Chapter 925: Sky-High Quota in Beimi Competition Area!

Wednesday morning, March 7.

On the live broadcast of Tuwei, the first water-testing exhibition match of the ICL League will start at 5 o'clock tonight. The two teams are the two domestic teams that won the domestic places and entered the ioi global finals but were eliminated in the final group stage. .

Although they were both eliminated in the group stage, it seems that they have no cards, but after all, these two teams can be regarded as the two strongest teams in China besides FV and SUG.

What's more, after returning from the World Finals, they also played some training matches with the FV team, and their technical and tactical level and overall strength have been significantly improved.

Zhao Xuming believes that when these two teams reappear in front of all the audience, they will definitely show a completely new look!

And tomorrow, that is, on Thursday, there will be an exhibition match between the FV team and the SUG team, and the attention will definitely be higher.

The reason why the match between FV and SUG was not scheduled for today is mainly because I was afraid that something might happen on the first day.

All kinds of lighting, equipment, broadcasting directors, relevant arrangements for the live broadcast of the rabbit tail, etc. at the competition site all need to be adjusted. If the exhibition match between FV and SUG is scheduled for today, if the computer is suspended during the whole process, it will be too disappointing, and it will be a kind of harm to the enthusiasm of the league.

Therefore, it is the best choice to arrange two teams with not so high traffic volume but certain strength and popularity today.

Of course, this will also bring about a problem, that is, how to deal with the heat of the game.

At present, it is not an exaggeration to say that 90% of the enthusiasm in the domestic ioi field is concentrated on the FV team. If the FV team does not participate, there will not be many spectators watching on the first day of the ICL exhibition game. Isn't it embarrassing?

However, Zhao Xuming didn't think this was a big problem. After all, data was all true and false, and he understood everything.

The live broadcast platform can give a few million fake heat, put more repeated bullet screens, and arrange a group of sailors to speak wildly... It can also support the heat of the live broadcast room, at least it can be faked. Effect.

Although there is no detailed agreement on these contents in the contract between the two parties, aren't all live broadcast platforms such a routine?

There is no need to deliberately explain this kind of thing, it is an unspoken industry rule, and the staff at Tuwei Live will naturally arrange it.

Now, Eric and Zhao Xuming are inspecting the ICL league match site to check the preparations for various tasks.

The venue of the ICL league is also an indoor venue, a large studio in Shanghai.

In fact, at the beginning, Eric considered large-scale stadiums, but soon gave up. Because although these large stadiums look more magnificent, there will be many corresponding problems.

For example, large open-air venues are severely affected by the weather. Whether it is heavy rain or sun exposure, the audience will suffer.

The bigger the venue, the more money it will cost to decorate it to achieve the desired effect. It's not that I'm afraid of spending money, but mainly because I'm afraid that the audience will be dissatisfied, which would be embarrassing.

What's more, the traffic in large venues may not be very convenient. If there are concerts, football games and other things, ICL audiences will leave the venue with fans or fans, and the scene will be chaotic and difficult.

So after comprehensive consideration, we still rented an indoor studio like GPL, so that at least the transportation is more convenient and the overall effect can be guaranteed.

Eric went around the backstage of the studio, asked the staff in detail about the debugging of various equipment, and then went around the stage and auditorium to see what shortcomings there are from the perspective of an audience.

Zhao Xuming followed Eric the whole time, occasionally explaining some details.

Eric has studied the venues of the GPL before, and has a lot of experience to learn from. Eric also gave a lot of instructions for the preparation of the ICL.

After turning everything around, Eric sat in the audience in silence for a moment, and said, "Is it going to be a bit too GPL-like?"

He didn't realize it until now.

Because when preparing for the ICL league, Eric subconsciously adopted all the things that the GPL did well, such as the battle flags of each team used for decoration around the venue, the arrangement of the big screen on the stage and the players' positions, etc.

There is really nothing wrong with taking these details out alone, but when they are all put together, there will be an inexplicably familiar sense of sight...

Obviously, when the staff completed these details, they also subconsciously compared the GPL's approach in their minds, so they did something similar.

Zhao Xuming opened his mouth, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

Since Eric asked this question, it was obvious that he already had an affirmative answer in his heart.

If you say "no", it will definitely make Eric feel that he has no vision.

But Zhao Xuming couldn't nod and say "yes", because then Eric would definitely ask back, why didn't you remind me earlier?

What Eric needs most now is a reliable solution.

But tonight is the start of the game, and there is still a solution with a hammer in just a few hours?

You can't just tear down all the pre-made decorations now and replace them all in a few hours, right? Isn't that bullshit?

Zhao Xuming had an idea and thought up his words.

"There is indeed a sense of GPL's déjà vu, but I think it's okay."

