Chapter 731 Ten Years Later

The whole year of 2015 became a turning point for the two major projects of DOTA and GAG.

Wings won TI6 and became the last glory of CNDOTA.

IG won S8 and opened the first year of e-sports in GPL.

Before that, under the operation of Huo Qi and Mo Yu, the e-sports project successfully entered the 14th Incheon Asian Games, and has since become an Asian Games event, and the medals won will also be included in the medal list.

Since then, national e-sports teams in various Asian countries have been established one after another, and at the same time, they have also led some countries in other continents.

Later.

Frenchman Ross was elected as the new chairman of the Olympic Committee, and subsequently established an Olympic e-sports group, successively carried out a number of e-sports events, and selected e-sports events into the Olympic exhibition events at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.

Until 2021, Ross announced that he would continue to be re-elected, and released news to the outside world at the press conference that in the 2024 Paris Olympics in France, many e-sports events will become the Paris Olympics events!

2024.

Everything is peaceful and the people are safe.

This year's Paris Olympics will be held steadily.

Mo Yu had already married Shang Xingyue, and he was already over 40 years old.

They had a son and a daughter, but unfortunately, neither of them had a strong e-sports talent and could not help their father to rank higher.

In the past ten years, with his efforts, e-sports has already become a popular competitive event in the world, and Moyu Games has also become one of the best game companies in the world.

The company not only has projects such as GAG and DOTA that have stood for decades, but also has developed a number of popular games again, and the mobile terminal has also kept up.

Honor of Kings, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, CrossFire, StarCraft, Overwatch, Stimulus Battlegrounds, Valorant, Genting Tactics, DOTA Auto Chess, Endless Showdown. Each game is a big hit, and a global competition system has also been established.

Jingzhou.

Moyu Game Headquarters Building.

This newly built headquarters building stands in Jiangdong District. Standing high above, you can see the last of the three Jiangdong venues through the window-Honor Hall!

The most unique thing in front of the Glory Hall is a GAG Canyon map that is reproduced in reality.

The audience enters from the fountain and is divided into three routes, or they can choose to go to the wild area and finally enter the venue from another fountain.

After the completion of this Glory Hall, it has become another landmark building in Jingzhou. It is also one of the world's largest e-sports competition venues. It hosts many international competitions every year and can be called an e-sports holy land!

"It's been many years!"

Retracting his gaze from the distance at the Glory Hall, Mo Yu looked to his side.

"Yes, we have known each other for almost 20 years." Zhang Zhaoyang still looks like a cynical rich second generation. The calmness brought to him by ten years has completely retreated in front of Mo Yu, and he is still the most relaxed at the beginning.

Mo Yu turned around and sat back on the sofa: "Did Xiaobo lead the team to Paris?"

"Yes, he has left." Zhang Zhaoyang nodded and said: "I didn't expect that the national team would choose him as the head coach for this year's Olympic training."

"What's unexpected about this?" Mo Yu waved his hand and smiled: "After all, he is a champion coach. Last year's S16 trophy is still in your Emperor Star."

The S game has reached S17, and has experienced the rise of South Korea, the rise of China, and then the rise of Europe.

The champion of S15 two years ago was a European team.

As for North America and Southeast Asia, they have basically been in the quarterfinals in recent years.

And just last year, the S16 championship trophy was taken back from Europe by the Emperor Star team led by the team's meritorious player and the world's top mid laner Lu Zibo. Because of this trophy, Emperor Star has become the only championship team in the GAG ​​e-sports circle that can compete with SKT's four championships!

In these years, although GAG's players have been slowly losing, its huge size and the continuous upgrading of events and its entry into the Olympics have maintained the popularity of the game. It is still considered to be the world's top online game, and the related events are even praised as one of the largest and most influential e-sports competitions!

"That's right."

Zhang Zhaoyang smiled: "I hope we can keep S17 this year."

"Europe is so aggressive, let's be a little more careful." Mo Yu smiled: "DOTA is also leaving?"

"We went together."

Zhang Zhaoyang nodded, with a little regret: "It's a pity that this year's Paris Olympics said that they would select events to enter the main competition, but in the end, only DOTA and GAG were selected. The other events are still exhibition matches. Lao Mo, you have to think of a way to get more in the next session."

"It's not that easy."

Mo Yu shook his head: "If we really want to say that the competitions that can perfectly meet the requirements of the Olympics are only GAG and DOTA, the other events are still a little bit worse, and the influence cannot reach that level. I have worked hard with Huo Qi for many years. We have done our best to achieve this point. The rest will be discussed later."

Esports has only become an Olympic event in Tokyo and Paris. Before that, it would be best to become a permanent event in the Asian Games.

In the two Olympic Games, the last Tokyo Olympics was just an exhibition match, and this Paris Olympics should be similar.

However, Huo Qi helped to contact the current Olympic Committee President Ross, who happened to be willing to support the development of e-sports. The three of them hit it off immediately, and with the help of capable people from the e-sports associations of each region, they were able to overcome all objections in the Olympic Committee and finally choose the two projects with the greatest comprehensive influence in the current e-sports circle, namely GAG and DOTA.

However, Ross will step down in 25 years, and it is hard to say what his successor will think at that time.

But no matter what, everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that we have started, there is a precedent to follow, and it will not get worse later.

"I know it's not easy, but after so many years, GAG and DOTA have entered the old age of online games." Zhang Zhaoyang worried: "Maybe one day a hit will completely cause a large number of players to leave. What should we do then?"

"We'll think about future things in the future." Mo Yu smiled and said: "There is no unchanging dynasty in the world. As long as there are successors, there is nothing to worry about."

"I heard that there are high-end technologies such as brain-computer interface and consciousness-controlled robots. In the future, the game industry may also have virtual reality helmets like those written in novels."

"The world must progress. Besides, such a big game is still here. Maybe the hit you mentioned came from the game?"

There are talents in every generation.

The same is true for the game industry.

Esports events are not like traditional sports events. They will continue to change with the progress of technology and the times. It is normal that the existing competition events will be submerged in history sooner or later.

Anyway, Mo Yu has made the overall concept of "esports" bigger. As for the rest, whoever loves it will do it.

Even if Moyu Games can no longer make games and closes down one day, he doesn't care. Anyway, the money he earns is enough for three generations to enjoy as long as his descendants don't start a business blindly.

Besides, Moyu Games may not necessarily close down! (End of this chapter)
