Global Monopoly of Technology

The latest website: As the wNv club led the team into the field, the second club also appeared after a distance of almost 30 meters, which was Fnatic from Europe. Brief overview of history and achievements.

When the third club appeared, the cheers in the venue were significantly higher than before.

This club is obviously WE. It has five competitions, among which Warcraft, Interstellar, and CS are firmly in the top three, and the Warcraft project is the undisputed representative project of WE.

But it is very regrettable that Sky, who is known as the "Human Emperor" of Warcraft and one of the founders of the WE club, suffered a tragic defeat in this year's WRPO division. At the same time, the WCG held at the 2008 Cologne Station in Germany this summer also failed. He went on the expedition and finally ranked fifth in the WRPO standings in the Huaguo Division, missing the first WRPO world number one player competition.

When he lost the game in the division, he burst into tears several times.

This is also a big regret of Sky himself and countless fans. Many people feel that the first WRPO World of Warcraft event, the WCG double-crowned emperor Sky was not able to appear. What, that's the cruelty of esports, and esports doesn't believe in tears.

It is worth mentioning that the top three players in the WRPO standings of the Warcraft project in the Huaguo Division are young new faces, namely Like, Sai and Infi.

Grubby, the champion of the WCG World of Warcraft project this summer, directly recommended the top sixteen of WRPO. The gold content of WCG's championship is recognized by WRPO, and winning the championship can directly advance to the top sixteen to compete for the WRPO trophy.

The next four consecutive teams are from South Korea, namely KT Club, SKT Club and CJ Club.

The competition in the Korean sub-division can be said to be the most tragic in the competition area, and the Interstellar project is the most among them. You must know that the Interstellar SPL team league in South Korea includes 12 giant clubs. In order to get a WRPO Tickets, blood is almost out.

The competition project of the Korean club is undoubtedly the interstellar project. In addition to the top three players in the Korean sub-division, there are 7 other players who have chosen to be selected for the top 16 of the first WRPO competition. Traded to join clubs in other divisions, and reached the top 16 of WRPO as players from other divisions.

That is to say, ten Star players in the top sixteen are Koreans.

They are: , Bisu, JaedBi, BeSt, sea, , F, Luxury

Among them, the top four players in the standings are called "Ze Bing Li Shuang" by players in the domestic interstellar circle.

They are Bisu Jin Zelong, Stork Song Binggu, Li Yonghao, Jaedong Li Jidong.

In the interstellar e-sports circle, these four professional players are the most dazzling existences nowadays, and their existence eclipses other players.

The most terrifying thing is that he is only 16 years old this year, and what is even more exaggerated is that he made his debut last year. This year, he swept the star player Stork Song Binggu and won the championship. He became the first OSL champion with high gold content and became the youngest OSL champion.

In the first WRPO interstellar event, "Ze Bing Li Shuang" was the favorite to win the championship.

There are 12 events, a total of 43 e-sports clubs, and each club must operate at least two events.

Finally, it was the finale's turn to play.

It was the "BTG Club" run by the e-sports division of Bluestar Technology Group. When the "BTG" flag fluttered and entered the stadium, the atmosphere of the audience immediately entered a new high.

This club is hailed as the "pro-son" of WRPO by the e-sports circle. Although the club was only established last year, it was also questioned by the circle that WRPO would be both a player and a referee when he returned to China.

The best way to respond to doubts is the results of this year's competition. The "BTG Club" was born with a special mission. It is the blood-making factory of the e-sports ecosystem. It trains a talented player and then kicks it out. Other e-sports clubs are not. Might go for such a mission, because it's a money-losing business.

But there is no doubt that the BTG club does not talk about the strength of the players in the team, but its reputation is not weaker than the first-tier Korean e-sports clubs that have existed for ten years, such as KT, SKT, Samsung, and CJ.

It's the giant of the giants.

However, the mission of the BTG club is different from that of other clubs. BTG has positioned itself as the "Huangpu Military Academy" in the e-sports circle, so not one of the famous star players and champion players signed, but the new generation. Talented player.

Of course, the BTG club also wants to honor itself. The best expectation is that the newly trained players will win a championship under the BTG club, and then they will not sign again next year and sell the players to other clubs.

For example, this time, when the BTG club was established, players in the e-sports circle thought that BTG would set up a bank battleship, and they all thought that Sky would be bought by BTG, which was not bad.

As a result, to everyone's surprise, the BTG club does not have a well-known player.

The current BTG club operates six competitions, among which is the Warcraft team. This e-sports project has four players, including two young new faces, Like and Infi, who entered the top sixteen of the WRPO Warcraft project this year. The second is the Interstellar project and the CS project.

Time passed by, and as the BTG club circled around the arena, it also entered the designated area of ​​the big stage, and each club had an area.

