Create a great era of e-sports

S3 is over.

At the same time, it also means that all competitions for all games owned by Moyu Company have ended this year.

Next comes the offseason and winter window.

Every team has to prepare for next year. Some clubs have begun to contact their favorite professional players in the transfer market, and some have begun to participate in some commercials. In short, everyone has taken action.

Return to Jingzhou.

Mo Yu took Shang Xingyue back home, planning to spend some time together before the New Year, and then prepare for the New Year.

"This time I went to the beautiful country, I discovered something, maybe you can learn from it."

When the two of them were sitting on the sofa watching TV, Shang Xingyue suddenly mentioned something.

"What?"

Mo Yu asked curiously.

"Home court." Shang Xingyue ate fruit and leaned on Mo Yu's shoulder and said: "Look, it is a commercial event. Almost most teams in the NBA have their own home stadium, such as Staples Arena. Isn’t it the home arena of the Lakers and Clippers?”

"Having a home arena is a great way for those teams to not only strengthen the connection between the club and their fans, but also to promote basketball culture."

"There are so many well-known e-sports clubs around the world, but they are not widely distributed. Most of them are concentrated in one or a few specific cities, far from being spread everywhere. Moreover, the major clubs, especially some of them, are less well-known. The club may also need a home ground to strengthen contact with fans."

"So, have you ever thought about promoting home court culture in e-sports?"

Shang Xingyue's words made Mo Yu suddenly feel excited.

In fact, he really didn't think about the home game.

In other words, it’s not that I haven’t thought about it but that it’s not necessary.

The main reason is that the home stadiums of LPL clubs in the previous life were not very good. Except for a few, many clubs did not have a home court. Even if they did have a home court, they were often relatively small. Although from a macro perspective, the advantages of implementing home stadiums outweighed the disadvantages. But it actually doesn't have as big an effect as imagined.

There are many factors, such as too few clubs with strength and performance, too small a home stadium, too much cost, etc.

Mo Yu frowned and said, "It costs a lot to build the home stadium. Isn't it too much to go to war?"

"I know what you mean, are you worried that those clubs are unwilling to invest?" Shang Xingyue smiled: "You are right to worry, but it is not impossible to make up for it. After all, e-sports competitions are not like basketball and football events. "Thousands or even tens of thousands of people attend each game. With so many events every year, many may only have hundreds or thousands of people actually arrive at the scene. Most people prefer to watch the games online, which is convenient and affordable."

"That's right."

Mo Yu nodded and said: "Watching the game live is certainly more exciting, but it costs a lot of money such as tickets, accommodation, travel, food, etc. For example, watching it directly online."

"Then have you ever thought about the advantages of building a team's home stadium?" Shang Xingyue asked back: "A team's home stadium can help the club increase its influence, and at the same time, it can strengthen the connection between fans and the club, and it can also help Weak teams attract traffic.”

"As long as there are enough home stadiums, the influence of e-sports can be expanded beyond just a few cities."

"I know you want e-sports to enter the Olympics. Expanding the home court is equivalent to increasing the influence of e-sports. The greater the influence, the more helpful it will be for you to enter the Olympics."

"What's more, don't forget, the current distribution of e-sports clubs is too concentrated. For example, in China, most of them are in Jingzhou. If the home stadium is successfully built in other cities, it will actually be equivalent to expanding the territory."

Shang Xingyue's words completely touched Mo Yu's heart.

Although playing at home has its shortcomings, it also has many advantages. It just depends on how to choose between the pros and cons.

"Where's the money? What should I do?" Mo Yu said: "Not every club has the money or is willing to spend money to build a home stadium. Even a small venue costs a lot of money."

The company has built a competition center, built an immortal monument in Jiangdong, and has two stadiums under construction, each costing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.

Those clubs are unwilling to pay such a large amount of money because they cannot get it back in a short time.

"You still don't understand what I mean." Shang Xingyue shook his head and said: "Just take GAG ​​as an example. I have also watched the leagues at the Jingjie Center. In addition to the three major cups, MSI, and S games, in the normal leagues, except Many of the well-known teams such as Emperor Star, LGD, and WE do not have that many people when they actually play the game. The only people who are really willing to come to the scene to support may only be a few hundred loyal fans, or at most a thousand people.”

"So the home stadium for e-sports competitions does not necessarily need to be too big. As long as it has a capacity of less than 1,000 people, it is completely sufficient."

"And even if it is the home court of an NBA team, many of them are not fully funded by one company. What we want is just a home court, not a home court that belongs entirely to the club. Do you understand?"

Mo Yu suddenly realized.

"What you mean is that if a club wants to build a home stadium, it can definitely find cooperation with others. Several companies can build it together, or even spend money to rent a venue locally. All it takes is a name."

"That's right." Shang Xingyue nodded: "Of course, this is just a way to do it if you don't have money. Those who have money can also build it themselves. Like Zhang Zhaoyang, he will definitely be willing."

When Mo Yu heard this, he thought of the Emperor Star Esports Arena.

It is a comprehensive e-sports stadium dedicated to Emperor Star located on Haitang Avenue in Jingzhou.

There are not only special competition venues, but also some exhibitions, training rooms, gyms and other activity spaces.

Daily player training, holding small competitions, inviting fans, holding events, etc. are all held there, and it has become a training base similar to the club.

Moyu Games has rented it before when it held CSGO competitions.

The Emperor Star Esports Arena can actually be regarded as a small home court.

Moreover, Shang Xingyue also said something that impressed him deeply.

Today’s e-sports clubs are too densely distributed.

Most of the domestic clubs are in Jingzhou, most of the European ones are in Berlin, most of the Saudi ones are in Riyadh, and most of the Korean clubs are concentrated in Seoul.

However, as long as the home stadium is built, the major clubs will inevitably be separated. In a sense, it will open up territory and expand the scope of e-sports.

Not to mention other benefits such as club home culture.

The implementation of the home court system, no matter what, is definitely beneficial to e-sports as a whole, as well as to clubs and fans. Whether it is tickets or expanding the influence of e-sports, it is greatly beneficial.

"good."

Mo Yu's thoughts were also changed: "I still don't see the problem as comprehensively as you think. I used to think that the home court was flashy and would do more harm than good. Now it seems that it is indeed a good idea. I will explain this matter immediately and summon all the major clubs. Have a meeting to discuss." (End of chapter)
