Create a great era of e-sports.

Chapter 230 Double Elimination System
The 15 seconds before and after the start of the CC news column is recognized as the golden advertising space.

Every year, many companies spend huge sums of money on bidding, especially wine companies, which often spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, and the sales growth brought about is also extremely gratifying.

There used to be a small local wine company that spent hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire that golden advertising space. As a result, in less than half a year, it earned back all the money it spent, and even more!
Yan Kai first judged that with the current popularity of e-sports and the current number of users of "God and God", it is absolutely no problem for the number of viewers of the S game to reach one million.

On this basis, the high prize money of the event itself and topics such as international duels will also be widely reported and publicized by various media.

The number of viewers in the final S game must be far more than one million!
That's why he felt that Mo Yu would definitely be able to sell an advertising space for 1000 million!
Mo Yu smiled and said: "Those are still things that have no shadow. Although the forecast is very optimistic, the specific situation will not be known until the news of the S game is released. Maybe even a single advertising space cannot be sold. Woolen cloth?"

"Businessmen are not that stupid, especially big businessmen, their vision is extremely precise." Yan Kai shook his head first: "At that time, someone will definitely come to the door, but I found a problem, the distribution of bonuses is detailed by you to each ranking , but looking at the few games you are holding now, it seems that it is difficult to accurately determine the team ranking."

"Well." Mo Yu nodded and said: "The previous games used the single-elimination elimination system. If the team loses, it will directly fail and have no chance of promotion. However, this system is not safe for this S game. So I'm going to use the double elimination system."

"Double defeat? Single defeat?"

Yan Kai didn't know much about this at first, so he looked at Mo Yu and waited for his explanation.

Mo Yu explained: "The double-elimination knockout system, that is, a team needs to lose twice to be considered a final failure. In terms that are more familiar to the public, it is the loser's bracket and winner's bracket games that we hear every day. gone."

"When a team loses, it will not be eliminated. Instead, it will be transferred to the loser's bracket, and will play against other loser's bracket teams again. After winning, it will remain in the loser's bracket, and then continue to compete with other teams. Confrontation, until the end, the winner group No.1 and the loser group No.1 will have a grand final to decide the final champion!"

"The advantage of this competition system is that when a team loses due to external factors or its own situation, there is still a chance to start over!"

After all, this is the first S game, and Mo Yu wants to discuss who is good and who is bad between the two competition systems in this world's e-sports system.

The LOL World Championship in the previous life adopted a single-elimination system, while DOTA's TI adopted a double-elimination system.

Mo Yu planned to use a double-elimination system to see how the specific situation is, and then wait for the next S match to change.

"Understood." Yan Kai nodded first and said: "But this seems unfair to the team that has been on a winning streak. The loser's bracket has two chances, and the team that has been winning in a row must be in the finals at the end, but they didn't fall into defeat again. Opportunity for the group."

"Actually, it's all the same." Mo Yu shook his head and said, "Every team takes the same risk. Who can guarantee that they can win consecutively? The biggest advantage of double-elimination matches is that it gives them a chance to adjust their status. "

"And the winner of the winner's bracket still has the advantage of waiting for work at leisure, how can it be said that it is unfair?"

"The same is true for the loser's group. After so many bloody battles, it can be said that the loser's group is more cruel, whether it is more and more courageous to win the championship with invincible momentum, or exhausted and finally collapsed!"

"That's true." Yan Kai agreed first: "In the arena, the outcome is unpredictable, and no one can be sure that they must be undefeated!"

"That's the truth."

Mo Yu nodded slightly.

In the single-elimination system, one team loses and it's over. Maybe a strong team loses to a weak team due to illness or other factors, causing a big upset.

The double-elimination system gave this strong team a chance to start all over again for revenge.

If you still can't beat it, you can only say that this team is a pseudo-strong team!

"It seems that you have considered all aspects of this S competition. The competition system and prize money have all been considered. You just don't know the location of the competition. Have you settled it? Such a large-scale competition cannot be held in one place. Is it held by the city?"

Yan Kai opened his mouth slowly first, staring at Mo Yu, he couldn't help asking.

The scale of the S competition is too big, he is definitely unwilling to give up, and must fight for Jingzhou.

Several e-sports competitions have brought huge benefits to Jingzhou, not only economically, but also fame and word of mouth.

What e-sports competitions bring to Jingzhou is not only the people watching the games, but more and more outsiders know about Jingzhou and come to Jingzhou to work and play. The arrival of these people promotes the prosperity and development of the whole city as a whole.

Although he also knew that with the current situation in Jingzhou, there was a high probability that a match would be arranged, but he still wanted to get a more definite answer from Mo Yu.

"Are you asking about Jingzhou?"

Mo Yu laughed and spoke out.

"That's right." Yan Kaixian also generously admitted after seeing the situation: "Jingzhou is definitely the city with the strongest e-sports atmosphere in the world. In other words, it is also the best venue for the S competition. I want to hear what you think."

"Jingzhou is also of great significance to me!" Mo Yu said with emotion: "It is not only my hometown, but also the starting point of entrepreneurship and the starting point of e-sports development. This city means a lot to me!"

"And you and other officials have given me great support, how could I not reciprocate?"

"So?" Yan Kai asked expectantly.

Mo Yu smiled slightly: "How about the finals? I plan to arrange the finals of this S game in Jingzhou!"

"it is good!"

Yan Kai heard the words first, and immediately lifted his spirits.

The finals will definitely be the most watched game in the entire S game.

Based on the information disclosed by Mo Yu, he is sure that in addition to the huge number of audiences and tourists from all over the world, there will definitely be media from all over the world. The media companies behind those people will be no small people.

As long as Jingzhou can leave a good impression on them and mention Jingzhou in the report with one or two good words, such as the city's business environment is good, the citizens are enthusiastic, the environment is clean and tidy, etc., it will surely give Jingzhou a strong reputation on the international stage. Leaving a good name is of great benefit to the entire city!

"Sure enough, I didn't misread you kid!"

Yan Kai laughed loudly, patted Mo Yu's shoulder and said, "Don't worry, there will never be any bad things in Jingzhou in this competition, and we promise to cooperate fully and never delay!"

"Thank you very much!" Mo Yu said with a smile.

"Thank you?" Yan Kaixian waved his hand: "We can be regarded as people on the same boat. We are both prosperous and wealtered, and we are inseparable! Since you gave Jingzhou a chance, how could Jingzhou let you suffer?"

"Well, when you go to another city to choose a site, just call back if you have any questions, and I'll help you mediate one or two, how about it?"
