Chapter 268: The First Game
In the previous life, WCG was of great significance to the development of e-sports in China and even in the world. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It can be said responsibly that in China in the previous life, it was with the birth of WCG that the concept of e-sports became clear, or rather, it had substantive significance.
In the years that followed, various esports events have emerged one after another, but the supremacy of WCG for Chinese esports players has not changed.
The ten-year history of WCG can also be seen as a microcosm of the ten-year development of China's e-sports. There is still a lot to think about in the industry.
Ye Le also hopes that he has made such a big effort for the e-sports career since his rebirth, and it will not be in vain.........
The opening ceremony was a complete success, and the audience was greatly satisfied, both inside and outside the venue.
As soon as the opening ceremony ended, the audience and the contestants left here, but Ye Le couldn't leave.
I tossed and turned for hours, and I didn't get home until three or four o'clock in the morning.
"Haha, fun, you guys did a great job at the opening ceremony. I almost thought I had found a "set", like an Olympics. The participating teams also need to carry the national flag. I see that you have invited so many celebrities and folk song and dance troupes. The fat man called with a smile to congratulate him.
"I spent a lot of money, and I felt sorry for me. But after all, e-sports has not yet been recognized by the world, and I also want to take this opportunity to let players recognize him first, and then let the world change its opinion of e-sports. Once the perception of esports changes, it is only natural that gaming will rise in status. Ye Le was really a little sleepy, so he simply closed his eyes and wrapped the phone porridge with the fat man.
Who knew that within a few minutes, Ye Le actually fell asleep directly on the bed, and the mobile phone in his hand slipped weakly on the pillow, leaving the fat man alone to talk to the air.........
Early the next morning, after Ye Le came to the company, he picked up the data counted yesterday, and the number of global viewers of the live broadcast of the opening ceremony reached nearly 20 million!
WCG is really on fire!
It's really a great event, and it finally ushered in a good start on the day of the official start of the WCG.
It is estimated that the number of viewers in the next game will not be much less.

At this time, the president's office of Wayward Heaven was a different scene.
Yamauchi Pu's expression was gloomy: "Tell me, you also watched the WCG opening ceremony of the Aurora game just now, what do you think?"
Aurora Games has developed so fast that some peers feel powerless to catch up, and at the same time, it has stimulated these established game manufacturers again and again.
This WCG, which came out of nowhere, was actually forced into a world-class video game competition.
If it is allowed to develop over time, the consequences can be imagined.
As a representative of an established game manufacturer, he has the most pressure on him.
It's no longer as simple as being affected by interests, and now it has seriously affected Wayward Heaven's position in the gaming world.
This will never be allowed to happen by Yamauchi.
He's old, and I don't think it's time for me to abdicate in a few years. The person who succeeds him may not be able to handle the Aurora game, so he must think about how to deal with the Aurora game before he abdicates.
Aurora Games is now running WCG, forcing Yamauchi Pu to ride a tiger, so he can only consider whether to hold such an e-sports tournament to fight with WCG and compete for influence.
After all, he is an old game manufacturer, and he has a huge weight in the entire game industry.
It is not difficult for him to run an e-league similar to WCG.
I can also pull a large number of world-renowned hardware manufacturers and Internet companies as sponsors to help me compete with WCG.
The old rival Sony is also unanimous to the outside world, if it is willing to support the plans of those power plants, and at the same time is willing to pay a lot of money to co-host with Wayward Paradise.........
The player representing Luxembourg was in the first game of the WCG tournament to compete against other players in front of a global audience on the first day of the WCG.
The young man's name was Hans, and he signed up for the StarCraft competition.
At this time, he was sitting in the waiting area, connecting the keyboard and mouse he brought to the public computer of the game, debugging the machine, testing the network latency, and familiarizing himself with the venue environment by the way.
He is not used to using other people's keyboards or mice, and he will only feel at ease when he uses this set of mice and keyboards that he has used for nearly half a year at home.
Although he was just one person, and he didn't even have a red envelope to come here to cheer him on, he was very optimistic.
It's just that after coming to China, I'm a little unaccustomed to the food, and I've never seen such a lively scene, and the scene with countless fans gathered around the stage at the same time makes people feel crazy.
Putting on the headset, Hans took a deep breath, first calming his still somewhat excited mood and preparing himself well for the next game.
It's really crazy, I didn't expect that as an ordinary player in real life, I actually stood out in the WCG qualifiers and came to Huaxia, playing such a world-class competition in front of countless players who like games as much as themselves.
Once competition rises to the level of inter-country, it means something different.
Every player will show their best condition, and they will win glory for their country while winning honors and trophies for themselves.
Later, Hans's opponent was a Russian, and he didn't know if he could win.
But just play your best, whatever he does!
The competition hasn't started yet, and Hanshi prefers to take the time to continue training and maintain his grip than the Russian athlete who is equivalent to the staff chatting with the Chinese.
Ten minutes later, a staff member came over, holding a stack of materials in their hands, checking everyone's number plates and photos one by one, and the two players followed the staff out after a little preparation for two minutes.
Now he's going to the group stage, where there are eight players in each group, but only two players will make it to the quarterfinals.
The selection of the qualifiers is actually the top 32, and the current group stage can be regarded as 32 into 8.
Playing a round-robin match, the top two players with the same points will advance, and the one with the same points and the highest winning rate wins.
The tournament is on a high platform, which is a separate area of StarCraft that is separate from several other games and is not affected by each other.
"In the first round of Group D, Hans Luxembourg vs. Chirkov of Russia, please get ready, the match will be played in five minutes. ”
