The "E-Sports Persuading Retirement" training class is here: if you can't, you will retire in case of difficulty!
"In the circle, I am the person who plays the most powerful game, I think I can play professional e-sports..."
In an e-sports education institution in Chengdu, more than 100 trainees can be enrolled a year, 90% of which are young people with high morale.
Among them, more or less have problems such as being tired of learning and addicted to games.
After professional training and various simulation competitions, most people can finally recognize the gap between themselves and professional players and return to reality.
Such training has a special name, that is, "e-sports persuasion" business.
Some netizens joked that "teenagers feel that they can be professional and do not want to go to school, so their parents should send them to play games as e-sports players to persuade them to quit business."
It is understood that the current "e-sports persuasion" business market has good prospects, and parents are increasingly calling for this. In recent years, it has almost become the main business of e-sports education institutions.
Look at the case first
Teenager obsessed with games and suspected of autism
Know your level after training
"My child has autism." This is why Xiaoshuai's parents have searched for famous doctors over the past few years. For this, the couple spent five to six hundred thousand yuan.
They don't understand their son, why he doesn't love words so much, why he hates going to school so much, why he is always silly, and why he only loves games.
What fascinates the 14-year-old Xiaoshuai is the game called "Overwatch", a first-person shooter game that is popular all over the world.
This game, with the future earth as the background, tells the grievances between human beings, members of Overwatch, and intelligent machines.
Each battle hero has its own iconic weapons and skills.
Among the many young players in China, teenagers with an Overwatch game score of approximately 4,200 can participate in the domestic youth training (professional training for young people). Xiaoshuai is keen on this. With a lot of time and energy, his game score can be Close to 4000 points.
Seeing the child's words and deeds go further and further, the couple has no choice.
In the last attempt, through a friend's introduction, they found Yizhimeng E-sports Education in Chengdu.
This is a third-party educational institution that provides e-sports training. High-quality talents who have been trained and selected will have the opportunity to become professional e-sports players.
During the training, a whole day of super-intensity training and simulation competitions filled Xiaoshuai's time.
After a training session, Xiaoshuai's parents had a surprise discovery.
"The child finally spoke to us!" They shared this to Hou Xu, the head of the agency.
The long training didn't let Xiaoshuai get the results he wanted, and Xiaoshuai slowly became confused about his "level".
As the cold water went down, Xiaoshuai gradually gained a clear understanding of himself and the industry.
Third party:
90% fail to reach professional level
"E-sports persuasion" market demand is great
90% of Dreamwing’s business belongs to this kind of dismissal business. According to Hou Xu, this is a business that "correctly guides youth e-sports values".
The emergence of the e-sports dismissal business was an accident.
Hou Xu, who was also the secretary-general of the Chengdu E-sports Industry Association, recalled that about 3 years ago, Yizhimeng’s idea was relatively simple. It was to build a professional training base for young people in need to improve the level of ordinary people. Didn't realize the market's demand for e-sports "persuasion".
Slowly he discovered that most of the people who signed up were teenagers between the ages of 13 and 18.
They generally want to pass a period of training to reach the club’s youth training standards and thus embark on the path of professional players.
"But in fact, e-sports is very cruel. Your physiological reaction, awareness, teamwork ability, and overall character coordination, etc., are a comprehensive test of quality." Hou Xu admitted frankly that the mentality of many children is— —I am very good in my circle (school, community, etc.), but there are some outsiders and there are some outsiders. At least 90% of children cannot reach the level of professional players. Many children don't understand this very well.
"Our role is to let him accept a beating from society, let him know what his position is, and let him correctly understand that he is really not talented." Hou Xu said.
"We mainly do short training. We will give a report similar to a physical examination within two or three months and give a conclusion-whether this child is really suitable for playing a career. It is not long, but it allows the child and the parent to recognize the reality. So many parents are willing to come to us." Hou Xu told reporters that the current mentality of many parents is that their children like e-sports, so they give him a chance.
If he is talented, go, if not, I hope he understands correctly and chooses his own right path.
Hou Xu introduced that their institution was established in 2017 and recruits more than 100 students each year, of which over 90% are young people, and only 5% of the students have the opportunity to enter the youth training.
In communicating with most teenagers' parents, Hou Xu learned that children who are full of enthusiasm and believe that they can become professional players have more or less problems such as tired of studying and withdrawn, but the degree is different.
90% of the trainees were able to recognize themselves after the "persuasion", and the success rate was high.
"At present, many parents have come to consult, it can be said that the market demand for this business is very large." Hou Xu said.
Reporter observation
Those children who can't persuade
Deserves more research and attention
Not all students can recognize themselves in this professional team training experience, and this kind of students has deeper problems.
A 22-year-old college student, Xiao Meng, had a privileged family background and won foreign awards at an early age. However, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, he encountered the first bottleneck in his life. No matter how hard he tried, he was increasingly unable to respond to his parents’ expectations. .
In order to escape reality, he started playing games.
His parents were strict and he ran away from home for the first time.
When the family spent a whole day finding him back, the child found that instead of scolding him, they were very persuasive and stopped asking him to do this or that.
After that, Xiaomang ran away from home for the second and third time.
For the last time, Xiaomeng disappeared for half a year, and finally his parents found him in an Internet cafe in Mianyang.
Later, Xiaomang came to Yizhimeng.
During the training, Xiaomang performed well and eventually managed to return home, but Hou Xu believed that this "persuasion" was not successful: "This child's problem is already very serious. First of all, the 22-year-old has a fixed mind. Dang. When his parents found him in the Internet cafe, he did not resist at all, but calmly expressed that he wanted to pack his luggage first. In the training of Yi Zhi Meng, he also felt that he was good at dealing with different environments and characters, and tried to express the expectations of each other "The appearance of him." Hou Xu said, many times Xiaomeng's performance is deliberate, and that is not the real him.
For students in this situation, they have gained more recognition in the game world, thus indulging in the virtual world and gradually escaping from reality.
However, the decline in grades caused by this situation of students makes parents think that it is caused by playing games.
"Escape from reality leads a child to indulge in games, but not to indulge in games leads him to escape from reality. This is a misunderstanding that many parents put the cart before the horse."
A practitioner once introduced: Among their students, some of their parents were divorced, suffered from school bullying, parental domestic violence, etc., which caused 90% of the students to escape emotions, and this is also a "dismissal" service The real reason for not being effective.
