Xia Qingyu is wearing a black striped suit with both casual and professional characteristics today, a white shirt underneath, well-cut black trousers and high heels, which makes her already long legs with amazing proportions even more shocking. With-Dream- . lā

In order to make herself look more capable, she also put on a pair of gold-framed glasses, without the pure decoration of lenses, standing alone in the middle of the podium, looking full of domineering female presidents.

The lights have dimmed throughout the venue, and some of the remaining soft light is dominated by blue and gray, allowing all the audience to focus on the podium.

Xia Qingyu held the remote control of PPT in his hand, Tingting Yuli, at first glance, he came to many media arrays, and he must have a high opinion.

"There is no host invited today, we are simple, mainly to announce a few news to everyone, I believe you have already seen it in the short video just now."

"First of all, the Blue Fish Network will unite 16 "Eternal War" teams across the country to start the 2008 season of the Eternal War National Professional League."

The large screen behind the podium also shows the name of the series: Offense Never Ends Champions League (OCL) and the tournament logo.

A golden metallic five-pointed star, with a hollow texture like a wing feather on the left half, forms a distinctive and very simple logo, which can be remembered and impressive at a glance. And this patterned texture, which is between metal and diamond, gives a hint of the high standard of the event.

Below the five stars are the four Chinese characters of the same golden "Champions League", but it is really difficult to see the symbol of the event with Chinese characters as the main body...... Below the Chinese characters is the English abbreviation of OCL and the full English name of the reduced font size.

The flashing lights in the audience began to flicker wildly, but fortunately, the media were mentally prepared just now.

Xia Qingyu waited for a while, and then said: "Everyone should be more concerned about the start time of the competition, the schedule setting, the participating teams, the prize money and other settings. "I clicked on the remote control again, and the big screen switched to a picture with the schedule of the Champions League.

"The 2008 season of the Eternal War Champions League is not a registration system, but an invitation system, and we will invite 16 teams from all over the country to officially start the first season on August 2."

Could it be that the top 16 of the Qingyu Cup are directly invited? No, there are also a few grassroots non-professional teams in the round of 16, which should not be in the professional league.

After the end of the registration for the Herring Fish Cup, many e-sports clubs have set up their own eternal battle teams, which can be said to be long overdue, and they should be selected among those teams.

And with more than a month to go, the level of Eternal Fight competition at that time should also be higher than it is now, and that is the professional event that truly represents the highest level of ONE competition in China.

"As for the schedule and participating teams, there is no way to disclose them to you for the time being, but what can be told to you is that the total prize money of this year's Champions League will be as high as 1.53 million yuan."

The screen changed to list the prize money for all places from the overall champion to the 16th place in the season, ranging from 500,000 yuan for the champion to 20,000 yuan for the 8th to 16th place.

The herring network is really rich...... It is not a public company, so it is not obligated to release their financial statements to the public, and they have not published them.

Therefore, both the media and players only predict from the revenue data of their games, but there is no doubt that everyone knows that the revenue of the whole company of Qingyu Network is now definitely ranked among the domestic game companies.

Now the total prize money is 1 million yuan, and the total investment of 6 million yuan in the herring cup has just ended, and the residual temperature has not yet dissipated, and it is time to change to other companies to taste the fruits of the harvest, and they are now non-stop to open the professional league while it is hot, and the total prize money is as high as 1.53 million yuan, so what kind of terrifying level will the other event organization and publicity costs reach?

At least at the level of 10 million yuan.

This kind of wealth is only an investment in the event, not the game itself, and Tenghua also announced the "Beyond the Line of Fire" in the 100-city league some time ago, and I haven't seen such crazy money burning.

It can be said that there has never been an e-sports competition of this scale in China, and it is a bit of a taste of competing with some traditional sports.

"Starting next year, each season of the championship year will be divided into two phases: the regular season in the first half of the year and the playoffs in the second half of the year, and the Champions League will also be expanded to 32 teams, in the first half of the regular season teams will compete for playoff spots, and then in the second half of the year to determine the regional champion."

Xia Qingyu replied: "A little digression, I don't know if you have imagined the leisure life of players in the future, in addition to working on weekdays, on weekends, they can also watch one or two wonderful e-sports matches through live media, or go to offline venues to feel the enthusiasm and competitive atmosphere, every week." Just as it is a habit for people living in cities such as Madrid or Barcelona in Spain, London and Manchester in the UK, Milan and Turin in Italy to go to the football stadium every weekend to watch their own league. ”

"Why can't esports?" Xia herring road.

"At present, there are more than 30 professional eternal battle teams in the country, and we are also preparing for a second level of development league in addition to the Champions League, so as to provide strong fresh blood for the Champions League."

Only then did the media know that the ambition of Qingyu Network was so big, they never just paid attention to how many active users or the number of people online at the same time in "Eternal War", they didn't just want to make a popular game, what they wanted to do turned out to be so big.

It sounds wonderful, but it's also far away.

But that's just the beginning.

Traditional esports sports are not possible, and their player base is very limited, but Eternal War is different, some casual players, female gamers are also addicted, and it has the same appeal to so many pan-users.

Then let them try it, shall we?

Xia Qingyu then began to describe to the media the e-sports ecosystem in her mind, from sponsors, media broadcasts, content production, e-sports players, players and viewers.

It's a good thing to describe to the media, and this one is enough for them to write a special report, and maybe there is a derivative Chinese e-sports market research report.

Of course, this kind of report has been done by Qingyu Network for a long time, and a third-party data research company has been commissioned to investigate and analyze the attributes of the domestic e-sports market in all aspects, from online to offline, from Internet cafes to individual broadband users.

That's what she said when she first talked to Ji Qinlin a few months ago, so Ji Qinlin agreed to join the herring fish cup, and now the things she described after the herring cup are more perfect, and the future of that description looks a little closer than before.

