Create a great era of e-sports

The 15 seconds before and after the start of the CC news column are recognized as prime advertising spots.

Every year, many companies spend huge sums of money on bidding, especially wine companies, which often spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions, and the sales growth they bring is also extremely gratifying.

There was once a small local wine company that spent hundreds of millions to acquire that prime advertising space. In less than half a year, it made back all the money spent, and even more!

Yan Kaixian judged that with the current popularity of e-sports and the current number of users of Gods and Gods, it is absolutely no problem for the number of viewers of the S game to reach one million.

On this basis, the event itself’s high prize money and topical aspects such as international competition will also be widely reported and publicized by various media.

The number of viewers for the final S game will definitely be far more than one million!

That's why he felt that Mo Yu could definitely sell an advertising space for 10 million!

Mo Yu smiled and said: Those are still things that have no shadow. Although the estimates are very optimistic, we still have to wait until the news of the S competition is released to know the outside reaction. It may be that not a single advertising space can be sold. Woolen cloth?

Businessmen are not that stupid, especially big businessmen, and their vision is extremely accurate. Yan Kaixian shook his head: Someone will definitely come to your door when the time comes. However, I found a problem. You have allocated bonuses down to each ranking. , but looking at the few competitions you have held now, it seems difficult to accurately determine the team’s ranking.”

Yes. Mo Yu nodded and said: The previous games used a single-elimination knockout system. If the team loses, it will fail directly and have no chance of advancement. However, this competition system is not safe for this S competition. , so I plan to use a double-elimination tournament system.

Double defeat? Single defeat?

Yan Kaixian didn't know much about this, so he looked at Mo Yu, waiting for him to explain.

Mo Yu explained: The double-elimination knockout system means that a team needs to fail twice before it is considered a final failure. In terms that are more familiar to the public, it is the loser's bracket and winner's bracket games that we hear every day. ”

“When a team loses, it will not be eliminated. Instead, it will be moved to the loser’s bracket and play against other teams in the loser’s bracket again. After winning, it will remain in the loser’s bracket and continue to play against other teams. The duel will last until the end, when the first place in the winning group and the first place in the losing group will compete in the finals to determine the final champion!

The advantage of this format is that when a team loses due to external factors or its own situation, it still has a chance to come back!

After all, this is the first S competition, and Mo Yu wants to explore who is better and who is worse between the two competition systems in this world's e-sports system.

The previous LOL World Championship adopted a single-elimination system, while DOTA's TI adopted a double-elimination system.

Mo Yu plans to use a double-elimination system first to see how the situation is, and then wait for the next S game to change.

Understood. Yan Kai nodded first and said: But this seems unfair to the team that has been winning continuously. The loser group has two chances, and the team that has been winning continuously will definitely be in the finals in the end, but it will not fall into defeat again. It’s a chance for the team to win.”

Actually, they are all the same. Mo Yu shook his head and said: The risks taken by each team are the same. Who can guarantee that they will be able to win continuously? The biggest advantage of the double-elimination event is that it gives them a chance to resurrect their state.

And the winner's bracket champion also has the advantage of waiting for work, how can you say it's unfair?

The same goes for the loser bracket. After so many bloody battles, will you become more courageous as you fight and win the championship with an invincible momentum, or will you be exhausted and collapse in the end? It can be said that the loser bracket is more cruel!

Yes. Yan Kaixian agreed: On the field, the outcome is unpredictable, and no one can be sure that he will be undefeated in a hundred battles!

That's the truth.

Mo Yu nodded slightly.

In a single-elimination system, if one team loses, it's over. Maybe a strong team loses to a weak team due to illness or other factors, causing a big upset.

The double-elimination format gives this strong team a chance to get revenge all over again.

If you still can't beat it, you can only say that this team is a pseudo-strong team!

It seems that you have thought carefully about all aspects of this S competition. The competition format and prize money have all been taken into consideration. But I don't know the location of the competition. Have you decided on it? Such a large-scale event cannot be placed in just one place. Will it be held in the city?”

Yan Kai spoke slowly first, stared at Mo Yu, and couldn't help but ask.

The scale of the S competition is too great. He will definitely not want to give up and must fight for Jingzhou.

Several e-sports competitions have brought huge benefits to Jingzhou, not only financially, but most importantly in terms of fame and reputation.

E-sports competitions bring not only people to watch the games to Jingzhou, but also more and more people from outside the city who come to Jingzhou to work and play. The arrival of these people promotes the overall prosperity and development of the entire city.

Although he also knew that with the current situation in Jingzhou, there was a high probability that a game would be arranged, but he still wanted to get a more definite answer from Mo Yu.

Are you asking about Jingzhou?

Mo Yu laughed and said it bluntly.

That's right. Yan Kaixian admitted generously after seeing this: Jingzhou is definitely the city with the strongest e-sports atmosphere in the world. In other words, it is also the best venue for the S competition. I want to hear what you mean.

Jingzhou is also of great significance to me! Mo Yu said with emotion: Not only is it my hometown, it is also the starting point for entrepreneurship and the starting point for the development of e-sports. This city is of great significance to me!

And you and other officials have given me great support, how could I not reciprocate?

So? Yan Kaixian asked expectantly.

Mo Yu smiled slightly: How about the finals? I plan to arrange the S competition finals in Jingzhou!

good!

Yan Kai heard the words first and immediately became energetic.

The finals will definitely be the most watched game in the entire S competition.

Based on the information revealed by Mo Yu, he was sure that in addition to the massive audiences and tourists from all over the world, there would also be media from all walks of life at home and abroad. The media companies behind those people were all extraordinary people.

As long as Jingzhou can leave a good impression on them and mention one or two good words about Jingzhou in reports, such as the good business environment of the city, enthusiastic citizens, clean and tidy environment, etc., it will definitely give Jingzhou a good reputation on the international stage. Leaving a good name will be of great benefit to the entire city!

Sure enough, I was right about you, kid!

Yan Kaixian laughed loudly, patted Mo Yu on the shoulder and said: Don't worry, there will never be anything bad in Jingzhou in this competition. We promise to cooperate fully and never hold back!

Thank you very much! Mo Yu smiled.

Thank you for what? Yan Kaixian waved his hand: We are all in the same boat. We are both prosperous and destructive. We are inseparable! Since you have given Jingzhou a chance, how can Jingzhou let you suffer?

Well, when you go to another city to choose a location, if you have any questions, just call back and I can help you mediate. How about that?
