Chapter 267 "Principal Liu" in the E-sports World

The Oriental Sports Center is located on the bank of the Huangpu River. The exterior of the building is composed of a series of arches arranged in an arrangement, like layers of waves washing on a gentle beach.

This is a comprehensive sports center where tennis, basketball, swimming and football are open to the public.

As early as last year, Yutu coordinated with the Shanghai Sports Bureau to rent a venue to build an e-sports arena.

There are no decent e-sports stadiums in China right now. Last year’s “League of Legends” was held in Sweden, but it wasn’t very good.

The connection kept disconnecting and reconnecting, and the game was once terminated.

It was postponed this year only because of the competition from "Honor of Kings". The annual revenue was not ideal, and many teams came here.

Fang Hong didn't make much money, do you think Tencent would value that few tens of millions of dollars?
Their strategy has shifted to mobile games, and they have made a lot of money from games like "Rhythm Master" and "Run Everyday".

Tencent only plays in favorable situations, which means they will value you if you are on your feet. As for unfavorable situations where you are half-dead, they will just wait and see.

You can tell from the fact that they launch dozens of mobile games a year that they only look at performance, not game content. They don’t care whether the players have feelings for the game or not. If it doesn’t make money, they will abandon it without a trace of mercy.

Of course, the two sides have had conflicts. Tencent accused Yutu of plagiarism, and Yutu accused Tencent of plagiarism. The two sides also sent each other lawyers' letters.

It was also a hot news at the time.

The gameplay of this kind of game is very similar, and it is copied from World of Warcraft. As for the hero design, Riot dare not copy it blatantly for fear of copyright infringement.

Tencent is not afraid, so it dares to copy blatantly.

But this game is dominated by Riot. If you copy others but they don’t, you won’t be able to see it overseas, which is very interesting.

For this global e-sports event in Shanghai, Yutu hired a professional planner to create this thing, and all the hardware and software facilities were outsourced.

If you can outsource it, do it yourself. If you can’t outsource it, do it yourself. Yutu will only check whether it is qualified or not. If it is unqualified, we will redo it. It’s that simple!
The technical staff was a team formed by Yutu itself, as was the planning team, but the planning took a year.

The main live broadcast site will be broadcast on Bilibili, and the "Heroes of Glory" client will open a direct channel.

That is, as long as players open the client, they can see a small window in the lower left corner. By clicking on it, they can watch the live events. It is very convenient.

This is the first time that the small broken station has launched the live broadcast business. It is not open to amateur live broadcasts for the time being, and is only available for the official live broadcast of "Heroes of Glory".

What I am afraid of is that the traffic pressure will be too great and unstable, causing disconnection, crash and freeze.

After all, this is an opportunity to attract traffic to the small site and also an attempt to enter the live broadcast field.

Videos are different from texts and pictures. They require a lot of bandwidth. If you want them to run uninterrupted and stably, you still need some skills.

It can also be broadcast on other online platforms, including Sina Weibo, Sohu, Migu, YY, Liujianfang, Duowan, 17173you, Youku, Tudou, , PPS, Super Player and other video, social and gaming platforms.

There are no restrictions or copyright limitations. You can broadcast it at will. Tencent and QQ can broadcast it. It is open to the entire network.

Live streaming platforms like Panda TV, Douyu, etc. are not available yet.

Overseas live streaming platforms include YouTube, Twitch and the Honor of Kings client.

Twitch is a video game streaming platform. It is currently the world's largest e-sports video platform and is currently a partner of Yutu.

But it was later acquired by Amazon.

"The dome is a screen with 15 display screens, 8 screens and 6 end screens. Through high-definition holographic projection technology, it can provide the audience with a 180-degree and 360-degree visual experience."

Li Min pointed to something that looked like a TV device hanging in the middle of the dome of the live broadcast hall.

Fang Hong and Liu Tianxian were right next to them, and there were a few people around them, all of them were planners, the people who planned this game.

At this time, they were in the backstage entrance area, looking at the live broadcast hall, which can be called the global live broadcast hall, and it is also where the audience watches the game.

The game hasn't started yet, but the audience is already checking in, and the venue can only accommodate 1 people.

It is easier to manage with fewer people, and there should be enough fire escape passages. The contestants also need rest areas, catering service areas, exhibition service areas, etc.

