Chapter 756: Biased Brother Yang: Building South Korea into an eSports Nation
The Korean Internet became lively. "Honor of Kings" had just been released, and the official actually invested so much money in Korea to start the first season.
This is real money, and such a bonus has excited many Koreans who play games.
However, many Korean scholars and big Vs began to criticize Su Yang and Pangu Games on the Internet, saying that Pangu Games had malicious intentions and wanted to use games to harm the next generation of South Korea.
However, in response to such accusations, many of Su Yang's fans and game enthusiasts began to criticize them.
"Get lost, stop blaming the game for your own poor performance..."
"Is it games or chaebols that are truly harming the next generation..."
"There are so many things that harm the next generation, what's the point of games..."
"Damn it, I can't even play a game anymore?"
"I support Brother Yang, I enjoy playing games, what's wrong?"
"My child doesn't play. For children who don't like studying, if they don't play King of Glory, they will play other games..."
"It's like there aren't enough Korean games. Look at the Korean game companies, they all make a lot of money..."
Su Yang has a very large influence in South Korea, although many South Korean companies hate Su Yang to the core.
But many Koreans are unhappy, especially after seeing the Samsung chaebol's misfortune a while ago. Many people who can't get a job at Samsung are gloating over it. They hope Samsung will be destroyed.
As Korean people, they themselves know better than anyone else the influence of chaebols in their country.
After all, South Korea's media is relatively developed, and they dare to shoot film and television works.
Some people originally didn't pay attention to the game "Honor of Kings", but when these people said it would be banned, some people started downloading the game and playing it.
"Important Notice: The rules for the 'Honor of Kings' Qingyao Cup Global League have been announced..."
Just when everyone was making a fuss, another bombshell news came out.
Qingyao Cup Global League, the entire league is held once a year.
The finals will be held on December 31st every year.
The Global League is played in a five-on-five format, and participants must register as teams. Competitions are also played between teams.
The rules of the competition are the same as those of the World Cup, and the competition areas are divided according to the axis.
In the regional competition, each country is allowed to have eight teams participate, and these teams compete to promote the top three teams from each state.
Only the top three teams from each continent are eligible to participate in the global league.
The global league also uses a points system, which is similar to the rules of football.
Then they will advance slowly until the champion is decided.
The winning team will get to keep the Qingyao Cup, which is made of pure gold.
Not only that, the prize money for the championship made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
If he wins the championship, he will receive a super bonus of 100 million US dollars.
In comparison, the runner-up only received 30 million US dollars, and the third place only received 20 million US dollars.
The fourth to tenth place winners will each receive a prize of US$10 million.
But there is no bonus after the tenth place.
The terrifying prize pool shocked everyone.
Even the football world was shocked. The prize money was incredible, rivaling the world's top competitions.
In addition to the team bonuses, some honors such as best shooter, best support, best jungler, and best mage will also be selected, and they will also have high bonuses.
This is similar to the Golden Boot in football. The entire model is calculated based on top competitions.
"Oh my goodness, this is too scary..."
“This is so awesome…”
"Fuck! If I could win the championship, I'd never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life..."
"Fuck, guys, should we form a team?"
"OMG……"
The news shocked the world.
For gamers worldwide, this prize pool is unprecedented. The total prize pool for a single season exceeds $200 million, with the champion team taking home $100 million.
One hundred million US dollars. This is not Korean won or Zimbabwean dollars, but US dollars.
Five people, each can share a pre-tax bonus of 20 million US dollars.
Even after deducting taxes, this is still a huge amount of money. After tax deductions, each person can get about 100 million yuan.
After winning a championship, I will never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of my life.
This news made "Honor of Kings" popular all over the world, and countless top professional gamers began to play this game.
And some studios have also begun to take action.
Money, this is all money.
They see not only the prize pool money, but also the money that the top teams can make.
Anyone who plays in the studio can see what Pangu Games is trying to do.
To build a league, no wonder it is called e-sports game.
So this is eSports. It turns out that playing games can become a profession, a source of pride, just like any other athlete. You can make a lot of money and even bring glory to your country.
"My main mission in Korea this time is to build a league. Don't worry about funding. This will especially be for the U12, U14, and U16 leagues."
Su Yang was meeting with the team preparing to go to South Korea in the conference room.
This team is the operation and promotion team of Pangu Games, and their first stop is South Korea.
Their mission is to promote "Honor of Kings" in South Korea and establish various clubs.
At the same time, we also need to create idols, promote gamers to top idols, and make them the objects of worship for young people in South Korea.
The three-age leagues are even more shameless. They are like youth training camps for football.
Starting from a young age, there are age restrictions for these three leagues: 12, 14, and 16. However, the prize money for these leagues is not low.
Learning to play games from a young age is such a bad idea.
However, under the trend of interests, as long as the operation is proper, many parents will take action.
It's just like art students, learning dance, music, singing, isn't it just for the sake of becoming famous?
Korean parents feel very guilty. Since they were willing to send their children to trainee schools since childhood, now that game players can become superstars, they will send their children to game training camps to train their children to play games.
Especially when role models emerge, this kind of trend will gradually emerge.
But games are different from music and dance. Music and dance are very tiring to learn and require talent.
Games are different. They are not tiring and children are more willing to learn.
As for the consequences of not becoming a star in the future, haha, that would be fun.
If you do well, you can become a professional player or game anchor.
Those who don't do well can only be considered as game masters. The most important thing is that a game cannot be popular forever.
Everyone couldn't help swallowing their saliva when looking at Su Yang, and sighed in their hearts. Brother Yang must hate Koreans so much that he would rather not make money and make such a plan. He is preparing to harm the next generation of Koreans to death.
Su Yang smiled slightly. His goal was to build South Korea into a country of e-sports, and such a reputation was quite good.
