Chapter 320 How can a gambler always lose! All in!
Han Yong rolled his eyes at the look in the eyes of the president of the Neon branch who seemed eager to sell himself for a good price.

A guy who won't do anything without profit.

He had already thought of how to shut these guys up, so after taking a look at who they were, he answered directly:

"Street Fighter, have you heard of this name?"

"Of course!" Hearing these two words, the other party became alert.

In other words, it was these two words that tied the other party firmly to the Tenghai ship.

Neon, e-sports in this area is very special.

In other words, they are not very interested in most of the currently popular e-sports and their strength is very weak.

FPS, RTS, MOBA...

Basically, there is no strong competitiveness.

The most typical example is DFM's performance on MSI. If they hadn't produced an outstanding top laner named Xia Ge, their level would basically be at the bottom.

Even though Fanhua became a small star in Japan at that time, it was mainly due to the handsome guys with unique characteristics in Fanhua and Japan's usual admiration for the strong.

So much so that even though Fanhua became popular, Japan’s lol league failed to become popular.

The main point is a difficult one.

However, there are a very small number of e-sports events that are exceptions.

For example, fighting games are the e-sports events that Japanese people attach the most importance to.

They have devoted extraordinary passion to this category.

So much so that even after the IP of King of Fighters was taken away by Kotick, three generations of extremely bad official games were released in succession, causing dissatisfaction all over the world, and e-sports was almost completely wiped out.

In the Japanese region, the popularity of the Fighting King is actually higher than that of the Glory League.

Therefore, the president of the Neon branch of the e-sports association naturally attaches the highest importance to fighting games.

So, Street Fighter is the bait that they can't miss.

Pei Yunteng also issued an instruction manual for this game, and it is being developed by the original team that developed the King of Fighters. Don't mention how much Japan is looking forward to it.

Many older generation fighting game players who are in their thirties or even forties have expressed their wish to “definitely participate in the competition when Street Fighter is released.”

After all, although DFM's disastrous defeat in League of Legends made many Japanese realize the cruel reality that they are a piece of cake in the field of e-sports,
But when it comes to fighting games, they are really confident that they can win the championship!
"Han Sang, I wonder what stage the development of Street Fighter has reached?" The attitude of the president of the Neon branch suddenly became even friendlier and more humble than before.

The outside world only knew about the game Street Fighter when its development team stood up to denounce Kotick.

The article published by the King of Fighters team at that time was entirely about denouncing Kodick for his misconduct back then, and only briefly mentioned the new project they were developing.

The other materials were not revealed at all.

But just this one thing is enough to make fighting fans all over the world uneasy.

Han Yong sneered in his heart, but his face looked normal: "It's almost time to enter the testing phase."

"I wonder if there are any characters from Japan?" President Neon asked quickly.

After all, Tenghai is a Chinese company, and China is the origin of martial arts.

They want to make a fighting game, so it would be reasonable even if all the characters are Chinese.

But if possible, it would be better to retain one or two Japanese characters, like Walnut in Naraka: Bladepoint.

Although there are not many Japanese Wolf Warriors... no, Sakura Warriors, it is still better for publicity and promotion to have Japanese characters appear.

Han Yong didn't say anything, but directly signaled his subordinates to play a video on the public screen.

"Howl with your heels!" As Long's iconic battle cry rang out, the president of the Neon branch's eyes suddenly widened.

When Pei Yunteng, who was arguably one of the most legendary fighting game characters in his previous life, demonstrated his master-level skills for the first time in this world.

There was only one sentence left in the mind of the president of the Neon branch:

"Stable..."

To the extent that he didn't care that much about the Honda that came later, which had a more Japanese style.

Han Yong laughed secretly in his heart.

These materials were originally given to him by the Street Fighter team so that he could go to the World Electronic Sports Association to attract investment.

As a result, Han Yong used it as a bargaining chip.

After reading it, the president of the Neon branch had no opinions at all.

Just with this short video, Street Fighter has already demonstrated its superb quality as a Tenghai game.

He is simply not comparable to the Fighting King who has already fallen into a lying position.

As for the Jedi Gun God?

