Almighty Video Game Designer Chapter 340

Chapter 340: Looking into the future

Bai shunhua brought Chen Zhao in and introduced him to each branch.

“RPG games are the divisions of moon G.o.d’s prophecy, Legend of the Sword, and heavenly justice Three Kingdoms. The players in this area are not fixed because these games are not purely compet.i.tive games. They usually do things like grinding for equipment and doing things like events.

“There’s also RTS games. We currently have Warcraft and Legion conquest. Warcraft is still okay, but Legion conquest isn’t as popular in the country anymore, so we’re thinking about closing this branch. ”

“This is the Warcraft training room. I’m sure you’ll be interested, Mr. Chen.”

Chen Zhao looked at it.

MG e-sports club seemed to be treating everyone equally, as they had allocated a training room of the same size to the Warcraft branch. However, this training room could fit 14 people, while there were only three players in Warcraft.

The entire training room seemed a little empty.

“Because Warcraft is focused on single player combat,” Bai shunhua explained.”We only need to find the star players with potential. It’s not like FPS games, where we have to form a five-man team.”

Chen Mo nodded in understanding.

Bai shunhua brought Chen Mo around to other places before finally returning to the guest room.

…

“That’s about it. Is there anything else you want to know, President Chen?” Bai shunhua asked.

Chen Mo nodded,”yes, I understand most of it.”

Bai shunhua took a cup of hot water from the water dispenser and handed it to Chen Mo,””President Chen, you said earlier that you wanted to talk about the development of e-sports. What do you want to talk about specifically?”

Chen Zhao thought for a moment, trying to figure out where to start.

“Manager Bai, does MG e-sports club have any plans to set up a division of League of Legends?”

Bai shunhua smiled.”Of course, President Chen. League of Legends is a very fair compet.i.tive game. It’s only been released for less than three months, but its popularity in China has already surpa.s.sed Warcraft. How could we miss out on such a crucial area?”

“We’re planning to unearth some potential stairway tree players by next month at the latest. They’re at least at the level of the king, so they can come to the base for a trial. As for the official formation of the team, it may be delayed a little. We can probably form a team in June and partic.i.p.ate in some small compet.i.tions. ”

Chen Mo nodded. I have an idea about the e-sports mode of League of Legends. 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, President Chen?”

“Manager Bai,” Chen Zhao said.”You can imagine this.”

“The 10 clubs in the country form 10 first-tier teams to establish a long-term League mechanism. The league has the spring and summer seasons. Each season will have the regular season and the playoffs. The playoffs will determine the champion. ”

“Three teams will be decided through the points of the spring and summer compet.i.tions. They will fight in the world Finals.”

“In a large Stadium, under the cheers of tens of thousands of spectators, two of the world’s top teams competed for the highest honor of the year, the World Championship trophy and millions of dollars in prize money.”

“All major live-streaming platforms and even traditional media will be broadcasting and following this e-sports event. When the time comes, tens of millions of viewers around the world will watch it.”

“Manager Bai, can you imagine what kind of scene this will be?”

Bai shunhua was stunned. Chen Zhao’s words had him dumbfounded.

Bai shunhua even had the illusion that she was a newbie who had just entered the workplace, and as soon as she joined, she met a boss who was very good at making chicken soup and making empty promises, and she was completely wrapped up in the prospect of the future.

However, Bai shunhua was the manager of the e-sports club, and she was very familiar with the local and foreign e-sports environment, so she quickly regained her composure.

He coughed twice and said,”President Chen, this is indeed a very beautiful picture. I also think that the e-sports industry is a rising industry. It is indeed possible that it will reach the height of traditional sports at some time in the future. However, judging from the current development of the domestic e-sports industry, I’m afraid that it will take more than a decade for the image that President Chen is looking forward to to to be achieved.”

“It’s not that the technology isn’t up to standard, but the main issue is the influence. At present, in the domestic gaming circle, Oh, or in the entire world’s gaming circle, there was no compet.i.tive game that was as popular as football and basketball. Mmorpgs have more players, but the compet.i.tion is not as good. ”

“The root of the problem is the number of players. If there aren’t enough players, there won’t be an audience. If that’s the case, organizing this compet.i.tion will be a complete loss. If we lose a few hundred million, I’m afraid that even with chief Chen’s status, he won’t be able to persist. ”

“Just like what President Chen said, the audience for the compet.i.tion is in the tens of millions. That means that the number of players for this game has to reach at least ‘hundreds of millions’. From the looks of it … This is too fantasizing.”

Chen Mo laughed. Indeed, with the current development of the e-sports industry in this world, it wasn’t hard to make them understand what he was talking about, but it was too hard to make them believe.

In Chen Mo’s previous life, no one was interested in the S1 World Championship of League of Legends, but there were already over 8 million viewers watching the S2 Championship on the Internet and TV, and the number skyrocketed to 32 million in S3.

Indeed, if someone told you in S1 that there would be 30 million people watching an e-sports compet.i.tion at the Staples Center in Los Angeles in two years, you would probably think that he was bragging.

Chen Zhao didn’t plan on explaining too much, so he just said,””Manager Bai, sometimes, we need to look further. League of Legends will develop faster and faster, and this day may come much earlier than we thought.”

“However, the first step is to set up a long-term mechanism in the country, which can’t be done without the support of the major clubs. After all, a league only has spectators. It’s impossible to have no players. I need the big clubs to set up a perfect talent selection, training, and trading system. I need the cooperation of manager Bai and the other managers. ”

“No problem, President Chen.” Bai shunhua nodded. In fact, MG Club has been working on this, but the game developers didn’t care about it and the clubs didn’t have a Unified Manager, so it was always in a chaotic state. If you’re willing to spend time on this, I’m sure the other clubs will be happy to cooperate with you. ”

Chen Mo nodded,”that’s good.” I’ll have to trouble manager Bai to tell the other club managers that the first ten teams for the league tournament have not been completely determined. It will depend on their performance to decide on which ten clubs to choose. ”

“Oh right, please tell them that this quota might seem like a free gift, but if they miss it, they will regret it for a long time.”
