On this day, many players still remember the Linmu Studio advertisement.
Linmu Studio announced an even bigger news!
Linmu Studio's games "Hero" and "DOTA" will hold a mid-year invitational competition together!
This mid-year invitational tournament is, to put it bluntly, a scaled-down version of the end-of-year e-sports festival. Each country and region can only send one team to compete on the same stage to compete for the final championship.
But even the reduced version is exciting enough.
Because Linmu Studio’s blockbuster first-party event at the end of the year is coming ahead of schedule!
And it’s not just this mid-year invitational tournament that is attracting attention.
Because there is only one quota in the country for this mid-year invitational tournament.
So who will represent the country in the competition?
Linmu Studio has also considered this issue.
They will hold a ‘Quota Competition’ online competition before the mid-year invitational tournament.
As long as players reach a certain level, they can participate in this event.
The final champion team will represent the country in the mid-year invitational tournament!
This is the representative team for the audition!
What's more important is that the purpose of this 'Quota Competition' online competition is not just that, it also involves league quota.
In the ‘Quota Competition’ online competition, in addition to the champion, the top twelve teams will also become the top league teams! Participate in the domestic league hosted by Linmu Studio itself!
The bottom thirty teams will become the teams in the secondary league and participate in the secondary league. The first place will also get the right to challenge the last place in the top league. As long as they beat them, they can get on the stage of the top league!
Therefore, this ‘Quota Competition’ is a preview of the league. In the end, there will not only be quota rewards...but also bonuses!
Total prize pool of five million!
The champion will get two-fifths, the runner-up will get one-fifth, the third runner-up will also get 700,000, and the rest will be divided between the runner-up and the fifth or sixth place!
Although, many players are a little confused about the fact that Linmu Studio mentioned in the announcement that the league will become an alliance in the second year.
But a huge prize pool.
The temptation of words like top league.
It instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the players and the club.
As soon as Lin Mu Studio opened the registration window, teams started arriving in droves.
As long as they have some ability, almost all players who can reach the master level have found someone to sign up to participate.
The originally peaceful gaming circle was instantly stirred up by this ‘competition for quotas’.
Linmu Studio once again appeared in the player's field of vision.
certainly.
This ‘Quota Competition’ and the subsequent league system are welcome, but some people are not optimistic about it.
After all, things like leagues have never been used in e-sports events...
Some players and even industry insiders say this is too difficult to do.
Let’s not talk about anything else for now. In the top league, if there are auditions now, if there are teams that are not clubs among the top twelve.
what to do?
The team plays games every day, but in the end they don’t get any rankings or bonuses. How can they live?
Therefore, some people are not optimistic about this model.
I think Linmu Studio takes it too much for granted...
They don't have any objections to the mid-year invitational tournament. They agree with this model. After all, holding a big tournament can really increase the popularity of the game. The prize money is also good. The most important thing is that it is held for a short period of time.
But the league system is indeed too abrupt and too long...
Some clubs, when they see the league, are actually beating the drum in their hearts.
Because according to Linmu Studio's vision, the league will have two seasons a year, and all top league teams must play the full season... In other words, they have to pay the players' wages for the entire season, and then they may not necessarily make any profits.
The club's income mainly consists of two aspects.
Sponsored ads and bonuses.
As for sponsoring advertisements, I don’t know how popular the league is, so I’m not sure if there are sponsors.
As for the bonus, it is even more empty... Who can guarantee that his team will definitely get the ranking?
but.
This is only a small part.
Most clubs still believe in Linmu Studio.
Otherwise, there would not be 42 teams wanting to participate in the league.
In fact, there is no league. These clubs also have to participate in some third-party events to make money. Some third-party events are quite popular, the competition format is not long, and they can still get sponsorships.
But this is a first-party league hosted by Linmu Studio.
There’s no way you can’t get sponsorship in the first season, right?
The heat shouldn't be that low, right?
No way possible!
At least at first...impossible.
They have all seen the grand e-sports festival held by Linmu Studio at the end of the year, and they are well aware of the appeal of this studio's event brand.
It will definitely be no problem to get sponsorship in the beginning.
You can make money no matter what.
As for the back...
More on that later.
If there are no spectators and the league fails... then it is not something they consider.
They can run... just not play in the league.
Anyway, no matter what, it’s definitely not a loss to participate in the first season!
This is their consensus.
So overall.
Although there are some different sounds.
But this Linmu Studio competition still received a lot of attention and many supporters.
…
Linmu Studio.
Lin Yao looked through the players' comments, especially the objectionable comments, and then began to think deeply.
Of course she knew that the league would have risks.
For example, by relying on rankings to determine top league spots, some grassroots teams may face the risk of having difficulty guaranteeing their income...
After all, the schedule is very heavy and there is no income. Some teams feel that they cannot get a place and may give up their place directly.
Lin Yao thought about it. She would allow the team that got the ranking to give up its quota, and then let the team in the next place make up the place.
Although... Lin Yao thinks this possibility is very small.
Because the possible premise is that the league is not popular enough and there is not enough attention.
In short, the entire event and game has been blocked, to the extent that sponsors and advertisers are not even willing to find teams to advertise... because they will lose money.
If things really turn out like this.
Then Lin Yao admitted it.
If both "Heroes" and "DOTA", which are currently at their peak, have failed, after the mid-year invitational tournament and the 'Quota Competition' have paved the way, the league has still failed.
Then she accepted her fate.
But in the previous life, the MOBA game that created the myths of S and TI, and created the most successful game event in history...will it really be so vulnerable and completely ignored?
Lin Yao didn't believe it.
So she took the gamble.
After all, to be the first to eat crabs means taking risks.
Moreover, she believed that the probability of success was still very high, after all, she had the support of what she had seen and heard in her previous life.
As for retaining the promotion and relegation system for the time being...
Lin Yao mainly wants to give the dream chasing boys a chance and provide some benefits to the teams that participated in the league in the early stage and fought hard for the league.
Gain popularity by the way.
After all, the game has just started now, the risk of alliance is too high, and seats cannot be sold at high prices.
As long as the popularity of the league is high enough and the value is high enough, it can better promote the alliance process.
At that time, Lin Yao will expand the league seats and sell the expanded seats through bidding, but will not move the existing seats.
Whether existing teams transfer their quota or continue to operate the team is their own business. The players will stay in the league anyway, so there is basically no need to worry about this.
As for why after joining the alliance, subsequent teams have to charge seat fees.
This is actually easy to understand.
The success of leagues and events is not solely the result of the operators.
Lin Yao’s previous life, if LPL did not have the hard work of established clubs such as Yu Sanjia, would it really be as popular as it is now? Would it have such a scale? No? So new entrants have to pay fees to those who have worked hard for LPL before.
normal.
Same here.
"Hope everything goes well."
Lin Yao closed the webpage, thought clearly, and stretched hard.
Next.
It's all about Nie Hui.
She is just setting the general direction. She is not responsible for the competition now. She is still required to come to the competition, and she will be exhausted...
She just needs to pay attention when the game reaches a critical stage.
As for other times, the focus is still on game production...
right.
game.
Lin Yao put down her hands, sighed, pulled over the keyboard and was about to continue working on the unfinished script for "The Witch".
But at this moment, the cell phone rang.
Lin Yao glanced at it and was stunned, then picked up the phone with a little surprise and answered the call.
