Chapter 72: Cup 2

"Is the World Esports Championship reliable?" Ma Cong couldn't hide his excitement.

"Whether it's reliable or not is only known if you try it. But I believe that as long as it is profitable, those people will not refuse. Zhu Ziqing stretched his legs, put his hands on the backrest, and just lay on the sofa on all fours, ignoring his image at all.

"And we are not a World E-sports Tournament, it is a Skynet Cup E-sports Tournament, and the competition is just our company's own game."

"Speaking of which, I can't figure it out. If we are going to hold a global esports tournament, why only choose our own games? There are a lot of fun games, and it would be nice to include them all. Ma Cong sat down on the sofa opposite and asked.

"CG knows, right?" Zhu Ziqing asked rhetorically.

"I must know, the Esports Olympics. It's a pity that it was discontinued. Ma Cong said regretfully.

"And do you know why it stopped?"

"Because I don't make money...... Ma Cong blurted out, suddenly paused in the middle of his words, and never said the rest of the words again.

He likes video games very much, and he also pays attention to CG, and he feels sorry for the discontinuation, but he doesn't dig deeper, and subconsciously thinks that it is not profitable.

, the World Esports Championship, the Esports Olympics, the highest honor in the hearts of video gamers around the world, and the revenue from advertising alone can make a lot of money.

If it's not for money, what caused the world's number one esports event to be suspended?

Before he could think clearly, Zhu Ziqing solved his confusion: "Because major game companies prefer to hold world events by themselves, rather than selling the right to hold them to other companies." Especially the popular games, they will basically only grasp the right to host the world event in their own hands. ”

CG, World Esports Series, Esports Olympics. There was this event in the previous life, and there is also this event in this life. The difference is that in the previous life, this competition was founded by the people of the stick country, and the main sponsor was the mobile phone company that never exploded.

During this period, Microsoft also sponsored it, but later found out that the people of the stick country were blatantly manipulating the game, so they withdrew.

It is not a smear to say that the country is small. As we all know, CG will give priority to the best games played in the country of sticks in the selection of game items for each competition.

For example, StarCraft, which was considered the national game of the Stick Country back then, basically monopolized all the championships. So CG will have interstellar every session.

Unfortunately, Blizzard later took back the right to host the World Athletic Tournament in Star II, and CG announced its closure soon after.

It is precisely because CG prioritizes the best games they play themselves, creating an impression of "stick man games played well" among gamers around the world. Of course, there's no denying that they're really researched in this area.

This event was founded by two European and American companies, and it is more objective in terms of game selection than the previous event.

Therefore, although the stick country of this world is also an e-sports powerhouse, it is only one of them, and its influence is not as great as in the previous life.

(Speaking of game rigging, let's make a little bit of a small talk here.) Anyway, that's all there is to this book, write wherever you want. Everyone should watch the gossip news.

In fact, the country with the most serious game manipulation is China, and basically anything related to the level of the game will have a shady scene. Therefore, China lacks ...... It can be said that there is no rating certification body that has been recognized by the world.

Taekwondo, China plays its own game, does not recognize the certified rank of any other country, and other countries do not recognize China's certificate.

Pianos, generally people who want an internationally recognized certificate will go to Japan to take the test, because it is difficult for domestic certifications to be recognized internationally.

After all, taekwondo is a foreign martial art, and you can play it however you want. The problem is that many of China's own things, on the contrary, are more authoritative in other countries.

For example, when it comes to the tea ceremony, people think of Japan. The world's most authoritative Go certification body is also in Japan, and the domestic level certification is not very internationally recognized.

Why did Go originate in China, and the strongest players are also in China, but the world recognizes Japan's certification level instead of China?

Because there are too many shady scenes behind the scenes, and countless hands are manipulating, how can such a certification be authoritative? How can others possibly approve?

Of course, the domestic Go community is also disdainful to go to Japan to do any certification. It's okay to say it's pride, it's okay to say it's a dead duck, anyway, it's definitely there when you close the door and come to hi.

Speaking of sports events, seeing the huge influence of the Olympic Games, several Asian countries imitated the establishment of the Asian Games. China naturally deserves to have the most right to speak.

It would have been good, and the world was looking forward to it. And then the Chinese hand itched again......

In a certain Asian Games, South Korea exploded, and the number of gold medals in China was only one or two away, and the next game was the strength of the stick.

So the country of sticks couldn't wait to celebrate, and the newspapers put out headlines like "Try to see how 40 million sticks defeat 1.4 billion Chinese" in advance.

At that time, the Chinese team was very worried, and some people even suggested that they should find Japan and let them release water to send China a few gold medals. Because the next game is Japan's strong point, and it will win the championship.

