Chapter 339 Looking to the future
Bai Shunhua took Chen Mo and walked in, and introduced him to Chen Mo every time he walked to a branch.
"RPG games are the branches of "Yujiu's Oracle", "Legend of the Sword" and "Yizhan Three Kingdoms". The personnel in this area are relatively unfixed, because this game is not a pure competitive game, and they usually do things such as brushing equipment and fighting activities."
"There are also rts games. We currently have two divisions: Warcraft and Legion Conquest. "Warcraft" is better, "Legion Conquest" is currently very low in China, so we are considering canceling this division."
"This is the training room of Warcraft. Mr. Chen should be more interested, right?"
Chen Mo looked at it.
mg e-sports club looks more equal, and has also assigned a training room of the same size to the Warcraft branch, but this training room is enough to sit 14 people, while there are only three Warcraft contestants.
The entire training room seemed a little empty.
Bai Shunhua explained: "Because Warcraft is mainly single-player competition, we only need to explore those potential star players. We don't have to form a five-player team like the FPS game."
Chen Mo nodded to express his understanding.
Bai Shunhua took Chen Mo around other places and finally returned to the reception room.
"That's all. Does Mr. Chen have anything else to know about?" Bai Shunhua asked.
Chen Mo nodded: "Well, I basically understand it."
Bai Shunhua picked up 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 specifically?"
Chen Mo thought for a moment and thought about where to start.
"Manager Bai, does mg e-sports club have any plans to form a "League of Legends" branch?"
Bai Shunhua smiled: "Of course there is, Mr. Chen, "League of Legends" is a very fair competitive game. It has only been less than three months since its popularity in China, and its popularity has reached "Warcraft" and even surpassed it. How could we ignore such a critical field?"
"We plan to explore some more potential ladder players next month at the latest, at least at the level of the king, and come to the base for trial training. As for the formal team formation, it may be a little delayed. A team will be formed in about June and participate in some small events."
Chen Mo nodded: "Well. I have an idea about the e-sports mode of the game "League of Legends". I hope that major clubs can form a long-term 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 domestic clubs have formed ten first-line teams to establish a long-term league mechanism. The league has spring and summer seasons, and there will be regular season and playoffs each season, and the championship will be decided in the playoffs."
"Third teams were determined through the points of the Spring and Summer seasons to compete in the World Finals."
“In the large stadium, amid the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators, the two world’s top teams compete for the year’s highest honor World Championship trophy and millions of dollars.”
"Major live broadcast platforms and even traditional media will broadcast and track the entire e-sports competition feast, and tens of millions of viewers around the world will watch it through 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 the illusion that he was a newcomer who had just entered the workplace. As soon as he joined the job, he met a boss who was very good at making chicken soup and drawing cakes. After looking forward to the prospects, he completely turned himself in.
However, after all, Bai Shunhua is the manager of an e-sports club and is very familiar with the domestic and foreign e-sports environment, so she quickly came back to her senses.
He coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Chen, this is indeed a very beautiful picture. I also think that the e-sports industry is a sunrise industry. It is indeed possible to reach the height of traditional sports at some time in the future. However, judging from the current development status 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 is not enough, but it's mainly a matter of influence. At present, the domestic gaming circle, or the entire world's gaming circle, there is no competitive game project that can be popular around the world like football and basketball. There are more players in mmorpg, but the competitiveness is much worse."
"After all, it's a matter of number of players. If there are not enough players, there will be no audience. Then holding this competition is a loss of money and gaining publicity. If you lose several hundred million at a time, you may not be able to hold on with Mr. Chen's value."
"As Mr. Chen said, the entire game must have tens of millions of viewers, which means that the number of players in this game must reach at least 'billion'. From the current point of view... this is too fantasy."
Chen Mo smiled. Indeed, with the current development status of the e-sports industry in this world, it is not difficult to let them understand what they are talking about, but it is too difficult to make them believe it.
In Chen Mo's previous life, the s1 World Finals of "League of Legends" was still unwilling. In the S2 Finals, more than 8 million viewers watched it through the Internet and TV. In S3, the number soared to 32 million.
Indeed, if someone told you during S1 that 30 million people would watch an e-sports competition held 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, but said: "Manager Bai, sometimes, our eyes should be long-term. The development speed of "League of Legends" will be faster and faster, and this day may come far earlier than we imagined."
"However, the first step is to establish a long-term mechanism in China, which cannot be separated from the support of major clubs. After all, a league with only audiences and no players is not possible. I need major clubs to establish a complete talent selection, cultivation and trading mechanism, which requires the cooperation of Manager Bai and other managers."
Bai Shunhua nodded: "No problem, Mr. Chen. Actually, this is what our mg club has been doing, but the previous game developers didn't care about these, and the major clubs did not have unified managers, so they have been in a relatively chaotic state. If you are willing to worry about this, I believe other clubs should be happy to cooperate with you."
Chen Mo nodded: "This is the best. Manager Bai told other club managers that the first ten teams in the league have not been completely determined. Which ten clubs to choose depends on their performance."
