Chapter 347: Chapter 346-lucky draw
The fourth floor of the experience store, Chen Mo’s own office.
Chen Mo was looking at some doc.u.ments, on which the big clubs in the country were forming professional teams in League of Legends.
There were a total of 12 clubs in the country that were willing to form professional teams for League of Legends, and Chen Mo was the first to obtain the information and composition of these clubs.
These twelve clubs had different financial resources and abilities. After Chen Mo did some research online, he decided on ten teams to be the first to enter the League of Legends.
There were a few teams that left a deep impression on Chen Mo, such as MG team, NT club team, IF team, evil Conqueror team, and North side team.
Among these teams, other than the NRG team, they were all old and strong teams in the country. Their Foundation was relatively good, their economic strength was strong, and their management was more formal.
NPC squad was an Esports Club that had only started in Warcraft. They were still young, but Chen Mo was satisfied with the name. (“Northend” means noscent.)
After deciding on the ten teams, Chen Mo sent the list to Zhao Yunting, asking her to contact the clubs and reach out to them.
This year was the first year that League of Legends had been released. It was still in its growth period, and there were a lot of things that needed to be sorted out.
It was a little too late to form a complete League this year. After all, it was already the middle of the year, and time was too tight.
…
Moreover, the clubs weren’t ready yet. The rules and regulations weren’t perfect, and the venue wasn’t fixed. It was even more uncertain how many people would watch the daily league.
As such, Chen Mo decided to skip the league tournament and use an invitation system instead. He would invite four teams each from the Chinese, Korean, European, and American servers to compete and decide the champion.
The S1 World Championship was set for October, and there were still more than three months to prepare. Considering the fact that the rules and regulations of the compet.i.tion in Chen Mo’s previous life were already perfected and could be used immediately, there was still time to prepare.
Moreover, China had already hosted a few e-sports compet.i.tions before, like the Warcraft compet.i.tion on fantasy gaming platform. The relevant staff had experience in compet.i.tions and weren’t completely without a Foundation.
Chen Mo asked Zhao Yunting to be in charge of communicating with the big clubs. In addition, he also asked Zhao Yunting to observe the more reliable e-sports hosting teams in the country. If necessary, he could directly buy the entire team.
It was expected that by the time League of Legends World Finals were held in October, the number of heroes in the game would reach 50. Although it was still a little too little, some evergreen heroes had already appeared, so the viewing and balance of the game should be guaranteed.
……
Chen Mo couldn’t help but turn on the virtual screen on his bracelet since he hadn’t done a draw in a long time.
In fact, so far, League of Legends had not brought him a huge amount of income. Since its release, he had only earned about 600 million. Moreover, a large portion of the money was used to promote his products in China and overseas.
Of course, this had a lot to do with Chen Mo’s marketing strategy. After cutting the fees for heroes, League of Legends lost a large profit point.
Moreover, Chen Mo didn’t do that many activities, like limited skins and so on. Plus, the players weren’t that pa.s.sionate about buying skins yet, and the number of players wasn’t that high. So even though League of Legends was popular, the number of players paid wasn’t that shocking.
In Chen Mo’s previous life, League of Legends’s revenue only exploded after S3. It had been completely suppressed by Crossfire in China before, which could only be said to be the result of the different revenue models.
So far, the team had been split into different groups. Qian Kun would be responsible for the updates of League of Legends, and Zhao Yunting’s operations team would be responsible for the maintenance of League of Legends. Chen Mo planned to start a new project next.
Of course, before starting a new project, he still had to spend money on it.
He topped up another 50 million and exchanged it for 50000 diamonds.
Chen Mo was quite familiar with the process now. He did the draw again and again, and soon, he was done with the 500th draw.
The items that were drawn this time were quite scattered. Chen Mo scanned through them and found a few new skill books and items.
Design-type plot creation skill book (level two): 40 books
Professional knowledge of skeleton design (human anatomy): 100 books
Professional knowledge of building design (advanced modern building skill book): 40 books
Presentation style (demonic style advanced teaching material): 80 books
Display building art (3D model): 60 books
Display-type building art (action special effects): 50 books
[Presentation-type engine, music and sound effects: 30]
[Item Type fear shrouding equipment: 10]
[Item-type engine speed regulator: 20]
[Item-type] intelligence-reducing aura: 20]
[Item-type bone memory playback potion: 50]
“Human anatomy? Evil tome style advanced teaching material?” Chen Mo started to look at the new items.
Human anatomy was more detailed medical knowledge, such as the blood vessels, nerves, bone structure, and so on. There were also different effects on the human body when different injuries were suffered.
This part of the knowledge was mainly related to surgery. Unlike traditional medical textbooks, these skill books were not only dry knowledge, but they also had some content that could be applied to game development.
Modern architecture advanced skill books were for more complex building structures. Before doing Minecraft, Chen Mo had drawn a few architecture skill books, but they were more basic. There were ancient and modern buildings, and they were mostly basic structures on the outside. The internal structure wasn’t very detailed.
This time, the advanced skill book gave a detailed explanation of the internal structure of many modern buildings, including ventilation pipes, electricity, water and drainage systems, and so on.
This time, the advanced teaching materials for the demonic book style were mainly materials and detailed explanations of the demonic art style. In fact, Chen Mo had already used the evil art style in the game when he made Diablo, but since Diablo was a game from a G.o.d’s perspective, many of the models and stickers didn’t have to be so detailed.
This time, the advanced skill book gave Chen Mo a deeper understanding of the art style of the demonic Arts, and the materials were more varied.
Modeling, movement, music, and sound effects would allow Chen Mo to better handle first person games, and make the game feel more real and immersive.
Adding on the psychology skill book that he’d previously drawn, Chen Mo’s control of the player’s psychology had reached a level of extreme precision.
