Create a great era of e-sports

After the carnival, a mess was left behind.

Cleaning up the site, cleaning up the trash, transporting equipment, there are a lot of things that need to be done in the aftermath.

Under Yang Qiu's overall arrangement, the vehicles drove into the site and specialized cleaning crews began to clean up the site.

After Mo Yu said goodbye to the reporters, he found Zhang Zhaoyang again.

"After the finals, I plan to formally visit your father to discuss the Jingzhou Cup. When will he have time?"

Zhang Zhaoyang was a little tired after a night of wandering.

He yawned: "I'll ask him tomorrow. Wait for my call."

"OK!"

Mo Yu nodded and asked again: "Did you mention the Central Stadium matter to him?"

"I mentioned it." Zhang Zhaoyang replied: "I said I would help, but there is no reply yet. Let's talk in detail when we meet another day."

"Just help."

Mo Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

The symbolic meaning of the Central Stadium is very important, as long as Zhang Hongwen is willing to help.

"The Jingzhou Cup should be held this year. Please pay close attention to your club's affairs. Don't start the competition then. You haven't formed a team yet."

"Do not worry."

Zhang Zhaoyang smiled and said: "I have been paying attention to this matter, and I guarantee that the formation will be completed before the game. By the way, what are you going to do with the Jingzhou Cup? Is it an invitation-only competition or an audition like an Internet cafe competition?"

The invitation system means inviting teams to participate.

The audition will continue with large-scale online pre-selection in the game to finally determine the list.

Zhang Zhaoyang asked this because many sports events now have similar systems.

Mo Yu had already thought about this.

"Let's do both in parallel."

"There are no formal organized e-sports teams now. Everyone is formed by a few friends to participate. It is unrealistic to adopt an invitation-only system. However, the popularity of Internet cafe competitions is here, and the reputation of the leading teams is already there. The competition has started among players, and I plan to invite two teams, FTD and Friends, to directly enter the group stage, while other teams will participate and continue online selection."

"In the end, sixteen teams were selected to participate. The competition format is still the same as the Internet cafe competition. No major changes are needed. The competition requirements are also the same!"

Early stage of development.

Mo Yu still had the same idea.

Expand the number of participants, lower the entry threshold, and increase the public’s willingness to participate.

It is unrealistic to want to imitate the football league at this time, with as many professional teams participating in the competition.

"Can."

Zhang Zhaoyang nodded: "You are an expert in e-sports. Come up with a plan. I will take you to see the old man another day. Let's sit down and talk in detail!"

"Um."

The two chatted for a few words, and Zhang Zhaoyang was ready to leave.

After taking only two steps, I saw two people walking over.

Zhang Zhaoyang took a closer look and shouted in shock: "Dad? Uncle Yan? Why are you two here?"

Hearing the sound, Mo Yu stopped and looked back, and it turned out to be Zhang Hongwen and another man.

Then Zhang Hongwen came over and said with a smile: "What? Can't we come to watch the game?"

"No." Zhang Zhaoyang said in surprise: "You and Uncle Yan are over a hundred years old together. Why don't you come to watch the game if you don't have a good rest? Besides, why don't you come to see me when you come to watch?"

Yan Kaixian said: "Why are we looking for you? You young people look at the young people, and we look at ours. It's just fine to be apart, but when we get together, we can't let go, and our hands are tied."

After saying that, he looked at Mo Yu next to him: "Are you Mr. Mo Yu?"

"Yes, I am Mo Yu, who are you?" Mo Yu didn't recognize him.

Zhang Zhaoyang quickly introduced: "This is Uncle Yan, an official, in charge of Jingzhou's cultural, sports and Internet affairs."

Oops!

boss!

Mo Yu quickly bent down and stretched out his hand: "Hello, Yanju, hello! I didn't expect you to come to the game!"

Yan Kai stretched out his hand and shook it gently, then separated it and said with a smile: "Lao Zhang said that there is a game developer who wants to hold an e-sports competition at the Central Stadium. Of course I want to come and see it."

