Chapter 328 Risk
June 8th.
The weather is getting hotter.
On this day, when many players were still thinking about the Linmu Studio advertisement,
Linmu Studio announced an even more important news!
Linmu Studio's games "Hero" and "DOTA" will jointly hold a mid-year invitational tournament!
To put it bluntly, this mid-year invitational tournament is a scaled-down version of the end-of-year e-sports festival. Each country and region can only send one team, and then compete on the same stage to compete for the final championship.
But even if it is a scaled-down version, it is exciting enough.
Because the end-of-year Linmu Studio's heavyweight first-party event is here in advance!
And the mid-year invitational tournament is not the only one that attracts attention.
Because there is only one quota for China in this mid-year invitational tournament.
So who will represent China in the competition?
Linmu Studio has also considered this issue.
They will hold an online "Quota Competition" before the mid-year invitational tournament.
In this event, as long as players reach a certain level, they can participate.
The final champion team will represent China in the mid-year invitational tournament!
This is the representative team of the audition!
More importantly, the purpose of this online "Quota Competition" is not only that, but also involves the league quota.
In the online "Quota Competition", in addition to the champion, the top twelve teams will also become teams in the top league! Participate in the domestic league hosted by Linmu Studio!
The next thirty will become teams in the secondary league. In the secondary league, the first place will also have the right to challenge the last place in the top league. As long as they defeat them, they can enter the stage of the top league!
So, this "Quota Competition" is a preview of the league. In the end, there will not only be quota rewards... but also bonuses!
A total of 5 million bonus pools!
The champion can get two-fifths, the runner-up can get one-fifth, the third place can also get 700,000, and the rest will be divided by the fourth place and the fifth and sixth place!
Although many players are puzzled by the announcement that Linmu Studio mentioned that the league will be a league in the second year.
But the high bonus pool.
The temptation of words such as top league.
It still instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the players and the enthusiasm of the club.
As soon as Linmu Studio opened the registration window, teams flocked to it.
Almost all players who had some ability and could reach the master level found someone to sign up and participate.
The originally calm gaming circle was instantly stirred up by this "Quota Competition".
Linmu Studio once again appeared in the players' field of vision.
Of course.
This "Quota Competition" and the subsequent league system are welcome, but some people are not optimistic about it.
After all, leagues have never been used in e-sports events...
Some players, even industry insiders, said that this thing is too difficult to do. Let's not talk
about other things for now. The top league is now open for auditions. If there is a team that is not a club in the top twelve,
what should we do?
The team plays games every day, but in the end they don't get a ranking or prize money. How can they live?
So some people are very pessimistic about this model.
They think that Linmu Studio takes it for granted...
They don't have any objections to the mid-year invitational tournament. They approve of this model. After all, holding a big competition can indeed boost the popularity of the game, the prize money is not bad, and most importantly, it is held for a short time.
But the league system is indeed too abrupt and too long...
Some clubs are actually worried when they see the league.
Because according to Linmu Studio's idea, 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 there may not be any income.
The club's income is mainly composed of two aspects.
Sponsorship advertising, and bonuses.
For sponsorship advertising, we don't know the popularity of the league, and we are not sure whether there are sponsors.
As for bonuses, it is even more empty... Who can guarantee that their team will definitely get a place?
However.
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, without the league, these clubs must also participate in some third-party events to make money, and some third-party events are quite popular, the competition system is not long, and they can still get sponsorship.
But this is the first-party league organized by Linmu Studio.
How can it be impossible to get no sponsorship in the first season?
The popularity cannot be so low, right?
It's impossible!
At least at the beginning... impossible.
They had all seen the grand e-sports festival held by Linmu Studio at the end of the year, and they were well aware of the appeal of the studio's event brand.
It would be no problem to get sponsorship at the beginning.
There would be money to be made.
As for the future...
we'll talk about it later.
If there were no spectators and the league failed... that was not something they considered.
They could just run away... and not participate in the league.
Anyway, no matter what, participating in the first season would definitely not be a loss!
This was their consensus.
So in general.
Although there are some different voices.
But this time, the Linmu Studio event still received a lot of attention and supporters.
...
Linmu Studio.
Lin Yao looked through the comments of the players, especially the opposing comments, and then pondered.
She certainly knew that the league would have risks.
For example, by relying on rankings to determine the top league places, some grassroots teams may face the risk of difficult income guarantee...
After all, the schedule is very heavy and there is no income. Some teams may give up the place directly if they feel that they can't get a place.
Lin Yao thought that she would allow the team that got a place to give up the place, and then let the team behind to make up for it.
Although... Lin Yao thinks this possibility is very small.
Because the premise of this possibility is that the league is not popular enough and not enough attention.
In short, the entire event and the game are all a failure, and the sponsors and advertisers are not even willing to find the team to place advertisements... Because it will lose money.
If things really turn out like this.
Then Lin Yao admits it.
If the current "Heroes" and "DOTA" are both in full swing, the league will still fail after the mid-year invitational and the "Quota Competition".
Then she accepted her fate.
But in her previous life, she created the legend of the S game and TI, and created the most successful MOBA game in history... Could it really be so vulnerable and completely ignored?
Lin Yao didn't believe it.
So she took a gamble.
After all, being the first person to try something new means taking risks.
Moreover, she thought that the probability of success was still very high, after all, she had the endorsement of what she had seen and heard in her previous life.
As for temporarily retaining the promotion and relegation system...
Lin Yao mainly wanted to give the dream-chasing teenagers a chance, and give some benefits to the teams that participated in the league in the early stage and fought for the league.
By the way, accumulate popularity.
After all, the game is just starting now, the risk of alliance is too great, and the seats cannot be sold at a high price.
As long as the popularity of the league is high enough and the value is high enough, the process of alliance can be better promoted.
By then, Lin Yao will expand the league seats and sell the expanded seats through bidding, but will not touch the existing seats.
Whether the existing teams transfer their quotas or continue to operate the teams is their own business. Anyway, the players will stay in the league, so there is basically no need to worry about this.
As for why the subsequent teams have to charge seat fees after the alliance.
This is actually easy to understand.
The success of the alliance and the event is not only the credit of the operator.
In Lin Yao's previous life, if LPL did not have the hard work of the old clubs such as the Big Three, would it really be as popular as it is now? Is there such a scale? No, right? So it is normal for new entrants to pay fees to those who have worked hard for LPL in the past.
The same is true here.
"I hope everything goes well."
Lin Yao closed the webpage, thought it through, and stretched hard.
Next.
It's Nie Hui's business.
She just determined the general direction. The event is not responsible now. If she still has to come to the event, she will be exhausted...
She only needs to pay attention when the event reaches the key stage.
As for the rest of the time, game production is still the priority...
Yes.
Game.
Lin Yao put down her hand, sighed, and pulled over the keyboard to continue the unfinished "Witch" script work.
But at this time, the phone rang.
Lin Yao took a look, was stunned, and then picked up the phone with a little surprise and answered the call.
"Mr. Lin!" Zhang Jianghu's enthusiastic voice came
as soon as the phone was picked up . (End of this chapter)
