[The following is a recruitment thread from LGD's official Weibo]
When we are in a game, we behave like a well-disciplined and highly-organized army unit. When we are not in a game, we are full of sunshine, youth, energy, passion, and love. I want to say that we are more of a family than a team.
The Youth Esports Club was created through a collaborative effort of investments from three different clubs: inG, LGD, and iG. The club backers have a combined total of two LPL spots and one LSPL spot. For a player with skill and potential, this is a chance to grow in an environment with plentiful resources and a wide platform. The goal of the Youth Esports Club is to work towards qualifying for LSPL and to supply premier leagues like LPL with great prospects.
The team base is an approximately 400 square meters, fully furnished high-end villa located in Shanghai’s Songjiang District. Peaceful and elegant, it provides access to nearby grass fields, man-made lakefront, large commercial shopping malls, supermarkets, Starbucks, and etc.
In terms of living conditions, we have the best personal chef to take care of all the dining arrangements. Regardless of how thin or how picky you are, I believe that you won’t have any issues when it comes to food after joining us. Three meals a day plus late-night snacks [translator’s note: more common in China], every meal includes a minimum of 10 dishes. We will provide all the other living necessities and the cleanest living environment. We are also equipped with top-end computers, mouse, and keyboard for the purpose of creating the top-notch training environment. We are working to continuously looking for ways to improve the facility. In private, we will often organize team dinners, trips, and events. We are a team but we are more of a family.
Someone has once said that “we need to have dreams so one day we can achieve them.” We experienced countless competitions of all sizes, and every match is a roller-coaster ride of emotions. We are working hard, but at the same time, we are enjoying the camaraderie of our teammates and brothers, the feeling of marching into battle hand in hand. We are enjoying the competitions, the professional life, and the stage filled with passion and enthusiasm—the burning desire to climb to the top. We are enjoying the life basking in the sun. Since you chose the professional life, why not go to the LPL and dream for the one chance to walk on the world stage? We live for the dazzling life.
In regards to the coaching staff:
