Global Monopoly of Technology

Two days later, the WRPO Organizing Committee once again disclosed the latest news, and within an hour or two of the announcement, it spread throughout the entire e-sports circle. You must know that the mainland e-sports circle is always watching the WRPO group. Committee, as soon as there is new news, it will be spread as soon as possible.

There are a lot of news announced this time. The first is to disclose that the competition items of the first WRPO competition in 2008 have been added to 12 items, and the second is to announce the club league rules under the WRPO system.

As soon as the news came out, the global e-sports clubs were all in an uproar and were all excited.

The key lies in its revenue sharing. According to the information disclosed by the organizing committee, the profits of WRPO events, including event tickets, sponsorships, and in-game props, etc., clubs and players under the WRPO system can participate in revenue sharing.

To put it simply, everyone is on the same boat. The income of the entire WRPO is deeply bound to everyone. The higher the overall income, the higher the income shared by all parties.

A large group has entered the market to integrate the entire e-sports ecosystem. It is indeed an unusual move. It is the first time that such a complete commercial model has been done.

According to the information disclosed by WRPO, bidding for 12 seats will be opened in the four major sub-divisions of the world except the card division, a total of 48 league seats.

Clubs can only register in their respective divisions and can only run for seats in their respective divisions, and the bidding prices vary.

This year's seat bidding starts at a low price. The bidding price for a seat in Greater China starts at ￥5 million per year, the European region and the Americas are 2.2 million US dollars / year, and the Korean region is 1.9 million US dollars / year.

As long as it has obtained the joint qualification of WRPO, the club can play all competitions in the WRPO system, whether it is Starcraft, Warcraft, or CS, there is no need to buy additional seats for these projects.

In order to ensure the healthy and stable development of the WRPO alliance ecology, seats can comprehensively evaluate the qualifications of the clubs that have entered the alliance to obtain seat qualifications, so as to ensure that all alliance members can operate and develop in a healthy and sustainable manner, and make continuous progress together with the entire WRPO system.

The evaluation criteria are mainly:

Shareholders and structure of the club and its parent company: For example, whether the shareholding of the club and the parent company is clear, etc.

Financial status of the club: whether there is sufficient investment, stable sources of funds, whether the past financial status is relatively stable, whether there is sufficient financial emergency capacity, etc.

Club operation: brand influence and brand building ability,

Business operation ability, fit with the overall operation of the alliance, etc.

Team management: Competitive structure and capabilities, player training and training, past violation records, past team performance, and players’ circulation issues between clubs, etc.

According to the above four criteria, after a comprehensive evaluation, existing clubs that meet the evaluation criteria and clubs that meet the qualification admission through seat bidding will obtain the joint qualification of WRPO after paying the "guarantee".

The clubs that do not meet the standards will not be able to enter the league system, nor can they participate in the competition under the WRPO system, but it does not mean that they will never be admitted. The organizing committee will also take corresponding measures to help these clubs.

In the future, with the continuous development of the WRPO Alliance, the seats will continue to expand.

The organizing committee released this announcement. The South Korean side is the most active. Without him, a "StarCraft" project is enough. In this competition project, the Koreans are almost absolutely dominant at present. It is said that the 32 strongest interstellar professional players in the world are all Koreans.

And clubs under the KeSAP system, such as Samsung, SKT1, CJ, and KT, are not bad money owners, and the capital behind them are big Korean companies.

The "guarantee" for bidding seats is not cheap, but there is no financial pressure for these clubs in South Korea. According to the information disclosed by the WRPO alliance system, a complete set of commercial operations is worth looking forward to. In addition, Luo Sheng's 15 The investment budget of 100 million US dollars is the biggest guarantee.

Whether the Koreans accept it or not, the WCG has now gone from being the Olympic Games hailed as e-sports and the industry benchmark to a third-party event that earns WRPO points in the eyes of many clubs and professional players.

That's right, WRPO has certified the WCG event, which is recognized.

This also does not require the approval or disapproval of the WCG, because the admission is for professional players, as long as the WRPO unilaterally approves it, and the player's ranking in the WCG event will be counted according to the corresponding points.

Therefore, in the current WCG event, professional players have achieved results in this event, and WRPO will calculate his points based on their results, and the top three players in the division standings can participate in the WRPO annual finals.

