The winner of the WCG "Counter-Strike" competition is $5 million, and the "Red Alert" champion is $1 million.
So many bonuses are naturally aroused by gamers all over the world!
Many people have also discovered business opportunities, because WCG is held every year, which means that there are huge bonuses to get every year! In addition, there are some competitions also have a lot of money.
Various game clubs have flourished since then!
The term "professional gamer" is also starting to become familiar and accepted.
Glory Group built a hemisphere-shaped glass building in Los Angeles as the WCG competition venue. There are competition halls for multiple game projects, which can accommodate a total of about 30,000 spectators!
This building is called the "Hall of Glory", not only as a venue for competitions, but also the teams that have won the competition will be recorded in the Hall of Glory for the world to admire! !
Presumably, the "Hall of Glory" will be the most dreamed place for every professional player!
After the official start of the wcg competition, everyone who came here for the first time was amazed!
Technology, fashion, games, cosplay and other elements fill the entire place. In addition, the grand and atmospheric architectural design is even more tongue-in-cheek!
Each country has selected 3 of the strongest teams to compete for the top 3 of the top wcg!
This is not only about the glory of each game team, but also the glory of each country and nation. Therefore, this wcg competition is more touching and attracting more attention!
In this WCG competition, Li Zetian sent people to cooperate with TV stations from all over the world, and authorized them to broadcast the rights for free!
Don't look at it as a free license, others don't necessarily want it. The people sent by Li Zetian have to talk about it, and it took a lot of effort to reach a cooperation.
No way, this kind of large-scale game competition has never been held before, and the TV station is afraid of broadcasting the WCG competition and affecting their ratings.
In addition, Li Zetian still hopes to publicize the WCG competition through these TV stations, and vigorously promote e-sports, "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert"! In this way, it is actually advertising in disguise! !
Today's game industry is not yet mature. If it reaches the popularity of "League of Legends", TV stations still want to get free broadcast authorization? Oh, no way! !
At this time, almost all TV stations were shocked by the luxurious and spectacular scenes of this WCG competition!
"A game competition is held like a World Cup, it scares me!"
"Haha, this wcg competition is really amazing. Such a lively and sensational competition will surely cause a great sensation. This time our TV station has obtained the free TV broadcast rights, and it has made a lot of money!!!"
"Haha, our TV station also got the right to broadcast free TV!"
"It seems that the wcg competition is going to be popular! The Glory Group and the Flamingo Company have really invested their money, and not counting the value of this 'Hall of Glory' building, just holding this competition will probably cost hundreds of millions of dollars. ?!!"
The media from all over the world were astonished and surprised.
"The competition venue is an architectural classic. The hemispherical glass building is full of technology!"
"There are so many beauties in cosplay games, and many game companies are taking this opportunity to promote new games here! I see, this is not like a game competition, but more like a game carnival held by the Flamingo Company! So many players, a sea of people , it's really lively!"
At exactly 8 o'clock in the evening, the "Counter-Strike" game competition begins.
In the first game, "BJ Team", one of China's three major teams, played against "Angel Team", one of the three American teams.
5v5.
The horn of battle has sounded!
Both teams enter a room each, and each room is equipped with soundproof glass to prevent interference from outside sounds!
In the auditorium, everyone can watch the player's every move through the glass.
After the game started, game fans from China and the United States began to cheer for their favorite teams!
"BJ team come on, kill the Angel team!"
"BJ team is invincible and invincible!!!"
"BJ team is invincible!"
There are quite a lot of people coming here from China, and there are also many international students and Chinese-Americans who are also cheering for the Chinese team.
However, this is the United States. There are naturally more Americans, and their voices are naturally louder on the field.
"Come on Angel Team!"
"The Angel team is the most powerful, kill the BJ team!"
…
When the game is in progress, the game screen can be seen on the large LCD screen. At the same time, there are two game commentators, one male and one female.
With the development of the game industry, game commentary will gradually become a legitimate and long-term profession, just like sports commentator.
