Almighty Game Designer Chapter 338: E-sports club
Emperor Capital, MG E-Sports Club.
"Mr. Chen, welcome."
A man with a slightly fat body and a little flat but in good spirits stretched out his hand to Chen Mo.
Manager of MG E-sports Club, Bai Shunhua.
"Excuse me." Chen Mo and Bai Shunhua shook hands.
"Hey, Mr. Chen is polite." Bai Shunhua said hurriedly, "Not to mention that you are a friend of Mr. Zhao, even without this relationship, you are also a distinguished guest of our club. After all, "League of Legends" is developing so well now , Our club will form a "League of Legends" branch in the future, and we have to have a good relationship with you."
"Come, please go inside."
Said Bai Shunhua, and brought Chen Mo into the club building.
Previously, Chen Mo only had a general understanding of the ecology of some Chinese domestic clubs in the parallel world, but he did not know much about the specific operation of the clubs.
This time I also asked Zhao Zihao for a while, and then asked about the phone number of the manager of the MG E-sports club. Chen Mo intends to examine the current status of the clubs in preparation for the promotion of "League of Legends" events in the future.
Fortunately, the MG E-Sports Club is in the Imperial Capital, so coming here is not too much trouble.
Before coming, Chen Mo also learned a little about the current situation of the domestic e-sports clubs in the parallel world online.
It can be summed up in one sentence: a good life, but very irregular.
This is mainly a chain reaction caused by the lack of rich game types.
At present, there are more than a dozen relatively large e-sports clubs in China, gathered in two places, the Imperial Capital and the Magic Capital, and the Magic Capital accounts for the majority.
However, there are also some e-sports clubs located in other first-tier cities.
MG should be able to rank in the top three in domestic e-sports clubs, and it is also the largest club in the Imperial Capital.
The full name of MG is that the boss behind it is also a rich second generation. Of course, most of the bosses of the world's e-sports clubs are rich and rich second generations. After all, the rich generations generally play traditional sports.
Speaking of the development status of these clubs, their economic situation is not bad. They are not pure money-burning gadgets. They can be self-financing and even earn some points, so they are developing fairly well.
But the biggest problem is that it is not formal.
In the final analysis, it is due to the problem of the game. There are only a few games in this world that can be used for competitive events: FPS, MMORPG, RTS. Without the pillar of MOBA games, it is difficult for the first few games to support a very Huge gaming industry.
FPS games in this world are also hot, but after all, they are mainly hot on the VR platform, and the number of players is naturally limited. But even so, FPS games are currently the main competitive games of major clubs.
The RTS game is also pretty good. At present, major clubs have established "Warcraft" divisions, and there are also some small-scale events. However, RTS also has a relatively small number of players and it is impossible to establish a long-term league. There are only a few sporadic cups in China, and each club generally only feeds 1 to 2 RTS game players.
As for MMORPG, this is what Chen Mo wants to complain about most. It stands to reason that MMORPG should not be considered a qualified e-sports project, because this kind of game requires a lot of money and time to create a top-level account. It is not so much playing e-sports, it is better to play krypton gold.
MMORPG is naturally unfair in terms of time, and it is difficult to guarantee the balance and enjoyment of this kind of game. Therefore, in Chen Mo's previous life, MMORPG did not have any influential games.
But there is a difference in the parallel world, that is, these e-sports clubs have some additional additional services: studios.
Because the embryonic forms of these e-sports clubs are game studios. As the oldest online game genre, MMORPG was once a dominant game. Those rich second-generations who set their sights on the game field, the first thing they thought of was to establish their own studio.
Foreign trading, power leveling, game channel promotion... Basically, the studio can intervene to get a share of the game.
These large-scale MMORPGs are also helpless for the existence of the studio. Although the studio will destroy the game ecology, it will also play a role in promoting and promoting the game.
What's more, it is unrealistic to kill the studio completely.
So, in a parallel world, large game companies have formed a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with these game studios. When designing MMORPG games, game companies will leave a little room for studios to play, and each studio There are also unspoken rules, that is, you can't use any scripts or plug-ins to harm the interests of the game company.
After all, it really tears up, the studio still can't do the game company.
The e-sports clubs that have grown up in this environment still have some remnants of studio characteristics, and have not been on the right track like Chen Mo's previous life.
Some MMORPG games, such as "The Oracle of the Moon God" and "Yi Zhan Three Kingdoms", have some rich GVG and PVP content. Like "Yi Zhan Three Kingdoms" is entirely the main national war mode, which also gives the major clubs some room to play.
Therefore, the clubs in the parallel world mainly use FPS, MMORPG and RTS as the main layout direction. IndoMTL.com is more competitive with RTS projects, while MMORPG projects are more profitable.
The building of the MG E-Sports Club is more stylish. It is a four-story building with a sense of technology and a sense of avant-garde and modern decoration.
On the outer wall of the building, there is the logo of the MG Esports Club: a nebula icon full of mystery, which is very textured.
Bai Shunhua took Chen Mo to tour the internal structure of the entire MG E-sports club and introduced them as they walked.
"This is the daily rest area for our players."
"This is the canteen for the contestants. We specially hired three rice cooks. Basically, the diet can be guaranteed."
"From here up is the players’ lounge. We are currently two players in a room, which is similar to a standard hotel room, but inside are some players’ personal belongings, and there is nothing to look at. No need to visit."
"The entire area in the past is a training room. You must swipe your card to enter, and irrelevant personnel are not allowed to enter, mainly because they are afraid of affecting the daily training of the players."
Bai Shunhua swiped her badge on the entrance guard at the entrance of the training area, and the glass door full of technology opened.
"Chen, please."
Bai Shunhua led Chen Mo into the training area.
The training is divided into many different compartments, each row has 7 positions, the seats are relatively loose, and the environment is also good.
Many players are training, and occasionally someone glanced at Bai Shunhua and Chen Mo, then turned their heads to continue playing the game.
Bai Shunhua said: “At present, we have 6 relatively large divisions. The FPS game here is the "Fire Assault" division and the "Wolf Soul" division. Together, there are 13 players. These two divisions The part is in the innermost part, and VR game cabin is usually used for training."
