It's not just Xu Xiaojun and Yao Bo who are wondering about the heads of game platforms, but many game designers are also wondering, why before "League of Legends", no e-sports game has ever been able to achieve the current scale?

There has never been such a large-scale esports event before, so many people in the industry believe that it is impossible to achieve the scale of traditional sports.

The most fundamental reason lies in the audience. The reason why traditional sports are so popular is because there are many spectators, just like football, there are so many football lovers all over the world, even if they don't play football, there are many people who love to watch football games.

It is precisely because of such a broad mass base that football competitions can become more and more popular, whether it is the World Cup, the European Cup or the Olympic Games, even if it is a football league in a certain country or region, it can make a large number of fans enthusiastic.

But unlike esports, the biggest problem with esports not being able to gain popularity is that it doesn't have a large audience base.

Although the situation in the parallel world is different from Chen Mo's previous life, one thing is similar, before the emergence of "League of Legends", no game could reach the popularity of "League of Legends".

Most games have a lifespan of 1~2 years, but what about the history of football? At least a few hundred years ago.

The special nature of the game industry determines that most games will soon be replaced by new game projects, and a game like football can be popular for hundreds of years? It's tantamount to a fool's dream.

In the parallel world, the three platforms of mobile phone, PC, and VR have developed, but all three platforms also have their own flaws. Although mobile games are played by many people, they are not competitive and cannot ensure the enjoyment of the event; Although there are some FPS games in VR games that can guarantee competitiveness, the number of players is small and the viewing is not very good, so it cannot reach the dominance.

For esports competitions, although the more competitive it is, the more enjoyable it is, but the premise of all this must be based on the fact that the players have played the game.

If players haven't played before, they don't even understand what's going on in the game, so how can they watch it with relish?

Therefore, League of Legends is a game made for events, and its various features are very suitable for the needs of esports competitions.

With a large audience base, League of Legends is a game with a huge player base in its own right, and every player is a potential viewer of the game.

God's perspective is great for spectators, most players can understand what's going on on the battlefield, and it's also good for commentary.

It has a high level of competitiveness and ornamentation. Although League of Legends is a relatively simple MOBA game, there are still many advanced routines and dazzling operations in the professional game, which are enough to distinguish the level between different teams.

The data obtained by the "League of Legends" S1 World Championship has made all channels and designers feel greedy, because behind this popularity lies a very broad prospect.

But they can't help it, and even if they want to put other games in the skin of esports, it's hard to match the popularity of League of Legends.

Because from the current point of view, there is simply no domestic or foreign game that can achieve this quality of "League of Legends".

In the end, Xu Xiaojun and Yao Bo gave an analysis report to analyze the reasons why the "League of Legends" finals are so hot, but how to deal with it? Helpless.

Because League of Legends' ability to create this esports atmosphere is entirely dependent on the game itself, and with the dominance of League of Legends on PC, there is simply no PC game that can match it.

What makes Imperial Dynasty Mutual Entertainment and Fantasy Game Platform have to admit is that this is an unsolvable dead end, and the World Finals of "League of Legends" is just the backhand of this game.

……

After the first round of the group stage, the teams ushered in a three-day break.

During this time, all teams can move freely, some foreign teams choose to play in the magic capital to experience the customs, and some teams still seize the time to practice hard to prepare for the second round of the group stage.

This kind of thing can be said to be very important in e-sports competitions.

Because no one can say for sure which tactics will be the strongest until they play each other, especially since there are differences in level and style between regions. For example, Europe and the United States like to develop steadily in the early stage and other team battles in the later stage, this style of play is no problem in the European and American divisions, but when playing with the Chinese and Korean teams, the opponent will not give you time to develop steadily at all, and the early stage will directly snowball to death.

Therefore, after the first round of the group stage, it is very common for many teams with winning streaks to be overtaken because of slackness, or some teams with losing streaks come up with new routines to achieve Jedi counterattack after increasing the amount of training.

In the hotel, in addition to the training room prepared for the major teams, Chen Mo also arranged a separate lounge for his own use.

Su Jinyu and his group have all gone out to play, after all, they have been working in the imperial capital all the time, and they finally have to see some famous attractions when they come to the magic capital, such as the Oriental Pearl, the Bund and so on.

After all, they are not like these teams, they don't have training tasks on them, they are purely here to play.

Chen Mo and Li Jingsi have been playing games in the lounge all this time.

Chen Mo hasn't played "League of Legends" for a while, although the segment has dropped, the hidden score is still there, so he and Li Jingsi are in a double row, and they once again wreak havoc on the king segment of the national uniform.

Now it is basically impossible to maintain a total victory, because "League of Legends" is originally a game of five people, and it is impossible for Chen Mo to guarantee that his teammates will always play at a normal level, because it is normal for mentality or luck to get into trouble.

However, Chen Mo and Li Jingsi still maintained a high winning rate.

After finishing an 8-0-3 moon, Chen Mo received a phone call, which was from Sun Xiao.

Chen Mo picked up the phone: "Hey, what's wrong?" ”

Sun Xiao: "Mr. Chen, that's the case. I was approached by a few club managers in Magic City and asked me for your contact information. They should be trying to get a spot in the League of Legends Pro League next year. ”

"Tell them that the places are gone, but the places in the First Division are still there. Submit the relevant qualifications, and they will be arranged to play in the first division. Chen Mo said.

Sun Xiao hesitated: "Uh, but Mr. Chen, there are several clubs in the magic capital, and the bosses have already found them in person, why don't you meet them and talk to them face to face?" ”

Chen Mo thought for a while: "It's okay." ”

Sun Xiao: "Then, I'll arrange a dinner?" ”

"No, there's no need for dinner." Chen Mo said, "You let a few of them come over directly, I'm in the lounge now." There are a couple of couches here, and the location should be sufficient. ”

"Okay." Sun Xiao said, "Then I'll let them go directly." ”
