Chapter 359: Why hold offline competitions? Isn’t online competition better?
The release of promotional CG for the virtual sports meeting.
It was like a blockbuster bomb that exploded in the murky waters of the gaming community.
Not only major manufacturers, but also players are excited.
"What's this!?"
"Is this the competition venue mentioned before the Great Desolation?"
“The venue was actually created through a virtual terminal!”
"This ratio is comparable to that of the Olympic venue!"
"Does that mean we can go inside and watch the game then?"
"Isn't this too cool?"
When they heard about the Honghuang Virtual Competition project before, they were skeptical and thought it was exaggerated.
After all, even those games with very powerful servers can only support tens of thousands of people on the same screen at most, and they have all been extremely optimized.
But looking at the picture shown in the promotional CG of Honghuang, it is definitely more than just ten thousand. It is comparable to the largest competition venue in the world.
No!
Maybe even bigger!
The most important thing is.
Honghuang was made so quickly!
Even just by looking at the CG, they can imagine what an unprecedented grand occasion it will be on the day when the "Pokémon" regional competition begins.
"I miscalculated. I didn't expect Hong Huang to be so ambitious!"
"With such a large venue and a central screen, the publicity effect is far more than that of tens of millions of viewers."
"Quick, contact Honghuang immediately to see if there are any remaining advertising spots!"
regret.
I regret it very much.
Those companies that did not approach Honghuang to discuss advertising and joining because they thought the price was too high now want to slap themselves in the face.
Without caring about his face, he immediately asked someone to contact Honghuang to request an advertising space.
As for those company executives who had made up their minds to secure the contracts early on, they were grinning from ear to ear.
"Honghuang really gave us a huge surprise this time."
"Fortunately, I was decisive enough and got an advertising spot right away."
Station B headquarters.
Su Peng was so proud at this moment.
He walked with his head held high and his chest puffed out, and with a hint of wind.
Even his competitors in the company who disliked him had to admit that he had a strong judgment on business opportunities. No wonder he was valued so much by the board of directors.
Su Peng just came back from a meeting.
I also received calls from other companies.
"Manager Su, how are you? Do you have any plans to transfer the promotion of the competition? We can offer a high price."
"Haha, Mr. Wang, you are joking. We have been cooperating with Honghuang for so many years, and we can't do such a breach of contract. Moreover, we have already handed over the advertising information to Honghuang and cannot change it."
"Is that so...Okay then, if Manager Su plans to withdraw, remember to contact me as soon as possible."
"must."
Just said a few words.
Su Peng hung up the phone, curled his lips and threw it aside.
When Honghuang publicly offered the price before, you all complained it was too expensive.
Now that I realize there are no vacancies, I want to buy from those who have already made the arrangements. What a nice thought.
Sometimes business opportunities are just like that, fleeting.
But it won’t wait for you to react slowly and figure out whether you’ve made a profit or a loss.
"Manager Su, the director wants you to come over. He said he has something important to discuss with you."
At this time, an operator stood up and shouted.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
Su Peng said this as he left his seat and hurried to the director's office.
at the same time.
The phone of Anmeng Company, which had previously negotiated an advertising partnership with Honghuang, was almost blown away by calls.
Countless companies contacted them, wanting to discuss franchisee replacement with them, and some even offered three times the price!
"Three times! Are we really going to refuse this opportunity to make money for free?"
A group of senior executives sat in the conference room, swallowing their saliva violently.
They only need to transfer the franchise quota in their hands and pay a certain amount of liquidated damages, and they can obtain at least 50 million in funds, which is almost equal to their half a year's revenue!
Where can you find such a business that is sure to make a profit?
But at the same time.
They were even more shocked by the existence of Honghuang.
A single big move can cause severe turmoil in the domestic industry. Is this the strength of the Fortune 500 companies?
I'm afraid it's not much worse than penguins.
Even scarier than penguins in some areas!
"You don't understand. Since they are willing to pay such a high price, it means that the business opportunities contained there are more than three times."
The boss sitting in the first seat had a much more resolute attitude this time.
Teach a man to fish and give him fish.
He still knew how to choose.
Compared with the short-term benefits of tens of millions, he values the long-term benefits that Honghuang's action will bring to them, which may not be measured by tens of millions.
Pass it on.
Either stupid or foolish.
So he, like other companies, turned down the calls.
Even though there are several companies that are several times larger than them.
In short.
The release of the promotional CG of Honghuang.
It not only sparked heated discussions among players, but also caused turmoil in the industry.
Even many netizens who don’t play games have started paying attention to this grand event.
This craze lasted for two months.
The first Honghuang Virtual Competition has finally arrived.
…
"Hurry up, the regional competition is about to begin!"
"Stop playing, go watch the game first!"
“I heard that the platform’s homepage has updated the entrance to the stadium.”
"Wait a minute, I'll be through this level soon!"
It was 11:30 that evening.
A large number of players on the Honghuang platform quit the games they were playing and went to the platform's homepage.
Just one glance.
You will see the newly updated channel entrance on the homepage.
【Virtual Sports Games Venue】
The entrance is huge and takes up almost the entire front page.
Anyone who logs into the Honghuang platform will see it first.
