Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

{Time: March 5, 2004}

{Location: Flower Planting-Jiangcheng}

Looking back at the past life of e-sports, before MOBA and battle royale games appeared, except for "CS", no game had more than 4 people. Even 1v1 games such as "StarCraft" and "World of Warcraft"

For the main game, the audience is more like a carnival for a few people.

If a single-player project is an absolute hard-core PK between experts, then a multi-player project is an excellent stage to create all kinds of miracles and all kinds of impossibilities. Although those were all things in the past life, Ning Zimo still remembers those things

A thrilling reversal scene.

On December 11, 2005, wnv achieved a shocking comeback in the third quarter of the WEG World Finals, losing first and then winning, and successfully reached the top of the world. It also achieved the first world championship in the history of men's CS.

In the 2009 Dota World Finals, Chinese team ftd player zsmj, with the full support of other ftd teammates, completed a shocking comeback in 7 minutes, winning the world's first championship for ftd.

Even if we don’t mention the championship, there are still many things that are worth recalling, such as we suffered unfair treatment due to being disconnected, but still completed a comeback from behind, and OMG base had 50 health but Nu still achieved a huge comeback, etc.

scene.

Those famous e-sports scenes, for the group of guys in front of them, this is something that will only appear someday in the future, and it will also be something that can only be widely spread after the mass base gradually expands.

But for Ning Zimo, who has experienced all this in his previous life, how to bring that day to the attention of the Chinese people in advance has become the most important thing for him in the e-sports industry.

"Wegame negotiates game licensing and organizes e-sports competitions and licenses on our behalf. At the same time, Wegame also carries a member selection and training mechanism similar to the English Football League system. Then Australia and the United States must pay enough attention to the e-sports industry before the government.

Take over the work related to the organization and supervision of the FA matches."

Ning Zimo looked at Hong Zhefu, the meaning expressed in his words was simple and clear.

Hong Zhefu was suddenly stared at like this, and he reacted after being stunned for a few seconds, "You... are you asking me to take on this important job?"

Ning Zimo nodded, "Of course, in 2001, as the leader of the flower planting national team, you led 14 team members to win 2 gold medals and 1 bronze medal at the WCG2001 Global Finals in Seoul, North Han City, and ranked in the national gold medal list.

Excellent result, second in the world.

You have already established a good foundation in the process of dealing with the officials. As long as you participate and take the corresponding position, this will mean a good and higher starting point for the future establishment and development of our e-sports ecosystem.

"

In Ning Zimo’s mind, a role similar to that of the Football Association in the e-sports ecosystem must have official participation. This organization is responsible for the registration, management, transfer, and event supervision of domestic professional e-sports teams, and promulgates professional leagues.

Regulations on management of participating clubs, personal code of conduct for professional players, etc.

The Ace League in the previous life was not legal in a sense. Ning Zimo wanted to find a way to turn this new e-sports league into a legal existence. Naturally, he needed the help of Hong Zhefu, a key figure who had established a good relationship with the authorities.

.

Besides, the most difficult period for e-sports in the previous life is about to come.

Although in November 2003 last year, e-sports officially became the 99th sports event established by Changhua. However, on June 4 this year, "E-sports World", which was launched on tv5 on April 4, 2003, will be banned by tv.

broadcast.

This is the only program in the history of TV to be banned, and Duan Xuan has become the only host to be banned. The programs that were also removed from the shelves include Travel TV's "Game Stuff" and "Travel Crazy"

, "Gamer", "Games" by Beiping TV, "Animation Information" by Modu Music Channel, "Player" by Bashu Economic TV, "Game Guide" by Qin Province TV, etc.

Originally, 2003 was the year when Zhonghua’s first-generation game content team produced fruitful results. It proved that it wasn’t that we couldn’t make good programs, but rather whether we dared to make them and whether they were allowed to be broadcast. They were related to games and sports.

It is related to youth and friendship. It is poetry and ballads that belong to e-sports. However, the most gorgeous rhetoric and the most beautiful musical scores were crushed by a piece of paper.

I don’t know how many of the older generation would have applauded that decree at that time, but I also don’t know how many of the older generation would regret it many years later because the next generation lost one job opportunity?

Or maybe, they still think stubbornly in their eyes.

Games are still heroin.

still think,

It's for your own good.

Thinking of this, Ning Zi couldn't help but talk in his heart, and the topic unconsciously turned to one side:

"Creativity is one of the most beautiful abilities of human beings. When people have various needs, naturally very creative people will create a corresponding thing to meet people's new needs.

In my opinion, animation, cartoons, games, sports, and e-sports are all derivative markets of people's spiritual needs. Just like the older generation likes to watch TV, the younger generation will naturally have no liking for those bloody plots.

They need different things. So, they set their sights on animations, cartoons, and games created by people with outstanding creative abilities to satisfy their spiritual needs.

For practitioners in these industries, walking in this industry is more than just a dream, it is a job where you can make a living. As long as work is mentioned, the corresponding industry can be called a market.

In the traditional culture of the flower-growing people, there is an important word called "golden mean." I don't read much, so my understanding of the mean is only literal. I personally think it is an ideology - impartiality, neither humble nor arrogant.

The most suitable place for this ideology to be used is called the market. Because when the market is derived, someone needs to pay, but the payment must have a corresponding return in order for the market to develop healthily.

If you want this market to develop healthily, you must have corresponding restrictions on everything. Whether it is people who really need it, people who are in the industry or even investors, and people who supervise the market, everyone must make corresponding contributions in the corresponding position.

and gain. This effort and gain must be an appropriate value in the middle, making others comfortable and satisfying yourself. The golden mean can be explained by a win-win situation here.

