Chapter 708 [2013 Ending]
Fang Hong came to the e-sports business department for more than half an hour, and after learning about the progress of various tasks, he was quite satisfied, and left after explaining some things.
The matter of e-sports can be put aside for a while, and the specific work can be carried out according to the plan.
On Saturday of the next day, WESA officially announced the specific distribution plan of the prize money for each project of the WCG2014 Super League pre-season, with a total prize pool of 15 million yuan for the seven major events of the preseason.
"League of Legends" allocated 5 million US dollars, about 30 million yuan; "Dota" 3.5 million US dollars, about 21 million yuan; "Counter-Strike" 2 million US dollars, about 12 million yuan; "Warcraft 3" 2 million US dollars, about 12 million yuan; "Star 2" is 1.5 million US dollars, about 9 million yuan, and "FIFA" project is 500,000 US dollars, about 3 million yuan; World of Tanks is $500,000, about 3 million yuan.
Among the seven official projects, "League of Legends" has allocated the largest amount of prize money, accounting for one-third of the total prize pool of the preseason, and the core weight of WESA's prize distribution for competition projects is to look at the popularity of the project, the more popular projects can get the bonus allocation, the more niche projects will get, and even if it is cool, it may be removed from the official project list.
In addition, the prize pool will be divided according to the current quota ratio for the summer regular season and fall super series.
For example, League of Legends will receive $6.66 million in the total prize pool of $20 million in the summer regular season, and $10 million in the fall Super Series.
For further details, the prize money for a single event is divided into 25% for the champion, 15% for the runner-up, 8% for the third place, 5% for the third place, 3% for the 5th to 8th places, 2% for the 9th to 16th places, and the remaining 22% of the prize money for the 17th to 40th places.
Even the bottom team still has a prize money, but the bottom team will definitely get the least.
According to this distribution ratio, based on the total prize pool of $5 million in League of Legends, the champion can get $1.25 million, the runner-up $750,000, the third place $400,000, the third place $250,000, the fifth to eighth places each $150,000, and the 9th to 16th places each have $100,000.
Even the bottom 40th place has a $20,000 prize.
Theoretically, if a club team finishes playing a League of Legends Super League, if the club team can win the preseason, regular season and super series at the same time, according to the currently determined prize distribution ratio, the prize money won by the three crowns is 5.415 million US dollars, which is equivalent to about 32.8 million yuan.
In addition to the Super League, there is also the Winter Nations Cup, which has a total prize pool of $35 million in seven events in the WCG2014 Nations Cup.
The prize pool distribution of the Nations Cup and the Super League have been fine-tuned, with only the 32 spots in the final stage receiving the prize money, and the Nations Cup is not limited to 40 places, which can theoretically be participated by any country.
According to the prize distribution plan announced by WESA, as the most popular "League of Legends" project, 12 million US dollars were allocated in the WCG2014 Nations Cup, of which the championship prize of the project can get 22%, that is, 2.64 million US dollars.
It can be seen that the transfer fee of the star players of the popular project has soared to 5 million yuan before the WCG2014 event has started, which is the result of the market game, indicating that it is worth this price.
Star players are not only the favorites to win the championship, but also have star players who will have more attention in the competition, and the new reward mechanism developed by WESA can share ticket revenue, broadcast copyright income, peripheral copyright income and so on.
Recently, the World E-sports Association WESA has disclosed one by one, which has made people in the e-sports circle excited, whether it is professional players or other practitioners in the industry, they are extremely convinced that e-sports will usher in the best era from the beginning of the WCG2014.
Qunxing Capital's support for the e-sports industry far exceeds that of the previous financier, Samsung Group, and the formulation of a series of more standardized and standard standards for the e-sports industry is for the long-term and healthy development of the industry, and it is very willing to spend money, with a budget of 500 million US dollars, that is, 3 billion yuan.
At the end of the week, there was news that sparked a heated discussion among esports players and esports players.