I don’t know. Japanese players only know about Naraka: Bladepoint.

Nutella is the cutest in the world!

In the East Asian cultural circle, the cultural identity between each other is much deeper than in other regions. When there is a game like this involving East Asian culture, they will naturally have some bias.

On Neon's side, it was done with such ease.

At the same time, the presidents of other national branches, far from showing any impatience when Han Yong and President Neon were communicating, were becoming more and more expectant.

They also realized that Han Yong came here on behalf of Tenghai to divide the cake among everyone. It was an inducement, not a coercion.

If that’s the case, then it’s easy to say.

The distribution of benefits is clear, and everyone is happy to follow suit.

After Japan, the second country to express its stance was South Korea.

Han Yong didn't use any promotional videos or anything like that this time. He just used four words to make them decisively choose to follow the bet -

E-sports included in the Olympics.

Han Yong is good at making promises. At this stage, the slogan within Tenghai is still about entering the Asian Games, but he dares to call for entering the Olympics.

But it just so happens that this is what the Koreans love the most.

As a country that regards e-sports as its national sport, the e-sports pie is getting bigger and bigger, and its international social status is getting higher and higher, which are direct benefits to them.

If they can qualify for the Asian Games or even the Olympics, the Chinese people will have to celebrate with champagne.

This is equivalent to giving them one or more strong events and several more opportunities to win gold medals.

These are all international status.

When it comes to matters concerning the national system, Koreans have no hesitation about which side to stand on.

If we hesitate for even a second, it would be disrespectful to the Olympics.

As for the teams that cannot compete with China?
What a joke!
The two projects that Koreans attach the most importance to are StarCraft and League of Legends. One has the glory of their ancestors, and the other is backed by chaebols. There is an endless supply of talented young people, and the construction of the competition and training team is also in full swing.

Even though China seems to be in an advantageous position at the moment, the Koreans are confident that they can overtake China within a year.

If everything goes well, they could even overthrow China in the S game at the end of this year.

Not to mention StarCraft, that's South Korea's national sport, and they have masters per capita. The only Chinese player who can play it right now is Xiao Shiqin. How can they compare?
In the field of e-sports, as long as the conditions for a competition are met, Koreans will dare to try to win the championship.

The three East Asian countries were the first to reach a consensus in the field of e-sports.

Other countries and regions followed closely behind. The advantage of Tenghai's comprehensive game categories and perfect competition system lies here. Basically, they have taken care of the strong e-sports projects in most countries;
For example, many countries in Europe attach great importance to CSGO e-sports, and the European server is also one of the highest-level servers in the world.

The league has just started to be formed and they don't want to give up halfway.

Others, such as those who focus on Eternal Tribulation, those who focus on League of Legends... and so on.

Unknowingly, the e-sports interest circle surrounding Tencent and Tencent Esports has quietly taken shape.

With better options, they no longer need to follow Kodick to drink soup.

At the end of the meeting, Han Yong concluded with a smile: "If the old does not go, the new will not come."

"Our president, Kodick, picked up a promising e-sports project by chance and wanted to make a comeback."

“It’s time for him to understand what the new era of e-sports is!”

……

Therefore, in such an atmosphere, Jedi Gun God continued his diarrhea-like publicity.

Indeed, many people feel confused when watching this game.

I have to say, EC Studio is quite technical.

At least the first glance of the Jedi Gun God scene looks acceptable.

As for the mechanism, it is difficult for non-professional game players to tell the pros and cons at a glance.

In the actual game demonstration screen, the scene of players holding guns and shooting passionately in houses hundreds of meters apart still looks very attractive.

Therefore, during this period, the discussion about Jedi Gun God in various countries has been quite strong.

But while there is a lot of good news, bad news also comes one after another.

The first is the issue of review.

Although there is no hope for the domestic market, EC still sent the game to China for review as usual. What if it passes?
But within a few days, the result came out: But!

But at the same time, the e-sports push that Codick had been promoting heavily also started off badly.

Chapters in China, Japan, South Korea, Japan, France, and other countries jointly submitted a letter requesting to observe the performance of Jedi Gun God after its launch before considering the issue of e-sports.

