Chapter 356 - Preparations for the world Finals

The preparations for the S1 World Finals of League of Legends were already in full swing.

Chen Mo inspected a few companies for the S1 World Championship and finally decided on the organizer: Yan Huang information Technology Co., Ltd.

This company used to be a relatively large studio in the country, but later they changed to doing e-sports Live broadcasts. At present, they had hired a large number of anchors, producers, and event-related staff. In terms of professionalism, it should be the best in the country.

There were a few other companies that wanted to be the host for the S1 World Championship of League of Legends, but Chen Mo was not satisfied with any of them, so he decided on blazing glory.

At present, Yan Huang had offices in Shanghai and Beijing. The relevant people in charge also attached great importance to it, so communication was very smooth.

As for the location of the S1 International League, Chen Mo picked out a few. In the end, he decided on the 10th floor of Shanghai’s Grand Plaza, a multi-purpose studio.

The main reason he chose this place was because Shanghai’s e-sports atmosphere was the best in the parallel world, and most of the e-sports clubs were here.

The venue was quite expensive, at 90000 a day. Chen Mo signed a long-term lease, planning to rent it for at least a year. Not only would this Stadium be used as the venue for the S1 World Championship, it would also be used as the venue for the S2 LPL Spring Season.

After deciding on the location, Chen Mo did some on-site research and met up with the person in charge of Yan Huang. He then provided Yan Huang with a complete renovation plan.

The entire venue was in China Red. Outside the Grand Plaza building, a huge poster of League of Legends was hung for publicity.

Inside the stadium, the first thing to be seen was the passageway to the stadium. On both sides of the passageway hung the flags of various teams, large portraits of the players, as well as the signature wall, voting wall, and so on.

There was also a special display wall inside the venue, which mainly contained figurines and accessories related to heroes for display. Currently, there were not many figurines on the official website of League of Legends. There were only about 20 of them, including garen, Catarina, Twisted Fate, and so on. These figurines were all displayed on the display wall.

In addition to the figurine, there were also some accessories, such as Teemo’s hat, garen’s big sword, and so on. There were also some self-made peripheral models made by fans. As long as they were high-level or original, they were also placed on the display wall and marked with the name of the creator.

There was also a wall, which Chen Mo planned to use to display the team uniforms of the professional teams. Of course, many pro teams currently didn’t have the regulations and didn’t have a team uniform yet, so they were still in the process of making one.

The layout of the stadium was similar to that of the LPL Spring Season. The audience was facing the stadium, and in the middle was a large screen used to show the main image of the game.

On the left and right sides of the huge screen were two rectangular screens, showing the players and champions of the two teams.

Below the large screen were the players ‘computers, and in front of each computer was a small screen used to display the players’ facial expressions.

Other than that, Chen Mo also set up a large holographic projector in the center of the venue. This holographic projection device was even bigger than the one in the experience store. It was 15 meters long and was right in front of the stage.

The front row audience could clearly see all the details of the game through the holographic projection equipment, which complemented the big screen in the center. The audience in the back row could only see a little blurrier, but they could still roughly make out the situation.

This holographic projection device was the largest model available at the moment, and it was quite expensive, more than 700000 Yuan. However, compared to the entire venue’s rent, it was just a drizzle.

In order to better showcase the effects of the holographic projector, Chen Mo even had the League of Legends project team add some extra features for the competition.

For example, after a hero was selected, the holographic projection would show the hero’s and the player’s holographic projections; After the lineup selection of both sides was completed, the hero lineup of both sides would be displayed in the form of holographic projection.

These functions had been tested many times on the holographic projection in the experience store to ensure the performance.

Apart from that, Chen Mo also provided Yan Huang with a detailed competition schedule, including the warm-up before the match, the B/P segment, the official match, the post-match interview, as well as some things to take note of and the rules of the match.

The rules were very detailed, so much so that the person in charge of blazing fire was a little dumbfounded.

Chen Zhao set the ticket date for September, a month in advance. Of course, the relevant information would definitely be released earlier.

Apart from that, Chen Mo had also used a separate server for the competition, which was equivalent to a local area network, to avoid the possibility of a “cable war” from his previous life.

In terms of teams, the teams invited to the European, American, and Korean servers had already been confirmed. They were all based on the strength, fame, and the combat power of the teams. Basically, all the more famous foreign clubs had been invited, and there were a total of 12 teams.

As for the domestic teams, it was more troublesome. Although one or two of the 10 teams in the country were strong, the other teams were still in a period of adjustment. Therefore, Chen Mo planned to have blazing fire organize another selection before the world Tournament to select the four teams that would make it to the world Tournament.

Of course, Chen Mo didn’t care about the selection this time. After all, fiery Emperor was a professional team that had organized small competitions like this many times. There wouldn’t be any problems.

……

On the other hand, outlast was also in development.

Although they had encountered some small setbacks, they were not technical problems that were difficult to solve. They just needed to Polish their performance. Therefore, the current development progress was still considered smooth.

Chen Mo set the release date for outlast on a Sunday, September 23rd. Of course, the various approval processes were all going well. Although there were some minor twists and turns, it was not a big deal.

Zhang Zhongxiang thought that although outlast was dangerous as a VR game, it could help promote the progress of VR performance, so it passed the review.

However, there was still some resistance within the game Committee. Zhang Zhongxiang and Qiao Hua also reminded Chen Mo to pay attention to the players ‘feedback after outlast was released. If the players were satisfied, then there would be no problem releasing a sequel. If there was a lot of boycotting, then this might be Chen Mo’s last horror game.

Chen Mo was well aware of the risks involved in outlast, but he was confident in the game.

He wanted to prove to everyone that even though horror games were a niche genre, they could still produce classics and give players a unique gaming experience.

Just like how many big cities and theme parks had haunted houses, horror games would also become a very important type of game, occupying a place in VR games.
