Chapter 620: WCG enters the championship battle
After another 12 hours, the second day of the WCG kicked off, the CPL began to sleep, and the two games had a half-day time difference, did not interfere with each other, and were connected to each other.
Yang Yun didn't go home, he rested directly in the president's office for a night, and when he saw everyone the next day, he waved his hand: "Don't worry, all the content is the same, now it's a matter of whose game is more intense and professional." ”
Wang Zhe thoughtfully: "I'll notify Director Gu and ask them to find a way to shoot more professionally." ”
Yang Yun nodded: "In addition, KiKi's commentary team also has to work harder, the live broadcast pays attention to hosting skills, and let the editors work overtime to collect more materials, which is really not good, and it is okay to read according to the materials." What is required to host this kind of show is experience, and the experience is all found by yourself, and continue to increase the pressure on them. ”
Wang Zhe promised to come down, and he would arrange someone to deal with this matter.
"Also, we have far fewer games than CPL, so I want all the games that show up on TV to be exciting, dramatic, and unexpected, and not filled with a bunch of mediocre battle videos! In the extra time, think of ways to increase the interaction with players in offline links. ”
Lin Zhihong took the order, he is the best at this kind of thing, many offline interactive links can refer to Taiwan's variety entertainment programs, and many screenwriters of Longteng Entertainment Film Company have a lot of experience in organizing offline activities.
"No problem, I'll leave the rest to you, I'll go back and watch the video."
As the commander of the army, Yang Yun is not afraid of danger, and his attitude towards CPL is very understated. This reassured everyone.
In early August, the WCG race entered the championship battle. The CPL schedule is just over two-thirds of the way and is not expected to end until the end of August.
This summer vacation. The two world-class competitive competitions have brought a visual feast to game fans around the world, and people have learned that the original game can still be played like this, and this kind of process can be played, and it turns out that fighting wits with people in competitive games is far more exciting than playing against intelligent AI, and everyone has begun to try to re-treat competitive games, and began to imitate the tactics of masters intentionally or unintentionally, and learn their professional playing style.
It's a normal process of imitation and learning, and professional gamers are the best at innovating. They have to find new tactics, new ways of cooperating, to defeat their opponents by surprise, rather than the same tactics that will only be easily defeated by their opponents.
When amateur players are affected, they will help gradually expand the influence of the game, so that the purpose of WCG and CPL has been achieved, and more people will enter the game industry with high-level competitions.
Shanghai is still hot in August, and WCG has also entered the most exciting moment.
"Pro Evolution Soccer 96" and "NBAGame96" have just decided the global championship. The rankings of the 32 contestants were determined, and the prize money was distributed, and even those who were eliminated early in the country quickly rushed into the prize money stipulated by the organizing committee in the bank account of each country. Hundreds of dollars, thousands of dollars, different rankings. The rewards are different.
The four masters of "Need for Speed" are competing for the championship, and the leaders of the General Administration of Sports of the People's Republic of China are responsible for drawing lots. Pairs and pairs are played, and the winner enters the winning group to compete for the championship. The loser enters the defeat group to compete for the third place, the draw is determined by the destiny of heaven, whoever the leader draws is whoever is who, everyone can see the table tennis ball and the number in the transparent glass display case, except for the top covered with a layer of cloth.
Brown, the president of KTT, also flew to Shanghai and sat on the scene, carrying a checkbook in his arms, accompanied by a team of lawyers, with a contract, which KTT had promised before, that all Need for Speed players would have the opportunity to join KTT and become full-time testers of the Need for Speed series of games, and have the opportunity to participate in the development of new games.
If you are not interested in joining KTT to work, Brown can also provide a series of help, and the Longteng Entertainment Film Company is also very talkative, and the players who play well may enter the filming crew of the corresponding adaptation of the movie.
The last 4 people are Canada, the United States, Japan, Hong Kong, these four places of the player, the Longteng E-sports Club players played abnormally and only won the fifth place, he has done a deep inspection, let down the country, let down the Longteng company's love for him, let down the captain Ye Fan's hand-in-hand professor, puzzles, sparring, and finally get forgiveness.
Canada's Ian, the United States' Jackson, these two players are in particularly good shape, have always been undefeated regulars in the arcade game room, this life focused on racing games, in addition to the "Need for Speed" series, "Dakar Rally" and "Ridge Racing" series have their own unique opinions, and finally chose to participate in WCG "Need for Speed" and give up other games.
These two people, Yang Yun has already agreed with Brown, whether it is KTT in the bag, or let Longteng North America Branch recruit employees, anyway, they can't let go.
