Back To 1995

  Chapter 1002 Exactly the same

Wen Wu is the first and Wu Wu is the second. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It is the same in every place and industry in the world, just like Bai Xiaosheng's Jiang Hu ranking list. Everyone knows that this thing is bullshit, but everyone Everyone believes in such a thing.

After all, there must be something to set off one's own strength and status. In the Internet industry, the emergence of the Internet Hall of Fame is basically similar to the ranking list of Jianghu Baixiaosheng. Whoever can enter the Internet Hall of Fame is the The big cows in this industry, no matter whether the gang of technical big cows believe it or not, as long as the people who eat melons believe it is enough!

Wait a few years and hold it several times. Even those who don’t believe in this will passively accept it. Whoever can enter the Internet Hall of Fame is the setting of the Internet giant. Outside the group, everyone knows that his sobriety exists, but he wants everyone to accept his "sobriety", which is basically bullshit!

Just like the game industry, after the launch of the TGA Game Awards and the Hall of Fame from Xueleshan Games, a few years have passed, regardless of whether a large number of game manufacturers such as Sony, Nintendo, EA, and Activision are happy or dissatisfied, the TGA Game Hall of Fame , has still become the highest hall of the game industry, and countless game designers and practitioners are proud to be included in the TGA Hall of Fame!

Holding the TGA Game Global Awards and the TGA Hall of Fame, Xueleshan Games is almost equivalent to holding half of the game industry's voice and standards. Which game manufacturer is against Xueleshan Games, then its games want to get TGA The grand prize is estimated to be a little hanging, and the difficulty for its game developers to enter the TGA Game Hall of Fame will be a little bit "billion".

In the future, if you have the strength to be a game expert, whether it is a designer or a technical expert, when you choose to join a certain game manufacturer, you will always have more concerns. , there will always be so many concerns!

After the emergence of the Internet Hall of Fame, it is not easy to say how much impact it will have on the industry, but it will eventually affect the choices of some people. It is certain that some technical experts will unconsciously enter Songyang when choosing a company. Companies in this camp, as long as a part of such giants enter the Xuele Mountain game, it will be enough to make money!

   "Song!"

  When Song Yang came to the living room, Gallo was taking little Andre in the living room. After giving birth to Andre, Haili, Dana and others also returned to San Jose.

Song Yang sat down and looked at Andre, one of the most reincarnated people in America. When the little guy saw Song Yang, he looked at Song Yang with beady eyes, and Song Yang couldn't help pinching the little guy all over his face. Collagen cheeks, little Andre not only didn't cry, but also giggled.

   Seeing this, Song Yang said to Gallo who was watching the live broadcast of the game on the ICNC game channel, "When this little guy grows up, I'm afraid he will be bigger than you..."

  Song Yang didn't say the word bastard, but looking at little Andre's temperament, it is likely that he really followed Gai Luo's fearless temperament, and his ability to cause trouble is also absolutely perfect.

Gallo didn't care, slipped up little Andre with his hand, turned upside down and saw that the little guy didn't dirty the diaper, put it back again, picked up a milk and stuffed it into little Andre's mouth, from beginning to end, little Andre Liedu didn't cry aloud.

   "He was born to me, Gallo, and he will definitely follow me. When this little guy grows up, he will definitely become a real man from the west..."

  Listening to Gallo's self-praise, Song Yang shook his head. Little Andre really wanted to be like Gallo before, and he would have enough headaches by then, and he might be able to cause more trouble than Gallo.

  Song Yang looked at the game channel, and it was a team match in the TGA professional league.

  Since Xueleshan Games established the TGA professional game league for the first time, the competition has become more and more formal until now. Now the entire TGA professional league is divided into three major professional league game divisions: North America, Europe, and Asia.

These competition areas form their own professional game team competitions, and then there are several wild card places. Every year, the champions born in these different competition areas, together with the wild card teams, will hold a competition between the champion teams of each major competition area. He became the TGA global champion. Last year, the prize pool prepared by TGA for the "StarCraft" global finals alone exceeded 12 million US dollars, and the champion directly took more than 60% of it!

