Chapter 374 WCG Competition! ! !

The WCG "Counter-Strike" competition champion prize money is 500 million US dollars, "Red Alert" champion prize money is 100 million US dollars.

So many bonuses naturally attracted gamers worldwide!
Many people have also discovered business opportunities since then, because WCG is held every year, which means that there are huge bonuses to be won every year!In addition, there are some games that also have a lot of money.

All kinds of game clubs have flourished since then!
The term "professional gamer" has also gradually become familiar and accepted.

The Glory Group built a hemispherical glass building in Los Angeles as the WCG competition venue. There are competition halls for multiple game events inside, which can accommodate a total of about 3 spectators!
This building is called the "Hall of Glory". Not only is it used as a competition venue, but the team that wins the competition will be recorded in the Hall of Glory for the world to admire! !
Presumably, the "Hall of Glory" will be the place that every professional player dreams of!
After the wcg competition officially started, everyone who came here for the first time was amazed!

Technology, fashion, games, cosplay and other elements fill the whole place. In addition, the magnificent architectural design is even more impressive!
Each country selected 3 strongest teams to compete for the top [-] of the former wcg!
This is not only about the glory of each game team, but also the glory of every country and nation, so this wcg competition is more touching and attracts more attention!

For this WCG competition, Li Zetian sent people to cooperate with TV stations from all over the world, and authorized them to broadcast the rights for free!

Regardless of the fact that it was a free license, others didn't necessarily need it. The people Li Zetian sent talked about it, and it took a lot of effort to reach a cooperation.

No way, this kind of large-scale game competition has never been held before, and the TV station is afraid that the broadcast of the WCG game will affect their ratings.

In addition, Li Zetian still hopes to promote the WCG competition through these TV stations, and vigorously promote e-sports, "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert"!In this way, it is actually an advertisement in disguise! !

Today's game industry has not yet matured. If it reaches the popularity of "League of Legends", TV stations still want to get free broadcast authorization?Oh, no way! !

At this time, almost all TV stations were shocked by the luxurious and spectacular scene of this WCG game!
"A game competition is held like the World Cup, it scares me!"

"Haha, this wcg competition is really amazing. Such a lively and sensational competition will definitely cause a big sensation. This time, our TV station has won the free TV broadcasting rights, and it has made a lot of money!!!"

"Hehe, our TV station also got the right to broadcast TV for free!"

"It seems that the WCG competition is going to be popular! The Glory Group and the Flamingo Company really spent their money, not counting the value of this 'Hall of Glory' building. Just holding this competition may cost hundreds of millions of dollars." ?!!"

The media from all over the world were astonished and surprised.

"The competition venue can be called an architectural classic. The hemispherical glass building is full of technology!"

"There are so many beauties in cosplay games, and many game companies are taking this opportunity to promote new games here! In my opinion, this is not like a game competition, but more like a game carnival held by Flamingo Company! There are so many players, there are huge crowds , It's really lively!"

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the "Counter-Strike" game competition began.

In the first game, the "BJ Team", one of the three major teams in China, played against the "Angel Team", one of the three major teams in the United States.

5v5.

The horn of battle has sounded!
Each team entered a room, and each room was equipped with soundproof glass to prevent interference from external sounds!

In the auditorium, everyone can watch every move of the players through the glass.

After the game started, game fans from China and the United States began to cheer for their favorite teams!
"Come on, Team BJ, kill Team Angel!"

"The BJ team is invincible in all battles!!!"

"Team BJ is invincible!"

There are quite a few people who came here from China, and there are also many foreign students and Chinese-Americans who are also cheering for the Chinese team.

However, this is the United States, so there are naturally more Americans, and their calls are naturally louder on the field.

"Come on, Team Angel!"

"The Angel team is the most powerful, kill the BJ team!"

……

When the game is in progress, the large LCD screen can see the game picture.At the same time, there are two game commentators, one male and one female.

With the development of the game industry, game commentary will gradually become a legitimate and long-term occupation, just like sports commentators.

