"Yes, at present, Tang Dynasty Network has indeed developed an e-sports game."

At this time, Counter-Strike, developed by Tang Dynasty Network, had already applied to participate in the 2001 American Game Show, which was later known as E3. The game show is the largest game show in the world, and countless high-quality games from all over the world have won the favor of hundreds of millions of players and investors in this exhibition area.

It can be said that the original intention of E3 at that time was the same as Chinajoy, just to develop the local game industry, but I didn't expect that after a few years, the influence of the game exhibition will become more and more great. Until now, it has become a comprehensive game exhibition integrating publicity and cooperation, development and investment, evaluation and technology.

The fastest way for the counter-terror of the Tang Dynasty network to break into the world is to participate in E3. And Chen Jiayi also believes that as long as Counter-Strike debuts in E3, it will definitely be a blockbuster.

"Excuse me, what kind of game is this competitive game?"

Hearing Liu Sichen admit the matter, the reporters on the side were a little excited.

For China, there are basically few people in the country who develop esports games. Even if it's the Heroes of the Three Kingdoms series, it doesn't sell very well. There is an old saying in the game industry, saying that developing a single-player game is equivalent to having money and no place to spend, and there is a saying that is even better, saying that it is developing competitive games, that is, purely looking for death. It can be seen that there is basically no market for domestic e-sports games in China.

As a large game company, Tang Dynasty Network will not be unaware. But I actually know why I need to develop an esports game. Moreover, before the game was released, it had already started to promote it in a high-profile manner. Judging from the current situation, it seems that Tang Dynasty Network wants to hype up the competitive game on a large scale.

"This game of ours is a first-person multiplayer shooter."

When this reporter heard Liu Sichen's reply, he obviously didn't know what the first-person multiplayer battle meant, probably because he hadn't played many games, but the other reporters on the side were knowledgeable people, and the reporter in front of him was silent, and grabbed the words for a while, "Dare to ask, is it similar to a game like Half-Life?" ”

"This cannot be disclosed at the moment, and the specific arrangements will be made after E3."

Liu Sichen did not explain in detail, leaving some questions for these reporters to use their imaginations.

"May I ask Mr. Liu, what do you think of the professional gamer industry?"

At this time, a reporter finally put forward the key to the press conference.

If the answer is not good, or if the answer is not satisfactory, I am afraid that it will attract the opposition of countless people in China.

"Any industry that develops to a certain height will produce careers. For example, chess, at that time, most of the national players were just a personal research hobby, but now it has developed into a world competition, and professional chess players have been trained in China. What I want to say is that in terms of the comparison between professional players and chess players, it is actually the same, they are all the same, no matter who is higher and who is lower, who is expensive and who is cheap. ”

"I also agree with Mr. Liu's point of view, but most of the Chinese people will still regard the game as a flood beast, and I don't know if the Tang Dynasty network has any strategies and methods to change this situation."

"To be honest, it's hard. After all, in the traditional Chinese concept, games are all playthings and the like. However, we at Tang Dynasty Network have also been working hard. For example, we are now taking the first step of professionalizing gamers. I believe that after a few years, everyone will accept this new thing. Perhaps, everyone's minds will change. Moreover, although the game we developed is a game, it focuses on competition. Maybe in the future, he will become a worldwide sport. ”

If it's competition, then there's confrontation. If there is confrontation, then there is something to watch. Moreover, with the development of the esports industry in later generations. More and more players fell in love with this industry, and later the General Administration of Sports of China also added e-sports as a special sport, such as the 99th national sport. At that time, esports can be regarded as truly getting its name.

"Then may I ask, can you reveal the specific itinerary of the E3 that Mr. Liu just mentioned?"

"Okay."

For E3, Tang Dynasty Network still attaches more importance to it. Moreover, Tang Dynasty Network is also very confident in this game. I believe that this time at the E3 Game Show, Tang Dynasty Network will rise to the same name as Blizzard overnight because of the Counter-Strike developed by Tang Dynasty.

"For this E3 exhibition, we are going to the United States next Monday to participate in the exhibition. In terms of personnel arrangement, in addition to the R&D personnel of our Tang Dynasty Network, our three professional players will also go together. ”,

"May I ask Mr. Liu, is your company going for the best PC game in this exhibition?"

A more professional reporter asked a tricky question.

"I believe that the best PC game is extremely attractive for every game developer, and we at Tang Dynasty Network have been working hard."

E3 Game Show is a large scale, held in 1995, and attracts countless game manufacturers every year. In addition to orthodox computer PC games, there are also relatively large video games in the industry. In order to improve the quality of the games and to attract more audiences, E3 has categorized these games.

By different categories, they are, fighting games, side-scrolling games, music games, real-time strategy games......

In 2000, the domestic real-time strategy game "Three Kingdoms" has participated in the E3 exhibition. Unfortunately, he didn't get any awards. It's just that in order to support these game industries, the state has given him countless awards. Like what, the second National Electronic Publication Award and so on, were won by the "Three Kingdoms".

In addition, E3 also has a Best of the Best Award for each category of games to recognize game companies that have contributed to the gaming industry. In comparison, the first China Game Show was a bit shabby. It doesn't matter, though. There will be time to continuously improve this exhibition in the future. It is believed that with the development of China and the development of games, China Game Show will also become a world game exhibition.

In fact, for the game of Counter-Strike, Chen Jiayi is more ambitious. Among their ambitions, to participate in this game exhibition, is to go for the highest award of E3, which is the Game of the Year award.

This is the best game out there. Judging from the experience of previous editions, as long as any game wins the "Best Game" award, then the game will definitely be able to fascinate the world.

Now a reporter asked about Liu Sichen, a game developer, although she also has great confidence, she didn't say everything, but just replied with a dripping answer.

"Excuse me......"

After Liu Sichen answered a series of questions, the news development meeting held by Tang Dynasty Network also ended successfully.

As for the discussion about professional players in China after the press conference, it is not something that the Tang Dynasty network can control. Because, Tang Dynasty is very busy on this side of the network, and they still have a lot of things to do. In addition to putting the finishing touches on the "Ethereal Journey", we also have to work hard to prepare for the E3 Game Show.

On May 15, 2001, the development team represented by Liu Sichen of Tang Dynasty Network embarked on the road to the E3 Game Exhibition on behalf of a world-famous e-sports game - Counter-Strike.

On this day, countless media are paying attention, and they are looking forward to whether Tang Dynasty Network can bring miracles to Chinese e-sports.
