ps: I originally wanted to update more during the National Day, but my arms bleed again, which was too damaging to enthusiasm.:

Tomorrow should be better, try to recover two updates as early as possible.

After the Nets and the Heat's game, Ji Guomomoto ran to his live broadcast room and spent 20 minutes to broadcast a game of lol.

Generally speaking, Ji Guomo's plays a set of lols basically no more than 20 minutes. Nearly one million viewers around the world witnessed Ji Guomo's scolding by his teammates after giving up n's heads. Then Ji Guomo accidentally revealed a piece of news that the prize pool of the first "Lol International Invitational Tournament" has exceeded 2.5 million US dollars!

This news has also received a lot of doubts in China. Currently, the total prize money of WCG is only 500,000 US dollars, and even with many sponsors, all competition events have so many prizes combined. Therefore, a "League of Legends" that has been publicly beta for less than half a year can actually generate a prize amount of 2.5 million US dollars. Many veteran players and clubs feel unbelievable, and even foreign clubs cannot believe this prize amount.

But believe it or not, the "online qualifiers" of various countries have already ended. The winning teams participated in the "offline qualifiers" held in their own country at the end of October. The competition has also ended. The winning teams have already held offline competitions on various continents in early November. At that time, 16 professional teams will be selected from the five continents around the world to participate in the first "lol International Invitational".

Maohu Game intends to hold this competition into a World Cup in the game field. If you want to participate in the final "lol International Invitational", you need to go through many tests. You must first break through the "online peripheral competition" of various countries and obtain the qualification to participate in the "offline qualifiers" in China, then obtain the qualification to participate in the "intercontinental qualifiers" of various continents, and finally the "lol International Invitational".

There are some problems here. The quotas of the "intercontinental qualifiers" owned by countries are different. Cat Fox Game allocates the quotas based on the ladder points of players from various countries. Now domestic players account for 40% of the global players of Lol. The ladder points are much higher than other countries, so China has more quotas to participate in the "intercontinental qualifiers". At the same time, Asian players account for half of the global lol players, and the ladder points are also higher than other continents. The last 16 teams participating in the "lol International Invitational" are more quotas than other continents.

If you want to participate in the "lol International Invitational", you must get the highest ranking in the "Intercontinental Qualifiers". For example, in the Asian region, there will be 4 places to directly participate in the "lol International Invitational" this year, as well as 4 names to participate in the wild card competition.

This means that the teams that end up winning the top 4 in the "Asian Qualifiers" will directly qualify for the "Lol International Invitational" competition. Teams that are ranked 5th to 8th will also have to compete in wild card matches with other teams that have won in the continent.

In the first "Lol International Invitational", there will be 10 teams on each continent that will directly enter the main competition, and there will be 16 teams that need to conduct a wild card match held in Los Angeles to determine the last 6 places.

Ordinary players also have the opportunity to participate in this competition. As long as they set up a team in the game, try to improve the members' ladder points, and meet the conditions, they can participate in the "online qualifiers" in the game area where the team is located. If the team is really strong enough, they can enter the "China Online qualifiers" after passing the level, followed by the "China Offline qualifiers" and finally the "Asian qualifiers".

Cat Fox Games is also worried that the conditions will be too wide. There will be too many teams participating in the competition and they cannot organize them in the end, so the set ladder points requirements are very high, and any ID card with a cheating record cannot participate in any competition. In this way, the teams qualified to participate in their respective game regional qualifiers will be less than a thousand in China.

Many teams are dissatisfied with such high participation requirements, but these complaints make no sense. If the points are insufficient, it means that the team level is limited or the game time is insufficient. Such a team has no future to participate in the competition, and they cannot even make the offline competition in the Chinese region. This way, it is not interesting to participate in the competition. It is better to focus on entertainment. Becoming a professional player is not that easy.

In the "Asian Qualifiers" that will be held soon, one-third of the 32 participating teams are Korean teams. The remaining one-third are Chinese teams, and 6 of the top ten teams in the global team ladder list are in these two countries, so the excitement of the Asian Qualifiers may not be lower than the final main competition.

The current prize pool size has reached 2.55 million US dollars, and the cumulative prize pool deadline is at the end of November.

As the prize pool continues to increase, the bonus distribution plan of Cat Fox Game is also constantly adjusting. According to the current bonus distribution plan, all participating teams will have bonuses to get, and the teams that will finally win the top eight will have a considerable bonus income.

Champion 40%: $1.02 million.

Runner-up 15%: $382,000.

Third place 10%: $255,000.

The Palace Army 7%: $178,500.

Fifth to eighth 4%: $10.2.

Ninth to twelfth 2%: $51,000.

Thirteenth to sixteenth percentile: US$25,500.

This is the amount of prize money that all participating teams can receive based on the current prize pool size. If compared with competitions like NBA, it will naturally be a lot worse, but it is a pioneer in e-sports competitions.

