When it comes to e-sports, many people first think of league of legends, DOTA2 and other world-renowned events, especially the League of Legends S11 Chinese team EDG has triggered a national carnival after winning the championship, and the impact is even not to lose some traditional sports events. With the e-sports project becoming the official project of the Asian Games, the concept of e-sports is not equal to the game has also been more understood, but compared to the League of Legends type MOBA events and PUBG type FPS events, the MMO events with online games as a group are gradually marginalized.
20 years ago, MMORPG online games represented by "Legend", "Miracle" and "Journey" were popular, when the legendary "Sand City Battle" was the prototype of the earliest MMO e-sports, which at that time could be described as the craziest thing for players, and thousands of people could sleep and forget about the big war on a map for a whole day. However, with the rapid development of the Network, the types of games are becoming more and more dazzling, and MMO events are gradually marginalized in competition, the reason is because MMO events are generally insufficient, and it is difficult for the audience to have a sense of substitution.
Although the environment is not friendly to MMO e-sports, the MMORPG online games on the market have never given up, such as the competitions of "World of Warcraft" and "Sword Net 3", such as "Tianya Mingyue Knife" and "Ancient Sword Qitan", etc. have always insisted on holding MMO events every year, and in the face of adversity, the MMO events are held in a sound and colorful way, it is NetEase's "Against the Cold Water". In just over three years since its launch, dozens of events have been held, and the highest-scale "War of the Gods" cross-service competition has been successfully held to the ninth.
"Against the Cold Water" is the best domestic martial arts game with the best screen performance at present, the event is throughout the year, and the successfully held to the ninth battle of the gods can cause a sensation among players every year, and this ninth session has broken a number of records, becoming the event with the largest number of participants, the largest number of participating servers, and the highest reward benefits in the past three years. So why does the cold water set a new record every year? Protected the last face of MMO Esports?
The Battle of the Gods is a large-scale 120v120 event, and players who have participated in it have said that this is the largest event in the game and will be spread to every server in the game. Because there are many local tycoons in the game, there will be a grand mobilization meeting before each competition, such as the drunken and flower-folding big boss blue shirt spent more than 1 million yuan to customize a set of e-sports peripherals for all the gang members before the game, and the local tycoons who value the honor and reputation will naturally make the event look good.
In addition, "Against the Cold Water" and other online games that can be invincible by charging money are different, even the top combat power in the game is difficult to face the siege of two or three ordinary players, which makes players have a strong sense of participation in the event, as long as they listen to the command of excellent play can all be the mainstay, unlike other games can only be cannon fodder.
The most important thing is that the battle of the gods against the water cold also has a strong ornamentation, the map adopts the classic upper, middle and lower three-way formation, want to win the game is not a brainless fight, but also need a strong strategy, wild monsters, resources and the rational use of event skills are related to the final direction of the game. Because of the large number of participants, a participating gang needs at least 5 commanders, plus a commander-in-chief, and a 45-minute game is enough to make the participating players boil with blood.
High participation, good rewards, good competition experience, it is no wonder that the reverse water cold can bring the MMO e-sports office to life, then everyone feels that under the efforts of the anti-water cold, MMO e-sports will not emit new dawn and usher in greater opportunities?
