Although Xiao Peng had already explained at the beginning that the so-called 'Great Esports Ecology' was only his personal prediction and did not represent the official position of Tengda Corporation, no one at the scene really took this statement seriously.
Everyone did not expect this to be some kind of official statement.
Most people's mentality was that if Xiao Peng made sense, then they would listen a little. If it did not make sense, then forget it. No one would take such issues seriously.
There were many company executives who talked big. The cell phone industry was a disaster area, and everyone was already used to it.
If they really believed this, their leeks would have been pulled bald.
Of course, Xiao Peng's attitude was still quite serious.
Boss Pei did not really say these words, but Boss Pei's layout in various industries was obviously doing this!
Xiao Peng felt that he was just using some nice words to beautify this matter a little.
"Next, I will briefly explain what 'Great Esports Ecology' is from three aspects.
"If the esports industry is seen as a pyramid, then high-end competitions are its spire; various secondary leagues and esports clubs are its middle; and a complete esports community culture is its bottom.
"If any part is missing, the esports industry will become 'lame'.
"The most important part of this is obviously at the bottom because it is the foundation of the esports industry. It directly provides the esports industry with excellent new players, a large number of spectators and consumers, and related professionals in the esports industry.
"If the esports industry can develop into a huge commercial league similar to football in the future, then the internet cafe is equivalent to a bar where fans gather and a stadium where children train.
"Therefore, Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0 strives to build an esports living museum, absorb the esports talents at the bottom of the entire region, and provide fresh blood for the esports industry. At the same time, it also provides a community for young people who love esports to gather because of their interests, become a social platform, and even a part of life!"
Xiao Peng explained on stage, and the audience nodded.
Obviously, everyone was fooled by Xiao Peng's flowery words.
On the other hand, Pei Qian could not wait to raise his arms and shout, "Don't believe me, I'm fooling you!"
Xiao Peng continued to click on the projection remote control and turned the PowerPoint to the next page.
"Next, I will introduce Fish-Catching Internet Cafe's efforts to welcome the 'Great Esports Ecology'.
"Gamers can try out GOG and IOI's skins for free in all Fish-Catching Internet Cafes. They can also receive discounts on their network fees based on how long they play the game.
"In Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0, we will organize regular GOG competitions and encourage players to play in teams of five. The competition will be broadcasted live at the internet cafe. At the same time, the winning team will have their own training room in the internet cafe. "
"The strongest of all teams will train in the highest position in the internet cafe. This represents the highest level of GOG in this area. It is a great honor!
Xiao Peng raised his hand and pointed to the top five seats in an inverted V shape, causing everyone to click their tongues in wonder.
Obviously, most of them were just imagining the feeling of sitting in that position, and they all felt very good.
However, there seemed to be people who scoffed at this.
Because this idea was a little too optimistic.
Currently, esports was still relatively niche in the country and even the world. Although there were a lot of internet cafes at the moment, there weren't many people who actually watched esports competitions.
What's more, almost all esports competitions were concentrated in super first-tier cities like Shanghai and Beijing. Only a few top players could be known by players.
Did they want esports to become a huge industry like football? Or even enter second and third tier cities and create a perfect esports atmosphere?
It seemed like a fool's dream.
If there weren't enough players to support this so-called "Live Esports Cafe," then every time there was a tournament, no one would come. Then, this beautiful dream would quickly come to an end, and it would degenerate into an ordinary, more expensive internet cafe.
Xiao Peng smiled slightly as if he had expected everyone's reaction.
Fortunately, he had prepared a backup plan in advance!
"I know that most of you have not been to some large-scale competitions and cannot understand the excitement and enjoyment of esports competitions. "Next, I invite everyone to enjoy a battle between the top GOG teams. Let's feel what kind of changes the Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0's Live Esports Museum will bring to our lives!"
Xiao Peng had just finished speaking when the members of the DGE Esports Club went on stage from the side and entered the soundproof room.
Zhang Yuan came to Xiao Peng's side, also holding a microphone. He seemed to be planning to be a guest commentator.
The powerpoint on the big screen had been turned off, and it was changed to a game waiting to start.
Below the stage, whispers could be heard.
"There's actually a program!"
"Where did they find this team?"
"They don't look like experts. They're all a little too handsome."
"Is that why they arranged to play a game of GOG?"
"Ai, did they not mention IOI? It seems like GOG is the only internet cafe competition held here? "
"It doesn't matter. Not many people play IOI now anyway."
At the same time, there was a lot of noise coming from outside.
"Everyone, make way, make way! Set up your seats!"
The folding chairs had arrived.
The audience watching the big screen outside was overjoyed as they took their seats.
In the hall, many people had already turned on their computers and entered GOG to play.
