Create a great era of e-sports

DPC (DOTA PRO CIRCUIT) global professional circuit, a league system designed by Mo Yu based on the previous arrangement of V agency for DOTA2.

The entire competition divides DOTA servers around the world into six major competition areas: Western Europe, CIS, North America, South America, Southeast Asia, and China.

Two levels of leagues, S-level and A-level, are established in the competition area.

There are 8 teams in each level league, and professional clubs in the competition area are invited to participate every year. Each year is divided into three seasons, and each season is divided into auditions, qualifying matches, and main matches.

Participation in the first audition stage of each year will be through audition registration, and the winning team will enter the qualifying competition.

In the qualifying stage, all sixteen teams selected from the auditions will participate together. Finally, all teams will be divided into two levels of leagues based on competition results. The last two teams in the S-level league will automatically fall into the next season. A-League. The top two teams in the A-League will be automatically promoted to the S-League next season. The last two teams in the A-League will be eliminated next season and will be replaced by the top two winning teams in the auditions.

Each season, teams will also receive different points and bonuses based on their rankings.

The points are related to the qualifications for the TI International Invitational Tournament to be organized in the future.

The reason why it is divided into six major competition areas is actually based on the distribution of DOTA players in various countries around the world, as well as the company's statistics on global e-sports club divisions.

Among them, Western Europe, North America, Southeast Asia, and China have the most. Although the CIS and South America have a smaller number, they cannot be underestimated if they are all taken together.

"It's all designed according to your wishes."

Yang Qiu sent a design plan for the "DPC Global Professional Tour". Many aspects of the plan drew on GAG's current competition system. In addition to various schedule arrangements for the DPC league, many competition venues were also set. The rules, such as penalties, prohibited matters, transfer systems, etc., are very detailed.

"Bring it to me."

Mo Yu reached for the document and flipped through it carefully. He found that the plan in the document was basically the same as what he explained, and he was instantly satisfied.

"Yes, according to the DPC competition plan, there is no need for top league seat fees, and any team with an idea can participate."

"Yes." Yang Qiu nodded, and then asked doubtfully: "Mr. Mo, why do you want to cancel promotion and relegation in GAG, but arrange promotion and relegation in DOTA?"

GAG's GPL and GSPL are not connected. No matter how well you play in GSPL, you cannot get a GPL seat. You can only enter the GPL by participating in the seat auction organized by Moyu Company or by purchasing a GPL team seat.

DOTA is different.

Any team can compete all the way from the auditions. As long as the skills are strong enough and the strength is strong enough, they can go from an unknown team to an A-level team, S-level team, and even participate in the final global championship within one season. Contest.

This is the optimal solution for clubs, players and players at every level. What everyone wants to see most is an endless stream of fresh blood and new faces every year.

But it is not so friendly to the organizers and sponsors. A large amount of seat fees are missing, and the top league is too fluid. Sponsors do not dare to advertise rashly, fearing that the top teams this season will not be able to compete next season. If you can't even make it to the A-League, that would be a huge loss.

"Actually, I have also considered it." Mo Yu turned around and sat down: "DOTA is different from GAG. GAG has grown into a giant, but DOTA has just started. At this stage, it is better to relax restrictions and attract more people to join. We can consider it later. Additional seat fees will be charged to secure the seats of top league teams.”

"But even in the later stages, I don't plan to cancel promotion and relegation."

"Why?" Yang Qiu was puzzled: "Didn't you say that e-sports competitions are not as permanent as traditional sports? The lifespan is linked to the lifespan of the game itself, so commercialization is a better choice?"

Mo Yu shook his head: "That's right, but I want to make some changes."

"GAG has been playing for three years since the Internet cafe competition. Originally, I thought that anyone would have a chance to break into the S competition, so I also specially arranged three major cup competitions outside of the league, just to give the most bottom teams a chance to compete. A chance to prove you’re at the top.”

"But now that three years have passed, I don't see any low-level teams being able to compete. Professional clubs have more resources and have already occupied all the qualifications for the S competition."

"So I want to do something different in DOTA events."

"Now that the company is not short of money, I want to be a more ideal person."

Mo Yu’s original intention of making games was mainly for e-sports in addition to the original factors. Now that he has made enough money, in DOTA, he wants to be more like a player rather than a game company. boss.

It can also be said that he wants to become more pure.

It’s no longer about money, but about thinking from the player’s perspective.

Since I am a player, of course I want to see a steady stream of new blood appearing instead of always seeing the same old faces.

Moreover, even if promotion and relegation are not cancelled, DOTA events will at most make less money, but they will not stop making money.

The games themselves are there, the events are there, and there will never be a shortage of advertisers.

Moreover, in order to maintain the strength of the team and retain advertisers, those top clubs that are really ambitious will still increase their investment and discover new players. To a certain extent, they also save a huge amount of seat fees.

In this case, why not do it?

"All right."

Yang Qiu nodded and said nothing.

The boss has already spoken, so what else is there to say?

"Then the news about the DPC Tour will be announced? Now that the Ladder Invitational Tournament has just ended and the popularity has not faded away, I think now is the best time." Yang Qiu said: "The attention is just high enough. As soon as the news is released, we will immediately It can take over the heat and make the event popular before it even starts.”

"Can."

Mo Yu had already had this intention, and after hearing the words, he agreed: "First send the plan to other branches of the company, let them notify it, and invite clubs in the competition area to participate. When there are more than 96 teams interested in participating, we will directly make an announcement and start the audition. "

There are six major divisions and two leagues, with 8 teams in each league, for a total of 96 teams.

If we can't get it all together, we will definitely have to reduce the number, so we have to wait for the number of people to be confirmed.

The game of fishing has gone far beyond its original branches.

The company has grouped together many countries around the world into multiple regions, such as East Asia, Central Asia, Western Europe, North America, etc.

There are many branches under each region.

The original four people, Li Jiahui, Zhang Hengbo, Su Shangqi, and Jiang Zhi, have been promoted from branch managers to regional managers. The original branches have also been re-employed locally or transferred from the headquarters.

"Okay, I'll make the arrangements." Yang Qiu immediately accepted the order, but did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he asked: "Where is the news about TI and Major? Send it together?" (End of Chapter)
