Create a great era of e-sports

Mo Yu has his own understanding of the competition system. What he wants to create is not the league system of LOL or the cup system of DOTA, but a combination of the two.

The DOTA competition system in the previous life was similar to that of tennis. It implemented a championship system, also called a cup system.

Corresponding to tennis, it is TI (Annual Finals) \u003e Major (Grand Slam) \u003e Minor (Masters) \u003e Third-party events (tours). Among them, TI is organized by V Club and is also the highest level event with tens of millions in prize money. , you can get bonuses just by participating.

The remaining Majors, Minors, and third parties are all authorized by V and held together with major organizers.

Among these events, TI attracts the most attention and has the largest prize money, followed by Major, Minor again, and even fewer tournaments.

The most prominent shortcoming of this system is that there is no way for vegetable B to survive!

In other words, teams with no results will never be able to enjoy high bonuses, and only a few veteran teams at the top of the pyramid can eat meat.

At the same time, the cup competition system also results in that only the largest cup competitions are worth watching, because their competitive level is much higher than other competitions, and the participants are all major established teams with stronger levels and better technology.

However, this competition system also has an advantage, that is, even an Internet cafe team, as long as it can keep winning through auditions, can advance from the lowest level competition to the highest level competition, and even win the championship in one fell swoop!

The best example is Wings, who advanced from an unknown team all the way, defeated countless masters, and won the TI championship in one fell swoop as the strongest dark horse, shocking the world!

It's just that this experience of Wings will never appear in the LOL competition system.

Because LOL implements a league system and there is no promotion and relegation system, unless you have money to buy an LPL seat, the miracle of Wings will never be replicated.

But LOL's league system also has its benefits, especially in terms of commercial value.

In LOL, each division has its own league to form an ecological closed loop. Foreign teams cannot break in at all. Only by spending a lot of money can they buy a league seat.

And the bosses have spent a lot of money, so they naturally have to recruit better players, coaches, analysts and other personnel to increase the team's strength, achieve better results, and get more benefits.

Under such a huge gold and dollar offensive, new players will continue to emerge, which will lead to the team's competitive level becoming stronger and stronger. The more powerful the technology, the more enjoyable the game will be. The more enjoyable it is, the more the audience will watch. The more people will enjoy watching, which will make the league more valuable. In the end, if the league is valuable, then the boss will be more willing to invest money.

In the end, everything formed a huge business alliance competition system, from which every link can get the benefits they want.

In order to protect the interests of the bosses, avoid the situation where the boss spends a lot of money, but the club is relegated in the end; at the same time, it also avoids the situation where major clubs would rather spend money to hire players with immediate fighting ability than train new players in order to avoid relegation, so the LPL has been promoted and demoted continuously. Hierarchies have been abolished.

So, without even promotion or relegation, how can a team like Wings survive?

It is not qualified to participate in the S competition at all!

Both competition systems have their own advantages. DOTA's system can produce dark horses, and anyone has a chance to shine and shine in the world; LOL's system can make money, which has huge benefits for players, clubs, owners, and organizers. benefit.

Mo Yu's idea is to integrate the two systems and do both cup and league competitions.

The competition licensing plan is only the first step. Through this, we will gradually establish a cup system and give everyone an additional opportunity to advance through the ABC three-level competition. In addition, a league system will be established in the future. In the end, the two will be integrated to make "God of God" In the future S games with God, you can see not only the teams that compete in the cup, but also the teams that compete in the league.

With cups and leagues, plus college leagues, overseas major competitions, and future star exhibition games, city leagues, Asian Games, Olympics and other competitions, e-sports will eventually become an ultimate behemoth, no less than any other sporting events.

Achieve the integration of universalization, stardom, and professionalism to create an almost perfect event system that can make money and provide opportunities.

"South Korea has started to hold new competitions and is making every effort to promote the emergence of professional teams. The country must also speed up the pace. The existing three professional teams are still too few. I hope that the three of them can bring me a good result. Bar!"

"If it doesn't work, then we can only put the plan out for bidding and see if anyone else is willing to participate!"

"It's just that you can't do that unless you have to. After all, those people don't understand e-sports. There are too many variables!"

Mo Yu sighed, hoping that Zhang Zhaoyang and the others would bring him good news.

A few days later.

Mo Yu was working when he received news from the front desk that Zhang Zhaoyang had come to the company, and he was instantly overjoyed.

He walked quickly to the front desk and saw Zhang Zhaoyang sitting there with his legs crossed, holding a cigarette, chatting and laughing with the girl at the front desk, making the beauty at the front desk laugh and lean back and forth.

When Mo Yu saw this, he called out from a distance, and then walked over quickly.

"Shaoyang!"

When the beautiful woman at the front desk saw him coming, she stopped laughing immediately and had a serious face, but her face was still flushed from laughing just now. A pair of eyes stared at Zhang Zhaoyang, wandering around, not knowing what he was thinking.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhaoyang first glared at Mo Yu, then looked at the beauty at the front desk and made a phone call gesture: "Please contact me when you have time!" He wrote a note and handed it over.

