Chapter 1020 Excellent Era E-sports Club (4/17)

If such a thing was placed in 2020 in the future, it would definitely cause an uproar. I am afraid that Daqian would be criticized by the whole world as a dog and racial discrimination. In the end, he might even get sanctions from the government. No matter how brave Boss Jia was at that time, he would not dare to do such a thing.

But it was different in 1996. There were only so many e-sports players, and the incident itself had very little influence, which could not cause any turmoil or gain a lot of media attention.

In fact, the two players who were forced to change their IDs ran to the media to accuse them as soon as they returned to China. The media did post two columns in the newspaper to report on the matter, but it did not cause any trouble.

After all, if there is no force behind the push, if you want to be on the hot search on Weibo overnight, you will almost be farting.

Several years later, with the increasing scale of the e-sports industry, when someone mentioned this history again, the response was much more enthusiastic than at that time, and many people were discussing the forced ID change.

But everything is meaningless, because now all the large-scale e-sports events are basically held by Daqian, and Daqian naturally requires all the contestants below to get a Chinese ID no matter which competition they participate in Daqian.

Not to mention that the highest stage of WCG, all require Chinese IDs. By the time some people reacted later, it was too late.

The entire e-sports circle has been in operation for more than 20 years. Everyone has become accustomed to seeing players all over the world using Chinese IDs, and even have a loud Chinese ID. It is impossible for you to change the ID back at that time.

This is the power of capital. Some things seem difficult, but as long as capital wants to do it, there is nothing that cannot be done.

However, this incident gave the US government an excuse to attack Daqian and caused a lot of trouble to Daqian. But that is the story of the future, let's talk about it later.

On the morning of the second day, Pei Le happily went to Boss Jia early in the morning, and asked Hou to sign a contract with Boss Jia. Pei Le was responsible for establishing an e-sports club. He and Li Xiaofeng each invested 50,000 US dollars, while Boss Jia personally invested 400,000 US dollars, with a total share capital of 500,000 US dollars.

However, as the actual operators of the club, Pei Le and Li Xiaofeng each own 20% of the club's shares, while Boss Jia owns 60% of the shares. At the same time, Boss Jia does not participate in the specific operations, and Pei Le is responsible for the entire club.

"By the way, what name does your club want?" After the contract was signed, Boss Jia asked with a smile.

"I plan to make this club the most elite e-sports players in the world gather together, and it is the most awesome club in the world, so I plan to be called the World Elite Club." Pei Le quickly said.

"This name is not very good!" Boss Jia shook his head. "There are few clubs in the world that start with the world. Although it looks grand, it is actually not down-to-earth. It is better to change one!"

"What's the change?" Pei Le asked hurriedly.

"The world's elite means the best in the world. The word Jia is not good, so it's better to change it to Jia. The world of the world can be retained, so it becomes the word Sega!"

"But the problem is that there is already a Sega game in the world. We can't take the same name as others, so I think you might as well turn the name backwards and change it to Jiashi. In the future, our club will be called Jiashi E-sports Club. What do you think?" Boss Jia asked with a smile.

"Jia Shi! Good name, no problem, I like this name very much!" Pei Le said immediately, "What a joke, can you still refuse Boss Jia gets his name?"

Even if you don't like it, you have to pretend to be extremely happy.

Besides, the name Jia Shi really sounds very good, and it is indeed much better than the world elite, a name that is also very twilight and unearthy in the eyes of Chinese people.

So in 1996, Jiashi E-Sports Club, the world's first e-sports club, was born, which is also a matter that has been recorded in history.

By the time Boss Jia and Pei Le talked about the club, the fourth day of WCG had already begun.

On this day, all the viewers watching the live broadcast were surprised to find that the English IDs on their respective contestants all turned into strange, block-like texts.

However, after experiencing the initial surprise, the audience said it didn't matter. No one would care what the Id of a virtual character was called, but the TV hosts who participated in the broadcast were so distressed.

CCTV gave them a comparison table of Chinese characters and English phonetic symbols composed of three A4 sheets. Before explaining the competition, they had to familiarize themselves with the pronunciation of the Chinese character IDs, and they also needed to know the meaning behind the Chinese character ID. They were the hardest-working people.

Fortunately, those who can become hosts are not fools, and their IQ is quite outstanding, so they are not very slow to learn. And some hosts also like this change very much, because after changing their ID, they need to explain the meaning behind the Chinese ID to the audience, so there is a lot of content that can be used to be watered, which is simply too happy for the host.

The host is never afraid of saying too much, just afraid of saying nothing, and not knowing what to say.

Back to the topic, on the morning of the 4th day, the qualifiers for the last two heroes and karts in the eight events finally began.

There is nothing to say about running karts, racing games, those who run fast can win.

The Hero Invincible is a little more troublesome, because it is a battle flag game, so their game is a battle flag battle.

All players can obtain a certain resource point before the game, and then allocate the components of their army based on the resource point. From the lowest level 1 troops to the highest level 9 troops, they can use resource points in exchange for it. In this way, depending on the different players, there will be various lineups.

Each player has three minutes to choose the army lineup. After the selection is completed, they will directly compete on the chessboard. Because it is a war chess game, there must be a first move and a first move, and the first move will definitely have the advantage.

Therefore, the latter side will have 100 more resource points than the first side, which is to make both sides as fair as possible.

After three hours of competition, the preliminaries of the two games ended, but unfortunately, none of the players who entered the quarterfinals of these two games were Chinese.

The last highlight of the 4th day was the final of the Sword Art Online.

Fortunately, among the quarterfinals of the Sword Art Online, there is a Chinese player and the only Chinese player. The ID of this player is called Xiao Chi.

The reason why his ID is called Xiao Chi is because he is really a child. He is only 7 years old this year and is a child born in 1989.

It is said that this child named Xiao Chi was first exposed to arcade games last year, namely Street Fighter, and then he was out of control. With his amazing talent, he successfully became the king of the entire demon capital area.

Later, when I heard about WCG, I decided to sign up. His parents were amazingly open and actually agreed to participate in the competition, but the condition was that my father would accompany him throughout the whole process.

However, WCG does not have the Street Fighter project, and the only fighting game is Sword Art Online, so the child can only turn to Sword Art Online.

Because there were only 4 months between the Sword Art Online announced its participation in WCG and the official opening of WCG, the child only played Sword Art Online for 4 months at most.

But even so, the child beat the qualifiers in Yaodu, defeating countless players over the age of teenagers, becoming the champion of Yaodu, and successfully qualified for WCG.
