PS: I wanted to do more during the eleventh day, but my arm was bleeding again, which was too demoralizing.

Tomorrow should be better, try to resume the two shifts as early as possible.

After the game between the Nets and the Heat, Ji Guoyi ran to his live broadcast room and spent 20 minutes broadcasting a game of LOL.

Generally speaking, Ji Guoyi will basically not play a game of LOL for more than 20 minutes. Nearly one million viewers around the world once again witnessed Ji Guoyi being scolded by his teammates after giving N heads. Then Ji Guoyi inadvertently revealed the news that the prize pool of the first "LOL International Invitational Tournament" has exceeded 2.5 million US dollars!

This news has been met with a lot of skepticism in China, and the total prize money of the WCG is only $500,000 at present, and it is still that when there are many sponsors, all the competitions add up to this much prize money. Therefore, a single "League of Legends" with less than half a year of open beta can actually come up with a prize amount of 2.5 million US dollars, many veteran players and clubs feel unbelievable, and even foreign clubs can't believe this bonus amount.

But believe it or not, the "online qualifiers" in each country have already ended, and the winning teams participated in the "offline qualifiers" held in their home countries at the end of October, and the competition has also ended, and the winning teams have already held offline matches on all continents in early November, when 16 professional teams from five continents will be selected to participate in the first "LOL International".

Cat & Fox Games intends to hold this tournament as a World Cup in the gaming field, and if you want to participate in the final "LOL International", you will need to go through many tests. First of all, we must break through from the "online qualifiers" of various countries. Qualified to participate in the "offline qualifiers" in China. This is followed by the qualification for the "Continental Qualifiers" on all continents, and finally the "LOL International Invitational Tournament".

There will be some problems here, the "intercontinental qualifiers" quota owned by each country is different, the cat and fox game allocates the quota according to the ladder points of players from various countries, and now domestic players account for forty percent of LOL global players, and the ladder points are much higher than those of other countries, so China has more places to participate in the "intercontinental qualifiers". At the same time, Asian players account for half of the world's LOL players, and the ladder points are also higher than those of other continents. The last 16 teams participating in the "LOL International" will have more places than other continents.

If you want to participate in the "LOL International", you must get the highest possible ranking in the "Intercontinental Qualifiers", for example, in Asia, there will be 4 places to directly participate in the "LOL International" this year, and 4 names to participate in the wild card tournament.

This means that the top 4 teams in the Asian Qualifiers will qualify directly for the LOL International Tournament, while the 5th to 8th place teams will play a wild card match against teams from other continents.

For the first edition of The International LOL, there will be 10 teams from all continents that will go straight to the main event, and another 16 teams will have to compete in a wild card tournament in Los Angeles to determine the final 6 spots.

Regular players also have the opportunity to participate in this tournament. Just form a team in the game and try to increase the ladder points of the members. If you meet the conditions, you can participate in the "Online Qualifier" in the game region where the team is located. If the team is really strong enough, after passing the test, you can enter the "China Online Qualifier", followed by the "China Offline Qualifier", and finally the "Asian Qualifier".

Cat Fox Games is also worried that the conditions will be too wide, there will be too many teams participating in the competition, and in the end it will not be able to be organized, so the set ladder points are very demanding, and any ID card with a cheating record cannot participate in any competition. As a result, the teams that are finally eligible to participate in the regional qualifiers of their respective games are less than 1,000 in China.

Many teams have expressed their dissatisfaction with such high requirements, but there is no justification for these complaints. If you don't have enough points, your team is limited or you don't have enough time to play. There is no future for such a team to compete, and it is not even possible to enter the offline competition in China, so even if it is not interesting to participate in the competition, it is better to focus on entertainment, and it is not so easy to become a professional player.

In the upcoming "Asian Qualifiers", one-third of the 32 participating teams are South Korean teams, and the remaining one-third are Chinese teams, and 6 of the top 10 teams in the global team ladder are in these two countries, so the excitement of the Asian Qualifiers may not be lower than the final main event.

The current prize pool has reached $2.55 million, and the deadline for the accumulation of the prize pool is at the end of November.

As the prize pool continues to increase, the prize distribution plan is also constantly adjusted. According to the current prize distribution scheme, all participating teams will receive prize money, and the top eight teams will also receive a lot of prize money.

Champion 40%: $1.02 million.

Runner-up 15%: $382,000.

Third place 10%: $255,000.

7% of the third place: $178,500.

5th to 8th 4%: $10.2.

9th to 12th percent: $51,000.

13th to 16th percent: $25,500.

This is the amount of prize money that all participating teams can receive based on the current prize pool size. If it is compared with a game like the NBA, it is naturally a lot worse, but it can be said to be a precedent in e-sports competitions.

In the competition, the first team will earn $1 million, and the top eight teams will also earn at least $100,000, and the prize pool is still growing, and many media are speculating that the prize pool may eventually exceed $3 million in the last month.

