"Zou Tao, that's good. Pick two out of one."

Huanyu technology Game Department, Chen Yu smiled at Zou Tao and said.

The most profitable business of Huanyu technology is online games.

Input method, browser, 360 security guard... A series of businesses currently need online games.

Therefore, after calling Zhou Hongyi, Chen Yu came to the game department to see the situation.

"Mr. Chen, are you here?"

Hearing Chen Yu's voice, Zou Tao was a little embarrassed and took down the headset: "ha ha, I've fallen in love with dota recently."

yes.

you 're right.

After continuous development of Huanyu technology, dota was officially launched.

"What about dota now?"

"The performance is very good. There are many irons. However, the growth of registered users of DOTA is a little slow. However, as long as players enter the game, they can soon become loyal users."

"Yes."

Chen Yu nodded.

Dota is different from traditional online games. It is a little difficult to get started.

In the initial promotion, it will be slower.

But it doesn't matter.

Dota cannot be popular all over the world as soon as it is pushed out. He has a process of accumulation.

"However, there is a chance that our dota has been included in the WCG competition."

“wcg。”

WCG is the world E-sports competition.

Founded by Samsung in 2000, it is the largest video game culture festival in the world.

The initial events are Thor's hammer, FIFA, Empire age, StarCraft, half life, unreal arena.

In 2003, he joined Warcraft 3, halo and dota of Huanyu technology.

"WCG when will it start?"

"Next month."

"How are we doing?"

"At present, more than a dozen teams in China are holding a WCG qualification competition. The first two represent our country to South Korea to participate in the WCG finals."

"Are more than a dozen teams organized freely?"

"No, it's all professional teams."

Zou Tao said excitedly, "many companies in China are very interested in professional teams. They have invested some money and supported many teams. Moreover, from this situation, there will be more professional teams in the future, with a trend of surpassing bubble halls and running karts."

"This is a good phenomenon."

Chen Yu nodded.

In terms of competitiveness, dota is undoubtedly much better than bubble hall and go kart.

In addition, bubble hall and go kart are also competitive, but they are more leisure and entertainment.

However, dota has brought this competitiveness to a high level.

I believe that with the development of DOTA, his popularity will even exceed that of Warcraft in the future.

"Our 5173, the game section of the portal, reports more on these teams."

Chen Yufen said.

But after thinking about it, he said, "in addition to these, Zou Tao, you also set up more activities. After all, it's a professional team. If it's always a hobby, major companies just invest money and have no output, they will eventually quit."

Zou Tao also considered this piece and said, "the biggest problem now is the lack of exposure. It's not enough to rely on the exposure of the website alone. In addition, the profit model of the professional team has not been found. At present, it can only rely on fame and cooperation with some large Internet cafes, and the model is a little single."

"Have you considered cooperating with TV stations?"

"Yes, but the TV station is very hesitant."

Although E-sports is a kind of competition, it is still a game.

And it's a video game.

As the mainstream media, major TV stations are very cautious about games.

Even before the bubble hall competition, it is also a way of competition activities.

But if you are purely engaged in game programs, you will encounter a lot of trouble.

"It's normal to hesitate, but we can invite them to report this WCG game. By the way, where is their game?"

"In the deep city war alliance Internet cafe."

"Come on, show me."

"OK."

Zou Tao drove with Chen Yu to an Internet cafe called Zhanmeng Internet cafe in Shencheng.

Zhanmeng Internet cafe is the largest Internet cafe in Shenzhen, with more than 1000 computers.

Internet cafes not only provide customers with internet access, but also provide drinks, refreshments, snacks and other services.

Even, they have launched a beauty accompany service. For only 20 yuan per hour, they can invite a beauty to sit next to you, play games and chat with you... It is said that the service is very popular.

However, today, the most popular Internet cafes in the war league are not beautiful women playing with them, but dota games.

After a few days of competition, the current dota domestic competition will determine the top two in the country.

The winner will represent China in the WCG finals.

"Mr. Chen, this is IceFrog, the Chinese name is ice frog, one of the heads of our dota map."

As soon as he arrived at the venue, Zou Tao introduced him to Chen Yu.

This IceFrog used to be an American dota player.

At that time, after Huanyu technology released the new dota map, IceFrog put forward many opinions.

Zou Tao thought the player was very talented, so he invited IceFrog to China.

So far, IceFrog has become one of the main principals of DOTA map.

In this competition, IceFrog will present awards to the winners on behalf of Huanyu technology game department.

"Hello, IceFrog."

Chen Yu shook hands with IceFrog.

Chen Yu has admired IceFrog for a long time.

There are many settings in his dota map, which are inherited from IceFrog.

yes.

This IceFrog is the wind vane of DOTA in the previous life.

It can be said that without IceFrog, although there is no DOTA, without IceFrog, it can be said that dota can never be so popular as in previous lives.

But unexpectedly, IceFrog joined Huanyu technology.

"It looks very lively."

"At present, we team and GL team compete for the championship."

The online cafe of the war alliance has a large area, and dozens of square meters are specially vacated in the middle for the two teams to compete.

In addition, there are several projection screens in the whole Internet cafe.

At this time, there were countless crowds around.

They shouted for the team they supported.

"We will win."

"GL must win."

"Li Xiaofeng, come on."

"Li Xiaofeng is the most handsome."

Listening to the voice, Chen Yu saw a hero in the e-sports circle.

Li Xiaofeng.

The first person of E-sports in his previous life played dota.

In other words, didn't he play Warcraft?

However, this seems to be a good phenomenon.

Isn't dota more attractive than Warcraft?

A little change in history is acceptable.

"Li Xiaofeng is very famous in dota. Hundreds of thousands of people often download videos of his games."

Zou Tao introduced to Chen Yu: "many netizens often imitate the playing method of Li Xiaofeng. The heroes used by Li Xiaofeng are one of the most popular heroes in the current period."

"It's really powerful."

Staring at the big screen in front of him, Chen Yu kept nodding.

Although dota didn't come out for long, Li Xiaofeng's game talent is amazing.

This talent is not only reflected in Li Xiaofeng's amazing hand speed, but also in Li Xiaofeng's extraordinary calm.

Just like this game.

Obviously, the we team represented by Li Xiaofeng is at a disadvantage, but Li Xiaofeng is still not in any hurry. He continues to develop according to his habitual style, withstands the pressure of the other party, and finally completely controls the situation. Although the game is not over yet, it can basically be said that we team won.

If YY's live broadcast can be smoother now, Li Xiaofeng will definitely become an E-sports star.

However, Chen Yu is not in a hurry.

The Internet speed will continue to improve sooner or later. In a few years, live game broadcasting will become another highlight of the Internet industry.

At that time, a real professional league will also be formed.