At this moment, the battle flag was flying, the background music just reached the high stage, and the pictures in the six super-large screens in the midfield area flashed by the DJ girl Hatsune Miku, and turned into an animated version of the scene. , and with the scene's pattern surprisingly mirrored.

Accompanied by the sound of music and the cheers and shouts of the scene, the long-prepared fireworks ceremony was broadcast as scheduled, and the splendid pictures were presented in the night sky, pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a new high.

All the e-sports players who participated in the entrance ceremony were not at peace in their hearts. This was the highlight moment and attracted much attention.

Especially the domestic e-sports players, at this moment, they deeply experienced a sense of ritual and honor, and silently said to themselves that they are an e-sports athlete.

This opening ceremony is more high-end than any traditional sporting event.

The audience at the scene was just as excited as the audience in front of the video, and their hearts were just as restless.

"Slip over, there are absolutely no surprises, awesome EB, Wo Yan."

"Exceeded expectations too much, it's worth the fare!"

"I don't know why, but this scene is inexplicably enthusiastic. Maybe the rendering of the music and the atmosphere of the scene are too good, just like watching a hot-blooded comic."

"Yes, it's a great feeling."

"As for the activities of the big scene, the atmosphere of the big scene depends on the operation of my Chinese people."

"Must be, this is directed by Laomouzi, and the Olympic Games have already witnessed his skill."

"Before this, I couldn't believe it. E-sports competitions can also achieve such a grand event?"

"I originally thought it was just playing a house, but I didn't expect it to be so beautiful..."

"Just kidding, Bluestar Technology's ultimate boss is all fake, how could it be playing a house?"

"Cheat (broken sound)!!!"

"I thought WRPO events would be good as long as they were not weaker than WCG, but I didn't expect it to be a big mistake."

"Just looking at today's opening ceremony, WRPO will not have any suspense as the world's largest e-sports event."

"As an e-sports fan, I'm really happy to be able to witness this moment. Bluestar Technology's 'Family Bucket' is not enough. I can't support it. I bought a blue mobile phone by the way. My wallet is really annoying. take it away..."

...

Countless domestic e-sports people want to shout to the sky at this moment, this is a carnival feast in the e-sports circle!

There is no harm without comparison. Before Bluestar Technology reshapes the entire e-sports industry, this is a road with little hope for those who are engaged in the e-sports industry in China.

But all this has undergone earth-shaking changes between the battles due to the entry of Bluestar Technology.

The current e-sports carnival moment is the highest expectation in the minds of countless e-sports players. It used to be only a fantasy, but now it has become a reality.

Time passed, and the enthusiastic admission ceremony was over, and clubs returned to the backstage one after another.

At the same time, around 19:10, the lights in the middle of the stadium's stage went out for a while. When it came on again, the rock band Linkin Park had appeared on the stage, and the accompaniment of music spread throughout the audience. .

At this moment, the song sung by Linkin Park is called "Numb", which is one of the representative works of this rock band and one of the most famous English songs in China.

At the last part of the opening ceremony, the audience was pleasantly surprised. They didn't expect Linkin Park to sing on stage again, and it was a three-stringed performance.

Well, the rhythm of buying e-sports tickets and sending them to the concert is proper.

Linkin Park's last single was "In The End", the literal translation of the name means "last, finally".

At around 19:35, the opening ceremony of the first WRPO World No. 1 Player Championship in 2008 ended in 95 minutes. There was no urine point in the whole process, and everyone was still unsatisfied.

It ended successfully with Linkin Park singing "In The End".

By the early hours of the morning, key words such as WRPO and Linkin Park were on Weibo, Yunge Search and other hot searches, and the major online forums, especially the player circle, were hotly discussing.

Sports-related media and entertainment media, including several mainstream media, are reporting on this carnival in the field of e-sports.

Luo Sheng once again justified the name of the e-sports platform, which also triggered a big discussion in the society.

When the European and American media made relevant comments, most of them were positive, and once again praised Luo Sheng's ability to catch young people.

E-sports has also gained greater exposure and publicity as a result.

After the opening ceremony, the game officially started on the second day. The rules of the three major e-sports events are basically the same, but the BO is slightly different for different events.

The sixteenth round will be divided into four groups A, B, C and D to draw lots for the qualifying rounds.

The sixteen-to-eight competition was held on the sub-stage, because the top sixteen also had rookies pecking at each other. The strength of the major divisions has not been balanced so far, especially in the interstellar project. The players in the Korean division are basically able to compete. Hanging non-Korean players from other regions.

But after entering the quarter-finals, no one is weak, and the weak are not weak.

Therefore, the quarter-finals will start with the main stage, the eight-in-four playoffs will be completed on Saturday, and the semi-finals and finals will start on the weekend.

Saturdays and weekends are also off days, and the audience is the largest.

The time is also clearly arranged.

