Things like FPS games are fine online, but what kind of games do you actually want to watch offline?
If it's a battle royale type.
Offline competitions are of little significance.
Lin Yao personally feels that this type of game is not very suitable for competitions, especially the kind of competition system that emphasizes ranking. The nature of the game has been directly changed. There is only escape but no killing. After finding resources, you will continue to switch points to build nests, and then watch
The unlucky guy was left alone and continued to build his nest.
There is a reason for the level here. After all, everyone has a very high level, and the players are under pressure and do not dare to show off like a match.
Hmm... In fact, any game will change its flavor to a certain extent when it reaches a mature professional arena.
But the battle royale is the most outrageous. Unless someone lands where you jump in the early stage, there will be no fight at all. In the later stage, the fight cannot be stopped because the circle is shrinking and there are only so many points.
And the teams at the bottom have almost no chance of comeback.
The visibility is really not high.
If it was a battle royale type game, Lin Yao had just flatly rejected Zhang Jianghu because she was very sure that the final offline effect and atmosphere would not be very good.
But now the game is not a battle royale type.
Demolition mode is not like battle royale. This game emphasizes frontal bayonet combat.
Whether it's the economic system, whether it's just shooting, detonating or dismantling C4, or the choice of only one person left in the team at the end, they are all highlights.
After the baptism of qualifying.
It is estimated that many players will be interested in watching the game offline.
But now that it has been changed to an offline competition, the competition system will change, and factors such as the scene must be taken into consideration, which is really troublesome.
Even with the help of Reflecta, things like opening warm-ups, event referees, on-site commentary, etc. all need to be decided by Linmu Studio. You can’t really let Reflecta, who sells graphics cards, do these things, right?
Oh, it seems that Lin Yao also participated in competitions in her previous life as a processor seller...
But if it is an offline competition, Lin Yao still hopes that Linmu Studio can take the lead. Even if "Breakout" has a tournament level similar to Major in the future, he also hopes that his studio can accumulate certain competition experience.
"...Miss Mu, let a few key personnel and Nie Hui go to the conference room for a meeting."
Lin Yao thought for a while, and finally made up her mind and said to Mu Wanqing.
As for the Nie Hui she mentioned, he was the person in charge of this breakout challenge.
"good."
Mu Wanqing knew what Lin Yao was going to discuss next, nodded, and immediately went to find someone.
Lin Yao sat in her seat, pulled out an A4 paper, and began to think about what the studio should do if this challenge was changed to an offline competition.
About a few minutes later.
Mu Wanqing is back.
Lin Yao and her went to the conference room together.
…
"That's the specific situation."
Lin Yao told the core people in the studio about Zhang Jianghu's expectations and the phone number from the publicity department.
"...If we change it to an offline competition, the time is a bit too tight. It's the beginning of January now. Originally we planned to hold the finals at the end of the month. If we prepare for the offline competition now, we only have one month to count, because the New Year is coming soon.
Already."
Nie Hui is a young-looking man, a little older than Mu Wanqing. He is polite and has a bookish air.
Lin Yao had a few chats with him, but the main interviewer was Mu Wanqing.
She also believed in Mu Wanqing, so she still believed in this person.
Hearing him speak, Lin Yao looked over.
Facing Lin Yao's gaze, Nie Hui's expression remained unchanged as he continued: "Then considering the time it takes for overseas players to come over and the time it takes to warm up for offline events, it's really very stressful."
"really."
Zhong Xiu frowned slightly, nodded, and agreed.
"but."
Nie Hui changed the topic: "It would be a good thing if we can hold an offline competition this time. The popularity of "Breakout" and the Challenger League are now very high. If this competition can be successfully held, and domestic teams have overseas teams,
If a player wins the championship, it will have a huge impact on the game."
"How about taking it..." Zhong Xiu asked.
"In e-sports, if you lose, your skills are inferior to others. There is nothing to say." Nie Hui organized his words and said: "And "Breakout" has been operating in China for the longest time. How long has it been since small-scale testing overseas? If this
If you still lose, you will have to come back next time... In addition, winning overseas is not necessarily a bad thing for our operators, and it will also significantly increase the popularity of overseas games."
