Create a great era of e-sports

Having seen the life of a real professional e-sports player, Shang Xingyue couldn't help but admire him.

"The life of a professional player is really not as easy as ordinary people think. In addition to talent, it also requires day-to-day training. This job is to some extent a hundred times more difficult than most people think. Many people think that players are Playing games all day, but it’s not that simple. When a hobby turns into a profession, the hobby becomes a painful enjoyment.”

Shang Xingyue was deeply moved.

A professional player wakes up every day and sits in front of the computer to play games. He can play for a day, he can play for a month, but what about a year?

It's not as simple as you think!

Many people will get tired of playing two all-nighters. Professional players almost have to practice for more than ten hours every day, and even have to play live broadcasts for a break, which is really boring.

No wonder Shang Xingyue was so impressed after today's interview.

She actually had similar thoughts before, wasn't it just about playing games? What's so difficult about that!

But when we really get in touch with it, we realize how hard and cruel it is.

The two chatted for a while, and Mo Yu asked: "Do you think it will be okay to show the ratings by then?"

"It's hard to say." Shang Xingyue sat up: "But my personal hunch should be good. E-sports itself is a highly topical point, and it is broadcast on CCTV. Together, it may become a big hit. However, the specific performance still depends on the effect after it is broadcast."

"Big bang?"

Mo Yu agreed with her point of view.

E-sports, Emperor Star, GAG, and CCTV, these few points together are enough to attract gimmicks. As long as the publicity and warm-up are done well, the ratings should not be bad.

If you think about it, you will know that if a LOL player saw a program introducing EDG on CCTV, and people like Qi Jiang and Ed Zhu were interviewed in it, wouldn't they stop and watch it?

GAG has at least 10 million players in China. As long as it is well publicized, most people will watch the program on time. Even if it is not good to watch, they can watch the beginning and then tune the channel.

"I will help you think of a way to warm up the promotion. I will have someone send an announcement on the client before it is broadcast. I believe the ratings will not be bad."

"Alright."

The two sat on the sofa and chatted for a long time. As they chatted, they talked about the next arrangements.

"After this interview with Emperor Star, where are you going to record the next issue?" Mo Yu asked.

Shang Xingyue thought for a while: "It happens to be the cup season recently, and the program will be broadcast next month. I want to gain popularity. I plan to go to Star City to interview the IMTV Cup in the next episode."

"Star City? Just in time, Ding Tan invited me over, let's come together."

Mo Yu said.

Among the three major cups this year, the earliest one is the IMTV Cup. It starts during the National Day. The entire schedule lasts seven days. The competition venue is arranged at the exhibition center in downtown Xingcheng City. Ding Tan has already done enough publicity and warm-up for this competition. Not only will the entire event be broadcast live on Moyu Live, but the entire event will also be broadcast live on the IMTV channel.

After the IMTV Cup, the next step is the Emperor Star Cup in mid-October and the Petroleum Cup in November.

"That's okay." Shang Xingyue agreed: "I'll take a look at the game then!"

"it is good!"

The two made an appointment and set off for Star City two days later.

In addition to the program staff, there were also contestants and team leaders from the three clubs of Emperor Star, LGD, and WE.

Among them, Emperor Star and LGD are the top two players in the GPL division and automatically qualified to participate in the A-level competition. However, since LGD is also the MSI champion, they were postponed to the next place and WE was selected.

On the South Korean side, there are Samsung Twins, Samsung White and Samsung Blue, which were just established in the second half of the year. These two teams have obtained the top two GCK points, and SKT has also qualified to participate in the A-level competition by virtue of MSI qualifications.

The remaining European divisions are the new champion team G2 and the AL team, as well as the FNC team that finished third in MSI.

In North America, it’s TSM and C9.

The unstoppable Lightning Wolf and Assassin Star in Southeast Asia. The remaining three teams are the three teams that have been promoted through the cup system. One of them is a real independent team that came out of the cup. However, after obtaining the qualifications, it was spotted by a domestic professional club and formed. He joined the NB team and all members signed the contract.

The second team is OMG. Since they had a premonition that they might not be able to reach the league quota, the team just took time to play in the B-level competition during the busy league period. In the end, they won the promotion to the three major A-level competitions after a series of fierce battles. Qualifications.

The last team was the royal family, which directly paid for the qualifications of an independent team. I heard that they spent hundreds of thousands, which was considered a loophole in the rules.

When Mo Yu learned about this, he had no choice but to do it regardless of the law. He could only say that there were still loopholes in the rules.

However, he has already planned to reform. There are too many loopholes in the existing competition rules.

The promotion rules of the three major A-level cups alone will result in there being no new faces in the three major cups, and there will be too few opportunities for individual teams.

Moyu currently plans to add another qualifier before the A-level competition. In addition to the top three teams in the league and the three teams promoted from the cup system, which is a total of eight teams, the remaining eight places must go through global qualifiers. Come and fight.

As for the registration qualifications for the qualifiers, he still has to study it.

Boom~

The plane landed smoothly, and Ding Tan had already sent a car to wait outside.

IMTV itself is based in Star City and has borrowed a lot of resources from Mango Channel. Ding Tan's family also has a certain amount of energy here, so this cup competition is arranged in this city.

Mo Yu has also been fascinated by Star City for a long time.

Not to mention anything else, just having a relationship with the Emperor of Heaven is a big deal.

In addition to watching the game this time, he also plans to take Shang Xingyue to the former residence of the Emperor of Heaven to admire the Emperor's style and feel the passionate years of the past.

After landing, the group was immediately driven to the hotel by the staff to rest. Mo Yu took Shang Xingyue directly to the Star City International Convention and Exhibition Center. Ding Tan rented the place generously and was decorating it on site.

When we arrived at the center, the scene was very busy, with staff coming and going, and the entire convention and exhibition center was in a mess.

Ding Tan stood at the entrance of the center to greet them.

"Mr. Ding! Long time no see!"

"Mr. Mo, Miss Shang!"

The two parties met successfully.

"How's it going?" Ding Tan pointed around and said with a smile: "Is the scale okay? Is there anything that needs to be changed?"

Mo Yu looked around.

From what you can see, the blowers on both sides are blowing wildly, and a balloon arch stands in the open square in front of the center. This is also a commonly used prop for holding events now. It is an old prop for almost every event.

In front of the arch is a roll-up poster stand, sixteen in total, with makeup photos of players from sixteen competing teams hung on them, arranged one by one, as if they were getting married.

Elsewhere, there are balloons, posters, and hand models everywhere, and there are more than a dozen three- to four-meter-high flagpoles erected around the square, just like street lights on the roadside, with some promotional slogans and IMTV advertisements written on them.

Directly in front, behind the positions of several people, there were figures of Galen and Noshou standing on the left and right.

These two figures are different from other figures. They are much taller, at least 2 meters tall. They use the latest God King skin, and they are obviously customized at a high price.

The two god-kings stand on both sides of an oversized poster, and in front of the poster is a red carpet spread directly into the center.

The poster reads - "Gods and Gods" TMTV Cup International Masters Competition!

"handsome!"

Mo Yu gave a thumbs up. (End of chapter)
