The e3 game conference in the 2000th AD.

At this year's e3 exhibition, there are Shenmue 2, Xianjian Legend, metal equipment, and interactive movies.

But at the end, an explosive noun began to appear.

“E-sports.”

This word became popular quickly after the Order of the Phoenix.

In reality, players are discussing e-sports.

On the Internet, this word is spreading at an explosive rate.

"This is CG, this is the World Esports Competition."

Jade and Terry were watching the replay of the e3 show on TV at this time.

At this moment, the figure of Mori Xia appears in the picture.

"I think everyone is a little unfamiliar with the word 'e-sports', but I think everyone is probably not unfamiliar with the concept of e-sports. As early as 1986, the ABC channel in our Lighthouse Country used live broadcasts to play Nintendo game consoles between two children. Although everyone was still very ignorant at that time, I think this may be the beginning of e-sports."

"At that time, we were still using red and white machines with weak performance, but it is undeniable that red and white machines were early classics of home machines. After the birth of red and white machines, the prototype of e-sports had already appeared."

Senxia did not say Atari, because Atari was always a pain in the hearts of players in the Lighthouse Country.

So when giving an example, he used the concept of "red and white machine".

Although there is suspicion of advertising for Nintendo, Moriya has no shyness about it.

Even behind, Moriya continued to brag about Nintendo.

"Ten years ago, Nintendo held a game competition in 29 cities across the Lighthouse Country. Nintendo produced special cartridges for this competition, including "Super Mario Bros.", "Red_raer" and "Tetris", with a time limit of 6 minutes and 21 seconds, and the final score is based on the scores of the three competitions."

Moriya continued to blow on Nintendo.

Those who don’t know probably think Morika is a Nintendo fan.

But what Senxia said is indeed correct. Nintendo's competition has received wide responses and achieved excellent publicity results.

At that time, there were even only twenty-six copies of the "1990 Nintendo World Championship" FC gold version cassettes in the world.

By the way, the price of each Nintendo World Championship cassette is over 10,000 US dollars, which is still a low point.

"Nintendo is indeed very powerful. The Nintendo World Championships is the first official video game competition in history. It was born ten years earlier than the World Esports Competition. But..."

Shire, however, quickly changed from Nintendo to senior Ren Hei.

"However, Nintendo's vision is too narrow. Their seriousness is only their own games, so the concept of e-sports has not been completely revealed." Senxia said, "Their vision is limited by the times, and their hearts are also covered by the fog in front of them."

"So, it's different now," Senxia said. "We're going from Aurora to Asia Pacific, from Los Angeles to New York, we're going to build a global game. And that's the World Esports Competition."

"We will select two and three games from each competitive game type to compete. For example, real-time strategy games, we will select three games, StarCraft, Age of Empires 2 and Red Alert, to compete. In fighting, we will choose two games, King of Fighters 98 and Street Fighter 3, and in first-person shooting games, we will choose two games, Thor Arena 3 and Counter-Strike. However, in moba, there is only one game, "Hero Track".

At the end of hearing, everyone laughed.

Moba is now Dugu Qiubai on the Internet, and the winner takes all. If you want to play Moba, you basically only have a game like Hero Track.

In fact, other game manufacturers have followed the trend and made hero track games that have only made copycats.

But unfortunately, online games require a number of people.

Now the number of people playing online games is limited, and the entire market can only support a moba-type game like "Hero Trajectory".

After other manufacturers come in, they may be attractive at the beginning, but the number of players is always limited, and now the AI ​​technology is not developed. It is very difficult to play a confrontation with your teammates comfortably.

Of course, some manufacturers targeted the online game field that Senxia had not entered, and then the east wind of broadband installed by the hero trajectory made a small fortune.

In short, it is just a saying: Those who learn from me live, and those who are like me die.

Jade and Terry were in front of the TV, but they didn't care about anything else.

After hearing the name "Hero Trajectory", both of them were very excited.

Both of these people are players on the heroic track.

The two of them have reached the platinum level in the qualifying competition.

The two often like to play qualifying matches on the double platoon, and sometimes they will play qualifying matches with a friend they met on the Internet called "Justice's Poisonous Knife".

They think they still have some strength.

"Hey, the registration interface has come out!"

The two of them were not just facing the TV, but their computers were also placed on the computer next to them.

After the exhibition, Senxia announced the details of e-sports, which can be found on the Internet as soon as possible.

So the two of them are constantly refreshing the "cg" website.

Before, this website had only a simple publicity interface.

But when midnight arrived at 12 o'clock and when Jade refreshed the interface again, different pictures appeared on the current screen.

The two went to the game with heroic tracks, so after the interface was refreshed, the two began to find the details of the game.

"At least five people are required to participate...Asian competition areas, weekly competition areas, European competition areas..."

The competition is divided into three major competition areas. The previous competition is decided in each competition area, and the team that qualifies will play the group stage and finals in Los Angeles.

"Five people..."

Jade and Terry frowned.

Because they only have two people.

And at this moment, their qicq rang again.

Jade clicked on the message, and then his eyes lit up: "Hey, the righteous poisonous flying knife agreed to form a team!"

"Cool!" Terry's eyes lit up too.

In this way, they will have three people.

"But there are still two left..." Terry said again, "Jed, look at our friends, are there anyone else going to participate in the competition?"

"'Uncle Sam' said he had made an appointment with someone else... Wait, the righteous Poisonous Flying Knife said he had a reliable friend." Jade watched online.

"Oh, not bad! But one is missing!"

The difference between team games and personal competition is that if you want to gather players in team games, sometimes it is not a simple matter.

In addition to technology, what is tested at this time is also the player's connections and time itself.

This is a more troublesome thing.

"Hey, there's it! Lisa said he's available!"

Lisa is a friend of the two, but this player is a "shemale" on the Internet, and the id he uses is "Lisa".

"Well"

However, just after he finished speaking, Jade froze.

"What's wrong?" Terry was a little surprised.

"Lisa said he wanted to play Counter-Strike, and he said if we can sign up for Counter-Strike together, he will join us."

This made him feel embarrassed.

But Terry quickly said, "It's okay, let's sign up! We don't like the Counter-Strike too? 'Justice' also likes this game very much. Ask about the situation there and see if the Poisonous Flying Knife agrees."

"Okay, there's no conflict anyway." Jed shrugged and began to ask about Poison Flying Knife.

After all, this is the first conference, and we cannot expect professional players this year, so Moriya's requirements for the competition are not as strict as in the future. We can actually "cross-border" registration.

But if CG can be recognized and welcomed, Morika will change the rules and make the entire league more standardized.

As for now, this is all I can do.

"Huh, I agree here."

This is true for Jade and Terry. They both breathed a sigh of relief and formed a team that participated in the two projects of Counter-Strike and Hero Track.

Then Jade collected everyone's contact information and prepared to get together another day and sign up for the competition...

“Planning.”

On the other side, Moriya sat in the room, also looking at the information on the computer.

Players are still very enthusiastic about e-sports.

The forum of A Club has been in trouble.

Even if it is a sector that you don’t want to be in charge, everyone is discussing e-sports.

The Internet in Lighthouse Country seems to be in a carnival today.

"But why did you pay so much attention to the information of Bangguo before?" Qian Jia was also looking at the information on the computer next to Morika, and then he asked Morika again.

"Although we all think that country is a bit subtle, this kind of thing can't be avoided there!"

Charles sighed a little.

Although he also thought that Bangguo was very annoying, after all, Morika was the third black, and Morika was even more powerful than Ren Hei.
