317: Section 317

But not long after he officially got his hands on it, his previous doubts vanished completely.

At this moment, A Shui’s friend had also finally finished his game of Dota.

“A Shui, I’m done. How are things on your end? After trying this game, you should understand the difference between it and Dota, right?”

“I’ve already finished one game. Are you coming?”

Listening to the voice from next door, A Shui directly shook his head.

“No, I’m not coming.”

“I’m afraid I won’t be playing Dota anymore after this.”

Hearing this, the person was stunned.

He had never expected A Shui to say such a thing after only playing for an hour; wasn't that a bit too exaggerated?

The next second, this person also directly looked at A Shui’s screen, wanting to see what this game was really like.

“There are no trees, and no complex skill mechanics or operations. Is this game really that fun?”

After a few glances, the person couldn’t help but question.

So he only watched A Shui from the side for a few moments and didn’t try it himself, thus he couldn’t truly experience the fun of League of Legends.

A Shui, on the other hand, smiled.

“Let me just put it this way,” A Shui looked at his friend.

“Although I only played two games just now, I can already conclude that this game surpassing Dota is only a matter of time!”

Meanwhile, as A Shui was playing League of Legends, many other players participating in the closed beta were also immersed in the game.

After playing a few games, all the first batch of testers almost came to the same conclusion: this brand new MOBA game has huge potential!

This game is not a clumsy imitation of Dota, and it is slightly different from all other MOBA games on the market, having completely forged its own path.

Most importantly, although this game looks much simpler than Dota, it requires no less precision in many decisions and details.

Furthermore, because the learning curve for this game is much lower than Dota, most of the closed beta players have already roughly figured out the game’s mechanics in a short period of time.

Under such circumstances, everyone discovered that this game almost completely surpasses Dota in every aspect.

The enhanced kill feedback gave this game a more exaggerated sense of satisfaction.

And because there are far fewer complex operations and content, players can focus more on laning and killing, and the various details and graphics within the game also completely overwhelm Dota.

Therefore, even though this was only the first day of the game’s closed beta, all players’ game time had already reached a quite exaggerated level.

Almost all players who got their hands on this game played at least two or three matches that day; this number is already quite exaggerated in the MOBA game field.

However, although the first batch of closed beta players’ ratings of the game were indeed quite good, due to the small number of these players, their voices were weak.

Therefore, at first, this game did not receive much attention, and there wasn’t even a trending topic on the day of the closed beta.

Regarding this situation, Wang Mo, from within Junzi Group, had no worries whatsoever.

Because he knew very well that as time passed, when more and more players with closed beta qualifications logged into the game, the game’s reputation would no longer be able to be concealed.

It should be noted that on the very first day the game’s closed beta began, the number of players who logged in to try the game was only one-tenth of the number of test codes distributed!

In other words, most players with test qualifications had not yet logged into the game for various reasons.

Because the test qualifications were randomly distributed among all pre-registered players, many players without computers could not log in immediately after receiving the test codes.

Most internet cafes do not have this game yet, so players going to internet cafes have to download it themselves.

These two situations combined led to the current low number of closed beta players.

However, this situation will not last long.

Junzi Group has already begun contacting major internet cafes, and the League of Legends closed beta client will be available in major internet cafes on the second day.

By then, once most of the closed beta players officially enter the game, the reputation of League of Legends will completely spread.

What League of Legends lacks least now is time.

Chapter 242: Understanding the New Game, Penguin’s Misjudgment!

Noon on the second day of the League of Legends closed beta.

Inside Penguin Group, in the PC Game Department, in a certain room, ten figures were fully immersed in the game in front of them.

The screen on their computers was not Dota, which is acting by Penguin Group, but another completely different game.

Behind these people, several high-ranking officials from Penguin Group, including Pony Ma, had already been waiting there.

“One push, one push! We can end it now.”

As someone’s voice emerged from the field, the blue team, after wiping out the opposing team, finally pushed down the enemy’s crystal in one go and won the game.

The game they had just played was League of Legends, which had just started its closed beta yesterday.

And these ten people who had just finished a game of League of Legends were all top-tier experts ranked in the top thirty of Dota’s ladder.

Before the League of Legends closed beta began, Penguin had already contacted them, preparing to have them come to Penguin to test the game after the League of Legends closed beta, to see if this game could threaten Dota’s existence.

After all, this game belongs to Junzi Group, so they had to take it seriously no matter what.

As for closed beta qualifications, the wealthy Penguin Group could naturally easily find ten closed beta codes.

And since this morning, these top Dota players have already played several games of League of Legends.

Pony Ma only entered the room shortly after this game began.

Upon seeing this game end, Pony Ma also eagerly went up to them.

“Everyone, you’ve played several games of this game since this morning.”

“What are your thoughts on this game?”

“How does the fun of this game compare to Dota? In your opinion, is there a possibility of it threatening Dota?”

Previously, Pony Ma hadn’t paid too much attention to League of Legends.

The task of testing this game was also handed over to his subordinates, but after the League of Legends closed beta yesterday, he specifically paid attention to the game communities on various platforms and ultimately found that the game’s reputation seemed a bit too exaggerated.
