Global monopoly of technology

Two days later, the WRPO organizing committee once again disclosed the latest news to the outside world, and the announcement spread to the entire e-sports circle in less than one or two hours. You must know that the e-sports circle in the mainland is always staring at the WRPO group. Committee, as soon as there is a new news, it will spread as soon as possible.

A lot of news was announced this time. Firstly, it was revealed that 12 events were added to the first WRPO competition in 2008, and secondly, the club league rules under the WRPO system were announced.

As soon as the news came out, the global e-sports clubs were in an uproar and were all excited.

The key lies in its revenue sharing. According to the information disclosed by the organizing committee, the profits of WRPO events, including event tickets, sponsorships, game built-in props, etc., can be shared by clubs and players under the WRPO system.

Simply put, everyone is a person on the same boat, and the income of the entire WRPO is deeply tied to everyone. The higher the overall income, the higher the income distributed by all parties.

A large group entered the market to integrate the entire e-sports ecosystem, and it turned out to be extraordinary, and it was the first time that such a complete commercial model was made.

According to the information disclosed by WRPO, there will be open bids for 12 seats in the four major divisions except the card divisions worldwide, for a total of 48 league seats.

Clubs can only register in their respective competition areas and can only contest seats in their respective competition areas. The bidding prices are also different.

This year’s seat bidding starts at a low price. The bidding price for a seat in the Greater China region starts at 5 million per year. The European and American regions are both at $2.2 million per year, and the Korean area is at $1.9 million per year.

As long as they get the joint qualification of WRPO, the club can play all competitions in the WRPO system, whether it is Starcraft, Warcraft, or CS, there is no need to buy additional seats for these events.

In order to ensure the healthy and stable development of the WRPO alliance ecology, the seats can be comprehensively evaluated for the clubs that join the alliance to meet the qualifications of the seats to ensure that all alliance members can continue to operate and develop in a healthy and sustainable way, and make continuous progress with the entire WRPO system.

The evaluation criteria are mainly:

The shareholders and structure of the club and its parent company: for example, whether the equity of the club and the parent company is clear.

The financial status of the club: whether there is sufficient investment, stable sources of funds, whether the past financial situation is relatively stable, whether there is sufficient financial emergency capability, etc.

Club operation: brand influence and brand building ability, business operation ability, fit with the overall operation of the alliance, etc.

Team management: competitive structure and abilities, player training and training, past violation records, past team results, problems with the circulation of players between clubs, etc.

According to the above four criteria, after a comprehensive evaluation, existing clubs that meet the evaluation criteria and clubs that meet the qualification admission through seat bidding will be awarded the WRPO joint qualification after the delivery of the "security deposit".

Clubs that do not meet the standards will not be able to enter the league system or participate in competitions under the WRPO system, but it does not mean that they will never be allowed to enter. The organizing committee will also take corresponding measures to help these clubs.

In the future, as the WRPO alliance continues to develop, the seats will continue to expand.

The organizing committee released this announcement. South Korea is the most active. Without him, one "StarCraft" project is enough. In this competition, the Koreans currently have almost absolute dominance. It is said that the 32 best interstellar pro players in the world are all Koreans.

The clubs under the KeSAP system, such as Samsung, SKT1, CJ, and KT, are the owners of good money, and the capital behind them are all large Korean companies.

The "margin" for bidding seats is not cheap, but there is no financial pressure for these South Korean clubs. According to the information disclosed by the WRPO alliance system, a complete set of commercial operations is worth looking forward to, plus Luo Sheng’s 15 The investment budget of 100 million US dollars is the biggest guarantee.

Regardless of whether the Koreans accept it or not, WCG is now overnight, from the Olympic Games known as e-sports, the industry benchmark has become a third-party event that earns WRPO points in the eyes of many clubs and professional players.

That's right, WRPO has certified the WCG event, that is, recognized.

This does not require WCG approval or disapproval, because professional players are admitted, as long as WRPO unilaterally approves them, and the ranking of players in WCG events will be counted according to the corresponding points.

Therefore, in the current WCG competition, professional players have achieved results in this event, and WRPO will calculate his points based on their results. The top three players in the competition zone can participate in the WRPO annual finals.

