Create a great era of e-sports.

That night.

Many big cities in China, such as Magic City, Imperial City, Jingzhou, and Shencheng, have all started the light show for the S2 Global Finals. You can see team promotion posters everywhere, and the streets and alleys are full of Imperial Star, Royal Family, LGD, and WE The campaign posters of the players from the four teams.

at the same time.

The Korean side is equally crazy.

Promotional advertisements for the global finals can be seen everywhere in several major domestic developed cities, and promotional short films are played continuously around the clock.

On the large advertising screens on the surfaces of high-rise buildings in Seoul, posters of contestants are shown in turn.

Some fans of the team even rented buses to promote and broadcast the event on the streets, while others distributed team peripherals on the streets of downtown, calling on people to strongly support the participating teams.

In-game.

All servers are unified to launch the S2 start event. Players can get multiple lottery opportunities by logging in to the game, matching, ranking, human-machine, and booking the live broadcast of the game. The prize pool includes many out-of-print skin gifts, rare map skins, unique equipment icons, Contestant voice roulette, unique emoticon roulette, etc., with multiple gifts constantly being given out!

at the same time.

South Korea releases the game schedule.

Sixteen teams from the five major competition regions around the world will carry out this competition policy in the three cities of Busan, Incheon and Seoul. The competition adopts a single-elimination format. The sixteen teams are divided into four groups and use the avoidance principle of the same division to conduct the group stage. In the quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals, the BO5 format will be used. The final winner will be crowned the world champion of this global finals.

Simultaneously.

The Koreans announced the latest MVP selection mechanism.

It is no longer based on the previous in-game scoring performance, but will be selected from three aspects: on-field commentators, directors, and referees. Commentators and referees each have two votes, and the director team has three votes, for a total of seven votes for selection. .

The final selection will be based on three-party voting for the winning team's players, and the player with the highest number of votes will be awarded the MVP of this game.

There are two reasons for launching this mechanism.

The first is that computer selection is difficult to convince the public and is inaccurate, and many people have objections; the second is that professional clubs have included players' MVPs in the reward assessment mechanism. Players can receive additional bonuses for every MVP they get, especially in the world. The MVP bonus in the game should be greater.

In order to cater to the needs of clubs and players, this more reasonable MVP selection mechanism was developed.

Not only will it be applied to this global finals, but it will also be adopted in subsequent leagues.

Even Mo Yu thought it was quite reasonable when he saw it, and suggested that the other four major competition regions could learn from it and introduce it.

After the competition schedule was announced, tickets for the S2 Global Finals were fully on sale.

In less than three hours after it went online, nearly 90% of all tickets for all games, whether single-game tickets, package tickets or super VIP tickets, were sold. It is expected that all tickets will be sold out on the same day, with no one left.

According to the statistics of ticket holders based on website data, in addition to the largest number of Korean viewers, the second largest number are Chinese viewers. Many Chinese people studying and working in South Korea have made friends online to meet up at the game to support their favorite team. Finally, people from several other regions will also come to watch the game.

According to preliminary statistics, there will be a huge flow of tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of passengers from at least more than 20 countries.

Subsequently, these people will bring huge economic benefits and international influence to South Korea.

Jingzhou.

Inside the airport.

Since they were all in Jingzhou, for convenience, the four teams got together and agreed to fly to South Korea together.

In the airport terminal, he walked with the team members.

Passengers coming and going cast curious glances. They were all surprised and didn't know what these uniformly dressed teenagers were doing. Wearing sportswear and carrying suitcases, they thought they were going somewhere to participate in an event. They all cast curious glances until they inadvertently spotted the athletes on the wall of the airport who were promoting their competition. Poster, I checked it online and realized it.

There are also some young people holding up their mobile phones to take photos, and some bold ones even come forward to ask for autographs.

In the VIP waiting room not far away, through the transparent glass window, Mo Yu saw two young and beautiful girls in down jackets and white velvet hats surrounding Uzi asking for autographs. Uzi's face was full of embarrassment and his face was red. I can't help but find it interesting.

The e-sports star program has been implemented for almost a year, and several players such as Uzi and Lu Zibo have become extremely popular. Not only among the players, they have become like stars even in the eyes of some people who do not play games.

Fans come up to me and ask for autographs every day when I go out. I might have to wear a mask and sunglasses when I go out in the future to prevent others from recognizing me.

Mo Yu found it quite interesting.

As he was watching, a voice came from the side.

"What are you looking at so fascinatedly?"

Looking back, it was Zhang Zhaoyang who was sitting next to him, leaning over with a curious look on his face.

The four major teams of the GPL went on the expedition. The other teams were led by team leaders or team managers. Only Emperor Star, Zhang Zhaoyang, never gave up on any excitement and personally led the team straight to South Korea.

Mo Yu turned around and couldn't help but complain: "Zhang Zhaoyang, you are so addicted. We have known each other for so long, and I find that you go to the competition whenever there is one. Is everything okay in the company?"

"There is something wrong!"

Zhang Zhaoyang takes it for granted.

Mo Yu said speechlessly: "Then if you don't work, you have to go to South Korea to watch the game."

Zhang Zhaoyang looked pious when he heard this: "Others say that food and love are the only things we can't live up to, but for me, watching games is the only thing we can't live up to! I will never be a professional player in this life, why aren't I allowed to watch a game? ?”

"Besides, when you are a boss, you need to know how to delegate power. If the company cannot survive just because of me, then there will be nothing to do. All the senior managers will be fired!"

"And isn't it the same for you?"

He looked at Mo Yu with contempt.

Mo Yu also had to admit that what he said made sense.

Since the development of Moyu Game, there are a large number of employees and complicated departments. If everything depends on him alone and the company cannot operate without him, then he should not think about anything else. He is working every day and has no time to rest at all. .

Of course Mo Yu is not that stupid.

Except for some important matters that are in his hands, other tasks are handed over to the department directors, vice presidents, and professional managers hired with high salaries. Only matters that those people have no authority will be handed over to him for decision-making.

And now that the Internet is developed, working across countries is not a problem. If you encounter problems, you can easily solve them with a video or a phone call.

So Mo Yu also has a lot of time to go out to watch games and talk about work.

"Forget it, I can't beat you."

Mo Yu waved his hand, too lazy to pay attention to him.

"That's just the truth."

Upon seeing this, Zhang Zhaoyang smiled proudly, bared his big teeth, and smiled extremely happily. It was not until the contestants in the distance also entered the waiting room that he calmed down and kept his appearance. (End of chapter)
