Chapter 338: E-sports Club (Three Watches)

Imperial Capital, MG Esports Club.

"Mr. Chen, welcome, welcome."

A slightly chubby, slightly bowed but in good spirits stretched out his hand to Chen Mo.

MG Esports Club Manager, Bai Shunhua.

"Lots of interruptions." Chen Mo shook hands with Bai Shunhua.

"Hey, Mr. Chen is polite." Bai Shunhua hurriedly said, "Not to mention that you are a friend of Mr. Zhao, even if you don't have this relationship, you are also a distinguished guest of our club." After all, "League of Legends" is developing so well now, and our club will have to have a good relationship with you when it forms a "League of Legends" branch in the future. ”

"Come, please."

Bai Shunhua said, taking Chen Mo into the club's building.

Previously, Chen Mo only had a general understanding of the ecology of some clubs in China in parallel worlds, but he didn't know much about the specific operation of the club.

This time, I also asked Zhao Zihao, and then I turned around and asked the manager of the MG E-sports Club. Chen Mo plans to inspect the current state of each club and prepare for the promotion of "League of Legends" events in the future.

Fortunately, the MG Esports Club is in the imperial capital, so it is not too much trouble to come over.

Before coming, Chen Mo also learned a little about the survival status of domestic e-sports clubs in the parallel world on the Internet.

It can be summed up in one sentence: living a good life, but it is very informal.

This is mainly a knock-on effect of the lack of genre.

At present, there are more than a dozen relatively large e-sports clubs in China, which are concentrated in the imperial capital and the magic capital, of which the magic capital accounts for the majority.

However, there are also some esports clubs located in other first-tier cities.

MG should be ranked in the top three among the domestic e-sports clubs, and it is also the largest club in the imperial capital.

The full name of MG is MysteriousGaming, and the boss behind it is also a rich second generation. Of course, most of the owners of e-sports clubs in this world are rich second generations, after all, the rich generation generally plays traditional sports.

Speaking of the development status of these clubs, their economic situation is okay, they are not pure money-burning things, they can be self-financing, and even make some money, so the development is not bad.

But the biggest problem is that it's not formal enough.

In the final analysis, it is because of the problem of games, there are only a few games that can be used as competitive events in this world: FPS, MMORPG, RTS, without the pillar of MOBA games, it is difficult for the first few games to support a very large e-sports industry.

FPS games in this world are also relatively hot, but after all, they are mainly hot on the VR platform, and the number of players is naturally limited. However, even so, FPS games are currently the main competitive game of major clubs.

RTS games are also not bad, and at present, major clubs have formed Warcraft divisions, and there are also some small-scale events. However, the number of RTS players is also relatively small, and it is impossible to establish a long-term league, and there are only some sporadic cup competitions in China, and each club generally only supports 1~2 RTS game players.

As for the MMORPG, this is the part that Chen Mo wants to complain about the most. It stands to reason that MMORPGs should not be considered qualified esports projects, because this kind of game requires a lot of money and time to build a top-level account, not so much playing e-sports, but playing kryptonite.

MMORPGs are naturally unequal in time, and the balance and enjoyment of this kind of game are difficult to guarantee, so in Chen Mo's previous life, MMORPGs did not have any influential competitions at all.

But there's one difference in the parallel world, and that's that these esports clubs all have some additional side business: studios.

Because the prototype of these esports clubs is a game studio. As the oldest type of online game, MMORPG used to be the dominant game, and the first thing that came to mind for the rich second generation who set their sights on the game field was to set up a studio of their own.

Gold mining, boosting, game channel promotion...... Basically, the studio can intervene and get a piece of the pie for things that have anything to do with the game.

And these large-scale MMORPGs are also helpless for the existence of the studio, although the studio will destroy the game ecology, but it will also play a role in promoting and promoting the game.

What's more, it would have been unrealistic to take out the studio entirely.

Therefore, in the parallel world, large game companies have formed a mutually beneficial and symbiotic relationship with these game studios, and game companies will leave a little room for the studio to play when designing MMORPG games, and each studio also has an unspoken rule, that is, you can't use all the resources to catch fish, and you can't use any scripts or plug-ins to damage the interests of the game company.

After all, if it's really torn, the studio still can't do it with the game company.

The e-sports clubs that grew up in this environment still have some remnants of studio characteristics, and they are not completely on the right track like Chen Mo's previous life.

Some MMORPG games, such as "Oracle of the Moon God" and "Three Kingdoms", have some rich GVG and PVP content in them. For example, "Three Kingdoms" is completely the main national war mode, which also gives major clubs some room to play.

Therefore, the clubs in the parallel world mainly take the three game types of FPS, MMORPG and RTS as the main layout direction, FPS and RTS projects are more competitive, while MMORPG projects are more profitable.

The building of the MG Esports Club is also relatively magnificent, this is a four-storey building, the decoration is full of technology, giving people a very avant-garde and modern feeling.

On the exterior wall of the building, there is the logo of the MG Esports Club: a nebula icon full of mystery, very textured.

Bai Shunhua took Chen Mo to visit the internal structure of the entire MG E-sports Club, and introduced it as he walked.

"This is our daily rest area for our players."

"This is the canteen for the players, and we have hired three cooking aunts, so basically the diet can be well guaranteed."

"From here up is the players' lounge, we are currently two players in one room, just like a hotel standard room, but it is full of some players' personal belongings, and there is nothing to see, so there is no need to visit this first."

"The entire area here used to be a training room, and you had to swipe your card to enter, and unrelated personnel were not allowed to enter, mainly for fear of affecting the daily training of the players."

Bai Shunhua swiped his badge on the access control at the entrance of the training area, and the glass door full of science and technology opened.

"Mr. Chen, please."

Bai Shunhua led Chen Mo into the training area.

The training area is divided into many different cubicles, with 7 positions in each row, and the seats are relatively relaxed and the environment is good.

There were many players who were training, and occasionally someone glanced at Bai Shunhua and Chen Mo before turning their heads and continuing to play the game.

Bai Shunhua introduced: "At present, we have 6 relatively large divisions, the FPS game side is the "Fire Assault" division, the "Wolf Soul" division, plus there are thirteen team members, these two divisions are in the innermost, and VR game cabins are usually used for training. ”
