If such a thing is put in 2020, it will definitely cause an uproar. I'm afraid Daqian will be sprayed as a dog and racial discrimination all over the world. In the end, it will be punished by the government. Boss Jia dared not do such a thing no matter how bold he was at that time.
But it was different in 1996. There were so many E-sports players, and the influence of the event itself was very few. It could not set off any waves or get a lot of media attention.
In fact, the two players who were forced to change their ID ran to the media to complain as soon as they returned home. The media did send two columns in the newspaper to report this matter, but it didn't cause any waves.
After all, if there is no power behind one thing, it is almost farting to get on the microblog hot search overnight.
Several years later, with the continuous increase of the scale of the e-sports industry, when someone mentioned this history again, the response was much more enthusiastic than at that time. Many people were discussing the forced change of ID.
But everything is meaningless, because now all large-scale E-sports events are basically run by Daqian, and Daqian naturally requires all the players below to take a Chinese ID no matter which competition they participate in
Not to mention the supreme stage of WCG, all require Chinese ID. when some people react later, it's too late.
The whole E-sports circle has been in operation for more than 20 years. Everyone is used to seeing that players all over the world use Chinese ID, and even proud to have a loud Chinese ID. at that time, it is impossible for you to change your ID back.
This is the power of capital. Some things seem difficult, but as long as capital wants to do them, there is nothing that cannot be done.
However, this incident gave the US government an excuse to attack Daqian and caused a lot of trouble to Daqian, but that's the story in the future. We'll talk about it later.
The next morning, Pei Le went to boss Jia early in the morning and asked him to sign a contract with boss Jia. Pei Le is responsible for establishing an E-sports club. He and Li Xiaofeng invest 50000 US dollars each, while boss Jia personally invests 400000 US dollars, with a total share capital of 500000 US dollars.
However, as the actual operators of the club, Pei le and Li Xiaofeng each own 20% of the shares of the club, while boss Jia owns 60% of the shares. Meanwhile, boss Jia does not participate in the specific operation, and Pei Le is responsible for the whole club.
"By the way, what's the name of your club?" boss Jia asked with a smile after the contract was signed.
"I'm going to make this club the most elite E-sports players in the world. It's the best club in the world, so I'm going to call it the world elite club," peile said hurriedly.
"That's not a good name!" boss Jia shook his head. "Clubs all over the world rarely use the beginning of the world. Although it looks atmospheric, it's actually not grounded. It's better to change it!"
"What's that for?" Pei Le asked hurriedly.
"World elite, that is, the best meaning of the world. If the word Jia is not good, it might as well be changed into Jia. The world of the world can be preserved, then it will become the word Sega!"
"But the problem is, there is already a Sega game in the world. We can't take the same name as others, so I think you might as well turn the name upside down and change it to Jiashi. In the future, our club will be called Jiashi E-sports club. What do you think?" boss Jia asked with a smile.
"Jiashi! Good name, no problem, I like this name very much!" Pei Le said immediately. Are you kidding? Boss Jia got the name, can you still refuse?
Even if you don't like it, you have to pretend to be very happy.
Besides, the name Jiashi sounds really good, and it is much better than the world elite, which is also very tongue twister and ungrounded in the eyes of Chinese people.
So in 1996, Jiashi E-sports club, the world's first E-sports club, was born, which is also a thing recorded in history.
When boss Jia and peile finished talking about the club, the WCG on the fourth day had begun.
On this day, all the viewers who watched the live broadcast were surprised to find that the English ID on their contestants' heads had all become strange words like squares.
However, after experiencing the initial surprise, the audience said it didn't matter. No one would care about the ID of a virtual character, but the TV hosts who participated in the broadcast were in pain.
CCTV gave them a comparison table of Chinese characters and English phonetics composed of three A4 sheets of paper. Before explaining the competition, they have to be familiar with the pronunciation of those Chinese character IDS according to this comparison table, and they also need to know the meaning behind the Chinese character ID. they are the hardest people.
But fortunately, those who can become hosts are not fools, and their IQ is still outstanding. They don't learn very slowly. Moreover, some hosts also like this change very much, because after changing the ID, they need to explain the meaning behind the Chinese ID to the audience, so there is a large string of water content, which is just too happy for the host.
The host is never afraid to say more, just afraid not to say, don't know what to say.
Let's get down to business. On the morning of the fourth day, the last two heroes in the eight events and the preliminary race of running kart finally began.
There's nothing to say about running a go kart. In racing games, those who run fast can win.
The hero invincible is a little more troublesome, because it is a flag game, so their game is a flag battle.
Before the competition, all players can obtain certain resource points, and then allocate the components of their army according to the resource points. From the lowest level 1 arms to the highest level 9 arms, they can use resource points in exchange. In this way, there are different lineups according to different players.
Each player has three minutes to choose the army lineup. After the selection, they can compete directly on the chessboard. Because it is a chess game, there must be a first hand and a second hand, and the first hand must have an advantage.
Therefore, the latter party will have 100 more resource points than the first party, which can be regarded as making both parties as fair as possible.
After three hours of competition, the preliminaries of the two games are over, but unfortunately, none of the players in the top eight of the two games is Chinese.
The last highlight of the fourth day is the final of the sword realm.
Fortunately, among the top eight in the sword realm, there is a Chinese player and the only Chinese player whose ID is called child.
His ID is called child because he is really a child. He is only 7 years old this year. He was born in 1989.
It is said that this child named Xiaozi first came into contact with arcade games, that is, street bullies, last year, and then got out of control. With his amazing talent, he successfully became the king of the whole demon capital area.
Later, when he heard about WCG, he was determined to sign up. His parents were surprisingly open. They actually agreed that their 7-year-old child would participate in the competition, but only on the condition that his father should accompany him all the way.
But WCG doesn't have the street bully project. The only fighting game is the sword God domain, so children can only play the sword God domain instead.
Because there is only 4 months between the announcement of joining WCG and the official opening of WCG, children only play the sword domain for 4 months at most.
But even so, the child also made a record of juechen in the preliminary competition of demon capital, defeated countless players over the age of teenagers, became the champion of demon capital, and successfully obtained the qualification of WCG.
At the same time, it has also become the youngest of all the contestants, but it is also the second contestant in China who is expected to win the gold medal.
