Chapter 339 Looking to the Future

Bai Shunhua took Chen Mo all the way inside, and introduced Chen Mo to each branch he went to.

"RPG games are the divisions of "Edict of the Moon God", "Legend of Swordsman" and "Yi Zhan of Three Kingdoms", and the personnel in this section are relatively unstable, because this kind of game is not a purely competitive game, and usually does some Things like brushing equipment and playing events."

"There are also RTS games. At present, we have two divisions, "Warcraft" and "Legion Conquest". "Warcraft" is better, and "Legion Conquest" is currently very popular in China, so we are considering it. Cancel this division."

"This is the training room for "Warcraft", should President Chen be more interested?"

Chen Mo looked at it.

The MG E-Sports Club seems to treat them equally, and has allocated a training room of the same size to the "Warcraft" division, but this training room is enough to seat 14 people, but there are only three "Warcraft" players.

The entire training room seemed a little empty.

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

Chen Mo nodded to show his understanding.

Bai Shunhua took Chen Mo to other places and finally returned to the reception room.

"That's about it, is there anything else President Chen wants to know?" Bai Shunhua asked.

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

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

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

"Manager Bai, does the MG E-sports club plan to form a "League of Legends" branch?"

Bai Shunhua smiled: "Of course, Mr. Chen, "League of Legends", as a very fair competitive game, has just been launched for less than three months, and its popularity in China is already close to that of "Warcraft" and even some Beyond that, how could we ignore such a critical area?"

"We plan to dig out some more potential ranked players at the latest next month, at least at the level of kings, and come to the base for trial training. As for the official team formation, it may be delayed a little bit, probably in June. Assembled a team and played some small events."

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

Bai Shunhua was stunned for a moment: "Long-term league? President Chen, what do you mean?"

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

"Ten domestic clubs have set up ten first-tier teams to establish a long-term league mechanism. The league has spring and summer splits, and each season will have regular seasons and playoffs, and the playoffs will determine the champion. "

"Three teams will be determined through the points of the spring and summer games to compete in the world finals."

"In a large stadium, with 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 millions of dollars in prize money."

"Major live broadcast platforms and even traditional media will conduct live broadcasts and follow-up reports on this feast of e-sports competitions, and there will be tens of millions of viewers around the world watching through the broadcast."

"Manager Bai, can you imagine what this will be 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 who had just entered the workplace. As soon as he joined the job, he met a boss who was very good at making chicken soup and painting cakes, and he completely surrounded himself with the prospect.

However, after all, Bai Shunhua is the manager of the e-sports club and has a very good understanding of the domestic and foreign e-sports environment.

So get back to your senses quickly.

He coughed lightly 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 may indeed 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, the picture that President Chen envisions will probably take more than ten years to achieve."

"It's not that the technology can't be reached, it's mainly a matter of influence. At present, the domestic game circle, oh, or the whole world's game circle, does not have a competitive game project that can swept the world like football and basketball. MMORPG There are more players, but the competitiveness is much worse.”

"In the final analysis, it's a matter of the number of players. If there are not enough players, there will be no spectators. If you hold this game, you will lose money and make a profit. If you lose hundreds of millions at a time, I am afraid that President Chen's worth will not be able to hold on."

"Like President Chen said, the audience for the entire game must be tens of millions, which means that the number of players in this game must at least reach the level of '100 million'. From the current point of view... this is too mysterious."

Chen Mo smiled. Indeed, given the current development of the e-sports industry in this world, it is not difficult for them to understand the concepts they are talking about, but it is too difficult for them to believe.

In Chen Mo's previous life, the "League of Legends" S1 World Finals was still unnoticed. By the time of the S2 finals, more than 8 million viewers watched it through the Internet and TV, and in S3, this number had skyrocketed to 32 million. .

Indeed, if someone told you at S1 that 30 million people would watch an esports game at Staples Arena in Los Angeles in two years, you would probably think he was bragging.

Chen Mo didn't intend to explain too much, but just said: "Manager Bai, sometimes, we have to take a long-term view. The development speed of "League of Legends" will be faster and faster, and this day may be far longer 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 can only have spectators and no players. I need major clubs to establish a perfect talent selection. , cultivation, trading mechanism, this requires the cooperation of Manager Bai and other managers."

Bai Shunhua nodded: "No problem, President Chen. In fact, this is what our MG club has been doing all the time, but the previous game developers didn't care about this, and the major clubs didn't have a unified manager, so they have been in a bit of confusion. I'm sure other clubs should be happy to work with you if you're willing to bother about it."

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

"By the way, please tell them that this place seems to be a free gift now, but if you miss it, you will regret it for a long time in the future."
