Chapter 134 Decisions
FPS competitions are fine online, but offline actually depends on what kind of game it is.
If it is a battle royale type.
Then offline competitions are meaningless.
Lin Yao personally feels that this type of game is not very suitable for competitions, especially the kind of competition system that emphasizes rankings. It directly changes the nature of the game. There is only escape and no killing. After finding resources, you just keep turning points to build nests, and then see that unlucky guy is left alone and kill him to continue building nests.
This is because of the level. After all, everyone's level is very high. The players are under pressure and dare not show off like in a match.
Well... In fact, any game will change to a certain extent when it reaches a mature professional arena.
But the battle royale is the most outrageous. Unless there are people landing in the place where you jump in the early stage, there will be no one to fight. In the later stage, the fighting cannot be stopped because the circle is shrinking and there are only so many points.
And the bottom team has almost no chance of turning the game around.
It is indeed not very watchable.
If it was a battle royale type game, Lin Yao just rejected Zhang Jianghu flatly because she was sure that the offline effect and atmosphere would not be very good in the end.
But now the game is not a battle royale.
The blasting mode is not like a battle royale. This kind of game emphasizes the frontal bayonet.
Whether it is the economic system, the gun or the explosion or the removal of C4, or the decision of the last person left in the team, they are all highlights.
After the baptism of the qualifiers.
It is estimated that many players will be interested in watching the offline game.
But now it is changed to an offline game, the competition system will change, and it is indeed troublesome to consider factors such as the scene.
Even with the help of Reflecta, things like the opening warm-up, the referee, the on-site commentary, etc. need to be decided by Linmu Studio. You can't really let Reflecta, who sells graphics cards, do these things?
Oh, it seems that Lin Yao, who sold processors in his previous life, also organized competitions...
But if it is an offline competition, Lin Yao still hopes that Linmu Studio can take the lead. Even if "Breakout" has a competition level like Major in the future, he 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 about it, 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.
"Okay."
Mu Wanqing knew what Lin Yao was going to discuss next, nodded, and then immediately went to find someone.
Lin Yao sat down, took 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 came back.
Lin Yao and her went to the conference room together.
...
"This is the specific situation."
Lin Yao told the core person in the studio about Zhang Jianghu's expectations and the phone call from the publicity department.
"...If it is changed to an offline competition, the time is a bit too tight. It is now the beginning of January. We originally planned to hold the finals at the end of the month. If we prepare for the offline competition now, there is only one month at most, because the New Year is coming soon."
Nie Hui is a very young man, who looks a little older than Mu Wanqing, gentle and scholarly.
Lin Yao talked to him for a few words, but it was Mu Wanqing who was mainly interviewed at the beginning.
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 and continued: "Then consider the time it takes for overseas players to come over and the time it takes to warm up for the offline events. It's really very tight."
"Indeed."
Zhong Xiu frowned slightly, nodded, and echoed.
"But."
Nie Hui changed the subject: "If we can hold an offline event this time, it will be a good thing. Now the popularity of "Breakout" and the challenge tournament are very high. If this competition can be held well, and the domestic team wins the championship with overseas players, it will have a great impact on the game."
"What if they don't win..." Zhong Xiu asked.
"In e-sports, if you lose, it's just because you're not as skilled as your opponent. There's really nothing much to say." Nie Hui organized his words and said, "Besides, Breakout has been operating in China for the longest time, and how long has it been since the small-scale test overseas? If we still lose, we can only try again next time... In addition, winning overseas is not necessarily a bad thing for us operators. It will also significantly increase the popularity of the game overseas."
Zhong Xiu was silent for a moment, sighed, and said, "That's true, but I still feel unhappy when I think about the overseas team winning the championship and taking the final prize... Although I know that for us operators, winning both domestically and overseas is a good thing, but out of personal emotion, I still hope that the domestic team can win."
"Everyone here thinks so."
Lin Yao smiled and said softly, "I also hope that the domestic team can win the championship, but if we ensure that the game 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 the overseas team this time, we will meet it next time. We have to face it."
Lin Yao's original plan was indeed to let domestic players take the lead, but plans can't keep up with changes.
In this case,
let the domestic players face it in advance.
This is not the previous life. Lin Yao really doesn't believe that domestic FPS players will really be unable to beat overseas players.
If the team selected from a large number of players still can't beat overseas players, then she will admit it. As long as the loss is not too ugly, she can accept it.
Hearing Lin Yao say this,
everyone present knew that she had an idea and looked at her.
"Since Reflecta expects and is willing to provide support, and the city also hopes so, then let's turn around and move the competition after the quarterfinals to offline!"
Lin Yao faced everyone's gaze and stated her decision.
Not long after she hung up the phone with Zhang Jianghu, she actually made a decision.
It just takes some time to sort out her 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 save some time."
Lin Yao pulled over the whiteboard and wrote the original event schedule on the whiteboard: "First of all, there is the registration stage. We can issue a notice and set aside two days. Let Reflecta be responsible for the overseas side, and there is no limit on the registration time. As long as they can come to the country to participate in the qualifiers at the scheduled time, as for how they come, since it is a requirement of Reflecta, we are just a small studio and we don't care. For the first event, we have no experience, and at the beginning We didn't prepare for offline events at all, and I believe they can understand.
Then there is the qualifying stage. We can appropriately arrange the early schedule more densely. After all, the quarterfinals are now changed to offline events. The preparations we made for the qualifying can be cancelled, and the focus can be on the offline quarterfinals, which are more popular. "
Lin Yao crossed out part of the registration stage and the qualifying dates: "If we arrange it this way, we should have enough time, and the date of the offline event, we can set it on the last day of January, which happens to be Saturday, and then count the dates of the group stage, the knockout stage, and the final, it will be completed in mid-February, and it will be the Chinese New Year after the game. "
"The competition venue will be used, and we will have a warm-up for the opening of the offline event and a warm-up for the final. As for the middle, we can just start the game directly. In this way, there is enough time. Although it is tight, it will be simple and can definitely be done."
Lin Yao talked about her plan.
The people present looked at the date written by Lin Yao 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 pointed at the whiteboard with a marker: "First of all, we must ensure the smooth and fair competition. In this regard, Nie Hui is responsible for connecting with Reflecta, and Zhong Xiu assists. In particular, the on-site equipment and referee commentary and other issues are all for you to worry about."
"Understood."
Nie Hui and Zhong Xiu nodded and agreed.
"As for the on-site effects and warm-up sessions, Miss Mu and I will be responsible for them, and we will connect with Reflecta, and then Qi Jianhua..."
"Here." Qi Jianhua responded.
"The final CG I asked you to make may need to be changed."
Lin Yao sighed: "Because it will be used in the opening ceremony, you will have to work hard."
"I understand."
Qi Jianhua nodded vigorously and had no objection.
"In addition, Miss Mu, please ask the person in charge of the music company that we cooperated with last time to come over. I want to talk to them..."
"Okay."