In the competition, the team that won the first place will have a revenue of one million US dollars, and the team that entered the top eight will also have a revenue of at least one hundred thousand US dollars, and the prize pool is still growing. Many media are speculating that the prize pool may eventually exceed 3 million in the last month.

Cat Fox Games doesn't worry about this now. Their agent "World of Tanks" will be in internal testing in mid-November and is now being promoted in Asia.

This alternative PVP game developed by Belarus' Warga Ming Company was taken over by two brothers last year as an agent in China.

The two brothers later acquired 55% of the company's shares like they acquired Japanese games. In fact, they have now taken over this game company that likes to make planes, tanks, and warships, and are responsible for the operation of the entire Asian region.

Although "World of Tanks" is not as crazy as Lol in China, the money-making ability of this game is not worse than Lol. In the future, the per capita consumption capacity of this game is even ranked first in the world. If it is operated well, it will not make less than Lol.

Warga fans are much more valuable than the Japanese games that produced "League of Legends". Japanese games were just a small company on the verge of bankruptcy and could be easily handled. However, this Belarusian game company has become a bit famous in the industry. Although it is not a big company around the world, it has always been well operated, and the boss has his own ideas, so it is much more difficult to acquire such a company.

If it was two years later, it would be difficult for them to acquire this company. After making a lot of money in China, "World of Tanks" became a world-class game production company. Fortunately, World of Tanks has not become popular in China, and the two brothers dragged the game and did not promote it. They just wanted to get the company and then run it.

The founder of Warga Ming is not willing to sell the company completely, but Maohu Games finally received 55% of the shares and successfully became the company's major shareholder.

Maohu Games has now become the major shareholder of Warga Fang, but it will not interfere too much in the operation of this company. However, Warga Fang's future development direction will still be controlled by Maohu Games.

This game company will then become a game company specializing in the production of war pvp and military strategy, which will make it easier for Cat Fox Games to control it.

Originally, Warga fans were in this direction. The boss of this company is a loyal player in these two types of games. In the future, they will launch a type of game such as "Warship World", "Warcraft World" and other games.

After acquiring Warga Fans, Cat Fox Game will soon have the ability to develop stand-alone games with World War II themes. Next, the project to develop a level 3A shooting game with anti-Japanese themes should also be put on the agenda.

In the past two years, Maohu Games has developed too rapidly, and has acquired many game studios and has many ongoing projects. Industry insiders believe that such expansion is not a good thing.

Maohu Games started out with mobile games, but now it still monopolizes nearly half of the global market share. However, now they have more and more competitors, and the global mobile game market is becoming more and more popular. Every day, new studios are established and new works are becoming more and more. Even companies like Blizzard have come in and intervened, so Maohu Games' market share will naturally decrease.

However, in terms of profit, the "mobile game department" of Cat Fox Games still stands out for the most powerful players and has a strong voice within the company. Mobile games such as "Angry Birds", "Plant vs. Zombies", "Isaac's Combination", "Fruit Ninja", "Temple Escape", "Tom Cat", and "Candy Legend" under Cat Fox Games account for 50% of the global mobile game revenue. In other words, half of the money is earned by Cat Fox Games.

Although the mobile game "Cathu Game" has been declining in terms of market share, its revenue has not decreased. On the contrary, with the huge sales of "Candy Legend", the mobile game department of "Cathu Game" is expected to have a net profit of more than US$1.2 billion in 2010. Most of these profits have been reinvested by Ji Guoqiu to new games, as well as the establishment and merger of new studios.

With the amazing profits brought by the mobile game department, "Cathu Game" has been poaching checks from major game companies since last year. Companies such as GPang and EA are all victims of "Cathu Game".

At the beginning of 10 years, Cat Fox Games acquired an unknown hidden path entertainment studio, and then dug up some people from the V club and set up a new studio to secretly develop a shooting game.

V Club is very dissatisfied with this, but this kind of poaching behavior is not much news in the industry, and Cat Fox Games has not done anything that affects the rules of the game.

Hidden path entertainment, a small studio that was acquired, no one cared about. However, GPang was very concerned about people who resigned from his company. These people had either participated in the development of half a life and survived, or were elites who were good at developing engines. Cat Fox Games dug up these people, and there was no need to guess what the purpose was. GPang felt that the two animals must have liked his engine.

"Don't they want to develop Half-Life 3?" G Fat thought this way, and even laughed, and then silently locked a bastard who laughed at him for not counting 3 in the forum and locked him in the dark room.

Logically speaking, if you want to develop a second-generation engine, the role of a few people will be limited. This is not the era when a few people can develop a game engine more than ten years ago.

But if these people are used in key places, they might really play a decisive role.

