Create a great era of e-sports

May 14, 8 a.m.

Spring Road, Starry Sky Internet Cafe.

Mo Yu came here early.

At this time, the Internet cafe has a completely new look, and everything that needs to be swept and mopped has been cleaned.

In order to facilitate the competition, the ten machines that the players will use have been rearranged and placed at the front of the Internet cafe hall on both sides.

There is a large space between the two sides.

The three stand-up air conditioners configured by Moyu Company are also in place.

At the entrance to the front desk, a dedicated person has already placed the replacement peripherals needed for the game as well as some snacks, drinks and other things.

Four large TV screens were hung in front of the competition machine.

There are about thirty chairs in three rows on the screen.

This is the auditorium.

Mo Yu didn't know how many spectators there would be, but at least Zhang Zhaoyang said he would come. Local gamers from Jingzhou might also come, including the owner of Starry Sky Internet Cafe and the customers who play "Gods and Gods" online here. Come, there are some parents accompanying you.

Thirty chairs will most likely be filled with spectators, and if there are any extra people, they will have to find a place where they can easily see the screen.

After all, it's just a small Internet cafe competition, and the venue is also an Internet cafe, so you can't expect too much.

"Yangqiu!"

Mo Yu saw Yang Qiu talking to someone from a distance and raised his hand to call.

Yang Qiu turned his head and saw him, and immediately came up to him: "Mr. Mo."

The man following him also came up to him, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Mo!"

"Who is this?" Mo Yu asked.

Yang Qiu smiled and said: "This is Boss Liu Guoliang Liu of Xingkong Internet Cafe."

"Boss Liu, nice to meet you~"

Mo Yu grabbed Liu Guoliang and smiled: "Thank you for providing the venue for our company to hold this competition. Thank you very much."

Liu Guoliang looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing casual clothes. When he heard Mo Yu say this, he waved his hands and said: "It's just a small venue, nothing. But Mr. Mo, your company can choose It’s really brilliant to hold a competition here!”

"No matter what, it's all boss Liu who values ​​it." Mo Yu said modestly: "Xingkong Internet Cafe is the largest Internet cafe in Jingzhou, but we are hindering your business."

Liu Guoliang said indifferently: "It's only a few days, how much money can I make? On the contrary, if "Gods and Gods" can compete with me, then I will really make money!"

"I am at the front desk of the Internet cafe every day. I know best how popular "Gods and Gods" is now. If you can hold a competition here, won't players from Jingzhou flock to it in the future? Why do you care about the small profits?"

"Mr. Liu can see clearly." Mo Yu raised his thumb and praised.

The two of them laughed and chatted for a while, and Liu Guoliang suddenly mentioned: "Mr. Mo, I heard that Zhang Zhaoyang wants to set up an e-sports club specifically to play games?"

Mo Yu asked curiously: "Have you heard about it, Mr. Liu?"

"Of course, everyone is opening Internet cafes in Jingzhou, and the awesome Mr. Zhang is so young and promising. Not only me, but all the Internet cafe owners in the city have heard about it. But I don't know what an e-sports club is. I heard that Zhang Zhaoyang came up with this idea after talking with Mr. Mo. I would like to ask if it is the same as the football club?"

Liu Guodian lit a cigarette, his eyes full of exploration.

Esports club?

He had heard of football and basketball clubs, but he had never heard of e-sports clubs.

Zhang Zhaoyang, if nothing else, is really good at opening Internet cafes. Otherwise, he would not have been able to open all over the city in a short time and become the first in Jingzhou with just money.

Because of this, not only Liu Guoliang, but also many Internet cafe owners who are good friends with him are paying close attention to Zhang Zhaoyang's actions. By the way, they are very interested in e-sports clubs and want to know more about them.

It just so happened that the Internet Cafe Tournament was held here, so Liu Guoliang came over early and waited for Mo Yu.

Mo Yu didn't expect such a surprise.

Who were the first people to found e-sports clubs in previous lives?

The second generation of rich people, retired professional players, and Internet cafe owners are all regular big companies. They are just playing for money and generating electricity for love.

At this stage, Mo Yu knew that all e-sports clubs in later generations were founded by corporate giants and company CEOs, but that was still impossible. Internet cafe owners were also considered one of the main forces.

"E-sports club, what should I say?"

Mo Yu pondered for a while and then explained: "Actually, you understand well. E-sports clubs are just like football clubs, they all sign players to participate in the competition."

"E-sports is actually e-sports. In professional terms, it is a sport in which video game competitions reach a competitive level. An e-sports club is an organization similar to a football club that specializes in organizing teams to participate in e-sports competitions."

"Does this mean that this Internet cafe game is e-sports?" Liu Guoliang pointed ahead.

"Yes, this is also an e-sports competition!" Mo Yu responded affirmatively.

"I see."

Liu Guodian nodded, and then said in confusion: "I understand e-sports, and e-sports clubs also understand, but football clubs are established because football is a traditional competitive sport that has been passed down for hundreds of years and has its own economic system. Clubs can make money through this, but I don’t know how e-sports clubs can make money?”

"Mr. Liu is right."

Mo Yu affirmed at first, and then changed the topic: "It's just that I don't think e-sports can develop into football before. By then, it will naturally be profitable. Of course, this is not absolute. Football clubs will also lose money."

"E-sports is a completely new concept at the moment. The real game is probably the Internet cafe game in front of you. At this stage, I can only say that Zhang Zhaoyang simply found it fun and liked to play, so he founded the club."

"Boss Liu, if you want to ask me how to make a profit and when to make a profit, I can't even tell you."

“I can only say that with the joint efforts of all those who are interested in e-sports, that day should come!”

"Yeah?"

Liu Guoliang was thoughtful.

"Do you have any ideas about e-sports?" Mo Yu said with a smile.

"I do have an idea!" Liu Guodian nodded: "I'm just not familiar with it, but now after listening to Mr. Mo's explanation, I have a rough idea in my mind."

"To be honest, I am actually a gamer myself, otherwise I wouldn't have opened this Starry Sky Internet Cafe. I'm not afraid of your jokes. Starry Sky's No. 1 machine is actually my exclusive machine and is never open to customers."

"I have been playing online games before, and recently I became obsessed with "Gods and Gods"!"

"So when I heard that Moyu Company was coming to my place to hold a competition, it was definitely a green light and there was no obstacle at all!"

Liu Guoliang laughed while talking.

Mo Yu also remembered that when he asked Yang Qiu to find a venue, he seemed to have said that Liu Guoliang had no objection at all. Now that he heard that he also played "Gods and Gods", he couldn't help but be more interested.

He felt that Liu Guoliang was both an Internet cafe owner and a player. With double blessing, the next e-sports club might be Star Club.

"oh?"

Mo Yu asked with great interest: "What rank is Boss Liu?"
