Huya Technology Co., Ltd. not only has a Huya live broadcast platform, but they also acquired all the shares of Riot Company.

Now the company also has a dedicated game department to run the game League of Legends.

It's already early June, and in a few months in September, a new World Finals, also known as "S3", will be held.

In the past two years, the League of Legends World Championship has really not received much attention.

Because this game is not very popular, and players in most countries and regions have no channels to watch the finals.

As for going to the game live, that's obviously thinking too much.

In the past two years, if there is one game that has attracted the most attention, everyone has to say Dota 2.

This game, which has also been in operation for two years, can be said to be born with an aura.

Dota is a game, needless to say how many players there are in the world, since CS cooled, Dota is undoubtedly the most popular game in the world, and no game can compare with it.

The player base is definitely calculated in 100 million.

Unfortunately, Ice Frog and Blizzard did not get along, and as a result, Dota was no longer updated. Ice Frog turned around and teamed up with Valve, the company that made the CS game, to create the game Dota 2.

It's a pity that because the hero models in the game are no longer allowed to use Blizzard's, the heroes in Dota 2 are weird.

Many veteran Dota players can't get used to it and slowly loses it.

But after all, the Valve company has a strong foundation, and this Dota 2 has just been launched, and it has spent a lot of money to promote it.

In particular, the annual finals, known as "TI" in the industry, were held in 2011 with a prize fund of $1.6 million!

At the time, it was really astronomical!

Never before has an esports tournament been able to offer such a high prize pool!

You know, in the past global esports competitions, the prize money of 100,200,000 US dollars is considered very high.

And the World Finals of Dota 2 directly raised the level to more than one million dollars!

At the time, the news was very sensational, and many people who had never played games had heard that there was a game that had millions of dollars in prize money.

Dota 2 has also become a very famous game in one fell swoop, that is, many people have not played Dota 2, but have heard the name of this game.

Every time Dota 2 is mentioned, it dawns on someone, "Oh, you mean that multi-million dollar game!"

This is the promotion of the event, and the influence is still very high.

Unfortunately, due to the limited hero model of Dota 2 itself, and the fact that it is too inconvenient to play, there are relatively few people who play Dota 2 in China.

And League of Legends took advantage of this gap to develop in China.

Both game types are the same, both are five-player competitive games, and the game modes are exactly the same.

In fact, it is not shy to say that League of Legends is actually a game mode copied from Dota 1. Of course, Dota 2 is also a game mode that is copied from Dota 1.

It can be said that all three are brothers, but Dota 1 and Dota 2 are half-brothers.

And League of Legends, at best, is an adoption.

The parent company of League of Legends, Riot Games is also a poor company, and the two founders started from scratch and started making this game in 0708, and it was not until 2010 that they were able to get their hands on it.

Therefore, the first global tournament of League of Legends was also held in 2011, and the prize money of the competition was also pitiful, only 99,500 US dollars.

It's not that there is one less "0", it is indeed only 99,500 US dollars......

In the same year, the first World Championship of Dota 2 was held, and the total prize pool was already as high as $1.6 million.

That's the gap.

The more than 90,000 US dollars is not the champion, but all the participating teams are distributed according to their rankings. The champion is 50,000, the runner-up is 25,000, the third place is 10,000, and the remaining points are four to eight.

With such a small prize money, not many teams are willing to participate.

What's more, at that time, there was no professional team in League of Legends at all. The focus of all esports clubs is on Dota 2.

Although Dota 2 has fewer players in China, there are really many professional players.

In the first Dota 2 World Finals, two Chinese teams entered the quarterfinals.

Team EHOME finished in second place, and IG also finished fifth.

The names "820", "430" and "357" should be remembered by old Dota players, and this is also a few well-known people among Dota professional players at the beginning, who have all transitioned to Dota 2.

Several of them are also the main players of EHOME and IG teams.

As for the Dota 2 World Finals held in 2012, the Chinese team was even better.

Among the top eight, there are five Chinese teams!

It can be said that the Huaguo team is invincible all over the world in Dota 2!

1st place, IG!

3rd place, LGD!

4th place, DK!

5th place, ehome!

7th place, tongfu!

2012 is the heyday of IG, the year of the rise of Dota 2 in China, and the year when the world confronts China. IG has won several championships in China, and it is inevitable to enter the peak and win the championship. Due to IG's championship and the opening of the national server, Dota 2 has been spread in China to a certain extent.

In comparison, League of Legends is much more pitiful.

Not only is there a huge difference in prize money, but even the results of the Chinese team are also pitiful.

In the first session, that is, S1, Huaguo did not have a team to participate in the global finals.

In the second session, two teams from Huaguo participated in this competition, IG and WE.

Both stopped in the quarterfinals and did not make it to the semi-finals.

This year, the third global finals will be held, and of course, this year's competition will be planned and organized by the game department of Huya Technology.

For this competition, Huya Technology also attaches great importance to it, because it will be the best time to promote the League of Legends game.

Since last year, the game League of Legends has actually been on fire, otherwise it wouldn't have cost so much money to buy Riot.

This year will be a crucial one.

Whether the game League of Legends can surpass Dota 2 in one fell swoop and become the most popular competitive game in the world depends on this year.

Therefore, Huya's side also studied it over and over again before coming up with a competition plan, after Hua Rou read it, she felt bottomless, and she still wanted to look for Wang Ye to take a look, and after getting Wang Ye's affirmation, she had confidence in her heart.

I have to say that the game department on Huya's side has also worked hard and is willing to spend money.

The prize pool is also set according to Dota 2, with a whopping $2 million!

This is definitely the standard of the world's top esports competitions, and it can be said that this amount of prize money is currently available for no game or tournament except for Dota 2 and League of Legends.

However, when Wang Ye saw the two million amount, he frowned.
