Once a game can rise to the level of e-sports, take root in the soil of e-sports and be nourished, it means that it has an ever-lasting audience base.
No matter how niche the game is, it doesn't matter. As long as it reaches a level where it can win glory for the country, there will always be people willing to devote their youth, sweat and blood to this project.
After all, e-sports has long been one of the official sports recognized by the country, just like many sports before they entered the sports arena, the public even knew little about them.
E-sports also has such unpopular events, such as Street Fighter, Dream Three Kingdoms and other competitive events. It has always been an evergreen tree in e-sports and has a long history.
But as long as we can win a gold medal for our country and play the national anthem on the international stage, with the blessing of honor, it will be enough to push this game to unprecedented heights.
At this level, games are no longer just games, but real e-sports.
The difference is just like the difference between the national basketball team and street basketball, but when it comes to e-sports, many people deliberately blur the boundaries.
No one thinks that just by playing basketball casually on the street, you can stand on the stage of professional basketball, but most people think that e-sports is just sitting in front of the computer and playing games, and I can do it.
Of course, it is still a long and arduous road to gain this sense of social recognition. The development of any league or competitive event is never achieved overnight.
However, once you get help at the right time, the entire development process can often be shortened countless times, just like the current League of Legends.
The heights that e-sports has reached in the past few decades are not even as high as the achievements of League of Legends in just a few years. Perhaps this is the benefit of standing on the shoulders of giants.
As a senior player, Zhou Dongsheng knows very well that the next spring breeze of e-sports will not stop here, but will continue to burst forward.
Not only has it entered the stage of international sports games, but it has also gradually evolved from an exhibition event to a formal sports event, and has gradually entered the public stage and has been recognized by more and more people.
If it can catch up with this train of the times, then "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" will definitely reach the sky in one step, because compared to other e-sports projects...
The domestic game background of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is likely to be its greatest advantage, so it is not impossible to get the attention and favor of policies from above.
Of course, this is just part of Zhou Dongsheng's immature conjecture, but obviously, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step, and everything must start with that first step.
But now that Zhou Dongsheng has issued an order, the influence he can exert has gradually begun to show its edge.
As the two gaming giants, Zhuchanggoose Factory, compete in the arena, the popularity is at its peak. It is natural that the news about holding the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" Internet Cafe League is announced at this time.
This popularity is not in vain. The official announcement of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is that it will join forces with Internet fish and Internet cafes to host the National Internet Cafe League, hosted by Banana Game Media.
The winning team will not only receive a million cash prize, but will also receive a direct entry into the top domestic league of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, where they will compete with the top domestic clubs to qualify for the Global Invitational Tournament and compete with the world's top players.
Strong teams compete for the first world championship glory...
Fueled by this enthusiasm, as soon as the news was announced, it immediately detonated the player community, and countless players immediately started a heated discussion with great joy.
After all, nowadays, League of Legends professional player Zhu Yu is at the forefront, allowing countless players to see the lucrative career path. Not only is there a chance to win glory for the country, but once they retire, they can also make money through live broadcasting.
Several professional players who are currently prosperous in the field of live broadcasting are examples. Whether it is Curly Baboon, Liu, a saucy pig, or professional players such as Big Nose Wind Team, they have all gone to work after retirement.
The pinnacle of life.
It's just that the game League of Legends has been developed for six years, and the requirements for becoming a professional player are becoming more and more stringent. Just a rank requirement is enough to shut out 99% of players.
.
Not to mention there are age restrictions, but when it comes to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, which was just around the corner, none of these restrictions exist.
For the majority of players, this is undoubtedly the most suitable opportunity to "fish in troubled waters", although the e-sports stage is undoubtedly a stage where strength is king...
But in the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", the proportion of luck is always more likely to make players have the illusion that their abilities are good.
As for marksmanship, who doesn’t know how to pull the trigger anymore? As long as he can hit the target, what’s so difficult about killing a master with random shots?
So naturally, countless players were attracted by the official announcement of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" and began to call friends, search for registration methods, and prepare to form their own teams to compete.
Regardless of whether it’s okay or not, just participate first. What if you are the one-in-a-million e-sports genius?
At the same time, the IM E-Sports Club also took advantage of the situation and released an official scarf, announcing the official establishment of the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds branch, and recruiting strong and ambitious people from all over the network to join.
At almost the same moment, the two established e-sports giants IG and WE also issued the same announcement at the same time, recruiting players from all over the network.
Needless to say, IG E-Sports Club is the handiwork of the shareholder, Principal Wang, and the boss behind the WE Club, which is also an e-sports giant, has a very good personal relationship with Principal Wang, so naturally it is just a matter of words.
After the three major e-sports clubs announced their participation in the competitive project "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", other e-sports clubs that rely on e-sports for a living have to carefully consider whether to follow suit.
After all, it is impossible for any e-sports club to put its eggs on an e-sports project. Such complacent behavior is obviously not in the interests of the club.
Those who only focus on one project can only be called a team, and the club must bet on multiple projects. Once more projects bloom, the club's interests can be fully protected.
Therefore, having one more e-sports project to choose from is also one more opportunity for many e-sports clubs, a chance to overtake in a corner.
After all, the reason why some old e-sports clubs are called giants is because they have accumulated great reputations in previous e-sports projects, and they are able to rank among the rich with the accumulation of honors.
Therefore, it is obviously not an easy task to surpass them on these traditional tracks, but in a brand-new e-sports project, in a sense, everyone is standing on the same starting line!
What's more, the potential of the new project "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is still unknown so far...
Thinking of this, the owners of many e-sports clubs suddenly made a decision in their minds. Setting up a PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds branch may require additional expenses, but judging from the current situation, this bet can be made!
After all, there are not many tracks left for them to overtake in corners, and they must consider whether this is their only opportunity in this life.
