join, you also need to accept some official supervision and terms."

"Tengda is already planning to establish an e-sports business department to coordinate the healthy development of gog games and the entire e-sports circle. There are several requirements, and I hope everyone can cooperate."

The club managers looked at the new regulations distributed by Zhang Yuan.

Manager Su of h4 Club looked at the page of paper, frowned slightly, and the more he looked, the ugly his face became.

The content written on this is quite general and has not been refined to very detailed terms, but each article is somewhat bad:

Tengda established an e-sports business department to uniformly manage the systems of GoG League and World Championship;

The e-sports business department provides a unified standard contract for clubs and players, with only agreed time, liquidated damages, transfer fees, salary and other basic contents. It is strictly forbidden to have Yin-Yang contracts and various other additional terms;

During the transfer period, the club and the players can have free contact, but cannot sign a contract privately. The e-sports department must organize the club to conduct secret shots of the players, and both parties must abide by their promises;

When a dispute occurs, you must first seek mediation from Tengda official, that is, the e-sports business department.

If the above terms are not complied with, the Tengda Esports Division may recover the entry qualification of the GPL League at any time. The club that has been revoked can transfer the GoG branch to a third party, or transfer it to Tengda, and the Esports Division will then find a suitable third party to take over.

Manager Su subconsciously looked at the others, and all saw surprise in each other's eyes.

In the eyes of these clubs, this requirement is a bit too much!

Although Mr. Zhang was the only one who followed the lead before, the premise was that Mr. Zhang should not infringe on our interests!

Since the emergence of the e-sports industry in China, to the present, the relationship between most game manufacturers and clubs is always in a state of mind.

Most game manufacturers do not have the ability or the leisure to manage and require clubs. Many game manufacturers even need to count on major clubs to support them when conducting competitions, so they turn a blind eye to the private behavior of these clubs.

In order to protect their own interests, major clubs will do some tricks.

This is actually a historical issue. Currently, the e-sports clubs are basically established by a group of rich people. Most of them are behind one or two rich second generations. The management in all aspects is very irregular. Of course, in their opinion, there is no need to be too formal.

Anyway, it's just a ticket, so why do you spend so much effort?

Many clubs are afraid of being poached by other clubs and have split up the entire team, so they have to sign some harsh terms similar to "selling contract" with new players.

In other words, whether you have been cheated by players or other clubs in the past, you have become scheming and then pass on this risk to more new players in order to avoid losing money.

The club feels that this is protecting its legitimate rights and interests.

Now, Mr. Pei’s request is obviously “infringing on their legitimate rights and interests” because the set of rules they had set before was completely invalidated.

Manager Su pursed his lips, but after thinking about it, he remained silent.

He knew that most of the clubs present would have an objection to these terms, and there was no need to be the first to speak up.

A brief silence fell into the conference room.

Manager Li of the sug club couldn't hold back at first, cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Zhang, there are some terms here, which doesn't seem to be very appropriate, right?"

"Tengda set up an e-sports business department to manage e-sports competitions, which is of course a good thing, and we all support it with both hands."

"But... is this necessary for standard contracts? When each club negotiates with players, the conditions given are different. How can standard contracts cover all possible situations?"

"I think the transfer is enough to let the club and the players contact themselves and sign the contract. To put it bluntly, this is a legal issue. It is a little waste for the official to devote his energy to this aspect."

"Also, this e-sports industry is maintained by all clubs. We should seek common ground while reserving differences. Tenda has Tenda's rules, and our club also has our service habits. Isn't it good for everyone to respect each other?"

"Everyone here is a show of the show for Tengda. Isn't it a bit humane to kick just by saying that it's a bit humane?"

"So, I think this regulation can be considered again, and what do you think?"

After Manager Li finished speaking, he looked at other club managers.

"Yes, what Manager Li said makes sense!"

"Yes, Mr. Zhang, this is a bit of a big deal, there is no need. Besides, there will definitely be many other problems in signing a standard contract, which will be more troublesome to solve at that time. What's more, there is no such precedent in the domestic e-sports circle?"

"Mr. Zhang, everyone supports Mr. Pei, so they are both buyers and move their branches to Jingzhou. They just kick us out because they don't accept these terms. Who dares to cooperate with Tengda in the future?"

"Yes, we are one of the first clubs to support gog e-sports competitions. If there is no credit, there will be hard work..."

"It's not easy for clubs now. Most clubs are just burning money. We are also a vulnerable group. If there are no additional terms, the rights and interests of players are guaranteed. What should we do?"

Many club managers have expressed their similar ideas to Manager Li.

Obviously, it is impossible to let them accept supervision from the Tengda Esports Business Department without saying a word.

The managers of these e-sports clubs are all old-fashioned and are very clear about the tricks here.

The key is that even if they accept it, most of the bosses of their own clubs will not accept it.

They dare not make things clear, but they can play the favor card and create some pressure without telling the matter out of it.

Generally speaking, game manufacturers will give you three points of thin air and will not make things a mess.

Manager Su didn't say anything and secretly looked at Mr. Pei who was sitting aside without saying a word.

He couldn't guess what kind of mentality Mr. Pei would have.

If it is someone else, you may smile and comfort the managers of various clubs. You can discuss this matter slowly and make a long-term plan.

But if it were Mr. Pei, it would be impossible to scold all these managers with a grim expression. Mr. Pei had the confidence to do so.

After all, the regulations issued by Zhang Yuan were clearly written. If you disagree, you can transfer the GPL access qualification and even the entire GoG branch to a third party.

This shows that Mr. Pei is very determined to promote this matter.

But things are not that absolute. After all, having the worst case plan doesn’t mean it needs to be used. No matter how firm Mr. Pei’s attitude is, he has to give him a buffer, right?

Manager Su looked at Mr. Pei and found that the corners of Mr. Pei's mouth were slightly raised, as if it was a little... joy?

Can't?

Is this a soothing smile or a sneer?

Manager Su suddenly felt something was wrong and did not develop as he expected. He hurriedly swallowed the words on his lips.

Zhang Yuan sighed silently. These old foxes did not submit so easily.

They dare not slap the table directly, but they can play emotional cards and pretend to be pitiful.

There is a saying that goes, "If you don't hit people with a smile, it will be easier if you dare to turn your back. If you are afraid of them, you will be afraid that they will always be weak. If Tengda handles too tough, it will create some bad public opinion, which will also give other clubs the impression that "Tengda is unreasonable", which will be difficult to deal with.

Zhang Yuan subconsciously looked at Mr. Pei sitting aside.

At this critical moment, it depends on how Mr. Pei will deal with it.
