Chapter 1211: Pokemon Reform
With the end of this climax, the performance of the opening ceremony is over, but this time the craze of the performance continued to spread after that.
Because the performance was so exciting, it exceeded the imagination of all audiences, so CCTV took the lead in rebroadcasting this performance separately in the program, and then TV stations all over the world broadcast it again, which can be described as amazing.
With the broadcast of these TV stations, this wonderful performance also made everyone remember it firmly, and at the same time, it was set the benchmark by the cosplay performance that just came out this year.
In the mouths of all the cosers later, this performance is called the eternal god-level performance in the cos world, an immortal miracle or something, especially after the popularization of the Internet and the rise of video websites, this WCG performance video of that year was even more overwhelming, and finally the whole platform has accumulated billions of views.
Well, this is not a TV series with 20 billion views, but a literal billions of views around the world.
After all, even after a few decades, it is difficult to find a COS performance that can be comparable to this performance, and the actors who starred in this COS have also become the bigwigs of the COS industry, and have been worshiped by countless cos in later generations
Although these two later became national martial arts champions, they didn't care about the name of god-level COS at first, and even abandoned them.
In fact, these two people were reluctant to participate in this performance, they were the most potential martial arts athletes in the country at that time, and they felt that the game or something, it was all crooked, if it wasn't for the lot given by Daqian, they would never have participated in such a performance.
However, later, as the second yuan came out of the small circle and became an extremely hot circle in the market, the two players also became enthusiastic again.
Then they understood what this performance meant to them, and they had reached the pinnacle of their lives when they were 20 years old.
And the rest of your life is actually all cups.
Ahem, that's a bit far, let's get down to business.
After the performance of the opening ceremony, the audience collected their excitement a little, and then welcomed the athletes into the venue.
This time, the athletes' admission is more formal.
Many of the athletes wore their own country's clothing, but they were all uniform and uniform.
This is not a request from Daqian, but a request from the respective countries of these athletes, because after the first WCG, some countries have realized that this is also a kind of face on behalf of the country, so they specifically asked these players to dress uniformly.
Among them, the most uniform clothes are the South Korean delegation.
This time, the number of South Korean delegations is the fourth largest among all countries, second only to the three countries of United States, Huaxia and Fuso.
Moreover, the Korean delegation is also ambitious, participating in all 12 events, and it is clear that they want to repeat the glory of the medal table of the previous competition.
The Koreans have a big picture!
However, there are not many teams that have really received the attention of the country, less than ten national teams, which shows that esports still has a long way to go if it wants to have its place in the world of sports.
But in terms of business, the development of e-sports is still very fast, for example, this time the global broadcast rights were sold very smoothly, CCTV spent $12 million to buy the exclusive global broadcast rights this time, and then sold them for $25 million around the world, making double the US dollars, making the leaders of CCTV laugh stupidly.
In this regard, Daqian Games is a little dissatisfied, they feel that they should sell it themselves, and they can sell it for at least $30 million worldwide.
However, Boss Jia still refused, and Boss Jia needs to maintain a good relationship with CCTV now. What's more, the status of the game in Huaxia is very embarrassing now, and it may die directly with an article report at any time.
Therefore, it is necessary for Boss Jia to maintain the relationship with CCTV, get the recognition of CCTV, and win a broader space for the development of the game.
On the contrary, due to strategic considerations, Boss Jia still sold the exclusive broadcast rights directly to CCTV.
And this time, CCTV no longer sent newcomers or kittens and puppies over, but directly sent CCTV's top anchors.
Of course, these streamers have no problem in terms of technology and strength, but the problem is that they don't know how to play games.
In desperation, Boss Jia could only return them, and then transferred Sa Beining and others from last year again, which caused a craze for playing games within the CCTV anchor circle.
After all, now WCG is second only to the World Cup and the Olympics in popularity among all CCTV sports programs, this is a rare opportunity!
In addition, there was an extension of time, too.
The competition time of the first WCG was 5 days, but in the second edition, the time was extended to 12 days, after all, there were half more competitions, and there were more qualifiers, and more importantly, the finals of the competition were separated, and one event was played every day, so as to ensure that each event had enough heat.
Of course, there is another reason, that is, the sponsors of the first edition have protested, saying that 5 days is too short, and the publicity has just begun, and the competition is over.
So the time of WCG has been extended to 12 days, after all, the game still needs to serve commercial interests, and Boss Jia is still a businessman in essence.
And the 12 days correspond to exactly 12 competitions, so every day there will be a final of one event.
At the beginning of the first day, there is the final of the Pokemon project, as well as the preliminary round of Red Alert, which is the same as the first WCG, and as for the other competitions, you can basically rest on the first day and be a good spectator.
The reason why Pokemon was chosen is because Pokemon has the fewest contestants, that is, the champions, runners-up and runners-up of 12 tournaments around the world, a total of 36 people, and even the preliminaries are saved, and you can start the finals directly.
At the same time, all the machines and equipment of this game were naturally replaced with thousands of machines to handhelds, and the version also made it mandatory to use the version of "Pokemon Gold and Silver".
At the same time, a new rule appeared in the tournament this time, that is, all Pokemon with a race value of 600 or more are allowed to be used only one, and the others are not allowed to be used.
This is also a matter of no choice, at the time of the first competition, there were only two Pokemon with a race value of more than 600, Mewtwo and Dream.
But in the second session, there were two more divine beasts of more than 600 in one breath, so that there were four divine beasts, because of the huge advantage in the total clan value, almost all players would inevitably choose the four divine beasts +1 game lineup.
In fact, at the beginning of the 2nd Global Championship, the first leg of the game was all the lineup of the Four Divine Beasts + Water King, and all the players were the same, because this was the strongest lineup.
As a result, the first leg of the competition had a very bad reputation, and many spectators scolded it.
So the organizing committee urgently announced a reform, and only one divine beast was allowed to participate in the competition in the lineup.
However, this still can't stop the same lineup, at most, from 5 Pokemon to 10 Pokemon, and the lineup is seriously similar.
Later, a new rule was added, that is, the Pokemon used in the game are not allowed to be repeated, that is, in a game, from the preliminaries to the preliminary round and then to the finals, anyway, in the whole process of a game, a Pokemon is only allowed to be used once, and once it is played, it is not allowed to be used in the later games, which makes the Pokemon of the game become diversified again and full of tactics.
