Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Saturday, September 10.

This morning is a routine meeting to manage compensation, but this time there is nothing new to watch.

Since He An posted the long Weibo explaining the deep meaning of "Struggle", this game has entered a period of rapid growth, whether it is word of mouth or sales.

After "Struggle" was sealed as a masterpiece, all the UP masters on the island of Eli opened the live commentary of "Struggle". Although most of the UP masters have only updated one or two episodes due to time problems, some big UP The effect of bringing fans is very scary. It rushed to the homepage of the website in a short time and won millions of views.

Although there are many cloud viewers, there are many people who watch videos to buy games.

People who buy games also have different mentalities.

Some people think that although they have watched it, they can still get a better experience by playing it in this form;

Some people think that it does n’t matter whether you play it or not, but this classic game must be bought and +1 for your own game library;

Others think that every choice people make is to vote for the world they prefer. If you like a game, a movie, or a book, you have to support it in real money. More and more people support this kind of work.

If you think a thing is good, but do not support it, then there will be fewer and fewer such things in the future, and do n’t complain.

In the same way, I feel that something is good, and support it to make this good product more and more. This credit belongs to all the supporters. Even if it is just a tap water, it can be regarded as its own meager power.

In addition, the official game platform is also making every effort to promote "Struggle".

Hu Xianbin and others are also preparing for the English version, which will be sent overseas.

Because the game itself is of a foreign background and speaks in English, and the characters in it are also foreign faces, so for overseas players, it should also have a good acceptance.

Of course, no one knows whether overseas players will like this theme before it is actually launched, and whether overseas players can understand the meaning of this without analysis.

But there is always no harm in trying it. It is better to sell more copies.

"Better Tomorrow" can be successful overseas, and "Struggle" certainly has a chance.

For these, Pei Qian has no choice.

Can't control it!

Players are determined to buy it, and the official is recommended to recommend it. What can we do?

If the game is dying in domestic sales and the word-of-mouth crashes, then Pei Qian can persuade Hu Xianbin not to publish the overseas version and directly admit the failure of the game; but now the game is a fire in the country, Hu Xianbin wants to send an overseas version to try it, Pei Qian also has no reason to disagree ...

This is very stiff.

Pei Qian now feels that he seems to have fallen into a reverse Tacitus trap.

The so-called Tacitus trap refers to what Tacitus said when evaluating a Roman emperor: Once the emperor becomes an object of hate, no matter whether he is doing good or bad, it will cause people to hate him.

And Pei Qian is facing a reverse Tacitus trap: Once Tengda is a manufacturer that everyone likes, then whether it is good or bad, it will cause people to love it ...

Of course, Tengda can't do real bad things, because the system is constrained, it can't cut corners and fill it up, and must ensure quality. At the same time, the price fluctuates up and down within the range matching the quality.

Therefore, Pei Qian can only think of some Sao routines to dissuade everyone as much as possible, but under the effect of this reverse Tacitus trap, everyone has interpreted these Sao routines as something else ...

This makes people very tired.

...

After the meeting, Pei Qian immediately rushed to the vast city center of the city center, because today will be the official day of the first GOG Global Invitational Tournament!

Before, Pei Qian was a little bit overwhelmed by the "Struggle", so he didn't have time to see the venue after finishing the layout.

But it doesn't matter if you don't look at it. Anyway, this competition is mainly to burn money. For Pei Qian, the progress is guaranteed.

Before going to the competition venue, Pei Qian checked the game schedule sent by Wang Xiaobin over the phone.

A total of 16 teams participated in this competition, 8 teams in China and 8 teams abroad.

This ratio is not very scientific, but after all, the preparations are relatively hasty this time, and this is the only way.

Foreign teams are the oldest e-sports teams selected. These teams have more financial resources, more scientific management, and stronger team members.

Those who are too culinary will not be invited, and the game may be unappreciative by then.

Inviting foreign clubs is mainly to ensure that the game has a certain degree of attention around the world. After all, most players will still give priority to supporting teams in their own countries or regions.

The domestic team accounts for half, mainly to ensure the enjoyment of the game.

In layman's terms, the domestic team is responsible for the adjustment, and the foreign team is responsible for counting.

Because the number of teams has doubled compared to the previous game, the time of the game will naturally be extended accordingly.

September 10 to September 13 is the first round of the group stage;

September 15 to September 18, is the second round of the group stage;

From September 20 to September 21, it is the quarterfinals;

From September 23 to September 25, it is the semifinals, third place and finals.

Starting from the quarterfinals, all are BO5.

More than two weeks, three weekends, the entire schedule can be completed, basically leaving a break in the middle of each round of competition, although only one day.

As for why this is so, of course, it is because Pei Qian must solve the bonus problem of the game before September 30.

If the game is dragged to next month, how to deal with this bonus? Are you still losing this cycle?

However, after this schedule was announced, most players were quite satisfied.

For 16 consecutive days, only 14, 19, 22 of these three days rest, high-intensity whole life, look cool once!

Of course, if the game develops to a very large scale in the future, if the semifinals and finals have to change cities and venues, then it is normal for the semifinals and finals to be separated by one week. By the weekend, ensure the attendance of the venue.