The reason was that they had not won the previous Glory Resurrection Tournament, which had dealt a heavy blow to all the branches.

They can't stand this kind of torture again, so we have to give them some time to breathe, right?
Kotick was filled with hatred.

How much did you make from which leagues? How could I not know?

Are you basically planning to completely lean towards that side?

Although he hated it, there wasn't much that Kodick could do.

With his current strength, he is unable to do much to reorganize the association.

Fortunately, there are still many branches willing to follow him.

In this way, the next plan can still go forward.

When the Jedi Gun God makes achievements and regains his past glory, they will know who is the right person to follow.

For now, just be patient.

Just like that, amidst the outside world's discussions and the industry's standing idly by, the Jedi Gun God finally had his moment of going online.

I have to admit that judging from the popularity alone, the potential of this game is indeed terrifying.

On the first day of the launch, the number of simultaneous online users on the Steam platform alone exceeded one million, and is still increasing rapidly.

It definitely has the potential to be a phenomenal game.

You know, the maximum number of concurrent online users of Naraka: Bladepoint on the Steam platform is currently less than two million.

I can only say that shooting games have a much wider audience than martial arts games.

The dream start that Cotick had been longing for finally came.

At the same time, in China, Sun Xiang’s live broadcast room.

"CT camp wins!"

As Sun Xiang's music box began to play, the game ended. Sun Xiang leaned back in his chair with satisfaction: "It's over!"

After stretching himself, he thought for a moment: "How about a little robbery?"

After all, they haven't started the game yet, so the pressure is not as great as that of the LOL club next door. Sun Xiang is a big anchor, and if he controls the situation well, it won't be a big deal to do a robbery occasionally.

Sun Xiang skillfully exited CSGO and opened Naraka: Bladepoint, chatting with his fans in the barrage.

It was quite harmonious at the beginning, but as Naraka: Bladepoint gradually loaded, some eye-catching comments began to appear in the live broadcast room.

"If the streamer wants to play Battle Royale, why not play Gunslinger? They are both shooting games, so they should be more compatible with the streamer, right?"

It would have been fine if there was only one, but the key was that they came in large numbers, at least a dozen, and quickly set the pace in the live broadcast room.

For ordinary audiences, unless the official says so, they rarely pay attention to the rhythm of the game.

Of course, this does not apply to some humanoid creatures who are quick to anger.

They only know that the Jedi Gun God seems to be a hot topic recently, and people are mentioning this name everywhere, but they don’t know how many inside stories are there.

I saw someone mentioned it, so I followed it without thinking.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Sun Xiang's eyes.

I was picked on.

If it were the old Sun Xiang, he would have been furious by now.

But after being a streamer for such a long time, his growth has been huge, so he is not in a hurry and laughs: "Jedi, that game is locked in China, it has not passed the review in China, what can I do..."

Originally, if I said this, I would have shown that I was sensible and would not bother her any more.

But I don’t know whether the other party has received money or not, but he still won’t give in: If the domestic area is locked, wouldn’t it be better to turn on the accelerator and go to other areas?
Sun Xiang patiently said, "It's fine if it's private, but I'm live streaming now, so I can't do that."

In order to prove the truth of his words, he added: "If you don't believe me, look at other well-known anchors, especially those professional players' live broadcast rooms. How many of them broadcast Jedi Gun God?"

The anchors are not fools when it comes to making a living on the live streaming platform owned by Tencent Hai.

Without any organization, they spontaneously decided that they would never broadcast Jedi unless the official took the lead.

So Sun Xiang was confident that it would be difficult for them to find any famous anchor on Xianyu Live.

But soon, his confidence was shattered.

"But anchor, I clearly saw another anchor broadcasting Jedi Gunslinger, it was very popular!"

"And they are professional players! They have even won awards!"

Seeing this comment, Sun Xiang's eyes froze.

No, there are people who actually play it? And they are professional players?

In the domestic environment, at this time, should we openly stand with Codick?
This is a all-in bet on your career!

Who is so bold?
　Second update, that’s all for tonight.

　　good night.