The media didn't have time to be shocked and emotional, they were all professional, and those emotions should be slowly vented after the press conference, and now it is imperative to quickly record the main points.

Described the strategy of herring fish e-sports over and over again, and then said: "The next thing is about herring FG and its value, I'll drink saliva first, and this part will be replaced." ”

So Xia Qingyu walked down the podium directly and handed the remote control to Ye Shenxi, the man who had been half-squinting just now and didn't know whether he was asleep or awake.

Ye Shenxi quietly gave Xia Qingyu a thumbs up to express his admiration, and the two of them could see it themselves, and then walked up to the podium. And Xia Qingyu actually sat directly in Ye Shenxi's position, and the media complained in their hearts while capturing the record, it's not so showy......

After Ye Shenxi walked onto the podium, the big screen switched to today's second module, and it was already clearly written on the PPT, "The largest comprehensive digital distribution platform in China." ”

"Hello everyone." Ye Shenxi greeted briefly: "I'm Pasca Ye Shenxi." ”

There is really no need to add some prefixes or descriptions to his two names.

"Thank you, Mr. Xia, for describing a bright future for us in the e-sports industry, and I am also fascinated by it."

You are fascinated by the people in the stands, shameless, do you want to praise each other so much, you are enough.

That's what the media in the audience thinks.

"I returned to Huangpu on June 15th, and before that, I was busy with a single game as a solo producer, and I also went around the capital and met with many stand-alone game agencies and independent game producers."

The style of this sentence changed suddenly, from the nonsense that could not be scrapped in the previous game, it suddenly became this sentence, and the amount of information exploded.

It seems that the media's ability to receive information is completely ignored.

"However, this matter has been decided a long time ago, and Qingyu Network wants to be a digital distribution platform for stand-alone games."

The audience was in an uproar.

For a while, no one knew how to evaluate this decision.

"Everyone knows very well that the domestic stand-alone game market in recent years has been completely in a cold winter, but there are still people who are constantly trying to break the ice and test whether the market has picked up, but they have not received good feedback. The reason is very complicated, there is a market, there are players, of course, it is more of our own developers, and I don't want to spend too much time discussing this here, but in fact, there is another very important reason, the cost of publishing and promoting single-player games has been high. ”

"When I was in the capital before, I also calculated a simple account with Zhan Ping, the general manager of Huanyu Star, and Mr. Zhan. If the game was distributed digitally, our costs would have been reduced by more than 30%. ”

"Then why not?"

"Will players reject digital distribution? Just look at how enthusiastic everyone is about online games, aren't they all clients downloaded from the Internet? If online games can, why can't single-player games? The number of active users of STEEM abroad has exceeded 20 million. ”

"This week, we have released the download of the herring game platform client FG, I don't know if you have seen it."

The interface of FG appears on the screen.

"Among the three main features of this update, I can tell you that two of them are paving the way for this single-player game publishing platform."

"In the future, FG will have three core functions, not only for players, but also for developers."

"The first is a one-click service that integrates stand-alone game purchase, download, installation, patch upgrade and other functions, please look at the big screen."

There are two concept images on the screen, one of the game store that flashed in the short film, and the other of a game called "Survival" on the platform being installed.

Is this the game store, this image can definitely be used as a press release cover.

The cover is [Featured Recommendation], as well as the [Limited Time Discount] below, and the [My Store] above, and there are more filter buttons in the left column...... There are also many filters by genre such as action, adventure, shooting, racing, and more.

This mall only has this one picture, but it completely has a dizzying feeling, and there is too much content.

Everyone can only hope that Mr. Ye on the stage will not jump to the next picture soon, and let people watch it for a while.

"The whole process does not require players to have extra operations,Even in the future when the version is updated, it will automatically detect the server-side version,And then silently upgrade,Of course, if you feel that the network speed is occupied,Watching movies and the like is a bit stuck,You can turn off automatic updates,Set it to manual can also be。

"Hahaha." There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

Ye Shenxi continued: "The concept of stand-alone games and online games will become more and more blurred in the future, and with the popularity of the Internet and home broadband users, players will be less and less in a situation where there is no network. In addition to the above services,The herring fish platform will also provide archive cloud save function,Anti-cheat function,Player account function,All the games you buy will be recorded and saved in your personal herring fish account,This authorization is theoretically permanent,Even if you change equipment or go to an Internet café,You no longer need to buy it again,You no longer need to take a U disk to copy the archive to inherit。 ”

This is the complete body of the herring platform, it sounds ...... It's pretty good, so many rankings that sound reliable, or these bosses will blow.

Ye Shenxi said: "This mall will provide each game with a platform to fully display its product features, so that players can effectively analyze whether it is suitable for themselves, which is also one of the most important concepts of the Qingyu platform to help players find good games." ”

Switch to another picture on the big screen, which is the game interface called "Survival" just now.

The largest chunk of the interface is occupied by a video that is playing, is this a promotional animation for "Survival" or a test screen? The window below also provides more screenshots of the game to view.

On the right side is the main information of the game, including a brief introduction to the game, the developer and publisher, the game's positive rating, and short sentences similar to the labels: single-player, free-to-play, strategy, cloud saves, FG achievements unlocked, no in-app purchases, and a tab is...... The Eternal War?

The first few are still understandable, this last one...... What is the meaning?

"We want every player to fully understand the characteristics of the game, and of course, it will not be limited to the game company's own publicity and evaluation, which is the second function of the herring fish platform FG, a perfect player communication community."

The media only felt that the impact was wave after wave, and other companies would be eager to hold a press conference if they had the slightest movement, but the herring fish network was generally not opened, and it was so big as soon as it came.

Not to mention the players, the media themselves are not very easy to digest.
