"Zou Tao, not bad, 1v2."
Huanyu Technologies Gaming Department, Chen Yu smiled as he looked at Zou Tao.
Huanyu Technologies' most profitable business was still online gaming.
Input methods, browsers, 360 security guards … and a series of other businesses currently required transfusions from online games.
Therefore, after giving Zhou Hongyi a call, Chen Yu came to the gaming department to check on the situation.
"Boss Chen, you're here?"
Hearing Chen Yu's voice, Zou Tao was a little embarrassed and took off his headset, "Hehe, I've been hooked on Dota recently."
Yes.
That's right.
After continuous development by Huanyu Technologies, Dota was officially launched.
"How's Dota now?"
"It's performing very well, there are many hardcore fans. However, the growth of Dota's registered users is a little slow. However, as long as a player enters the game, they will quickly become a loyal user. "
"Mm."
Chen Yu nodded.
Dota was different from traditional online games, it was slightly difficult to get started.
It would indeed be slower in the initial stage of promotion.
However, it didn't matter.
Dota couldn't become popular all over the world as soon as it was launched. It had a process of accumulation.
"However, there's an opportunity now. Our Dota has been included in the WCG competition."
“wcg。”
WCG was an international e-sports competition.
Founded by Samsung in 2000, it was the world's largest e-sports festival.
The initial competitions were Mjolnir, FIFA, Age of Empires, StarCraft, Half-life, and Unreal Arena.
In 2003, Warcraft 3, Halo, and Huanyu Technologies' Dota were added.
"When will WCG start?"
"Next month."
"How's our preparation going?"
"Currently, we have more than a dozen teams in China holding a WCG qualifier. The top two teams will represent China to Korea to participate in the WCG finals."
"More than a dozen teams, are they all self-organized?"
"No, they're all professional teams."
Zou Tao said excitedly, "There are many companies in the country that are interested in professional teams. They have invested some money and supported many teams. And from the looks of it, there will be even more professional teams in the future, surpassing the Bubble Hall and the trend of racing karts. "
"This is a good sign."
Chen Yu also nodded.
In terms of competition, Dota was undoubtedly much better than Soaker, Karting, and Karting.
Furthermore, even though there were competitions in Soaking Hall and Kartrider, they were more for leisure and entertainment.
Dota, on the other hand, brought the competitive nature of the game to a very high level.
He believed that with the development of dota, his popularity would surpass Warcraft in the future.
"Our 5173, the gaming section of the portal website, do more reports on these teams."
Chen Yu ordered.
But after thinking for a while, he said, "Other than that, you should also organize more activities for Zou Tao. After all, it's a professional team. If it continues to be a hobby and the companies only invest money without any results, they will eventually withdraw. "
Zou Tao also considered this and said, "The biggest problem now is the lack of exposure. It's not enough to rely on the website exposure. Also, we haven't found a profit model for the professional teams. Currently, we can only rely on fame and cooperation with some large internet cafes. The model is a bit monotonous. "
"Have you considered cooperating with the TV stations?"
"We have, but the TV stations are very hesitant."
Even though E-Sports was a competition, it was still a game.
And it was still a video game.
As the mainstream media, the major TV stations were very cautious about games.
Even the previous Soaking Hall Competition was conducted in the form of a competition event.
But if it was purely a game show, it would be very troublesome.
"It's normal to hesitate. However, we can invite them to the WCG competition this time. Oh right, where is their competition? "
"It's at the Shencheng League Network."
"Let's go, take me there."
"Okay."
Zou Tao drove and brought Chen Yu all the way to an internet café called the League Network in Shencheng.
The League Network was the largest internet café in Shencheng. There were more than 1,000 computers in total.
The internet café not only allowed customers to surf the internet, but also provided drinks, refreshments, snacks, and other services.
They even introduced a beautiful woman accompanying service. It only cost 20 yuan per hour to invite a beautiful woman to sit beside you and play games with you. It was said that this service was very popular.
However, the most popular thing in the League Network was not the beautiful woman accompanying them, but the dota competition.
After a few days of competition, the top two dota players in the country were about to be decided.
The winner would represent the country in the WCG finals.
"Boss Chen, let me introduce you. This is icefrog, Chinese name Ice Frog. He's one of the people in charge of the dota map."
Once they arrived at the venue, Zou Tao introduced him to Chen Yu.
Icefrog was an American dota player.
When Huanyu Technologies released the new dota map, icefrog gave a lot of suggestions.
Zou Tao felt that this player was very talented, so he invited icefrog to China.
Since then, icefrog became one of the people in charge of the dota map.
In this competition, icefrog represented Huanyu Technologies' gaming department and would give the winner an award.
"Hello, icefrog."
Chen Yu shook icefrog's hand.
Chen Yu had admired icefrog for a long time.
There were many settings in his dota map that he inherited from icefrog.
Yes.
Icefrog was the wind vane of dota in his previous life.
It could be said that dota wouldn't exist without icefrog, but without icefrog, dota wouldn't be as popular as it was in his previous life.
However, he did not expect icefrog to join Huanyu Technologies in this life.
"It looks very lively."
"Currently, Team WE and Team GL are fighting for the championship."
The League Internet Cafe was very big, and there were tens of square meters of space in the middle for the two teams to compete.
There were also a few projector screens in the Internet Cafe.
At this moment, there were countless people around.
They were shouting the names of the teams that they supported.
"We will win!"
"GL will win!"
"Li Xiaofeng, go for it!"
"Li Xiaofeng is the best!"
Listening to the voices, Chen Yu saw a hero in the esports circle.
Li Xiaofeng.
The number one esports player in his previous life was playing dota.
Speaking of which, wasn't he playing World of Warcraft?
However, this seemed to be a good sign.
Compared to World of Warcraft, wasn't dota more attractive?
It was acceptable for history to change a little.
"That Li Xiaofeng is very famous in dota. His videos often have hundreds of thousands of downloads."
Zou Tao introduced him to Chen Yu. "Many netizens are wary of Li Xiaofeng's playstyle. Li Xiaofeng usually uses one of the most popular heroes."
"He's really good."
Staring at the big screen in front of him, Chen Yu kept nodding.
Although dota had not been out for long, Li Xiaofeng's gaming talent was amazing.
This talent was not only reflected in Li Xiaofeng's amazing hand speed, but also his abnormal calmness.
Just like this match.
Li Xiaofeng's Team WE was clearly at a disadvantage, but Li Xiaofeng was not worried at all. He continued to develop and withstand the pressure from the opponent. In the end, he had complete control of the situation. Although the match was not over yet, it could be said that Team WE had won.
If YY's livestream could be smoother, Li Xiaofeng would definitely become a star esports player.
However, Chen Yu was not in a hurry.
Sooner or later, the speed of the internet would continue to increase. In a few years, gaming livestreams would become a major attraction in the internet industry.
At that time, the real professional league would be formed.
