Chapter 213 [The new event brand WRPO [1600 month
"It's better to acquire WCG. The brands controlled by Koreans are not conducive to globalization."
Luo Sheng thought about it and said, but he still gave up on this idea.
It is worth affirming that the Koreans' e-sports system is very mature, but Koreans are vigorously promoting projects that are beneficial to them. The SPL league system of "Star 2" was finally killed by fake games, and it was the world champion who played fake games. This damage is like a bolt from the blue for the SPL event.
Fake games will be disastrous for any competitive event.
For Luo Sheng, of course, he is focusing on the global scope and aims to integrate the global e-sports industry. Now, in addition to the good industrialization of e-sports in South Korea, looking at the world is actually still in its infancy.
Let’s take a step back and talk about an e-sports project. If you die, you will die. There are countless e-sports projects to choose from, such as the "Dota" series, the "League of Legends" series, etc.
With the development of the e-sports industry, how can a small Korean market be compared with the world market in ten or twenty years?
In fact, the collapse of the Korean "Star 2" league system has actually increased the vitality and total market volume of the world "Star 2". Any e-sports event monopolized by a single club or a region will gradually become a niche and will no longer be welcomed by more people.
Football is undoubtedly the most successful in competitive events, even no one, because Hercules took turns to take home. The last session was the Brazilian team who brought the cup home, this session was the German team who brought the cup home, and the next session was Belgium.
In this way, fans from all over the world will have infinite enthusiasm, and the competitive atmosphere will also spread throughout the world, becoming the world's number one sports event, and it is not even a simple sports event. The World Cup, which is held every four years, has become a global carnival feast. The number of people participating in it is billions, exceeding more than half of the population on earth.
Luo Sheng has never been a dragging person. He did it as soon as he thought of it. He left the technical department and returned to the office and called Zhang Bowen.
"Mr. Luo, what are your instructions?"
"Well, the company is preparing to enter the e-sports industry. My goal is to build a world-class e-sports event brand and become a benchmark in the industry. Just like the Olympics, yes, it's like a project being selected for the Olympics." Luo Sheng said, thinking in his heart.
Currently, Bluestar Technology has a popular e-sports project, which is the Cs project, which is also an important mainstream competition project of WCG. Cs comes from Valve, a subsidiary of Bluestar Technology Group.
But the most mainstream e-sports projects now are undoubtedly "Warcraft" and "Starcraft" under Blizzard Entertainment. Luo Sheng, who had a forward-looking vision in his previous life, knew that WCG's collapse was largely because the game companies where these e-sports projects were in a prosperous tournament and became the most valuable event, and then ignored third-party events.
Such as "League of Legends" S event, "Dota2" Ti event, "Starcraft 2" WCS, etc.
Therefore, Luo Sheng is very clear now. At the beginning of setting standards, the brand of e-sports events he has to hold the popular e-sports events firmly in his own hands and not let them play their own. Otherwise, once they play their own, they can also play their own games. Then the standardized and systematic e-sports events he wants to create will definitely go bankrupt.
At this moment, Zhang Bowen was confused and stunned for a while and said quickly: "What? Entering the e-sports industry? Mr. Luo, this... Not to mention that the market for the e-sports industry is just a big deal. We are completely newbies, and we don't understand at all and don't have a talent in this area."
"Now it's a big sesame point, and it will be different after you can. And this is very important to the company's strategy. As for talent issues, you can go to the Korean ICM company that sponsors WCG to poach people. Koreans have made the click industry prosperous and accumulated rich experience. Then we can just dig half of the talents there and it won't cost much money. Yes, just do it, and then we can also send people to Korea to inspect and study." Luo Sheng did not explain too much to him.
The talents you cultivate are my talents. Yes, having money means you can do whatever you want.
If you can't even pay for money, it means that the money has not been given in place.
That's simple, just smash it.
Zhang Bowen could hear that Luo Sheng had basically decided to do it, but he said with great concern: "Mr. Luo, the company's entry into the e-sports industry may encounter countless criticisms. The e-sports industry and electronic games are too blurred. Maybe it will give you a stigma that poisons the younger generation. The loss of reputation may be..."
I am afraid that the voice of computer games in this era is a typical representative of a report from the previous year, "Computer Games: "Electronic Conch" aimed at children". This article is a bitter advice to parents to be careful of the harm of electronic games to their children.
Zhang Bowen's concerns are not without reason, because the current influence of Blue Star Technology Group and Luo Sheng's current social influence are very huge, and every move is the focus of the news.
It is no exaggeration to say that if the reputation losses are caused, the scale of the ten current e-sports industries is not as good as that.
"Electronic games and e-sports games are essentially different. You don't have to worry. I will personally hold a media conference to deal with this issue. If it is not possible in China, then it will be operated abroad. Can living people still be suffocated to death by urine? Or the same sentence, the cost of trial and error is the loss of funds, and the cost of making mistakes is the survival crisis. When the company's plate is bigger, even the courage to try and error will be lost?"
Luo Sheng said so. Although Zhang Bowen was reserved when he heard this, he stopped saying anything. He just implemented it, so he waited for Luo Sheng's arrangement.
At this moment, Luo Sheng held his chin with his hands and covered his mouth and thought silently for a while. After a moment, he said calmly: "The full name of the e-sports event that the company promotes is 'world ready pyer one', referred to as wrpo for abbreviation. It will create an exclusive wrpo championship trophy for each e-sports event selected for wrpo events. The individual or team that wins the championship will win the title of the e-sports event's annual 'number one' and will win the cup home."
Zhang Bowen made memorandums on Luo Sheng’s next general instructions one by one.
