Chapter 339: Looking to the Future (Four Changes)

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

"RPG games are the divisions of "Oracle of the Moon God", "Legend of Edgeworth" and "Three Kingdoms", and the personnel in this area are relatively unfixed, because this kind of game is not a pure competitive game, and it usually does things such as brushing equipment and playing activities."

"There's also RTS games, and at the moment we have two divisions, Warcraft and Legion Conquest. Warcraft is a bit better, and Legion Conquest is currently very low in popularity, so we're considering canceling this division. ”

"This is the training room of Warcraft, Mr. Chen should be more interested, right?"

Chen Mo looked at it.

MG Esports Club seems to be more indiscriminate, and has allocated a training room of the same size to the Warcraft division, but this training room is large enough for 14 people, compared to only three Warcraft players.

The whole training room seemed a little empty.

Bai Shunhua explained: "Because Warcraft is mainly based on solo competition, we only need to tap those potential star players, and we don't have to form a five-person team like FPS games. ”

Chen Mo nodded, indicating understanding.

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

"That's pretty much it, is there anything else Mr. Chen wants to know?" Bai Shunhua asked.

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

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 do you want to talk about?" ”

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

"Manager Bai, does MG Esports Club have any plans to set up a League of Legends branch?"

Bai Shunhua smiled: "Of course there is, Mr. Chen, "League of Legends", as a very fair competitive game, has only been launched for less than three months, and its popularity in China has already approached "Warcraft" and even surpassed it, how can we ignore such a critical area?" ”

"We plan to tap some more potential ladder players by next month at the latest, at least at the king level, and come to the base for a tryout. As for the official formation of the team, it may have to be delayed a little longer, and it will be possible to form a team and participate in some small events in June. ”

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

Bai Shunhua was stunned: "Long-term league? Mr. Chen, what do you mean? ”

Chen Mo said: "Manager Bai, you can imagine such a picture. ”

"Ten clubs in China have formed ten first-team teams to establish a long-term league mechanism. The league has a spring and summer season, and each season will have a regular season and a playoffs, with the playoffs determining the champion. ”

"The three teams will be determined by the points of the spring and summer tournaments and compete in the World Finals."

"In the big stadium, to the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators, two of the world's best teams competed for the highest honor of the year – the World Championship trophy and the multi-million dollar prize money."

"Major live broadcast platforms and even traditional media will broadcast and track the whole process of this e-sports feast, and tens of millions of viewers around the world will watch it through the broadcast."

"Manager Bai, can you imagine what this will look 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, and as soon as he joined the company, he met a boss who was very good at pouring chicken soup and painting cakes, and he completely surrounded himself as soon as he looked forward to the future.

However, after all, Bai Shunhua is the manager of the e-sports club and knows the e-sports environment at home and abroad very well, so he quickly came back to his senses.

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 is indeed possible to reach the height of traditional sports at some time in the future, but from the current development status of the domestic e-sports industry, the picture that Mr. Chen is looking forward to may 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 entire game circle in the world, there is no one like football, but the number of players is higher, but the competitiveness is much worse. ”

"It comes down to the number of players. If there are not enough players, there will be no audience, so holding this competition is completely losing money and making money, and losing hundreds of millions of dollars at a time, I'm afraid that Mr. Chen's worth will not be able to hold on. ”

"As Mr. Chen said, the audience of 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...... It's too mysterious. ”

Chen Mo smiled, indeed, with the development status of the e-sports industry in this world, it is not difficult for them to understand the concept they are talking about, but it is too difficult to make them believe.

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

Indeed, if someone told you in S1 that 30 million people would be watching an esports match at Staples Arena in Los Angeles in two years' time, you'd probably think he'd be bragging.

Chen Mo didn't intend to explain too much, but 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 come much earlier than we imagined." ”

"However, the first step is to establish a long-term mechanism in the country, which cannot be separated from the support of major clubs. After all, a league only has spectators, and it is not possible to have no players, so I need major clubs to establish a perfect talent selection, cultivation and trading mechanism, which requires the cooperation of Manager Bai and other managers. ”

Bai Shunhua nodded: "No problem, Mr. Chen." In fact, this is what our MG club has been doing, but the previous game developers didn't care about this, and the major clubs didn't have unified managers, so they have been in a state of chaos. If you're willing to bother with that, I'm sure other clubs will be happy to work with you as well. ”

Chen Mo nodded: "This is the best." Please tell the managers of other clubs that the first ten teams in the league have not yet been fully determined, and it depends on their performance which ten clubs to choose. ”

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