Coming out of the high-speed rail station, Chen Mo took a taxi directly to the competition~щww~~lā
This time the competition is called "Phantom Cup". Of course, the name was chosen by the organizer, who is also the person from Shenhuan Game Platform. The Shenhuan game platform is not only a game channel, but also ahead of most companies in this kind of game events.
It has to be said that although Ding Xing, the president of Shenhuan Game Platform, knows nothing about game design, he still has some vision for the development prospects of the game market.
Chen Mo had a little conflict with the Shenhuan game platform, that is, when he was working on Thunder Chess and Thunder game platform, he once robbed the users of Emperor Dynasty and Shenhuan game platform.
But as the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. The development momentum of "Warcraft" in China is so good, and there is no need for Ding Xing to struggle with money. If he can cooperate with Chen Mo, he will definitely not be cautious. Cut off your own money.
Originally, the professional development of "Legion Conquer" in China was not bad, and all major clubs had plans to recruit "Legion Conquer" masters to form branches. As a result, the birth of "Warcraft" directly muddied the water, and many The club still decided to wait and see, after all, it is very likely that only one winner will be left after the two games are fought.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing to set up the "Legion Conquest" branch early, but the game became cold within two months.
"Warcraft" has its own qualifying and video recording system. The level of players is clearly distinguished. A group of masters has also begun to emerge. It has also accumulated a certain amount of enthusiasm on the live broadcast website. The conditions for this kind of small competition are fully mature. up.
The venue for this competition was chosen to be in Shanghai, and it was an offline match. The contestants and guest hosts were going to play in Shanghai. It's just that because of the relatively small scale of this competition, there is no auditorium, and it is only broadcast live on the entire network through the live broadcast platform.
When Chen Mo came to the competition venue, a special person was in charge of receiving him, leading him to the hotel to check in, and also got a document introducing the competition schedule.
This time, a total of eight people with relatively high scores in "Warcraft" in China were invited. Old acquaintances such as goph, Wanfeng, and digw who had fought against Chen Mo on the ladder all came.
Every game is straight to the knockout rounds, eight to four, four to two, finals, there is no loser's bracket or rematch. The main reason is that the scale of this competition is relatively small, so there is no need for such complicated rules.
The game lasted for two days, and it was over on the weekend. The first day was eight to four, and the second day was the semi-finals, third place and finals. There is a bonus for the champion, runner-up and third runner-up.
The bonus is not too much, but it is also a lot. What's more, this time it was a live broadcast on the whole network, and it was the first time that the great gods decided the outcome through bo in a relatively formal occasion, so these players took it very seriously.
The partner with Chen Mo is a professional game commentator named Zhang Yang. He has also commented on some game events before.
The organizer invited Chen Mo to explain this time, and in addition to reimbursement for the round-trip ticket, board and lodging, they also gave a commentary fee of 50,000 yuan. After all, Chen Mo's status is special, so he definitely can't calculate the money according to the market price of the commentary.
Chen Mo's commentary was a gimmick for the organizers. The designer of "Warcraft" came to do the game commentary in person. This gimmick alone can already attract many viewers!
Of course, the organizers were also worried that Chen Mo didn't have experience in commenting. What if he ran off the train with his mouth full of words? So Zhang Yang was arranged to be his partner, mainly to control the field. As for the professional analysis, I will leave it to Chen Mo to complete.
For Chen Mo, this is also a good promotion opportunity, and he hasn't done a commentary yet, just to experience it and show his face in front of the players.
At the competition site, the contestants have all arrived and are debugging the machines.
Zhang Yang came over to say hello to Chen Mo: "Mr. Chen, how are you?"
Chen Mo couldn't help but recall a certain photographer surnamed Chen in his previous life: "Don't, don't call me Mr. Chen, it always reminds me of someone."
Zhang Yang: "Huh?"
Chen Mo waved his hand: "It's okay, you should call me by my full name, don't forget the word 'Mo'."
Zhang Yang Yile: "Okay, you are a professional designer, please give me your advice today."
Chen Mo also smiled: "Hey, what kind of professional designer, today we are both commentators and partners."
Zhang Yang nodded: "Yes, it seems that you are entering at a fast pace. Come on, let's debug the equipment first."
Zhang Yang cooperated with the staff to debug the equipment, and Chen Mo didn't need to worry about anything, as there would be someone to arrange it anyway. After the equipment was debugged, Chen Mo said a few words and tried it out, and everything was normal.
Zhang Yang looked at the live broadcast room on his mobile phone. The signal has not been picked up yet, and the live broadcast room is still dark.
As a result, there were already more than 200,000 viewers in the live broadcast room.
Zhang Yang was surprised and said: "Hey, there are quite a lot of spectators today. The competition hasn't started yet, and it's more than 200,000 yuan. When it starts, it will cost 700,000 to 800,000 yuan."
On the screen of the live broadcast room, many viewers were also chatting.
"Why don't you start yet? Hurry up, wait!"
"I heard that Chen Mo is coming today?"
"Who is Chen Mo?"
"The designer of "Warcraft"!"
"Really? What is he doing here?"
"Explain the game!"
"Wow, I feel that today's game is quite interesting. The designer must have a deeper understanding of the game than ordinary people. Let's see what he has to say."
"I don't know if Chen Mo can play his own game or not, and I don't know what segment he is. Maybe he hasn't arrived yet?"
"It's possible, after all, many designers are handicapped."
You can say anything.
Zhang Yang laughed: "Hey, the audience is still looking forward to it. It's about to start, come on, let's watch the camera."
The live screen came out.
Zhang Yang: "Hello, friends and viewers who are watching the live broadcast. Welcome to the 'Phantom Cup' "Warcraft" Invitational Tournament hosted by Shenhuan Game Platform. I am the commentator Zhang Yang."
Chen Mo followed, "I'm explaining Chen Mo."
The audience was also very curious, is this Chen Mo? Much younger than imagined!
The audience basically didn't know Chen Mo, and this was the first time they saw his true face. After all, when you usually play games, you don't care who its designer is.
Zhang Yang said: "It's also the first time for Mr. Chen Mo to come as a guest commentator. I think many audience members are very excited, and they are all using barrage to welcome them."
Chen Mo said: "Really, let me see, it seems that they are all swiping 'Chen Mo pay me back my hard-earned money'?"
Zhang Yang is happy, this Chen Mo is quite good at making troubles, this burden comes as soon as you say it, maybe you didn't talk about cross talk in your previous life, right
Zhang Yang said, "Hey, Mr. Chen Mo, you are too good at joking."
Chen Mo waved his hand: "Don't, don't, didn't we say it before the broadcast, don't call me Teacher Chen Mo, it's too polite."
Zhang Yang: "Then what do I call you?"
Chen Mo said, "Call me Designer Chen. After all, my main job is to design games."
The audience is all happy, so the commentary should be well explained, why are you still talking about cross talk
Zhang Yang was speechless: "Are you being polite? Come on, I'll call you Teacher Chen Mo."
Chen Mo said: "Just now, I mainly made a joke to brighten up the atmosphere. Today is also the first time I will do a commentary, and I am very excited to be partnered with Teacher Zhang Yang."
The bullet screens all complained: "This is your first commentary, I feel that you must have done cross talk in your previous life, this is completely familiar!"...
