The heat of Warcraft has actually reached this kind of Cheng dù.

This was somewhat beyond Zhang Ning's expectations.

Prior to this, Zhang Ning had always believed that no matter how popular Warcraft was, it would not be as popular as CF.

But now, CF is purely self-packaged to get hot.

Some of this is like the journey of later generations, which looks hot, but is actually hype and packaging.

But Warcraft has taken a different path.

Blizzard, as expected, is not easy to deal with.

A decades-long gaming giant, the heritage is incomparably huge.

At that time, Zhang Ning thought that with the experience of later generations, he could directly kill Blizzard.

But now it seems that it is still too naïve.

Even in China, Zhang Ning can abolish the World of Warcraft, but their core product, Warcraft, Zhang Ning has some powerlessness.

You have a new email.

Hey, there's a new email.

As soon as he looked at the title, Zhang Ning's eyes lit up.

By the way, isn't there still Dota?

Since the last time he studied Warcraft, the new map Dota has given Zhang Ning infinite reverie.

From the perspective of future experience, Dota is based on a game map of Warcraft. However, after the continuous update of the map and the continuous launch of heroes, Dota has already become a game of its own. Moreover, his fiery Cheng dù is no less than Warcraft.

In this way, it is possible to launch Dota as a way to fight against Warcraft.

That looks like a good idea.

Almost subconsciously, Zhang Ning felt that such a strategy could be successful.

However, after thinking about it, Zhang Ning found that there were huge problems in operation.

First of all, Dota's popularity and excitement are no less than Warcraft. On the contrary, he also surpassed Warcraft in terms of fierce competition and team competition. However, the most critical point is that Dota is dependent on Warcraft and exists.

In other words, you can't play Dota without Warcraft.

The simple meaning is that Dota is not a standalone game so far.

Of course, that's not the point.

It's not a standalone game, Zhang Ning can also turn Dota into an indie game, but for a little money. But the problem is that because Dota relies on Warcraft, without the support of Warcraft, outsiders will have no way of knowing about Dota. If this is the case, this will not achieve the effect of competing with Warcraft.

I remember that in later generations, Dota became popular. In addition to the fact that Dota is set up very well, the most important thing is that Dota maps are the only maps that Blizzard has officially recognized.

Yes, at the time, there were too many unofficial maps.

Because of the custom map settings, almost all players can set their own map.

This also makes the entire Warcraft world, I don't know how many maps there are.

Dota is actually one of the thousands of maps.

If there is no official recognition, there is no Blizzard support.

No matter how popular Dota is, I'm sorry, it's impossible for others to keep trying.

This gave Zhang Ning a greater difficulty.

A map that relies on Blizzard, but surpasses Warcraft.

To be honest, this kind of difficulty is not a little bit.

Even if it can really surpass Warcraft in the next life, then, I'm sorry. Blizzard can completely counter DOTA, as long as they directly set it in Warcraft and do not support the Dota map. Then, all the players who used to play Dota will not be able to play again.

This is also Dota's Achilles' heel.

Of course, there is a solution to this weakness.

Again, as before, Dota will be set up as a standalone game.

However, regardless of whether Dota is a standalone game or not, he relies heavily on Warcraft.

This is also the reason why the future will be Dota 2, which launched an indie game, or Heroes of the Storm, which Blizzard has created himself.

To be honest, their expressions are very average.

This reminded Zhang Ning of the League of Legends in later generations.

The League of Legends that suddenly appeared in front of his face made Zhang Ning's eyes light up.

He felt that League of Legends seemed to be able to solve problems that Dota had been unable to solve.

First, later generations of League of Legends inherited most of Dota's strengths and settings.

This keeps League of Legends as strategic.

Second, when the League of Legends of later generations inherited the estimation of DOTA, it was completely distinguished from Warcraft.

Distinguish it from Warcraft, and you will no longer be subject to Warcraft.

In the end, League of Legends became the most popular game in the world with his independence from Warcraft and his very strategic gameplay. Yes, not to mention online games, it is entirely because League of Legends in later generations is already the most popular game, not just online games. He has completely surpassed World of Warcraft, surpassed Warcraft, surpassed any game in the world.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ning wrote the League of Legends plan on the information paper.

However, there is also a problem with the successful launch of League of Legends.

Same as Dota.

If Dota is attached to Warcraft, then League of Legends is attached to Dota.

In later generations, a considerable number of players have converted from Dota to League of Legends players. Although this does not mean that without Dota players, it is impossible to generate League of Legends players. However, it is precisely because of the first push of Dota players. This is why League of Legends attracted everyone's attention as soon as it came out. And, because League of Legends inherits most of Dota's settings. This also allows Dota players to jump right into League of Legends without having to familiarize themselves with the game at all. This also laid the foundation for the first wave of League of Legends to be introduced to the world.

