Mobile platformer: Hungry Shark: Evolution.

The game "Bomb Master" also attracted a lot of attention at the last Gamescom, and I9 successfully found its own game distributor abroad.

It's a casual game, but at a time when games are scarce, it includes an element of online competition, and with players all over the world, it's only natural to be selected for the competition.

As for the bloody legend of Penguin Games?

Oh, let's not say it's not suitable for competition.

Just looking at the current situation of this game, it is already in a deep plug-in crisis and struggling, and it is not so easy to breathe a sigh of relief in the short term.

The competition is about to start, and the major online platforms at home and abroad that have been contacted before are ready to do a big job.

Among the projects included in WCG, the game "CrossFire" is the most popular, reaching 6.29 million reservations, "StarCraft" ranks second with 5.43 million reservations, and "Kart Running" ranks third with 5.16 million.

The opening ceremony of this year's WCG will be held at the Modu 10,000 Stadium, but its tickets were all sold out in the fourth minute of pre-sale.

Ye Le let the Chinese players get a total of 4,000 tickets out of selfishness, and the sum of dozens or hundreds of countries in a few days is only 5,700 tickets.

The remaining 300 tickets are naturally internal tickets, which will not be taken out and sold.

The day before the official start of the tournament is an exhibition match, which is played by Chinese players against several top foreign players.

It turned out that the outcome was mixed, and it did not reach Ye Le's idea of eye pressure opponent.

But it's also normal, and things like game talent are quite important.

The players are all from Huaxia professional clubs, and not everyone has the world's top gaming talent, and it is good to be able to draw with players from foreign countries by relying on the post-training done in advance.

After the exhibition match, it's time for the official opening of the WCG!

The opening ceremony will be held at 8 p.m. on July 31, even though there is a large time difference around the world.

However, it still can't stop the enthusiasm of fans, and countless players around the world turn on their computers or mobile phones early, waiting for the live broadcast of the opening ceremony to officially begin.

In the far reaches of Europe, Google's video website has put the live broadcast of the WCG opening ceremony on the homepage as early as possible, and in almost many countries, Aurora Games has found local professional anchors as commentators.

They will be broadcasting WCG's latest match reports live throughout the day, scrolling down the screen to report the scores.

The opening ceremony was held in the evening, when the sky was full of stars.

Grand fireworks, colorful spotlights, and countless people holding high the national flag and cheering and shouting.

The moderator opened the speech in English and Chinese and then shouted in a passionate voice: "Gentlemen, ladies. With our warmest applause and highest cheers, we invite teams from all over the world to participate!"

There was a cheer and music at the same time.

The first to come out of the entrance channel of the players were the Chinese players holding high the Chinese flag, and the moment they appeared, they detonated the scene and the Chinese players who were watching the live broadcast at this time.

It's amazing, it's like the Olympics!

No, this is the Olympics for our players!

Next are the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia..............

The Chinese players, as the hosts, gave them enough cheers and applause.

But there is a mix of misfits among these countries.

It's not so much a team as a person.

That's right, there is only one person from this country in the competition.

He comes from Luxembourg, a small country in Europe.

Although it is only one person, its momentum is not inferior to that of other countries' teams.

Because he held high the national flag, he exuded pride, solemnity and solemnity from his face, and every step was so firm.

A one-man journey to the race, though lonely, is also glorious.

His entry silenced the scene for a moment, and then erupted in violent applause, and people cheered him on in their own languages, and their voices reached through the sky.

Ye Le chose "BeyondTheGame" as the theme song of WCG, the live effect is very good, and the signal of the global webcast is also very good, when this WCG theme song sounds, although most people are listening to this song for the first time, as long as they can understand the lyrics of English.

The tenacious competitive spirit in the lyrics touches the story that games are no longer a simple game, but an attitude and way of life.

There are two basic characteristics of esports: e-sports, athletics.

"Electronic" is its way and means, which means that the sport is carried out with the help of various software and hardware as the core of information technology and the environment created by it, which is similar to the equipment and venues in traditional sports. In e-sports, "equipment" relies on information technology to achieve, which is what distinguishes e-sports from traditional sports.

"Competition" refers to the essential nature of sports, i.e., confrontation. As a sport, confrontation is the most basic characteristic. There are many classifications and events in esports, but the core must be confrontation and competition.

Someone once publicly criticized Ye Le's so-called concept of e-sports on Weibo, in his words at the time: "E-sports is a meaningless thing is also considered competition? Isn't it that you can win the Olympic championship by playing games, so these sports athletes we have added have worked so hard in vain, so just play games." ”

Throwing darts, shooting, and riding a horse are all considered to be a sport, so why isn't e-sports? E-sports teams also have their own players and coaches and other clear division of labor, and they usually train and are in a state of competition both physically and psychologically.

Why isn't eSports a competition?

Players can also say: What's the point of 22 men or 10 men grabbing an inflatable object made of synthetic leather?

What's the point of trying to knock the ball down a distant hole with a metal rod of different prices on the big lawn?

What is the point of a person spending decades studying how to move pieces around the board in a matter of hours?
