Chapter 245: The possibility of reshuffling the esports market
Every popular online game basically has strong social attributes.
Your friends have gone to play a certain game, so many players in the market have gone to play a certain game, and if you don't play, you just don't fit in.
A whole class, a whole company, is playing the same game, and if you don't play, you don't have a common topic with them.
Many times playing games becomes a process of making friends and mingling with circles.
After all, human beings are social creatures.
Moreover, gaming is actually a good topic for some single men and women.
"Do you play XX?"
This sentence, many times, can basically become a hub for chatting between two people who don't know each other.
Through colorful CG animations to attract players into the pit.
Lower the barrier to entry for the game, use the cute art style to keep more female players, and then use female players to attract male players, and finally the male gamer's friends have to come over to play together.
For a game to become a phenomenal game, luck has a big influence.
But if you just want to become a hit, in fact, under the premise of being willing to invest money in the development and promotion of the game regardless of the cost, there are actually many established templates to operate in the online game circle.
League of Legends has been steady every step so far.
But at the same time, the operators of the Dota Flame Country are a little numb.
Originally, it was just an auto-chess game to grab the heat of the Genting game, but if it was just a normal battle for people, Dota would not be afraid of it.
The installed capacity of the client is here, and the accumulation of so many years is not something that can be touched by auto-chess that has only been online for a few months.
Who would have thought that the original heart did not take any action at all in the promotion of Genting Game, but directly began to promote the League of Legends regardless of the cost!
First of all, some veteran players who are tired of playing Dota want to try it out.
This time, eh, I think this game is quite easy to play.
There are many newcomers in the pit, and there are pits on both sides, and there is no concept of oppression of newcomers.
On the contrary, they are veteran players with MOBA experience who can play the operation, in exchange for the 666 and kneeling licks of their teammates.
Then there were some female players who were attracted by the CG painting style to enter the game to test the waters, and a large wave of game turtle men were brought in.
The publicity effect is still terrifying, and when the children in the school are already discussing things like the three brothers in the bush and the real man in five seconds, the popularity of League of Legends can no longer be suppressed.
In just half a year's work, at least in China, the popularity of League of Legends has been able to touch Dota.
The operation side of the Dota Flame Country is being held accountable by the V Society, why has the turnover and the number of people online at the same time decreased so much in the last quarter.
And when you know the specific situation, you can only order this side to find a way to try to prevent the loss of players.
Yanguo's face is green on this side.
I'm just a chess player, why do you want to dig up my roots!
Geneva!
originally thought that Moba and Dota were the first in the world, who would have thought that there would be such a fledgling dark horse?
It's also a MOBA mode that comes with the kickstarter of an auto-chess game!
Off the beaten track!
When the relevant data of the latest quarter of the games on both sides was uploaded to the Internet by the game self-media, the editors were also like hyenas smelling the smell of meat, and they were full of firepower!
Regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, the shock mode directly began.
Shocked! The world's No. 1 MOBA game was defeated by a game mod! 》
"There's always a MOBA for you, if it's not Dota, it's League of Legends"
"Mr. Luo is crazy! This time, the goal is to be the world's No. 1 MOBA game"
On the operation side of the Dota Yanguo, it has also increased the investment of funds.
There are also a variety of activities.
I want to bring back those old players who "abandoned the light and turned to the dark".
However, Chuxin's side has not yet made any response to the activities on the Dota side, but it is the domestic game clubs of all sizes that have begun to make moves.
The sense of smell of capital is always much sharper than that of ordinary people.
When they noticed the dark horse of League of Legends, a series of industrial chains related to "events", "spinach" and "teams" had already taken root in their minds.
The league on Dota's side has also been running for so many years, and there are so many teams back and forth.
The economic benefits associated with a new phenomenal game, a national online game, are very large.
Moreover, in the area of e-sports, there are too many places to make oil and water.
A completely blank market, a huge cake is in front of their eyes.
And what is the most important thing? The developers of League of Legends are the original intention!
It's a domestic company!
Of course, League of Legends is currently in the international arena, and it is certainly impossible for it to have such an influence as Dota.
The large clubs in China basically have the idea of playing two shots with or without dates, and have established news of game teams related to them.
"DFG Game Club, officially established League of Legends Division......"
“WWG……”
“BD……”
Some game clubs that are familiar in the Dota world have officially announced on Weibo, which can be regarded as officially pushing this fire to the highest peak.
It can be regarded as putting a problem on the table.
Is League of Legends really that hot right now? Can you wrestle your wrist with Dota?
Netizens also have their own opinions.
"I feel that it is still far away, LOL is also a little hot in China, and I can't even make a splash when I put it abroad.
You said that you want to form a world-class game event, but at the last glance, it will only be participated by a few clubs in China, and it will be a shame to say it, okay, don't make me laugh. ”
"Mr. Luo still has connections, not to mention anything else, as far as the game of Genting is concerned, it is very popular in Europe and the United States now, and the data of League of Legends is not very clear.
If you want to say that other domestic game companies will fight in the nest, then I don't have anything to say, the original people are really aiming at foreign markets every game.
As far as these stand-alone games are concerned, the consumption of foreign players is the biggest source of money, so we can only wait and see. ”
"If you look closely at the list of members of the branches formed by these clubs, you can see that they are basically playing Dota and taking a back seat.
Or it's really a water cooler member who stinks too much, and the domestic game club doesn't take this game too seriously, okay, it's just rubbing the heat. ”
"I don't know anything else, as soon as the Chuxin online game goes out, in addition to taking away more than 200 people from Chuxin, hundreds of people have been recruited one after another in the past six months, and there are almost thousands of people.
