Chapter 1095: The Establishment of the ONG League
E-sports, although a fledgling sport in South Korea, has exploded across the country at an unimaginable rate.
This was the case in South Korea in the previous life, and South Korea was about the first country to support e-sports as a national-level sport, which also laid the foundation for the strength of Korean e-sports in the future.
In this era, South Korea's e-sports industry came even earlier, and of course it is the credit of our boss Jia.
In the 8 events of the 1st WCG, the Koreans unexpectedly took the championship of two events, which Boss Jia did not expect, and everyone in the whole of Korea did not expect.
Since ancient times, there has been a truth that the poorer the person, the more face the person has, and this is probably the case in South Korea.
Because of the small size of his country, and the country's sovereignty is not complete, he was beaten by his good brother, if it weren't for his father's strength, I'm afraid the country would be gone.
Therefore, South Koreans actually have a great inferiority complex in their hearts, and it is precisely because of this inferiority complex that Koreans want to save face in the international community. No matter what it is, we must use all kinds of shameless means to compete for it, so as to grow face in the international community.
Since the 90s, with the reform and opening up, Chinese people have seen more and more of the outside world, and then compared with their own world, they immediately poured out a sense of inferiority.
Therefore, for more than 10 years, the moon of foreign countries is round, what foreign countries say is right, and the quality of foreigners is high.
On the other hand, even if a foreigner raises an objection, even if there is a truth such as 1+1=2, it may be wrong, and if you don't do it, 1+1 is equal to 11.
But later, with the continuous development of China's economic level, Huaxia gradually came out of this humble mentality, and later in 2020, with the miraculous operation of a certain commander, the Chinese people unconsciously saw through the essence of the Chinese people, and understood that foreigners are actually the same as themselves, and they will be a little more stupid.
The Chinese people can come out so quickly, not only because of the economic development, otherwise the GDP of Koreans is higher now, and they have not been seen to get rid of inferiority.
The main reason why the Chinese people can really come out so quickly is that the Chinese people have always been very awesome, but they have been a little unlucky in the past 100 years.
But Koreans are different, they have been an accessory of China for a lifetime, and what they have in their bones is the mentality of a small country and a widow.
To get back to the point, in order to get rid of this inferiority complex and prove their self-esteem, Koreans especially value various international honors, especially those in various international competitions.
Don't you see, in the South Korea-Japan World Cup that year, South Korea's actions opened the eyes of many people.
Therefore, Koreans attach great importance to various world championships, and once a certain event wins the world championship, there will be overwhelming publicity and touting in the country, even if it is WCG.
To be honest, although the first WCG was decent, in fact, in the eyes of many people, it was a children's game after all, not to mention comparable to the top international sports events such as the Olympic Games, and I am afraid that even an international competition of an ordinary traditional sports event could not be compared.
But the Korean media obviously didn't think so, when the WCG was held, there were two or three Korean media who came to report on the game, and then they witnessed two Koreans lifting the trophy, and the excited people were broken, and the next day, a news report called "Lifting the glory of the world in China, we are the world champions" came out.
In this report, the WCG is the top event in the world, comparable to the Olympic Games, and how the Korean players overcame obstacles to win two gold medals and championships, becoming the top of the gold medal table.
As a result, this report, which was originally placed in a small magazine, swept the whole of South Korea at an unimaginable speed, and only a week later, all Koreans knew that the Korean nation of our cattle fork won two world championships, and it was also a champion comparable to the Olympic champions, and even more bullish forks also occupied the top position in the gold medal list, although there were three countries at the top of the gold medal list in the first session, all of which won two gold medals, then the Korean media obviously ignored the other two top countries.
And the most important thing is that his good father, a dignified Chinese man, actually didn't get a single gold medal.
Don't look at the Korean people, everyone calls the Mi people Dad, but the Koreans still have self-esteem, and for the Koreans, defeating the Mi people is an honor second only to defeating the Fuso people.
If it weren't for the fact that Fusang also won two championships this time, the Korean media would definitely have hyped up even more about beating the Fuso people.
As a result, the Korean people collectively climaxed, and the name of e-sports became popular in South Korea at an unimaginable speed, and even the games behind these two gold medals, "Diablo" and "Yu-Gi-Oh", quickly became popular in South Korea, and millions of games were sold in South Korea within a month.
In addition, many Korean companies have started to hold domestic competitions of "Diablo" and "Yu-Gi-Oh", but they are not registered with the International Esports Federation.
Because the scale of the competitions held by these Korean companies is too small, basically city-level competitions, and the International Esports Federation has just been created, and they don't have the extra energy to care about these things, so they are free.
But as the months passed, these small competitions were obviously no longer able to satisfy the proud Korean people, and soon, GJ, the largest entertainment company in South Korea, also set its sights on the emerging industry of e-sports, so a national-level e-sports competition was born in South Korea, and also "Diablo", "Yu-Gi-Oh", "Pokemon", "Red Alert" and the new "StarCraft" did not let go, all these games were brought together, and the league mode was also launched, which was called " OGN League"
Speaking of StarCraft, the game has only been on sale for about two months, and it has once again taken the world by storm, even stronger than last year's Diablo.
As if it was the fate of history, StarCraft set off the biggest storm in South Korea, and all Korean gamers became hooked on the game almost overnight, and StarCraft became the second country in the world to sell more than one million in addition to the United States.
It stands to reason that in such a high-quality market, Daqian Games should indeed be coaxed, even if people use your game to engage in competitions, it is actually to promote your game, and it really shouldn't fall out.
But Boss Jia doesn't care so much, Lao Tzu has announced the regular way to conduct competitions, but you turn a blind eye, isn't this a shame.
So a lawyer's letter appeared on the desk of GJ's newly formed electronic entertainment department the next day.
