Chapter 378 The Charm of Electronic Sports

Next, Need for Speed ​​and Street Basketball also competed for the championship.

They are all players from different clubs, some from the United States and some from Japan.

South Korea really has no advantage in these three events, because it started too late. Japan and the United States have already played these games by heart. Fabi.

However, StarCraft is different.

Players from several countries started this game almost at the same time, so the competition is who has a better understanding of this game and can play a stronger means.

Li Mingzhe has now successfully become a player of a Korean consortium e-sports club.

Becoming a club player means that he will have a stable income in the future.

In addition to monetary income, there are bonuses after winning, additional club rewards for champions, and advertising endorsements.

This is something that Li Mingzhe, an ordinary young man in the past, could not imagine.

E-sports has given many ordinary people a chance to jump through the dragon gate.

There are already mature systems in other competitive fields, and it is almost difficult for ordinary people to enter that competitive circle if they are not amazingly talented.

But e-sports is young, and everyone's starting point is the same. There is even a StarCraft player in Japan who is nearly forty years old, because he won the championship in Hokkaido.

At this time, age is not an absolute restriction, even if it is nearly forty, it is possible to beat young people.

"Mr. Zhuyou, your e-sports idea is really great."

In the large independent box in the stadium, a number of representatives of the Korean and Japanese consortium chaebols gathered here.

At this time, they were all around a very young man, Zhu Yuxing.

Now with the progress of this competition, its commercial potential has been shown to a certain extent.

This is only the first time, and preparations for the next e-sports events have already begun.

Several chaebols and consortiums have discussed the next division of interests.

This brand-new competitive industry is a completely undeveloped market. Whoever enters the field first will get the first pot of gold. That is a real eye-catcher. No one can resist this temptation.

And all the credit is due to Zhu Yuxing.

It was he who first proposed the competitive mode of video games, and also brought in a number of Japanese local chaebols to do this, which eventually led to the development of e-sports.

These people are now trying their best to compliment Zhu Yuxing.

As long as it is comfortable to compliment Zhu Yuxing, and he devolves some e-sports authority a little bit, then they can get more benefits.

Some chaebol families even took the initiative to send their own girls here after learning that Zhu Youxing was not married yet.

But Zhu Youxing is not interested in this, he has his own pursuit and ideas, and women will only delay his speed of drawing his sword...

Well, far away.

In the face of these people's compliments, Zhu Youxing didn't react at all, just said: "The game is about to start, let's take a quiet look and see the finale of the quarterfinals."

Since this event is the first time, there will still be some places where the planning is not perfect.

The first and most imperfect thing is the density of this event.

Generally speaking, it will take at least three or four days to compete for the final champion after the quarterfinals.

But this first tournament was not so particular, and the players couldn't wait to quickly move on to the next one after finishing this one, so the tournament that would be completed in three or four days was compressed into one day.

This morning is the quarterfinals of StarCraft.

Four viewing points start at the same time.

People watching the live broadcast only need to follow the directions to different branch TV stations or secondary webpage links to watch the episodes they want to watch.

In the quarter-finals, there are three Korean players, two Japanese players and three American players.

Judging from people's most intuitive strength comparison, Japan's side is obviously weaker, and it seems that StarCraft is not Japan's strength.

Sure enough, after the quarter-finals, all Japanese players were eliminated, leaving two Korean players and two American players.

This became a Korean-American war.

And these four people include Li Mingzhe.

At this moment, his palms were sweating slightly.

Just now, he personally eliminated a strong player from the United States.

In the game, he almost felt like he was about to lose.

But I didn't expect that a small mistake of the opponent was caught by me keenly. I quickly used the combination of Zerg Hydralisk and Puppy to raid the opponent's base camp, directly cut off the opponent's economic line, and then relied on his quick explosive troops Let the situation tilt sharply towards him in an instant, and finally win the game.

Seriously, he had never felt this thrilling.

The adrenaline of the whole person is now soaring rapidly.

The veins on his forehead bulged slightly.

It's really stressful.

There are also players who are as nervous and exciting as Li Mingzhe.

Among the four games, Lee Ming-chul was the one that attracted the most attention from South Korea, because it was the only battle between the United States and South Korea in the four games just now.

At that time, when Li Mingzhe was at a disadvantage, the entire audience in the stands covered their eyes in exclamation.

But in the end, it was a near victory.

Li Mingzhe was also the first name to be cheered by many Korean players and audiences.

At that time, when Li Mingzhe took off his earphones and heard his name, he felt as if his whole body was sublimated.

It's a really great feeling.

He finally understood the charm of video games, but also realized the charm of e-sports.

This stuff is really fascinating.

Then, at the end of the quarter-finals, he and another Korean player were promoted, and they faced two other American players.

Korea-US War.

This gimmick is really full.

TV ratings on the Korean side also began to soar rapidly.

Originally, the broadcast TV station was only a relatively backward TV station in South Korea. It was established by several consortiums to compete for the right to speak. It has never been comparable to the orthodox Korean official TV station.

But this time eSports has become an opportunity for them.

It was the first time their station briefly surpassed South Korean state television in ratings.

The new TV station founded by the chaebols has become a gathering place for young people in a very short period of time.

Hey, did you hear that?There is now an athletic event going on in the Korea-US War!

What?Where did you hear that?What is the athletic event?How did I not hear it being said?

Is this your ignorance?It is a competitive event called e-sports, which is to win or lose by playing games.

What?It turned out to be a game, what's the comparison?boring.

However, this is the Korea-US war, you don't want to see who wins?

Well, this is a bit interesting, you tell me which TV station, I will watch it now.
