Chapter 524: CPL wants to compete with WCG
βBeyond-the-gameοΌβ
This is the WCG slogan proposed by Yang Yun, which has been unanimously recognized by everyone.
"What I want to promote is definitely not a simple team formation, playing games, awarding awards, and distributing money. How is this different from the sports day that is held once a year in primary schools in our country? Do I need those childish comments from the third grade (fourth) class that sent good news and said a lot of boring congratulatory words? No, I want WCG to be a big party that everyone can participate in! β
Yang Yun drew the organizational relationship in his mind on the blackboard, the middle is a black and black dot, marked Long, and then, around the dragon, write film and television, animation, social, communication, communication, interaction, competition, and then use two connected straight lines to connect them with each other, and finally let the dragon black dot in the middle become an inconspicuous dot in the huge network.
"Internet technology will be the focus of the future development of computers, even if the players are lonely and gloomy otaku, indifferent communication difficulties, I also hope to wake them up from the TV, from the computer, from the portable small entertainment equipment in front of the game, to increase the communication and interaction of players in the Internet era, and to use games to promote the harmony of human spiritual life."
This is the original intention of the most beautiful Lu, and every time Yang Yun says something like this, he thinks of a movie, "Wall-E the Robot" produced by Pixar.
The earth is not suitable for survival, human beings are forced to flee to space, live on intelligent computer-controlled spaceships, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all controlled by computers, and everyone's communication is carried out through a void operation panel suspended twenty centimeters away from their face, if it were not for WALL-E inadvertently knocking over an ordinary person. This person may never know that there will be real interactions and face-to-face conversations. People have forgotten about real life, and the virtual world has been able to satisfy them all.
Before Yang Yun was reborn. Passengers looking down at their phones are everywhere on the subway, and most people in the waiting hall of bus stations choose to pass the time by reading novels or playing mini-games.
Every family, every household, every ordinary person, every night, when they like to lie in a comfortable bed before going to bed, play with all kinds of portable devices without saying a word, until sleepiness wells up, completely ignoring the feelings of the person around them. It is also possible that both of them have forgotten each other, women swipe their necks to watch variety shows and chat with girlfriends, men read novels, play games and watch movies, and they only live in their own world.
In the Internet era, the amount of information has exploded, and people can easily obtain the amount of information that they can never digest, and people's living habits have changed.
People have gradually abandoned traditional means of socializing and rely on the Internet to communicate, and virtual communities have become the most popular way to socialize.
Otaku otaku every day at two o'clock in the company's house. There are no offline amateur activities, blind dates have become the norm, and before meeting, you have to chat and communicate through instant messaging software to find your feelings, and you can't say a word in person. I turned around and was full of witty words on the live chat tool.
Company dinners, class reunions are no longer hooked shoulders and laughter, and they feel boring. Or people who can't find a topic of conversation simply take out their phones and play their own games.
There is never communication and communication between neighbors, and the door is closed. It is a world of its own, and multiple WIFI signals in a building can cover and coincide. But the password separates them into completely different separate spaces.
The most serious thing is that the game threshold is getting lower and lower, players are getting younger and younger, the 18-year-old game ban is useless, high school students and junior high school students are talking about "my world", primary school students have joined the queue of League of Legends, and it has become a trend for gamers to be younger.
When a 4-year-old's most wanted birthday present is not a spinning top or a bicycle, not to play peek-a-boo with children of the same age, but to have a new smartphone, and the game is more zipline than his parents, the situation gets out of hand.
Although this also means that Longteng, which produces high-quality games, will get more consumers, and Yang Yun will earn more, he hopes that from now on, he will not only emphasize "please play games in moderation" in the game, but also use semi-mandatory technical means at the right time to call on players to eat on time, ensure rest, communicate more in the real world, and participate in Longteng's offline activities.
This is definitely more effective than the printed warning that "smoking is bad for your health", which is a real return from the virtual world to the real world, rather than a useless reminder in the game that shouts "it's six o'clock in the afternoon, XXX your mother calls you home for dinner" in yellow font.
At the same time, Yang Yun can control the coverage of WCG, control the number and difficulty of access games, and gradually let players from professional fierce confrontation to wide popularity, enhance the adhesion of the majority of players, as long as it is handled well, offline games may bring more profits.
