Chapter 339: E-sports club
At the MG Esports Club in the capital.
“President Chen, welcome, welcome.”
A slightly chubby, bald man in good spirits extended his hand to Chen Mo.
It was Bai shunhua, the manager of MG e-sports club.
“Sorry for the disturbance.” Chen Zhao and Bai shunhua shook hands.
“Hey, President Chen, you’re too polite.” Bai shunhua quickly said,”you’re a friend of President Zhao. Even without that, you’re still an important guest of our club.” After all, League of Legends is developing so well now. When our club sets up a League of Legends branch in the future, we still need to have a good relationship with you. ”
“Come, please come in.”
Bai shunhua said as she led Chen Zhao into the club.
Chen Mo only had a rough understanding of the ecosystem of the clubs in China, but he didn’t know much about the specific operations of the clubs.
This time, he had to ask Zhao Zihao to get the number of the manager of the MG e-sports club through some connections. Chen Mo wanted to check on the current status of the clubs in preparation for the future promotion of League of Legends.
…
Luckily, MG e-sports club was located in the capital, so it was not too much trouble to come over.
Before coming here, Chen Mo had done some research on the e-sports clubs in parallel world.
It could be summarized in one sentence-he lived a good life, but it was very irregular.
This was mainly a chain reaction caused by the lack of variety in games.
At present, there were more than ten relatively large esports clubs in the country. They were gathered in Beijing and Shanghai, with Shanghai taking up the majority.
However, there were also some e-sports clubs in other first-tier cities.
MG should be one of the top three esports clubs in the country, and it was also the biggest club in the capital.
MG’s full name was “MysteriousGaming” and the boss behind it was a rich second generation. Of course, most of the owners of the e-sports clubs in this world were rich second generation rich people. After all, the first generation rich people usually played traditional sports.
Speaking of the current development of these clubs, their financial situation was not bad. They were not purely money-burning things. They could be self-sustaining and even make some money, so their development was not bad.
But the biggest problem was that it was not formal enough.
At the end of the day, it was all because of the game. There were only a few types of games in this world that could be used as compet.i.tive events: Without the support of MOBA games, it would be difficult for FPS, mmorpgs, and RTS games to support such a huge e-sports industry.
This world’s FPS games were also quite popular, but they were mainly popular on VR, so the number of players was naturally limited. However, even so, FPS games were still the main compet.i.tive game project of the major clubs.
RTS games weren’t bad either. The big clubs had already set up branches for Warcraft and had some small compet.i.tions. However, the number of RTS players was also relatively small, and they couldn’t establish a long-term tournament. There were only a few tournament tournaments in the country, and the clubs usually only supported one to two RTS players.
As for mmorpgs, that was what Chen Mo wanted to say the most. Logically speaking, mmorpgs shouldn’t be considered a qualified e-sports project because it required a lot of money and time to create a top-tier account in such a game. Instead of calling it e-sports, it was more like playing with paywalls.
Mmorpgs were naturally unfair in terms of time, and it was difficult to guarantee the game’s balance and wattiness. As such, mmorpgs didn’t have any influential compet.i.tions in Chen Mo’s previous life.
However, there was a slight difference in the parallel world, and that was that these e-sports clubs all had some additional services: At the studio.
This was because these e-sports clubs were all Game Studios. As the oldest online game genre, MMORPG was once the dominant game. The first thing these rich second generation heirs thought of when they set their eyes on the gaming industry was to set up their own studio.
Gold farming, boosting, game marketing … Basically, anything related to the game, the studio could intervene and get a share.
Moreover, these large mmorpgs were helpless against the existence of gaming studios. Even though gaming studios would destroy the ecosystem of the game, they would still be able to promote and promote the game.
Moreover, it was unrealistic to completely destroy the studio.
As such, in the parallel world, large game companies would form a mutually beneficial relationship with these Game Studios. When designing MMORPG games, the game companies would leave some room for the studios to develop, and each studio would also have unspoken rules, which was to not exhaust the goose that laid the golden goose. They were not allowed to use any scripts or cheats that would harm the game company’s interests.
After all, if they were to really fight, the studio would not be able to win against the game company.
E-sports clubs that grew up in such an environment still had some of the characteristics of a studio, and weren’t on the right track like Chen Mo’s previous life.
Some MMORPG games, such as moon G.o.d’s prophecy and heavenly justice of the Three Kingdoms, had rich GVS and PVP content. Heavenly Sword of the Three Kingdoms was a game that focused on world wars, which gave the big clubs some s.p.a.ce to play.
As such, the clubs in parallel world were mainly focused on FPS, MMORPG, and RTS games. FPS and RTS games were more compet.i.tive, while MMORPG games were more profitable.
The building of MG e-sports club was quite stylish. It was a four-story building with high-tech decorations, which gave people a feeling of modern and avant-garde.
On the outer wall of the building, there was the logo of MG e-sports club: It was a mysterious Nebula icon that had a very realistic feel to it.
Bai shunhua showed Chen Mo around the internal structure of the whole MG e-sports club and introduced it to him as they walked.
“This is the rest area for our players.”
“This is the contestants” cafeteria. We hired three cooking aunties to ensure that the food and drink are well-prepared. ”
“Going up from here is the contestants” resting area. Currently, two contestants are sharing a room, which is similar to a standard room in a hotel. However, it’s filled with the personal belongings of the contestants and there’s nothing much to see, so there’s no need to visit this one for now. ”
“The entire area from here is the training room. You have to swipe a card to enter. Unrelated people are not allowed to enter, mainly because they are afraid of affecting the players” daily training. ”
Bai shunhua swiped her pa.s.s at the entrance of the training area, and the high-tech gla.s.s door opened.
“President Chen, please.”
Bai shunhua led Chen Mo into the training area.
The training area was divided into many different small cubicles, and each row had seven seats. The s.p.a.ce between the seats was relatively loose, and the environment was not bad.
Many players were training, and some of them would glance at Bai shunhua and Chen Mo before turning back to their games.
Bai shunhua explained,”currently, we have six relatively large branches. Over here, we have fire a.s.sault and Wolf Soul. In total, we have 13 members. These two branches are in the innermost part of the team, and they use VR gaming pods for daily training.”
