When Chen Mo finally managed to squeeze out the words' thank the country ', the designers in the audience couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"I'm dying of laughter, I can tell that Chen Mo has nothing to say!"
"After so long, he can only say thank the country, hahahaha!"
"It's obvious that he's not thoughtful enough. Shouldn't the country be the first to thank him? He's so reluctant to thank him at the end. If this was in the sports industry, he would've been forced to write a self-examination! "
"Exactly, he might even have to take back the award!"
The designers in the audience and the netizens on the live streaming platform were all making fun of Chen Mo, mainly because Chen Mo had won too many awards this year.
Many of the designers sitting next to Chen Mo peeked at his seat. Chen Mo was holding a trophy on the stage, and there were five more in his seat. He was running out of space.
Fortunately, although the trophies were beautifully made, they weren't big. They were about the size of a mineral water bottle.
If they were the same size as the trophy from the League of Legends finals, Chen Mo might have to hire a moving company to move them back.
Chen Mo returned to his seat and painfully placed all six trophies on the floor before sitting down.
After the first four awards, the last award, which was also the biggest award, Game of the Year, was about to be announced.
Everyone was looking at the stage, waiting to see who would win the award.
The emcee went on stage.
"This year is a great year for the domestic video game industry. We've already seen the best games of the year in the previous awards. It was an exciting year."
"So, who will win this year's Game of the Year? Please take a look at the big screen, next are the nominees for this year's Game of the Year. "
The big screen began to play the highlights of the nominees.
In the background of the celestial world, demon world, and human world, countless cultivators were flying across the sky on their flying swords. In the dark and chaotic demon world, immortals were wielding their flying swords to slay demons.
…
Chang 'an City was shrouded in darkness. An assassin in a black suit was moving quickly on the roof tiles. He had a Tang knife on his back and a hidden weapon in his hand. He was hanging upside down from the roof beam, observing his prey.
…
The Pharaoh Eagle flew out of the clouds and headed for the battlefield in the distance. The Angel stretched out a hand to the children who had fallen in the ruins. The Hammer raised his shield to block the Molotov cocktails …
Every time an exciting clip was played, the name of the game would be shown on the big screen, and the game's background music would also be played in the venue.
Although there were two other games in the list, everyone knew that they were just there to support the competition. They were not competitive at all. The real Game of the Year would still be born from these three games.
Grand Tang Dynasty.
Three Realms.
Overwatch.
On all the major live streaming platforms, countless bullet screens were being flooded.
Many players had been paying attention to the award ceremony in previous years, but they never had the chance to witness it live. This year was the first live broadcast, and many people were guessing who would win the annual award.
"Grand Tang Dynasty! It must be Grand Tang! "
"'The Three Realms' isn't bad either. Why not 'The Three Realms'?"
"Scram, this is an award ceremony! Obviously, 'Grand Tang' is better than your 'Three Realms' in terms of story, artistry, and gameplay. "
"Stop fighting, the two of you. In my opinion, this award belongs to Overwatch!"
"Impossible! There's no way Grand Tang Dynasty won't win! "
As the applause died down, the chairman of the Game Committee, Zhang Zhongxiang, was already on stage. He held the Game of the Year trophy in his left hand and flipped through the list of winners with his right.
"I hereby announce that the winner of Game of the Year is —"
He paused and looked at the video game designers in the audience, "Overwatch, designer Chen Mo!"
The venue was filled with applause and cheers!
With Overwatch's classic background music playing, Chen Mo stood up and walked onto the stage again.
"I knew it! It's Overwatch! "
"Too bad it's not Grand Tang Dynasty?"
"With the quality of Grand Tang, it's also possible to compete for the game of the year in other years! They didn't even win the two biggest awards of the year, Best VR Game and Game of the Year? "
"Geez, it can't be helped. Strictly speaking, Grand Tang Dynasty isn't perfect. It has flaws, so it's no surprise that Overwatch got the award."
"I can only say that it's a pity that 'Grand Tang' and 'Overwatch' are clashing."
"Chen Mo really did a grand slam this year, his hands are sore from winning so many awards!"
The video game designers clapped and discussed among themselves.
Overwatch winning the Game of the Year award wasn't something they couldn't accept, as it was within their expectations.
Although there was a certain suspense between Flourishing Tang and Overwatch, in the eyes of these professional designers, it was obvious that Overwatch was slightly better in all aspects.
Chen Mo took the trophy from Zhang Zhongxiang on stage and stood next to the microphone.
"Thank you, everyone. Thank you again to all the fans of Overwatch.
"In the words of 'Overwatch', this world needs more heroes. This world is worth fighting for!"
"This is what I hope to convey to everyone through Overwatch. Perhaps this world isn't perfect, but we should all work hard to make it better. Every single one of us can become a hero in this world.
"Everyone might have different opinions on Game of the Year, but I've always felt that the best games exist in everyone's hearts. As long as the designer puts his heart into making a game, it's a good game.
"Overwatch is my first game to win Game of the Year, but it definitely won't be my last. In the future, all of Thunderbolt Entertainment's R&D staff would create even more fun games for everyone to enjoy! Thank you! "
Another round of applause and cheers erupted in the venue, lasting for a long time!
Chen Mo's acceptance speech was too good, it was simply impeccable. Overwatch did indeed convey such a concept: the peaceful coexistence of all countries and regions in the world. Although this world was not perfect and heroes faced countless misunderstandings, everyone who tried to make the world a better place was worthy of being called a hero.
