Chapter 5: Behind the Ambition (8)
Li Yan: "The ideal situation is for an authoritative organization like the Olympic Committee to come forward and organize it, which can compete in the form of countries and regions, and adopt a system similar to the gold medal record. Imagine that a gamer A has followed this authoritative third-party event because of the game, but his favorite game project has not achieved a good result. But at the same time, inspired by national honor, he may also pay attention to the situation of the B game that has achieved good results. In this way, it has led to the interconnection and common development of the entire game industry. ”
Me: "It also avoids a situation where the first party organizes the event to be dominant. "I remembered Liu Chuanhao's experience, and I have to say that the official of the "Book Title" league really didn't take the team as a person.
Li Yan: "First-party events are of course also very important, but with the common platform of third-party events, everyone will have comparisons, competitions, learn from each other, and achieve a win-win situation." However, Mr. Wang himself said that this is too idealistic, there must be a lot of difficulties and resistances in the face, there are too many things worth studying in the details of the event, and there is a long way to go, so let's do our job first. ”
Li Yan: "There is also this board, which is about the prize money of the event, and we plan to learn from the experience of that advanced MOBA game, and after the end of each league, a part of the game revenue will be accumulated into the prize pool, which will be transparent to players in real time. This not only ensures the income of the tournament prize money to increase the motivation of the professional players, but also increases the sense of participation of the players. ”
Me: "If the prize money is high, it can also avoid the occurrence of match-fixing and gambling to a certain extent. ”
Li Yan: "These are all contents that are still in the planning stage, let's finally look at the actual ones." ”
We came to the last room, which was also the largest room on this floor. Ten computers are arranged face-to-face in the room, and there is a projector in the middle, which is arranged quite like a small e-sports hall.
Li Yan: "Many players have complained that the fan circle has impacted the culture of the e-sports circle and brought a lot of bad habits and habits. But as far as our research goes, for professional teams and players, fans have about 10 times the spending power and willingness to spend as the average gamer. Did you know that the moon god has a white swordsman's robe? ”
Me: "Yes. "I don't just know that I have pooled money to buy it or not, and I spent a lot of game currency, and I was complained by Xie Liuying as a "loser" at that time. However, if you don't have enough in-game currency, you can buy it with money.
Li Yan: "We have counted that 90% of the players who buy this set of skins have an arena score of less than 1,000 points, and more than half of them have no arena points. In other words, many players don't have a high level of their own games and can't even understand the high-end operations of Luna, but this does not prevent them from spending money on Luna. ”
Xie Liuying: "This is embarrassing, the number of people in the e-sports circle is not as large as the number of people in the fan circle, and the consumption power is not as good as others. ”
Me: "And emphasizing the supremacy of strength is not necessarily a healthy public opinion environment, is the sports circle really a pure land?" When it comes to Dayang, the fans of "Enemy Du" and "Huddle Zhan" can still hack each other endlessly, and the fans of "Briquette King" and "Alphabet Luo" are still complaining about the lack of gold content of each other's Golden Ball Awards. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and there is a group of angry people in any circle, and it is not appropriate to blindly deduct the pot to the audience from the rice circle. ”
Xie Liuying: "I didn't expect you to have such thoughts as a straight man." ”
Me: "I'm just talking about things, have we seen less online violence over the years?" Everyone who wants to clean up the environment of the esports world should start with themselves, some people like the content of the competition, and there will be people who like the people who participate in the competition. You can criticize, but try to be reasonable, you can have a favorite player, but don't try to discredit his opponent. ”
Li Yan: "I heard that Mr. Chen, you are a fan of the moon god, but you have always admired Brother Tian. ”
Me: "This is a very simple logic, if, as some extreme fans say, Brother Tian is just a player who relies on the system, his teammates and even on the skill developer, then such a person Moon God can't get the championship from him, isn't it a disguised black idol of his own idol?" In sports, only better opponents can make each other better, I think so. ”
Li Yan: "It's a pity, many people in the circle don't have such ideas now, so Mr. Wang said that the e-sports industry needs people like you to lead a new atmosphere." ”
Me: "This ...... Mr. Wang thinks too highly of me, let's go back to the problem of the fan economy. ”
Li Yan: "Since the two of you have a rational understanding of the fan economy, then it will be easy to talk about later." Our next step is to extend the lives of pro players. The average professional lifespan of an esports player is shorter than in most traditional sports, with some star players at their peak for three years or less. Even a genius like Luna, at the age of 25, can only choose to retire. ”
Xie Liuying: "I understand that the player's career is too short, which is not conducive to the accumulation of fans. ”
Li Yan: "So we're going to make some changes to the details of the match, so that the older players have an advantage mainly because of experience, and the younger players have an advantage that is mainly about their reflexes. With these changes, we hope to reinforce the importance of experience in winning and losing, and to be more strategic and creative than reflexive in future matches. ”
Me: "Makes sense, but you still haven't mentioned what this room is for?" ”
Li Yan looked around: "There are no professional-level players on this floor now, so let's ask the two of you to play a game and experience our new viewing system for yourself." ”
Me: "The two of us? ”
Li Yan: "That's right. ”
We sat down in front of the two computers facing each other and started the game. I noticed that there were several things that looked like cameras on the side and screen of the computer.
Li Yan clapped her hands and shouted to the employees who worked this floor: "There are two masters PK here, come and take a look at the work in your hands." ”
As soon as she said this, some people left their workstations and came to the room curiously to watch:
"Where? Where? ”
"I haven't seen these two, they're not professionals."
"Wow, handsome guy and beautiful woman......"
……
Me: "......"
Xie Liuying: "......"
Although I have the experience of being an online anchor and being watched by my brothers in the dormitory, it is the first time that I have been watched and played by a group of people who are completely unfamiliar with me on an unfamiliar occasion, and I can't help but be a little shy. However, on the other side, Xie Liuying seemed to be a person born for a big scene, she smiled politely at the onlookers, and started the battle with me.
Li Yan simply operated and loaded the test environment of the viewing system. Xie Liuying's test characters and I instantly arrived in a magnificent arena, surrounded by layers of audience seats, and the picture was extremely expressive.
Xie Liuying and I had a casual fight, and the special audience around me also talked about it. It can be seen that these people really like the game they participated in making, and as long as we have fun, they will feel happy.