However, because there is no publicity channel at present, the game commentary is useless.
As long as the Internet speed increases, netizens can watch videos online, and the game commentary will also become popular.
As for the "League of Legends" in the previous life, I don't know how many commentaries there are, and there are many people who are popular. They have become stars in the game industry, and they are worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions! Of course, this also has a lot to do with live broadcast software, and various live broadcast platforms have gathered a lot of popularity for them.
With the current technical level, it is impossible to live broadcast on mobile phones in a short period of time, but PC live broadcast software is possible.
Li Zetian sat in the VIP room watching the game, frowning slightly, "The technical level of the American Angels team is a little higher than that of the BJ team."
A middle-aged man standing behind Li Zetian, Yan Tiangong, CEO of Glory Group, said, "Indeed, the United States has a mature club management model, and the level of trained players is naturally higher. And China The clubs over there are still in the groping stage, and because of economic conditions, family and other factors, they cannot get the best training! On the Battle.net platform, the "Counter-Strike" players in Europe and the United States are generally higher than those in other countries. However, , the Chinese player base is relatively large, and many very talented players have emerged. If they are trained in the future, they will definitely achieve good results in wcg! This year's wcg "Counter-Strike" competition champion, I am more optimistic about the United States. The game team on the side."
"Then which country will the champion of "Red Alert" probably belong to?" Li Zetian asked.
The CEO of Honor Group replied: "There is a high probability that it will belong to South Korea. Korean players seem to be very talented in "Red Alert"!"
Li Zetian was stunned for a moment. In his previous life, South Korea was a big country in games, especially real-time strategy, such as "StarCraft", "Warcraft" and so on. South Korea has won the wcg championship for many times! "Red Alert" is also a real-time strategy game. It seems that South Korea really likes to play this type of game.
However, when it comes to playing real-time strategy games, Chinese players are not bad. A large number of game masters have emerged one after another, and they have also won the championship of "StarCraft" and "Warcraft" on wcg.
It's just embarrassing now that China's gaming teams are weaker than other countries' gaming teams whether it is "Counter-Strike" or "Red Alert".
Li Zetian pondered for a while, and said to Yan Tiangong of the Glory Group: "The Chinese team performed too badly. It is not only their face, but also the face of China and all Chinese people! In this way, the Glory Group will fund the establishment of a club and build its own game team!"
Yan Tiangong of Glory Group frowned and persuaded: "Mr. Li, I don't think this is inappropriate. Glory Group is the organizer of wcg. If we set up a team by ourselves, it will inevitably lead to gossip, saying that we are both judges and players. If it is unfair, it will seriously question the authority and fairness of wcg!"
Li Zetian nodded again and again after hearing this, "Mmmm, you're right! We can't lose the big because of the small, the wcg is the key! If the players question the authority of the wcg, the wcg will lose its meaning. At this time, other The game company will definitely take the opportunity to get down and start another game competition to replace wcg."
"Well, that's right!" Yan Tiangong of Glory Group nodded.
Li Zetian said: "Okay, the game team, we will not build it ourselves, but we can still support it in certain aspects."
Glory Group Yan Tiangong nodded and expressed his understanding. Glory Internet cafes are all over the world, especially in mainland China. help.
Li Zetian turned to look at the screen at this time.
It's only been a year, and the current professional gamers are really fucking perverted, and Li Zetian feels that he is no longer a match for these people.
He took a sip of water and was shocked.
Li Zetian thought to himself that he was still a little master in "StarCraft". When the game is released in the future, he will show these game gods his skills and tactics, especially tactics. In a wave, airborne golden beetles or hidden knives attacked farmers, and the Protoss secretly built forts at the opponent's house, hoho, blinded their eyes!
Not long after, the match between BJ team and Angel team was over. Sure enough, BJ team was defeated by Angel team.
The Chinese in the audience sighed.