Such a hardcore racing player can open his mouth to tell the characteristics of previous racing game versions, can distinguish reality and virtual very clearly, and has goods in his stomach, and has a deeper understanding of racing games, this kind of talent must not be let go to EA.
Japanese Oda Duxiu, in the top 32 of the table xiàn eye-catching, he is also a master who entered by virtue of strength, Longteng Company has not helped him anywhere, although the relationship between China and Japan is not very good now, but Yang Yun did not give an order to reject the Japanese, so everyone did not embarrass him.
Longteng Company used its own power to protect one of the top four players, the one from Hong Kong, has a special identity.
When Yang Yun checked this person's information at that time, he asked casually in confusion: "It's rare to see people with the surname Cheng in Hong Kong, right?" ”
Wang Zhe knew this person and shook his head: "There are many people with the surname Cheng!" However, this contestant named Cheng Sicheng is a bit special, he is 20 years old this year, a native of Hong Kong, and a mechanic of Hong Kong's largest car dealership. His uncle's name is Cheng Kuiammon, a Hong Kong actor, tall and wild-looking, the one who is the one in the movie "The Man Who Confused the Cub is in the Rivers and Lakes". ”
Oh...... Yang Yun remembered it, saying that not many people may know about Cheng Kuiammonium, but when it comes to Dasha, Yang Yun's generation basically remembers the professional villain actor who tried to fight Chen Haonan and the pheasant, but was beaten with a blue nose and swollen face.
"But his uncle is Cheng Kui, does it have anything to do with this Cheng Sicheng?"
"Yes! Cheng Kuiammon's other identity is a famous Hong Kong racing athlete, he has represented Hong Kong in many world-class professional racing competitions, rally, touring car championships, both at home and abroad, although he has not won the championship, but his results are very stable, is a very high status in the Hong Kong racing industry. Cheng Sicheng was influenced by his uncle, engaged in car maintenance work, and his hobby is playing racing games. ”
I see, Yang Yun has actually been thinking about Cheng Kui's ammonium, he still remembers that there was a time when Dasha died of illness, many people in the entertainment industry sent flowers to mourn, and his friends also regretted that they could no longer see this familiar villain appear on the screen.
Therefore, Cheng Sicheng has been taken care of by Long Teng in the top 32 competition, and Yang Yun's instructions are to let him climb as high as possible, if he can win the championship of WCG "Need for Speed", it is estimated that his uncle will feel extremely proud.
"Need for Speed" is the guest game of the first WCG, and it is estimated that it will be the last, next year's WCG in 1998, Yang Yun already has other alternative games, KTT's "Need for Speed" will become history, and after completing its mission, it will quit WCG, and will only do performances, and will not become an official competition item.
In this case, it is better to cheapen your own people, and the first place has hundreds of thousands of dollars, so in the 4-person group, the strongest American Jackson and the Japanese Oda Duxiu were divided together, Cheng Sicheng and the slightly weaker Canadian Ian played against each other, and finally Cheng Sicheng won and entered the winning group, lost to the strongest American Jackson, and won the runner-up of the "Need for Speed" game.
The championship battle of "Special Forces" was produced in four teams, SK of Germany, 4Kings of the United Kingdom, Longteng E-sports Club of China, and Lenovo E-Sports Club of China.
The 50% chance of winning the championship was won by the Chinese, and after the news spread, it caused the Chinese people to talk about it for several days, and Mango Station introduced the four teams in detail, invited expert commentators to discuss the possibilities, interact with the audience, set up prize quizzes, and did a good job in publicity.
Because of the help of professional sports directors and screenwriters from CCTV, Mango TV has become more and more experienced in live broadcast and broadcast of games, and the broadcast promotional videos made in the past month have won the love of Longteng's senior management.
Within the WCG organizing committee, there was a debate over one thing.
"I still hand it over to a third party to draw lots, and the leaders of the State General Administration of Sports came to the stage to draw lots, but Secretary Zhu didn't draw lots, isn't this a very good opportunity to show the close relationship between our Longteng and the state official?" This is Lin Zhihong's idea.
Zhao Yongping shook his head: "Some people are willing to show their heads and compete to show their faces on stage, so let's push the boat along the water." But some people don't want to show up, so we can't act rashly. And this is a sports competition for the whole world, and we should use perfect rules to make plans, not make people feel like we are watching people cook, or fake tigers and so on. ”
There is support on both sides, and everyone has a point.
"Special Forces" will not be replaced until "CS" appears, Yang Yun calculated, it is estimated that there will be two or three years left, so he made a final decision: "I will personally go out to see who dares to say more!" (To be continued......)
