There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

June eighth.

The weather is getting hotter.

On this day, many players still remember the advertisement of Linmu Workshop.

Forest Studio announced a more important news!

The games "Hero" and "DOTA" under Linmu Studio will hold a mid-year invitational tournament together!

To put it bluntly, this mid-year invitational tournament is a shortened version of the E-sports festival at the end of the year. Each country and region can only send one team, and then compete on the same stage to compete for the final championship.

But even the shortened version is exciting enough.

Because at the end of the year, the blockbuster first-party event of Forest Studio came ahead of schedule!

And it wasn't just this mid-year invitational that attracted attention.

Because of this mid-year invitational tournament, there is only one spot in the country.

So who will represent the country in the competition?

Linmu Studio also took this issue into consideration.

Before the mid-year invitational tournament, they will hold an online competition of the "place competition".

This event, as long as the player reaches a certain level, can participate.

The final champion team will represent China in the Mid-Year Invitational Tournament!

This is the audition representative team!

What's more, the purpose of this 'place competition' online competition is not only that, it also involves league places.

In the 'Quotation Competition' online competition, in addition to the championship, the top twelve teams will also become top league teams! Participate in the domestic league organized by Linmu Studio!

And the last 30 teams will become the teams of the secondary league and participate in the secondary league. The first place will also have the right to challenge for the last place in the top league. As long as they defeat them, they can enter the stage of the top league!

Therefore, this 'place competition' is a preview of the league. In the end, there are not only quota awards... but also bonuses!

A total of five million prize pools!

The champion can get two-fifths, the runner-up can get one-fifth, the third runner-up can also get 700,000, and the rest will be divided between the fourth place and five or six!

Although, many players are a little confused about the fact that the league will be unified in the second year mentioned by Linmu Studio in the announcement.

But the high prize pool.

The temptation of words such as the top league.

In an instant, the enthusiasm of the players was ignited, and the enthusiasm of the club was also ignited.

As soon as Linmu Studio opened the registration window, the teams flocked to it.

As long as they have a little ability, almost all players who can become a master have found someone to sign up to participate.

The game circle, which was originally calm, was instantly disturbed because of this 'place competition'.

Forest Workshop once again appeared in the player's field of vision.

certainly.

This 'place competition' and the follow-up league system are welcome, but there are also people who are not optimistic.

After all, something like a league has never been used in an e-sports event...

Some players and even industry insiders said that this thing is too difficult to do.

Let's not say anything else, the top league, and now the audition, if there is a team in the top twelve that is not a club.

what to do?

The team plays games every day, but in the end they didn't get the ranking and prize money. How can they live?

So some people are not optimistic about this model.

I think Linmu Studio takes it for granted...

They don't have any objections to the mid-year invitational tournament. They approve of this model. After all, holding a big competition can really increase the popularity of the game, and the prize money is also good. Most importantly, the holding time is short.

But the league system is indeed too abrupt and too long...

For some clubs, when they see the league, they are actually beating drums in their hearts.

Because according to Linmu Studio's vision, the league will have two seasons a year, and all top league teams must play full... In other words, they have to pay the salaries of the players for the entire season, and then there may not be any income.

The income of the club is mainly composed of two aspects.

Sponsored ads, and bonuses.

For sponsorship ads, if you don't know the popularity of the league, you are not sure if there are sponsors.

As for the bonus, it's even more vain... Who can guarantee that their team will definitely get the ranking?

but.

This is only a small part.

Most clubs still believe in Linmu Studio.

Otherwise, there would not be 42 teams wanting to participate in the league.

In fact, there is no league, and these clubs have to participate in some third-party events to make money, and some third-party events are not bad, the competition system is not long, and they can still get sponsorship.

But this is the first-party league organized by Forest Studio.

How could it not be possible to fail to get sponsorship in the first season, right?

The heat isn't that low, is it?

It's impossible!

At least at first... impossible.

They have all seen the grand e-sports festival held by Linmu Studio at the end of the year, and they understand the attraction of this studio's competition brand.

It must be no problem to get sponsorship at the beginning.

Earn money no matter what.

As for the back...

More on that later.

If there are no spectators, leading to the failure of the league...that's not what they consider.

They can run... just not play in the league.

Anyway, no matter what, it is definitely not a loss to participate in the first season!

This is their consensus.

So overall.

Although there are some different voices.

However, this Linmu Studio event still received a lot of attention, and there were also many supporters.

...

Forest studio.

Lin Yao looked through the player's comments, especially the negative ones, and then pondered.

Of course she knew that the league would be risky.

For example, relying on rankings to determine the top league places, some grassroots teams may face the risk that income cannot be guaranteed...

After all, the competition schedule is very heavy and there is no income. Some teams feel that they can't get the ranking, so they may give up the quota directly.

Lin Yao thought about it, she would allow the ranked team to give up their quota, and then let the next team make up.

Although... Lin Yao thinks this possibility is very small.

Because the possible premise of this is that the heat of the league is not enough and the attention is not enough.

In short, the entire event and the game were thrown away, to the point where sponsors and advertisers were not even willing to find teams to place ads... because they would lose money.

If things really turned out like this.

Lin Yao recognized it.

If "Heroes" and "DOTA", which are in full swing now, both rush, after the mid-year invitational tournament and the "place competition" foreshadowing, the league will still rush.

Then she resigned to her fate.

But in the previous life, it created the myths of S games and TI, and created the most successful MOBA game in history... Would it really be so vulnerable that no one would care about it?

Lin Yao didn't believe it.

So she gambled.

After all, to be the first to eat crabs is to take risks.

Moreover, she thinks that the probability of success is still very high, after all, she has the endorsement of what she has seen and heard in her previous life.

As for temporarily retaining the relegation competition system...

Lin Yao mainly wanted to give the dream chasing youth a chance, to give some benefits to the teams that participated in the league in the early stage and the teams that worked hard for the league.

Accumulate popularity by the way.

After all, the game has just started now, the risk of alliance is too great, and the seats cannot be sold at a high price.

As long as the popularity of the league is high enough and the value is high enough, the process of allianceization can be better promoted.

At that time, Lin Yao will expand the league seats and sell the expanded seats through bidding, but will not move the existing seats.

Whether the existing team transfers their quota or continues to operate the team, it is their own business. Anyway, the players will stay in the league, so there is basically no need to worry about it.

As for why after the alliance, the subsequent teams will charge seat fees.

This is actually very easy to understand.

The fact that alliances and competitions can be done is not only due to the operators.

In Lin Yao's previous life, if the LPL didn't have the hard work of old clubs such as Yusanjia, would it really be as popular as it is now? Is there such a size? no? So it is normal for newcomers to pay for those who have worked hard for the LPL before.

Same here.

"Hope everything goes well."

Lin Yao closed the webpage, and after thinking it over, she stretched vigorously.

next.

It was Nie Hui's business.

She just determined the general direction, and now she is not in charge of the competition, and if she is required to come, she will be exhausted...

She just needs to pay attention when the game is at a critical stage.

As for the rest of the time, the focus is still on game production...

right.

game.

Lin Yao put down her hands, sighed, and pulled the keyboard to continue the unfinished script of "The Witch".

But at this moment, the phone rang.

Lin Yao glanced at it, was stunned for a moment, then picked up the phone with a little surprise, and answered the call.

"Boss Lin!"

Just picked up the phone.

Zhang Jianghu's enthusiastic voice came.
