Chapter 130: WCG Battle 1
As for this press conference, some reporters in Europe and the United States were moved by the news after hearing the news. Especially after the release of the news of the two parties, there have been rumors from the outside world. It is said that the reason why Blizzard cooperated with Tang Dynasty Network is actually a transaction. Some media said that this is completely hype. If not, what else? Do you believe that a game company that only develops a game like Counter-Strike, without half the technology, can participate in the development strategy**?
This time, Tang Dynasty Network and Blizzard jointly held a press conference, how could many media not be moved?
"Welcome to the press conference, and I am honored to announce one thing to you. We will join forces with Tang Dynasty to develop Warcraft 3, if you have any questions, you can ask me. Of course, don't forget today's other protagonist, Tang Dynasty Network ......"
Blizzard's Mike and Tang Dynasty Network's Zhou Xiaoqiang attended the press conference at the same time.
Now that Mike has finished the announcement, it is time for questions from the media.
"Excuse me, Blizzard has put Warcraft 3 on the development agenda before, and in Blizzard's tradition, it has always completed the game independently. This time Warcraft 3, why did you choose to develop it jointly with Tang Dynasty Network? Also, for what the outside media said, is this joint cooperation a transaction between Blizzard and Tang Dynasty Network? ”
"Here, I assure gamers around the world that we at Blizzard will never joke with the quality of our games. The reason why we joined forces with Tang Dynasty Network this time is entirely because Tang Dynasty Network is a world-class company like our Blizzard. Moreover, their understanding of the game, and their ability to develop the team, are world-class. The most powerful, Tang Dynasty online game company's planning ability can be said to be the world's top. At this point, we Blizzard are not as good as ourselves. With this collaboration, I believe it will usher in a new era in the history of gaming. ”
Mike was a little moved, and it seemed that this sentence was a bit exaggerated. However, the future will tell all the media that Mike is just telling what will happen in the future in advance.
After listening to Mike's answer, some media thought that Mike was exaggerating. For a while, they pointed the microphone at Zhou Xiaoqiang, the chief planner of Tang Dynasty Network, "May I ask Zhou SIR, the game that Tang Dynasty Network was engaged in before, except for Counter-Strike, there is only one online game, why did Tang Dynasty Network think of jointly developing Warcraft 3 with Blizzard?" ”
The question raised by this reporter seems polite, but it is actually a question about the development ability of Tang Dynasty's network. After all, Tang Dynasty Network has never developed strategic games. This time, he just entered the industry, and he teamed up with Blizzard in a high-profile manner. All kinds of behaviors have made these reporters think about it.
"Real-time strategy games, regardless of whether it is the present or the future, we all believe that there is a lot of room for development. Moreover, this kind of strategic battle game is also conducive to the development of e-sports. Our Tang Dynasty Network itself is a game company, and we also attach great importance to strategy. This cooperation with Blizzard is to integrate some of the game concepts of our Tang Dynasty Network into strategy games. I think this collaboration between us and Blizzard is a match made in heaven. ”
"So, in this cooperation, Tang Dynasty Network is mainly based on plot creativity?"
The first game of Tang Dynasty Network was to take the "half-life bar" of Xueleshan Game Company and change it to Counter-Strike in the current crazy world, so to speak, this genius idea has captured players all over the world. This time, Tang Dynasty Network and Blizzard have cooperated, is it because Tang Dynasty Network has burst out with another soul idea?
"This time, our cooperation with Blizzard can be said to be all-round. Not only from the technical point of view, but also from the plot creativity, our Tang Dynasty network employees have participated. ”
The two world's most cutting-edge technologies in the Ethereal Journey game are placed there, and I am afraid that at this time, no one dares to doubt the research and development capabilities of the Tang Dynasty Network. Yes, what Zhou Xiaoqiang said this time, not many people doubted it.
AS ZHOU SIR SAID, IT'S JUST THAT THERE ARE MANY PLAYERS IN THE OUTSIDE WORLD WHO ARE WORRIED. If your company is involved in Blizzard Entertainment, can Blizzard still guarantee its boutique brand? ”
"I think it would be better to leave this to Mike."
Zhou Xiaoqiang had a little humor.
The implication is that Blizzard is not worried that cooperating with Tang Dynasty Network will spoil the quality of Blizzard's games, what are you worried about? ,……
Not to mention the press conference on the US side, after Liu Sichen negotiated all the joint statements of Blizzard, Xuele Mountain, and other companies. The Linchuan Municipal Government also chose an opportune time to announce the general situation of the preparations for the WCG event.
As soon as this news came out, domestic players let out a long breath.
For them, the efforts made a few days ago to scold the government seem to have some effect. No, the government was forced by public opinion to take down the WCG's approval. Although there is also a WCG on the Korean side, Chinese players don't believe it, and we in China are not as good as them in South Korea.
This time, let's compare to see who can make this event bigger and see who can make this event stronger.
Of course, while netizens are happy, they also secretly admire the Tang Dynasty Internet in their hearts. You must know that the courage to openly put pressure on the government online in Dudu cannot be said to be strong. Let's ask, which domestic enterprise can do it like the Tang Dynasty network.
At that time, since the WCG feature was launched online, it has attracted hundreds of millions of angry netizens. But there are also many sensible netizens, who are also very worried, after this topic was issued, everyone was happy. After all, countless players have vented their feelings of dissatisfaction with the government on the Internet. But since then, the Tang Dynasty network will be unlucky.
In fact, by the afternoon of the same day, the WCG feature, which was all online, had been shut down. Many people have guessed that it is probably harmonized. It's just that after the topic was shut down, they didn't have a place to vent anymore. Of course, more sensible netizens are afraid that if they continue like this, it will harm the Tang Dynasty Internet.
Unexpectedly, a few days later. Tang Dynasty Network is not only fine, but the approval of WCG has been taken down. Now the Linchuan Municipal Government is already preparing for the big event.
Many netizens see this and admire Niu 13 of the Tang Dynasty Network from the bottom of their hearts. In my heart, I even expressed my feelings, if there were more such enterprises in China, it would be great.
Just when many netizens expressed their feelings, the news broke out in South Korea.
Samsung, which has partnered with the Seoul Metropolitan Government, announced on the same day that the WCG held in South Korea would cover all travel expenses for players from all over the world. In addition, if you win the championship, you can receive a prize of $50,000. ”
This news is naturally aimed at the WCG held by the Linchuan City Government.
As soon as the news was released, it had already attracted the attention of players around the world.
Originally, there were some teams or individuals who didn't want to participate in the competition, but after learning that Samsung was responsible for the travel expenses, they couldn't help but be moved. Moreover, if you get a place, there is a certain reward. With such a generous treatment, anyone will be tempted.
When domestic netizens saw this move, they couldn't help but be a little worried.
This Korean stick is really rich. Before the tournament even started, they began to reimburse players from all over the world for their travel expenses. This trick is ruthless enough, and I believe that players who are interested in the game are willing to go to South Korea to participate in the game.
However, just after the announcement of this news by Samsung.
Tang Dynasty Network, which is a local enterprise in Linchuan, immediately launched a counterattack.
Tang Dynasty Network claimed, "Tang Dynasty Network's Counter-Strike game is exclusively sold to the Linchuan Municipal Government." Except for the Linchuan Municipal Government, any organization or individual held the World Xìng Competition, which has nothing to do with the Tang Dynasty Network. ”
