The first StarCraft North American Finals were held at Rose Bowl Stadium in California.

The stadium was built in 1923 and has a history of 70 years. At that time, it was a super stadium, but although it has been renovated several times, it is not very big today.

But even so, 54,000 seats is still too big for the first StarCraft North American Finals.

As a computer game that has been in existence for less than a year, StarCraft's mass base is still far from the status of football in the United States.

Even, not even a toe in rugby.

It's a bit pessimistic to say, but as a computer game that has just been released for less than a year, it can be regarded as the organizer's financial resources to hold the finals here.

Even, Wanhu Interactive Entertainment didn't even plan to sell tickets.

Of these, 30,000 tickets were distributed as rewards for the online competition.

Players who received tickets were all over North America, including some more remote areas, and even if thousands of households gave away tickets, it would be difficult for them to come.

The remaining 24,000 were sold at different prices depending on the location.

However, compared to the ticket price of the rugby final, it is still very cheap.

Children in the neighborhood who are interested in computer games may have come to see the advertisements hanging in the mall.

With such a large venue, the set was also a problem.

In the past, the solution for 10,000 households was to find some specialized service companies.

Since two days ago, Nick and Takahashi have negotiated and determined the future development route of Wanhu Interactive Entertainment. In the future, there will be more and more events held by Wanhu Interactive Entertainment.

Could it be that so many competitions are organized by third-party companies?

Of course not.

It's not about money, it's about hosting big computer game events, no matter what kind of company you have, you don't have a lot of experience.

Instead of letting someone else do it, it's better to do it yourself.

Wanhu has the advantage of computer technology, and the layout of the competition scene through computer modeling is more intuitive, convenient and efficient than the traditional drawing method.

The final design took a month, three days to set, and the first StarCraft North American Finals, which cost $500,000, and was completely different from previous video game competitions.

An important reason why only 500,000 US dollars was spent is that a large number of patents for light-emitting diodes are in the hands of 10,000 households.

The related solution, the speed given by Wanhu Optics, is definitely the fastest.

That's the benefit of being a group.

Whether this game is successful or not is a matter for Wanhu Interactive Entertainment, but as long as the luminous set is okay, this is the credit of Wanhu.

September 15th.

It was drizzling in the gloomy sky.

At the beginning of the night, spectators poured into California's Rose Bowl Stadium.

"Wanhu is really magnificent!" Richie walked into the stadium and was amazed at the various arrangements inside.

It's not the first time he's been to the Rose Bowl, he's been here to watch a couple of rugby games.

But when he came here this time, he found that the layout here was not much sci-fi.

The stage of the finals is only one in the stadium.

But a large number of searchlights shine there, and it turns out to be a gorgeous StarCraft logo.

Then the puppy, the spearman, and the fanatic appeared one after another.

This visual spectacle amazed all the spectators present.

Even the industry insiders who came to watch the game sighed at the advanced technology and strong financial resources of Wanhu.

Although for 10,000 households, the actual cost is lower than imagined, I don't know how much.

The competition is divided into two days, the first day is the round of 32 to advance to the round of 16, the top eight to the top four, and the second day is the quarterfinals, the quarterfinals, the finals, and the final.

Compared to the more formal and solemn second day, the first day was divided into two divisions and started the game at the same time.

Along with Richie, in addition to Lisa-senpai, there are two other people who are Takahashi and Xiao Ai.

Although Takahashi has participated in an unknown number of matches, this is the first time he has watched a match as a spectator.

From another point of view, everything looks different and has a strange freshness.

Xiao Ai hasn't been to a few games, and the first time she went to the game, she confessed to Takahashi.

Until now, confession in the competition has even become a repertoire of the video game competition.

When Xiao Ai thought of this, her face turned red unconsciously, and the hand holding Takahashi tightened.

Takahashi felt his hand clenched, and he turned his head sideways, lowered his head slightly, and saw the cute appearance of the person next to him.

An olive-shaped stadium with a huge sky dome exposed naked.

The drizzle has stopped.

In the cool weather, the race began.

Compared to the game on the field, Takahashi pays more attention to the person around him who is as delicious as Ringo.

After the initial novelty, Rich no longer paid so much attention to the game on the field, but paid more attention to the black-bellied senior sister next to him.

It's also strange to say, as if two people with the same personality at all really got together.

The world is truly wonderful.

It is different from the greasy and crooked taste in the audience, which is full of sour smell.

The field of play was full of slaughter.

Klin, Hussein and his companions, thirty-six players drew lots and competed.

Before the competition, everyone already knows the approximate ranking.

Who is the escort and who is the seeded player is already known before the race.

But where is StarCraft a 100% game, and what's the point of a game if everything is predestined before the game?

Esports, like any traditional sport, is not a certainty.

Popular!

Dark horse!

It's more interesting than those superstars.

It's been a while since StarCraft was over and Kling uploaded the video software after the previous game.

During this time, the players have improved by studying the video, and who knows?

Klin, Hussein and Hussein's companions, all three made the cut.

Top 16.

Hussein meets his companions.

The two men had a series of tense duels, and in the end, Hussein won.

The first day of the competition is over.

The frustrated and excited players, the passionate commentary, and the spectators who came to watch the game because of all kinds of people left the venue.

The next day, the quarter-finals began, and the people other than the players were in the best form.

Takahashi and Xiao Ai, two people, waited for a strange smell the next day and entered the arena.

"It's really nice to be a spectator!" Takahashi said.
