Chapter 349: Do they dare to challenge me?
It has indeed been a good year for Riot Games bosses in recent years.
Although the outbreak of the epidemic last year caused the postponement of the S11 competition, it seemed that we made a lot less money than in previous years, but this is not the case.
For a long time, everyone was locked up at home. In addition to eating, drinking and sleeping every day, they played games. According to the feedback from the operation data, the average number of online users and average online time of the League of Legends game exceeded the usual time by at least 30%!
Huge number of visits means huge traffic, and traffic can be monetized. They have already made a lot of money by relying on advertising. Subsequently, China's agent Tencent released several new skins, and Riot Games once again made a lot of money.
Last year's revenue increased by 27% year-on-year, firmly ranking among the top two in the gaming industry.
The spending power that they had accumulated for a year exploded again when the S11 competition came. They had already made a lot of money from advertising and sponsorship fees alone, and this year's revenue will probably be astonishing. number.
Luo Huade is now the largest shareholder of Riot Games. At the beginning, Tencent was originally planning to fully acquire this company. When the share acquisition reached 20%, Luo Hua De immediately took measures to seize the largest shareholder. part of the shares, otherwise this company would already belong to China.
Now, Riot Games has become Luo Huade's money-making tool. It seems that under the agency of Tencent, this game will be successful, but in fact, Tencent is just a tool.
When Zhang Mengyu asked Wang Ling to go to Boss Ma to ask for the right to handle the competition, this should have been a very easy thing, but who knew that the licensing formula for hosting the competition was not handed over to Tencent. Luo Huade's goal was Keep all influence firmly in your own hands!
"Hmph, E-Sports Olympics? Only Chinese people want to have such a high-level event in their hands?" In front of the large floor-to-ceiling windows, Luo Huade looked to the east. "The world does not allow for anything larger than the S-Games. Influential League of Legends game!"
"Dong, dong, dong!"
"Come in!" Luo Huade said.
A brightly dressed assistant hurried into the office, "Boss, I have very bad news here."
"What news?" Luo Huade frowned.
"80% of the teams that originally signed up to participate in S11 have canceled their registration."
"What?" Luo Huade's eyes widened.
In the S competition every year, the previous championship division can send three teams, and the remaining divisions can send up to two teams. For these places, didn't those divisions suffer a lot that year? Being able to reach the S series competition is a great honor for any team.
Those teams that had obtained quotas in previous years were probably eager to burn incense and pray to Buddha to thank them for this hard-won opportunity, and they even wanted to publicize it.
If you can win the S game, it will definitely be something the whole country celebrates. It is an honor that every League of Legends club and professional player dreams of!
Not only that, the prize pool for this year's competition has increased several times compared to previous years. The prize money for the championship team is US$25 million! In previous years, the entire bonus pool did not have this much money. Don't you want the money? They all retired from the competition. Are their brains broken or something?
"What's going on? Why did they withdraw?" Rowward asked.
"They all signed up for the League of Legends competition in the e-sports Olympics held in China."
"What? Just that copycat competition?" Luo Huade said, "What's so good about participating in this kind of competition? Is it valuable? It's just like that at best. A higher-level Internet cafe competition. If we don't give them the authorization to compete, they won't even be qualified to hold it!" "
But boss, all the teams that have won world championships have signed up to participate in the e-sports Olympics, including Qingqiu. China's SK2, DSB team, Europe and America's NC team, China's KG team, FX team, the ones that haven't canceled their registrations are all second-rate teams that want to win the S championship." The muscles on
Luo Huade's face twitched. All the world champion teams are participating. How the hell can this be considered a copycat competition without gold content?
A division of the S competition may include several countries, and the rules of the e-sports Olympics are that one country can send three teams. This is simply full of bloodshed. Only the champion selected in this way can truly be called Be the world champion!
"Boss, not only that, but their competition bonuses are also ridiculously high," the female secretary continued to report. "The champion will be rewarded with US$100 million, the runner-up will be rewarded with 50 million US dollars, and the third runner-up will be rewarded with 20 million US dollars, and that is after tax. Ours If you click on the championship reward, after tax is deducted, it will be on the same level as the third place reward!"
"Then add more money!" After thinking for a moment, Luohuad gritted his teeth. The worst he could do was earn hundreds of millions less this year, but in this S competition Our status must not be shaken by this eSports Olympics!
"If the reward standard for champions and runners-up is raised to the same level as them, I don't believe that with the same reward, they will all choose to participate in the S competition!" "
Rist Corporation raised the reward standard for S11, and it is suspected that it will compete with the e-sports Olympic competition. To the end!"
"Good guy, this is a fight with fists!"
"Damn, is there something wrong with their brains? Didn't they do a background check before making decisions? Don't they know who the father of the sponsor of this competition is? ?"
"Mr. Zhang's reservation in advance is a hot search!"
The latest news from Riot Games caused quite a stir, but in China, everyone had the attitude of watching a show. They waited until they spent money. No one in this world can beat that man.
"Boss, Riot Games has increased the bonuses. Should we re-register for S11?"
"That's not necessary!" The owner of a Chinese e-sports club showed an enigmatic smile. "Our players are in very good condition this year. This is good for us." It's a good thing!"
...
"Lao Zhang, have you seen the news? Riot Games has raised the bonus level to the same level as ours. It seems that they are fighting hard this time! "
They can still get this little money," Zhang Menglong said with a smile. As early as five years ago, Riot Games' annual revenue reached more than 1 billion U.S. dollars. Last year's revenue exceeded 2.5 billion U.S. dollars. Remove It is not appropriate to transfer the cost to more than one billion a year.
Although it is painful to take out nearly 200 million bonuses, it is not unaffordable for them!
"Since they want to play, then play with them!" Zhang Menglong said with a smile, "Increase the bonuses for the first, second and third place tenfold, and all participating teams will have their transportation expenses reimbursed, as well as their food and accommodation!"
"What the hell are you doing? What a waste of money!" Wang Ling couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this. Is this a competition? Is this poverty alleviation?
"Anyway, the final bonus is ours," Zhang Menglong said confidently. "As for the transportation, food and accommodation expenses, how much is it?"
Wang Ling seemed to have seen the collapsed expression of the boss of Riot Games.
Ten times the prize pool, that's 1.7 billion US dollars. Their work is equivalent to nothing in one year. Stud is not so ruthless. Can Riot Games follow such a big bet?
Zhang Menglong sneered, "Aren't they going to compete with us? I think they will compete with us with a der."
