Create a great era of e-sports

Chapter 200 Nationalization, Professionalization, Starization

Mo Yu has his own understanding of the competition system. What he wants to build is not the league system of LOL nor the cup system of DOTA, but a combination of the two.

The DOTA competition system in the previous life was similar to tennis, it implemented a tournament system, also called a cup system.

Corresponding to tennis, it is TI (annual finals)>Major (Grand Slam)>Minor (Masters)>third-party events (tours), among which TI is held by V agency, which is also the highest level event, with tens of millions of prize money , as long as you participate, you can get bonuses.

The remaining Majors, Minors, and third parties are all authorized by Valve and held together with major organizers.

Among these types of events, TI has the most attention and the most prize money, followed by the Major, followed by the Minor, and there are even fewer tournaments.

Under this system, the most prominent shortcoming is that dish B has no way out!

In other words, teams without achievements will never enjoy high bonuses, and only a few veteran teams standing at the top of the pyramid can eat meat.

At the same time, the cup competition system also leads to the fact that only the largest cup competitions are worth watching, because their competitive level is much higher than other competitions, and the participants are all major veteran teams with stronger levels and better skills.

However, this competition system also has an advantage, that is, even the Internet cafe team, as long as they can continue to win through the auditions, they can advance from the lowest level to the highest level, and even win the championship in one fell swoop!

The best example is Wings. From an unknown small team, they have been promoted all the way, beat countless masters, and won the TI championship with the most powerful dark horse attitude, shocking the world!
It's just that the experience of Wings will never appear in the LOL competition system.

Because LOL implements a league system and there is no relegation system, unless you have the money to buy a seat in the LPL, the miracle of Wings will never be replicated.

It's just that LOL's league system also has its benefits, especially in terms of commercial value.

In LOL, each division has its own league to form an ecological closed loop, and foreign teams cannot break in at all, and only by spending a lot of money can they buy a league seat.

And the bosses spend a lot of money, so they naturally have to recruit better players, coaches, analysts and other personnel to increase the team's combat power, get better results, and get more benefits.

Under such a huge gold and dollar offensive, new players will continue to emerge, which will lead to the team's competitive level getting stronger and stronger, and the skills will make the game more enjoyable. The more people who enjoy it, the more valuable the league will be. In the end, if the league is valuable, the boss will be more willing to invest money.

In the end, everything formed a huge business alliance event system, and all links can get the benefits they want from it.

And in order to protect the interests of the bosses, so that the boss spends a lot of money, but the club is relegated in the end; at the same time, it also prevents the major clubs from spending money to hire players with immediate combat power rather than training new players in order to avoid relegation. The hierarchy system has been abolished.

So, without relegation or relegation, how could a team like Wings be able to compete?

It is not qualified to participate in the S competition at all!
Both competition systems have their own advantages. The DOTA system can produce dark horses, and everyone has the opportunity to shine and shine in the world; the LOL system can make money, which is huge for players, clubs, owners, and organizers. benefit.

And Mo Yu's idea is to integrate the two systems, doing both cup games and league games.

The competition authorization plan is only the first step. With this, we will gradually establish a cup competition system and give everyone an extra chance to advance through the ABC three-level competition. In the future S match of "With God", you can see not only the teams played in the cup, but also the teams played in the league.

With cups and leagues, plus university leagues, major overseas major regions, and future star exhibition games, city leagues, Asian Games, Olympics and other competitions, e-sports events will eventually become an ultimate behemoth, not inferior to any other sporting event.

To achieve the integration of universalization, celebrityization, and professionalization, and create a nearly perfect competition system that can make money and have opportunities.

"South Korea has already started holding new competitions, and is trying its best to promote the emergence of professional teams. The country must also speed up the pace. There are still too few professional teams. I hope they can bring me a good result. Bar!"

"If it doesn't work, then we can only invite public bids to see if anyone else is willing to participate!"

"It's just that it's not a last resort, or you can't do that. After all, those people don't understand e-sports, there are too many variables!"

Mo Yu sighed, hoping that Zhang Zhaoyang and the others would bring him good news.

a few days later.

Mo Yu was working, but when he received news from the front desk that Zhang Zhaoyang had come to the company, he was instantly overjoyed.

He walked to the front desk quickly, and saw Zhang Zhaoyang sitting there with his legs crossed, talking and laughing with the girl at the front desk, which made the beauty at the front desk laugh and lean forward and back together.

Seeing this, Mo Yu yelled from a distance, and then walked over quickly.

"Zhaoyang!"

When the beauty at the front desk saw him coming, she stopped smiling instantly. She had a serious face, but her face was still flushed from when she laughed just now.A pair of eyes stared at Zhang Zhaoyang, gurgling around, not knowing what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhaoyang glared at Mo Yu first, then looked at the beauty at the front desk and gestured for a phone call: "Contact me when you are free!" He wrote a note and handed it over.

