Create a great era of e-sports

"Huh? Professional team? Club? No, what do you mean, so professional?" Wang Shicheng plucked his ears and couldn't believe what he heard: "I admit that the game scene is very big, no worse than any other football game, but in the end it is just It’s a game competition, why are you both a professional and a club? What on earth is this?"

"What? Isn't this thing so simple?"

Wang Shicheng was stunned.

In his opinion, e-sports sounded nice, but it was essentially an event held by a game. As a result, Zhang Zhaoyang suddenly gave him some professional terms, which made him confused and couldn't understand them at all.

"Haha, I just like to see you like this, a country bumpkin who has never seen the world." Zhang Zhaoyang laughed.

Wang Shicheng became angry, but he really didn't understand: "What on earth is it? Tell your brother quickly."

"Okay, okay, let's stop making trouble." Zhang Zhaoyang waved his hand and stopped smiling: "You are right to say that it is a game competition, but this competition is not as simple as you think."

"It is a professional and competitive event with many experts. Ordinary people are not qualified to be on stage. To outsiders, it looks like a bunch of people playing games. But in fact, there are many things in it, far beyond what outsiders imagine."

"You can think of it as an emerging professional competitive sport, not just a kid's play house."

"Professional? Competitive? Sports?" Wang Shicheng pointed to the stage: "Are you sure?"

"You're kidding!" Zhang Zhaoyang rolled his eyes: "Brother, don't blame me for saying you are ignorant. Take a good look at it. I will explain it to you when the time comes. You will understand after watching it!"

Half past two in the afternoon.

Players from both Emperor Star and CCM took the stage.

The exciting music sounds, the commentary comes on, the host takes the stage, and there are professional lights and equipment. The scene is exactly the same as watching athletes compete in the stadium.

Wang Shicheng's eyes were really opened this time.

He really didn't expect that the game competition would be held in such a formal manner, with professional commentary, advertising sponsorship, and so many details included.

Listening to the voice explaining the game in his ears and constantly analyzing the situation on the field, at this time, he finally understood what Zhang Zhaoyang meant.

The scene in front of me is indeed not an ordinary game competition, but a professional competitive sport that is comparable to any popular sport in the world today.

"come on! Come on!"

"come on! Come on!"

"come on! Come on!"

The cheers and shouts from the audience in the venue were so loud that Wang Shicheng was startled when the sound suddenly rang out.

Zhang Zhaoyang looked funny when he looked at him.

"Brother, hold on, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

The sound gradually died down. Wang Shicheng put down his hands covering his ears, opened his mouth wide, and exclaimed: "I was shocked. This...this...this is completely unexpected. I have lived for so many years. This is the first time I have seen something like this in a game competition." scale!”

"So, those are games, and this is e-sports!"

Zhang Zhaoyang laughed loudly: "Look, the red team is my team, let's watch them perform!"

"Thank you to Jingzhou Construction Engineering, Huajia Electronics, Moyu Live, Laogandy Chili Sauce, Polo Ceramics, Dasheng Mahogany Furniture, Meiyin Headphones, and Juxiangyuan Hotel for their strong sponsorship of this competition!"

The doll in the Haier Brothers read off a long list of sponsors.

On their commentary table, there are many samples provided by sponsors. If there are no samples, relevant posters are hung around the commentary table. The camera crew will specially take a close-up of many advertising posters before the game starts.

Among them, the four largest companies are Jingzhou Construction Engineering, Moyu Live, Laoganba, and Huajia. The other companies listed are not too high in price. Some of them were attracted by online publicity, and most of them are locals in Jingzhou. Mostly enterprises.

Only they know how influential e-sports competitions are and how high the exposure brought by advertising on them is.

Give me a little example.

Among the sponsors is a Sichuan restaurant that just opened in Jingzhou. The business was originally mediocre, but thanks to the exposure of the Emperor Star Cup, it instantly attracted many diners, including many foreign friends who came to watch the competition. It became popular and became famous in Jingzhou. At the same time, because the taste was really outstanding, the business showed a long-lasting momentum.

The owner of the store was overjoyed and said frankly that his investment was too little and the chance of exposure was too low. He would invest more next time if he had the opportunity.

".Thank you to all the above merchants who have strongly sponsored this competition."

"Welcome to all the viewers on site and in the live broadcast room, the game has reached the fourth game of the Emperor Star Cup knockout round, Emperor Star vs. CCM!"

"How do you say, Miller, who do you think will win this game?"

Commentator Miller looked through the information in his hand and analyzed: "Looking at the paper strength, Emperor Star is definitely stronger, but in the competition, it depends more on the teamwork of both sides, so I think it will be a 50-50 split!"

Wawa followed: "I have some data in my hand. It may be beyond the expectation of many people. The CCM team is actually the earliest team to appear in China. This time they also entered the competition after receiving direct invitation from the organizer. ”

"CCM's top lane PDD has won multiple MVPs in all competitions so far. The bottom lane AD player Zhou is also very good. The economic damage conversion ratio ranks third among all AD players in this Emperor Star Cup, second only to Xiao Xiao and Uzi.”

"So, don't think that CCM is bad. In fact, if Emperor Star can't focus, it may not be able to win this game!"

"Yes!" Miller nodded: "No weak team can reach the quarterfinals. I hope Emperor Star will not underestimate its opponents too much!"

The two analyzed the information of the two teams to the audience, using some professional statistics.

Those data are statistics made by Moyu Company's event organization department on the relatively famous players at present. They are available in every game. They are calculated based on the comprehensive statistics of the players' performance in each game.

But currently the data is only disseminated offline and is in the hands of commentators, referees and others.

After further improvement, all the data, such as kills, single kills, super gods, KDA, damage conversion, average CS per game, average economy per game and other data are collected, and then the game will be directly launched online like in the previous life. .

When a player is introduced, his five-star battle force chart and various data will be intuitively displayed in front of the audience.

In the live broadcast room of the Emperor Star Cup Fishing Platform.

The chaotic cheer barrages slid past one by one, almost covering the live broadcast, making it impossible to see clearly.

The upper right corner shows that the number of online viewers has stabilized at 600,000, and all of them are real popularity data. This does not even include the live broadcast rooms of each server's client. If all five major competition areas are added, the total number of viewers will remain stable. At 2 million!

Just this scene makes me extremely envious of the new live broadcast platforms that have recently emerged. They all rely on other game anchors or singing and dancing to support themselves. They are extremely jealous of Moyu Live Broadcast.

One platform monopolizes the most popular anchor of "Gods and Gods" on the Internet, and also monopolizes the live broadcast rights of all e-sports events. It is simply a monopoly, leaving only scraps.

to this end.

Mo Yu has received news from Jiang Qizhang that a platform is paying to poach the anchors of Moyu Live, but the price offered is not too high, and the other party does not have much traffic, so no anchors are interested yet.

However, this is not a long-term solution. Sooner or later, someone will poach you. The most fundamental thing is to rely on contracts and more money to retain people's hearts.

The preparations on stage are finally over.

Seeing that everything was ready, the players were all seated, and the referee had completed the final inspection.

The broadcaster's OK message was received in the commentary headset.

"alright!"

finally.

The camera that was looking for beauties in the audience stopped and looked at the stage. The contestants were not very relaxed when facing the camera. They simply waved their hands or showed a smile and continued to focus on the screen.

next moment.

The picture on the big screen turned and the game officially entered the BP stage!