Every month's salary is quite a huge expense, and Mr. Luo's great support, coupled with the good reputation of Chuxin, I think it's still a bit of a statement. ”
And when the players were reveling because of the news related to the League of Legends, Luo Bai was also calling one phone after another.
In addition to some friends in the same industry, more are actually some emerging game club owners in China.
There are really a lot of rich people in China, and they love financial management, and these guys lose dozens or hundreds of small goals in financial management every year.
Even so, I still have a lot of fun.
But the cake in the market is so big, and all industries have basically become saturated, and people like them who only have funds and no resources have no chance to enter the game.
There are some who have forced their way into the game, and they are basically losing money.
The owners of these new gaming clubs, for example, are a stark example.
The source of their original capital cannot be investigated, and they like to conform to the herd - whatever makes money on the market, they follow it.
A few years ago, when the Dota event was at its most popular, the major game clubs made a lot of money just from endorsement fees, not to mention other things such as peripherals and copyrights.
That's when these people got in.
I formed a club and designed just an online game called Dota.
I spent money to find a bunch of coaches and analysts, and then signed some veterans who were at the top of the ladder or on the verge of retirement, and started playing.
First there was the Internet café league, then the secondary league.
As for the main competition...... That thing hasn't been up there.
Just kidding, what talented teenager wouldn't want to go to the biggest club to show his skills? What coaching analyst wouldn't want to be paid better?
In terms of capital, you can't compare with others at all.
What's more, the entire selection mechanism for the Dota International Tournament slot was created by those big clubs and the operators of the Dota Flame Country.
If you really want to play with you, don't you just rub it as much as you want?
As for fairness?
Only those who are also able to eat at the table are qualified to negotiate fairness with them.
In the era of e-sports, the era of sleeping in Internet cafes, insisting on training even if you can't afford to eat, and if you can win the championship, you will soar to the sky.
Today's esports are less pure and more commercial.
But I have to say that the living conditions and professional future of the players have been greatly improved and improved.
The ceiling of the esports player has been greatly raised.
As long as you have grades, you are the brightest star.
Champion, have it all!
These bosses obviously don't understand the e-sports industry, and they will only look for professional managers who they are looking for when they encounter problems.
A professional manager with a bit of conscience can also lead the whole club to rush upward, go to the second league, and help the young people with a little talent in the team find a qualified next home.
In exchange for an Internet meme such as "gathering is a piece of, scattering is full of stars".
Those who have no conscience are directly moths, the players' salaries are filled with their own pockets, and the funds issued above are all embezzled, and in the end they leave a mess and run away directly.
This is the state of existence of small clubs.
You're just a little late, and there's no room for you to grow upwards in this business.
The club lost money every year, but it was impossible to sign a short-term contract when the club was founded.
If you pinch your nose, you can only continue to lose.
Because your club is gone, you lose more.
But now, the emergence of League of Legends seems to have made these people see some turnarounds.
If you can lay out the professional events of League of Legends in advance, you can completely ignore the twists and turns of the Dota event.
All achievements speak, as long as you can win the championship, you can turn losses into profits and earn back all the losses you lost before!
As for not winning the championship? Can it be worse than it is now?
Of course, now that League of Legends does not have such a big influence at all, can this world-level event be held, and can it be followed by enough players.
These are just an unknown.
But again, if you enter the game after League of Legends is really popular, you will already be too late!
Haven't you seen that those large domestic clubs have begun to set up relevant branches of League of Legends?
It doesn't matter if the game of League of Legends can be played or not.
The important thing is that I have to lay out in advance.
And the phone call Luo Bai received here was basically asking him about the establishment plan of some world events.
Luo Bai did not give a direct response here.
Not necessarily.
Blue Star is different from Earth, and the timing of League of Legends is also different, and it is completely unknown whether it can have the glory of its previous life.
Originally, when he first made this game, he wanted to play Genting and find some players to play with.
Just don't lose anything.
But...... Some people speak impulsively on the other end of the phone.
I don't know where the stinky temper was raised, and I look like I'm commanding.
Luo Bai also sprayed back without giving face at all:
"Ni is stinky, who are you threatening me? To run Nima's club, Lao Tzu really wants to be the first to block you in the league.
Just barking here, the male dog in estrus at the entrance of my village is not as noisy as you! ”
Luo Bai was about to be scolded on the other end of the phone, he never thought that these words could squirt out of Luo Bai's mouth.
The anger surged up and I just wanted to spray back, but what sounded in my ears was a cold beep, and the number was also blocked, so I could only be impotent and furious in the same place.
As for shooting at Luo Bai.
Don't make trouble, just the original intention is now the volume and influence, and if something goes wrong, it will be uprooted.
Pu Xingyu's side was also taken aback by Luo Bai's irritability as soon as he entered the door.
saw Luo Bai pull his tie, and said to himself with a sarcastic face:
"It's been a long time since I've been angry, yes, it's so stupid."
Although Talo has always been kind to people and is an elegant and easy-going person, his temper is really not very good.
Back then, whether it was when I wanted a salary or when I was facing hard steel with Tianxing, I especially liked to go to extremes.
"What's wrong with Brother Luo, making such a big fuss?"
Pu Xingyu shouted in a low voice.
Luo Bai exhaled, turned his head and looked at Pu Xingyu:
"It's okay, you're stupid, what are you looking for me?"
Pu Xingyu also had no idea of joking, and said a little awkwardly:
"Halfway through the game, I'm a little uncertain now, and I want Brother Luo to help me make some suggestions."
"Suggestions?"
Luo Bai lifted his left eyelid and smiled teasingly,
"Luo is worth a lot of money, and he can't do it with 18 billion each."
"! You might as well grab it! If you sell me, you won't be able to sell 80 billion yuan! ”
"Hahaha! Okay, I'll take a look at it for you. ”