Zhong Xiu was silent for a moment, sighed, and said: "It is true, but I still feel unhappy when I think about if an overseas team wins the championship and takes away the final prize... Although I know that for our operators, whether it is domestic
Winning the championship or winning overseas is a good thing, but out of personal emotions, I still hope that the domestic team can win the championship."
"Everyone here thinks so."
Lin Yao chuckled and said softly: "I also hope that the domestic team can win the championship, but if we ensure that the competition is fair and just, and the domestic team still loses, then there is nothing to say. Let's come again next time. After all,
Even if we don’t meet overseas teams this time, we will meet them next time and we will have to face them.”
Lin Yao's original plan was indeed to give domestic players an advantage, but the plan could not keep up with the changes.
That being the case.
Then let domestic players face it in advance.
This was not like the previous life. Lin Yao really didn't believe it. Domestic FPS players would really not be able to beat overseas players.
If the team selected from a large group of players still cannot beat overseas players, then she will admit it. As long as the loss is not too ugly, then she can accept it.
Hearing what Lin Yao said.
Everyone present knew that she had an idea, and they all looked at her.
"Since Reflecta expects and is willing to provide support, and the city also hopes, then we will make a U-turn and change the competition after the quarterfinals to offline!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Yao faced everyone's gaze and expressed her decision.
Not long after she hung up the phone with Zhang Jianghu, she actually made a decision.
Just need some time to organize my thoughts.
"I know time is tight, and we have no experience, but there is a first time for everything. Since time is tight, let's find a way to carve out some time."
Lin Yao pulled over the whiteboard and wrote the original event arrangements on the whiteboard: "First is the registration stage. We can make an announcement and leave two days free. Let Reflecta be responsible for the overseas side. There is no limit to the registration time. As long as
As long as they can come to China at the scheduled time to participate in the qualifiers, as for how they come, because it is requested by Reflecta, we are just a small studio, so we don’t care. In the first competition, we have no experience, and at the beginning
There is no preparation for offline events at all, I believe they can understand.
Then comes the qualifying stage. We can properly arrange the early stage matches more intensively. After all, the quarter-finals have been changed to offline competitions. The preparations we made for the qualifiers can be canceled and focus on the more high-profile offline quarter-finals.
.”
Lin Yao crossed out part of the dates for the registration stage and qualifiers: "If we arrange it this way, we should have enough time. As for the offline competition, we will set it on the last day of January, which happens to be Saturday, and then count
The dates for the group stage, knockout stage, and finals can just happen to be completed in mid-February, and the Chinese New Year will be celebrated after the competition."
"The competition venue will remain the same, and then we will have a warm-up at the beginning of the offline competition, and a warm-up at the finals. As for the game, we can start directly in the middle. Calculated this way, the time is enough. Although it is tight, if it is simpler, it will definitely be possible.
manage."
Lin Yao explained her plan.
Everyone present looked at the date Lin Yao wrote on the whiteboard, thought about it, and nodded.
"Of course, simplicity is simplicity, but we can't make it too ugly."
Lin Yao raised her hand and nodded at the whiteboard with a marker: "First of all, we must ensure that the event is smooth and fair. In this regard, Nie Hui is responsible for connecting with Reflecta, and Zhong Xiu is assisting. Especially the on-site equipment, referee commentary and other issues
, you have to worry about it."
"Understood."
Nie Hui and Zhong Xiu nodded and agreed.
"As for the on-site effects and warm-up, Miss Mu and I are responsible for it, and we will coordinate with Reflecta, and then Qi Jianhua..."
"Here." Qi Jianhua responded.
"The final CG I asked you to produce may need to be changed."
Lin Yao sighed: "Because it will be used for the opening ceremony, I need you to work hard."
"I see."
Qi Jianhua nodded vigorously and had no objection.
"Also, Miss Mu, please find the person in charge of the music company we worked with last time. I want to have a chat with them..."
