Players who don't have much time and energy can also improve their character's various levels while having fun playing the game. There will not be a situation where you will be left behind by other players after not playing for a while.

Li Yan: "That's probably the case on mobile," she said, opening the door to her room, "Let's go see something else." ”

She pointed to the next room: "These are tests of the numerical balance **** economic system and new modeling. It's boring, you shouldn't be interested, let's go directly to the back and see what is most relevant to you. ”

Me: "The most relevant to us?" ”

Li Yan smiled: "E-sports." ”

She led us to a room where there were no computers or projectors for displays, all of which were all kinds of display boards with text written on them.

Li Yan: "There are too many words, let me talk about it." These boards are all Mr. Wang's planning for e-sports events. ”

Xie Liuying: "So much? ”

Li Yan: "He attaches great importance to the game, and a professional league is one of the guarantees of the long-term vitality of the game. ”

I thought of the rhetoric that Wang Jing used the popularity of the league to feed the game itself.

Li Yan came to a board: "This is about the improvement plan of the game's professionalism, and the core of this plan is to develop a training design platform exclusive to the team's trainers?" ”

Although I have played a lot of games and have always paid attention to e-sports, I actually didn't understand what she said. Xie Liuying and I glanced at each other, and it was obvious that she was the same.

Li Yan's reaction to us was not surprising: "If a profession wants to be respected by other people, it must raise its professional threshold and let people know that not everyone can do it." Nowadays, most people's concept of esports players is still stuck in 'isn't it just a group of people who play games?' What could be the big deal? ' of the stage. Objectively speaking, many game professionals and amateurs do not have a fundamental gap. In some high-end arenas or qualifying matches, the two sides often win and lose each other. With the popularity of live streaming platforms, it is easier for everyone to have the feeling that 'professional players are just like that'. This is not conducive to the popularity of the league and the star-making movement. ”

Li Yan: "What we have to do is to raise the threshold of the profession, distinguish between professional training and amateur training, and truly open the gap between professional players and amateur masters." ”

Me: "It doesn't seem like there's a way to solve it, firstly, most of the pros are selected from amateur masters, and secondly, almost all the pros in the game need to be matched in their respective game systems when training. The number of professional players is small, and the training of competitive games is confrontation, and if there is not a sufficient number of 'amateur players', then the professional players will lose the training environment. ”

Xie Liuying: "Since these two are playing in the same environment, naturally there is not much gap. ”

Li Yan: "Yes, but this is not the case with traditional sports, and there is a very big gap between professional and non-professional sports in traditional sports. The reason for this is that professional sports people have more professional venues and more professional training conditions. And we're about to create that. ”

Me: "As long as you have a computer, you can play the game, and it doesn't rely too much on the field like football." ”

Li Yan: "That's why we've created a venue where the trainer system that is currently under development will only be open to professional teams, and teams will basically have dedicated trainers. How to design an environment that helps the team members to improve their level quickly will be an important topic for trainers in the future. ”

Li Yan: "For example, throwing knives are a very difficult weapon to use. ”

Me: "That's good. ”

Li Yan: "Ordinary players who want to practice throwing knives can only go to the platoon arena and fight against other players. ”

Me: "That's right. ”

Li Yan: "But in the trainer system, it is allowed to design moving targets in various directions, sizes, and rates. A knife player can focus on an afternoon dedicated to practicing shooting. This kind of practice is definitely much more efficient for special improvement than in the volleyball arena, which is what I said before as a 'professional venue'. ”

Li Yan: "Similarly, for a swordsman like Mr. Chen, you can design a wooden figure that is enclosed, you can design a narrow or open environment, or even high and low terrain to assist training, so that you can achieve twice the result with half the effort as long as you design a reasonable environment according to the part you want to strengthen." ”

Me: "That's true, so that the gap between professional and non-professional should be able to widen quickly." ”

Li Yan: "Both of you should be able to see that we are not trying to raise the threshold for entering the industry, but to ensure that when you cross the threshold of your career, you can get faster promotion." The gap between professional and non-professional has been widened, and the professionalism and authority of the league have been guaranteed. To a certain extent, it will reduce some of the 'hands on the Internet' arguments. ”

Li Yan: "This board is Mr. Wang's plan for third-party events. ”

Me: "Third-party events? Aren't all the "Book Title" leagues run by you? You have the highest say in this, so why do you want to run a third-party event? ”

Li Yan: "Wang has always been an idealist, he not only wants to do his game well, but also wants to completely change the industry. ”

Yes, although we only spent an afternoon together, it was clear that this person had ambitions in this regard.

Me: "So what's the point for this?" ”

Li Yan: "Mr. Wang may have mentioned to you that there are too many types of games now, there are too many e-sports projects, and everyone plays and pays attention to them differently, and it is difficult for a single game to form a lasting popularity like traditional sports." ”

Me: "He did say that, but he also said at the time that 'this kind of world-class problem' and he didn't have a problem. ”

Xie Liuying: "It's like there are fewer people singing KTV now, just because there are too many songs and too many singers now, even if everyone gets together, I may not have heard the songs you sing at all, let alone sing with you, so naturally there is a lot less fun." Unlike before, when everyone listened to Zhou Moulun, there were many songs that could be sung together and there were many common topics. ”

Li Yan: "What Miss Xie said is that the current situation in the game industry is also like this. RTS, FPS, MOBA, RPG, sports, chess, ...... There are so many competitive games in just one category, not to mention that there is more than one popular game in each category. I don't know if Mr. Wang's method is useful, but it is definitely not completely impossible. And this method is to form a third-party event like the Olympics. ”

Her words made me think about whether this method would work for a while.