However, because there is no publicity channel at present, the game commentary is useless.

As long as the internet speed increases and netizens can watch videos online, then game commentary will become popular.

Let’s talk about the "League of Legends" in the previous life. I don’t know how many commentators there were. Among them, there are many popular people. They have become stars in the game industry, worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions!Of course, this also has a lot to do with the live broadcast software. Various live broadcast platforms have gathered a lot of popularity for them.

With the current technical level, it is impossible to make a mobile live broadcast in a short time, but PC live broadcast software is possible.

Li Zetian sat in the VIP room and watched the game, frowning slightly, "The American Angels team's technical level is a bit higher than that of the BJ team."

A middle-aged man standing behind Li Zetian, he is the CEO of Glory Group, Yan Tiangong, said: "It is true, the United States has a mature club management model, and the level of players trained is naturally higher. And China The clubs over there are still in the groping stage, and because of economic conditions, family and other factors, they don’t get the best training! On the Battle.net platform, the players of “Counter-Strike” in Europe and America are generally higher than players from other countries. However , The Chinese player base is relatively large, and many very talented players have emerged. If they are well trained in the future, they will definitely be able to achieve good results in the wcg! This year's wcg "Counter-Strike" champion, I am more optimistic about the United States The game team on the side."

"Which country will the winner of "Red Alert" probably belong to?" Li Zetian asked.

The CEO of Glory Group replied: "There is a high probability that it will belong to South Korea. Korean players seem to be very talented in "Red Alert"!"

Li Zetian was slightly taken aback. In his previous life, South Korea was a big country of games, especially real-time strategy, such as "StarCraft", "Warcraft" and so on. South Korea has won the wcg champion many times! "Red Alert" is also a real-time strategy game. It seems that South Korea really likes to play this type of game.

However, when it comes to real-time strategy games, Chinese players are not bad, and a large number of game masters have emerged one after another, and they have also won the championships of "StarCraft" and "Warcraft" on WCG.

It's just embarrassing now, whether it's "Counter-Strike" or "Red Alert", the game teams in China are weaker than those in other countries.

Li Zetian pondered for a while, and said to Yan Tiangong of the Glory Group: "The Chinese team's performance is too bad. It's not only their face that's lost, but also the face of China and all Chinese! In this way, the Glory Group will fund the establishment of a club and build its own game team!"

Yan Tiangong of the Glory Group frowned, and persuaded: "Mr. Li, I think this is inappropriate. The Glory Group is the organizer of the wcg. If we build a team by ourselves, it will inevitably lead to gossip, saying that we are both referees and players. It is unfair and will seriously question the authority and fairness of WCG!"

Li Zetian nodded repeatedly when he heard the words, "Yeah, you're right! We can't lose the big because of small things, wcg is the key! If players question the authority of wcg, wcg will lose its meaning. At this time, other The game company is bound to take the opportunity to add insult to injury and create another game competition to replace wcg."

"Well, that's right!" Yan Tiangong of the Glory Group nodded.

Li Zetian said: "Okay, game team, we won't build it ourselves, but we can still support it in certain aspects."

Yan Tiangong of the Glory Group nodded to express his understanding. Glory Internet cafes spread all over the world, especially in mainland China. help.

Li Zetian then turned his head to look at the screen.

It's only been a year, and the current professional gamers are really fucking perverted. Li Zetian feels that he is no longer a match for these people.

After taking a sip of water, I suppressed my shock.

Li Zetian thought to himself that he is still a small master in "StarCraft". When the game is released in the future, he will show these game masters his skills and tactics, especially tactics. 6d out of Gouchi Kuaigou, In a wave, airborne golden beetles or hidden knives attack farmers, and the protoss secretly build forts in opponents' homes, oh, oh, blind their eyes!

Not long after, the match between Team BJ and Team Angel was over, and as expected, Team BJ was defeated by Team Angel.

The Chinese in the auditorium sighed.

"Oh, it's not that the BJ team can't do it, it's just that the Angel team is too strong! I heard that the champion seed of this year's WCG "Counter-Strike" is the Angel team!"

