Regarding the beverage cooperation, Hao Yun left it to Lin Jun to discuss.
Although I'm not particularly optimistic about his idea, I guess I won't lose much even if it fails. And if it succeeds, it will undoubtedly serve as a good example.
At that time, the mineral water the contestants drink, the clothes they wear, the mouse and keyboard they use, and even the chairs they sit on can all become excellent advertising spaces and be sold at a premium.
The next day, Yunmeng Games updated an announcement on its official website.
The first War Cry Cup will be held on July 6th. The competition rules are 1V1 duel, divided into two parts: online competition and offline competition.
The competition allows individual registration, as well as team account registration. The former allows independent players to participate, while the latter allows one main player and three substitutes to participate.
As for the registration criteria, it is also very simple. Any player with a ladder score of more than 2,000 points can register for the online Shanghai competition with real name, and receive five "battle orders" when registering. Every night between 6:00 and 2:00 in the morning. Participate in the game through a special matching entrance. Each time you lose a game, a battle order will be deducted, and if you win a game, you will get 100 points.
The top 64 players with the final score will be shortlisted and qualified to go to Jiangcheng to participate in the offline group stage.
Although registration is open to everyone and the process is quite simple, in fact players who can reach 2000 points are definitely in the top 5% of the entire server.
The proportion of the 64 finalists among all players is less than one ten thousandth. You can imagine how cruel the competition is.
As for the bonus, just as Yunmeng Games promised at the time, the champion will receive a reward of five million. As for the runner-up and third runner-up, the prize money will be much lower, only one million and five hundred thousand.
In order to prevent cheating, the top 500 games with the highest game points will be monitored by the official website. If any deliberate transfer of points is found, they will be listed as a key observation account.
If it is confirmed that there is an actor, the points of both parties will be frozen, and all recent game videos under their accounts will be publicized.
In addition, players who are confirmed to have cheated will be placed on the banned list and will not be allowed to participate in any officially organized events within three years. The punishment can be said to be quite strict.
After all, this is a five million bonus.
It's not just brave men who appear under the heavy reward, but also some crooked people.
At the same time, in terms of competition time, the qualifiers will last from June 15th to the end of the month. As for the group stage, it is scheduled to start on July 6th.
At this time, most schools are on vacation, which is an excellent time to hold competitions.
As for the follow-up competition plan, Hao Yun’s idea is to hold a major competition every summer, a small competition in winter, and some seasonal competitions in the other two quarters according to the situation.
After MOBA games are produced, the threshold for e-sports games will be further lowered, and it is foreseeable that the scale of the entire market will further expand.
But at this stage, one version of Warcraft is definitely enough.
…
With the game schedule confirmed, the enthusiasm of Warcraft players has almost reached its peak since the game was launched. There are more than 4 million players, and the daily activity has reached a terrifying 3.2 million.
This digital bonus is almost three-quarters of the total player base, and this is even after the game has been released for half a month.
Seeing this data, Lin Jun couldn't help but sigh, it would be great if this game was a mobile game.
More than three-quarters of players are active. If the same data is applied to mobile games, it will only be a matter of time before the monthly revenue exceeds 100 million.
But then again, if it were a mobile game, Warcraft might not be able to cause such a large-scale discussion on the Internet.
After all, in the despised chain of the Xia Kingdom gaming circle, stand-alone client games are ranked higher than mobile games. Moreover, with a sales volume of four million copies and a unit price of 100 yuan, a sales volume of 400 million can result in a net profit of at least 300 million, which is not much worse than some mobile games with millions of daily active users.
In addition, Hao Yun also discovered something interesting.
Among the more than three million daily active players, one-third of the players are playing in human-machine games and battles, and only one-quarter of the players are actually playing on official 1V1 maps to gain ladder points.
As for the remaining players, almost all of them are playing customized maps in the entertainment hall.
Among them, the three most popular maps were Guardian Athena, Human Race Invincible, and Chenghai 3C that Hao Yun uploaded using the vest "hao12345" at that time.
Especially Chenghai 3C.
For players who feel powerless in the hectic operation of RTS games but are interested in competitive competition, this 3C map is undoubtedly a better choice.
So far, the number of downloads of the Chenghai 3C map has reached 1.17 million, and it has become the map with the highest appearance rate besides the official game map.
The appearance rate of the official game map is due to the recent Battle Cry Cup, and many players who want to have a chance to be shortlisted are brushing up their ladder points. It is foreseeable that by the time the preliminary rounds of the Warcry Cup are over, if no map with a higher appearance rate appears, there will be almost no suspense that Chenghai 3C's appearance rate will reach the top of the entire server.
There are already many 3C maps in the creative workshop, and most of these maps have the word 3C added to the suffix.
For example, Three Kingdoms 3C, which is second only to Chenghai in popularity, there is also the anime-themed Super Smash Bros. 3C, and Ragnarok 3C with the Eastern and Western gods as the background.
Thanks to the map editor's powerful compatibility and rich material library, creators can better focus on the creation itself, and their imaginations can flow like a gush of spring water.
"This guy is simply a genius..." Li Zongzheng looked at the backend data of the creative workshop with a sigh of relief.
When the boss wanted to open the official map editor to players, he had some concerns, worried that the game would be ruined by players. Unexpectedly, not long after the game was launched, so many interesting derivative gameplays were born.
To be honest, he even thinks that these high-quality maps are more than enough to be used as independent games.
Because of the influence of the Magic Tower and the Immortal Cultivation Simulator, the Creative Workshop has gathered many players with big ideas and strong hands-on skills. After being exposed to World of Warcraft, this group of players immediately set their sights on this game with unlimited potential. game.
Fortunately, the boss insisted at the time and asked for Warcraft to be released exclusively in his own creative workshop.
If it were on other platforms, it might not be possible to produce so many excellent ideas.
"Yeah... It would be great if I could get in touch with the map creator," Liu Ye, who was standing aside, had the same emotional expression on his face. "With design capabilities, I feel it is more than enough to work directly in our company."
Li Zongzheng nodded and said.
"I have sent an email to that player, but they haven't gotten back to me yet."
"Wait a minute, I remember this hao12345... It seems to be the one with Ye Shen Solo?" Du Ziteng, who was standing aside, suddenly seemed to remember something and his glasses widened in surprise.
Li Zongzheng cast a doubtful look at him and asked.
"Ye Shen? You mean the Say Ye at Station B? What does it have to do with him?"
Although he has heard about celebrities in the gaming circle, Li Zongzheng usually does not watch live broadcasts, so when he heard Du Ziteng's statement, a confused expression appeared on his face.
Facing Mr. Li's confused gaze, Du Ziteng smiled bitterly and said.
"Don't you know? Last time, didn't we receive thousands of emails complaining about the way the three human militiamen attacked the house?"
Li Zongzheng nodded, the expression on his face becoming more and more confused.
"I know about this. I also discussed this issue with Mr. Hao... But what does this have to do with that person?"
"It's a big deal," Du Ziteng said, a trace of memory appeared on his face, "It was one night when Say Ye, who had won sixteen consecutive games, was live broadcasting, and then he met a passerby player who was playing the human race."
"At that time, the human race was still recognized as the weakest race on the server, and could only bully and bully the AI. However, less than three minutes after the game started, something happened that shocked millions of viewers. The passerby player directly sent three A militiaman went to Ye Shen's house and knocked on the construction site in front of him."
Li Zongzheng was stunned for a moment, and then an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
"Could it be..."
Du Ziteng nodded and said with an intriguing expression.
"The passerby player's ID is hao12345."
