Hello LPL viewers and League of Legends summoners, this is the World Game Exchange.
The most surprising thing about this year's LCK league is that the T1 team changed the championship and played well, and after Gumayusi entered the bench, the return date was far away, which sparked a heated discussion among the audience about the champion's bottom lane strength.
And yesterday, another big event happened in the LCK, and Gumayusi actually started selling classes.
Here's the thing, Gumayusi publicly released a new news yesterday, his "Two-time World Champion Championship Mentality Secrets and LOL Practical Skills" course is about to be launched, there are two parts, which will officially start on April 22, and the price of the two-part course will increase by about 1100 yuan.
On the course promotion page, Gumayusi describes his course as follows: "I wanted to teach not just gaming skills, but how to become a real professional gamer, including the skills of mindset management that were widely acclaimed in university presentations, and the skills of winning a world championship two years in a row."
There is also a series of unit catalogs at the back, not only for gamers, but also for people who want to improve their mental qualities and skills, as well as for people who are tired of achieving their goals, etc.
At the end of the course, he also said that after listening to the lecture, he will have an unwavering heart, a practical methodology to overcome failures and troughs, etc., in short, his course seems to be very widespread, and it seems that everyone will have a certain harvest in class, but for this kind of active professional player selling class, the controversy on the Internet can be said to be very big.
As we all know, in the field of LOL e-sports, Letme can be called the first person to write a book, but the book he wrote is now evaluated by the audience as toilet paper, and Gumayusi will undoubtedly become the first person to sell courses in the LOL field, and no professional player has ever done such a thing before.
This is undoubtedly a strange marketing behavior, and there is likely to be a pusher behind it to make money, the essence is an attempt to monetize professional traffic, there is a suspicion of cutting leeks, a player who won the world championship, has top strength and a good mentality, which is indeed true, but Gumayusi may not be a good speaker or teacher, he obviously does not look like a person who can preach and teach and solve doubts.
You must know that professional players value talent very much, and many people's success cannot be replicated, many things cannot be taught, plus it is very important that not long after Gumayusi entered the bench, he launched such a course, which is not very convincing.
Personally, I think that the same is selling classes, and the better time node for selling classes is obviously not now, but after winning the championship last year, after winning the championship last year, the T1 players obviously have more time to do something else, but now when the team is still playing, the players suddenly start teaching.
After Gumayusi starts selling classes, the audience will start to wonder if Gumayusi really doesn't have the ability to return to the ring, and a player who is still playing professional does it, so what will happen to his daily training?
From two aspects, if Gumayusi spends a lot of time and energy on this course, it proves that Gumayusi will sit on the bench for a long time and neglect his training as a professional player, and Gumayusi's future status will be difficult to guarantee.
And if Gumayusi didn't put that much time and effort into the course, it would prove that this act was pure leek cutting.
In other words, no matter from which point of view, Gumayusi's selling class will make his off-court reputation worse, either he will be criticized for his lack of strength and have no heart after mixing two championships, or he will be criticized for a champion player who takes the top salary every year and cuts the leeks of fans.
Personally, I think the key point now is the matter of selling classes, which Gumayusi actively wants to try, or whether the T1 club or some of the companies behind it want Gumayusi to do this, no matter what the situation is, it is incomprehensible to the fans and audiences, and it can only be said that the current LOL profession is really becoming more and more incomprehensible.
