For the game "League of Legends", Andy was not a veteran player in his previous life, not even an ordinary player, but only to the point of understanding and familiarity.

But this did not prevent Andy from understanding the game's ability to make money to the point where it was so outrageous that Penguin couldn't accept that other shareholders would follow him, so he took a 100% stake in it.

One of the problems that makes Andy tangled is that the prosperity of an e-sports project is determined by the right time and place, and the low threshold, simple learning curve, and low technical weight of the game "League of Legends" itself are all necessary conditions for him to become popular.

But I have to say that if there is no strong publicity and operation of the penguins, the Celestial Empire market will not be so hot, Andy has no way of knowing, maybe it will become popular, but whether it is the speed or scale of the fire, it will be reduced.

After all, a penguin landing is enough to lower the threshold of the game many times over.

Let the penguin be the general agent of the Celestial Empire, Andy almost agreed at the first moment he heard the news, as for the penguin's desire to invest in the fist company, as Andy, who has always clung to the cash cow, can only be said to the penguin.

The reason why Penguin was able to easily get so many shares of Riot in the previous life is that Riot's group of technical nerds are too short of money, coupled with the insufficient estimation of the speed and scale of the popularity of the game "League of Legends", and cannot withstand the pressure brought by the rapid growth of users to the server.

And at the time, few companies noticed the potential of MOBA games for the future. As for the acquisition of DOTA, which is currently on fire, let alone penguins, even Andy thinks that this is an impossible task, and the copyright Nima is too scattered.

That's why Andy dug up the Dota god-level ice frog, ready to rebuild the Dota that has nothing to do with DOTA, but can be regarded as an upgraded version of Dota 2.

Riot Company, which has been taken over by Andy, will naturally not develop according to the original development trajectory of lack of money, since he knows how popular this game will be in the future, he will naturally not be stingy with sufficient funds for Riot to develop, lack of money is completely non-existent.

For the development of "League of Legends" in the Celestial Empire, so that the fat penguin will work harder to promote and operate this game, Andy will not completely break the penguin's thoughts, and directly return to the idea of investing in shares.

In Andy's words to Riot CEO Brandon Baker, he is in the early stages of the company's development, and he will never raise money, but in the future, if the company wants to raise money, Penguin has priority.

If you want the horse to run, you naturally need the horse to have hope first, and then you will work harder when you are full...

Riot, which had been dormant for a long time under Andy, once again caught his attention, so he visited Riot near Santa Monica Beach again.

This time, the exterior of Riot has changed slightly, the vegetation is more lush, and the environment has become more secluded.

Passing through the entrance hallway, a statue of Anne and her Tibbs stands at the entrance to the company, the bear is not as cute as in the game, and roars as if it is rushing towards Andy.

"I love this statue!" Andy walked over and looked at Tibbs, who was taller than him, with satisfaction, then took out his phone and turned around to take a photo with the statue, smiling at Tom Cardwell, one of the founders, while uploading it to his Instagram account.

Tom smiled and pointed to a white wall in the hall and said, "In the future, we also want to design a family portrait of the game character in pencil drawing on this wall, and if there are fans to visit in the future, I think it will be very popular." ”

"Well, that's a good idea, I'll ask Marvel's toy company to contact you, and first make a doll figure of a hero and put it in the exhibition hall, it's still a bit empty here... Andy said as he looked around at the somewhat empty hall.

"Then thank you boss, boss, this way, please, the Bilgewater bar has been built and has been in operation for a long time. ”

Andy smiled and walked towards the courtyard, looked at the pirate bar that appeared in front of him, and couldn't help but smile: "Do you like it here?"

"Loved it very much, the staff were very grateful for your generosity and caring owner. Tom said with a smile, not that he was slapping Andy's ass, but that he was telling the truth.

"That's good. Andy smiled and pushed open the wooden door of the bar and walked inside, facing the dim lighting, wooden tables and chairs, mountains of rum bottles, and worn-out charts on the walls, depicting the treasures of the waters of Bilgewater and the Isle of Shadows, seemingly crumpled by the flooding. It's like entering a real pirate bar.

When Andy and his party came in, there were seven or eight employees sitting in the bar like pirates, raising their glasses and drinking, and when they saw their Tom boss walking in with them, they didn't pay attention to it, but soon someone recognized that it was the big boss coming, so they stood up to greet them.

Andy didn't care, but had a drink with a few people, chatted a few words, and continued to wander around.

It's still a clean and tidy office hall, rows of computers are fan-shaped, some people are busy wearing headphones, some are eating snacks and chatting, and a group of people are getting together to kill.

Free and casual, the atmosphere is relaxed, Andy naturally knows the character of this group of tech nerds, only this group of guys can do a good job in the game, earn him a lot of beautiful knives, and provide for them is completely trivial.

Andy also had itchy hands and pulled Tom and the low-key Ice Frog into the fray, although the number of heroes was still pitiful, but it was enough for him to feel the fun of this game.

The miserable level of the game, Andy's perfect interpretation of the superb technique of sending people's heads, made a group of people behind him laugh, Andy didn't care, anyway, he was thick-skinned, but the experience of the game was still very good, no different from what he played in his previous life, it seems that as long as the heroes are developed to a certain number, they can be tested.

During lunch, Andy chatted with the taciturn Ice Frog about the development of Dota 2, and Andy was still very interested in Dota 2, which was stolen most of the limelight after being released later than "League of Legends".

Andy really doesn't know how true the popularity of several foreign servers, including the United States of "League of Legends", is true, according to rumors, the vast majority of them are from the Celestial Empire, since it is impossible to distinguish the real from the fake, then Andy naturally has to go to double insurance.

Dota 2 is his reinsurance for the European and American markets, two options, Andy believes that he can trap this group of European and American players.

While esports was born early, Andy's ambition was to control every aspect of the professional leagues that belonged to them through Riot's two games, even composing a song for each live event.

Tournaments are held all over the world, full online broadcast rights are established, and dedicated personnel are trained to conduct game commentary and highlight recaps – and a gaming competition channel similar to that of ESPN in sports.

This is not difficult at all for Andy, who owns AMC TV and HULU video, and there is more than just selling skins to make money!