"This is indeed ...... On top of the game...... "Wang Zhe sighed after listening to Yang Yun's overall idea, he finally understood the true purpose of Yang Yun's great fanfare.
"Will there really be a table of people eating, no one talking, and everyone looking down at their phones?" Lin Zhiling felt a little incredible, and asked with a deflated mouth, "Wouldn't that be too boring?" β
Lin Zhihong retorted: "How can it be boring? For most people, games are much more fun than people, people wear the same mask of hypocrisy, this society is full of unfairness, speculation, abuse of power, and games will at least be a little more disciplined than real life! It's just that I still can't believe that the performance of mobile phones will be stronger than that of PCs in the future? Can't you still play Plants vs. Zombies on your phone? β
Of course you can play it, and even more complex games can be run, Yang Yun smiled and gave a thumbs up: "Zhihong is very sharp about the problem!" What I just said about a table of people looking down at their phones is just an exaggerated metaphor, if anyone eats at the same table with Xiaoling, hey! Who would waste time bowing their heads and playing those broken games, of course, they all went to the goddess! β
Lin Zhiling looked shy, and glanced at Yang Yun, Lin Zhihong and Wang Zhe were laughing, Yang Yun rarely showed his personal feelings in front of outsiders, this kind of scene is really rare.
After making a little fun of Lin Zhiling, Yang Yun asked rhetorically: "As for the performance of mobile phones, did you ever think that PC games could reach the point where they are now ten years ago?" Two years ago, we were still using brick big brother, and now Motorola has launched a portable handheld, which is about the same size as the palm of our hand, and the LED LCD digital screen is replaced by a color display, who dares to say that mobile phones will not replace handheld phones in the future? β
Everyone thinks about it, science and technology are changing with each passing day, and no one can say what will happen in the future, Yang Yun just gave an example of everyone bowing their heads and playing with their mobile phones during the party, maybe it will be realized one day.
"I do have a preliminary idea of the WCG's organization and publicity plan, and it is best to report to the General Administration of Sports of China now, and then get a formal and legal assembly license, set up relevant sports leagues, and set up branches in major regions and countries around the world. The initial scale should not be too large, and by 2000 there were 40 countries and regions around the world, and in 2010 there were 80 countries, which was enough. β
"Are we really planning to make an esports Olympics on a national basis?"
"Of course, the WCG covers the whole world, not just China. Well, it would be great if the Chinese e-sports industry could be standardized and professionalized by the way, so that the Chinese team could compete with Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States! β
But Wang Zhe still poured a basin of cold water: "Mr. Yang, as far as I know, in addition to our Longteng promoting WCG, in fact, EA has also secretly established a confrontation organization in North America, called the CPL Professional E-sports League." β
"Huh?" Yang Yun only paused slightly, but was not too surprised.
CPL he knows very well, after 2000 several influential competitions, WCG of course ranked first, the players have the highest level of competition and the most famous, and then there are CPL, ESWC, StarWar, WEG, PGL and other major events, the focus is slightly different, the strength level of the invited players is also different, some of them are based on TV broadcast of the existing events, not as comprehensive as WCG.
"Are you sure it's supported by EA? How much money did they invest in CPL? How aggressive are they pushing? Yang Yun asked rhetorically: "The most important thing is, what are the game games they choose for the CPL Professional Esports League?" β
Wang Zhe shrugged: "This is still the wind from Shaoyun last week, and the specific news is ominous." But I think it's definitely EA or Sony Nintendo's game, and of course we won't license it to them! β
"yes, since they don't have Dune 1993, Special Forces, Red Alert, Diablo, Pro Evolution Soccer, they only have Ridge Racer and West Wood's Dune, plus FIFA and NBALive, what are we afraid of?"
Yang Yun drank all the tea, poured another cup with great satisfaction, and refilled it for the others, very confident, not in a hurry at all.
The establishment of 100 professional sports leagues is not in the way, it can't hinder the hegemony of WCG, if nothing else, the classic e-sports game is in the hands of Longteng, and it will always be invincible.
"I hope EA will be tougher this time and throw tens of millions of dollars into it!" Yang Yun curled the corners of his mouth, this is a road in heaven that you don't take, and there is no door in hell for you to break into.
Otherwise, if there is no opponent, wouldn't it be boring? (To be continued......)
