Chapter 328: The holographic projection competition
Furthermore, after entering Season 2 and Season 3,’fist’ basically maintained this high-speed update state, steadily updating a new champion every two to one months. There were also some classic Champions such as Lee Sin, Orianna, and Zed.
It was because of this high update speed that League of Legends was able to maintain its appeal to the players, and its popularity continued to increase.
In Chen Mo’s previous life, Overwatch’s popularity had dropped, partly because of its slow updates. It only updated a new hero and a new map every half a year, which was not enough to satisfy the needs of the players.
Of course, different types of games would have different difficulties in creating heroes, and the speed required to create heroes would also be different. However, the problem was that the players didn’t care about the difficulty of the game. They only cared about the speed of the update and whether there was new content to play.
The updates were too slow? “Bye, I’m going to play other games.”
As such, Chen Mo was very concerned about the speed of the new heroes ‘updates. To him, speed was the most important.
It was a good thing that developing new heroes was relatively easy. After determining the hero’s image, skills, and numerical strength, developing new heroes was no more than an assembly line project, and Chen Mo didn’t have to keep an eye on it.
The game could only get on the right track faster if the number of heroes was quickly spread out. When the number of heroes reached about 100, this speed could be slowed down.
……
Other than that, they were also preparing for the International Version of League of Legends.
League of Legends had basically crushed COG in the country. Even if COG made adjustments in time, it was almost impossible to overtake League of Legends.
......
But in the International market, the players had yet to experience the fun of League of Legends. If COG beat them to it, it would be bad for Chen Mo’s future plans.
Although League of Legends would still capture the majority of the players even at night, being a step slower would result in a group of die-hard fans for COG, which was an unnecessary loss for Chen Mo.
Therefore, Chen Mo had been urging meteorite technology to finish the overseas version as soon as possible.
With the experience from Warcraft and Diablo, it wasn’t difficult to make the International Version of League of Legends.
Especially in League of Legends, there weren’t that many lines and plots, and there wasn’t a need to be careful with the words, so it was much easier to do.
It was expected that the multi-language version of League of Legends would be completed by the end of April at the earliest, and it would be released in various countries and regions.
However, unlike Warcraft and Diablo, the server requirements this time were much higher. According to Chen Mo’s request, if the server delay was limited to within 10ms, it would be impossible to create the same server across the world, and they would have to set up the server by region.
Even in terms of the network speed of the parallel world, making a global server within 10 ms was too fantasy.
Moreover, Chen Mo didn’t plan on making a global server, this was for Future Strategic Planning.
In terms of setting up the server, Chen Mo first considered three areas: The American, European, and Korean servers. These three regions had the most players, and their gaming skills and financial ability were good. They were the three regions that needed to be considered.
The division competition zone would have some influence, such as the lack of communication between the divisions, different tactical preferences, and the widening of the gap in strength.
Chen Mo’s previous life was a good example. The division system caused the teams in the different divisions to lack communication, which led to the gap between the different divisions. Every year in the S series World Tournament, the divisions would reveal their true colors, and it was difficult to stimulate the players to feel the glory of the division.
In the competition area, it was a fight between the gods and they felt good about themselves. Once they revealed their true colors in the world competition, they would be crushed by the other competition areas. This was really sad for the players.
However, there were many benefits to this. The biggest benefit was that they could hide the strength of the major divisions. On the one hand, it ensured the popularity of the local league, and on the other hand, it gave players some anticipation before the world competition started.
It was precisely because everyone was not clear about the strength of the competition before the start of the World competition that they had a sense of anticipation.
As for the Korean server’s rule over LOL in Chen Mo’s previous life, there were many complicated factors involved. There were problems with the characteristics of League of Legends itself, the esports industry, club management, and the overall environment.
Chen Mo also hoped to change the game’s characteristics so that each division could present their own characteristics, instead of unifying the world with one playstyle.
Of course, this was a story for the future. First, he had to make League of Legends popular around the world.
……
In the experience store.
The PC experience area had almost been completely occupied by League of Legends, and there were very few players who played other games.
Moreover, the entire PC experience area was very lively, just like the internet cafes in his previous life. There were players shouting everywhere.
“Beat this demoness to death!”
“Teemo is in the grass. He doesn’t dare to move. Kill him!”
[Hahaha, I’ve outdone the Vagabond!]
“Save me!”
Although it was a little noisy, it was fine as long as the players were happy. Moreover, when the entire PC area was noisier, there was a honey-like atmosphere, which made everyone particularly high.
The holographic projection area on the second floor of the experience store was even more popular than the PC experience area on the first floor.
The earliest audience had already surrounded the holographic projector, while the later ones had taken the seats next to it and the massage chairs in the mobile experience area. Those who were later could only stand at the entrance and watch.
It was all because Chen Mo had announced that there would be a League of Legends match in the holographic projection area.
Many players had seen the holographic projector, and it was very interesting. But playing League of Legends with the holographic projector? He really had not seen it before.
The maintenance of holographic projection equipment was more troublesome, so it had always been open at fixed intervals, and not everyone could play it. The players were all excited when they heard that they were going to play League of Legends with a holographic projector.
There were also many players who had heard the news and rushed over by train in advance.
The players were ready in the two small soundproof rooms.
These ten players were selected from the PC experience area, and even the worst one was at Diamond 5. Chen Mo split them into two teams according to their rank and position, playing the red and blue teams.
Today’s match was a BO3, with two wins out of three. The five winning players would each receive a Katarina figurine, while the five losing players would each receive a Teemo’s hat.
