My rebirth is different

Chapter 651 The box goes online
Perhaps Effie is not outstanding enough in terms of the overall situation and height, but in terms of execution, she is still very good.

Throughout the middle and late September, she led the team vigorously and resolutely, and achieved a series of victories.

September NO.18, Facebook Games acquired the WCG event brand and its operating company at a price of 200 million US dollars.The newly established "E-sports Division" within the company formally entered the e-sports industry.The original WCG operating company team was merged into the Facebook game as a whole, responsible for the organization of future events.

September NO.20, Facebook Game and Project Hope Foundation reached a cooperation. Half of the 2003 WCG commemorative edition skin sales will be donated to Project Hope, which will be used to build Hope Primary Schools, libraries, train rural teachers, and improve the quality of life for students in mountainous areas. Diet and nutrition etc.

Moreover, Facebook Games has promised a guarantee amount of 500 million US dollars in the cooperation agreement, that is to say, if the sales of the commemorative edition skins are not good, the part that is less than 500 million US dollars will be made up by Facebook Games.If it exceeds 500 million, there is no upper limit on the donation amount!
On September 25th, not many people paid attention to it, and the Magic City government issued a document to the relevant departments.The city positioning of Shanghai Magic City has added an "e-sports capital". In order to make the city image of Shanghai Magic City younger and more popular with the younger generation, Shanghai Magic City will actively promote and support the development of the game and e-sports industry.

On September 28, Facebook Game Mainland Headquarters and the North American company jointly issued an announcement. The 2003 WCG will start the global selection competition in December, and the global finals will be held in Shanghai at the end of December. The prize money of this competition will also be unprecedentedly rich!

........................

The Facebook game announcement caused a sensation in the game circle.

"WCG was acquired by Facebook? The bonus is unprecedentedly generous?! Damn! Originally, our CPL just got a big sponsorship this year, and we said that we would overwhelm WCG!" The boss of the CPL operation company said angrily.

CPL is operated by a company in North America, and it is also well-known in the world. It is listed as the world's two major e-sports events with WCG, and it has been established longer than WCG.

This year, the CPL operating company just got a sponsorship of up to 80 US dollars from Hewlett-Packard Computer Company, ready to do a big job, and the news broke that Facebook Games entered the e-sports industry.

Of course, the industry is no stranger to Facebook games. This is the parent company of Valve and Blizzard!
Notoriously rich and powerful, there is no one in the European and American game circles who does not know the Facebook game platform, and no one has not used this platform.

Obviously, this year's WCG, the prize money will be extremely generous.

But it is strange that in this announcement, the Facebook game did not specify how many bonuses there are.

When some game journalists inquired through personal relationships, they did not get an accurate reply. People from Facebook all said mysteriously that this number is unknown now, but the number will be unexpectedly high!

CPL can't hold back anymore, and NO.30 took the lead in making a high-profile announcement in September, announcing that the total bonus of CPL this year will reach a million dollars!
The CPL in 2003 had a total of five competitions. In addition to the three main events (Counter-Strike is Half-Life, Warcraft, and StarCraft), there were two games, Halo and Serious Sam.

Among them, the counter-strike project bonus reached 30 US dollars, which is the highest single bonus in the history of e-sports!
They are going to compete with WCG for attention. Obviously, for any competition, the more attention and influence the better, because it means that the sponsors will keep rushing to give you money.

If no one watches a game, there will definitely be no advertising revenue, and there will be no high-level players to participate in the game.

In fact, with regard to CPL, Facebook has discussed internally whether it should also acquire it by the way, or cancel the authorization of several games to it.

After discussion, everyone thought it would be better to keep it, because the CPL competition is before the WCG, so it is right for the players to warm up and create momentum for the WCG.

Moreover, this competition does not pose any threat to WCG at all. When the bonus amount of WCG increases, everyone will understand that this is not a competition of the same level at all!

…………

On October [-]st, the Facebook game platform, Half-Life, Warcraft, and StarCraft released new patches at the same time, announcing the official launch of limited edition game skins, and gift boxes can be purchased through the store in the Facebook game platform.

By opening the box, you can get various 2003WCG limited edition skins. The price of the box is not expensive. In economically developed countries such as Europe and the United States, the price of a box is only one dollar.In developing countries, such as the mainland, Africa, etc., a box only costs [-] US dollars.

And the Facebook game is very conscientious, as long as you open the box, you will definitely get a skin, never lie to Krypton!
This year's limited skin theme is "Oriental Dragon".

The skin forms of the three games are also different. Warcraft and StarCraft are relatively simple, because the number of players of these two games is incomparable with Half-Life, so Facebook Games did not spend too much on these two games energy.

In StarCraft, a limited flag is added, which will be erected on top of your main base in the game. By opening the box, you can open several flags of different colors, such as black dragon, white dragon, red dragon, blue dragon, etc. Among them is the rarest golden dragon!

Warcraft has the same skin as StarCraft, and they are all limited edition flags, and the colors are also the same.

Because after Effie and the others' analysis, these two games have little potential for krypton gold, so there is no need to make it too complicated.The main base is the most conspicuous place in these two games and often appears in the camera, so it is more eye-catching to put a flag here, presumably players will buy it.

The main force of krypton gold this time is of course Half-Life!

Because Half-Life has the largest number of players, and is currently the most popular, most influential, and most watched game!

So Half-Life's limited skin is more complicated, mainly the gun skin, because in this game, guns are the most concerned thing.

And there are several guns that are particularly popular among players, such as the Desert Eagle, AK, M4, and AWP, which are definitely the favorites of every player.

There are many things that can be opened in the limited skin box of Half-Life, and the skins of various guns may appear. Of course, the rarest golden dragon skin is still the most difficult to open.

…………

Facebook Games specifically pointed out that this time the "Oriental Dragon" theme skin will be permanently offline by the end of this year's finals.And all the income from box sales, Facebook Games will not take a cent, half of it will be used for WCG competition prize money, and the other half will be donated to Project Hope!
