Game Development: I Built a Game Empire

In fact, I have been paying attention to the"League of Legends" global finals.

Mainly gaming clubs around the world, followed by loyal players of League of Legends.

After all, Chen Xu had announced news about this before.

But due to factors such as the relatively long preparation time.

There was still no large-scale publicity.

Now, it can be said that anyone who has played"League of Legends" knows that this event exists.

And just from the scale and name of the event, we can see the ambition of Fengyun Games this time.

Not to mention various formal specifications and extremely large scale costs.

From the name, Fengyun Games named the ranked period in the game the S1 season, including the global finals, which is the same as the ranked season period of the game.

After the global finals, one season ends and the next season begins, and its ambition can be seen.

Not to mention record-breaking bonuses.

The prize money of tens of millions of dollars is definitely among the best even among traditional sports events.

Not to mention the windThe game stated that the champion team also has a season-long share of the sales of the champion skin.

Although the selection of champion skins is very demanding, they need to appear in the decisive game before they can be selected.

For example, it is a key game to qualify for the group stage, or a hero to be used in a key game at the match point of the BO5 semi-finals or finals.

But even so, it is definitely a very scary number.

It may even be higher than the total bonus.

From the perspective of e-sports events, Chen Xu is definitely unprecedented this time.

Players all over the world are amazed by the situation of this event.

‘Oh My God! Ten million US dollars in prize money and a share of champion skins? This has even surpassed many traditional sports events, right?’

‘Fengyun Games is this game manufacturer, right? Are they crazy?’

‘It seems that this game manufacturer is very optimistic about the development prospects of"League of Legends". Although I am also playing it, and this game is indeed very popular around the world, I really doubt whether it can succeed.’

‘I have to say, this refreshed my understanding of e-sports competitions!’

‘It's simply awesome. If I have the chance, I will definitely go and watch this game in person!’

‘I don’t know if tickets will be sold overseas. I think this game may become a record in the gaming industry. It would be perfect if I could experience this in person!’

‘Maybe we should go to this company’s official blog to petition so that its tickets can be sold overseas! '

For this competition, countless ordinary players, no matter which country they are from.

When I know the scale of the global finals, I feel excited and like witnessing history.

Unprecedented prize pool and scale.

There is no doubt that this will be a feast for League of Legends players.

Soon, Chen Xu and Fengyun Games officials also announced how to obtain the game.

That is to use your"League of Legends" account to conduct a lottery to get it for free.

According to the players in different countries and regions, the number of tickets is distributed according to a proportion.

Of course, there are also a series of standards, mainly to prevent ticket touts.

At the same time, in order to prevent the drawn players from not arriving at the venue at the time, resulting in wasted tickets.

Therefore, there will be an early certification. If certified within the time, the tickets will be directly given to some domestic players.

After this news was released, countless"League of Legends" players also cheered.

However, in the gaming circle, many people expressed their pessimism.

The main reason is that I feel that Chen Xu has taken too big a step this time, and it is very likely that he is losing money and making a profit.

‘Chen Xu really went too big this time, and it looked really shocking. It was true in terms of scale, but was it just a matter of burning too much money?’

‘Yes, with a bonus of tens of millions of US dollars, plus event promotion, and a series of other expenditures, an investment of US$100 million in a year will definitely be indispensable.’

‘The key is that there is a follow-up league."League of Legends" is popular, but the key is can it be successful? And e-sports events, tsk tsk’

‘The key point is that we cannot make ends meet. We can't have Fengyun Games organize every competition at our own expense, right? Chen Xu is rich, but the key is how long can he keep it?’

‘There is another core point: how long can"League of Legends" be popular? Generally speaking, multiplayer games should start to decline in two or three years, right?’

‘Rumor has it that Chen Xu declined many sponsorships this year. The highest offer was US$2 million a year, but he was still rejected.’

‘In fact, it’s normal. After all, I’ve invested so much. If it were me, I wouldn’t agree to the $2 million offer.’

‘But the question is, whether we can get our money back, we can’t rely entirely on tickets, right?’

‘Not to mention tickets, Chen Xu didn’t even plan to sell tickets for the first session!’

‘Stop talking, just wait and see for the time being.’

‘That's right, just wait and see. You'll know after seeing how this competition goes. If it becomes popular, you won't have to worry about cashing in. If it's just a flash in the pan, then it's estimated that this competition will be gone after just one session. '

With the promotion of the"League of Legends" global finals, auditions will also be held.

Major manufacturers in the gaming industry have also focused their attention on the"League of Legends" global finals.

For most manufacturers, Chen Xu's actions are really confusing to them.

Can e-sports really be done?

Does Chen Xu really have that much confidence?

One of the limitations of the times has caused many domestic game manufacturers to express their incomprehension.

Even though some people are optimistic about the e-sports model, a big project like"League of Legends" still makes them feel a bit outrageous.

But whether Chen Xu has a far-sighted vision or a blind eye will be known when the statistics of a game come out.
