Chapter 1209: The Kings Are Coming

These two game companies have also attracted the attention of global companies, once they successfully land on WCG and reap huge commercial benefits, then I believe that latecomers will join WCG one after another, and the entire e-sports industry will expand again.

It is precisely because of this that the International Esports Federation actually adheres to the principle of maximum openness for other game companies to join.

Boss Jia even said publicly that even if Nintendo wants to join the WCG, as long as all the procedures and data meet the requirements, it can join the WCG without any other restrictions.

It's a pity that Nintendo also wants to save face, they haven't made any more applications to the International E-sports Federation, and even the e-sports events that were held last year have all been suspended, and it is said that they are dedicated to research and development, and they want to make a new generation of game handhelds.

In addition to the breakthroughs made in game companies and projects, the 2nd WCG also made a breakthrough in the contestants.

First of all, compared to last year's first WCG, the number of participants in the second WCG exceeded 3,000, but the number of players from the U.S. team dropped to about 300.

At the same time, the number of Chinese teams has also increased to about 300, becoming the two countries with the largest number of participants.

On top of that, there are a total of 78 countries from all over the world, which is twice as many countries as last year, and from this point of view, the WCG has indeed become more international.

And the most unbelievable thing is that in the second WCG, there was actually another king, that is, ST King Ibrahim.

When the king was a prince, he was very obsessed with games, and later succeeded to the throne without letting go of his love for games.

And he especially likes fighting games, and he is also a master of "Sword Art Online", so this time he represented ST and participated in the Sword Art Online competition, and actually became a professional e-sports player.

Well, that is, the king of ST can do such a thing, and the kings of other countries really don't have such freedom!

Of course, the appearance of King ST really shocked the lonely people of Yuzhang.

For example, a convoy of 20 gold Rolls-Royces airlifted, as well as three private jets, with a private team of more than 300 people, served our ST king from all aspects.

Along with the private jet, dozens of various livestock and ingredients from all over the world were brought by King ST because he was worried that he would not be able to eat delicious food and ingredients in China.

In the end, King ST chartered a new five-star hotel in Yuzhang as his place to stay, and the pomp was strong, so that Boss Jia, the richest man in China, was also amazed, he had never played like this in his life!

Finally, at the opening ceremony, the ST king served as the flag bearer of his national team, leading 24 players on the stage.

To be reasonable, if based on individual ability, including the ST king, these 24 players are not eligible for the competition.

But he is the ST king, and after the International Esports Federation learned the news, he immediately consulted our boss Jia.

So, Boss Jia gave instructions to "support the development of backward areas in the e-sports industry, and then specially approved a total of 24 competition places for ST, 12 competitions, 2 for each competition." ”

Then King ST funded a national tournament and you selected 24 champions and runners-up in each event to compete! That's what allowed ST to come out with a team that looked pretty good.

And these ST players who participated in the competition also said that it was the biggest dream in their lives to be able to board their king's private jet, enjoy the treatment of the king, and chat with the king and become friends.

Of course, the ST team did not do very well in the next game, except for the ST King himself, who reached the semi-finals, and the others were basically eliminated in the qualifying stage.

As for why the ST King was able to get the top 4, it is a matter of the benevolent and the wise, anyway, the players who lost to the ST King are very happy, those who buy cars buy cars, those who buy houses buy houses, those who get married get married, and their lives are at the peak.

And the influence of ST Kings participating in the WCG is also unparalleled, which makes WCG and e-sports appear in the eyes of high-end people around the world for the first time, and then leave a deep memory......

Especially for several countries and kings near ST, these kings are not good at governing the country, but after comparing them to others, after seeing that King ST achieved the 4th place, they expressed envy and jealousy, and then at next year's WCG, they also organized their own country's teams or something.

Well, that's all for later.

Like the first WCG, the 2nd WCG had a grand opening ceremony.

First of all, the thunderous symphony performance, this time the symphony combination has become more exquisite and magnificent, and the orchestra playing the symphony has also changed from the Chinese National Orchestra to the Philharmonic Orchestra of the People's Republic of China, the world's top music orchestra.

As for why this orchestra is willing to appear at the opening ceremony of an e-sports competition, it can only be said that Boss Jia gave too much.

Last year, after the symphony performance, it was the athletes who entered the stadium.

But the second edition was a little more commanding, and this time there was a cosplay performance that sparked cheers from the audience.

The first thing that appears is the Sword Art Online performance.

In fact, for cos performances on the stage of e-sports, many viewers in another world are 100,000 complaining, the reason is very simple, that is, these performances are too embarrassing.

These COS characters all have the ability to call the wind and rain in the game, but when performing, they become praisers who twist their waists and bend their hips and pose for all kinds of embarrassing poss.

This is also a common problem of COS performances, that is, the sense of stage and dance is too sufficient, and it doesn't feel like restoring the classic scene at all, but just dancing awkwardly in Cos's clothes.

Later, some people even said that cos is only suitable for taking pictures, not for performances.

In this way, many e-sports competitions simply gave up the cos performance link later, and the province was scolded and embarrassed.

Boss Jia naturally understands this, so he very wittily chose "Sword Art Online" as the opening performance project, for the simple reason that "Sword Art Online" can be fought.

At the beginning of the performance, there was no nonsense, one black and one white sword shadow directly killed, and then the black-clothed swordsman and the white-clothed goddess were directly in the center of the stage, where the magnesium lights were condensed, and they were directly engaged in a fierce battle.

Idea, this is not an elegant performance on the stage, nor is it an elegant slow motion with one move from you to one move, but a real weapon battle.

The speed of the battle on both sides was extremely fast, so fast that the audience could almost only see the sword shadow, and in just one second, three or four weapons were heard, and then there was a crisp and pleasant sound of the sword, which was a real battle.

And the movements of both sides are also very exaggerated, what kind of turning back sword, a word horse or something is considered a normal level, among which the black-clothed sword is fighting, and it jumps up directly, flies to a height of more than ten meters, and then stabs down from the sky.

At this time, the audience watching the live broadcast all over the world exclaimed, this battle is really handsome!!
