Create a great era of e-sports

Regarding RTS games, Mo Yu has ideas.

Warcraft represents ancient times, Red Alert represents modern times, and StarCraft represents the future. Three periods and three games.

Mo Yu plans to leave all the development to Chen Rucheng and Xu Changming, and wait until the game is online before starting to form a professional league. As for the games of Empire and Invincible Heroes, they will also be responsible for them, but they will not form professional games, but will use them as entertainment modes to add The same goes for company revenue, including future civilizations.

The only ones that organized the competition were Warcraft, Red Alert, and StarCraft.

Warcraft and StarCraft have proven in previous lives that the game content and gameplay are very balanced and meet the requirements of becoming an e-sports project, while Red Alert is still a little bit behind.

But that’s another story.

The first step at present is to make World of Warcraft first, then make Red Alert, modify the balance of combat power of each country, so that it meets the standards of e-sports, and then develop StarCraft.

So now he told the two of them some key points about Warcraft, and they were obviously impressed.

Mo Yu said while eating: "Time is short. I am just giving you a rough outline now. For more specific content, I will come up with a design plan that will include all the things I just talked about, including some numerical balance, troop types, etc." The specific details such as restraining the relationship are the responsibility of the two of you. It is necessary to balance each other among the various races, and no one race is more powerful than the other races."

"After the development is completed and the remake is launched, it will be put on sale immediately. When the player base reaches a certain level, I will incorporate it into the company's existing e-sports system and form related professional competitions in the future."

"In addition, since Lava has been merged into Moyu, you two will come back to Jingzhou with me to work. I will arrange a place, recruit people, and start the remake of "Race Hegemony" immediately."

Of course the two of them had no objections.

Xu Changming didn’t quite understand what e-sports competitions were at first, but Chen Rucheng had been paying attention to them. He knew many news about the Jingzhou Cup clearly. He knew that e-sports competitions were one of the biggest strategies of Moyu Company, so he told his friends about them. clear.

Xu Changming agreed on the spot after hearing this.

The next day, Mo Yu returned to Jingzhou and arranged for Yang Qiu to prepare the office space of Lava Studio. At the same time, he began to recruit people. When Chen and Xu arrived, they started working immediately.

a week later.

The two of them packed up, rushed to Jingzhou, signed the employment contract, and officially joined Moyu.

In the conference room.

Mo Yu introduced the two people to senior executives from various departments of the company.

"Chen Rucheng and Xu Changming, starting from today, they will join the company and take charge of all the work of the company's Lava Studio. Everyone is welcome."

Everyone immediately applauded and introduced themselves to the two of them one by one.

Wait until after the meeting is over.

Yang Qiu led the two people to go through various departments again, introducing some work processes, company systems and other things, and then arranged for the two people to move into the office space specially prepared for Lava Studio on the twelfth floor of the building.

"This is Lava's office area!"

Under the leadership of Yang Qiu, the three of them arrived at the twelfth floor.

As soon as you get out of the elevator, what you see is a line of big characters.

Moyu Company - Lava Studio. Because there are currently no other vacant floors in Huamao Building close to the company, we chose the twelfth floor. "

The glass door on the side is also hung with a sign. The front desk, green plants, conference rooms, workstations, computers and other facilities are all arranged properly. Employees have already started working. The entire office space is spacious and bright, and the windows are bright and clean. It is far from comparable to the previous lava.

Chen Rucheng looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't help but lose consciousness.

The original lava scene seemed to emerge before our eyes, and was replaced by brand new lava in an instant.

He couldn't help but be filled with emotion.

"The company is really wealthy. If I had known that Mr. Mo valued me so much, there would have been no need to risk my life and death. I could have just agreed and wouldn't have to suffer the many grievances later on."

Xu Changming also sighed: "I didn't expect Mr. Mo to value me so much!"

Yang Qiu smiled beside him and said: "Mr. Mo has always been very generous to his subordinates. I believe you two will feel more deeply in the future. Let's not stand here now. Let's go in and take a look."

"good!"

The two agreed and followed Yang Qiu into the door.

Along the way, Yang Qiu introduced each office area to the two of them one by one, introduced their identities to the employees at work, and then walked directly to the general planning office at the end.

Push open the door.

This is a large office with an area of ​​several dozen square meters. The entire floor-to-ceiling windows can directly see the scenery of Jingzhou outside the window.

However, there is currently nothing else inside except a desk, sofa, bookshelf, and computer.

"Mr. Mo doesn't know your respective preferences, so I just prepared some necessary items. If you two need anything, you can apply to buy it by yourself." Yang Qiu introduced: "Lava is now full of waste, you two Once we move in, it will be your responsibility.”

"The company's human resources department is making every effort to recruit relevant professional talents, but the time is short and the recruitment has not yet been completed. Mr. Chen and Mr. Xu can also be recruited if they have familiar and trustworthy personnel."