"Hey, it's not that BJ's team can't do it, it's just that the Angel team is too strong! I heard that the champion seed of this year's wcg "Counter-Strike" is the Angel team!"
"Yeah, if you let the BJ team compete with teams from other countries, you will definitely win!"
"It's best to abuse the team of Little RB and Bangziguo, that's cool!"
"Haha, it's a must! On the Battle.net standings, there are not many masters from RB and Bangzi!"
"… "
Under the discussion of the crowd, the BJ team left the stage sadly.
In fact, Li Zetian did not come to watch the competition, but mainly to watch the grand occasion of the wcg held this time, whether it was hot or sensational, and the impact was not great!
It seems that this time wcg has all met Li Zetian's psychological expectations.
TV stations such as China's CCTV-3, British BBC, American ABC, Fox and other TV stations have carried out TV broadcasts on wcg, and the number of viewers around the world is increasing, exceeding 20 million.
Although it can't compare to the World Cup, wcg is the first global large-scale game competition, and it is the first national competition for hegemony. It is very good to have achieved such results now. Li Zetian was already satisfied.
It was too late, Li Zetian had to go home, so he only watched one game and left.
Back home, Yu Jingqiu and others were watching WCG live TV.
"You're back." Seeing Li Zetian coming back, Yu Jingqiu got up and stepped forward, took off his jacket for him, and then took out a pair of slippers.
Li Zetian nodded with a smile, and kissed her on the forehead, "Yeah!"
Yu Jingqiu smiled and said: "This wcg was held very successfully and very lively. From the TV view, the Hall of Glory was crowded with people, rubbing shoulders!"
Li Zetian said: "Hehe, if it's just a game, I'm afraid it won't be able to achieve this effect. After all, there are only two games "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert". So I added cosplay and made it into a game carnival. I specially invited some stars who like to play these two games to watch the game!"
Yu Jingqiu smiled and said, "You have so many ideas to make a boring game so interesting."
dull? ?
Li Zetian couldn't help but smile bitterly and was speechless.
Well, for those who don't like to play games, it's really boring, but for those who like to play games, it feels wonderful. Every excellent operation in the game will cause players to scream and shout! ! !
Li Zetian was sitting on the sofa in the hall, and the first round of the wcg competition just ended.
"Dad, I want to form a game team to play the game!" William suddenly looked at Li Zetian and said.
Li Zetian was stunned for a moment, touched his small head, and said, "You are still young, only 10 years old, what game are you playing!"
William stubbornly said: "No, I want to fight!!"
After speaking, he stuck up, holding Li Zetian's arm with both hands, and looking at his father with a pair of hopeful eyes.
"Playing games is to lose one's mind. Your main task now is to read and study, how can you play games?" Li Zetian said with a stern face.
William pouted and said, "Dad, it's okay for other people to say this, you're too embarrassed to say this? You are the one who owns the biggest game company in the world!"
"Yo, is it itchy?"
"It's not itchy!"
William stuck his tongue out at Li Zetian, got up immediately, hid behind Yu Jingqiu, and said pitifully, "Mom, look at my dad!"
"You child is naughty! I don't know how to learn from your sister!" Yu Jingqiu scolded with a smile.
"Sister was playing games in Dad's study, and she didn't let me play. She kicked me out!" William immediately reported, "Dad, dad, elder sister played games with your Battle.net account and lost a lot of games. Lost a lot of Battle.net points!"
"Damn!!!" Li Zetian heard the words, got angry, and immediately walked towards the study.
"You Ran, you little girl, hurry up and stop me!!!!"
When playing games, Li Zetian disdains cheating and brushing up his Battle.net points. Li Zetian shouted as he ran, his heart was dripping blood, I finally got the Battle.net points, this Nima was lost by this girl.
In the study room upstairs, Xiao Youran was startled when she heard her father's voice, and hurriedly quit the game and turned it off.
Immediately, he pretended to take out a book and read it there. When he saw Li Zetian coming in, he couldn't help but say, "Dad, what did you just say, they are really reading..."