According to WESA insiders, the players who win the WCG Super League championship will have a specially customized championship ring, and the winner of the National Cup will engrave his name on the trophy, and after winning the championship, he can take the trophy home, but after the new National Cup is held next year, the trophy will be returned and a new competition will be launched, and the winner will be able to engrave the name on the trophy, and so on......
In addition, people familiar with the matter also broke the news that WESA is preparing for the "World Esports Hall of Fame".
Candidates are required to be recognized as the most outstanding and contributing esports player in each game, and a hard criterion for entering the Hall of Fame is that a player or team that has won one WCG Super League championship and one WCG Nations Cup in their career, or two WCG Nations Cups, can be selected.
The selected individuals are all legends of e-sports, and their fair competition and superior skill level convey the competitive spirit of WCG to the world, and at the same time, let the world deeply understand the meaning of e-sports.
This would also be the highest accolade for an esports player.
WCG2014 Super League preseason is just over a month away, and now it's already starting to build momentum and create buzz.
As soon as the World Esports Hall of Fame came out, it quickly aroused heated discussions among players, and a hot topic discussed by players was whether the former WCG Hall of Fame players would enter it, and one of the hot topics was whether Sky, who won the WCG Warcraft 3 double championship in 2005 and 2006, would enter the World Esports Hall of Fame.
WESA's insiders did not break the news further, which was intentional, and only in this way could there be heat of discussion.
……
The layout of e-sports has been settled, and in the next few days, Fang Hong will also shift his energy to other fields, as the ultimate boss of Qunxing Capital, it can be said that he takes good care of e-sports.
After all, the time of the big guy is limited, and there are more important areas than e-sports in his hands.
Time came to Tuesday, December 31, Fang Hong also put his vision back to the A-share market today, the last month of the year-end A-share market was very stretched, and the market index showed a unilateral decline after rushing to 2260.87 points in early December.
Today, the last trading day of 2013, the broad market index closed in the red, finally closing up +0.88% at 2115.98 points.
At around 16 o'clock in the afternoon, Fang Hong logged on to his personal Weibo and updated an article on the end of the year-end closing of A-shares:
[Time flies like a white horse, and there is no return. The A-share market in 2013 came to an end today amid an atmosphere of disappointment, helplessness and frustration among investors. The Shanghai Composite Index fell -7.58% during the year, only slightly better than the Baxi stock market (-15.50%) and the Turkish stock market (-13.07%), ranking third from the bottom.
In December last year, after three consecutive years of decline, the A-share market launched a large rally. At that time, the market generally believed that A-shares would embark on a bull market journey from the bottom. However, after a year, A-shares have been tossed up and down, and they are still standing still.
However, the differentiation pattern of A-shares is more obvious, and the ChiNext index inadvertently walked out of a wave of doubling bull market, which is basically in line with the forecast of the previous year.
This year has been a bumpy year for the main board market, but it has been a year of joy for the GEM. The speculation of GEM stocks is even hotter from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, and the liquor stocks that have been bullish for many years appear at the top of the list of decliners.
Looking back on the A-share market in 2013, the Shanghai Composite Index continued to bear to the end in recent years, not only breaking through the "founding bottom" of 1949 points, but even singing the "most dazzling breeze" near 1849 points. But is the A-share market really a dou that can't be supported? There used to be a time when there was a limelight, and for every shareholder, 6124 is a more profound number than their birthday.
But whether it is a profit or a loss this year, it is time to say goodbye to 2013.
Less conformity, more learning, eating, drinking, you don't have to cry for a certain part of your life or a wrong choice.
Life has to go on.
People will always be kidnapped by what they care about, pursuing fame and fortune, but they have never seriously examined their hearts.
But whether you want to or not, the fundamental law of all events in this world is that spring goes to autumn, and things must be reversed, otherwise they will come.
The same is true for the stock market. 】
