Game enthusiast Wang Chuan unexpectedly arrived in a technologically advanced parallel world.
What? Games are the Ninth Art, no less significant than music or fine arts.
Thus, starting ...
Various gaming media outlets jointly stated that the champion team will also receive championship skins and a share of sales for a season.
Although the selection of champion skins is very demanding, they must appear in the decisive game to be selected.
But even so, it is definitely a very terrifying number.
It may even be higher than the total prize money.
From the perspective of e-sports events, Wang Chuan's performance this time is absolutely unprecedented.
Players around the world were amazed at the outcome of this event.
"Oh my god, tens of millions of dollars in prize money, and there's also a share of the championship skin. This even surpasses many traditional sports events, right?"
"Huangtu Games, it's this game company, right? Are they crazy?"
"It seems that this game company is very optimistic about the development prospects of League of Legends. Although I also play it and the game is indeed very popular worldwide, I really doubt whether it can succeed."
"I have to say, this has refreshed my understanding of e-sports competitions."
"It's really great. If I have the chance, I will definitely go to the scene to watch this game in person."
"I don't know if tickets will be sold overseas. I think this game could become a record in the gaming world. It would be perfect if I could experience it in person!"
"Maybe we should first go to the company's official account and petition to allow its tickets to be sold overseas."
For this competition, countless ordinary players, no matter which country they are from.
When we learned about the scale of the World Finals, we all felt excited to witness history.
Unprecedented prize money and event scale.
There is no doubt that this will be a feast for League of Legends players.
Soon, Wang Chuan and the official side of Huangtu Game also announced how to obtain tickets.
That is to use your League of Legends account to participate in a lottery and get it for free.
The number of tickets is allocated in a certain proportion based on players from different countries and regions.
Of course, there are also a series of standards, mainly to prevent the emergence of ticket scalpers.
At the same time, this is to prevent the players who are drawn from not showing up at the scene on time, resulting in wasted tickets.
Therefore, there will be advance certification. If there is no certification within the time limit, the tickets will be given directly to some domestic players.
After this news was released, countless League of Legends players cheered instantly.
However, many people in the gaming circle are pessimistic about it.
The main reason is that people think Wang Chuan is taking too big a step this time and it is very likely that he will lose money but gain publicity.
After all, in this world, e-sports are not favored.
"Wang Chuan really went too far this time. It does look very impressive, and it is indeed so in terms of scale, but is this purely a waste of money?"
"Yes, yes. Tens of millions of dollars in prize money, plus event promotion, and a host of other expenses, a hundred million dollars of investment a year is definitely a must."
"The key is that there are subsequent leagues. League of Legends is popular, but the key is whether it can succeed. And esports, wow."
"The key point is that the income is not enough to cover the expenses. It's impossible for Huangtu Games to fund every competition out of pocket, right? Wang Chuan has money, but the key is how long can he spend it?"
"Another key point is how long League of Legends will remain popular. Generally speaking, multiplayer games should start to decline after two or three years!"
"I have a rumor that Wang Chuan rejected many sponsorships this year. The highest offer was even $2 million a year, but he still rejected it."
"That's normal. After all, I invested so much. If it were me, I wouldn't agree to it at all."
"The question is whether we can make a profit. We can't rely entirely on ticket sales, right?"
"Forget about tickets! Wang Chuan isn't even planning on selling tickets for this esports event."
"Okay, okay, let's just wait and see for now~"
"That's right, let's wait and see. We'll know after we finish watching this competition. If it's popular, there's no need to worry about monetization. If it's just a flash in the pan, then I guess this competition will only be a one-time thing."
As the news of the League of Legends World Championship spreads, auditions are also being held.
Major manufacturers in the gaming industry are also focusing their attention on the League of Legends World Championship.
For most manufacturers, Wang Chuan's actions really made them a little confused.
E-sports events, is this really possible?
Does Wang Chuan really have that much confidence?
A limitation of the times has caused many domestic game manufacturers to express confusion.
Even though some people are optimistic about the e-sports model, big-budget projects like "League of Legends" still make them feel a little outrageous.
But is Wang Chuan farsighted, or is he just blind?
We will know when the specific data of the game comes out.
......
On this day, SH City Sports and Culture Center.
"League of Legends" S1, the location of the global finals.
As of now, the audition teams from all over the world have basically been determined.
Next up is the official S1 competition and the group points competition, but there is still a month of preparation time.
The participating clubs and players from various countries have basically arrived here.
They also stayed in the hotel and training room officially prepared by Huangtu Games.
Wang Chuan is also making final preparations for the entire S1 event process.
The organizer also made some improvements to the details.
Although in Wang Chuan's opinion, there are actually still many places with minor flaws.
But after all, this is the first event, and the organizers lack experience in such large-scale events, so it's about the same.
But even so, the scale of the entire event is enough to shock players around the world.
The equipment at the center venue is being tested.
Wang Chuan was visiting with Zhou Yijian, Zhang Xiao, Liu Ran and Bai Fu, the head of Koi Co., Ltd., who was also responsible for organizing the event at Fox Live.
"Boss Wang, the popularity of the previous auditions alone has exploded!"
Zhou Yijian said to Wang Chuan with a hint of excitement.
At the beginning, people were surprised by Wang Chuan's big investment in organizing the "League of Legends" event.
Zhou Yijian, like many people in the gaming industry, remains skeptical.
After all, this is a huge investment, hundreds of millions of dollars, and it seems very likely that the cost will not be recovered.
