Chapter 277 The blue bird shines all over the world!
Afternoon, Sprout Building Media Center.
Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment announced that it was a global press conference, which was not just a gimmick. In addition to inviting domestic media reporters, it also invited many foreign media reporters to witness this highlight moment.
The purpose is to maximize the global popularity of "Dota 2".
In order to be more fully prepared, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment did not hold a press conference immediately after signing the contract with V Agency, but postponed it for a full week.
One of the important reasons is that we are waiting for a reply from the Ice Frog team.
The results are also ideal.
After Ice Frog returned to Beautiful Country to discuss with his team members, he finally decided to join Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and continue to lead the subsequent development of "Dota 2".
It can be seen that I still can't let go, and I really love Dota 2.
Of course.
Icefrog will also be named Dota Studio Director.
Attending the press conference were Cao Yanhua, president of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, Ice Frog, the main creator of Dota 2, the public relations manager of Sprout Group, and a senior executive from Valve.
Cao Yanhua announced the news that Bluebird Interactive Entertainment acquired Dota 2 from Valve.
"Mr. Cao, what I heard was acquisition, not agency? Can you confirm?"
Reporters present were shocked.
Before the press conference, reporters were speculating that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment might have won the domestic agency rights for one or several of Valve’s games.
Unexpectedly.
As soon as I came up, I was blown away by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment.
"It is an acquisition. Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment owns all the intellectual property rights and global operating rights of Dota 2."
"Then, is it convenient to reveal the purchase price?"
"$250 million!"
"Wow!!!!"
There was another commotion at the scene, shocked by the generosity of Jade Bird Entertainment.
Who said that sprouting has no money?
If you don’t have money, can you just spend a huge amount of 1.6 billion to buy a game?
Not too Versailles!
"I would like to ask Mr. Cao, after Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment takes over Dota 2, will the previously planned Dota 2 International Invitational Tournament continue, and will the date be changed?" the reporter continued to ask.
[PS: The original time and space TI1 was held in August, so this is a blank page]
"Of course, TI events will continue. Jade Bird Sports, a subsidiary of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, will be responsible for the operation of TI events. However, the date of TI1 will be postponed to December, and the venue will be changed to Binhai City."
Since we want to fully take over Dota 2, we must of course favor China in terms of event operations.
Although it will follow the example of the original "League of Legends" in the future, the host city of the event will be changed every year as much as possible in order to spread the influence of Dota 2 to every corner of the world.
But no matter what, Binhai City will be the first home venue for TI events.
"What about the schedule of the TI1 event? Will it also be changed?"
"Because time is a little tight, TI1 will not have auditions and budget matches, and will directly invite 16 Dota teams from around the world to participate in the main competition. It should be noted that the total prize money of TI1 is as high as 10 million, and the champion team
We will exclusively enjoy 6 million of them, and Dota teams from around the world are welcome to sign up to participate."
Although Dota 2 is still in closed beta, because it is of the same origin as Dota 1, the invitees to the TI1 International Invitational Tournament are basically the traditional teams of Dota 1.
"oh!!!"
The reporters present exclaimed again, wondering if Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment was crazy.
You know, in the first League of Legends Global Finals that has ended this year, the total prize money of the tournament is only a mere 100,000 US dollars, which is incomparable with the 10 million bonus of TI1.
In order to promote TI events, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment also went all out.
"Here, I would like to announce another news. The entire TI1 game will be broadcast live on Panda Live, which will provide an audio-visual feast for Dota players around the world."
Cao Yanhua continued to drop bombshells.
Whether Pangda Live can rise up and become the leader in the domestic game live broadcasting industry remains to be seen.
"I would like to ask, hasn't Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment always insisted on making original creations? Why did you think of acquiring Dota 2 this time? Is it an admission that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment's innovation capabilities in the field of PC games are insufficient?" The question was asked by a Wai Guoren.
The smell is too strong!
The originality level of China's PC games is insufficient, so they can only be acquired overseas.
"The opposite is true."
Cao Yanhua is not a rookie. His expression is gentle, but his language is extremely sharp. "There are already several PC game masterpieces in the development process of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment. As for why we acquired Dota 2, firstly, Dota 2 is indeed a very good game."
Excellent work. More importantly, as you know, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has only been established for more than a year. We were busy developing mobile games before, but we just didn’t have enough time."
It's very Versailles.
Alas, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has only been established for one year and is already the number one mobile game company in the world.
Are you angry or not?
"Can you tell us about the development plans for these client games?" Wai Guoren has a thick skin.
"Sorry, this is a business secret."
"That is to say, you can't actually prove to us the original strength of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment in the field of client games?" Wai Guoren is excited again.
"I don't need to prove it to you."
