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 ...
"P5 team is awesome!"
"Great! It will enhance our country's prestige!"
"What a great start!"
"Is this the strength of a strong team? The pace is so fast!"
The five players from Team P5 stood up together and high-fived each other to celebrate their victory.
Meanwhile, the people on VAN's side were pointing at the screen and discussing the reasons for their recent defeat.
"Okay, let's congratulate Team P5 for defeating Team VAN in the first game."
At the same time, the host of the event also came onto the stage and began hosting the event.
The victorious P5 team also left the battle room under the leadership of the accompanying referee.
Then, in the center of the stage, Team P5 and Team VAN shook hands with each other, and then the five of them bowed to the audience to express their gratitude.
Next is the post-match analysis and replay of the highlights.
There will also be a post-match interview session with the MVP player of this game.
This also surprised many players.
There are even special media interviews.
You have to know that in previous e-sports competitions, basically after the game was over, you would just collect the prize money and that was it.
Sometimes, the bonus may not be paid out until one or two years later, or it may not be paid at all.
As for interviews and such, it is more of the behavior of a third-party media.
This was also confirmed in advance by Wang Chuan with the organizer.
The entire event is conducted in accordance with the model of traditional sports.
Of course, there are still some differences in the details.
These are all to make players clearly understand that the e-sports industry is the same as traditional sports.
E-sports is not just about playing games.
Including daily documentaries of the players' teams, all of which are available during the competition.
It may not have much impact on the event itself, but it has a huge impact on the e-sports industry.
And the concept of e-sports should be linked to the system ecology.
Then League of Legends will also receive feedback from it.
Unprecedented scale and bonuses, as well as formal rules, are what Wang Chuan is working on.
On major online forums and gaming communities, the news of P5 team's first victory was also spread by excited League of Legends players.
"That's so awesome!"
"Team P5 is awesome!"
"VAN is strong, but unfortunately P5 is stronger."
"Congratulations to Team P5 for their successful start."
Not to mention the official event's live broadcast room, it has been flooded with various barrages.
Even on official accounts, this topic reached the top.
This also allowed more players to know about the League of Legends World Championship finals.
Countless players also started looking at the upcoming schedule.
Be prepared to watch the game on time.
At the same time, such popularity also shocked many people who were paying attention to the League of Legends competition.
With this kind of situation, is the popularity of this League of Legends competition going to explode?
......
The group stage of "League of Legends" is still in progress.
But Wang Chuan didn't pay attention to the whole process.
It is more about the overall operational direction and the general situation.
If he had to do everything himself.
Then the e-sports department of their company would have been established in vain.
During this period, Wang Chuan also discussed with the official side about the development direction of e-sports.
We want to expand e-sports so that the influence of League of Legends will be stronger.
With official leadership, there will be a lot less trouble.
In addition, the first day of the group stage has also ended. Judging from the current teams in various regions, individual heroes are still above the overall tactics.
However, despite this, it must be said that in terms of viewing experience, this fierce confrontation is indeed more enjoyable for ordinary players.
There are also many teams that have left a deep impression on players.
For example, the domestic S9 club is different from other teams that emphasize on going online, GANK, and other tactical ideas.
They were the first to adopt a global flow system.
The top laner is Eye of Twilight, the mid laner is Twilight Master, the jungler is Eternal Nightmare, and the bottom lane is Star Mother and Dawn Goddess.
The line looks very weak.
But after reaching level six, with its powerful mobility, it can instantly form a situation of outnumbering and gradually erode the opponent.
It directly amazed players and teams around the world.
In addition, there is also the veteran overseas team, the mid laner of EG team, whose personal ability like a last-hitting machine has shocked players around the world.
With the entire team's resources allocated to him, including the jungler who dedicated all his wild monsters, he was able to reach an incredible 400 last hits on Karthus in 27 minutes.
Although the domestic clubs all won their first victory on the first day of the group stage, they also felt nervous.
Because they found that the clubs in other regions were not weaker at all.
Before this, everyone believed that the domestic strength was much stronger than other regions.
The reason is simple.
Because "League of Legends" was first launched in China, by the time it was launched overseas, it had already been developed in China for about several months and had undergone several major version updates.
Including subsequent versions, domestic products are basically ahead of overseas products.
In addition, Wang Chuan has always been in control of the competitive environment.
This resulted in no so-called actor phenomenon occurring in high-level bureaus.
This makes the high-level King's games superior in terms of rhythm and quality.
Including overseas professional players, even if they have to endure higher delays, they are willing to create a smurf account to come to the domestic King of Glory game to practice playing against strangers.
But now it seems that the strength of other regions is not weak at all.
But overall, domestic teams still have a greater advantage.
After all, the player base is larger, and whether it is the version or the game launch, China has a leading advantage over foreign countries.
Plus there is a more metaphysical factor, the home field advantage.
There is basically no time difference, and there is also the influence of living habits.
It can be said that domestic teams have advantages in all aspects. If they still cannot beat foreign teams, then there is no other reason except that they are inferior in skills and have to admit defeat.
As the group stage progresses, the general situation has become clear.
Among them, the two teams P5 and S9 maintained an undefeated record in Group A and Group B.
The qualification for promotion has been directly locked.
It's just a matter of advancing by ranking first or second in the group.
