An Expert Is actually By My Side

Chapter 339 International Competition?

Just when Mr. Xu started to make two-handed preparations for the mission from a certain company in the group, the new expansion pack of Warcraft, the Frozen Throne, has been online for some time.

Just as Hao Yun expected, the newly added plot and settings have received rave reviews from the players!

In terms of plot, the new expansion piece Frozen Throne follows the end of the plot of the original game.

Illidan accepted the task of Kil'jaeden, led the Naga and the blood elves who declared their allegiance to him, and went to North Northrend to destroy the Frozen Throne.

At the same time, Prince Arthas, the dutiful son of Azeroth, has just expelled the three vampire kings of the Burning Legion, firmly grasped the control of the Burning Legion, and was crowned King of Arthas. How to slaughter the remaining humans in the capital of Lordaeron...

At this time, he suddenly heard a call from the Frozen Throne in his mind, ordering him to return to Northrend immediately to defend the Frozen Throne.

A battle is imminent!

The outcome of this war will determine who will become the master of Azeroth...

The price of the new expansion pack is only 39 yuan, compared to the expansion packs and dlc released by other games, it can be described as conscience.

Because this updated expansion not only broadens the gameplay of the game, but also comes with dozens of hours of battle plots and 20 minutes of high-quality CG animation.

As for how high the quality is, it can be described in one sentence.

Any captured frame can be used as a desktop, and my son can't tell that it was captured from the game's domestic animation.

Only one week after the expansion was released, sales exceeded five million.

Nearly three-quarters of Warcraft players chose to pay in the first week of the new expansion pack's launch.

At the same time, discussions about the Frozen Throne on major social media also spread like surging waves.

[The plot of Yunmeng game never disappoints me. After clearing the battle, I didn't expect Illidan to die. I don't know if there will be a chance to revive in the future. I'm heartbroken. 】

【Alsace has become the new Lich King, and Sylvanas has become the new owner of the continent of Nordaron, ahhh! I really want to know the plot behind it! Why is it gone? 】

[I don't know what to say except for one awesome sentence. 】

[There's nothing wrong with the plot, but isn't Alsace too strong? ? 】

【As we all know, Alsace is Mr. Hao's own son. (funny)】

[Hahahaha, you are too vicious! 】

What players love is not only the plot of the game, but also the newer gameplay.

Especially the newly added taverns and neutral hero units, which suddenly expanded the gameplay of the four major races by a whole dimension.

Although the starting heroes are still dominated by their own heroes, from the second start, many players are more inclined to choose tavern heroes.

Especially Beastmaster Rexxar.

This half-orc, half-ogre hero wields two powerful battleaxes and shreds his opponents with unsettling ferocity. The three skills are Summon Grizzly, Summon Porcupine, and Summon Warhawk, and the ultimate Magic This is to summon galloping lizards in a wide area, and each lizard will cause 60 points of damage when it hits the target.

Although the duel ability is not the strongest, Rexxar's powerful summoning can turn any duel situation into a gang fight.

With his powerful solo brush ability in the early stage and good output in team battles in the late stage, the hero's appearance rate soared to 80%, and he even became the starter sometimes.

So sometimes even if I don't want to play this hero, in order to prevent the opponent from getting it and causing tons of damage to my own army in the later stage, I will go to the tavern to point out this hero.

Although in Hao Yun's opinion, it is somewhat inexplicable that this hero has become so popular.

Because in his impression, the popular neutral heroes in War3 in the previous life were mainly pandaren with good AOE and duel abilities, and Naga, who had control skills and could cooperate with long-range units to play kites.

Although Rexxar's appearance rate is not low, he is definitely not T0 in the professional game. Even if the style of play with the summoning flow has a good popularity in the passerby game, it is definitely not so exaggerated.

Sure enough, even if it is the same game, players from two different worlds will have completely different ways of playing based on their own understanding of the game.

In the office on the top floor of Yunmeng Building, Li Zongzheng reported to Hao Yun the release of the Frozen Throne expansion since its launch in an excited tone.

"...The players are very satisfied with our new expansion pack! Not only the sales of the expansion pack, but also the sales of the original game have followed suit!"

Hao Yun said with a smile.

"Tell me directly, how long will it take for us to break through 10 million?"

Li Zongzheng smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Uh, breaking ten million is probably a bit difficult... Electronic games have only been in development for 10 years, and the upper limit of the market size is so high. So far, no client game with a sales value of more than one hundred yuan can break ten million."

"Really? Then let's be the first." Not caring about the so-called upper limit of market size, Hao Yun smiled and continued, "Speaking of which, how about our overseas version?"

Hearing Hao Yun's question about the overseas version, a bright smile appeared on Li Zongzheng's face.

"The sales volume is gratifying, and it can even be said to have far exceeded our expectations!"

"Oh?" Hao Yun raised his eyebrows with interest, and then asked, "How to say specifically?"

"The overseas version of Warcraft is directly integrated with the expansion pack of the Frozen Throne and released together with the original version. We originally thought that it would be good to have a sales volume of 500,000 in the first week, but we did not expect that the European region alone would reach 700,000 points. North America is as high as 1 million copies!"

The global pricing of Warcraft is the same, 100 yuan for the main body and 39 yuan for the expansion pack.

According to the purchasing power and exchange rates of different regions of the People's Federation, the cost of purchasing Warcraft for players from other countries is more than three times higher than that of players in Xiaguo.

However, even so, World of Warcraft still sold 2 million copies in other regions of Renlian except Xia.

This achievement can be described as unbelievable...

"By the way, there is one more thing I have to tell you."

Hao Yun asked.

"What's up?"

Li Zongzheng continued.

"The thing is like this. Recently, our colleagues in the operation department discovered that many Warcraft players in overseas communities have launched a joint petition, hoping that the official will treat players from other regions of the People's Federation equally and allow players from other countries to participate in the Battlecry Cup. race."

"It's a good thing," Hao Yun said with a smile, "Then our competitions will not be international competitions?"

"That's what I said, but the difficulty of holding international competitions is definitely different from that of domestic competitions. Among other things, we have to re-enact the rules of the competition. If we follow the current rules, I am afraid that other There are not many players in the region who can qualify for the offline competition."

The Battle Cry Cup has already been held in Xia Kingdom. Although the atmosphere of e-sports culture has not yet formed, many anchors have consciously developed in the direction of professional players.

In addition, some brand owners who focus on developing the consumption potential of young people have noticed the commercial value of the Battlecry Cup, and a lot of hot money has also poured into this field, starting to invest in some potential players and teams.

With Xiaguo's e-sports industry showing signs of commercialization, it is basically impossible for players from other regions to have any gaming experience even if they actually enter the arena.

Hao Yun pondered for a while, and suddenly had an idea in his mind.

"We can do this by dividing the players from each region into several divisions, and after deciding the champion of the division, we will select three individual players or teams from each division to participate in the finals of the Battlecry Cup."

Li Zongzheng said with a headache.

"It's a good idea...but it's quite difficult to hold competitions in various countries of the People's Federation at the same time."

Although this idea is good, Yunmeng Group is not a multinational company after all, and it doesn't even have offices in other countries.

However, Hao Yun was not worried at all, and continued with a smile.

"This competition doesn't necessarily have to be organized by ourselves."

Li Zongzheng's eyes lit up.

"You mean... let's delegate the game?"

"That's exactly what I mean," Hao Yun nodded. "Competitions in other regions can be organized by competent local companies."

"As the host, we only need to do three things."

"Formulate rules, review the qualifications of the contractors, and control the quality of the competition!"
