277: Section 277

Listening to her words, Wang Mo seemed to be deep in thought.

He looked at Ye Youxue.

“Your King rank seems to be very high, doesn't it?”

During the time he was developing King, Wang Mo also played for a while and often played with Ye Youxue, so he knew this information.

Ye Youxue nodded.

“I’m Star Glare.”

Listening to this, Wang Mo murmured.

“It seems you really like MOBA games.”

Ye Youxue nodded.

“And I think PC MOBA games are more fun, but Dota is just too difficult.”

“If you hadn’t liked playing this game in university, I probably wouldn’t have been able to stick with it.”

Upon hearing this,

Wang Mo couldn't help but murmur.

“Dota’s complexity is indeed not suitable for you.”

“But it’s not like no other games will appear.”

Wang Mo’s last sentence was just a low murmur and was not heard by Ye Youxue.

At this moment, Ye Youxue was preparing to start another game.

However, at this time,

the sound of other Dota players suddenly came from next door.

“Come on, let’s start another one.”

“Wait a minute, I’m watching a match.”

“What’s so good about this match? The players in it aren’t even as skilled as me. Let’s go, let’s go.”

Listening to the voices of others next door, Wang Mo suddenly thought of something.

He looked at Ye Youxue and asked,

“Do you know about esports?”

Ye Youxue was stunned for a moment. Although she didn’t know why Wang Mo was asking this question, she still nodded.

“I know.”

“Isn’t it just some matches organized by players themselves?”

“Every country and every game has them.”

“But these so-called esports matches are generally very niche, with few viewers, and the players’ skills are uneven. Recently, in Yan Country’s Dota esports matches, not a single player from the top ten in the national server participated, and few people watched the matches.”

“And the largest scale for these esports matches is only national level.”

Ye Youxue said what she knew.

Listening to her words, Wang Mo couldn't help but take a deep breath.

“What if,”

“all the top players from a certain game around the world could gather to compete? The entertainment value should be very high, right?”

Upon hearing this,

Ye Youxue nodded.

“The entertainment value should be very high, but it’s uncertain if such matches would have prize money or so many top players participating.”

“For example, in the recent national server Dota matches, not a single person from the top ten in the national server participated.”

After Ye Youxue finished speaking, Wang Mo did not continue to say anything more.

Because he had just remembered that in this world, esports matches were also extremely lacking.

It could even be said that

a complete global esports event simply did not exist in this world.

Take Dota, the most popular competitive game globally right now, for example. Although each country has its own esports events,

they are not interconnected and are spontaneously organized and participated in by players. There is no prize money, and no connection whatsoever with the official game developers. They can be participated in online.

Nor can matches be watched directly within the game.

The esports industry in this world, compared to his previous life, was a niche industry spontaneously organized by gamers. Using “esports” to describe it might even be inappropriate.

Furthermore, all matches were online; there wasn't even a single offline match.

Thinking of this,

Wang Mo took a deep breath and slowly murmured,

“This time, it’s not just a certain software that’s a blue ocean.”

“It’s an entire industry that is in an uncultivated territory.”

“But to develop a large-scale global esports industry, a PC game with sufficient influence is needed.”

“What have you been muttering about?”

“Are you still playing?”

Seeing that Wang Mo hadn't started a new game, Ye Youxue couldn't help but ask.

Wang Mo smiled.

“I was just thinking about something.”

Wang Mo looked at Ye Youxue.

“Don’t you think Dota is too complex?”

“If a simpler, more fun MOBA appeared, would you play it?”

Hearing this, Ye Youxue immediately nodded.

“Of course, I would.”

“It’s just that Dota’s gameplay is already very high-quality.”

“I believe game developers can make a simpler MOBA game, but I’m not very confident they can make a game more fun than Dota.”

Upon hearing this,

Wang Mo smiled and said,

“Don’t worry.”

“If I say there will be, there will be.”

“And after this game comes out, not only will it be more fun than Dota, but its influence will also be far greater than Dota.”

“Especially in terms of esports matches.”

Wang Mo looked at Ye Youxue.

“Do you believe that the esports matches for this game will attract hundreds of millions of viewers each season, and there will be huge offline venues?”

“It will also be able to hold matches directly in top global venues like the Bird’s Nest, just like the Olympics.”

“The top players in this game’s events, their net worth and influence will not be lower than those of traditional sports athletes.”

Listening to Wang Mo’s words,

Ye Youxue’s eyes widened, and her clear pupils were filled with disbelief.

“That’s impossible.”

“How could esports have such a huge influence?”

“Aren’t esports matches always a carnival within a niche circle?”

“And being able to attract hundreds of millions of viewers simultaneously, isn’t that a bit too exaggerated?”

After Ye Youxue finished speaking, Wang Mo smiled.

“It’s not exaggerated.”

“Perhaps in the future, there really will be such a game that can drive the development of the esports industry.”

Listening to Wang Mo’s words, Ye Youxue seemed to suddenly think of something.

Her body leaned towards Wang Mo, and her eyes were a little excited.

“You’ve said so much, Senior.”