Huge prize money has given birth to more and more professional gaming teams. Of course, the competition system of the TGA professional gaming league is becoming more and more perfect. During the first TGA Global Competition, at that time, just a few people could form a team to participate in the competition Now, it is divided into the professional league and the secondary semi-league. The new team needs to win the TGA secondary league championship before they can enter the professional league and compete for the championship. The difficulty is not the same as it was back then.

For those who want to become professional e-sports players, the difficulty is also increasing. Either enter the youth training camps of major professional game teams and wait for the opportunity to enter the rotation when they don’t know when they will be able to enter the rotation, or participate in the TGA’s annual draft. Can play games, but as long as they are selected by the team, they can get at least a signing fee of no less than $50,000 a year, and rookies can get at least a three-year contract.

   As for three years later, whether to shine brightly and become a popular professional player in TGA, or disappear in the eyes of everyone and switch to KFC as a waiter, it depends on fate...

Of course, the TGA professional game league is also constantly learning from other professional sports leagues, introducing drafts, hall of fame, analysts, coaching teams, etc., and league pensions are also under preparation. It is expected that a professional game player in the future, as long as he can participate After a certain number of professional games, after the age of 40, you can get a pension every month, which is an extra guarantee for those who want to enter the professional game industry.

The TGA professional league does not make money at all now. As long as the losses are not too outrageous, Xueleshan Games will continue to operate. For the rich and powerful Xueleshan Games, it is not short of this money. The TGA professional league is for Xueleshan Games. , is more like a huge publicity platform, allowing the entire professional league to promote some kind of game for the Xuele Mountain game!

   Even the ICNC game channel that Gallo is watching at the moment is the same. This TV channel is the world's first game channel established by Xueleshan Games and ICNC TV station with a joint investment of US dollars.

This TV channel broadcasts on a daily basis basically game competitions, various game product tidbits, game-related interviews, new game previews, etc., but this game channel actually makes money, without it, because Major game makers are advertising on it...

  As the first and only game channel in America, even in the world, as long as people who like games and can receive ICNC TV network players, they will basically browse this channel more or less.

But now, the players who play games are basically young users. Their current spending power is not strong, but in any industry, young users win the world. Now their wallets are not full. Don't you drum? !

For future consideration, major game manufacturers also advertise on the ICNC game channel, and even other companies such as food, beverages, jerseys, computer and mobile phone electronics, sports products, automobile brands, etc., are also willing to play games on ICNC for this reason. The channel advertises, which makes the ICNC game channel more profitable than ordinary channels, or even the fashion entertainment channel that has just launched and mainly advertises luxury cosmetics. After all, its TV content basically relies on Free prostitution from Xueleshan games, the cost is close to zero, and the rest is all net profit...

"Today's battle is between Xueleshan Game Team and Yahoo Team for the first place in the TGA North America Division. They are both the seeded teams of the TGA North America Division. The overall champion, it is rumored that Jerry Yang, the founder of Yahoo, is also very concerned about the Yahoo game team..."

The camera echoes in Xuele Mountain Games, the sports venue of the professional e-sports base built for TGA. This venue can accommodate not many spectators, and there are no more than 5,000 people in it, but the decoration and broadcasting equipment are the best. The top, TGA's global level competitions are basically held here.

Xueleshan Games invited many giant companies to set up game teams, and Yahoo was also invited to set up a game team. What they are looking for is not the bonus, but to promote Yahoo's new games. It looks like a money printing machine every year. Xueleshan Games, Yahoo and many other Internet giants have established their own game departments.

In the next step, Sierra Games wants to bring in Microsoft, Intel, IBM, as well as American and overseas sports clubs, and let them all invest money in the TGA professional game league to build teams, so as to attract more players. Look and pay attention.