"Yeah, if you let BJ stand in the team and compete with teams from other countries, you will definitely win!"

"It's best to abuse the little RB and Bangziguo's team, that would be great!"

"Hehe, it's a must! On the Battle.net rankings, there aren't many masters from Little RB and Bangziguo!"

"..."

Under the discussion of everyone, BJ stood in the team and left the stage sadly.

In fact, Li Zetian didn't just come to watch the competition, but mainly to see the grand occasion of the wcg held this time, whether it is hot or not, whether it is a sensation or not, and whether it will have a big impact!

Right now, it seems that this WCG has all met Li Zetian's psychological expectations.

China's CCTV-3, Britain's BBC, America's ABC, Fox and other TV stations have televised the WCG, and the number of viewers around the world is increasing, exceeding 2000 million.

Although it can't compare to the World Cup, but WCG is the first large-scale global game competition, and it is the first national hegemony competition. It is already very good to achieve such results now.Li Zetian was already satisfied.

It was too late, and Li Zetian had to go home, so he only watched one game before he left.

Back home, Yu Jingqiu and others were watching the live broadcast of WCG TV.

"You're back." Seeing Li Zetian come back, Yu Jingqiu got up and walked forward, took off his coat, and took out a pair of slippers.

Li Zetian nodded with a smile, and kissed her on the forehead, "Yeah!"

Yu Jingqiu smiled and said: "This wcg is very successful and lively. From the TV, the Hall of Glory is crowded with people, shoulder to shoulder!"

Li Zetian said: "Hehe, if it's just a competition, I'm afraid it won't achieve this effect. After all, there are only two games, "Counter-Strike" and "Red Alert". So I added cosplay and made it a game carnival. We specially invited some celebrities who like to play these two games to watch the game!"

Yu Jingqiu smiled and said, "You have so many ideas, you made a boring game so interesting."

dull? ? ?

Li Zetian couldn't help smiling wryly, speechless.

Well, for those who don't like to play games, it's really boring, but for those who like to play games, it feels very exciting. Every outstanding operation in the game will cause the players to scream and cry! ! !
Li Zetian was sitting on the sofa in the lobby, and the first round of the WCG competition had just ended.

"Dad, I want to form a game team to play games!" William suddenly looked at Li Zetian and said.

Li Zetian was stunned for a moment, touched his little head, and said: "You are still young, only 10 years old, what kind of games are you playing!"

William said stubbornly: "No, I want to fight!!"

After speaking, he stuck to it, holding Li Zetian's arm with both hands, looking at his father with a pair of small eyes of hope.

"Playing games is a waste of time. Your main task now is to study and study. How can you play games?" Li Zetian said with a straight face.

William curled his lips and said, "Dad, it's okay for others to say that. How dare you say that? You started the largest game company in the world!"

"Hehe, is it itchy?"

"Not itchy!"

William stuck out his tongue at Li Zetian, got up immediately, hid behind Yu Jingqiu, and said pitifully, "Mom, look, Dad is going to hit me!"

"You are naughty, kid! I don't know how to learn from your sister!" Yu Jingqiu scolded with a smile.

"My sister was playing games in my father's study, and she didn't let me play, so she kicked me out!" William immediately reported, "Dad, Dad, my sister played games with your Battle.net account and lost a lot of games. Lost a lot of Battle.net points!"

"Damn!!!" Li Zetian was furious when he heard the words, and immediately walked towards the study.

"Youran, you little girl, stop now!!!"

When playing games, Li Zetian didn't bother to cheat, nor did he bother to score his Battle.net points.Li Zetian ran and yelled, his heart was bleeding, the Battle.net points I managed to score, this girl lost to me.

Upstairs in the study, Xiao Youran was startled when she heard her father's voice, and quickly exited the game and turned off the phone.

Immediately, he pretended to take out a book and read it there, and when he saw Li Zetian coming in, he couldn't help saying: "Father, what did you say just now, he is reading a book seriously..."
