Chapter 1199

After solving the matter of Fusang, boss Jia directly lost everything to Xia muqingzi. He hurried back to China because the second WCG was about to open.

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, a year has passed, and it's time for the opening of WCG.

The second WCG competition, starting from the qualifier, will be much more intense.

Different from last year, in the first WCG last year, except that Pokemon was serious, held the global Championship for a whole year and selected the contestants, the other competitions were all temporary qualifiers.

That is, a public invitation letter is sent in the newspaper, and then players all over the world who are interested in participating in the competition can go to the designated place to participate in the preliminary competition, and finally select several strongest players to participate in the main competition, which is probably such a process.

However, smart people can see that such a game is actually very unrepresentative.

First of all, there may be some expert players who, after seeing the competition invitation, can't go to other countries to participate in the unified qualifier because they don't have the money to pay the transportation expenses or don't have a visa at all.

Not to mention that many experts haven't seen the news at all.

Anyway, after the first WCG was held, many experts were indignant. They said on the Internet that I can go on, and I can win the championship.

In a word, such a game is a little one-sided, and it is impossible to screen out all the experts.

However, the 2nd WCG competition will be much more formal.

First of all, in addition to Pokemon, all the other 7 events in the 1st session have established their own global qualifier mechanism.

Some of them are Daqian games, which paid for themselves. They held circular competitions in 32 different cities in 12 countries around the world. Finally, according to the points and the ranking of some major international events, they decided to participate in WCG, which guaranteed the opportunity for most players in the world to participate in the competition.

If you don't go to a race that you can take a train, don't blame others for being unrepresentative.

Of course, countries like Africa don't have any qualifiers at all. After all, I'm afraid these countries don't even have a decent game console.

In these eight games, there are three games that don't even need Daqian to pay. Many organizations around the world rush to register and hold their own events. Daqian game only needs to be responsible for organizing an international competition.

The three games are red alert, Diablo and go kart.

The red alert is even more popular than the Pokemon League. Organizations in 14 countries around the world have taken the initiative to host national level events.

In addition, organizations from 28 countries have held city level events, and red alert finally established a separate game Association, which is the second game association with its own world nature after Pokemon.

Of course, these independent game associations are all subordinate branches of the world E-sports Federation, just because there are too many players and events to be managed separately.

In addition to the eight competitions of the first WCG, the second WCG also added four other competitions, namely StarCraft, anti terrorist elite, live football and top flying car.

Among them, StarCraft produced games in the second half of last year, while anti terrorist elite launched games in early 1997, all of which belong to Daqian games.

However, the live football and the best flying car are not. The live football belongs to the game of kolomey, and the best flying car is the game produced by American art power, that is, EA company. These are also the two biggest highlights of the second WCG. In the second WCG, there was a non thousand game competition for the first time.

Although the journey of these two games to join WCG was relatively rough, after E3 was held last year, kelemei and EA announced to help their two and three games establish professional E-sports competitions respectively, and then enter WCG.

However, kelemei had to cut another game because it cost a lot of money to hold the game, leaving only live football.

The EA is mainly because except for the best flying car, the other two professional competitions have very few spectators. Although the national level events were forcibly held, they were not reviewed and approved by the international E-sports Committee and finally gave up. There is only the best flying car.

As for the specific journey into WCG, it is also very long.

First of all, they registered games and events in the international E-sports Federation in July and August, and put forward the requirements to enter WCG.

After that, according to the regulations of the association, they must be in at least 10 countries in the world, including the three countries of the United States, Fusang and Huaxia, as well as one country in Europe and South America.

Establish a three-level ladder shaped competition pyramid starting from city level competition, rising to national level competition, and then international level competition, and there are also requirements for bonus, that is, the overall bonus shall not be less than 500000 US dollars.

The holding of these competitions alone cost the two game companies millions of dollars. Among them, kolomey gave up the event of soul duel because of its huge cost.

If you just spend money, the number of the most deadly audience, the association also has requirements for the number of audience, that is, after the whole series of competitions, the total number of audience should at least reach the standard of more than 1 million.

Taking EA as an example, they are not poor in money, but it is because the audience of crazy football and simulated city is only a mere less than 100000, which can not meet the requirements of the International Association and can only give up.

This sounds like a pit. At the beginning, kelemei and EA were also very unhappy with the international E-sports Federation and the controller Daqian game behind it.

But they soon found that it was extremely beneficial for the international E-sports Federation to do so.

At this time, E-sports is a new thing after all. Even by 2020, except for a few games such as lol and dota2, watch pioneer, which have established a perfect League mechanism, many other games will still be dead.

The reason is not that there are too few viewers and not enough commercial interests and values?

Such a standard set by the international E-sports committee is actually equivalent to helping them eliminate games with small audience and insufficient commercial value.

And can reach the standard game, without exception, are among the best.

For example, with the holding of the game, many real football fans have become the audience of the game.

Although the picture of the game is really simple, only in the game can we see the scene of famous stars from countries such as Yingguo, France, Germany, Brazil and so on gathering in a team to play football, and even the interesting picture of Bailey's tackle Bailey's ball.

The same is true of the best flying car. After all, the audience still like to watch all kinds of thrilling racing performances.

The direct income generated by the competition alone has all exceeded $500000. Although it is much worse than the cost of holding the competition, it can be regarded as income at least.

At the same time, the indirect income generated is large.

After the League was held, the sales volume of "live football" increased by 1 million copies in three months, making kelemei earn a profit of nearly $5 million and successfully making up for the cost of the game.

The sales volume of "best flying car" increased by 1.5 million copies, and EA earned more crazy.

However, what makes EA depressed is that the sales of FIFA international football plummeted by 500000 because of the hot sale of live football. Obviously, this wave of players were robbed by live football.

Therefore, it is said that EA has begun to prepare for the large-scale E-sports event of FIFA international football, and is ready to take back its lost players from live football.
