Rebirth is fine, but I get eight hundred dollars right from the start?

He intends to use the traffic generated by esports to pave the way for his e-commerce empire.

If nobody plays it, then young people won't pay attention.

No attention, no traffic;

Without any online presence or connections, how can he compete with others?

The losses will be far greater than the loss of a few championships.

Therefore, he will not follow the old path of SKT, who thought "I'm strong enough, you can do whatever you want." After his own club and league are on the right track, he will also have to figure out how to help other regions.

I have to help the guys in the European and American regions win a couple more championships so that the viewers there have something to look forward to. They don't want to keep watching Koreans fighting each other and make them want to quit the game.

As for what will happen to LCK in the end?

Lin Shu smiled.

How big is their market in total?

Moreover, for a country that relies on esports entertainment as its foundation, facing a professional market worth hundreds of billions, they have no choice but to stay, even if they can't win.

Because it's not a question of whether you want to leave or not, it's that you simply cannot leave.

……

"The first thing is the club's daily discipline management."

1. Rest and Work Schedule Restrictions:

"Strictly prohibit staying up all night, playing ranked games, watching videos, or playing other games without permission. Training will be suspended at a fixed time every night for everyone to rest."

2. Training Prohibition:

"Training time is prohibited from: listening to music, watching live streams, browsing forums, playing casual matches, randomly playing heroes, idling, and playing passively."

3. Prohibitions on speech and behavior:

"Arguing, shifting blame, tanking, and being sarcastic are prohibited within the team; silence and sulking are not allowed after a loss in a scrim; a review and discussion are mandatory."

4. External Prohibitions:

"It is forbidden to go out overnight without permission, to accept private coaching services, to accept private training sessions, to accept commercial activities, or to give interviews without permission."

5. Account bans

"Professional accounts and high-ranking accounts are strictly prohibited from being lent out or played by others. Any violation will result in severe penalties and suspension from training."

"If there are regulations, there must be penalties for violating them."

"The following is HWG's reward and punishment system:"

"1. Being late or leaving early (absence from training): One instance will result in a deduction of the day's salary, and three instances will result in a deduction of half a month's performance bonus."

"2. Negative training attitude, random hero selection, and practice of fun strategies: a fine of 200 yuan per instance, and mandatory two additional ranked matches."

"3. Blaming each other, arguing, and losing one's temper within the team: fine of 300 RMB and public apology within the team."

"4. Staying up all night without permission or violating the rules of the schedule: One day of suspension from training, extra training and review, and deduction of the monthly allowance."

"5. Going out without permission or not returning home overnight: This is a serious violation of discipline and will result in a major demerit. In severe cases, the contract will be terminated."

"6. Intentionally playing recklessly, feeding kills, or engaging in passive play during training matches: All performance bonuses for the month will be deducted, and the player will be suspended from training for reflection."

"..."

Lin Shu read out the club's core management principles, five daily disciplinary rules, and penalty regulations in one breath.

The last point mainly addresses the current environment of the Chinese server. No one cares what you do before you go pro, and there are no specific regulations.

However, once you adopt the title of a professional player, you should have sufficient self-discipline.

Since we've decided to pursue a professional path from the start, it's best to take preventative measures in this regard beforehand.

"That's really strict—"

White Crescent gasped, turning to the three people beside him, trying to find some common ground on their faces: "How come this feels even more exaggerated than when I was in school?"

"That's normal. Anything that becomes professional is never easy."

Li Nan is very receptive. He traveled all over the country with his business parents since he was a child and saw many training scenes in traditional sports youth training camps. Those young players started training three times a day when they were seven or eight years old. If they lost a game, they were punished by standing, running laps, and doing push-ups until they cried.

By comparison, sitting here playing games with someone cooking for you is like heaven.

Zhang Hai shrugged, his tone carrying a sense of "you're making a fuss over nothing": "You need to understand what it means to be born into a family within the system." He counted on his fingers, "My dad leaves home at seven every morning without fail and doesn't come back until eleven at night, all year round."

"My daily schedule from childhood to adulthood was tailor-made by my mother. These rules are just routine for me."

Sima the Old Thief didn't speak, but after hearing the management regulations, his eyes became even brighter.

White Crescent Moon: "..."

He silently organized his thoughts, and finally only two words came out:

The thief is a scoundrel.

The boss is a devil, fine, but how come one or two of my teammates have masochistic tendencies?

He went through the backgrounds of these three people in his mind;

One was a businessman who grew up in the business world, another came from a government compound, and the third was a taciturn person whose mind was a mystery—none of them seemed to be "normal."

Before White Crescent could continue its EMO, Lin Shu followed up with his words.

"Now that we've covered the punishments, let's move on to our team's reward system."

"1. Perfect attendance and zero violations in a single month: 300 yuan bonus for perfect attendance."

"2. The player with the highest Rank and the greatest improvement in the team will be awarded 500 yuan as the best player of the month."

"3. Ranked first in training match win rate and consistently carry: Monthly special reward."

"4. Outstanding performance in the competition: bonuses for all staff, salary increases, and increased revenue sharing from e-commerce."

As he spoke, Lin Shu added, "The aforementioned performance evaluation does not include the Emperor—that is, myself—due to the contract terms that allow me to receive a larger share of e-commerce traffic revenue."

"Finally, here's our daily training schedule!"

"09:30—Everyone wakes up, has breakfast, and tidies up their rooms!"

"Staying in bed late, procrastinating, and sleeping in late are prohibited. The logistics department will conduct regular room cleanliness inspections."

"10:00 AM - Morning meeting, usually 15 minutes!"

"The main focus is on reviewing yesterday's issues, today's training goals, hero proficiency tasks, and today's training match schedule."

10:15 - Individual Training (Phase 1)

"Focus on matchup practice, laning details, split pushing, and honing your individual fundamentals."

"Requirement: No practicing casual heroes; only practice heroes from the competitive hero pool."

12:00-14:00; Lunch + Nap

14:00 — Team 5-player squad/High-ranking climb (team synergy training)

"Key practice areas: laning rhythm, lane swapping, minion wave understanding, small-scale team fights, vision control and positioning."

"16:00—Official training match!"

"A fixed 3-5 training matches every day."

18:30 PM — Dinner + Short Break!

19:30 — Evening Specialized Training

"Addressing weaknesses identified on the day:"

"Specific ranked practice for weak laning phase, team fight mistakes, vision gaps, and decision-making errors."

"Team members take turns recording and reviewing the game, and each person must give a summary."

"21:30—Continue with training matches + comprehensive review!"

"The whole team reviewed all the video recordings of today's training match, analyzing each frame to identify problems."

"Problems with draft picks, minion wave management, tempo, team fight positioning, communication breakdowns, and decision-making flaws."

"I usually lead the tactical review and unify the team's playing style."

"Free Rank after 23:30 PM! However, rest no later than 1:30 AM!"

"The above training schedule gives you a week to adapt, but I don't believe in reducing the intensity if you can't adapt."

After saying that, Lin Shu pulled an A4 sheet of paper from the table and handed it to Li Nan, who was closest to him. "To save costs, we won't make a special training board for now. You can put it on the door of the training room later."

"Okay... okay, Master."

Li Nan paused for two seconds before taking it from Lin Shu's hand.

The other three people in the room weren't much better off; they were equally taken aback by HWG's exaggerated training volume.

What...what the hell?

Do I have to work on it from 10 a.m. to 1:30 a.m.?

Even with a three-hour break at noon and in the afternoon, the excessively long time span still exceeded the intensity of competition that the participants were aware of in the current esports scene.