Along the way leading into the sports center, there are statues of Yasuo and other heroes such as Ice Girl.

There were also young ladies and brothers wearing cosplay costumes, playing the roles of various heroes, guiding the audience who came to watch the live broadcast.

Instruct them how to get to the e-sports stadium.

This is very fresh in this era and also in line with the ACG community of Bilibili. Passersby even took photos and posted them online: "Heroes of Glory is so sincere and the service is very thoughtful. I got lost and there are people like this to guide me."

Another person took a photo and posted: "At the sports center, I said I wasn't here to watch e-sports, but they gave me a Heroes of Glory card, which was pretty nice."

"."

Such posts are everywhere on the Internet, attracting a lot of attention from players.

The purpose is to build an ecosystem. For the purpose of promotion, we must come up with something to attract people's attention.

Liu Tianxian looked at the interior of the venue curiously. There were two groups of computers on the stage, five in each group, and a huge LED screen behind them.

In front is the audience seats, which are divided into VIP and ordinary areas. The VIP seats are located in front of the stage and can watch the game directly, while the ordinary seats form a semicircular area around the stage.

The entire venue is designed in a fancy way, giving it a sci-fi feel.

"gone!"

Fang Hong and a few others had already walked far away. Seeing that Liu Tianxian had not caught up with them and was still watching intently, he pulled her.

Liu Tianxian hurriedly followed up: "Nowadays, games can even be held in competitions, and they are so formal."

“This is not a game, this is e-sports!”

Fang Hong corrected, and then said to Li Min: "Now those teams are participating in the competition."

"The European teams are: M5, CLG.EU, SK; the North American teams are: TSM, DIG, CLG.NA; the Chinese teams are WE, IG, TPA; the Korean teams are NJS, AZF; the Southeast Asian team is SAJ, a total of 12 teams." Li Min introduced.

Among them, IG is the team of Xiao Wang, the son of Lao Wang, who entered this field last year.

TPA is the Formosa team, which was later acquired by Zhou Nai Cha, who also set up his own Mojie e-sports arena.

If you have money you can play whatever you want.

Thinking of this, Fang Hong asked Liu Tianxian beside him: "Do you want to buy a team for fun?"

"Why should I acquire a team? What's the use?" Liu Tianxian asked back.

"Just treat it as a hobby. When you don't want to play it anymore, you can sell it. Maybe you can even train a championship team, and everyone will respectfully call you 'captain'!" Fang Hong induced.

"I have absolutely no interest in this." Liu Tianxian waved his hand.

She has no interest in this thing at all, she just came here to see it for fun. As for spending money on it, that is impossible.

It’s better to buy two pieces of clothing and two bags.

Forget it. Fang Hong won’t force it. Anyway, Liu Tianxian missed a chance to be the "Principal". If he succeeds, he will definitely be the "Principal Liu" in the e-sports world!
In fact, Fang Hong wanted to do it himself. If he succeeded, his prestige would be very high, but he couldn't do it.

It was originally his game, and his end was to destroy the balance. Whether he won or lost, people would think of the shady dealings. He could only cultivate the ecosystem and let the market take the lead.

The two of them were just joking around, and everyone else was listening with a smile. Then someone introduced the rules of the game and the arrangements for food, clothing, housing and transportation.

The competition rules are divided into four stages: qualifying round, group stage, semi-finals, semi-finals and finals.

Taking the qualifying round as an example, 12 teams are divided into two groups to compete randomly, and the 6 winning teams will advance to the next round.

Let the six losing teams fight each other, and the two winning teams will advance to the quarterfinals!

This kind of competition system can allow some teams that have lost narrowly to revive. If they still can't win, it means you are not good enough. If you are not good enough, just practice more and try again next year.

Although the competition system cannot guarantee absolute fairness, it can guarantee relative fairness.

Each match is best of five!

In this case, the competition will last a long time, and will be played in the morning, afternoon and evening for three consecutive days.

The intensity of watching and playing is quite high, but the teams still get some rest time after the competition.

Not every game features the same team!

All accommodation and drinks for the participating teams are provided by Yutu and outsourced to Wanda Hotel.

E-sports competitions are not like sports competitions, where a country has dozens or hundreds of people in a team. There are 12 teams, and each team has 5 people, which means there are 60 people in total.

Add their coaching staff, and the total number of people in a team is 120. This is the stipulated standard of ten people.

