Create a great era of e-sports

The association was quiet, as if there was an undercurrent surging around.

Zhang Hengbo understood the overall situation but his expression remained as usual. He sat there, closing his eyes and relaxing.

His worries couldn't be resolved, and he refused to tell Mo Yu until his death. If they could be resolved, then with all the preparations in this year's Korean competition, Mo Yu would have no chance of setting S2 in South Korea.

The overall strength of the GCK division continues to increase, coupled with various favorable policies issued by the association.

Within the five major competition areas, GCK's e-sports environment is not even worse than the current strongest GPL.

a long time.

Then Cui Minzhi said in a deep voice: "In that case, I wonder what you want to do?"

Zhang Hengbo then opened his eyes: "I hope the association can issue a written commitment."

"What promise?"

"I promise that I will not do anything during the S2 World Finals due to any circumstances. If there is match-fixing, fraud, etc. that affects the fairness of the game results, everything will be deemed invalid. Moreover, everyone here must sign this letter of commitment. " Zhang Hengbo said slowly.

"Impossible." Cui Minzhi immediately refused: "It is impossible for the association to take the initiative to hand over the handle to others. Moreover, what if the Chinese team does not win the championship and does not follow the rules in the fish-fishing game and makes the letter of commitment public? After all, you are a Chinese company. !”

"That can't be helped." Zhang Hengbo shook his head: "If you want my help, you must give me a letter of commitment. The only thing I can guarantee is that this letter of commitment will only pass through my hands and be handed over to Mr. Mo. Other than that, no There will be a third person who can see it."

"If everyone here can agree, then I will do my best to convince Mr. Mo to arrange S2 in South Korea!"

Jingzhou.

Fishing game.

Mo Yu received a video call from Zhang Hengbo.

"Commitment letter? Let me take a look."

He turned on his computer and logged into his mailbox. As expected, there was an unread email in it.

There is no content in the email, but there are attachments.

Attached is a paper commitment letter. The content is very simple. It is a promise in the name of KESPA that it will not do anything to the S2 World Finals and will accept the result no matter what the result is. It is stamped with the names of each GCK club. The official seal includes the signature and handprint of the team manager.

"I didn't expect you actually asked them to sign a letter of commitment." Mo Yu laughed loudly: "It's hard to say Korean people's sportsmanship is really hard to say, but now they are willing to write this letter of commitment. It seems that they are really determined to win S2."

"That's right."

Zhang Hengbo nodded slightly: "This year, Koreans have invested a lot, and with the help of chaebols, e-sports has gradually formed a trend. There are many people, men, women, old and young, who like it."

"I heard something."

Mo Yu nodded.

Although he has never been to South Korea, he has seen some news circulating on the Internet.

In South Korea, more and more people are discussing GAG, and the GCK League also has many viewers. The company's internal statistics also show that GAG's players in South Korea are second only to those in China.

However, it was better to hear than to meet, so he still wanted to ask Zhang Hengbo what he thought.

Zhang Hengbo has stayed in South Korea all year round and has a deeper understanding of the country than he does.

"In your opinion, does South Korea have the foundation to host S2?" Mo Yu asked: "Will there be a cold start?"

Zhang Hengbo thought for a while, shook his head and replied: "Probably not."

"The e-sports atmosphere in South Korea is very lively. When the GCK League was held this year, every game was full, including some small offline private events, which also attracted a lot of spectators."

"Last month, the SKT club's Internet cafe held an offline game. There were hundreds of people watching the game at the time. It was very lively."

Zhang Hengbo gave an example and took out his mobile phone to show Mo Yu photos of the scene.

At that time, he happened to go to SKT to talk about something. He happened to see it and thought it was very interesting, so he hid aside and watched two games.

"It seems that GAG is indeed very popular in South Korea."

Mo Yu looked at the photo carefully.

The above image reminded him of when he first started playing in Internet cafes. At that time, the situation in Geili Internet cafes was similar.

And according to Zhang Hengbo, this is not an isolated case.

It can be seen that the overall strength of the Korean division is indeed improving rapidly.

Mo Yu asked again: "Do you think Koreans have hope of winning the S2 championship?"

Various news have shown that the overall strength of the GCK division this year will undergo earth-shaking changes.

Mo Yu looks at the overall situation and also considers the strength comparison between each division.

"It's hard to say." Zhang Hengbo shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "But according to my understanding, the Koreans may really have hope of winning the championship this year."

"How to say?"

Mo Yu was slightly surprised.

Zhang Hengbo is absolutely clear about the strength of GPL, but his expression clearly indicates that GCK has the strength to threaten GPL.

Zhang Hengbo was silent for a few seconds before arranging his words: "With the large investment of chaebol capital, the strength of the GCK division will definitely see a surge in the summer split in the second half of the year. In addition, the variety shows launched by OGN and SBS will also Further increasing the popularity of e-sports in society will definitely attract more and more young people to join e-sports, and a group of new young people will definitely emerge."

"And the basic environment in South Korea is very good. For example, Internet cafes. There are many Internet cafes in South Korea, and the average Internet speed is known as the highest in the world. In addition, they have a rule that minors can also enter and surf the Internet within the specified time. , which is of great benefit to cultivating e-sports talents.”

"KESPA has also obtained the company's authorization to form lower-level Internet cafe leagues throughout Korea, which has been welcomed by many people. Moreover, under the management of the association, clubs, players, events, youth training, peripherals, derivatives, etc. are all arranged In order, the entire industry is developing in an orderly direction, and the overall growth rate of the competition area will definitely become faster and faster."

"Also, I wonder if Mr. Mo has noticed any news?"

Mo Yu raised his eyebrows and asked, "What news?"

Zhang Hengbo said: "A member of the Blue House made a public statement, "We must increase the construction of Korean cultural industries and enhance cultural soft power." It focused on the development of the e-sports industry and believed that e-sports is one of the important issues in the Korean cultural industry. .”

When Mo Yu heard this, he immediately searched online.

After entering a few keywords, an article actually came out.

It is said that a certain congressman once gave a speech at an internal meeting of Cheong Wa Dae, publicly stating that he would increase investment in the e-sports industry, regulate the development of the e-sports industry, and make South Korea one of the powerful e-sports countries through a series of measures.

The content of this speech even appeared in some official Korean newspapers and was widely circulated on the Korean Internet.

In the comments below the article, many netizens also publicly expressed their support.

He even found out that news of several chaebol groups entering GAG events to establish professional e-sports clubs was also revealed. When the reporter publicly interviewed the chaebol spokesperson, the other party admitted the matter very generously and expressed his support for the e-sports industry. Very optimistic, the company is willing to invest funds.