Cat Fox Games doesn't worry about this right now, and their World of Tanks will be in closed beta in mid-November, and it's now being hyped up all over Asia.

This alternative PVP game, developed by the Belarusian company Wargaming, was won by the two brothers last year as an agent in China.

The two brothers later bought a 55% stake in the company as they did with RiotGames, and in fact they have now taken over the company, which likes to make airplanes, tanks, and warships. He is also responsible for operations across Asia.

"World of Tanks" is not as popular in China as crazy as lol. But the ability of this game to attract money is no worse than lol. In the future. The per capita consumption power of this game even ranked first in the world for a time, and if it is operated well, it will not earn less than lol.

Wargaming is a company worth a lot more than RiotGames, which was a small company on the verge of bankruptcy and could have done it easily. But the Belarusian game company has already made a name for itself in the industry, and although it is not a big company in the world, it has been running well, and the owner is a man with his own ideas. So it's much more difficult to acquire such a company.

It would have been difficult for them to buy the company two years later, and World of Tanks has become a world-class game production company after making a lot of money in China. Fortunately, World of Tanks has not yet become popular in China, and the two brothers have dragged the game without publicity, just to get this company in their hands and run it.

The founders of Wargaming were reluctant to sell the company entirely, but Catfox Games eventually received a 55% stake and became the majority shareholder of the company.

Cat & Fox Games is now Wargaming's majority shareholder, but it doesn't interfere too much in the company's operations. However, the future development direction of Wargaming is still in the hands of Cat Fox Games.

This game company will become a game company specializing in war-based PVP and military strategy. This makes the cat and fox game much easier to control.

Originally, Wargaming went in this direction, and the owner of this company is a loyal player of these two types of games, and they will also launch a type of game in the future, such as "World of Warships" and "World of Warplanes".

After acquiring Wargaming, Cat Fox Games will soon have the strength to develop a single-player game with a World War II theme. Next, the project of developing a triple-A shooter game with an anti-Japanese theme should also be put on the agenda.

In the past two years, Maohu Games has developed too rapidly, acquired many game studios, and has a lot of ongoing projects, and industry insiders believe that such an expansion is not a good thing.

Maofox Games started as a mobile game, and today it still monopolizes nearly half of the global market share. However, now that they have more and more competitors, the global mobile game market is becoming more and more popular, new studios are established every day, and there are more and more new works, and even companies like Blizzard have come in to intervene, and the market share of Maohu games will naturally continue to decrease.

However, in terms of profits, the "mobile game department" of Maohu Games is still proud of the crowd and has a lot of say within the company. Mobile games such as "Angry Birds", "Plants vs. Zombies", "Isaac's Combination", "Fruit Ninja", "Temple Run", "Tom Cat" and "Candy Crush Saga" under Cat and Fox Games account for 50% of the global mobile game revenue. In other words, half of the money was earned by the cat and fox game.

Although the mobile game of "Cat and Fox Games" has been declining in terms of market share, but the revenue has not decreased, on the contrary, with the big sales of "Candy Crush Saga", in 2010, the mobile game division of "Cat and Fox Games" is expected to have a net profit of more than 1.2 billion US dollars. And most of these profits were reinvested by Ji Guoqiu in new games, as well as the creation and merger of new studios.

"Cat Fox Games" has been poaching people from major game companies since last year, with companies such as G Fat and EA all the victims of "Cat Fox Games".

At the beginning of the 10th century, Cat Fox Games acquired a little-known HiddenPath Entertainment studio, and then poached some people from V Society to set up a new studio to secretly develop a shooting game.

V Club is very dissatisfied with this, but this kind of poaching behavior is not news in the industry, and Cat and Fox Games has not done anything to affect the rules of the game.

HiddenPath Entertainment, a small studio, was bought, and no one cared about it. However, G Fat cares a lot about people who leave his company, these people have either participated in the development of Half-Life, the road to survival, or are good at developing engines. Cat and fox games poached these people, what the purpose is no need to guess, G Fat thinks that those two animals must be in his engine.

"They're not going to develop Half-Life 3, are they?" G Fat thought so. Even I laughed myself. Then he silently put a bastard who mocked him in the forum for not counting 3 into a small black room.

It stands to reason. If you want to develop a next-generation engine, the role of a few people is limited, and this is not a decade ago, when a few people could develop a game engine.

But if these people are used in key places, they may really play a decisive role.

So after this happened, G Fat was suspicious all day long, and he almost couldn't help but develop "Half-Life 3". However, he still failed to learn this "3" in the end, and it seems that the stimulation was not big enough. However, G Fat hurriedly looked at his own employees. Don't let the fox or panda continue to poach people, and finally steal the Source2 engine they are developing, then G Fat will not be distressed.

G Fat guessed right, the two brothers really set their eyes on his "origin engine".