Xiao Peng deliberately chose old GOG players when he sent out the invitations. Otherwise, it would be very messy if there were all kinds of games playing at the same time.
Even if they were playing games, he tried to get everyone to play GOG so that the videos would be more orderly.
However, these people were obviously not that interested in the upcoming GOG competition. They were more willing to play by themselves and see what the legendary RGB lighting effect looked like.
The internet addicts of the DGE Esports Club might have gone through fitness training for a period of time, but that only made their abnormal bodies normal. Their muscles were not obvious after they put on T-shirts and trousers.
They would not be as eye-catching as a group of fitness trainers on stage.
The audience only felt that their healthy bodies did not seem to fit the stereotype of esports experts.
In their impression, esports experts were usually too thin or too fat, and only their fingers were especially flexible.
In short, the people in the internet cafe turned on their computers and started playing. The people outside the internet cafe planned to watch the beginning. If it was not exciting, they would be ready to leave at any time.
As for Pei Qian … he did not know how to describe his current feelings.
This was completely different from the opening ceremony he had imagined!
Shouldn't a normal opening ceremony be about the leaders giving a speech, cutting the ribbon, and then everyone happily eating, drinking, and playing?
Yet, why did Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0's competition come to life?
The two teams on the stage actually started BP in a serious manner according to the ranking competition's format!
No wonder Coach Zhang Yuan and Coach Yaling did not arrange any training tasks for everyone. They were waiting for their energy to play the exhibition competition!
…
The competition soon began on the big screen.
The competition was a best-of-five, which was the same rhythm as the two teams of the DGE Club usually played.
The host computer below the stage quickly flashed with colorful lights. It was very eye-catching.
"Is this a hit?"
"Eh, the flashing lights are different. Interesting!"
"Super godly's light effect seems to last for a long time."
"Damn, it's so cool!"
The players in the hall immediately discovered the wonders of this host computer. It would flash according to the dynamics in the game and emit a special RGB light effect!
In fact, this kind of thing was not difficult to make. The problem was who to show it to.
If it was in their own home, only they could see the host computer even if it shone. It would soon be boring, and the coolness at the beginning would soon become light pollution.
However, it was completely different in the internet cafe!
That was because the environment in the internet cafe was noisy and lively to begin with. What's more, everyone was a GOG player. It was impossible not to attract attention if the host computer lit up in front of everyone.
Even many people who were looking at the entrance felt their hearts itch when they saw the large RGB light show in the internet cafe. They could not wait to go in and find a machine to play with.
The players in the internet cafe felt that this RGB light was simply a buff. They were full of motivation, and the more they played, the more excited they became. They wanted to quickly achieve a single kill or consecutive kill, let their host computer light up, and attract the attention of the people around them.
If there happened to be a beautiful lady sitting next to them … then it would be even more out of control.
Many of these people also came in groups. At first, everyone was still seriously playing games, and no one paid attention to the competition on the big screen. However, that situation soon changed.
"They're already playing tricks on each other at the first level?"
"One look and I can tell he's a professional!"
"The other party is actually prepared and did not fall for it."
"Holy sh * t, look! This Ruan's operation is too awesome. It's amazing! "
"These people have very solid foundations, and their rhythm is very fast. This is definitely not an ordinary team. It looks like they're at least Master players!"
"That's impossible. I'm a Master myself. This is definitely not the standard of a Master player."
Unknowingly, more and more people were discussing the competition.
Many players had been fully focused on the game, but they could not stand the frequent applause and cheers. From time to time, they would look up.
In the end, they were completely mesmerized by the exciting scene. By the time they came back to their senses, their screens had turned black and white, and their teammates were frantically typing question marks on their corpses.
By the end of the first round, nearly 60% of the people in the hall were playing.
By the end of the second round, less than 20% of the people in the hall were playing.
By the time the third round began, no one in the hall was playing. Everyone was drinking their drinks and staring at the big screen nervously. Every time there was an exciting operation, they could not help but cheer.
Only during the gap between the competitions would people open the customization mode, wanting to reproduce the exciting operations that appeared in the competition.
The three cameras recorded the reactions of the live audience. The atmosphere in the entire internet cafe was simply too enthusiastic.
Even the audience outside had gathered more and more!
At first, they heard that Fish-Catching Internet Cafe 3.0 was opening and came to join in the fun. These people were basically sitting on the folding chairs at the entrance of the internet cafe. However, slowly, many other people in the mall were attracted over. They took out their cell phones to silently record while asking what was going on.
The onlookers gradually dispersed, but many players who had played GOG stayed behind. More and more people gathered outside the internet cafe.
Pei Qian sat in the innermost seat of the internet cafe's resting area, quietly took out his cell phone, and opened Qiandu.
"The newly opened internet cafe seems to be popular. How should I stop my losses? I'm waiting online. It's urgent! "