The problem is not fatal, though.

League of Legends is attached to Dota, so it is attached to Dota.

Dota doesn't belong to Blizzard anyway.

This avoids the opportunity to be countered by Blizzard.

Although it seems that Dota is also attached to Warcraft, Warcraft is Blizzard's.

The two seem to be interdependent, but one is heaven and the other is on earth.

At the very least, when Blizzard finds out that League of Legends threatens its position, Blizzard can't have any restrictions on League of Legends. However, in the case of Dota, Blizzard can take out Dota in minutes.

Yes, or prepare for League of Legends.

The whole process was deduced little by little, and Zhang Ning finally decided on the League of Legends. Whether it is from the perspective of the gameplay of the game, or from the perspective of not being subject to Blizzard, Zhang Ning should launch League of Legends, not Dota.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ning began to reply to the email to the ice frog.

Hello Ice Frog.

Thank you very much for reading the advice I gave you.

As for what you said about the opportunity, can we meet in person, I'm sorry, I'm far away in China, and I may not have time to come to the United States. However, I'm still very interested in your Dota map. Also, I've prepared more updates and settings for Dota maps, and if you're interested, I hope you'll keep updating them.

Subsequently, Zhang Ning shared some game settings about Dota with Ice Frog one by one.

Among them, there is a new setting for junglers.

It also includes the core operations of Dota.

Supplemental surgery gives early development and maintains an advantage.

The jungler setting not only enriches one of the classes, but also enriches the gameplay of the entire game.

Around the jungler, he can generate hundreds of ways to play.

At this point, in the previous three-line tower defense and now the jungler, Dota has become a new game.

Zhang Ning believes that with these few points, Dota will soon stand out among countless maps.

Not surprisingly, in order to sell their Warcraft series, Warcraft will also consider Dota as an officially recognized map, and will be compatible with Dota in the latest version of Warcraft.

Then, this qiē, Zhang Ning's purpose can be regarded as accomplished.

As long as Blizzard promotes Dota as much as possible, then the future League of Legends can be an instant hit.

As for why Zhang Ning didn't meet with the ice frog, it was entirely because Zhang Ning didn't want to be discovered by Blizzard. It's like discovering that your nemesis has made a map for yourself, no matter how fun it is. I'm afraid, Blizzard will not recognize the legitimacy of this map.

After sending the email, Zhang Ning came to the United States again.

And, according to the information collected by Chen Qingqing about the Warcraft Battle, Zhang Ning personally inspected it.

Zhang Ning came to a bar called Tonys.

This bar is a new bar in New York State, and it is very popular.

It is said that the reason for the popularity of this bar is because of a game: Warcraft.

Zhang Ning thought it was incredible, and he wanted to come and see it for himself.

After stepping into the Tonis Bar, Zhang Ning understood the reason for his popularity.

Unlike countless bars, this one has a huge electronic display in the middle.

Instead of dancing songs or the football and baseball games that Americans have always loved, the display was playing.

All young people, they sat together.

They were holding big wine glasses, and they were loud in the bar, supporting the game team they supported.

Come on.

Rush, harvest with all your might.

God, this guy's fingers are just like God, and before I even could react to my eyes, he had already controlled the three heroes to attack.

Terrible.

yes, you don't have to look at who he is, he's the WCG Warcraft Champion this year.

Hey, if only I had that good.

Forget it, be a supporter.

Half an hour later, Zhang Ning exited the bar.

Unexpectedly, the e-sports of Warcraft has developed into a crazy game like football competition.

Look, in this bar, the roar of support from all the young people is enough to give these competitive players a qiē.

Whether it's honor, money, or fame.

It's no wonder that Tong Lei is so worried.

With the current heat of Warcraft, even if it has not yet burned to China, I am afraid it will not be long.

Not to mention, if Warcraft continues to be hot, it is equivalent to ruining the world battlefield of Penguin Games.

Fortunately, he didn't launch League of Legends for the first time.

If League of Legends is really launched at the first time, I am afraid that with the current popularity of Warcraft, League of Legends, no matter how fun it is, will not be taken seriously by players. In addition, it will also be suppressed by Blizzard. The most important thing is that Zhang Ning has not cultivated many Dota players at this time.

For Zhang Ning, there are as many Dota players as there are, so there are as many League of Legends players.

At first, Zhang Ning wanted to cultivate this part of the players by himself.

Later, Zhang Ning understood.

With Warcraft so crazy now, who else can better train Dota players than Blizzard?

Well, Blizzard, you're going to go crazy for a few more days.

And, I wish you a good hand.

I'm going to let Dota come along and take you to the top of the world.

However, when you reach the top, then it is the beginning of your decay.
