Back in August, when Zhang Yong started intensive consultations with Huizhong on behalf of Alibaba, Fang zhe has turned his attention to the bird's nest representing the image of China's 2008 Olympic Games.
Here, the finals of dota2 international invitational tournament will be held soon.
Since the official beta of dota2 in February this year, a series of global events of dota2 have also officially opened. After six months of fierce competition, Ig team from China and Navi team from Ukraine have cut through thorns and thorns all the way to the finals.
Six months of competitions all over the world and expensive bonuses have made dota2 and E-sports popular all over the world.
In the past six months, the total number of registered users of dota2 in the world has exceeded 40 million, of which the number of registered users in China alone has exceeded 20 million. Therefore, many dota2 netizens joked that Chinese players have supported half of dota2.
Also because of the huge number of Chinese players, three of the top four in this competition were won by teams from China, among which LGD team and DK team from China won the third and fourth place respectively, and the third team was Ig team who broke into the finals.
Ig team is the team of the Chinese people, and the venue of the final is still the most famous bird's nest in China, which represents the prosperous age of China. Before the final began, it attracted much attention.
From Sina, Sohu, NetEase, Baidu, YAHOO, Google and other traditional Internet media, to new media such as micro-blog, WeChat official account, twitter, and then to 17173, video game bus, IGN and other game media, fighting fish, tiger tooth, YouTube and other emerging live platforms and many domestic and international game channels, as well as Dota2 game client and Steam platform, etc. Both plan to live broadcast the game in real time.
What makes many Chinese E-sports fans look forward to and excited is that just a few days before the final, CCTV-5 and China Central Sports Channel also announced and announced that the final will be broadcast live.
For a time, countless Chinese dota2 players and E-sports fans were very excited. If the dota2 finals can be held in the bird's nest representing China's image, it is not only a brilliant honor, but also the official acquiescence in the vigorous development of the domestic e-sports industry, then the live broadcast of the finals on CCTV-5 channel represents the official support for the e-sports industry.
More than half a month ago, the quadrennial Olympic Games ended in London. Today, August 24, the same day that the Yanjing Olympic Games ended four years ago, the bird's nest, at 20:00 tonight, the dota2 finals will decide the final champion here!
Starting in the afternoon, there were long queues waiting for admission outside the 12 entrances in all directions of the bird's nest. All admission tickets to watch the competition were sold out as early as two hours after the official sale.
Although most of the audience who came to watch the game were Chinese fans, there were not a few fan players from abroad and around the world. In particular, the prize of the champion of this competition was as high as US $10 million, which attracted the madness and attention of countless people all over the world.
A bonus of US $10 million is enough to rank among the top five in various top sports events in the world!
No wonder many people all over the world pay attention to this. In the past many years, games and E-sports have been regarded as a hobby and a child's gadget that can't go up to the hall of elegance.
Even the world E-sports competition WCG, which is called the Olympic Games in the e-sports industry, has been lonely to the point of almost no attention in recent years. Compared with the Olympic Games next door, which are concerned and participated by almost all countries around the world and held by many countries with the strength of the whole country, it is almost 18000 miles away!
Although the global game industry has been developing rapidly, the malaise of e-sports industry is an indisputable fact. In China and even the world, many older people regard professional players engaged in E-sports as not doing their jobs.
Therefore, many industry experts and professionals regard the successful holding of the dota2 International Invitational as the key to the recovery and prosperity of the global e-sports industry. At the same time, many ordinary people who do not know about the e-sports industry have a new understanding and impression of E-sports.
At 19:00 p.m., the whole bird's nest was brightly lit and full of people. With the introduction of four Chinese and foreign mixed hosts, Ukrainian female star Oja kerilanko, who represented Ukrainian players, and Chinese singer Jay Chou, who represented Chinese players, successively stepped on the stage to perform. The atmosphere in the whole bird's nest was instantly ignited.
After a song "yesterdayoncemore" and a song "nunchaku", the two protagonists of the final, five contestants from the Chinese Ig team and five contestants from the Ukrainian Navi team, stepped on the stage at the same time, and the atmosphere in the whole bird's nest reached the climax!
After half a year's competition, it has stood out from tens of thousands of participating teams around the world. Today, the name of everyone in both teams has become an idol worshipped by countless dota2 and E-sports fans.
"Ig come on, Chen Xiao come on!"
"YYF, come on!"
"Faith, I love you!"
....
There were many cheers and shouts from the audience in the stadium. Because it was a home battle in China, there were more spectators supporting Ig team than Navi team. Fortunately, the players of Navi team didn't understand Chinese, so they didn't have any pressure. They looked at the auditorium and camera with a smile.
In particular, one of them, EVA, who is beautiful and sexy, is also the only female player in the team. When she saw the camera close-up to her, she also specially made a charming kiss, which attracted the hearts and blood of all the male viewers watching the live broadcast. Many male viewers were howling and flirting whistles one after another.
"EVA, don't be afraid. You have a brother in China!"
"Beauty, even if you lose the game, you will win my heart!"
"I want to find a Ukrainian beauty to be my wife!"
"Beauty, let you feel the power of our Chinese men tonight!"
After the hot field activities, the time is gradually approaching 20 o'clock. All the contestants from both sides have taken their seats and adjusted their habitual mouse, keyboard and other equipment, one by one.
On the big screens on both sides of the field, the screen has been switched to the game competition interface of dota2. The ultimate final, which is concerned by dota2 fans and E-sports fans all over the world, is about to begin!
