Is talent in demand in the esports industry?

E-sports In recent years, the e-sports industry has developed rapidly, and the value of e-sports TP has been rising. In 2015, the scale of the domestic e-sports market was 100 million yuan, in 2016, the market size reached 100 million yuan, and the user scale reached 100 million, and the momentum in 2017 was even stronger. At present, China has surpassed the United States to become the world's largest game market, but what is incompatible with this is that there is a huge talent gap in the e-sports industry.

The scarcity of talent is one of the bottlenecks faced by the emerging industry of esports.

The main employment directions of e-sports majors:

Game planners, designers, etc.

It has to be said that talents in game production in China are scarce, and the reason for this is naturally the influence of the educational environment. E-sports majors are one of the few majors that can have an in-depth understanding of games, and these people are naturally more reliable in game design.

Game commentary, etc.

With the development of China's game industry, from Beijing and Shanghai to third-tier cities, more and more game competitions are held all over the country. This requires a certain understanding of the game, which is not something that anyone can control.

Career Coach. E-sports majors study games more thoroughly, a game will be analyzed at multiple levels and dimensions, and the analysis concept will be taught to students. After mastering the core idea and honing it, it is not difficult to be an ordinary game coach.

Esports pro.

2.Bonus, the bonus is divided into two pieces, one is the bonus won by winning the game, usually tens of thousands of yuan, even millions of dollars in large competitions, and the other is the bonus given by the boss after winning the game, which is generally about 100,000.

3.Endorsement income, because today's e-sports professional players are like stars in the e-sports circle, many of them have super high popularity, and the team can use their popularity to receive endorsements, and as super popular players, they also have a commission.

4.Live broadcast income, now all slightly well-known professional players will start live broadcasts, first, the anchor's signing fee is very high. One is that the team can get a commission from it, and the other is that the players can also make more money.

So to sum up, it is no problem for a third-tier professional player to earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, a second-tier professional player to earn about 20,000 yuan a month, and a first-tier professional player is not necessarily, the minimum is to start with hundreds of thousands, and the high is hundreds of millions.