The wrpo event will be held once a year. At the same time, under Luo Sheng's arrangement, the spokesperson of the wrpo e-sports event brand will not be a real star, but Blue Star Technology's upcoming virtual idol "Hatsumi" to be launched to link up.
According to other regulations, players who win the championship and go home in the WRPO event can keep the trophy for one year, and return the trophy in the first half of the next session.
It indicates a new round of competition.
The wrpo trophy is not valuable, the valuable champion prize, and the trophy represents more a symbol of honor, just like the "Hercules Cup" in the Football World Cup.
In addition, the WRPO E-sports Hall of Fame is also established. The requirement for e-sports athletes to enter the Hall of Fame is to obtain the results of winning twice in his esports program before they can enter the WRPO E-sports Hall of Fame.
Obviously, this is very difficult.
In terms of competition rules, each top 16 team can enter the WRPO stage to compete for the championship.
The world is divided into five divisions: North America, Europe, Greater China, South Korea, and wild card divisions.
The five major sub-segments are the result of comprehensive arrangements through current environmental considerations.
Greater China has a large population, and wrpo was also born in China, so naturally it has a unique competition area.
Secondly, South Korea has a unique competition area. There is no way, the Korean e-sports system is currently at the forefront of the world.
Then there are North American and European competition areas. Although there are many countries and regions, the total population is similar to the overall e-sports level. Moreover, each competition area actually has its own unique skills, or it may be particularly good at a certain e-sports event.
For example, in the "Warcraft", there were world champions like Sky, and double champions in China; in the "Starcraft" project, no one can beat Koreans now; and in the FPS shooting e-sports event, generally European and Americans are stronger, but the domestic is also remarkable, with teams like wnv.
As for the establishment of wild card areas, it is to get the final ticket to perform well through those areas without quotas.
Greater China, America, Europe and South Korea, each of these four major competition areas has 3 places to enter the WRPO finals, that is, major e-sports events will obtain admission quotas through the top three points list.
The selection of the top 16 of the WRPO tournament mainly uses the standings rules.
Points are obtained from WRPO sub-district competitions and other third-party competitions, such as other competitions in Warcraft, such as spring seasons, regular season competitions, or third-party events such as WCG events, etc.
However, these events must be certified by the WRPO Organizing Committee and make points based on their value. You can get certain points from the championship to the quarterfinals, with the most championships and the least quarterfinals.
Such competition rules can allow players to play games, and encourage players to play games as big as possible and valuable as possible. They will play games everywhere in order to earn points, so that the audience can watch games, and at the same time, it is also to improve the vitality of these e-sports events and thus expand the development of the entire e-sports market.
After all, wrpo only takes a while for a year, and there will definitely be a game to play for the rest of the year.
Obviously, this can form a favorable positive cycle. Through other competitions, everyone finally got the ticket to WRPO in the top three in the standings. The contestants who competed were definitely the best players of the year, and then competed for the wrpo trophy and the honor of the "No. 1 player" of the year.
Obviously, once this is executed, wrpo will eventually become the event with the highest honor, the highest value, the highest competitive level and the highest popularity among all e-sports events.
It is the Olympics in the field of e-sports.
In Luo Sheng's previous life, in order to be recognized by the world's mainstream, practitioners in the field of e-sports hope to be qualified for the Olympics.
But now, when Luo Sheng comes, he won't do this anymore.
Olympic Games?
He doesn't want to birds at all. E-sports doesn't need to look at anyone's expression. He can also make a fortune by playing by himself, and even gets more comfortable than some traditional sports events.
Why do you still have to look at their faces?
Get the hot face and cold butt?
The four major competition areas took away 12 places in the top 16 of WRPO, and the remaining four places will be competed for by players from the wild card competition area.
Players registered in the other four major competition areas are not allowed to enter the wild card competition area to grab quotas unless they join other sub-districts as foreign players, but their qualifications in the original competition area will be automatically cancelled.
The competition is good, and sometimes the dark horse is also very important. Although it will also produce a picture of slaughtering chickens, there will basically be no picture of slaughtering chickens on the main stage of the event, which is the arrangement is clear.
After entering the top 16 of WRPO, these 16 teams or individuals will draw lots to four ABCD groups to play a line battle. There are only two qualifiers, one winner qualifiers and one loser qualifiers. The two victorious teams or individuals will enter the winner group. The loser will play another round of battle. After winning the opponent, you have to play another game before you can qualify.
The winner qualifies for the first time, and the winning team or individual directly qualifies for the quarterfinals knockout round. Those who lose in the winner battle must fight with the opponent who just decided the winner and lose between the losers for another round. Only by defeating the opponent can you get the second qualifying place to enter the quarterfinals knockout round.
After entering the quarterfinals of WRPO, the knockout round will be held. After completing the new group draw, the quarterfinals of Elimination will compete on the main stage. Those who can enter the quarterfinals of Elimination are basically champion players or teams. They will not be too weak, and maybe a dark horse will emerge.
Through knockouts, quarterfinals, semifinals, finals, finals, finals, the finals were completed and the final world champion was won, becoming the "No. 1 player" of the year in the e-sports event and bringing the wrpo trophy home.
Luo Sheng is committed to building the wrpo event into a world competition with the highest honor, highest value, highest competitive level and highest popularity among global e-sports events.
Once this e-sports event brand is established.
The highest honor of a professional player in his e-sports event is to win the wrpo trophy, the strongest in the world of the year, and the "number one player" of the year.
The reason why Luo Sheng is going to enter the e-sports field now is because of future technological progress. With the support of high-tech equipment, the popularity of virtual world e-sports is almost unbelievable, and the huge market is also unbelievable.
This pit must be taken early.