The front desk put it away in a hurry, gave a sweet "um", and then greeted Mo Yu.

Mo Yu waved his hand and didn't care, anyway, one was willing to fight and the other was willing to suffer. He was more concerned about the purpose of Zhang Zhaoyang's visit today.

"Why are you here? You didn't call me to inform me, so I can prepare in advance!"

Zhang Zhaoyang put out the cigarette butt, stood up and said, "Why are you calling? I'm here to surprise you. What's the surprise after calling!"

"Oh?" Mo Yu's heart moved when he heard the words, and he couldn't help expecting: "You brought me a surprise?"

Zhang Zhaoyang laughed, then put his hands behind his back and walked in front.

"lead the way!"

Seeing this, Mo Yu felt amused, so he also cooperated with him, walking to the front and extending his hand to signal.

"Please!"

Three minutes later, the two came to the office.

Mo Yu sat down and said, "Now we can always bring out the surprise, right?"

After hearing the words, Zhang Zhaoyang resumed his normal activities: "The surprise is that I have already thought about it and decided to host an A-level event!"

really!

After days of waiting, finally came the good news!

Even Zhang Zhaoyang directly chose to host the highest-level A-level event, which made Mo Yu very happy.

Mo Yu couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing: "It's really a surprise. I didn't expect you to want to host an A-level event. The A-level event will cost at least 1000 million. Have you really thought about it?"

"What's 1000 million?" Zhang Zhaoyang waved his hand and said disdainfully, "Gili Internet Café chain has dozens of stores. It's not a big deal to get 1000 million out. I haven't played a game recently. Not only me, Xiaobo and the others are bothered!"

Mo Yu said helplessly: "There is no way, there are too many things to do, and it was delayed for a while. Since you have made up your mind, I will send someone to send the contract later. After signing, you will have the formal authorization to host the event."

"However, an A-level event is no small matter. It has many related requirements. You should also know that the prize money of the event must be at least 100 million, and the scale must be large enough. So how to spend the 1000 million and how to do the competition? Do you have any ideas? "

Zhang Zhaoyang heard the words: "Isn't it just to hold a competition? Follow the Jingzhou Cup."

Mo Yu smiled and said, "The Jingzhou Cup does not count Jay Chou's appearance fee, and it cost more than 2000 million to go back and forth. Your 1000 million may not be enough!"

"So many?" Zhang Zhaoyang asked in surprise.

"The venue, manpower, bonuses, opening ceremony, equipment, basic necessities, food, housing and transportation, not counting the ticket money I lost, the skin money given out in the lottery, all of these are 2000 million, you think!"

The scale of the Jingzhou Cup is comparable to the S competition.

Just renting the central stadium cost him 100 million yuan per day, and other stage layouts and audio equipment cost a lot of money, not to mention other various expenses. A little calculation is far from enough for 1000 million yuan.

Mo Yu casually explained some expenses, and Zhang Zhaoyang knew that there were quite a lot of them.

"I didn't expect to spend so much money. I thought 1000 million would definitely be enough." Zhang Zhaoyang frowned and said, "I just made a simple plan according to the Jingzhou Cup. I roughly calculated that it would be enough. I didn't think too much about it." More, but now it seems that it is really not enough.”

Seeing this, Mo Yu comforted: "The scale of the Jingzhou Cup is too big. A-level competitions don't need to be so big. Many things can be saved. It depends on how you choose, such as the venue, such as the performance team, such as the stage, and the basic necessities of the players. Wait, if you reduce all aspects and save a little, 1000 million is enough."

"That's what I said, but I originally planned to go to Boda, but now I want to lower it." Zhang Zhaoyang said dejectedly: "It's uncomfortable!"

Mo Yusheng was afraid that he would go back on his word, so he said, "Well, let me give you a few suggestions. The Jingzhou Cup is no match, but it won't be too far behind. How about it?"

"That's good!" Zhang Zhaoyang said happily after hearing the words: "I forgot, you are the professional when it comes to organizing competitions!"

Mo Yu waved his hand and said, "It's not professional, it's just that I have some experience in doing more."

"First of all, I won't say much about the bonus, at least 100 million. It is mainly the venue, publicity, personnel, equipment and other expenses."

"A-level competitions require 16 teams to participate, and random draws are used to determine opponents. That is to say, there are at least five stages: preliminaries, groups, quarter-finals, semi-finals, and finals. Five venues are required."

"You have dozens of strong companies. It is enough to select a few of them as the qualifying venues to accept registered teams from all over the country for competitions. Then there is the main store, which has a large area and can accommodate 2000 people. This can be used as a group match. In this way, we can save the venue money for two rounds.”

"As for the rest, it shouldn't be difficult for your family to find someone who works in real estate, and the final finals will be held in the old stadium!"
