Chapter 22 Cost and National Conditions
Reality is always cruel, and that kind of fairy tale-like reality only exists in the mouths of storytellers.
Merlin naturally has enough understanding of this cruel reality. He can sit here now and have special people to answer his questions, which is that he eliminated countless people and won the qualifications he won.
If he was just an ordinary player in the United States, how could he have such an opportunity?
However, after watching KeSPA competition, Merlin had an idea, which was to move this professional competition system from South Korea back to the United States.
He is an American and he has the pride of being an American.
As an Anklu Saxon, the noblest white race on earth.
How could noble whites be worse than yellow people?
Merlin believes that the reason why American players have low levels is not because they are not talented or hard-working enough, but because they do not have a correct game mode and a correct training method.
The Korean Professional League is available every week, while the American StarCraft League only takes place once a year.
There is a huge difference in the frequency of practice first.
The frequency of contact is low, and you cannot encounter high-level confrontation in normal times, so the level will naturally improve slowly.
As long as you have played a slightly higher-end game, you will know that the gameplay during the game is absolutely different from the gameplay of the ladder.
The ladder does not require any multiple strategies and tactics.
Even most ladders with not very high scores do not need to detect or respond.
Because, compared to the opponents who will study you differently, you will be hidden in the darkness in the ladder.
People don’t know the tactics you use, so they will naturally not study them.
And you don’t know what tactics your opponent might use, just close your eyes and fight.
To put it bluntly, it is a fight between two blind people.
In the game, both players learned about how much hair there was on their opponents.
As long as you are strong enough, there will be enough information on the market for your opponent to study.
If South Korea's professional competition system is moved back to the United States, the strength of the United States' "StarCraft" will definitely improve rapidly.
The reason why Meilin thought of moving back to the competition system and training system was because he learned from Wanhu that Wanhu had the idea of preparing for the World Championship.
All countries in the world will compete in StarCraft, just like the World Cup of Football.
Merlin came to inspect, not because he was afraid that his strength would be inferior to lose the game, but to maintain the glory of being an American!
However... he thought he was too naive to be able to move the e-sports event system back to the United States.
If this thing could be done, Wanhu would have done it himself.
However, ten thousand households cannot do it.
Although the United States is also in a new round of economic and financial crisis, Americans have already released their strong mental power through ball sports.
In other words, the role KeSPA plays in South Korea has long been occupied by ball sports.
People like to watch games, buy jerseys, sneakers, balls and training courses.
With these ball entertainments help the United States alleviate social conflicts and ease social forms, why should we go far and set up an e-sports event system?
You know, ball sports have better properties than video games.
That is, there is no inventor or copyright holder for ball sports. There is only a manufacturer that produces peripheral products.
In this way, once this ball sport becomes bigger, it will not be subject to others.
But electronic games are different. Electronic games must have developers and publishers.
If you use video games as a competition project, do you need to consider the interests of developers and publishers?
If the interests of the publisher conflict with the interests of the event organizer, is the publisher able to threaten the event organizer by canceling the copyright authorization of the game?
Although the United States was not founded for a long time, it was a weather-beaten and war-torn business soldier. They could see the risks of such emerging things more clearly than anyone else.
And why did South Korea choose video games as their goal?
Because they have no choice.
Because all other sports and various ball games require a lot of infrastructure and higher costs. However, now is the time of an economic crisis. Not only ordinary people have no money, but even the country has no money.
E-sports is a goal that can be chosen when there is no traditional sports.
Because it is low in cost and quick in effect, the target group is specifically young people.
Merlin returned to the United States with hopefulness with KeSPA’s entire set of rules, advocating everywhere about what he saw and heard. Many people were interested in the Korean League, but few people wanted to establish such a league system in the United States.
Wanhu Interactive Entertainment is indifferent not because he doesn’t want to think about it but because he is unable to do so.
The reason why South Korea can run KeSPA is because of the support of the South Korean government and major consortiums.
But if Wanhu Interactive Entertainment wants to do it in the United States, who can it rely on?
Although there are much more wealthy companies and rich people in the United States than in South Korea, why should those rich people help you make money by interacting and entertainment?
You know, for e-sports, no one will ignore the copyright of the game.
Wanhu will not give up copyright stupidly.
Moreover, the cost of maintaining normal operations is terrible.
To give an example, if you really conduct a ranking of China's rich people, Takahashi will not hide it, he will be the richest man in China.
But how many days does the wealth he has to support the Chinese government?
Fifteen days.
That's right, it's only fifteen days.
This is because China's government is relatively efficient.
If Takahashi's wealth supports the US government operations, it will probably last for three days.
It is precisely because it was very expensive to maintain a normalized organizational operation. Therefore, whether it was the Empire of the Sun that claimed that the sun would not set on the territory, or other countries that carried out great sailings.
They basically did not choose to establish grassroots governments on territories outside their homeland, and truly incorporated this territories into rule.
And it was just creating one colony after another.
Not to mention the distant future, it is not the same as the China Xiang (Meow) Hong Kong.
The so-called Hong Kong government can only maintain a basic rule, but the actual rule relies on endless vibrant social organizations.
In order to facilitate management, the concept of higher Chinese was created to use higher Chinese to manage ordinary Chinese.
Wanhu Interactive Entertainment is not a fool, and he will not engage in a normal league just because Merlin is running around.
