The final was arranged in the evening, so as to give the two finalists some rest time.
At the same time, various advertisements can also be placed several times during this time.
At this time, no matter how unhappy the audience in front of the TV is, they can only watch these advertisements. After all, they do not want to miss this e-sports competition that looks really interesting.
Although the commercial breaks during e-sports games are not as good as those in the Super Bowl in the United States.
But now this first e-sports advertising fee-to-income ratio is the highest.
The companies they originally invested in only paid a small amount of advertising fees and received a huge amount of attention. They were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.
But, I’m afraid the advertising expenses for next year’s competition won’t be this amount.
This first session has already reflected the value of e-sports, and the next session will only be more mature based on the first session.
In the future, Zhuyouxing still has many plans.
In the previous life, e-sports has always been on the fringes after more than ten years of development, without forming a truly world-class influence.
Zhu Youxing hopes that this time can be shortened, and a topic with enough gimmicks is the best way to promote it.
Now this finals is a good opportunity.
Zhu Youxing directly woke up Bob, who founded Facebook on the other side of the ocean, from his sleep.
Faced with one of the major shareholders who initially invested, he was willing to grant long-term voting rights to Bob, retaining only the permanent original shares, and from time to time he could also come up with some ideas and creativity that were far ahead of this era. He was forcibly woken from the bed.
Woke Bob really has no temper.
He felt that there was probably only one person in the world like Zhu Youxing who could do this to him.
Zhuyouxing's request is very simple, let Facebook push as much StarCraft content as possible during this period of time.
Nowadays, Facebook users are accustomed to hanging out in the social square, which has the same magic as the short videos that can be viewed all day long.
And Bob only needs to slightly tilt the weight of StarCraft in such a social square, and StarCraft itself can bring a very terrifying number of clicks.
Of course, this kind of thing cannot be used often. It is like a super move in the game. It is best to use it only when it is most critical. If you use this super move every day, it will look very cheap.
In such a long time, Zhu Youxing only asked Bob to do such a thing once.
Even when Final Fantasy 7 was released, he never asked for it.
Because he hopes to spread StarCraft around the world at a faster rate.
In the early morning of that day, there were more and more discussions about StarCraft on social networks.
Originally, the games in South Korea were held late at night in the United States, and the only people watching were gamers.
But when morning came, it happened to be the final decisive battle between South Korea and the United States.
At seven o'clock in the morning on the weekend, in an ordinary American family, the child originally wanted to sleep in.
But then my mother's voice rang.
"Hamlin, get up quickly, your friend called you."
Hamlin complained a little and struggled to get up from the bed to answer the phone.
Why would any friend call me so early in the morning? Don't they rest?
However, the call only lasted about three minutes, and Hamlin rushed to the living room like a 100-meter sprint, which shocked the parents who got up early.
Valley
Hamlin, on the other hand, turned on the TV with bright eyes and continued talking to his friends with the cordless phone in his hand.
"Is that Channel 6? OK!"
He quickly took the remote control and played the TV program to Channel 6.
At this moment, the pre-match interviews of the two players and the exciting performances of the previous two players were being played on the TV in a loop.
Soon after, a commentator excitedly exaggerated the game, calling it a duel of national honor.
Hamlin's father glanced at the program on TV in confusion, and then asked: "What is this?"
"My friend said this is an e-sports show, a show about game battles."
Hamlin said without looking back.
He himself is a devoted video game player.
And he is also very obsessed with strategy games.
When StarCraft was released, he immediately managed to buy a box of StarCraft games, and then played with several classmates from school almost day and night.
They are all deeply immersed in this sci-fi and confusing world of war.
For the first time, he had the feeling of commanding soldiers and truly becoming a commander.
In the past, he could only play wargames with his classmates.
Before they had played a strategy game like StarCraft, they thought wargames were the most fun thing.
Even for Final Fantasy 7, the most popular video game at the time, he just thought it was fun, and after playing it once, he threw it aside to eat dust.
But now, his views have changed with the release of StarCraft.
Now he feels that StarCraft is the best thing.
Then, when his friend excitedly told him on the phone that the world-class competition of StarCraft was about to begin, he couldn't remember it since he went to bed at around 5 a.m. yesterday after playing StarCraft.
Being young and full of energy, I only slept for two hours, but as long as I knew the program I wanted to watch was about to be played, I would get up excitedly and watch it without hesitation.
And his father also became curious.
He is not interested in video games. At nearly forty, he has already passed the age where he quickly became interested in games. At least games like Super Mario will hardly attract him anymore.
But when watching the game screen showing a duel between a group of soldiers on the TV, he also had a rare interest.
It can be said that his son Hamlin's obsession with wargames is also due to his father's contribution.
His father was an avid wargame enthusiast when he was young.
Even at this age, he will occasionally call a few old friends to play sandbox war games.
The father couldn't help but sit on the sofa at this time, and then asked casually: "Son, is this also a video game? I remember that the games you played before were not like this."
"Dad, this is because you are ignorant. I have been playing StarCraft for several months and you don't care at all. Let me tell you, this thing is really great. How about we play a game if we have a chance?
?”
"Well... you can give it a try."
Anyway, I've been bored lately, so if I can have a common topic with my children, I might as well give it a try.
Moreover, he was indeed attracted by the battle scene on this battlefield.
