Create a great era of e-sports

"Mr. Mo, do you think Sina can also engage in e-sports?"

Cao Qingfeng was half joking and half serious.

The idea came to him suddenly, and he had never thought about it at all.

The main reasons are two points. First, after the investigation, he saw the various forces gathered in the e-sports industry. Those forces are now all gathered under the banner of e-sports, forming a vague and unclear A business alliance community stipulated in the articles.

Although on the outside it looks like everyone is just setting up an e-sports club for fun and there are no commercial disputes, it saves them a lot of trouble if anything happens and they can find ways to borrow the energy of each company.

Even Sina, one of the country's leading Internet media platforms, is jealous of such an alliance. It not only brings connections but also has many benefits.

The second is because of Shang Xingyue.

Cao Qingfeng clearly knows the relationship behind Shang Xingyue, and he also knows the background of her family. She is very knowledgeable, especially in sports, and e-sports happens to belong to sports.

In addition, the relationship between Shang Xingyue and Mo Yu seemed a bit unusual, which made him have to think more.

Is Mo Yu’s development of e-sports supported by businesses?

If this is the case, will e-sports be a new trend in the future?

Will Sina benefit from joining it?

In an instant, all kinds of thoughts popped up in his head. The more he thought about it, the more he realized that there was something to be done in e-sports, a big deal!

"Mr. Mo, I heard that the GPL professional league has just started and there are still very few clubs. If a team is created in the name of Sina, can I join?" Cao Qingfeng asked.

Mo Yu felt very strange when he heard this. Why was Cao Qingfeng suddenly interested?

When the two parties discussed cooperation before, Cao Qingfeng never expressed any intention in this regard. Why did he suddenly ask about it during dinner in the evening?

He didn't understand, but he didn't have any problem with it.

"Sina wants to join?"

"Welcome!"

"Sina is an online media platform and naturally has the mouthpiece for publicity. If it can join the e-sports system, it will be helpful to the entire e-sports system. In the future, we can also say more good things about e-sports. Of course I have no objection. "

Mo Yu laughed.

E-sports just needs a media to speak out for it. Sina is a good target, and Weibo will be the icing on the cake in the future.

In the previous life of the LPL, there was a Weibo team called WBG, and now it is not a bad idea to have a Sina team in the GPL early.

"Then I wonder what the conditions are for joining it?"

When Cao Qingfeng heard this, he couldn't help but ask carefully: "Or should we just create the club and just say hello?"

"Of course it's not that simple." Mo Yu waved his hand and said: "Mr. Cao, if Sina wanted to join the league last year before it was created, I would definitely welcome it with both hands and feet, and there would be no conditions. But that's not possible now. "

"Considering the development of the e-sports industry, I have taken the lead in establishing the World E-sports Alliance. There are five major divisions under the alliance. We all work together for the development of the leagues in their respective regions. The benefits are shared, as are the risks."

"Now that Sina wants to join in, even if I agree, others will definitely have opinions."

Cao Qingfeng suddenly said: "That's it."

He did not expect that the e-sports industry could be said to be just in its infancy, but Mo Yu had already established various administrative organizational structures.

These structures are both a constraint and an enabler.

Everyone must abide by the rules and conditions.

It’s really not that easy for Sina to join now. It has to bleed.

Cao Qingfeng became a little confused when he thought of this.

Weibo is Sina's next most important strategic goal, and everything within the company must make way for it. If the conditions required to join e-sports are too difficult, he will have to think again.

"When a new member enters, everyone must agree. This is the right thing to do." Cao Qingfeng nodded and asked, "I wonder what conditions Sina needs to get everyone to agree if it wants to join?"

Mo Yu smiled and said: "It's actually not difficult."

“In principle, any club that wants to join the league must be of the same mind as everyone else, be willing, able, and have ideas to help the development of the e-sports system and the league. It must have the same goal as everyone, and it must also help the development of e-sports. ability."

"There is no doubt that Sina is qualified in these aspects, and the only thing left to satisfy is one thing!"

"What?" Cao Qingfeng asked.

"Seat fee!"

Mo Yu said slowly.

Although the GPL league is new, it is not small in scale. It is a giant in any traditional sports event. The ratings can crush all kinds of events. The broadcast rights will attract countless people rushing to buy them. Fortunately, the broadcast fees alone can collect tens of millions every year, not to mention various advertising fees and sponsorship fees.

But there is no way. GPL is e-sports, which is incomparable with traditional sports events. It is naturally discriminated against. It can be said that it is at the bottom of the sports contempt chain. If you practice traditional sports, you may look down on those who play e-sports.

Even if you are officially selected and recognized by the country in the future, your status will still be very low, and people will still despise you in various ways.

If e-sports wants to compete with sports such as sprinting, swimming, football, and basketball, it will only be possible in another hundred years.

Therefore, the current achievements of e-sports must be discounted. In the eyes of outsiders, 100 points may only be 20 points.

But even so, e-sports has developed and is advancing at a high speed.

The league has collected a large amount of advertising fees this year, and each club can earn several million during the dividend distribution at the end of the year. The most important thing is that the huge ratings of e-sports are there, with dozens or millions of people watching at every turn. Competition, and in the future, hundreds or tens of millions will not be a problem.

Therefore, if you want to join this system, seat fees are already essential.

It doesn't matter if you play GDL, just give it a few hundred thousand and forget about it.

If you want to enter the GPL, sorry, first you must have the ability, and secondly you must pay.

Without these, individual teams can still participate in the S competition if they go to cup competitions, but if they want to enter the e-sports league, join the professional league, and have a certain influence in the e-sports circle, it is completely impossible!

"The GPL is reforming towards a commercial event. It is neither a free nor a state-sponsored event. In addition, we have to convince the various clubs in the league that seat fees are essential. Otherwise, there is no cost. Isn't it possible to enter if you want to? Come in, come out as you think, purely based on your own will, without any restrictions?"

"So, if Sina wants to join, it must pay a seat fee to be recognized by everyone to join the GPL. Otherwise, it can only play cup competitions."
