Create a great era of e-sports

Chapter 384 Provincial Games

"As much as 5 or 6 points?"

Lou Xing was so surprised that he even forgot to get the water when it boiled.

"I have also seen the S1 World Championship. It can be said that the streets are empty and there are huge crowds of people. How can the two games you mentioned reach such a level?"

"Absolutely." Mo Yu replied.

He also makes judgments based on the circumstances of his previous life.

Needless to say, MSI can be called the mini-S tournament every year, and fans love it very much.

And the performance in the global peak competition will not be too bad.

Although the RTS games in the previous life were not well-known in the era when e-sports was most developed, in the early days it was the most eye-catching project in e-sports and attracted the attention of global e-sports enthusiasts.

Relying on its extremely competitive gameplay, Blizzard's two games have endured for a long time, and StarCraft still has professional competitions many years later.

At the WCG that year, Warcraft was also a project that stood at the pinnacle.

When the King of People SKY won the world championship, he was even in the news.

In that ignorant early era, Warcraft could have that kind of popularity, let alone in today's world.

In this world, RTS has just been born, and "Racial Hegemony" has won the grand prize at E3. It is not only well-received in the game industry, but also loved by millions of players outside. There are many players around the world. In addition, the map editor will be launched next year. device, the total number of players in the game will definitely reach a new high by then.

The popularity of the two combined is definitely not comparable to that of S1 in its heyday, but if it can be rated 5 or 6 points, there is still hope.

"But everything still depends on the specific situation. Judging from the current inference, it should be quite different."

Mo Yu didn't speak too fully.

Lou Xing's expression turned away regretfully.

"Your words are enough. Getting 5 or 6 points can make up for the regret of losing the World Championship."

"But it's still a pity. If all the events were held in Jingzhou, then Jingzhou would definitely be famous among e-sports fans around the world and become a veritable e-sports capital and e-sports holy land."

Lou Xing was very happy.

It happened that the water was boiling at this time, so he simply blocked Mo Yu's hand to help, picked up the teapot and started making tea, and then poured the first cup to him, which scared Mo Yu and made him feel a little flattered.

"You're welcome, Mayor Lou."

"It's nothing, just take it as a token of gratitude from me as a parent in Jingzhou. I'll give you a toast with tea instead of wine!"

Lou Xing stretched out his hand to signal, and Mo Yu had no choice but to do as he was told.

He really felt strange at this time.

I have been a man for two lifetimes and have never been offered tea by an official. Still at the level of mayor, the feeling is indescribable.

After drinking tea, the two continued to talk.

Lou Xingdao: "E-sports is now considered a big star industry in Jingzhou. Have you ever thought about developing it to a more formal stage?"

"What do you mean?"

Mo Yu didn't quite understand it for a while.

Lou Xingdao: "Throughout the emergence of e-sports to this day, although the events are large in scale and have attracted much attention, there is one thing. All competitions are privately organized, whether it is the project "Gods and Gods" or the "Gods and Gods" you mentioned. "Racial Hegemony", either Moyu Company or other outsiders are behind it, but there is actually no official recognition behind it."

"This is probably a big problem for the development and rise of e-sports." "E-sports has its inherent game attributes. The overall public opinion in society is not optimistic, and some people are even full of discrimination. Although it has developed so far, the situation has improved. A lot, but the deep-rooted thoughts of most people may be difficult to change.”

"If this kind of discrimination cannot be solved, it will take a long time for e-sports to really rise. Have you ever thought about how to solve it?"

When Mo Yu heard this, a strange color flashed in his eyes.

He also wanted to get official recognition, but Shang Xingyue also said that he had to wait for news and could not be sure for the time being.

Yan Kaixian also knew about this, and Lou Xing must have known it too. He didn't know what he wanted to do now when he asked.

Mo Yu thought for a while and asked tentatively: "I wonder if the Ministry of Sports will select some folk sports as official sports this year. Are you clear about it?"

"nature."

As expected, Lou Xing knew clearly: "There was news from above, and Lao Yan also mentioned to me that e-sports seems to be one of the inspection items."

Yan Kaixian didn't know Shang Xingyue's identity. Judging from what the real estate agent meant, he didn't seem to know the relationship between Shang Xingyue and Shang Cunyuan. In this case, Mo Yu would not take the initiative to mention it to avoid getting into trouble. He just said: "Since you know, there is no need for me to say more. If I want to get official recognition, I can only think of this method for the time being."

"That's right." Lou Xing nodded: "It's just that this matter can't be done overnight. I would like to help, but the local level can't affect the high-level decision-making. There is no other way except to wait for notification. "

"This kind of thing can only be left to fate, but now there is another opportunity. I don't know if you are interested."

Mo Yu was startled when he heard this, and then asked quickly: "What opportunity?"

"Provincial Games!"

Lou Xing said slowly.

Of course Mo Yu knows what the Provincial Games is about.

Handong Province holds sports games in the province every year, and all cities in the province will participate. However, most of the athletes selected are athletes trained within the sports bureaus of each city, and e-sports is not included in this.

E-sports in the previous life had never been involved in this kind of sports meeting, and Mo Yu had never thought about it.

But I don’t know what Lou Xing’s sudden mention means?
"Please explain clearly!"

"Then I'll tell you the truth, but if this matter comes out of my mouth and reaches your ears, I won't allow any leakage." Lou Xing looked serious.

Mo Yu quickly put away his smile and responded solemnly.

"Don't worry, nothing will be said about what happened in this study today."

Seeing this, Lou Xing nodded with satisfaction and slowly explained the situation.

"I have a teacher who works in the province. He happens to be in charge of this year's Provincial Games. Tonight, I will take you to see him. Then you may have a chance to convince him to let e-sports enter this year's Games. Provincial Games!”

This sentence made Mo Yu's heart beat fiercely, and his mind kept thinking.

Municipal Games, Provincial Games, National Games, Universiade
Regardless of past and present life, e-sports has never appeared in these sports events.

E-sports has officially entered these long-standing sports events, the most impressive of which is the Asian Games.

The reason for this is not to say that e-sports does not want to enter, but the influence of these sports games itself is not too great. After leaving the province, I am afraid not many people will pay attention to it. In addition, it is not that easy to enter e-sports. Many taboos.

But if there is such an opportunity now, it may be an important step in reversing the stereotype of e-sports in people's minds, and it will be of great help to public opinion.

Thinking of this, Mo Yu's heart skipped a beat!