Even the players in the "Pokemon" game had a teleportation option pop up in front of them, which allowed them to teleport directly to the playing field, making countless players who were fighting excited.
“Is it finally starting?”
“I can’t wait!”
As they were talking, many people chose to teleport directly, or entered through the entrance on the homepage.
"Come on, let's go in too."
“I’m so nervous. I don’t know what the competition venue will be like.”
Ouyang Xiao and the other three who had been waiting there early were very nervous at this time.
Because they have all signed up for regional competitions, they will use the Pokémon they have worked hard to cultivate to compete against trainers from all over the world.
Although I have seen promotional images of the virtual stadium before, I have never actually been there, so I don’t know the specific details.
What’s more, it’s such a large-scale competition.
It would be very embarrassing if I didn't perform well .
"Forget it, the worst that can happen is we'll be eliminated in the qualifying round!"
Mustering up his courage, Ouyang Xiao, who had just restored his pet's status at the Pokémon Center, directly pressed the transmission button.
Seeing this, Xun'er, Xiaoqian and Yaya also chose to teleport and disappeared in the square of Hualan City.
Swish!
The light comes on.
They were forced to put their hands in front of their eyes.
When they stood still again and opened their eyes with anticipation, they were instantly stunned by the torrent-like scene before them.
people!
Countless people!
At this time, they had already arrived at a super-large sports venue.
Looking around, all the seats on all sides were filled with players who had just teleported in, forming a black mass.
On the large screens in the center facing four directions, advertisements and welcome speeches were being played, and the sound echoed throughout the venue.
The whole scene was so hot.
It’s even more exaggerated than the World Cup!
“Oh my god! Where is this??”
"A large sports venue! Honghuang actually built one!"
"This is so realistic! It's just like a World Cup stadium!"
"That's a lot of people. There must be several million at least!"
“It’s so cool to have so many people watching the game online together!”
"A big deal! An absolutely big deal!"
The players at this time were so shocked that they were incoherent. The horrifying sound waves echoed in the stadium, almost threatening to tear the entire sky apart.
And as time goes by, the light shines.
More and more people were teleported in, and the exclamations never stopped.
Not to mention Ouyang Xiao and the others.
After being stunned for a long time, he finally came back to his senses, his face full of shock.
“What a spectacular stadium!”
"I... are we going to compete here later?"
Xiaoqian Yaya was both nervous and excited.
Millions, or even tens of millions of people watching their games live, is very exciting just thinking about it, as if you have suddenly become a star.
"Look over there! It looks like the D-wheel track in Yu-Gi-Oh! 5DS!"
"And that place, why does it look a bit like the layout of a breakup kitchen?"
Soon, the sharp-eyed Ouyang Xiao and Xun'er also noticed the layout at the edge of the central venue, which had a strong sense of déjà vu.
It was exactly the same scene as in other games under Honghuang!
Could it be.
Except for Pokémon.
Do you plan to hold e-sports competitions for other games here in the future?
Think of this.
The two became even more excited.
It's like discovering a new world.
but.
If I were to say the most exciting thing.
Those e-sports players had already become fanatical at this time.
Because they saw huge potential in this sports arena!
It may even subvert the entire e-sports industry!
Don’t be fooled by the fact that only the game “Pokemon” is holding competitions right now.
What can I do next?
Once more types of competitions are held, it will definitely set off a terrifying craze in the entire gaming community!
"Listen to me! No matter what happens this time, you must work hard to make it to the finals!"
The coach leading the team was very excited.
In such a large-scale competition, if they can reach the semi-finals or even the finals, it will definitely make them famous.
By then, won’t there be plenty of sponsorship funds?
There is such a good e-sports platform.
What the hell, they even hold offline competitions!
All transferred directly online!
As expected.
As soon as the coach finished speaking, the virtual device's built-in communicator received a call from a sponsor.
"I won't waste any more time. If you make it to the finals, I'll cover all the club fees for this year. If you win the championship, I'll double the money!"
hiss--
Double!
The coach gasped, then burst into ecstasy.
"Okay, it's settled!"
E-sports clubs like theirs basically have to employ dozens of people, and the expenses are extremely high.
So in addition to the competition prize money.
Sponsorship fees from those companies are also a top priority.
But the problem is.
In order to increase investment returns, many investors will only target the most popular champions, runners-up and third-place winners.
If you can't make it to the finals and don't get a ranking, then I'm sorry, I will turn around and choose the championship team. This is the cruelty of the e-sports industry.
The entire stadium.
It's not just this club team.
Other clubs also received similar calls.
The game has already become tense before it even started.
The hot scene quickly spread on the Internet.
Many people used their photo and video functions to upload the images of the game to the Internet, which instantly caused a huge sensation.
"Is this... the virtual sports meeting mentioned before the Great Desolation?"
"Oh my God! Aren't there too many people?"
"You told me this was in a game?"
"No, I have to go online and check it out!"
"Damn it, I was just about to go to bed, but I got up and watched the live broadcast."
All the netizens who saw the video were shocked and looked at the unprecedented grand and popular scene in disbelief.
Even though it's almost midnight.
They all hurriedly got up from the bed.
Those with equipment can log in to the platform, and those without equipment can start live broadcast.
The news spread quickly in various circles like a hurricane!