If it works well, the TGA professional game team can be packaged like NBA, rugby league, Premier League, and La Liga teams, so that the game team can also get investment from Wall Street institutions, sponsorship from advertisers, endorsements, and then go public to cut leeks. In this way, the TGA professional league may really make a lot of money, cut a few crops of leeks, let Xue Leshan play, and earn back the dollars invested in doubled!

As for paying back the cost by collecting tickets and rebroadcasting game advertising, after the first TGA game competition is held, Xueleshan Games can no longer count on it. Businesses recognize the culture of professional game leagues, etc., which one does not need more than ten or twenty years, only cutting leeks is the fastest, just like the Internet, when the wind blows, you can pay back in three to five years...

   "Shit, Song, the ads for the TGA game are getting longer and longer, almost catching up with the NBA and football games next door!"

  After the contestant entrance ceremony, the host and the guest commentator talked nonsense in the backstage with the billboard for half a day, and then there was a few minutes of commercials, which made Gallo couldn't help complaining to Song Yang.

  It is obviously a game of tens of minutes. If one side of the game has an advantage, the game can be over within ten minutes. If you play fast, the winner can be determined within half an hour.

The TGA broadcasting team tried to extend the game time, abruptly dragging the time of a professional game to more than one hour and fifteen minutes. If it weren't for the fact that there was no broadcast, they could get more than two hours. Because for every minute of broadcast, one more advertisement can be played, and tens of thousands of dollars in advertising fees will be charged. This makes complaints about the grassroots team of the TGA professional league not a few voices, and Gallo is not the only one who complains.

Song Yang heard Gallo's complaints, but he smiled. It's not shabby to make money. If it's because of thin skin, it won't cut leeks. The grass team, no, it's the TGA league staff. What to eat, drink, and take Come to pay bonuses, rely on the mountains to rely on the mountains to rely on the water to drink water, rely on the TGA competition team, that must be crazy advertising!

   "Sorry for the unexpected situation. We received the roster for today's game from the Xueleshan game team. After the approval of the TGA alliance, the Xueleshan game team will have a special player on the field today..."

  On the TV, the commentator suddenly said, and said to the audience in front of the TV that the Xueleshan game team will temporarily replace the players in the first game today, and let a new player play.

  The camera is shown on a skinny eleven or twelve-year-old boy wearing a hat. It is obvious at a glance that the boy's body does not seem to be ideal.

   "Xue Leshan Game Team signed a one-day professional team contract with Little Mori. In today's game, he will wear the Xuele Mountain Game Team uniform and compete against Yahoo Team."

The host introduced Little Morrie who had just played, and then there was news that Little Morrie, who was born in Washington State, was suffering from leukemia and was about to undergo the next operation. Physical reasons prevented him from strenuous exercise. The most common entertainment is to play some games on the computer, and his birthday wish this year is to one day be able to stand on the stage of the TGA professional game league and participate in the competition!

No one knows what will happen to Little Morrie's surgery. His uncle contacted the TGA Professional League, and that's how today's scene happened. When the audience saw Little Morrie's identity, a buzzer rang out. Loud applause.

  America’s sports events are all good at playing this game. Whether it’s the NBA or the rugby league, they organize humanistic care activities every year. Whether it’s true or not, it really makes the audience more agree with the entire league. The TGA league also does as the Romans do.

   Anyway, it doesn’t cost much. Compared with advertising promotion, these costs are actually less, but the effect is quite good.

Sierra Games and the TGA professional league also need to be shaped and changed. People in America and overseas markets have attitudes towards games. These days, even the Internet has not been fully recognized in America, let alone games. The Liga people also regarded it as crooked and threatened to ban the sale of Sierra games.

This is the same for people all over the world at the beginning, regardless of region or ethnicity, but when the group of people who play games grow up and gradually grasp the right to speak, public opinion on games will be redefined. Playing games is a kind of As a way to relieve stress, professional game competitions are also considered to be sports competitions with the same status as football and basketball...