But this is really painful for the audience to wait a week for a game.

In short, Pei Qian and the players are quite satisfied with this schedule.

Ten minutes later, the venue for the game arrived.

In Beijing, Yuanda Tiandi is the second largest shopping mall after Huanyu Tianjie, and it is different from Huanyu Tianjie in that it has many large multi-function halls, which are enough to host large-scale competitions.

This time I rented the largest multi-purpose hall in Yuandatiandi, occupying the entire top floor, with a daily rent of 30,000. Although it is cheaper than the big shopping malls in first-tier cities, in Beijing, this price is still most All felt discouraged.

This multi-purpose hall on the top floor has an area of ​​4,500 square meters and a height of 12 meters. It can accommodate up to 1,800 people. Yuandatiandi itself is in the most prosperous area of ​​Beijing. There are subway stations directly connected to the underground, and the transportation is convenient. Playing field.

The decoration work for the venues is mainly on the main stage. Preparations have been started as early as a month ago, and they are now all completed.

Pei Qian got off the car in the square outside Yuanda Tiandi, and when he looked up, he saw the huge posters hanging on the Yuanda Tiandi building.

The above are a few GOG's iconic heroes, and the words of GOG's first Global Invitational Tournament. Of course, these heroes also include the popular heroes such as Modist and Ruan.

Pei Qian looked at Modistre on the poster somewhat helplessly, feeling that the stalk could not pass.

In the future, as GOG spreads all over the world, I am afraid that you can see the image of Mordest no matter where you go.

From the entrance to the venue, there are related elements around the entire route as a guide. There are elements such as the battle flags of various teams and large original paintings of various heroes. As long as the audience follows these elements, they can smoothly come to the competition venue and check the tickets Admission.

The fare was also set very low this time. Even the final day did not exceed 100 tickets. After all, Pei Qian was originally spending money. The lower the ticket, the better.

Of course, the measures to prevent scalpers still have to be adjusted. After all, the lower the ticket price, the more likely it will be targeted by scalpers. With information such as the TPDb website and Tengda account data, you can maximize the screening of scalpers.

At the same time, the tickets are all real-name systems and cannot be resold. If something fails, the ticket can be refunded. Other people go to the official channel to pick up the leak and do not allow private transactions.

Pei Qian sat in the back row of the stadium very low-key with the crowd that was entering, preparing to see the situation of this GOG Global Invitational Tournament.

But this time, Pei Qian's mood was relatively relaxed.

Because I didn't expect much from this game, it doesn't seem to matter whether it's fire or not, and it won't affect the settlement anyway.

The structure on the main stage is unconsciously reminiscent of the layout of Moyu Internet Cafe 3.0 e-sports life hall.

Obviously, Xiao Peng has been conducting Internet cafe competitions in the operation of the e-sports life museum, and has accumulated a lot of valuable experience, which can be used in this global invitation tournament.

Above the main stage is a super-large screen used to display the game screen, and on both sides of the large screen are two long screens used to display the team's heroes and lineups.

There is also a small screen in front of the players, which is used to photograph the expression of each player.

At this time, the game has not officially started, so Pei Qian took out his mobile phone and checked the status of each platform.

The domestic live broadcast platform has opened a special live broadcast room for the GOG Global Invitational Tournament. No matter it is a crooked live broadcast or ZZ live broadcast, several large-scale live broadcast platforms, the popularity of the GOG Global Invitational Tournament has already burst.

Because GOG has held an invitation tournament for domestic teams before, and ZZ Live has hosted an entire competition. GOG has already gained a high degree of popularity in the entire live broadcast circle. Now the global invitation tournament is open, as long as a little publicity, The audience will flood in.

After all, this is a grand carnival.

In addition, Qianyang Games has already contacted foreign live broadcast platforms in advance to conduct a global live broadcast of this global invitational tournament.

Although the heat abroad is not as good as that in China, it is also not low.

On the one hand, it is because GOG ’s overseas publicity offensive has been fully rolled out. After the multi-faceted man is online, this game has entered the horizon of overseas players. Both end game players and mobile game players are already very familiar with GOG; There are eight overseas established clubs participating in the Global Invitational Tournament, which will naturally cause discussion in foreign e-sports circles.

In addition, the game also specially produced the promotional video of the first GOG Global Invitational. UU reading www.uukanshu.cco

In the promotional video, Lin Wan appeared as the director of Go Game and the person in charge of GOG's overseas operations. His fluent English and confident expression made him a lot of fans in GOG circles.

"The GOG Global Invitational Tournament is by far the grandest GOG event and will also be the grandest e-sports event. Professional players from all over the world, a total of sixteen teams, will gather in Jingzhou to compete for the highest ever Of e-sports bonuses. "

"Tengda's aim has always been to go all out and achieve perfection. We invested a lot of money in this global invitational competition to prove our determination to promote e-sports activities and build an e-sports ecosystem.

"Here, I make a commitment to GOG players all over the world. In the future, we will strive to build GOG into the strongest e-sports game. Please witness with us!"

Lin Wan's expression on the screen is natural and full of confidence.

But the netizens of the extranet all understood the deep meaning behind this passage.

Obviously, this is declaring war on ioi!
