Create a great era of e-sports

At this time, Lou Xing was wearing warm home clothes. He didn't look like a mayor at all, but looked like a good family man.

"Mayor Lou, happy new year."

Mo Yu placed the tea and wine in his hand on the table in the living room.

There are some chicken, duck and fish dishes on the table in the living room, which are very rich.

Tea and wine are just tea and wine, and the packaging is very simple, with a big plastic bag outside.

"You are still doing these things, and you are not afraid that I will kick you out?"

Lou Xing opened the bag and took a look.

Mo Yu smiled and said, "They are all ordinary gifts. Ordinary people would give them to you during the New Year, right?"

"You."

Lou Xing shook his head and laughed: "Don't take it next time, it will have a bad impact."

"good."

Mo Yu follows the good and follows the flow.

At this time, a middle-aged woman walked out of the kitchen, holding a spatula in her hand.

Mo Yu recognized this person immediately as Lou Xing's wife.

The couple also has a son, but I heard that he is studying abroad. Judging from the situation in the room, he seems to have not returned home this year. I don’t know why.

"Old Lou, who's here?" The middle-aged woman looked up, but she didn't recognize Mo Yu.

"Junior, you can cook while he and I go to the study to talk about something." Lou Xing waved his hand, turned to Mo Yu and said, "Let's go."

Mo Yu said hello to the woman, and then followed Lou Xing into the study.

The study room is simple, with a table and a chair, and a bookshelf next to it. There are many professional books on it, covering many industries.

Lou Xing is a former graduate student who originally worked in technology in a state-owned enterprise. Later he was promoted and made a fortune, and he gradually gained his current status.

Seeing Mo Yu looking at the bookshelf, Lou Xing smiled and said, "What books are there in your office?"

"Not as knowledgeable as you." Mo Yu said: "Most of the books I read are business and computer technology books, as well as some sports event development reports from various industries."

"Skills have specializations, and industries have specializations. If you start a company to make games, you will naturally need to read those books."

Lou Xing sat down casually, took out tea leaves from under the bookshelf, and slowly brewed tea.

"The party will go on for a while, let's take advantage of this time to chat first."

"Please."

Mo Yu sat up straight.

Among the people in Jingzhou official circles, he was the most familiar with Yan Kaixian. He had met Lou Xing, the mayor of the city, several times, but rarely communicated with him in private. He was very happy to have such a private and casual exchange. willing.

Lou Xing said in a casual tone: "This year's several games have been very big, and they can already be called a business card for Jingzhou to show to the outside world, especially internationally, and they have also been greatly publicized. Do you know what your plans are for next year?”

"On the whole, it's still the same as this year." Mo Yu said: "But there shouldn't be so many cup competitions. This year, because other divisions were established too late, most of the cup competitions are arranged domestically, but next year the situation will need to be adjusted. Taking into account the need to balance the overall level of each major competition area, some low-level cup competitions will be distributed to several other competition areas, and two A-level competitions will also be arranged overseas."

"Balance is very important." Lou Xing nodded: "Since we want to face the world, if our domestic strength is too strong, it will be meaningless and not worth watching."

"That's right." Mo Yu gave an example: "Just like the Go project, our country and Japan and South Korea are the two countries. Their strength crushes any other country. Of course, other countries will not have much interest in it, so as not to humiliate themselves."

"E-sports is a global project. Since the five major competition areas have been established, we must try our best to ensure that the competitive level development of the five major competition areas remains consistent."

"You have considered it very comprehensively." Lou Xing fiddled with the teapot, poured out the water, and added another pot to continue boiling: "Then it seems that next year's World Championships will also be held overseas?"

"Um."

Mo Yu nodded: "If S1 is launched in China, then S2 will definitely be released overseas, one by one."

Lou Xing sighed after hearing this: "It's such a pity. It's a huge loss that a super competition like the World Championship cannot be held in China. It seems that Jingzhou will not get the benefit."

During this year's S1 finals, in just a few days, thousands of foreign tourists were brought to Jingzhou, and these tourists spent money in Jingzhou, including accommodation, food, tourism, travel, shopping, etc. The state's economy has been greatly improved, comparable to the golden weeks of National Day and May Day.

This situation is simply rising against the trend of global economic downturn, which is very conspicuous.

At this time, when he heard that S2 was going to be released abroad, Lou Xing couldn't help but look a little pity.

"There is no way." Mo Yu shook his head and said: "It is always arranged in the country. Other competition areas must have opinions. Sports games such as the Olympics and Asian Games also have to change cities every time. Otherwise, they have always been in the same place. How could other countries do it? willing to accept."

"And this year's college league finals will not be held at Beijing University. Last year's college league made Beijing University famous among college students. Now several universities have also applied to the company."

“They are available in Fujian, Hubei and Guangdong provinces.”

"Huh~ The house is leaking and it rains all night long~"

Lou Xing let out a long breath, the regretful look still on his face.

Jingzhou has been vaguely known as the 'e-sports capital' in the world. Many e-sports enthusiasts around the world are very interested in traveling to Jingzhou and want to experience what life is like in the e-sports capital. .

Merchants from all walks of life in Jingzhou are also interested in adding some e-sports elements to their stores to attract tourists.

But now that the World Championships and the College League are no longer in Jingzhou, one of the biggest attractions for tourists is missing. As the mayor of the city, Lou Xing can't help but feel it is a pity.

However, when Mo Yu saw this, he said: "Actually, you don't have to be too regretful. Although one World Championship is gone, there are two other World Championships."

"oh?"

Lou Xing was instantly interested: "Two World Championships?"

Mo Yu said: “One is the MSI mid-season invitational tournament just launched this year. This competition is completely equivalent to a small S-level tournament. In terms of its scale, prize money, and influence, it is planned to be between the A-level tournament and the S-level tournament. After the launch, all major competition areas are very interested, and masters from various countries will come to compete when the time comes. I believe it should bring certain benefits to Jingzhou."

"The other one is the global peak competition of another game under our company. That game is called "Racial Hegemony". It won the grand prize at a game show in North America and is famous all over the world. Although the number of players is not as good as "Gods and Gods" , but there are also a group of loyal fans in the world, spread across many countries around the world, especially in Europe, the United States, South Korea and Russia, and there are no longer a small number of players."

"Although these two games cannot compete with the S game, they are barely worth 5 or 6 points combined."