This rule is to let the players play diligently in the game, and secondly they must be strong, because the championship points are always the highest, and the games with high gold content also get the highest points.

Not surprisingly, all Korean e-sports clubs participated in the bidding for 12 seats in the local competition area, and they were the most competitive for the joint qualification among the four major competition areas.

Without him, there are too many e-sports clubs in South Korea. There are more than 12 first-tier clubs in the StarCraft SPL league alone, such as KT, Samsung, CJ, and SKT.

Because of the WRPO seat, it will also lead to the problem of the circulation of professional players under the major clubs. If the club does not get the seat qualification, the top players under its contract will not renew with you when the contract expires, but will choose to enter To a club that can play WRPO games.

This is another reason for the fierce competition for the WRPO joint qualification in the Korean division.

Comparatively speaking, the domestic e-sports circles are mixed when they see the latest news released by WRPO.

The good news is that the entry of Bluestar Technology Group integrates the entire e-sports industry, making this field more standardized, standardized, systematic and mature. If it succeeds, Bluestar Technology is the biggest beneficiary. At the same time, all e-sports There is no doubt that practitioners are the beneficiaries.

What is worrying is the qualification of the WRPO league seats. According to the disclosed information, the evaluation is based on four major evaluation standards. There is no domestic e-sports club that can meet the league standards.

If nothing else, the "guaranteed" bid for the starting seat of up to 5 million can shut out the existing e-sports clubs in the country.

...

A few days later, a QQ group is still discussing this matter. The members of the group are basically the big winners in the e-sports circle, the gods in the eyes of the players.

[@All members, have you read the latest news released by WRPO? ]

[Look. ]

[I read it earlier. ]

[In the end, it's the work of a big group. Once we enter the field, we will integrate and standardize, and then look at the team we have built... It's almost no different from playing the family. ]

[Nonsense, Bluestar Technology entered the market, and the richest man in the country is supporting, can you be unprofessional? ]

[If the team does not get the joint qualification, it is not eligible to enter the WRPO system to play games...]

[It's a club, a team is a team, don't confuse the affiliation. ]

[The starting joint qualification guarantee of 5 million, WE can't come up with so much money, other clubs don't need to mention it. ]

[We WE have already obtained the joint qualification. ]

[Fuck, Ge Ge is here? ]

[Sky bubbling... what? WE got the joint qualification? ]

[Fuck it, is it true? ]

[Sky: Yes, you may not believe it when you say it. People from Dell actually came to the WE base to find me and said they would sponsor our club. It would be a big deal. We are all stupid...]

[How much does Dell sponsor? ]

[Sky: Directly opened a sponsorship fee of 8.5 million for one year, signed a total of 17 million for two years, and also provided WE with peripherals under Dell’s brand. All computers and everything use their brand, and Dell provides hardware for free. ]

[Let me go, is 17 million real or fake? ]

[Sky: Haha to be honest, I still can’t believe it. ]

[Six six six...]

[Gei Ge is cheating, is this the strength of the double champion? ]

[xiaoT: WE also brought in sponsorship? Such a coincidence? wNv also received a sponsorship fee. Coca-Cola sponsored our team for 13.5 million, and it was signed for two years. However, the club was required to obtain the WRPO contact qualification. WE should be like this. ]

[Sky: Yes, the Dell company that sponsors us also has such a request. It seems that the WRPO competition is very popular. These sponsors are suddenly so favored, which must be directly related to the appearance of WRPO. ]

[I think it has a lot to do with Bluestar Technology Group. Maybe these big groups are selling Bluestar Technology’s face? ]

[Bluestar Technology Group has really completely changed the entire e-sports circle. Without the support of technology giants like Luo Sheng, it is impossible for these capitals to swarm. I even think a lot of capital may be selling Luo Sheng's face. ]

[Sky: The whole circle has benefited anyway, which is a good thing. ]

[Fuck, wNv also pulled in sponsorship? ]

[xiaoT: As far as I know, in addition to wNv and WE, the EHOME club has also drawn sponsorships. It seems that the sponsor is Sprite, and the sponsorship fee of more than 10 million yuan has been signed for two years. I don’t know about other teams. . ]

[666... ​​The best era in the e-sports circle is coming. ]