Mo Yu's heart skipped a beat when he heard this.

As expected, Yan Kai came first because of the Central Stadium matter.

The reason why I didn't contact Zhang Zhaoyang in advance was probably because I wanted to conduct an on-site inspection first. If it didn't go well, I wouldn't agree to approve the venue.

The problem is that I don’t know how Yan Kaixian sees it?

The scale of the Internet cafe competition cannot be compared with those celebrity concerts that often involve thousands of people.

Although it is an unprecedented event in the gaming industry, in reality it was only a few hundred spectators watching ten Internet-addicted teenagers play a game on the stage, and the scale was pitifully small.

Even though Mo Yu had arranged everything very formally and the atmosphere at tonight's game was lively, it was hard for him to say what Yan Kaixian thought.

Say okay, that’s great in the gaming industry!

Because no one has ever done it before, let alone the atmosphere of watching the game is not bad at all.

If it’s not good, then that’s not good either.

It is completely incomparable to traditional sports events such as football and basketball, as well as celebrity concerts and exhibitions.

Holding games at the Central Stadium is a shortcut to promote e-sports. If Yan Kaixian has a bad experience watching the game tonight and is prejudicial and dislikes the old and the young, it will be difficult.

Mo Yu raised his eyes and looked at the faces of Zhang Hongwen and Yan Kaixian.

They all looked normal, smiling, not feeling unhappy, their clothes were neat, and there was no obvious dislike.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu relaxed slightly and asked tentatively: "What do you think of tonight's game?"

Yan and Zhang are both a shopping mall boss and an official powerhouse, with very precise vision and both are human beings. Mo Yu's behavior was immediately seen through by them.

The two looked at each other and laughed.

Yan Kai shook his head first, gave a thumbs up and praised: "Very good, very atmospheric!"

"Mr. Mo, Lao Zhang and I have been friends for decades. If he recommends you to me, he is definitely very optimistic about you. I am not a hypocritical person. Today's e-sports competition opened my eyes. I am completely I didn’t expect that an online game that people have always thought of as a distraction could be so inspiring and cohesive!”

"Tonight, I seem to see a brand new competitive sport rising!"

"So if you want to hold the Jingzhou Cup at the Central Stadium, I fully support it without any obstruction. I even want to ask, since the game is called the Jingzhou Cup, can we Jingzhou officials also participate in it? "

Yan Kaixian smiled.

Mo Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed!

Officials want to participate, but Shabi won’t agree!

E-sports is born out of games, and its development is not easy.

There are many invisible constraints that cannot be solved by money at all. The most important thing is that if a parent of a player comes on stage to make trouble during a game, points his finger at Mo Yu and scolds him for playing games to harm others, and someone else adds fuel to the flames, it will happen instantly. The explosion spread directly across the country, let alone the future.

Now Yan Kaixian's proposal simply spoke to his heart.

The development of LOL e-sports in the previous life was initiated by Penguin, and behind it was the support of the upper echelons of Magic City. Various methods were given the green light by ZC, and there were almost no obstacles. Therefore, it developed steadily, and even affected other cities, and further introduced the home and away system. , which is of great benefit to the development of e-sports.

Of course it's the same here.

Not only does it have many benefits, but the most important thing is that as long as the official is willing to come forward to support it, the public opinion on the social environment that has been troubling Mo Yu will disappear almost immediately without much effort.

Mo Yu had been worrying about this matter for a few years, planning to develop slowly for a few years, but he never expected that the turnaround would come so quickly!

Not only the venue has been solved, but also the real issue of public opinion has been solved.

Double happiness is coming!

really!

Those who love to laugh will not have bad luck!

"Of course! As long as Mr. Zhang agrees, I have no objection!"

I thought there was nothing wrong with coughing and stuffing my nose, but then I smoked two cigarettes and now I feel what it feels like to cough up my lungs!