Or the leader of the team has the courage to die rather than ask for others. The result is a verification of that sentence, the Chinese team completed the counterattack, and the final number of gold medals overwhelmed the stick.

But this incident made the country very angry, so someone itched his hands and began to manipulate the Asian Games. The sports that the stick country is good at, those that can be eliminated are eliminated, and those that cannot be eliminated are tried to stand aside.

Then add a lot of sports that the Chinese are good at, or that both countries are not good at. Then the stick will no longer pose a threat to China at the Asian Games. The leaders with itchy hands high-fived and cheered.

However, everyone is not blind, if you China does this, other countries will have no opinion? Who cares about a contest that can be manipulated at will? Then the Asian Games became a toy for China's own amusement. Its influence is 108,000 miles away from the Olympics.

I guess this is something that those leaders with itchy hands can't think of. Or they can think of it, but simply don't care. It's just a competition, how can face matter.

There are also those awards in the entertainment industry, which have completely become a row of seats and fruits, and if they are not enough, they will have double yolk eggs and three yolk eggs or something. In this way, what credibility is there?

The world film festivals in Japan are all held in a decent way, while the world film festivals in China are completely self-entertaining.

Okay, that's all for the complaint, continue the plot. )

Where there are differences, there are similarities. The similarity is that the impact is huge, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it has contributed to the development of esports.

Another similarity is that the CG of both worlds was suspended because they couldn't get the right to host the event for a good game.

"In fact, there are only so many excellent games, and if you can't get the license of these popular games, you can't hold any events." Zhu Ziqing said.

"It turned out that this was the reason, I said that CG was doing a good job, how could it suddenly be stopped." Ma Cong suddenly realized, "It's a pity." ”

"CG can't get a license, let alone us. So the games used in Skynet Cup are all our company's own. Zhu Ziqing said.

"There are many games under Skynet that are suitable for holding competitions, I count: Interstellar, Red Alert, CS, Flood Battle, Call of Duty, QQ Speed, Need for Speed, King of Fighters, etc., the preliminary estimate is no less than ten." Ma Cong shook his head and sighed:

"These are all the most popular games in the world in the past two years, and the number is no less than that of the CG of the year. Your company is really terrifying, and in two or three years, you have done something that other companies may not be able to do in more than ten years. ”

"Huh...... You say one less game. Zhu Ziqing smiled mysteriously and said, "What I really care about is the Flood Wilderness, everything is running around it." It can be said that the ultimate purpose of this Skynet Cup is to promote it. ”

"What?" Ma Cong was surprised, "Are you sure you're not joking?" ”

Everyone worked so hard to put on such an event, and you actually told me that it was to promote a game, and the main thing was "What is a game like Warriors, and why have I never heard of it?" ”

"Warriors is an RPG map for Flood Battle, and we haven't made any publicity about it yet." Zhu Ziqing said proudly.

Is there anything more comforting than pretending to be successful? Yes, it was installed twice.

"A map of the Flood War?" Ma Cong's eyes were about to fall out, which was too unexpected. There are a lot of grooves in my heart that I want to vomit, but I don't know what to say when it comes to my mouth.

"Don't underestimate this map, it's going to change the world gaming market. The game is still very long-lasting, and it is not a problem to add that its variants have been popular for twenty years. While speaking, Zhu Ziqing looked at Ma Cong, waiting to see his wonderful emojis.

Ma Cong fully cooperated with his bad taste, stood up suddenly, and expressions such as shock and disbelief appeared in turn, and finally merged into one.

"Is that true?" Even the classical Chinese was dragged out.

"What's the good of lying to you." Zhu Ziqing said affirmatively.

"This ...... That's great...... That's great. Ma Cong was incoherent with excitement.

No wonder he was so happy. Although he does not have the ability to invest in several egg-laying golden chickens under Skynet Group, he has reached cooperation on live broadcast platforms, e-sports competitions and so on.

This time, the Skynet Cup is the product of cooperation between the two sides. Skynet Group plays games and contributes some money. Ma Cong is responsible for the management of specific affairs and contributes part of the money.

E-sports, live streaming, star-making program, entertainment industry...... Together with some of his own plans, it just forms a small ecosystem. The earning power of the ecosystem will not be repeated.

And a good game is the engine of this small ecosystem. Therefore, although Hong Huang Wushuang has nothing to do with him, he is still very excited to hear that this game has been popular for twenty years.

As for the fact that the Flood Desolation Peerless can be popular for twenty years, thinking about the multi-tower, lol, pesticides and many other variant games in his previous life, Zhu Ziqing has no doubt at all.

"But, since you're so optimistic about the game. Why put it in the Flood Battle? Wouldn't it be better to make it on its own? Although Ma Cong was excited, he did not lose his mind, and immediately raised his doubts.
