Chapter 132: Game Battle Platform

A WCG battle between the two countries was also decided. Until the end, South Korea's previous announcement of the WCG also released a news that for some reason, the WCG event was temporarily suspended. Even if he did, not many players would want to go there. For this news, players around the world only treated it as a joke. Naturally, this is not to be mentioned later.

In other words, when Tang Dynasty Network and various game companies in Europe and the United States supported Linchuan Municipal Axe to hold WCG, the next day, Linchuan Municipal Axe first determined the specific competition items of WCG. At the top of the list is for StarCraft. Originally, the first position was to rank the counter-terrorism elite of the Tang Dynasty network. After all, Counter-Strike is now the most popular e-sports game in the world, but in order to fulfill the friendship of the landlords, Tang Dynasty Network is willing to rank last, which can be regarded as letting others see the generosity of Tang Dynasty Network.

Since Counter-Strike is not ranked first, then, StarCraft is ranked first, I'm afraid no one has an opinion.

StarCraft became popular early on and has a very large number of fans of the game. For this game, being selected for the WCG is definitely a certainty, and there is nothing surprising about it. It would be strange if the WCG didn't have StarCraft.

Immediately after StarCraft is FIFA Soccer 2000 for EA.

Originally, the competitive surname of FIFA Soccer 2000 was not very strong in the whole game. Many real-life battles and strategies cannot be achieved in this game. However, who calls the number of football fans in the world? For a game of football competition, it also attracts a lot of players. Therefore, FIFA Football 2000 was also selected to enter the WCG.

After that, there is the half-life of Xuele Mountain, and the delta.

Although these two games, after the popularity of Counter-Strike, there are quite a few players. After all, they belong to the same first-person shooter, but there are many of them loyal fans. For these two games, Linchuan Municipal Axe chose it into the WCG.

In addition, the more popular Need for Speed in later generations also appeared in the WCG project column this time.

Naturally, Warcraft 2, which is not popular now, was also selected.

Originally, like Age of Empires, Unreal Tournament, and Mjolnir, there were also quite a few players around the world. Unfortunately, none of these companies have shown any attitude. Naturally, this time the WCG event did not choose it. However, the Linchuan municipal axe did not want to beat them to death with a stick. On the list of game items, there is also a statement. If other game companies are interested in participating, they can contact Linchuan Municipal Axe or Tang Dynasty Network at any time.

...... "Mr. Chen, just now I discussed the competition plan with Linchuan Municipal Axe. There is just one problem that is difficult to solve, and that is that the scope of the game has been expanded to the world, and maybe there will be some problems with the manpower on our side. ”

Not just manpower, even if there are enough manpower. Competing in WCG around the world will also be a big problem.

For example, how do the primaries work? That's hundreds of thousands, if not millions.

Now that the WCG is on the agenda, the next preparations are particularly important for how to arrange the competition. Gu Xiaoyu talked with Linchuan Municipal Axe for a long time, and only came up with a relatively superficial plan. And this superficial plan is only theoretical. In practice, I am afraid that the trouble encountered is very big.

After discussing the plan with Liu Sichen, Gu Xiaoyu hoped to find some relatively simple methods from these technicians. And after Liu Sichen discussed with Zhou Xiaoqiang and others, he threw out a good suggestion.

"Do Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhou have any other plans?"

Chen Jiayi also knows about the competition. In reality, the game must be extremely complicated. It doesn't take time, it takes a lot of energy.

"Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhou feel that they can imitate the battle.net mode of anti-Blizzard."

This battle network, to put it simply, is a popular competitive platform in later generations, just like Haofang and so on. It's just Blizzard's battle.net that only has a series of Blizzard products such as his Diablo. Other games are not supported.

Hearing Liu Sichen and Zhou Xiaoqiang propose Blizzard's battle net, Chen Jia was overjoyed, he couldn't imagine that these two people would have such a vision. If the Battle.net platform is developed, then whether it is a domestic surname competition or a world surname competition, it can be completed on Battle.net. Of course, this contest refers to the primary. The highest-level event will end up in Linchuan.

"Just ......"

At this time, Gu Xiaoyu hesitated.

"Just what?"

Although Mr. Liu and Mr. Zhou proposed this model, they believed that if the battle network was to be developed and operated in the future, the cost may be very large. Because of the development of this battle.net, in addition to advertising fees, the future fees will develop in the direction of VIP members at most, and the profit will not be very strong. Moreover, since the battle network will be opened all over the world, it is also a big investment for the Tang Dynasty network. ”

It is precisely for the consideration of business surnames that although Zhou Xiaoqiang and Liu Sichen thought of this battle network, they did not strongly put it forward.

"Haha, it turned out to be this ......"

Hearing Gu Xiaoyu's explanation, Chen Jiayi laughed.

If you're worried about commercialization, that's not a problem at all.

In fact, Blizzard launched this Battle.net with the idea of organizing players across the United States to get together and play their Blizzard games. After all, in reality, it's not always possible to find someone else to play online with you. If it's a stand-alone game, playing with a computer person, what's the point? As a result, Blizzard gave full play to the wisdom of players and developed the Battle.net platform.

At that time, Blizzard's Battle.net platform could only enter Battle.net to play against other players if you purchased genuine Blizzard games. It's just that what they never expected was. The launch of this Battle.net platform has pushed Blizzard's games to a new level. As a result, the Battle.net platform itself is not profitable. However, the Battle.net platform has brought thousands of genuine gamers to Blizzard.

Even if it is aimed at this article, it is impossible to lose money by launching a global battle.net platform. In addition, if this battle.net is launched, it will be in control of players around the world. This also brought a new path for the global surname expansion of the Tang Dynasty network.

Now is a good time to launch Battle.net.

Because even Blizzard doesn't know the important surnames of future gamers.

Now his Battle.net, in addition to increasing the popularity of Blizzard's games, Blizzard has not promoted Battle.net to the world. Of course, Blizzard didn't push Battle.net out. In the eyes of others, it can be understood. After all, if you open another game on Blizzard's Battle.net, such as Counter-Strike, wouldn't it be a free advertisement for Counter-Strike. For such a thing, Blizzard definitely doesn't do it.

Since Blizzard doesn't do such things, then, let Tang Dynasty Network do it. When the time comes, when the battle network of the Tang Dynasty network dominates the whole world, it may be too late when they wake up.

"Inform Liu Sichen to go to the United States again and reach a secret battle network cooperation agreement with major game companies. Then inform Zhou Xiaoqiang to develop this battle.net platform with all his might. ”