It is impossible that you can arrange your relatives and friends to come and eat and drink for free, and still ask Yutu to pay. That is impossible.

The team will have to pay for the extra person themselves. The standard for a team is 10 people, and the extra person will not be provided for free.

In addition to these people, there are also about one to two hundred referees, technical teams, and service staff.

There aren’t too many people, they are all people doing acceptance and planning, and most of them are outsourced temporarily!

If it is successful, it will be held for a long time with many events every year. Wanda will be making a lot of noise in the future and not giving them money to make.

Several people have already walked to the players' rest area.

"This is IG's player lounge."

Li Min knocked on the door and it opened. He saw seven or eight people sitting inside, discussing tactics in front of the whiteboard.

Among them was a fat guy, PDD. When they saw someone coming outside the door, their eyes lit up. It was not Fang Hong’s eyes that lit up, but Liu Tianxian’s eyes.

Xiao Wang expressed his disdain, crossing his legs and looking very arrogant.

"This is our President Fang."

Li Min introduced them, and then said, "That's Xiao Wang, their captain."

I won’t introduce the others, little Karami!
"Oh!" Xiao Wang said indifferently.

"Let's go."

Fang Hong closed the door for them, then left with a group of people, not bothering to pay attention to this rich second-generation who acted like he had 2.58 million.

Xiao Wang is very arrogant now, and he did not restrain himself after being taught a lesson many times.

"Wow, the Fairy Sister is so beautiful, her skin is so white, and she is so tall." Someone became excited.

They are all young and energetic people, and they are naturally excited when they see their favorite beautiful star.

"Captain Wang, what is the relationship between the Fairy Sister and the principal?" someone asked Xiao Wang.

"What else could it be? He was treated as the godfather before and now he is treated as the principal." Xiao Wang spoke in a very arrogant manner.

Support? !
This word immediately popped up in these people's minds, and they felt bad instantly. They felt cold in their hearts, as if their filters were broken.

None of the negative information was substantiated, but Xiao Wang said that it gave people an inexplicable sense of trust.

That’s where their social class is!
"I also called Liu Tianxian 'wife', and my filter was shattered to the ground." This is what PDD said.

After closing the door, Fang Hong and the others did not discuss Xiao Wang, as if they were pretending he did not exist.

Liu Tianxian had no social interaction with Xiao Wang, so she treated him as a stranger.

Fang Hong didn't know that Xiao Wang was talking nonsense behind the scenes. Even if he knew, he wouldn't be surprised, because this guy was famous for being outspoken and saying all kinds of nonsense.

And they are all profit-oriented!
Don’t believe in the Disciplinary Inspection Committee of the entertainment industry. When he was hanging out with stars like Dabaobee, Chen Chichi, Da Mi Mi, and Qianzi, who did he inspect?

He praises so many Internet celebrities. Does this mean he looks down on the entertainment industry? He has offended too many people and they don't tolerate him.

Panda Live has offended all the investors!

It's just that I've reached such a high level that I can come into contact with celebrities. If you say I know some inside information, of course I do, but it's not that exaggerated.

They also watched a few foreign teams, they were all pretty normal, they didn't have any filters against Chinese people and celebrities.

The live broadcast hall was already full of audience seats, including both men and women, all young people.

The small live broadcast site also saw an influx of tens of thousands of traffic.

All of the traffic is directed through the client, as well as the users of the site. Other platforms such as YY Live and Sina Weibo are also broadcasting this event.

According to incomplete statistics, hundreds of thousands of people are watching it across the entire network. There is a time difference at night abroad, so there is a delay in data transmission.

Fang Hong and his team are in the control room, where there is a row of technicians sitting in front of computers, mainly to deal with various emergencies that may arise.

There are several large screens in the front, where you can see the situation of the live audience and the game.

The first game starts at ten o'clock in the morning.

The two teams had already walked out from the backstage, sat in their respective seats, put on their headphones and were ready.

Chinese team WE vs. European team CLG.EU.

There were cheers and conversations at the scene, which seemed a bit noisy, but the atmosphere was still warm.

It's not enthusiastic, no one is cheering, and the contestants don't feel any sense of honor even if they win.

"Okay, let's take a look. The game has now officially begun."

"."

There are three commentators, Xiao Cang, DC, and JY.
