When it comes to e-sports, I believe everyone thinks of all kinds of PVP games, but this year, e-sports competitions seem to have changed a little, because as Mihayou's PVE game "Genshin" continues to be popular around the world, this game has also begun to engage in e-sports-related competitions.
For example, recently, HoYoverse, an overseas brand owned by Mihayou, announced that it would hold an e-sports event with the theme of "Genshin" in Tokyo, Japan. There are single-player boss races and two-person amusement spot parades, and as an entertainment event, the prize pool for this tournament is up to 300,000 yen.
Judging from the rules of this tournament alone, the way Mihayou e-sports "Genshin" is quite interesting. As with other esports competitions, the accounts obtained by the participants this time are the same, which tests the pairing understanding and operation of the multiplication zone. At the same time, the two factors of ban's character rules and the randomness of the relic's entry make the game more possible. It can be seen that Mihayou seems to be interested in normalizing Genshin esports through single-player events.
In fact, this is not Mihayou's first attempt at Genshin e-sports. As early as May this year, Mihayou cooperated with many well-known universities in the UK to hold a large-scale e-sports competition. And at that time, Mihayou not only released the trailer of the game on YouTube, but also cooperated with well-known media such as Sky Sports to broadcast the game live.
While trying the possibilities of e-sports through various competitions overseas, Mihayou has also cooperated with A B in China to hold the Genshin e-sports interactive "Bilibili Genshin UP Main Invitational Tournament" for many times. This tournament has been running since 2011, when the total prize fund was 1 million, which shows how determined Mihayou is to enter the esports business.
Of course, for Mihayou's attempt, I personally think it is a good attempt. After all, e-sports is also one of the important sectors of the game industry, and while improving the game, Mihayou is worthy of recognition for constantly expanding the game boundaries of its own games. You know, according to a few more versions, "Genshin" can usher in a new resident card gameplay "Seven Holy Summons". Start accumulating esports experience now, maybe to pave the way for this card game.
So, what do you think of Genshin trying to enter the esports space?
