Now that he has won the approval of the government, Chen Jiayi's series of actions can be implemented smoothly.

Although South Korea is also preparing to host the World Esports Conference, there are no corresponding laws and regulations for the Internet industry, let alone the game industry. To put it bluntly, you can hold an e-sports conference in this world, you can hold it, he can also hold it, any country can hold it.

Now for Chen Jiayi, it depends on how to make the WCG he organized famous.

As long as fame comes, it will naturally come in the future, and the world will acquiesce to your existence.

At that time, the WCG you start will be an authentic WCG. If you lose miserably in this battle with South Korea, then in the future, people from all over the world are likely to recognize the WCG held in Linchuan as a copycat conference.

Chen Jiayi carefully recalled the competition program of the first WCG in 2001.

In addition to Blizzard's StarCraft, there are also FIFA football, Microsoft's Age of Empires, Quake, Half-Life...... Wait a minute.

Now that Chen Jiayi has been reborn, with the help of the game plot of Half-Life, Tang Dynasty Network has successfully developed a competitive game CS that is the world's xìng. And it is this game that has played a crucial role in this WCG event. For no other reason, the advent of a CS can instantly increase China's game influence in the world.

As South Korea, they don't have a game that they can handle.

Tang Dynasty Network can go to the United States as a world-class game manufacturer and jointly sign contracts with game companies such as Blizzard, Microsoft, and Xueleshan. Designated his game products as the only competition in China's WCG. All other organizations or individuals do not recognize his legitimacy.

Thinking of this time, Chen Jiayi immediately came to the Tang Dynasty network and called Zhou Xiaoqiang over.

"Mr. Zhou, how is the recent task, are you still nervous?"

After the internal beta of the ethereal journey, Zhou Xiaoqiang and other game development members have a relatively leisurely working time. Recently, I've been sorting out the content of the 3D engine, but I haven't started to use it in research and development.

"Recently, in addition to dealing with the ethereal game bugs, most of the members are also sorting out the relevant content of the 3D engine design. Relatively speaking, there is still some time. ”

"It's good to have time."

Chen Jia nodded, and then said to Zhou Xiaoqiang, "In the past two days, I have a plan. I am ready to send you to the United States to sign a joint declaration with Blizzard, Microsoft, Sherleshan and other major companies. The specific plan, you will discuss it with Mr. Liu later. By the way, I have a game plan about Warcraft here, which you can take a look at. It would be great if we could take this opportunity to cooperate with Blizzard. ”

As he spoke, Chen Jiayi handed a document to Zhou Xiaoqiang from the table.

"Game planning?"

At first, Zhou Xiaoqiang didn't fully understand, but after he glanced at the plan, it was jī who moved.

"Mr. Chen, this plan is too precious, we can set up a group of game development members and develop a real-time strategy game that is better than Warcraft 2."

The reason why Zhou Xiaoqiang said this is entirely because this plan is too precious.

Because of the content of this plan, it is actually the most classic game of Blizzard in the future market, "Warcraft: The Frozen Throne". ”

It should be said that the Frozen Throne is an expansion pack for Warcraft 3.

The real Warcraft 3, the name is Hún Chaos no Rule. However, the Frozen Throne fully exerts the role of "heroes" in battle, bringing the fun of real-time strategy to the highest level. Of course, in addition to the addition of heroes, the Frozen Throne has also made relatively big innovations on the basis of the original. For example, in each race, two new classes have been added.

In addition, the later "Frozen Throne" is a classic expansion for Warcraft 3, in which the game balance xìng, mastered very well. Coupled with the increase in the number of heroes, a variety of different tactics are corresponding. In the end, the Frozen Throne became a competitive game in the world, just like StarCraft. Moreover, this competitive game, in one fell swoop, surpassed the status of CS Counter-Strike.

Such a classic game plan, although it is based on Warcraft 2, a different version of the game was developed again. However, the innovation in the game is unprecedented, especially the use of heroes in real-time strategy. Zhou Xiaoqiang even believes that as long as Tang Dynasty Network develops this game, it will be an e-sports game that is popular in the world. For such a plan, how could Zhou Xiaoqiang be willing to give it to Blizzard and cooperate with them.

"Xiaoqiang, don't be in a hurry, do you know how long it takes Blizzard to develop a game?"

"At least 3 years."

A minimum of 3 years of development cycle is required to ensure Blizzard's boutique strategy.

"Then let me ask you, how many years will it take us to develop this game on the Tang Dynasty Network?"

"This ......"

After Zhou Xiaoqiang asked Chen Jia, he couldn't give a specific time.

"I'm afraid I don't know."

Even if we had the game planner, we didn't have any experience in developing a large-scale real-time strategy game. Because, real-time strategy is no better than a first-person shooter like "Counter-Strike". To say that, Counter-Strike, at best, is an innovation, and there is no technology at all.

However, the Frozen Throne is different. If Tang Dynasty Network is used to develop it by itself, maybe the development cycle will have to be extended for a long, long time. Moreover, in this game development cycle, maybe even Tang Dynasty Network itself can't get a specific time.

After all, in real-time strategy games, in addition to game technology, he also has a very strong strategy research.

Judging from the current R&D strength of Tang Dynasty Network, there is simply not enough ability and time to develop this game. What's more, the Tang Dynasty network also has the task of a 3D engine. Of course, having said that, even if Zhou Xiaoqiang and others have completely absorbed the game experience in developing real-time strategies. However, at this point, who will do the 3D engine?

This is also something that cannot be helped, Chen Jiayi sighed.

In fact, there is another very important reason. That is, Warcraft Chaos will be launched in 2002.

If you develop the Frozen Throne on your side, the release date will definitely be later than Warcraft 3. When the time comes, after the rule of hún chaos comes out, the game that I developed by myself is a copycat product. Of course, this knock-off product also has some innovations though. However, Chen Jiayi didn't want to ruin the reputation of the Tang Dynasty Network.

All things considered, it is better to cooperate with Blizzard with this plan and develop it together.

"Okay, I've made up my mind, you go back first, and get familiar with a series of games under Blizzard first."

On the third day, under the leadership of Liu Sichen and Zhou Xiaoqiang, Tang Dynasty Network brought a small number of R&D members and rushed all the way to the United States.