"Except for the two rights of financial transactions of more than 30,000 yuan and the appointment and dismissal of personnel above the supervisor level, the other two can make their own decisions."

"I still have a lot of work to arrange, so I won't disturb you two."

Yang Qiu gave a brief introduction and left immediately.

The two looked at each other for a few times, then returned to their respective offices, tidied up briefly, and immediately went out to hold Lava's first meeting.

"How's it going? Have you made the arrangements?" Mo Yu was writing furiously.

He has to control many details of the planning plan of "Racial Hegemony". Although Chen Rucheng and Xu Changming understand the general framework, they are not familiar enough. Their current job is to refund and remove them from the shelves, and then recruit people first to enrich the manpower of various departments. , populate the organizational structure.

Wait until his planning plan comes out, and then discuss modifications around the plan. After it is confirmed, the remake work will start immediately.

What he is worried about now is whether to launch the map editor function.

There are three editions of Warcraft. The first edition was in 1995, and the second edition was in 1999. It was in this edition that the well-known fog of war appeared, and it was also this edition that established Blizzard's position in RTS games. .

However, domestic players are more familiar with Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos and The Frozen Throne.

It was also in this version of Warcraft that the map editor appeared.

With the help of the editor, graphics such as DOTA and 3C began to appear, and then many RPG and TD graphics appeared, further prospering the entire Warcraft player group.

At the same time, this version became one of the items in the e-sports competition at that time due to its super balance.

Now that "Race Conflict" is being remade, Mo Yu plans to directly copy the third edition, but he is worried that the emergence of the map editor will affect the emergence of DOTA in the future.

"Forget it, the new game has just been launched and it will definitely attract users. There is no need to consider retaining users for the time being. The gameplay in the early stage is enough to attract most players and can also meet the requirements of e-sports projects. I can release some construction battles first. Maps, and a few more simple RPG and tower defense maps, such as Guarding Athena and Green Circle, will be launched to retain players and be considered for the future.”

"Wait until it goes online for a while and sales growth slows down, then update the map editor's functions!"

"By then, I believe there will be another wave of sales growth!"

"In addition, although "Race Conflict" is sold as a stand-alone game, there is currently no platform under the company that can be connected online. It must be added to the online mode. As long as players open the Internet, they can create rooms and invite friends to play together."

Mo Yu recalled that a few years ago in his previous life, playing an RPG was absolutely essential. In the Internet cafe he opened at that time, people would gather with friends every day, playing in groups of three or four for several hours.

Thinking about it now, he couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"I really miss it~ It's a pity that I am so busy every day now, and the time is gone forever~"

Shaking his head to dispel the past memories, Mo Yu continued to immerse himself in writing plans.

It didn't take long.

Yang Qiu came up to report: "Mr. Mo, the arrangements have been made."

Mo Yu put down his pen and stood up to stretch his body: "It's good that you have settled down. Lava's next most important task is to remake "Racial Hegemony". This will not happen overnight. Just let the two of them be responsible."

"How is the contact with Kim Tae-ho?"

Not long after the Jingzhou Cup ended, Kim Tae-ho, who had been contacted before, finally called to renegotiate the Korean agency affairs of "Gods and Gods". However, the sovereignty of the e-sports event has not been reached. Kim Tae-ho refused to let go, and Mo Yu also Resolutely unwilling to sell out.

Yang Qiu shook his head: "The other party has been refusing to let go."

Mo Yu also had a headache when he heard this: "It seems that the grand scene of the Jingzhou Cup has also moved people over there. Otherwise, based on the current market performance of "Gods and Gods" and various data and revenue, Jin Taihao would not be disappointed. promise."

Yang Qiu replied: "That's true. In several online communications, I can clearly feel that the other party is very interested in agent distribution. At the same time, the other party has also talked about the Jingzhou Cup many times, hoping to hold events after being an agent, and even I am willing to spend more money for this, but I am not willing to give up the sovereignty of the competition.”

Mo Yu shook his head: "I must hold the sovereignty of the competition in my hands and will not give it away. After all, e-sports will develop around the world in the future, and it is impossible for South Korea to become independent."

He thought for a while and then said: "Let's take a step back and not interfere with the other party's domestic competitions. They can hold competitions freely, but we must have a veto power and the naming rights of the competition."

Yang Qiu didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Mo Yu explained: "They can organize the competition however they like, but the name of Moyu Esports must be in front of any event. At the same time, we must have the right to veto every event."

"However, I am willing to promise that this right will not be used lightly unless they go too far in certain events, violate the spirit of sportsmanship or affect the overall layout strategy of event promotion."

"At the same time, the agency price will be increased to 40 million per year. If we agree, we will sign a contract. If we don't agree, we will think of other ways!"

The subscriptions for the last few chapters have dropped a lot, so I’m worried~ Tell me what you don’t like about it! I’m so anxious every day!