The front desk hurriedly put it away, gave a sweet "hmm", and then said hello to Mo Yu.

Mo Yu waved his hand and didn't care. Anyway, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. He was more concerned about Zhang Zhaoyang's purpose of coming here today.

"Why are you here? You didn't even call me to inform me, so you could prepare in advance!"

Zhang Zhaoyang put out his cigarette butt, stood up and said, "Why are you calling me? I'm here to give you a surprise. What surprises are there after I called you to inform you!"

"Oh?" Mo Yu's heart moved when he heard this, and he couldn't help but expect: "You also brought me a surprise?"

Zhang Zhaoyang laughed, then put his hands behind his back and walked in front.

"lead the way!"

Mo Yu felt very funny when he saw this, so he cooperated with him and walked forward and stretched out his hand to signal.

"please!"

Three minutes later, the two came to the office.

Mo Yu sat down and said, "Now we can finally bring out the surprise, right?"

Zhang Zhaoyang returned to normal after hearing this: "The surprise is that I have already thought about it and decided to host an A-level event!"

really!

After days of waiting, we finally got the good news!

Zhang Zhaoyang even directly chose to host the most advanced A-level event, which made Mo Yu extremely happy.

Mo Yu couldn't help stroking his hands and laughing: "It's really a surprise. I didn't expect that you actually want to host an A-level event. The A-level event costs at least 10 million. Have you really thought about it?"

"What's ten million?" Zhang Zhaoyang waved his hand and said disdainfully: "There are dozens of Internet cafes in the chain, so it's not a big deal to give out ten million. There has been no competition recently. Not only me, but Xiaobo and the others are also annoyed!"

Mo Yu said helplessly: "There is no way, there are too many things, and it was delayed for a while. Now that you have thought about it, I will ask someone to send you the contract later. After signing, you will have the formal authorization to host the event."

"However, the A-level event is no small matter. It has many related requirements. You should also know that the event prize money must be at least one million, and the scale must be large enough. So how to spend the ten million and how to play the game? Do you have any idea?"

Zhang Zhaoyang heard this and said: "Isn't it just a competition? Let's do it like the Jingzhou Cup."

Mo Yu smiled and said: "The Jingzhou Cup does not include Jay Chou's appearance fee. It cost more than 20 million to go back and forth. I'm afraid your 10 million is not enough!"

"So many?" Zhang Zhaoyang asked in surprise.

"The venue, manpower, prize money, opening ceremony, equipment, food, clothing, housing and transportation, not counting the ticket money I lost and the skin money given away in the lottery, these alone are 20 million, do you think!"

The scale of the Jingzhou Cup is comparable to that of the S Cup.

Just renting the central stadium cost him 1 million per day, and other stage layouts and audio equipment cost a lot of money, not to mention other various expenses. After a little calculation, 10 million was far from enough.

Mo Yu casually explained some of the expenses, and Zhang Zhaoyang knew that there were indeed quite a few.

"I didn't expect to spend so much money. I originally thought that 10 million would definitely be enough." Zhang Zhaoyang frowned and said: "I just made a simple plan based on the Jingzhou Cup. I roughly calculated that it will be fine. I didn't think too much about it. It’s a lot, but now it seems it’s really not enough.”

Seeing this, Mo Yu comforted: "The Jingzhou Cup is too big. A-level events don't need to be that big. Many things can be saved. It depends on how you choose, such as the venue, the performance team, the stage, and the players' food, clothing, housing and transportation. Wait, if you reduce the cost in various aspects and save a little, 10 million will be enough."

"That's what I said, but I originally planned to make waves, but now I have to come down." Zhang Zhaoyang said dejectedly: "It's uncomfortable!"

Mo Yusheng was afraid that he would regret it, so he said, "Let's do this. I'll give you some suggestions. I can't compare to the Jingzhou Cup, but it won't be too far behind. How about that?"

"That's good!" Zhang Zhaoyang said happily after hearing this: "I forgot, when it comes to running competitions, you are the professional!"

Mo Yu waved his hand and said: "I can't say I'm professional, I just have some experience from doing too much."

"First of all, I won't say much about the bonus, which is at least one million. It mainly covers expenses for venue, publicity, personnel, equipment, etc."

"The A-level competition requires 16 teams to participate, and the opponents are determined by random drawing, which means that it must be divided into at least five stages: preliminaries, groups, quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals, and five venues are required."

"You have dozens of powerful stores. It is enough to select a few of them as qualifier venues to accept registered teams from all over the country for competitions. Then there is the main store, which is very large and can accommodate one or two thousand people. This can be used as a group This way, we can save money on the venue for two rounds.”

"As for the rest, it shouldn't be difficult for your family to find real estate, and the finals will be held at the old stadium!"