Luo Sheng has been in Shencheng for the past few days, and he will not leave until all the games are over. When the three mainstream e-sports events of Starcraft, Warcraft and CS compete for the championship, he will show up again to come to the scene for the championship. The first champion was awarded a certificate of honor.

This is the first event of WRPO, which is of extraordinary significance. In the future, Luo Sheng will basically not be present, and other executives will just go.

...

Friday, day two of the WRPO event.

The round of 16 is currently underway, and Luo Sheng appeared in the conference room of the WRPO event operation department this afternoon.

"Mr. Luo, this is the e-sports development plan we have formulated in the next five years or so." Wang Qiwei, who was sitting in the conference room, handed a document in his hand to Luo Sheng in the chief position.

When he handed over the materials, Luo Sheng stopped and said, "I won't read the plan carefully, you can tell me in general."

Wang Qiwei put the materials back on his side, nodded, reorganized and said, "We have already started planning for the second WRPO event next year, and we have decided to adopt the urban bidding plan."

The popularity of e-sports is undoubtedly beyond the industry's expectations, especially the first WRPO event currently being held, its grand occasion is far more than one grade of WCG. Of course, the massive investment of Bluestar Technology and the efforts of the organizers of the event are also Undoubtedly.

But more and more data are showing the potential of e-sports, a brand-new industry, and its future is very imaginative. A typical example is Cherry, the only manufacturer of mechanical keyboards in Germany.

Beginning in 2008, or pushing a little bit forward, from the very beginning of the WRPO event brand, Cherry has ushered in the opportunity to regenerate, and eSports has almost saved the mechanical keyboard business.

E-sports has driven players' enthusiasm for mechanical keyboard consumption, which has made Cherry's mechanical keyboard sales soar this year.

This also makes the manufacturers who have long given up the mechanical keyboard business unable to sit still. Now they are holding meetings to discuss the issue of re-entering this field, but Cherry, which has always insisted on and even once became the only seedling, has undoubtedly become the leader of the mechanical keyboard business.

The emergence and continued growth and prosperity of eSports has given mechanical keyboards a chance to be reborn.

The growth of Cherry's business also indirectly shows the potential of the e-sports industry, and there are more other data that show that the growth rate of the e-sports industry is very exaggerated.

Wang Qiwei went on to say: "The host city for the second WRPO event in 2009 has been finalized, and it will be held in Seattle in the North American Division. The end of this event will be announced to the public, and the third event in 2010 is also in the bidding, no surprise. In Cologne, Germany and Seoul, South Korea.”

Luo Sheng nodded.

Wang Qiwei added: "Another more important work is the future vision of the WRPO alliance. We are studying the scheme of binding clubs and cities under the WRPO competition alliance system. The vision of the operation department is that the whole plate will become bigger in the future. Each club should have its own main e-sports stadium, and each club should have its own home stadium in a certain city.”

Luo Sheng was quite surprised. It seems that the WRPO Organizing Committee and the Operation Department are doing a good job. The thinking is so advanced, the key is to have the right plan.

Wang Qiwei didn't know what he was thinking, and immediately smiled: "Of course, Mr. Luo, this is just our internal imagination, and there is definitely no basis to do so now, aside from foreign e-sports clubs, especially Korean clubs, our mainland's E-sports started late and was very bumpy, and now the club that can get it is BTG, and other clubs have limited financial resources, which is impossible."

Compared with more than a year ago, the domestic e-sports circle environment has undergone earth-shaking changes, but it has also moved from chaos to order. In fact, the overall investment scale of e-sports clubs is still very limited. No comparison, especially with Korea.

Bluestar Technology has helped a lot of domestic clubs to get sponsorships behind the scenes. In fact, most of them still secretly pay for the bills, but Bluestar Technology's money is not coming from the wind. is unhealthy.

At present, there are 17 e-sports clubs in China that have entered the WRPO alliance system, including BTG, all of which have been approved by the organizing committee. There are as many as cattle hair, and the names are also various.

"Well, this plan is very imaginative. The market size will increase in the future. If the market allows this, you can try it out. If it works, then it will be fully promoted." Luo Sheng said simply and clearly. As soon as it came out, it gave the operation department and others great confidence, but a simple sentence was the ultimate big BOSS's recognition of their work.

I'm afraid the boss will not be satisfied.

Luo Sheng didn't stay in the WRPO operation department for too long. After the meeting, he left. He didn't watch the game, but returned to the hotel to rest.

Just look at international information, what's happening in the industry, some news about the company, and then send someone to arrange some girls and sisters to play.

Although he is regarded as the number one player in the hearts of many e-sports people, he really does not like playing video games very much.

Still having fun, Mrs.

This time Qin Weimu and Irene were not around. Of course, Luo Sheng turned into a wild horse that ran away without any scruples.

...

(There should be another chapter at 11 o'clock tonight, and the e-sports pit can be filled.)
