Create a great era of e-sports

"Perfect!"

“It’s basically the same as I remember!”

After trying two games, Mo Yu was very satisfied.

This version of DOTA can be said to have completely calmed down all his resentments. It is a new DOTA2 that can be accepted by the veterans of DOTA1. It can be called the most perfect MOBA game.

That's right, it's the most perfect.

This sentence is not Mo Yu's bragging or any filter, but the exact fact.

Among all MOBA games, even GAG cannot compare in terms of gameplay alone.

If the difference between the two is compared with chess, then DOTA is like Go and GAG is like chess.

As long as the rules of chess are explained clearly, anyone can play it; in Go, even if the rules are explained clearly, newcomers still don't understand it and must play dozens of games before they can get started.

certainly.

There is no distinction between the two games. Even in terms of playability and popularity, GAG is superior. Because the entry barrier for DOTA is too high, it is destined to be impossible for everyone to play it like GAG.

And what Mo Yu wants is not another GAG.

His request for DOTA is very simple, that is, to attract all players who do not play GAG to DOTA.

Use these two games to completely harvest global gamers, occupy the largest market, and have the largest number of players, so that no one will dare to make PC MOBA in the future. Even if there are, those games can still see GAG ​​and DOTA. Shadow is considered by players to be a plagiarized work.

Since then, Moyu Games has become the dominant player and has completely mastered this most popular game type in the field of e-sports.

"There are basically no problems with the game and it can be officially launched."

Putting down the mouse, Mo Yu asked his assistant to call Zhang Yiming.

Not long after, Zhang Yiming arrived at the office.

"Mr. Mo, do you have anything to do with me?"

"sit."

The two sat down on the sofa, and Mo Yu said: "I have already played the game, it is perfect, just as I expected. Yiming, you are the best."

"Thank you, Mr. Mo."

Zhang Yiming smiled and said: "It's mainly due to you. If it weren't for that planning plan, I wouldn't be able to do it."

The DOTA planning plan that Mo Yu gave him at that time included everything he remembered about DOTA from his previous life, including skill effects, hero names, equipment, hero model sketches, etc., and even the skills of some heroes. I remember the damage values ​​clearly.

That is to say, no one will remember the more detailed data such as attribute growth, otherwise he would have to write it down.

DOTA was able to be completely developed in just one year, and that planning plan can be said to be a major contributor.

"But the time is still too tight, and not all the heroes in the plan have been designed."

"It's okay. There is no need to release all the heroes at once. 62 are enough. Take your time and keep them fresh."

Mo Yu waved his hand, and the plan he gave directly included all the heroes in the original DOTA2, up to the latest Qiongying Biling, which has more than 100 heroes.

"That's fine." Zhang Yiming nodded and said, "In that case, let's launch a new hero in three months. What do you think?"

Mo Yu said: "Well, you can make your own decision. Valve will be fully responsible for the follow-up matters related to DOTA. The top priority now is to launch the game. The company has sales channels around the world. I plan to release DOTA simultaneously around the world. What do you think?"

According to the lunar calendar, it is now the end of 2009, and the Chinese New Year is coming soon, but according to the new calendar, it is already January.

DOTA's version number and other related procedures have all been completed. If it is only launched in China, it is best to wait until after the New Year. Everyone has celebrated the New Year and has time, but if it is synchronized globally, then now is actually quite suitable.

"I have thought about this too." Zhang Yiming said: "Actually, there are no bugs in DOTA now, and the relevant procedures have been completed. Originally, my idea was to wait until next year to test the water first in China and open an internal network. Let’s test it out, but if you plan to synchronize it globally, Mr. Mo, then do it sooner rather than later.”

Mo Yu said: "DOTA has attracted a lot of attention since the project was established. People from all over the world have made reservations, and global competitions will also be launched in the future. I have also taken this into consideration."

Moyu Company has become a globally renowned gaming company.

The reputation is not limited to the country, but also has a large number of players and fans around the world.

After DOTA is launched, it must follow GAG's pace to build a global competition system.

According to Mo Yu's plan, the earlier he goes online, the earlier he can cultivate players. If DOTA performs well enough, he will abandon the Major Cup system of the previous life, and instead hold the cup and league together like GAG. At least it has been done in Saudi Arabia. The reservation is ready. As soon as the company confirms that the event can be started, Saudi Arabia will immediately start the DOTA Oil Cup.

"In that case, let's do it next week."

Zhang Yiming thought for a while and said: "How about a few final rounds of checks and a global simultaneous internal beta test next Saturday?"

"Okay." Mo Yu agreed: "I see that the number of reservations on the official website has exceeded 2 million, so let's not do the internal test of deleting files. Let's just start the test of not deleting files. When the time is right, we will confirm that there will be no impact. When there are bugs in the game environment, we will directly switch to open beta."

"Okay, then I'll make arrangements right away."

Zhang Yiming acted vigorously and resolutely. He immediately went out to the valve office downstairs and started arranging work directly.

Seeing Zhang Yiming walking out, Mo Yu sat back at his desk and started thinking about the construction of DOTA's competition system.

Relying on the experience of his previous life, he judged that DOTA is not low in popularity in Western cultural countries. It may not be as popular as GAG in China, but due to a completely different game mode, its performance may not be bad.

Therefore, under his design, DOTA should be able to enable leagues and cups to be played together.

It's just that he still has to think clearly about the division of competition areas.

In the previous life, DOTA professional players were spread across many countries, including Europe, Mongolia, Damao, Ermao, Bulgaria, Sweden, Pakistan, Southeast Asia, Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Island, North America, and South America. Almost all over the world.

It may not be safe to divide simply according to the five GAG ​​competition regions. At least South Korea certainly cannot be used as a separate competition region.

"The distribution of professional players is too chaotic, and holding offline events is also a problem, especially in Europe, where there are dozens of countries. It is very troublesome to hold offline events."

On GAG, since the European agent Thomas is German, GEU's daily leagues are arranged in Berlin, and only the annual spring and summer finals are drawn in various countries.

same.

In addition to having headquarters in their own countries, many e-sports clubs in Europe also have bases in Berlin, which is even more important than their domestic headquarters. Their professional players train there.

"If the clubs participating in the DOTA competition are still like the GAG ​​clubs, it will be no problem to continue in Germany, but the new game will definitely give birth to new teams, and the situation will be different after all."

"Forget it, it's still too early to think about the division of competition regions. The specific arrangements will depend on the distribution of the number of players in each region after the game is launched. We will see then."