Cat and Fox Games want to develop 3A masterpieces,You must develop your own game engine,And this plan has been going on for a long time,Cat and Fox Games are not short of money,They are not only poaching people in the V Society,Including the DICE Game Studio that developed the "Frost Engine" and the Numerical Design Limited company that developed the "Gamebryo Engine" is also their goal,

Now this next-generation engine is named "Cat Fox". The development schedule has reached a critical stage, and the first game to be developed using the engine. It is a shooting competitive game copied from CSGO in advance, with the internal code name "Operation Open the Box".

At the beginning of the design, the "cat and fox engine" paid special attention to the flexibility of the engine, they did not plan to develop a variety of engines for different types of games, it was enough to have a really easy to use engine, Ji Guoqiu even asked this engine to be used cross-platform, it can develop PC games, console games, and mobile games.

The characteristic of the "Cat Fox Engine" is that it can meet the needs of various games and platforms with a little modification, and it will be a universal engine.

They poached people from V Society in order to improve the physical characteristics of the "Cat Fox Engine", and everyone knows that the physical effect of the "Origin Engine" is the top level in the industry. EA's "Frost Engine" is second to none in terms of destructive effects, and the flexibility of the "Gamebryo Engine" is the best choice for making huge sandbox games.

In addition to these three companies, Cat Fox Games has the most talents poached from the German company CRYTEK, and it can be said that this company is their biggest victim.

The strength of this German company is far inferior to V and EA, and to put it bluntly, it is easy to bully. So the cat and fox games poached a lot of people in this company, and the "cat and fox engine" also learned a lot of experience from the "island engine", especially in terms of picture effects, light and shadow systems, and textures, which are the same as the island engine, all of which have amazing water surface, vegetation effects and real-time dynamic lighting, plus the destruction system of the "frost engine", the physics system of the "origin engine", and the flexibility of the "Gamebryo engine".

Ji Guoqi is very strange, why does Dead Panda have to make such an engine, but considering the pit dad feelings made by various mobile game engines in China in his previous life, it seems that he can understand Ji Guoqiu's stubbornness at the moment, this guy has an indescribable obsession with making Chinese people's 3A masterpieces.

Ji Guoqiu does have an excessive attachment to the "game", and he is about to form a grudge, he can't wait to beat G fat to death, and then buy V Society, and then buy Blizzard, Ubisoft and everything else into his own bowl, Ji Guoqi feels that he is simply lacking in heart.

EA has been laying off employees in recent years, cutting studios one after another, and eventually many of them were taken over by Panda. There are many people out there who are laughing at him for being brain-dead, because many of the games don't seem to be profitable at all, and in the eyes of many, this company doesn't do business at all.

But Ji Guoqiu doesn't care so much, for example, most of the studios where EA developed the "Medal of Honor" were taken over by him, especially the people who developed the "Airborne Forces" a few years ago, and they were all brought over by him.

The "Medal of Honor" series was originally on par with the "Call of Duty" series, but with the advent of Call of Duty's fourth installment in Modern Warfare, the Medal of Honor series began to decline, and now it is on the verge of fighting on the back of the Call of Duty.

But in fact, the Airborne Forces of the Medal of Honor, the quality of this game is definitely no worse than Call of Duty, but it's a pity that there are too many games with the theme of World War II, and players are about to play and vomit, so many innovative concepts of this game are dragged down by the overall theme and have not received due rewards.

EA is now less and less of a thing, from the original conscience company, slowly becoming a cheating company that only recognizes money in its eyes, the game can't make money, they immediately disbanded most of the production team, and these people are now all taken over by Cat and Fox Games.

There are a lot of games that Maohu Games is developing now, and in terms of mobile games, they are making every effort to produce "Clan Wars" and "Plants vs. Zombies 2", but due to the lack of performance of the current mobile phone, these two games will not come out until 2011, and the next generation of mobile phones of Maohu Technology can run these two games perfectly.

In terms of stand-alone, "Zhu Xian", which was developed using the "Gamebryo Engine", which has developed The Elder Scrolls and Fallout 3, has reached 30% progress.

In this game, Ji Guoqiu plans to make it into a Chinese version of The Elder Scrolls, and it is completed in three parts, so the progress is much slower.

Ji Guoqiu will never sacrifice the overall quality of the game in order to catch up with the schedule. On the contrary, what he pursues is the quality of the game, which can be postponed if there is not enough time, and can be added if the development funds are not enough, but the quality of the game must not be insufficient.

Maofox Games specially selected about 200 people from various departments and studios to set up a new studio dedicated to the development of the "Zhuxian" series. (This number refers to the maximum number of people, it is impossible to develop a game with 200 people all the time, and most stages do not need so many people)

At this stage, the development cycle of the first part of "Zhu Xian" is as long as three years, and the investment has increased to 40 million US dollars, which is the largest investment in the industry. (To be continued......)