This rule is to let the players play diligently, and secondly, they must have strength, because the championship points are always the highest, and the points with high gold content are also the highest.

No surprises, South Korean e-sports clubs have participated in the bidding for the qualification of 12 seats in the local division, and it is the most fierce competition for joint qualification among the four major divisions.

Without him, there are too many e-sports clubs in South Korea. There are more than 12 first-tier clubs in the "StarCraft" SPL league alone, such as KT, Samsung, CJ, and SKT.

Because of the WRPO seat, it will also cause problems in the circulation of professional players under the major clubs. If the club does not qualify for the seat, the top player under its contract will not renew with you when the contract expires, but will choose to enter Go to a club that can play WRPO games.

This is another reason for the fierce competition for WRPO joint qualifications in South Korea.

In comparison, the domestic e-sports circle saw the latest news released by WRPO, but it was mixed.

The good news is that the entry of Bluestar Technology Group has integrated the entire e-sports industry, making this field more standardized, standardized, systematized, and mature. If it succeeds, Bluestar Technology is the biggest beneficiary, and all e-sports There is no doubt that all practitioners are beneficiaries.

What is worrying is the qualifications of the WRPO league seats. According to the disclosed information, the four major evaluation standards are used for evaluation. There is no domestic e-sports club that can meet the league standards.

Among other things, the bidding for the starting seat "guarantee" of up to 5 million can shut out the nation's existing e-sports clubs.

...

A few days later, a QQ group is still discussing this matter. The members of the group are basically the big players in the e-sports circle, the big gods in the eyes of the players.

[@All members, have you read the latest news released by WRPO?]

[Look.]

[Watched early.]

[It's a big group after all. Once we enter the field, we will integrate the norms, and then look at the team we are engaged in... It's almost the same as playing.]

[Nonsense, Bluestar Technology enters the market, the richest man in the country is supporting it, can you not be professional?]

[Teams without joint qualifications are not eligible to enter WRPO system competitions...]

[It’s a club, a team is a team, don’t confuse the affiliation.]

[The starting joint qualification deposit of 5 million yuan, WE can't spend so much money, other clubs don't need to mention it.]

[We have obtained the joint qualification in WE.]

[Fuck, Ge Ge is here?]

[Sky bubbling... what?WE got the joint qualification?]

[Fuck it? Really?]

[Sky: Yes, you may not believe it. People from Dell came to the WE base to find me and said that they wanted to sponsor our club. That was a big deal. We were all stupid...]

[How much does Dell sponsor?]

[Sky: Directly opened a sponsorship fee of 8.5 million a year, signed a total of 17 million for two years, and also provided WE with Dell's peripherals. Computers and everything use their brands, and Dell provides hardware for free.]

[Let me go, 17 million real or fake?]

[Sky: Haha, to be honest, I can't believe it now.]

[Six Six Six...]

[Guy cheats, is this the strength of the double crown?]

[xiaoT: WE has also been sponsored?What a coincidence?wNv also received a sponsorship fee. Coca-Cola sponsored our team for 13.5 million. It was also signed for two years. However, the club is required to get the WRPO contact qualification, and WE should be like this.]

[Sky: Yes, the Dell company that sponsored us also has such a request. It seems that the WRPO competition is very successful. These sponsors are suddenly so popular, and it must be directly related to the emergence of WRPO.]

[I think it also has a lot to do with Bluestar Technology Group. Maybe these big groups are selling Bluestar Technology's face?]

[Bluestar Technology Group has really completely changed the entire e-sports circle. Without the support of technology giants like Luo Sheng, these capitals would not be swarming. I even think that a lot of capital may be selling Luo Sheng's face.]

[Sky: Anyway, the whole circle has benefited, which is a good thing.]

[Fuck, wNv is also sponsored?]

[xiaoT: As far as I know, in addition to wNv and WE, the EHOME club has also been sponsored. It seems that the sponsor is Sprite. It has also been signed for more than 10 million sponsorships for two years. I don’t know about other teams. .]

[Six Six Six... The best era in the gaming circle is coming.]
