Imperial Capital, MG eSports Club.
"Welcome, Mr Chen."
A slightly plump, balding but energetic man extended his hand to Chen Mo.
The manager of MG eSports Club, Bai Shunhua.
"Sorry to bother you." Chen Mo shook hands with Bai Shunhua.
"You're welcome, Mr Chen." Bai Shunhua immediately said, "You're Mr Zhao's friend. Even without that relationship, you're still an important guest of our club. League of Legends is doing so well, we'll need to maintain a good relationship with you when we set up a League of Legends division in the future. "
"Come, this way please."
Bai Shunhua said as he led Chen Mo into the building.
Chen Mo had a general understanding of the clubs in the parallel world of China, but he didn't know much about the specific operations of the clubs.
This time, he had asked Zhao Zihao and used his connections to get the phone number of the manager of MG eSports Club. Chen Mo planned to observe the current state of the clubs in preparation for the promotion of League of Legends.
Luckily, MG eSports Club was in the Imperial Capital, so it wasn't too much trouble to come over.
Before coming, Chen Mo had also done some research on the current state of the esports clubs in the parallel world.
It could be summed up in one sentence: They're doing well, but they're very irregular.
This was mainly due to the lack of variety of games.
There were more than ten of the bigger esports clubs in the country, most of them concentrated in the Imperial Capital and Magic City, with Magic City being the majority.
However, there were also some esports clubs in other first-tier cities.
MG was probably one of the top three esports clubs in the country, and was also the biggest club in the Imperial Capital.
MG's full name was Mysteriousgaming, and the boss behind it was a rich second-generation heir. Of course, most of the bosses of the esports clubs in this world were rich second-generation heirs, as they usually played traditional sports.
Speaking of the development of these clubs, their financial situation wasn't bad. They didn't burn money, and were able to cover their own losses and even make some profit, so they were doing quite well.
However, the biggest problem was that they weren't formal enough.
At the end of the day, it was all because of the games. There were only a few types of competitive games in this world: FPS, MMORPG, and RTS. Without the support of MOBA games, it would be very difficult for the first few types of games to support a large esports industry.
The FPS games in this world were also quite popular, but they were mainly popular on VR platforms, so the number of players was naturally limited. Even so, FPS games were still the main competitive games for the major clubs.
RTS games weren't bad either. Most of the major clubs had already set up Warcraft divisions, and there were some small scale tournaments. However, the number of RTS players was also relatively small, and it was impossible to establish a long-term league. There were only a few sporadic cups in the country, and clubs generally only supported one or two RTS players.
As for MMORPGs, that was what Chen Mo wanted to complain about. Logically speaking, MMORPGs shouldn't be considered an E-Sports project. This was because it required a lot of money and time to create a top-level account. Rather than saying it was playing E-Sports, it was more like playing with paywalls.
MMORPGs were inherently unfair in terms of time, and it was hard to ensure the balance and enjoyment of the game. Therefore, MMORPGs didn't have any influential tournaments in his previous life.
However, there was a difference in the parallel world. These esports clubs had additional additional services: studios.
This was because these esports clubs were all based on studios. As the oldest genre of online games, MMORPGs were once the most dominant games. The first thing these rich kids thought of when they set their sights on gaming was to set up their own studios.
Farming gold, leveling, marketing … basically anything related to gaming, studios could have a hand in and a piece of the pie.
These large scale MMORPGs couldn't do anything about studios. Although studios could destroy the ecosystem of the game, they could still promote and promote the game.
Moreover, it wasn't practical to completely destroy studios.
Therefore, in the parallel world, large video game companies and studios had a symbiotic relationship. When designing an MMORPG, the video game company would give the studios a bit of room to play. Studios also had their own unspoken rules, which was not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, and not to use any scripts or cheats to harm the video game company's profits.
After all, studios couldn't beat the video game company in a real fight.
The esports clubs that grew up in such an environment still had some of the characteristics of studios. They weren't on the right track like in Chen Mo's previous life.
Some MMORPGs like Moon Lord's Prophecy and Three Kingdoms of Heavenly Justice had rich GVG and PVP content. For example, Three Kingdoms of Heavenly Justice had a war mode, which gave the major clubs some room to play.
Therefore, the clubs in the parallel world mainly focused on FPS, MMORPG, and RTS games. FPS and RTS games were more competitive, while MMORPG games were more profitable.
The MG Esports Club's building was quite grand. It was a four-story building with a technological feel, giving off a modern and futuristic feeling.
There was the logo of the MG Esports Club on the outside of the building. It was a mysterious nebula icon, very textured.
Bai Shunhua showed Chen Mo around the internal structure of the MG Esports Club, introducing it as they walked.
"This is the resting area for our players.
"This is the cafeteria for the players. We've hired three nannies to cook for us. Basically, the food is guaranteed.
"This is the resting area for the players. We currently have two players to a room, which is similar to a standard room in a hotel. However, it's filled with the players' personal belongings. There's nothing much to see, so we can skip the tour for now.
"The entire area beyond here is the training room. You have to swipe your card to get in. Unrelated personnel are not allowed in, mainly because we don't want to affect the players' daily training."
Bai Shunhua swiped his card at the entrance of the training area, and the high-tech glass door opened.
"Mr. Chen, please."
Bai Shunhua led Chen Mo into the training area.
The training area was divided into many different cubicles, with seven seats in each row. The space between the seats was quite spacious, and the environment wasn't bad.
Many of the players were training. Occasionally, someone would glance at Bai Shunhua and Chen Mo, then turn back to their game.
