Imperial Capital, the mg e-sports club.
"Mr. Chen, welcome."
A slightly fat, slightly bald but energetic man stretched out his hand to Chen Mo.
Bai Shunhua, the manager of the mg e-sports club.
"Excuse me." Chen Mo and Bai Shunhua shook hands.
"Hey, Mr. Chen is being polite." Bai Shunhua hurriedly said, "Not to mention that you are Mr. Zhao's friend, even if you don't have this relationship, you are still a distinguished guest of our club. After all, "League of Legends" is developing so well now, our club In the future, we will establish a "League of Legends" branch, and we need to establish a good relationship with you."
"Come on, please come in."
Bai Shunhua said, and brought Chen Mo into the club building.
Before, Chen Mo only had a general understanding of the ecology of domestic clubs in some parallel worlds, but he didn't know much about the specific operation of the clubs.
This time, I also asked Zhao Zihao, and then I made a call to the manager of Mg e-sports club through a relationship. Chen Mo intends to inspect the current status of various clubs and prepare for the promotion of "League of Legends" events in the future.
&nbg The e-sports club is located in the imperial capital, so it is not too troublesome to come here.
Before coming, Chen Mo also learned a little about the living conditions of domestic e-sports clubs in the parallel world on the Internet.
It can be summed up in one sentence: a good life, but very informal.
This is mainly the chain reaction caused by the lack of rich game types.
At present, there are more than a dozen relatively large e-sports clubs in China, and they are concentrated in two places, the Imperial City and the Magic City, of which the Magic City accounts for the majority.
However, there are also some e-sports clubs located in other first-tier cities.
Mg should be ranked among the top three e-sports clubs in China, and it is also the largest club in the imperial capital.
The full name of mg is mysteriousgaming, and the boss behind it is also a rich second generation. Of course, most of the owners of e-sports clubs in this world are wealthy second-generation rich. After all, the rich generation usually play traditional sports.
Speaking of the status quo of the development of these clubs, their economic situation is not bad. They are not purely money-burning things, they can be responsible for their own profits and losses, and even make some money, so they are developing fairly well.
But the biggest problem is that it is not formal enough.
In the final analysis, it is because of the problem of the game. There are only a few games that can be used as competitive events in this world: fps, mmorpg, and rts. Without the pillar of moba games, it is difficult for the first few games to support a very large video game. Competition industry.
FPS games in this world are also relatively popular, but after all, they are mainly popular on the VR platform, and the number of players is naturally limited. But even so, fps games are currently the main competitive game items of major clubs.
RTS games are also pretty good. At present, major clubs have established "Warcraft" divisions, and there are also some small-scale events. But rts also has a relatively small number of players, and it is impossible to establish a long-term league. There are only some sporadic cup games in China, and each club generally only supports 1 or 2 rts game players.
&nbmorpg, this is the part Chen Mo wants to complain about the most. It stands to reason that mmorpg should not be regarded as a qualified e-sports project, because this kind of game requires a lot of money and time to create a top-level account. It is not so much playing e-sports as playing krypton gold.
MMORPG naturally has unfairness in time, and it is difficult to guarantee the balance and enjoyment of this kind of game, so in Chen Mo's previous life, MMORPG did not produce any influential games at all.
But there is a little difference in the parallel world, that is, these e-sports clubs have some additional business: studios.
Because the prototypes of these e-sports clubs are game studios. As the oldest type of online game, mmorpg was once the dominant game. The rich second generation who set their sights on the game field immediately thought of setting up their own studio.
Gold making, power leveling, game channel promotion... Basically anything that has anything to do with games, the studio can get involved and get a share of the action.
And these large-scale mmorpgs are also helpless to the existence of the studio. Although the studio will destroy the game ecology, it will also play a role in promoting and promoting the game.
What's more, it is unrealistic to completely kill the studio.
Therefore, in the parallel world, large game companies and these game studios have formed a mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationship. When game companies design mmorpg games, they will leave a little room for the studios to play, and each studio also has unspoken rules. , that is, you can't use any scripts or cheats to damage the interests of the game company.
After all, if it is really torn apart, the studio is still no match for the game company.
The e-sports clubs that grew up in this environment still have some remnants of studio characteristics, and they are not completely on the right track like Chen Mo's previous life.
&nbmorpg games, such as "The Oracle of the Moon God" and "Three Kingdoms", have some rich GVG and PVP content. For example, "Three Kingdoms" is completely the main national war mode, which also gives the major clubs some room to play.
Therefore, the clubs in the parallel world mainly use the three game types of fps, mmorpg and rts as the main layout direction, while fps and rtorpg projects are more profitable.
The building of the MG e-sports club is quite grand. It is a four-storey building, and the decoration is full of sense of technology, giving people a very avant-garde and modern feeling.
On the outer wall of the building, there is the logo of the E-sports Club: a nebula icon full of mystery, which is very textured.
Bai Shunhua took Chen Mo to visit the entire internal structure of the e-sports club, and introduced it as he walked.
"This is the daily rest area for our players."
"This is the canteen for the contestants. We have specially hired three aunties who cook. Basically, the diet can be well guaranteed."
"Up from here is the players' lounge. We currently have two players sharing a room, which is similar to a standard hotel room, but there are some personal belongings of some players inside, and there is nothing to see here. I don't need to visit this one for now. .”
"The entire area here used to be a training room. You must swipe your card to enter. Unrelated personnel are not allowed to enter. The main reason is that it will affect the daily training of the players."
Bai Shunhua swiped his badge on the access control at the entrance of the training area, and the technological glass door opened.
"President Chen, please."
Bai Shunhua led Chen Mo into the training area.
The training area is divided into many different cubicles, each row has 7 seats, the seats are relatively loose, and the environment is good.
Many players were training. Occasionally, after someone glanced at Bai Shunhua and Chen Mo, they turned their heads and continued playing the game.
Bai Shunhua introduced: "Currently we have 6 relatively large divisions. For fps games, there are the "Fire Assault" division and the "Wolf Soul" division. Together, there are 13 members. Inside, the VR game cabin is usually used for training.”
