Not only Xu Xiaojun, Yao Bo, the heads of these game platforms are in doubt, many game designers are also wondering why before the League of Legends, never any esports game can achieve the current scale?
There has never been such a large-scale e-sports event before, so many people in the industry believe that e-sports competition is impossible to achieve the scale of traditional sports.
The most fundamental reason is the audience. The reason why traditional sports are hot is because there are many audiences, just like football. There are so many football fans in the world. Even if you don’t play football, many people like to watch football matches.
It is precisely because of such a broad mass base that football matches can be more and more popular. Whether it is the World Cup, the European Cup or the Olympic Games, even a football league in a certain country or region can make a large number of fans see their blood.
But the biggest problem with e-sports is that the e-sports competition can't be popularized is that it doesn't have enough audience base.
Although the situation in the parallel world is different from that of Chen Mo's past life, one thing is similar. Before the emergence of League of Legends, no game can achieve the popularity of League of Legends.
Most games have a life span of 1 to 2 years, and the history of football? At least a few hundred years.
The special nature of the game industry determines that most games will soon be replaced by new game projects. Is there a game like football that can be hot for hundreds of years? It is tantamount to idiots who say dreams.
In the parallel world, mobile phones, pcs, and vr platforms have all developed, but these three platforms also have their own flaws. Although there are many people playing mobile games, they are not competitive enough to guarantee the enjoyment of the game. Although there are some fps games in vr games that can guarantee the competitiveness, but the number of players is small, and the viewing is not so good, so it can not reach the rule. status.
For e-sports competition, although the higher the competitive, the higher the viewing, but the premise must be based on the players have played this game.
If the players haven’t played, then they don’t even understand what’s going on in the game, but how can they see it?
Therefore, "League of Legends" is a game for the event, its characteristics are very in line with the needs of e-sports competition.
The audience base is large, and the "League of Legends" game itself has a large group of players, and each player is a potential audience of the game.
God's perspective is very suitable for watching the game, most players can understand what is happening in the battlefield, but also suitable for commentary.
Highly competitive and enjoyable. Although League of Legends is a relatively simple game of moba, there are still many deep routines and eye-catching operations in the professional game, which is enough to distinguish the level between different teams.
The data obtained by the League of Legends s1 World Finals is a source of dissatisfaction for all channel vendors and designers, because there is a very broad prospect behind this heat.
But they can't help, even if they want to put other games on the skin of e-sports, it is difficult to achieve the "League of Legends" game.
Because from the current point of view, there is no such thing as a domestic or foreign game that can achieve this kind of "League of Legends".
In the end, Xu Xiaojun and Yao Bo gave an analysis report and analyzed the reasons why the League of Legends fever was so hot, but how to deal with it? No help.
Because "League of Legends" can create such an e-sports atmosphere depends entirely on the game itself, and with the dominance of "League of Legends" on the PC side, there is currently no PC game comparable.
What makes the emperor's entertainment and fantasy game platform have to admit is that this is a dead end, and the League of Legends World Finals is just the back of the game.
......
After the first round of the group stage, the teams ushered in a three-day rest period.
During this time, each team can freely move. Some foreign teams choose to play in the magical capital and experience the customs. Some teams are still working hard to prepare for the second round of the group stage.
In the e-sports competition, this kind of thing is very important.
Because no one can assert which tactics are the strongest before playing in the major divisions, especially the difference in level and style between the divisions. For example, Europe and the United States like the early stage of stability and development, such as the late group battle, this kind of play is no problem in the European and American competition area, but when playing with the Chinese and Korean teams, the other party will not give you a stable development time, the snowball will die directly in the early stage. It is.
Therefore, after the end of the first round of the group stage, many winning streak teams were overtaken because of slack, or some of the losing streaks took a new routine after the training volume to achieve the Jedi counterattack, which is very common. thing.
In the hotel, in addition to the training room for the major teams, Chen Mo also arranged a separate lounge for his own use.
Su Yuyu, their gang of people went out to play, after all, they have always been working in the Imperial City, and they have come to see the magical sights, such as the Oriental Pearl, the Bund and so on.
After all, they are not like these teams, they have no training tasks, they just come to play.
Chen Mo and Li Jingsi have been playing games in the lounge during this time.
Chen Mo has not played "League of Legends" for a while, although the segmentation has fallen, but the hidden points are still there, so Li Jingsi and the two people double-row, once again ravaged the king of the national service.
It’s basically impossible to keep winning now, because League of Legends is a game of five people. Chen Mo can’t guarantee that his teammates will always play normal, because the mentality or luck problem is normal. thing.
However, Chen Mo and Li Jingsi still maintained a high winning percentage.
After ending a month of 8-0-3, Chen Mo received a call from Sun Xiao.
Chen Mo picked up the phone: "Hey, what's wrong?"
Sun Xiao: "Chen Chen, this is the case. There are several club managers who have found me here and want to ask me for your contact information. They should want to take the next year's League of Legends professional league places."
"Tell them that the quota is gone, but the number of places in the first division is still there. Submit the relevant qualification certificate, they will be arranged to play the first division league." Chen Mo said.
Sun Xiao hesitated a moment: "Hey, but Mr. Chen, there are several clubs in the magic capital, the bosses have already found them in person, or do you want to see them and talk to them face to face?"
Chen Mo thought for a moment: "Alright."
Sun Xiao: "So, let me arrange a meal?"
"No, the dinner is no longer needed," Chen said. "You let them come directly. I am in the lounge now. There are several couches here, and the location should be enough."
"Yes." Sun Xiao said, "I will let them go directly."