So after this happened, G Fat was suspicious all day long, and almost couldn't help but develop "Half-Life 3". However, he still couldn't learn this "3" in the end. It seemed that the stimulation was not great enough. However, G Fat quickly looked at his own employees, so don't let foxes or pandas continue to poach people. In the end, if they really steal the soure2 engine they are developing, then G Fat wouldn't feel sorry for him.

G Fat guessed correctly, and the two brothers really set their sights on his "original engine".

If Maohu Game wants to develop 3A masterpieces, it must develop its own game engine, and this plan has been underway. Maohu Games is not short of money. They not only poach people in the V community, but also their goal is to develop the dice game studio that develops the "Frost Engine" and the Nume Day De Private GN Li Fan Ted Company that develops the "Gamebryo Engine".

Now this second-generation engine named "Cat Fox" has reached a critical stage. The first game developed using this engine is a shooting competitive game that plagiarized CSSG in advance, with the internal code name "Opening the Box".

At the beginning of its design, the "Cathu Engine" paid special attention to the flexibility of the engine. They did not intend to develop multiple engines for different types of games. It is enough to have a truly useful engine. Ji Guocho even requires that this engine be used across platforms, can develop PC games, console games, and mobile games.

The feature of "Cathu Engine" is that it can meet the needs of various games and platforms with just a little modification. This will be a universal engine.

They poached people from the V Society in order to improve the physical characteristics of the "Cat Fox Engine". Everyone knows that the physical effect of the "original engine" is the flexibility of the industry's ebryo engine. It is the best choice for creating huge sandbox games.

In addition to these three companies, Maohu Games has dug the most talents from Germany's crytek company. It can be said that this company is their biggest victim.

The strength of this German company is far less than that of VS and EA. To put it bluntly, it is easy to bully. So Maohu Games poached a lot of people in this company, and "Cathu Engine" has also learned a lot of experience from "Isolated Island Engine", especially in terms of picture effects, light and shadow systems, and maps, which are exactly the same as the Isolated Island Engine, all of which have amazing water surface, vegetation effects and real-time dynamic lighting. In addition, the destruction system of the "Frost Engine", the physical system of the "Origin Engine", and the flexibility of the "Gamebryo Engine", in the words of Ji Guomeng, this is a four-dimensional appearance.

Ji Guohuo was very surprised. Why did the Dead Panda have to build such an engine? However, considering the masterpieces made with various mobile game engines in the past life, it seems that they can understand Ji Guohuo's stubbornness at this moment. This guy has an unreasonable obsession with making 3A masterpieces by the Chinese.

Ji Guochou really has an excessive persistence towards "game", and he almost formed resentment. He wanted to beat G-fat to death, then buy V-soc, and then buy Blizzard, Ubisoft and other things into his own bowl. Ji Guomo felt that he was simply careless.

EA has been laying off employees in recent years. The studios they cut down have been wave after wave, and in the end, many of them were taken over by Giant Panda. Many people outside laughed at him for being stupid because Cat Fox Games often seem to be not for profit at all. In the eyes of many people, this company does not do business at all.

But Ji Guoqiu didn't care about that much. For example, he took most of the studio that EA developed the "Medal of Honor" and especially the group of people who developed the "Airborne Forces" in the past few years, he brought them over.

The "Medal of Honor" series was originally evenly matched with the "Call of Duty" series, but with the release of the fourth Modern Warfare of Call of Duty, the Medal of Honor series began to decline, and now it is already dying on the back of Call of Duty.

But in fact, the quality of this game is definitely not worse than that of Call of Duty. Unfortunately, there are too many World War II-themed games, and players are almost playing and vomiting, so many innovative ideas of this game are dragged down by the overall theme and have not received the rewards they deserve.

Ea is becoming less and less a thing now. From a conscientious company, it has gradually become a cheating company that only recognizes money. If the game cannot make money, they immediately disbanded most of the production team. These people are now accepted by Cat Fox Games.

There are quite a lot of games being developed by Maohu Games. In terms of mobile games, they are working hard to produce "Horde War" and "Plant vs. Zombies 2". However, due to the insufficient performance of mobile phones, these two games will not be released in 2011. The next generation of Maohu Technology's mobile phones can run these two games perfectly.

In terms of stand-alone, the progress of "Zhu Xian" developed by "Gamebryo Engine" of Fallout 3 has reached 30%.

This game, Ji Guoqiu is preparing to make it into the Chinese version of the Elder Scrolls, and it is completed in three-part, so the progress is much slower.

Ji Guoqiu will never sacrifice the overall quality of the game to catch up with the progress. On the contrary, he pursues game quality. If time is not enough, you can postpone it, and if development funds are not enough, you can add it, but the game quality must be enough.

Maohu Game specially selected about 200 people from various departments and studios to set up a new studio, which specializes in the development of the "Zhu Xian" series. (This number of people refers to the time when the number of people is the largest, it is impossible for a game to be developed to have 200 people participating all the time, and so many people are not required at most stages)