"Although this will bring us a little negative impact on public opinion, it also means that after the GPL audience transfers to our ICL league, there is not much threshold for watching the game."

"It can only be said that there are advantages and disadvantages, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."

"In the future, we can slowly adjust the decoration of the venue and remove the GPL elements as much as possible."

Eric seemed quite satisfied with this answer, and nodded: "Well, that's the only way to go."

The two sat in the auditorium for a while, and Eric asked again: "I heard that Tenda Group is also preparing for overseas leagues. How is the current situation? Is there any news?"

Zhao Xuming quickly replied, "Some news has come out."

"Currently, Tenda Group's overseas league is still in the preparatory stage. I heard that it will cooperate with overseas companies to promote it. Each agency company will decide the specific matters of the overseas league. Tenda Group only plays the role of guidance and check."

"As for which companies to cooperate with, the specific competition system, schedule, and participating teams of each overseas league...these are still completely unknown."

Eric nodded and smiled slightly: "Overseas leagues, we are finally better than us. ioi's regional leagues around the world started earlier than GOG, and it is directly managed by the finger company to establish branches in various places. It’s clearly an advantage across the board.”

Zhao Xuming asked: "I was also surprised when I first heard the news. It doesn't seem like Mr. Pei's style of doing things. Cooperate with other companies and let these companies lead the preparations for overseas leagues. If the cooperation fails Isn't it embarrassing?"

Eric smiled slightly: "Do you think Mr. Pei is not aware of this? He is aware of it, but he can't help it."

"After all, Tengda Group doesn't have much experience in going overseas, and it may be difficult to force a large package."

"The Dayak Group is a multinational group with good influence in many regions of the world, and the Finger Company is a US company."

"In other words, in terms of domestic leagues, Tenda has a natural advantage; but in terms of overseas leagues, this situation is completely reversed."

"As far as I know, the preparations for the league with the headquarters of the Finger Company in the Beimi area are almost ready, and the tentative price of the league seats is..."

"Seven million dollars."

Zhao Xuming was stunned for a moment: "It's so expensive!"

This is the price for a single seat.

It was said before that Mr. Pei paid a sky-high price for the GPL quota, but the average price of the seat is basically around 20 million, which is only 3 million knives.

And the bid for seats in the ioi Beimi regional league directly doubled the bid for the GPL quota!

Eric smiled: "It's a little expensive at the moment, but it won't be necessarily the case in the future. Moreover, with a price of seven million dollars, many clubs will buy it."

"The club in Beimi has much stronger financial resources. Buying a seat for 7 million will make them feel heartache, but they will definitely not give up this seat."

The level of development of the e-sports industry varies from region to region. The e-sports industry in the three major regions of Europe, America and South Korea is developing relatively fast, but in terms of financial resources, the clubs in Beimi are definitely the richest.

Of course, the domestic e-sports industry also has many large consortia, and the financial resources of the clubs are also growing rapidly, but compared with the clubs in the United States, the financial resources are still much worse.

The pricing of Finger Company in the Beimi competition area is not a slap in the face, but a combination of factors such as the financial resources of each club, the influence and popularity of ioi in the Beimi area, and the asking prices of other e-sports industries.

Eric did not demand high prices from the domestic e-sports clubs. The ICL league seats are basically half-buy and half-free. This is not because he is a philanthropist, but just because he knows that domestic clubs cannot squeeze out so much money.

What's the point of setting a sky-high price and everyone can't afford it?

But the situation in Beimi is different. This is the headquarters of Finger Company. The league, live broadcast and related derivative industries of the club are a huge pool of money. Make a good fortune.

The landlord's family doesn't have any surplus food, and the finger company is throwing money like crazy in order to promote the domestic market. Where does the money come from? Don't you still have to earn back from other markets?

Eric said very confidently: "It's hard to say about other regions, but in the Beimi area, Finger Company has an absolute advantage. It will definitely not be so easy for Tengda to run GOG's Beimi League and compete with ioi!"

Zhao Xuming nodded slightly in agreement.

Indeed, Tenda's achievements so far are mainly in China, and Tenda, as a domestic company, does have an advantage in this regard.

But when it comes to Beimi, it is the home of Finger Company. Tenda Group can't directly intervene, and can only let other game companies act as agents. The difficulty will definitely increase a lot.

The self-confidence of Eric and Finger Company is obviously very reasonable.

Just then, Eric's cell phone rang.

He glanced at it, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and his expression changed suddenly after he picked up the phone.

"What? I'll take a look right away."

These two sentences were spoken in English. Obviously, the call should have come from the headquarters of Finger Company in Los Angeles.

Zhao Xuming asked, "What's wrong?"

Eric's face was a bit ugly: "I don't know why the forum over Beimi is full of hype, saying that we treat the two divisions differently!"
