Next, Need for Speed and Street Basketball also competed for the championship.
They are all players from different clubs, some from the United States and some from Japan.
South Korea really doesn't have any advantages in these three projects because it started too late. Japan and the United States have already played these games very well. Some Korean players feel like they are facing gods.
Fabi.
However, StarCraft is different.
This game was started by players from several countries at almost the same time, so the competition is who has a better understanding of this game and can use stronger methods.
Li Mingzhe has now successfully become a player in a Korean e-sports club.
Becoming a club player means that he will have a stable financial income in the future.
In addition to monetary income, there are bonuses after winning, additional club rewards for champions, and advertising endorsement fees.
This is something that Li Mingzhe, an ordinary young man in the past, could not imagine.
E-sports has given many people who used to be ordinary people an opportunity to leap over the dragon's gate.
Other competitive fields already have mature systems. If ordinary people are not extremely talented, it is almost difficult to enter that competitive circle.
But e-sports is young, and everyone’s starting point is the same. There is even a StarCraft player in Japan who is nearly 40 years old, because he won the championship in Hokkaido.
At this time, age is not an absolute constraint. Even if you are nearly forty, you can still defeat young people.
"Mr. Zhuyou, your e-sports idea is really great."
In a large independent box in the gymnasium, many representatives of Korean and Japanese conglomerates gathered here.
At this time, they were surrounded by a very young man, Zhu Youxing.
Now as this competition progresses, its commercial potential has been demonstrated to a certain extent.
This is only the first one, and preparations for the next e-sports events have already begun.
Several chaebols and consortium members have discussed the next division of interests.
This brand-new competitive industry is a completely untapped market. Whoever enters the market first will get the first pot of gold. It is a real eye-catching prospect. No one can refuse this temptation.
And all the credit for this belongs to Zhu Youxing.
It was he who first proposed the competitive model of electronic games, and also roped in several Japanese local chaebols to do this, which ultimately led to the development of electronic sports.
These people are now trying their best to compliment Zhu Youxing.
As long as Zhu Youxing feels comfortable with compliments and he decentralizes some e-sports authority, they will be able to gain more benefits.
Some chaebol families even took the initiative to send girls from their own families over after learning that Takeyusei was not married yet.
However, Zhu Youxing has no cold feelings about this. He has his own pursuits and ideas. Women will only delay the speed of drawing his sword...
Well, that's a long way off.
Facing the compliments from these people, Zhu Youxing did not react at all. He just said: "The game is about to begin. Let's watch it quietly and see how the final eight will turn out."
Since this event is the first one, there will still be some areas where the planning is not perfect.
The first and most imperfect thing is the density of this event.
Generally speaking, after this kind of quarter-finals, it takes at least three or four days to compete for the final championship.
But this first event was not so particular, and the players were eager to quickly move on to the next one after completing one, so the event that would take three or four days to complete was compressed into one day.
This morning is the quarterfinals of StarCraft.
Four viewing points start at the same time.
People who watch the live broadcast only need to follow the instructions to different branch TV stations or secondary web links to watch the show they want to watch.
Gulu
In the quarterfinals, there are three Korean players, two Japanese players and three American players.
Judging from people's most intuitive strength comparison, Japan is obviously weaker. It seems that StarCraft is not Japan's strength.
Sure enough, after the quarterfinals, all Japanese players were eliminated, leaving two Korean players and two American players.
This became a war between South Korea and the United States.
Among these four people is Li Mingzhe.
At this moment, his palms were sweating slightly.
Just now, he personally eliminated a strong player from the United States.
During the competition, he actually almost felt that he was about to lose.
But he didn't expect that his opponent's small mistake would be caught by him keenly, and he quickly used the Zerg's Hydralisk and Zerg combination to raid the opponent's base camp, directly cutting off the opponent's economic line, and then relied on his side's rapid explosion of troops.
Let the situation tilt to his side in an instant, and finally win the game.
To be honest, he has never felt this exciting before.
Adrenaline is soaring throughout my body now.
The veins on my forehead are slightly raised.
It was really exciting.
As exciting as Li Mingzhe are the players.
Among the four games, Lee Ming-cheol is the one that attracts the most attention from South Korea, because it is the only battle between the United States and South Korea among the four games just now.
When Li Mingzhe was at a disadvantage, the entire audience in the stands exclaimed and covered their eyes.
But in the end, he still won the victory without any danger.
Lee Ming-cheol was also the first name to be cheered by many Korean players and audiences.
At that time, Li Mingzhe took off his headphones and the moment he heard his name, he felt as if his whole person had been sublimated.
This feeling is really great.
He finally understood the charm of video games and also realized the charm of e-sports.
This stuff is really fascinating.
Then, at the end of the quarterfinals, he and another Korean player were promoted, and they faced two other American players.
The war between South Korea and the United States.
This gimmick is really great.
The ratings of TV stations in South Korea suddenly began to soar rapidly.
Originally, this TV station was only a relatively backward TV station in South Korea. It was a TV station established by several consortiums to compete for the right to speak. It could never compare with the orthodox Korean official TV station.
But this time e-sports has become an opportunity for them.
This is the first time their TV station has briefly surpassed South Korea's official TV station in ratings.
The new TV station founded by the chaebols became a gathering place for young people in a very short period of time.
Hey, have you heard? There is a competitive event going on between South Korea and the United States!
What? Where did you hear about it? What kind of competitive event is it? Why haven’t I heard of it?
Is this because you are ignorant? It is a competitive event called e-sports, which involves playing games to compare wins and losses.
What? It turns out to be playing games, what’s the comparison? Boring.
However, this is a war between South Korea and the United States. Don’t you want to see who wins?
Well, this is quite interesting. Tell me which TV station, I will watch it now.
