Bai Shunhua led Chen Mo all the way in, introducing each branch to Chen Mo.

"The rpg game is the branch of "Luna God's Oracle", "Legend of the Sword" and "Three Kingdoms". The personnel in this area are not fixed, because this kind of game is not a purely competitive game, and usually does some Things like brushing equipment and playing activities."

"There are also rts games. At present, we have two divisions, "Warcraft" and "Legion Conquer". Cancel this branch."

"This is the training room of "Warcraft", Mr. Chen should be more interested?"

Chen Mo took a look.

The E-sports club seems to treat everyone equally, and allocated a training room of the same size to the "Warcraft" branch, but this training room is large enough to seat 14 people, but there are only three "Warcraft" players.

The entire training room seemed a bit empty.

Bai Shunhua explained: "Because "Warcraft" is mainly based on single-player competition, so we only need to find those star players with potential, instead of having to form a team of five like fps games."

Chen Mo nodded, expressing his understanding.

Bai Shunhua led Chen Mo around to other places, and finally returned to the reception room.

"That's about it. Is there anything else Mr. Chen wants to know?" Bai Shunhua asked.

Chen Mo nodded: "Well, I basically understand it."

Bai Shunhua took a cup of hot water from the water dispenser next to him and handed it to Chen Mo: "Mr. Chen said earlier that he wanted to talk about the development of e-sports. What exactly did he want to talk about?"

Chen Mo thought for a while, and thought about where to start.

"Manager Bai, does MG E-sports Club have any plans to set up a "League of Legends" branch?"

Bai Shunhua smiled: "Of course, Mr. Chen, "League of Legends" is a very fair competitive game. It has only been launched for less than three months, and its popularity in China has already reached the level of "Warcraft". How can we ignore such a critical area?"

"We plan to find some more potential ladder players next month at the latest, at least at the level of kings, and come to the base for a trial training. As for the formal formation of the team, it may be delayed a little bit, probably in June Put together a team and play some small tournaments."

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes. I have an idea about the e-sports mode of the game "League of Legends". I hope that all major clubs can form a long-term league together, just like traditional sports."

Bai Shunhua was taken aback: "Long-term league? Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"

Chen Mo said, "Manager Bai, you can imagine such a scene."

"Ten domestic clubs form ten first-line teams and establish a long-term league mechanism. The league has a spring split and a summer split. Each season will have a regular season and playoffs. The playoffs will determine the champion .”

"Three teams will be determined based on the points from the Spring and Summer Splits, and they will compete in the World Finals."

"In a large stadium, amidst the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators, two of the world's top teams compete for the highest honor of the year—the World Championship trophy and prize money worth millions of dollars."

"The major live broadcast platforms and even the traditional media will conduct live broadcasts and follow-up reports of this e-sports feast. By then, tens of millions of viewers around the world will watch it through the broadcast."

"Manager Bai, can you imagine what this will look like?"

Bai Shunhua was stunned, Chen Mo's words made him a little confused.

Bai Shunhua even had an illusion, as if he was a newcomer to the workplace, and as soon as he joined the job, he met a boss who was very good at pouring chicken soup and painting cakes, and when he talked about the prospect, he was completely involved.

However, after all, Bai Shunhua is the manager of the e-sports club, and he is very familiar with the domestic and foreign e-sports environment, so he quickly came to his senses.

He coughed twice and said: "Mr. Chen, this is indeed a very beautiful picture, and I also think that the e-sports industry is a sunrise industry, and it is indeed possible for it to reach the height of traditional sports at some point in the future, but Judging from the current development status of the domestic e-sports industry, it may take more than ten years to achieve the picture Mr. Chen envisions."

"It's not that the technology is not up to the mark. It's mainly a matter of influence. At present, the domestic game circle, oh, or the game circle in the entire world, does not have a competitive game project that can be as popular as football and basketball around the world. mmorpg On the contrary, there are more players, but the competitiveness is much worse.”

"In the final analysis, it is still a question of the number of players. If there are not enough players, there will be no audience. Then hosting this competition will be a complete loss of money. A loss of hundreds of millions will not be able to persist even with Mr. Chen's worth."

"As Mr. Chen said, the entire competition must have tens of millions of viewers, which means that the number of players in this game must reach at least the level of '100 million'. From the current point of view... this is too unreal."

Chen Mo smiled. Indeed, in terms of the current development of the e-sports industry in this world, it is not difficult for them to understand the concept he said, but it is too difficult for them to believe.

In Chen Mo's previous life, the s1 world finals of "League of Legends" was still unattended. By the time of the s2 finals, more than 8 million viewers watched it through the Internet and TV, and by the time of s3, this number had skyrocketed to 32 million. .

Indeed, if someone told you during s1 that 30 million people would watch an e-sports competition held at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles in two years, you would probably think he was bragging.

Chen Mo didn't intend to explain too much, just said: "Manager Bai, sometimes we have to take a long-term view, the development of "League of Legends" will be faster and faster, and this day may be far faster than we imagined." Come sooner."

"However, the first step is to establish a long-term mechanism in China, which is inseparable from the support of major clubs. After all, a league only has spectators and no players. I need major clubs to establish a comprehensive talent selection system. , cultivation, and trading mechanisms, this requires the cooperation of Manager Bai and other managers."

Bai Shunhua nodded: "No problem, Mr. Chen. In fact, this is what our mg club has been doing all the time. It's just that the previous game developers didn't care about it, and the major clubs don't have a unified manager, so they have been in chaos. status. If you are willing to bother in this regard, I believe other clubs should also be happy to cooperate with you."

Chen Mo nodded: "This is the best. Manager Bai, please tell other club managers that the first ten teams in the league have not been fully determined. The specific ten clubs to choose depends on their performance."

"By the way, please tell them that this quota seems to be given away for nothing now, but if you miss it, you will regret it for a long time in the future." For mobile phone users, please visit m. Reading for a better reading experience.
