Chapter 449: Are you going to hold a ranking match?
After the awards ceremony ended, many of Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment’s video game designers started to write design concept drafts, hoping to make a game that could surpass Overwatch.
“Overwatch is really popular. Wolf Soul is the only game that has been recognized by the game Committee in the past three years, right? Looking at the current trend of Overwatch, is it going to surpass Wolf soul’s dominance in FPS games?”
“Now, the domestic FPS games are basically Wolf Soul, raging inferno assault, and watchman.”
“But the biggest advantage of Overwatch is that it’s free! Both of them cost more than 1000 Yuan to play, but this one is free. The threshold is too different!”
“It’s not that bad. For those players who can afford the game cabin, Wolf Soul only costs a few hundred Yuan when it’s on sale. They’ve bought whatever they want.”
“The main thing about Overwatch is that it’s very popular in VR internet cafes.”
“Indeed, it’s a big advantage to be able to play directly in a VR internet cafe!”
“It’s mainly because Overwatch is still in its early stages. According to Chen Mo, the game has to have sixty heroes in the future, and there’ll definitely be ranked matches and tournaments later on. It’s even possible to have an International Finals like League of Legends, so the future is even better!”
“It’s a good thing Chen Mo hasn’t started a ranked or professional match yet. We still have a chance.”
“I’ve already submitted my design drafts. I don’t know if I’ll be able to stand out in Emperor dynasty, but I hope I can get this project.”
Many of Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment’s video game designers were working on their design concept drafts, all of them wanting to use Overwatch as a prototype to create a game that could even surpass Overwatch.
This was a normal thought. In Chen Mo’s previous life, when MOBA games were popular all over the world, there were many other MOBA games other than DOTA and LOL. After the game became popular, many other client-side and mobile games launched the mass escape mode.
Moreover, many of them had achieved a certain level of success.

It was clear that in the game industry, copying was not a problem. The key was to copy well.
Many video game designers thought that League of Legends could catch up and defeat COG because the game updated faster, promoted better, and optimized in all aspects.
And now, Overwatch was still not perfect in all aspects, especially since the competitive mode had not been released yet. As long as they took it seriously, they could still catch up from behind.
Especially Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment, both Lin chaoxu and Liu Yuanfeng were optimistic about Overwatch’s gaming model. These two companies had experience in successful FPS projects, so they were more comfortable with the game.
After Overwatch won the honor of game of the year, the direction of the domestic games industry was slowly changing.
……
On the Overwatch forum, while the players were rejoicing over the award, the call for the ranking competition to start was getting louder and louder.
“The Overwatch is so popular now, let’s start the ranking competition! What was Chen Mo thinking? The first version of League of Legends had ranked matches, right?”
“I think Warcraft started off with a ladder mode as soon as the game was released.”
“Maybe Chen Mo is thinking of letting everyone get familiar with the mechanics of the game before starting the ranking competition, so that the newbies won’t mess with us?”
“Hmm, that makes sense! However, we can release the ranking competition mechanism first. If you’re afraid that the newbies will cheat you, you can add proficiency restrictions. ”
“Go Mo on Weibo, tell him to start the Overwatch ranking as soon as possible. I’m going to climb straight up to the title of greatest King!”
“That’s right. I’m so good at showing off but I don’t have any ranking points to show off. Hurry up and open it!”
On Weibo and forums, many people Chen Mo, asking him to update the Overwatch and start the ranking competition.
After playing Warcraft and League of Legends, the players were well aware of Chen Mo’s tactics.
Especially in League of Legends, for many players, the most important thing was the ranking competition, and the ranking was the symbol to measure a player’s level, which prompted players to work hard to climb up.
Everyone knew that the ranking competition for Overwatch was going to start sooner or later. There was only one reason why it had not started yet: Chen Mo was too lazy!
Therefore, many players were urging him.
Not long after, Chen Mo replied on Weibo.
“About the qualifying match: due to the busy schedule before the Spring Festival, many updates and changes may be delayed. At the moment, there was a hidden scoring system in the Overwatch. Players with high skill would be matched with players with the same skill. At the moment, the winning rate of all players was around 50%, so even if there was no ranking system, they could still improve their skill level through continuous practice. As for the hidden score, we will consider showing it in the game later on. Everyone, please be patient. ”
Chen Mo didn’t directly answer the players ‘questions, but there were a lot of hints.
Chen Mo didn’t specify when the ranking competition would start, he didn’t even say if it would start or not. He only said two things, one was that he was currently full of work and a lot of content would be delayed; Second, Overwatch had a hidden sub-mechanism.
The players were all wondering about the meaning of this Weibo post.
“Chen Zhao said he’s busy? In other words, there will be a ranking match, but we don’t have the time to do it now!”
“There’s a hidden sub-mechanism? Doesn’t that mean that when the ranking system comes out, everyone’s ranking will be directly matched and ranked according to the hidden points?”
“Eh? That was a possibility! That’s quite thoughtful of Chen Mo. In that case, it doesn’t matter if it opens a few days later. Let’s play well and get higher hidden points. Then, we’ll be able to level it directly to diamond or even higher. Wouldn’t that be great?”
“That makes sense. Let’s wait and see!”
This Weibo post dispelled most of the players ‘doubts, and everyone continued to play happily.
……
Chen Mo’s post was just a Bluff, to calm down the players who were insistent on having a ranked match. But in reality, Chen Mo didn’t make any promises. He didn’t even mention if he would hold a ranking match.
If there weren’t any other considerations, Chen Mo could have told the players that the ranking competition wouldn’t be held anymore, as it would damage the lifespan of the game.
However, Chen Mo couldn’t reveal it yet, because Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment were both trying to copy Overwatch. If Chen Mo revealed that Overwatch couldn’t make a ranking competition, it would definitely raise their suspicions and cause them to doubt the entire game.
Once they decided to slow down and observe for the time being, as time passed, the various disadvantages of ‘Overwatch’ would slowly become apparent, and they would come back to their senses.
In that case, wouldn’t Chen Zhao’s lies be in vain?
