Chapter 572: In the Next City (Part II)

Star Group has not only imposed restrictions on clubs, but also on the players who can participate, first of all, these players must register on the website of the Star Cup and register their real-name information, and then they have the right to register. Second, the transfer of the entire club league is like a football game, divided into two transfer periods in winter and summer, the transfer period is the rest period of the club league, in addition, all players are not allowed to transfer casually, otherwise, the official will ban the player for one year, or even longer, and the relevant club will also be punished.

In addition, the club league also adopts a draft mechanism similar to the NBA, that is, the club at the bottom of the ranking has the right of first choice, of course, how long you sign a player can stay in your club, that is your ability to play the club, in this way, you can maximize the balance of strength between clubs, so as to make the game more beautiful, otherwise, as long as you have money, you can buy the first, then the whole game will lose suspense.

The draft is held once a year in January, while the individual competition is unrestricted and can be played by players from various clubs. All in all, the various rules of the entire Star Cup have been worked on up and down the Star Group, as well as in the forum, right? Several enthusiastic gamers have thoroughly perfected the opinions of the players, and there are hardly any big loopholes left.

And after the end of the first batch of club registration turmoil, the registration turmoil of the second batch of clubs finally came, these clubs are no longer the clubs held by the previous small companies, almost all of the companies behind these clubs are famous large companies in the world, such as Intel Zhang Yang did not find that Intel was thinking of things, anyway, Intel not only invested in advertising, but also really registered clubs, although Intel participated in the United States competition.

However, because it is e-sports, it is not the same as the football league, and there is no nationality restriction on the transfer of players, of course, when the entire league will become more and more prosperous in the future, the sports departments of various countries will not make restrictions on publicity, at least at present, the sports departments of various countries have only set up a relevant office in their respective sports departments in order to attract investment and sponsorship, and there are few officials in it.

There are not many clubs established in the second batch, and most of the other companies have made advertising investments, many of which have received advertising sponsorships, and most of the companies that sponsor these clubs are companies related to games and related industries, anyway, hundreds of thousands of dollars for these companies are just a small amount, and they are not even as much as the advertising cost of a week on a TV station, but for these clubs, these hundreds of thousands of sponsorships are quite a lot, at least for now, The whole starry sky cup is still in an embryonic state.

And less than two weeks away from New Year's Day in 06, the official website of the Star Cup finally issued an announcement, all the registration of the entire Star Cup will come to an end, and almost all the players and clubs have been registered, and the Star Group for the first time released the selected games that can participate in the Star Cup competition. StarCraft, Warcraft, CS, and the World of Warcraft Competitive Edition that has been basically completed.

There are only these four games in this year's Star Cup, and these four games are also the only games that have done quite well in terms of balance and other aspects among the current mainstream games, but among them have received the most attention, right? It is suspected that it is the World of Warcraft Competitive Edition. Because there are so many competitions that you can participate in World of Warcraft Competitive Edition, such as a five-player team competition, a ten-person team competition, a twenty-person team competition, and an individual competition

The World of Warcraft Competitive Star Group has separately increased the prize money, whether it is a five-person team competition, a ten-person team competition, or a twenty-person team competition, their top three bonuses in each country are 40 million, 20 million, and 10 million RMB. Because the Star Group does not use currencies such as the US dollar, the bonuses of each country are the same, as for the amount of currency converted into each country, it needs to be exchanged separately, of course, when remittance, the Star Group can also be directly remitted into the currency of each country.

However, all the bonuses officially announced are replaced by RMB. Although the prize money of the individual competition of the World of Warcraft Competitive Edition is relatively not high, the number of rewards has increased a lot, and all the top 20 have bonuses, even the prize money for the twentieth place has 200,000, and the prize money for the first place is 10 million. Although the number is not much, the number of people awarded is large, and the other competitions only have the top three, but the prize money for the individual competition is awarded to 20 places. If there are more people who reward them, everyone's chances of winning will also be done.

And as we all know, World of Warcraft's profession, race, talent, etc. lead to a lot more accidents in the individual competition than in the team competition, because it is not only your operation, technology, and mentality, but also a lot of luck, especially the maps of the individual competition are specially prepared by the official, and there are many features that can be used in these maps to use for yin people, and making good use of the environment is the biggest feature of the entire World of Warcraft competitive version.

Want to discover the previous game, the map, right? It's just for everyone to see the excitement, it's not much use at all, at most it's an ornamental son, but it's not the same in the World of Warcraft Competitive Edition, for example, after attacking from a high point to a higher ground, the attack distance is a bonus.

With the thorough improvement of the materials of the competitive version of World of Warcraft, the expectations of global players, especially World of Warcraft players, have reached a peak, which even Zhang Yangda did not expect. Because in World of Warcraft, if you want to kill people, you can only have a tribe to make an alliance, or an alliance to make a tribe, but in the World of Warcraft competitive version, it's different. There is no such thing as a tribal alliance.

In other words, it is possible for a team to have Blood Elf Thief, Undead Thief, Human Rogue, Human Priest, and so on. Right? The playability of World of Warcraft Competitive Edition, as well as tactics and so on, will be even more. However, because the tribe can cooperate with the alliance, some skills have been temporarily adjusted slightly.

After the whole game was run in Blizzard, Zhang Yang finally handed over the game to the starry sky for analysis, and after wasting a week of starry sky, Zhang Yang found out the starry sky, and dozens of large and small bugs in the data were all handed over to Blizzard's game department for them to modify.

