This year’s World Championship just finished, and Li Yang receives a ton of ssages every day.
"Yang, please make a coback!"
This year, LPL had three teams in the World Championship, but at the round of 32 to the round of 16, two were eliminated, and the remaining one was eliminated at the round of 16 to the round of 8.
Not even making it to the quarterfinals, it’s evident just how poor the tactical execution is.
The Korea Team dominated, with three Korean teams in the final four!
Li Yang started streaming, and right away people began sending gifts, a 500 yuan rocket, with hardly any breaks from the start to the end of the stream.
One particular guy gave more than 300 thousand in tips.
He finally said on the public chat: "Li Yang, if you make a coback in the tournant, I’ll tip you 10 million!"
Li Yang replied when he saw it: "Thank you for the tip, boss. As for the coback, forget it. Not to ntion my own competitive ability, everyone should be able to see with their own eyes the progress on the Korea Team side; they’ve completely figured out my ga thinking from last year. Even if I go on stage, it would be a dead end! Unless there are five of ! So I can only apologize to everyone. To the brothers who tipped today and feel it’s a loss, please contact the platform and get the money back. But just this once; if you tip again, I’ll accept it!"
Today was a clarification from Li Yang; many who tipped gifts wanted him to make a coback.
If the custor was unsatisfied, refunding the money was indeed fitting.
But after clarifying, if they continue to tip, he’ll just graciously accept it.
At that mont, Jiang Banxia walked in wearing pajamas, and when she appeared in front of the cara, the audience was stunned.
"Holy shit, Li Yang is living with Jiang Banxia?"
"Damn, no wonder he doesn’t want to compete. Who wouldn’t want to be with a rich woman like her instead of earning those asly bucks?"
"I’m stunned; I always thought it was hype, and now they’re hyping it together?"
"Brothers, who is this woman?"
"Wow, where did this newbie co from?"
"Let school you, this beauty is Yang’s childhood friend, and during last year’s bull market to the first half of this year, she made 6 billion and is a top rich woman! Now her Wanliu Capital manages funds totaling 20 billion; calculating managent fees alone, Wanliu Capital’s profit this year will exceed 500 million. And this doesn’t count the principal earnings she brings herself, even at the lowest estimate of 500 million, with a PE of 20, Wanliu Capital’s valuation would reach 10 billion! Simply put, the beauty before you is a top rich woman worth over 10 billion!"
Net worth and cash indeed aren’t the sa.
But after Jiang Banxia saw this ssage, she didn’t argue.
Even in terms of cash, she isn’t far from 10 billion.
The 4 billion in Wanliu Capital has absorbed all gains over these past two months, nearing 6 billion.
Adding the earnings from Wanliu Capital and the cash she still holds, if not 10 billion, it’s 8 billion plus.
Facing the cara, Jiang Banxia smiled and said: "Hello everyone, thank you all for supporting Wanliu Capital."
"Rich woman, I’ve thrown all my bride price in!"
"I’m regretting it so much now, I only had 100 thousand in hand back then, should have gone broke and thrown a million in, it’s risen nearly 40% these two months."
"Damn, I can’t tell whether to feel sorry for you or jealous of you! How co you’re all so damn rich!"
"Wow, you all invested? Why didn’t anyone tell this? I just glanced at it, that fund is going crazy!"
"Going crazy? It’s only risen just under 40%!"
"How arrogant are you? Just under 40%? The market has dropped 17% over these two months; nationwide all funds have averaged a 23% drop, only Wanliu Capital has risen over 30%!"
...
After Jiang Banxia made an appearance in the livestream, Wanliu Capital’s subscription funds broke 300 million the next day.
This is the influence Li Yang has on the internet.
Li Yang’s reputation in the esports circle isn’t very good, and he doesn’t have many friends in the industry, including forr teammates who don’t really associate with him.
Only Edzhu chats with Li Yang sotis, hoping for his coback, letting Li Yang set any price he wants.
As for the things he said in the stream yesterday, they subtly expressed disdain for LPL players, once again offending those people.
However, Li Yang doesn’t care.
Esports is a small industry, but in China, even the most niche industries won’t be bad.
Not to ntion the esports industry is only niche in terms of practitioners, its appeal isn’t niche at all, and it can fundantally be better served.
Every industry should strive to improve; otherwise, it can’t support such a strong economy dostically.
The current esports association is trash, a group of people who’ve never had any contact with esports are in charge.
Even in the next few years, they’re still trash, without a single decent set of rules erging.
Soon, it was November 25, 2015.
That day was Saturday, Li Yang was at the Jing University Entrepreneurship Center, chatting with a few people.
One of them was a fourth-year student from Qing University nad Huang Jing.
Huang Jing is an otaku who enjoys playing gas, naturally having an affinity for soone like Li Yang, a ga champion.
At this mont, he was discussing so data with Li Yang.
Looking at a sheet of paper, Huang Jing asked: "Junior, isn’t the chanism of this ga lacking fun in its gaplay? It’s purely about landing, gathering resources, and fighting. While its competitive aspect is strong, a ga must be equipped with diverse gaplay to retain enough audience, as the majority of players aren’t playing for competitiveness."
