Chen Mo's second appearance on stage had the attention of the video game designers in the audience, full of envy.
"Chen Mo looks like he's going to go against the heavens this year! I don't think these two awards are enough, there's definitely more to come! League of Legends has already secured the Best Game on PC. Even if Overwatch doesn't get Game of the Year, it should at least get something else right? "
"That's insane. Although Chen Mo has made a lot of headlines in the past, it seems like there's a lot more this year?"
"It's mainly because the games Chen Mo released this year are all very popular. Think about it, League of Legends swept the PC market and even held the World Finals; Outlast is basically the best horror game in China; and Overwatch …"
"I feel like other video game designers would be lucky if they could make one in two years. Chen Mo made three in one year, that's cheating!"
"Did you guys forget about Digging Ground for Advancement? This game was also trending all over the livestream platforms."
"That's a bug."
"Actually, if you look into it, these four games aren't technically difficult, and the content isn't rich either. The key is that they're hard to design, and ideas are hard to come by."
"I can only say that anyone who has the potential to become an S-grade video game designer is a monster!"
"Just watch, there's probably more to come."
…
Next up was a series of categories, Best Shooter, Best Fighting, Best Adventure, Best Sports, Best Competitive, Best Strategy, Best Role Playing, Best Action, Best Puzzle Game …
Chen Mo was once again rewarded, Overwatch won Best Shooter, and League of Legends won Best Competitive Game.
There was still no suspense.
There weren't any outstanding FPS games in China this year, and even if there were, they wouldn't be able to compete with Overwatch for Best Shooter.
This was because Overwatch had two things that other FPS games couldn't compare to. One was the innovative gameplay, adding hero skills into the shooting, and the other was the characters and settings, which basically surpassed 90% of the other FPS games in China.
As for the best competitive game, "League of Legends" had fully demonstrated the game's competitive nature and popularity among players in the World Finals. The fact that major esports clubs had set up "League of Legends" reflected the game's huge contribution to the domestic esports industry.
Chen Mo was a bit speechless after going on stage twice in a row.
He had already received two awards. Two more times, and he had to thank his superiors?
It seemed a little stupid.
Chen Mo had no choice but to look into the future, talking about the future of competitive gaming, as well as his own wishes.
At the same time, it strengthened the effect of the previous deception, making more people agree with Overwatch's esports model.
On the live streaming platform, all kinds of bullet screens were already flooding the screen.
"Him again? Why do I feel like he's been here a few times already? "
"Did he bribe the judges? Why are there so many awards? "
"The one above, are you f * cking kidding me? You don't even know him? "
"Yeah, it's fine if you don't know anyone else, but Chen Mo? What a disgrace! "
"I think the judging process is very objective and fair. League of Legends and Overwatch don't deserve to win these two awards. It would be shady to choose something else, right?"
"Hahaha, Chen Mo's expression is a little awkward. I want to see his seat, where did he put the previous trophies? You can't let it go, can you? "
…
After the series of games ended, the award ceremony gradually entered its climax. Next up were four very important games.
Best Indie Game, Best Mobile Game, Best PC Game, and Best VR Game.
These four awards were basically the foreshadowing, choosing the best game of the year on each of the three platforms. At the very least, it represented that the game was the best on the same platform.
As for Best Indie Game, it was a form of encouragement for the independent video game designers.
Everyone was looking forward to who the four awards would go to.
"I hereby announce that the winner of Best Indie Game of the Year is — Magnificent Tang, Designer Lin Mu!"
…
"The winner of Best Mobile Game of the Year is — Lost Time, Designer Zhang Xiaokong!"
…
"The winner of Best PC Game of the Year is — League of Legends, Designer Chen Mo!"
…
"The winner of Best VR Game of the Year is — Overwatch, Designer Chen Mo!"
The four awards were given out one by one. The first three games didn't have much controversy, but the last VR Game of the Year attracted quite a bit of discussion.
Magnificent Tang had the potential to be nominated for Game of the Year, so getting Best Indie Game would be normal. It would be a problem if it didn't.
As for Best Mobile Game, although Chen Mo's Shore of the Earth wasn't bad, it was too commercial. Zhang Xiaokong's Lost Time was a standalone game. It was very well done in terms of story and gameplay, so it was very deserving of this award.
As for Best PC Game of the Year, it would be a problem if League of Legends didn't win this award after sweeping the PC market.
As for Best VR Game of the Year, many people were still doubtful that Overwatch was the winner.
Generally speaking, Best VR Game and Game of the Year were two similar awards, as they were both chosen from VR games. According to the unspoken rule, if there were two VR games that were great in every aspect, the one that was slightly worse would win Best VR Game, while the better one would win Game of the Year.
Now that Overwatch won Best VR Game, did that mean Game of the Year was going to Magnificent Tang?
"Why did Overwatch get Best VR Game? What about Magnificent Tang? "
"Normally, they should get one each. Doesn't that mean Game of the Year is going to Magnificent Tang?"
"That's impossible. I think Overwatch is going to take both awards!"
"That's too much! Magnificent Tang would have been able to compete for Game of the Year if it was in the past! "
"Is it appropriate for a competitive game to win Game of the Year? There's no way the Game Committee would give it that easily. "
"Whatever, stop guessing. Let's watch Chen Mo receive the award first!"
"How many times has Chen Mo been on stage? I think it's the sixth time already? "
"Hahahaha, I feel like Chen Mo has nothing to say. I've said everything that needs to be said!"
Chen Mo walked onto the stage and received the trophy from the presenter.
The presenter also had a 'Why is it you again' expression on his face.
Chen Mo didn't know what to say as he looked at the audience.
He had been on stage five times already. He had even imagined the future. He had also thanked those that needed to be thanked, such as the Game Committee and the players twice.
Chen Mo held the trophy in his hand as he spoke into the microphone for a long time.