When Blizzard's game department got the information handed over by Zhang Yang and verified them one by one, this group of people admired Zhang Yang even more. It is necessary to find that the entire World of Warcraft is quite fair in their opinion, but Zhang Yang only spent a few days directly giving so many bugs.

And almost all of these bugs are technical and even skill data bugs, and after their calculations, after modifications, these bugs are completely fixed, and the data balance of the entire game will almost reach a perfect level

At least in the eyes of the game developers, they don't believe in any bugs, and many of them even include maps. Of course, the people who developed the game found out how much computation it would take to test these sons thoroughly, these people at all? Thinking about it, Zhang Yang did it, and in the end, they all attributed this to the mysterious technology of the Star Group in computers.

Of course, Zhang Yang found that things did it, and he wanted to find that in order to test this, in addition to the spare server, all the components of the supercomputer in the entire Star Group were "upgraded and maintained" for a week, and the performance of the entire Star Sky was almost opened to the maximum, and this is still the Star Sky in the simulation calculation, if it is replaced by other supercomputers, because their logical judgment ability is very different from the Star Sky, so a lot, right? The amount of computation used will result in a much larger amount of computation.

But the starry sky is different, a lot, right? After self-judgment, the calculated amount of starry sky will be directly eliminated, so Starry Sky can complete the test of this World of Warcraft competitive version in just one week. It's also fortunate that it's a competitive version.,Because it's a small number of maps.,And there's no monster.,Some are just tests between skills.,And the test of related map data.,So the amount of computing is not large.,If it's the World of Warcraft online game version.,I'm afraid it will take at least half a year for the starry sky to be calculated.。

That's too much to lose. However, these bugs calculated by Zhang Yang are not only effective in the World of Warcraft Competitive Edition, but also effective in many skill modifications in the World of Warcraft, because the skill data, the World of Warcraft Competitive Edition is to directly extract the data of the World of Warcraft, so after Zhang Yang threw these bugs to the development team of the World of Warcraft, Blizzard immediately made two large-scale updates to the World of Warcraft and the World of Warcraft Competitive Edition after testing to prove their correctness and effectiveness.

After Blizzard revised the World of Warcraft Competitive Edition, Zhang Yang finally made a decision, that is, the World of Warcraft Competitive Edition will also officially start operating in various countries around the world, and the fee will be the same as that of World of Warcraft. It is also open to ordinary players, but ordinary players can only play in the normal area, and the normal area will be divided according to the 10,000 players in one district.

And each person can only register one account per month, and an account can only create a role in one district, and only one role is allowed, and if you want to create a second role, you must delete the first role. Zhang Yang had to take such a measure, because according to the current level of attention, if it is not set up, I am afraid that the servers purchased by Star Group on a large scale in the future will also be a huge number.

Because of the Star Cup, the Star Group has to set up branches in these countries, and the game engine in World of Warcraft Competitive Edition is unique, right? Second, so Zhang Yang will not hand over the World of Warcraft Competitive Edition to other game companies as agents. The launch of World of Warcraft Competitive Edition was selected to start the public beta simultaneously on the 1st of New Year's Day.

Because it has been tested by the stars, the internal test is exempted, and it will be good to start the public beta directly, and the World of Warcraft competitive version of the competition will be put on May 1st, and there are enough anyway, if there is any problem, it is enough for the Star Group to update the version.

Because of the Star Cup, the number of employees of the company registered for the Star Cup is actually more than the main employees of any other company in the Star Group except for Star Heavy Industries. The total number of employees reaches 50,000 or 60,000, with an average of about 1,000 employees per country.

These people were successfully recruited within half a year, and you can imagine what kind of busy Star Group has become during this period. And when all this was ready, Zhang Yang finally began to implement his plan. This period of Samsung has never participated in the Star Cup, because of the existence of WCG, WCG still has some prestige because it was held early, but these prestige may not last long in the case of the Star Group's big money.

The only country that allows the Star Cup to join is South Korea, and I have to say that Samsung's influence in South Korea is still quite huge. And South Korea, a stick country, says that although Koreans are more arrogant, on the whole, they are more arrogant, at least they think that the whole world belongs to them, and the Korean nation is excellent.

But these sticks are indeed relatively united, because of Samsung, the reputation of Star Group in South Korea is not good at all, it can be said that it stinks to the limit. Although the South Korean government is not so short-sighted, the huge public opinion has forced them to consider these issues.

And Zhang Yang's loss move can be said to be only one move, when there is still half a month before January 1st, Zhang Yang asked Chen Xiaowei to issue an announcement on behalf of the Star Group, which is generally a series of crusades against Samsung Group. Then it was Zhang Yang's turn to appear, after all, Chen Xiaowei is the executive president of the Star Group, and her words represent the image of the Star Group, and there are some things she can't say more.

But Zhang Yang, an "idle" person, is different, anyway, Zhang Yang is already famous, and he said that those media will not say much, so Zhang Yang directly held a personal press conference as the honorary technical director of Xingkong Group.

Zhang Yang is a person, these media naturally found out what kind of person he is, although Zhang Yang has never said it to the public, but with Li Keqing's announcement, all the media have found that Zhang Yang can be said to be another invisible chairman of the Star Group

And Zhang Yang, a person who has always been low-key in the eyes of outsiders, is actually going to hold a press conference, and it is obvious that there is no major news, and these media are like flies that smell fishy, and they are swarming one after another.