I think we have the potential to make e-sports an industry. Since it is an industry, there is bound to be a market. When establishing rules for this market, we must take into account the demanders, practitioners, investors and regulators.

Therefore, in my opinion, the e-sports industry that grows flowers can completely refer to the English Football League system to set all the rules of the interest chain. Let it develop in a long-term, stable, orderly and beneficial manner."

After Ning Zimo finished speaking, he looked at Hong Zhefu, "Ogilvy and Mather will take over Wegame to establish an e-sports league in China. The model will be set with reference to the role of the FA in the English Football League system. This will be a quite huge project. It

It takes time and people to implement it. Especially the corresponding role of the Premier League, someone must take the lead."

Ning Zimo stared at her, but what he mentioned made her feel numb.

Although he knew that it would be a huge project, Hong Zhefu still nodded after the heat in his mind gradually dissipated.

"I'll do it!"

"Come on!"

"I'll do it!!"

"Okay! Come on!!!"

Their eyes met, and Ning Zimo saw Hong Zhefu, who was staring at him, slowly stand up.

He didn't have too many surging expressions, and he didn't even have any unnecessary movements.

"There is always a group of people who want to overcome all obstacles and move forward. If it is not us, then someone else will definitely do it, but we hope that that group of people is ourselves. Because no matter what the road ahead is, I am the one who tried earlier, and I also

You can know the results earlier.”

There are two ways to reach the end of the dream, but this group of people chose the most direct way.

Ning Zimo took a long time to prepare before taking a deep breath:

"Well, since you are willing to take the responsibility, I will complete the complete plan for you!"

Fingers flashed across the air, and Ning Zi silently clicked on Chen Dong and Hu Binguo, "After the acquisition of Ogilvy and Mather, in addition to continuing the original sales of games through offline channels, the entire company has deployed more personnel to devote more energy.

To help organize the event. No matter what experience you have in the past, Hong Zhefu's first two partners are you."

"Um!"

Chen Dong and Hu Binguo looked at each other and didn't think too much. They just nodded in response with a firm tone and a strong voice.

Ning Zimo also nodded and continued: "Starting next year, we will officially establish various Wegame leagues. We will prepare 8 teams in the country and open three competitions: StarCraft, Warcraft and CS. They will be divided into spring and summer.

Competition, and then set aside time for international competitions in the second half of the year so that players can participate in international competitions. The three competitions have a tentative fixed prize of 5 million, combined with tickets, peripherals, and sponsors to share the investment in the activities.

I will provide you with the corresponding Internet technical support team to help build the website and management system, and let law firms and accounting firms provide help and supervision, and you can solve people's problems.

In the second year of the league, the number of teams to be established will be expanded to 12 depending on the situation, and a secondary league will be set up to add a promotion and relegation system. The secondary league will set a fixed bonus of 2 million, and then there will also be corresponding tickets, peripherals, and sponsors

's share."

Hong Zhefu reacted quickly, pointed to the other three people and asked: "Boss, do you want them to organize the club?"

Ning Zimo nodded: "We can refer to the Premier League club model to form several club companies, and then let several companies invest and operate directly in the market. I own Panda Pictures, Luban, Coldplay, and Starting Point 4

companies will be the first batch of investors. Ali Baba will have Taobao, and the European Bing company will also participate as a foreign investor. We will accompany you to be the one who eats the crabs.

"

Turning to look at Pei Le, Ma Tianyuan and Chen Yu, Ning Zimo smiled and winked at them and said:

"We will then select three suitable club managers. If you are willing, can you personally lead the three teams as club managers? Then Wu Zhenyu's Coldplay Technology's [Coolplay Platform] will promote e-sports competitions in the Internet cafe environment.

, as the official event promotion of Ogilvy, initiates a hierarchical open competition system based on Internet cafes and regions.

The promotion work of this set of amateur competitions will be endorsed by wegame, and will be promoted by [Cool Play Platform] to more than 30,000 Internet cafes in Zhonghua through push methods. [Cool Play Platform] currently occupies more than 98% of the Internet cafe market in Zhonghua. If this set is used,

The rollout of the model, supplemented by Wegame's user rating model, will be very convenient for the organization and statistics of various events."

Wu Zhenyu's eyes widened. He wanted to say something, but Peile and the others pushed him back to the bench.

"We picked up!!!" the three of them shouted in unison.

Finally, Pelle also said, "The three of us will also study more about the operation plan of the Premier League Entertainment Department, and will come up with a feasible plan for the club as soon as possible."

"I will also go with Chen Dong and Hu Binguo to learn more about the Premier League's operational plan, and come up with a complete set of competition and league operational plans as soon as possible based on your suggestions." Hong Zhefu nodded affirmatively again.

Seeing that the opinions could be unified so quickly, Ning Zimo was in a good mood.

"Since you are willing to pay, we will embark on a journey in the e-sports industry together. No matter whether the road ahead is a smooth road or windy, frosty, snowy and rainy, with guys like you joining us, this road is destined to never be lonely."

Youth and passion drive people to move forward fearlessly.

Even if it is a stepping stone, there will always be people who will follow you.

From my heart, I respect you.

/*

In the 21 years of e-sports, too many people have dedicated themselves to it. Originally, we could not have to be so tired, but it was restricted by some people's vision.

However, it is there today and tomorrow, and everyone is participating in it. I would like to dedicate this chapter to all the pioneers who have devoted themselves to the free market and the pioneers of the barbaric era of e-sports.

Respect you,

Respect us.

The e-sports pit has been dug.

Next, it’s time to go back to the original route.