Cao Yanhua is not used to it. "One of the important prerequisites for us to reach cooperation with V this time is that in the future, Bluebird's client games will be given priority for sale on Steam."
"Indeed it is."
Valve executives also stood up in time to prove this point.
“嘤嘤!!!”
Wai Guoren was completely at a loss for words and was defeated in embarrassment.
"I would like to ask Mr. Cao, after Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment acquires Dota 2, will the subsequent development and operations still be handed over to the original team? Just like Tenda acquired Riot Games." Another Waiguoren jumped out to find trouble.
Obviously, they are very dissatisfied with Chinese game manufacturers using their cash capabilities to acquire high-quality overseas games.
Just call Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment a thief.
"About this question, I think Bingwa is more suitable to answer." Cao Yanhua was very smart, and no one was a one-man show, so he handed the microphone to Bingwa.
"According to the supplementary agreement reached between Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and V, in order to maintain a smooth transition of Dota 2 development tasks, Dota 2 will still be developed by the original team in the next three months. Three months later, Dota 2 under Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment will
The studio will fully take over the development of Dota 2." Ice Frog did not take advantage of the topic.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "In three months, will you leave with your team?" Wai Guoren is looking forward to it.
Who doesn’t know that Ice Frog has always been the soul of Dota 2. If the Ice Frog team also leaves, Dota 2’s appeal among Dota players will be greatly reduced.
"Not really."
Bingwa shook his head, "My team and I have decided to join Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment."
"So, in fact, Dota 2 will be developed by your team and has nothing to do with Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment, right?" Wai Guoren was still unwilling to give in.
Changing the connotation of the law and entertaining each other.
"I will indeed serve as the director of Dota Studio, but for the development of Dota 2, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment has a very clear internal modification plan, and my team and I must follow it."
When he said this, Ice Frog was more or less filled with resentment.
"In other words, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment will arbitrarily interfere in the development of Dota 2?" Waiguoren asked.
I really don’t have any shame at all.
"The optimization work of Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment for Dota 2 is completely based on our understanding of the PC game. How effective it will be will be seen in the major version update next year. Moreover, these optimizations have been approved by the original team, and they will definitely be
It’s even more amazing than it is now. I think no one can question the strength of Bluebird Interactive Entertainment in the field of game originality.” Cao Yanhua had to stand up and speak out.
"Well……"
Facing the powerful Cao Yanhua, Wai Guoren gave in again.
He still wants to play rogue, but the dozen or so popular mobile games owned by Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment that have taken the world by storm have long proven Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment’s unrivaled strength in the original field.
Who dares to question easily?
"Taking over Dota 2 is just Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment's test in the field of client games. In the next few years, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment will develop at least one AAA masterpiece and four client games, which are absolutely original and absolutely stunning."
Cao Yanhua did not stop.
"Wow!!!!"
The reporters present, both domestic and Waiguoren, were all excited again.
Big news!
Looking at this posture, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment’s layout in the field of PC games is really no joke, but has a complete plan and grand ambitions.
Definitely worth looking forward to!
"Taking this opportunity, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment would like to extend a solemn invitation to global PC game developers and operators, inviting you to join Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment and jointly lead the development of these amazing games."
So domineering!
Cao Yanhua's declaration has also become the best footnote for this global press conference.
With this grand press conference, Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment is bound to shine globally again and become another popular favorite in the global gaming circle.
………
Before the press conference ended, the relevant news had actually spread to the Internet.
"I'll go, the blue bird is silent and makes a big move again."
"As a veteran Dota player, I burst into tears when I heard this news..."
"I burst into tears 1, I really hope that Blue Bird can make the turret a good job!"
“You can always trust Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment when it comes to game production!”
"Ten million in tournament prize money, my God, is it too late to form a team now?"
"Wake up upstairs!"
"The key point is that TI1 is held in Binhai City, and you can watch Panda's live broadcast, which is great!"
"I hope Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment will announce the specific game time soon. I want to book a flight ticket!"
Don’t doubt the enthusiasm of veteran Dota players.
"Isn't there another news that no one pays attention to? Dota 2 is just a trial work of Blue Bird Interactive Entertainment. There will be original client games and even AAA masterpieces in the future. Isn't it good?"
"It smells good, but it hasn't been released yet. The development cycle of PC games is very long."
"Suffering..."
"In any case, I really hope that Jade Bird Interactive Entertainment can rectify the name of China's original client game and come up with a client game that is popular around the world, and I can die in peace."
“Looking forward to 1!”
Along with the heated discussions among netizens, Dota 2 has also gained a lot of popularity in China.
This made Tengda even more afraid.
When it was time to get off work, the second master also called Rengyu to the office to urgently discuss countermeasures.
