Champion's Blade - Riven's skin is priced at 99, that is to say, every time a player buys this skin, the total prize pool of the "League of Legends" S1 World Finals will increase by 50 yuan.
(Players who have purchased live tickets to the s1 finals will automatically get this skin.)
Moreover, in the most prominent position on the official website of "League of Legends", it will also refresh the current changes in the prize pool of the S1 finals in real time.
This news immediately aroused heated discussions among the "League of Legends" players. Everyone was shocked. With so many bonuses, Chen Mo is crazy
There have been many e-sports competitions before, both domestic and foreign, but I have never heard of such a high prize money. The highest prize pool is basically only a million dollars. As for domestic competitions, there are many competitions where the champion only has a prize of hundreds of thousands of soft sister coins.
As a result, Chen Mo directly raised the total prize pool to the level of 7 million dollars? !
Moreover, if you buy the Champion's Blade - Riven skin, half of the proceeds will be included in the total prize pool. Considering the current popularity of "League of Legends" in the world, this part of the income will definitely not be small. Although the players couldn't estimate the specific number, it would definitely be no problem to add a few hundred thousand dollars in revenue.
Because this is not just a limited skin, it is also bundled with the limited edition avatar and avatar frame of the s1 global finals, which is a proof of the old player's identity and is very commemorative.
Many players are feeling that Chen Mo is really generous. I am afraid that there is really no second person in the country who dares to play like this!
Indeed, as far as the current situation is concerned, Leiting Huyu is not the most profitable game company in China. There are also established game companies such as Emperor Huyu and Zen Huyu in front of it.
However, the difference between Leiting Huyu and these companies is that it is completely Chen Mo's opinion here, and Chen Mo can spend the money as he wants, and no one will jump out to object.
If big companies like Dichao Huyu and Zenyihuyu want to spend so much money to organize competitions, Lin Zhaoxu or Liu Yuanfeng can’t just say a word. These companies have financial reporting pressure and must be responsible to all shareholders. A matter of purely losing money and making money at a loss will face great resistance.
Therefore, Chen Mo is really the only one who dares to play like this in China.
The huge bonus pool instantly attracted the attention of a large number of players, and became the biggest gimmick before the start of the "League of Legends" S1 World Finals!
…
One week before the start of the s1 world finals, the promotional video about this finals was also simultaneously posted on the homepages of the client servers of the national server and the world server, as well as major video websites.
Due to the rush of time, this video was not fancy, it was just a mix of some game CG and event videos, interspersed with Chen Mo's speeches.
The purpose of this promotional video is very simple. It is to let players, especially overseas players, better feel Chen Mo's determination to promote "League of Legends" and create a complete e-sports system.
"The "League of Legends" s1 World Finals is the biggest "League of Legends" event so far, and it is expected to become the biggest e-sports event."
"Professional players from all over the world will gather in Shanghai to compete for the e-sports glory with the highest prize money in history."
"Here, let me introduce to you the World Finals of the first season of "League of Legends"."
"In this world finals, we provided more than 7 million US dollars in prize money, and the prize pool is still expanding. Players who buy the Champion Blade - Riven skin will get half of the proceeds into the prize pool."
"Sixteen top teams will compete, but only the top teams can win the championship trophy and the huge prize money of the championship."
"Here, we make a promise to the "League of Legends" summoners all over the world. "League of Legends" will become the representative of the strongest e-sports game in the next few years. How many summoners will watch this S1 World Finals with us."
"We want players and the whole world to see the determination of Thunder Interactive Entertainment in promoting e-sports, which is why we have invested such huge resources in this finals."
"This "League of Legends" finals will be different from any e-sports competition you are familiar with in the past. You will see the two strongest teams in the world compete at the top."
"October 5th, we are in Shanghai, witness together!"
This video was translated into multiple languages, with subtitles, and was also posted on the national server, European server, American server, Korean server, and video sites in various regions.
This video is mainly for domestic and foreign players to better feel the atmosphere of this s1 world finals.
"League of Legends" has only been launched overseas for more than half a year. Although it has developed very well and spread quickly, and major clubs have also established branches of "League of Legends", after all, the popularity is not so high.
Therefore, Chen Mo adopted a more convenient method for the S1 World Finals this time. The team directly adopted the invitation system, and as for the broadcast, it was directly conducted through the "League of Legends" client.
Some foreign video websites and live broadcast platforms will also broadcast, but after all, they cannot be pushed to every "League of Legends" player at a fixed point. It is not as convenient as watching the game directly on the client.
This video also successfully aroused the expectations of foreign players for this finals, and the S1 World Finals has also become a hot topic of discussion among players on European servers, American servers, and Korean servers.
"My God, "League of Legends" offers more than $7 million in prize money? This is far more than all current e-sports events, right?"
"Is this Chinese company crazy?"
"Obviously, the guy named silent in the video is the producer and owner of "League of Legends". He is very optimistic about the prospect of this game. However, we really have to admire his generosity!"
"It's true from the video. He actually said that he wants to make "League of Legends" the strongest e-sports representative? What a great goal!"
"I didn't pay attention to this event at all, I thought it was just a very ordinary game, but this video successfully caught my attention!"
"Indeed, it seems that Silent is planning to make it an unprecedented e-sports competition. This guy's concept is really advanced! It's a pity that I can't go to watch the game in person."
"It seems that you haven't heard of ticket sales before?"
"Yes, it's a pity that the tickets are not sold overseas. After all, "League of Legends" is a game that has just been launched for half a year, and there is no way to do everything."
"I'm paying more attention to this s1 World Finals. I hope that the official "League of Legends" can bring a different e-sports viewing experience!"
