Create a great era of e-sports

Although GAG and DOTA are very different, the maps are the same and the gameplay is the same. To a certain extent, GAG's tactics can also be played in DOTA.

After several years of development, the coaching staff of various professional teams are now different from what they used to be.

How can these people compare to those who study the results?

Therefore, in this Ladder Invitational Tournament, when many individual teams met teams with professional club backgrounds, except for a few dark horses, all others were basically eliminated.

The gap in game understanding is huge!

Even if there are a few dark horses occasionally, they still can't break into the semi-finals.

All the top four have professional backgrounds.

It's the same as LGD, which directly combines promising players into a team and then brings them back to the club for special training.

And some of them have even negotiated contracts with the club!

Mo Yu asked: "To be honest, I didn't expect that so many professional clubs would end up this time. What do you think? Are you really planning to enter DOTA?"

He originally thought that this Ladder Invitational Tournament would be a test of the waters to create a publicity and attract professional clubs to enter the tournament. Unexpectedly, it was completely in vain. Those professional clubs have already quit.

And not only the Chinese server, but also several foreign servers are the same.

Most of the teams that made it to the semi-finals have professional backgrounds.

"What else can you think? Everyone is optimistic about DOTA." Deng Junhua shrugged and said with a smile: "To be honest, even if 09 didn't ask for it, LGD would have joined sooner or later."

"GAG has been playing for three years, and we have seen the situation. The e-sports industry around the world is getting stronger and stronger. Now every game has to engage in e-sports. With the current situation of DOTA, there is no reason not to do it. It has surpassed too many games. "

"And didn't the event plan also be announced at the press conference?"

"Anyway, I think as long as you, Mo, are here, it will be impossible for DOTA to continue operating like this, and there will definitely be more and more games in the future."

Deng Junhua expressed his thoughts very frankly.

Although the server has only been open for three months, and it has been announced to the outside world that it is in internal testing, DOTA's current data performance has far exceeded more than 90% of games on the market.

No game company would be able to turn a blind eye.

Not to mention Mo Yu?

It’s impossible not to have some ideas!

What's more, Mo Yudu has publicly declared in front of the media and countless players that he will establish a DOTA competition system. In this case, it is basically certain that DOTA will become an e-sports, unless the fishing game suddenly closes down and cannot continue.

But how is that possible?

Which game from Moyu Company is not a hit?

With a monthly turnover of hundreds of millions, it is impossible for it to go bankrupt. If you just have a GAG standing there, you don’t have to worry about it for at least twenty years.

It is precisely based on these judgments that both Deng Junhua and other professional clubs from the outside have great confidence in DOTA's formation of events, so they decided to take the lead in this ladder invitational tournament.

Mo Yu sighed after hearing this: "I didn't expect you to be so confident."

"That's so confident." Deng Junhua said with a smile: "But having said that, apart from the Ladder Invitational Tournament, does DOTA have any other competition plans this year?"

He was particularly curious and hoped to get the exact information from Mo Yu, which would be a reassurance and he would vigorously develop the DOTA branch from then on.

Mo Yu laughed and said mysteriously: "Just wait."

After a short rest, the four teams rushed to Jingzhou.

The opening day of the game.

A large crowd came out of the audience.

"What's going on? Are there so many people today?" ZSMJ was dumbfounded when he saw the scene. He didn't expect that there would be so many viewers: "I thought there would only be a few hundred people at most, but this is ridiculous at least. Are there several thousand here?"

"I heard that they are offering free tickets for events." 09 said: "It seems that Internet cafes, party and government agencies, and companies in the city have free tickets. The audience who come to the scene will not confiscate the tickets. They are all free. At least several thousand were given away. .”

He was right.

At least more than 3,000 people came to the scene today. In addition to local people who got free tickets, there were more than 300 people who came from other places to watch the game.

Yang Qiu sent tickets for this Ladder Invitational Tournament to almost all the familiar companies in Jingzhou, including the officialdom.

These tickets were circulated again, which is why so many people came today.

Jingzhou is already the city with the strongest e-sports atmosphere in the country and even the world. Now that it is free to watch the game, everyone is very interested. Some people even come to watch without free tickets. They are all let in after passing the security check. The control is very loose. .

There are many men and women in the stands, many young people, and even middle-aged uncles and older sisters. If you look closely, you can see that there are a few gray-haired old men and women in the crowd. Everyone is here to watch the game.

Front of the stage.

Qiu Jinliang spoke eloquently in front of the camera: "As you can see, this DOTA Ladder Invitational Tournament is unprecedentedly grand, and people are watching the game with high enthusiasm. Next, let us interview the audience at the scene."

After finishing a long list of lines, when he saw the photographer making an OK gesture, he put down the microphone and walked over. After checking it, he nodded with satisfaction: "Record a paragraph first, then record another paragraph when the game starts, and interview a few audience members. That’s pretty much it for interviewing the players.”

"OK."

The photographer nodded, then lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the equipment. Qiu Jinliang was also checking next to him.

"Lao Qiu~"

While he was busy, a shout came to his ears. Qiu Jinliang looked up and immediately joked: "Old Yang, you are so prosperous!"

"What a development." Yang Qiu, who was wearing a slim-fitting suit, waved his hand and said modestly: "Boss Mo values ​​​​all. Besides, you are not bad at all. You will be promoted again soon."

The two are friends and have a good relationship.

When promoting the GAG ​​Internet Cafe Competition, Yang Qiu asked Qiu Jinliang, a reporter from Jingzhou TV station, to help with the promotion.

Now times have changed, both of them have been promoted and their salaries increased.

"It's all thanks to you. Besides, I can't compare with your senior executives." Qiu Jinliang chuckled, looked around, and said, "Look, the scene today is quite big, isn't it?"

"It's not bad." Yang Qiu waved his hand: "It's fair enough. By the way, I'm too busy with things here, so I might be neglecting it. Please help me greet the media friends who are here today, and don't let others go. If you are dissatisfied or have any questions, please contact me immediately.”

There were many people at the scene today, including the audience and many media reporters. He was afraid that he would not greet them well, so he asked his friends to help.

Qiu Jinliang rubbed his fingers: "Then don't worry, if your Moyu Company takes action, who dares to do something bad and get the transportation fee in vain?"

"Just in case." Yang Qiu said with a smile: "You are also a member of the media, so it is easier to talk if something happens. Besides, I am too busy and I am afraid that I will not greet you well and make others feel uncomfortable."

"Okay, leave it to me, I promise it'll be fine."

Qiu Jinliang agreed immediately.

"Okay, I won't tell you any more. I have something else to do, so go ahead."

"Go ahead."

The two chatted for a while and then separated.

Half an hour later.

Yang Qiu found Mo Yu waiting in the background.

"Mr. Mo, everything has been arranged and everything is ready."

"Um."

Mo Yu raised his hand and looked at the time. It was already 1:50 pm, still ten minutes away from the predetermined start time.

"Then let's get started!" (End of Chapter)
