Almighty Game Designer Chapter 339: Looking forward to the future

Bai Shunhua led Chen Mo in, and introduced Chen Mo every time he walked to a branch.

"RPG games are part of "Moon God Oracle", "Legend of the Sword" and "Yi Zhan Three Kingdoms". The personnel in this area are not fixed, because this kind of game is not a purely competitive game. Will do things such as brushing equipment and playing activities."

"There are also RTS games. Currently we have two divisions, "Warcraft" and "Legion Conquest". "Warcraft" is better. "Legion Conquest" is currently very low in China, so We are considering canceling this branch."

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

Chen Mo took a look.

MG E-Sports Club seems to treat everyone equally. The Warcraft division also allocates a training room of the same size, but this training room is large enough to seat 14 people, but there are only three players in Warcraft. .

The entire training room looks a bit empty.

Bai Shunhua explained: "Because "Warcraft" is mainly single-player competition, we only need to tap the potential star players. You don't have to form a five-player team like FPS games. ."

Chen Mo nodded, expressing understanding.

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

"That's about it, does Mr. Chen have anything else to know?" Bai Shunhua asked.

Chen Mo nodded: "Well, I basically understand it."

Bai Shunhua took a cup of hot water from the drinking fountain 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 a bit, then thought about where to start.

"Manager Bai, does the MG E-sports club have any plans to form a "League of Legends" branch?"

Bai Shunhua smiled: "Of course, Mr. Chen. As a very fair competitive game, "League of Legends" has just been launched for less than three months, and the popularity in China has already reached the level of "Warcraft "Even surpassed. How could we ignore such a critical area?"

"We plan to explore some of the more potential ladder players at the latest next month, at least at the king's level, come to the base for a trial training. As for the official formation of the team, there may be a slight delay, about 6 You will be able to form a team and take part in some small tournaments."

Chen Mo nodded: "Well. About the e-sports mode of the game "League of Legends", I have an idea. I hope that the major clubs can form a long-term league together, just like traditional sports. "

Bai Shunhua was taken aback: "Long-term league? What do you mean by President Chen?"

Chen Mo said: "Manager Bai, you can imagine a picture like this."

"Ten domestic clubs have formed ten first-line teams to establish a long-term league mechanism. The league has spring and summer seasons. Each season will have regular season and playoffs, and the playoffs will be decided. Win the championship."

"Three teams will be determined through the points of the spring and summer games to compete in the world finals."

"In large stadiums, with the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators, two of the world's top teams compete for the highest honor of the year-the world championship trophy and the prize money of millions of dollars."

"All major live broadcast platforms and even traditional media will broadcast and follow up on this e-sports competition feast. By then, there will be tens of millions of viewers around the world watching it through the broadcast."

"Manager Bai, can you imagine what kind of picture this will look like?"

Bai Shunhua was stunned, Chen Mo's remarks made him a little bewildered.

Bai Shunhua even had an illusion, as if she was a newcomer who had just entered the job market. As soon as she entered the job, she met a boss who was very good at pouring chicken soup and drawing cakes. As soon as she looked forward to the future, she completely bypassed herself.

However, after all, Bai Shunhua is the manager of the e-sports club and has a good understanding of the domestic and foreign e-sports environment, so he quickly recovered.

He lightly coughed and said: "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 traditional sports at some time in the future. However, from the current situation of the development of the domestic e-sports industry, the picture that Mr. Chen is looking forward to will probably take more than ten years to reach."

"It’s not that the technology can’t be reached, it’s mainly the issue of influence. At present, the domestic game circle, oh, or the whole world’s game circle, does not have a competitive game that can swept the world like football or basketball. Project. MMORPG has more players, but the competition is much worse."

"In the final analysis, it is still a matter of the number of players. If there are not enough players, there will be no spectators. Then running this game is completely a loss for money. If you run a loss of several hundred million at a time, I am afraid that Mr. Chen will not be able to persist. Right."

"Like Mr. Chen said, the audience for the entire game will have to be tens of millions, which means that the number of players in this game must be at least '100 million'. From the current point of view...this is too illusory ."

Chen Mo smiled. Indeed, in terms of the current development of the e-sports industry in this world, it is not difficult for them to understand the concept they are talking about~IndoMTL.com~ but it is too difficult for them to believe.

In Chen Mo's previous life, the S1 World Finals of "League of Legends" were still uninterested. By the time of the S2 Finals, there were more than 8 million viewers watching through the Internet and TV, and by S3, this number has skyrocketed. To 32 million.

Indeed, if someone told you in S1 that 30 million people would watch an e-sports game at the Staples Arena in Los Angeles in two years, you would probably think he was bragging .

Chen Mo didn’t intend to explain too much. He just said: “Manager Bai, sometimes, we have to take a long-term view. The development of "League of Legends" will be faster and faster. This day may be much faster than us. I imagine it will come sooner."

"However, the first step is to establish a long-term mechanism in China, which is inseparable from the support of major clubs. After all, a league has only spectators, and no players are not enough. I need major clubs to establish a comprehensive The talent selection, cultivation, and transaction mechanism of the company requires the cooperation of Manager Bai and other managers."

Bai Shunhua nodded: "No problem, President Chen. In fact, this is what our MG club has been doing, but the previous game developers did not care about these, and the major clubs did not have a unified manager, so they have always It’s in a chaotic state. If you are willing to bother in this regard, I believe other clubs should also be happy to cooperate with you."

Chen Mo nodded: "This is the best way. Please tell Manager Bai to other club managers. The first ten teams in the league have not been fully determined. The specific ten clubs to choose depend on their performance. "

"By the way, please tell them, this place seems to be given away for nothing now, but if you miss it, you will regret it for a long time in the future."
