Wang Sicong's era is no more, MMO e-sports has changed dramatically! Civilians with a 100-fold financial difference with local tyrants have won the championship

Almost all MMOs want to squeeze into the esports scene, but you don't seem to see a successful game for more than a decade.

It is not until 2023, when the fierce battle of a "battle of the gods" in "Against the Cold" ends, in the lament of players that "no one can guess this ending", we seem to finally see the real feasible trend of MMO e-sports.

In a sense, the reason why MMOs are difficult to esports is because the core of the two game modes is fundamentally mutually exclusive.

MMO pursues the popularization and character growth experience, the operation difficulty of the game is relatively low, and the complexity of the confrontation is not too strong. The gap in combat power is like a moat, ruthlessly separating the "big guy" and the "ordinary player".

Under this mindset, ordinary players don't pay attention to MMO e-sports events at all, and the prediction of the results has directly become "whoever is strong can win". To put it simply, when Wang Sicong walks on the stage with the rest of the hundreds of players, you don't have to do anything, you are sure that he will win.

However, in "Against the Cold", this kind of "rule" was beaten to a pulp - civilian players, who were more than 100 times different from the local tyrants' financial resources, actually beat their competitors in the "War of the Gods" cross-server gang league and successfully won the championship.

In order to achieve this goal, "Against the Cold" has worked hard for many years.

Since the launch of "Against the Cold", it has been vigorously exploring the e-sports attributes of the game, and the official has also continuously organized various e-sports events, from the most basic 3V3 competition, 6V6 competition to various fair competitive gameplay. However, the e-sports gameplay in the game either cannot get rid of the traditional MMO "heavy value" trap, or it has fallen into the disadvantage of pure e-sports "extremely high threshold", and ordinary players can really participate in it and enjoy it, only "cross-server gang league".

Different from traditional e-sports events, the biggest feature of the cross-server gang league is that it is extremely large.

This is a super large-scale confrontation of 120 players against 120 players, and in the face of such a large number of people, the innate requirements such as the level of operation are greatly reduced, and the players are replaced by teamwork, responsiveness, and confrontation strategy. As a result, this has become the most engaged and interesting esports event among gamers.

After lowering the threshold for participation, "Against the Cold" has continued to work fairness.

Especially the season server that will be launched in 2023 adheres to the principle of "completely not selling values", all equipment and props must be obtained through gameplay, and krypton players and civilians are treated equally, and they completely rely on team cooperation to speak, which makes it have the foundation of doing a good job in MMO e-sports, and also creates the myth of "the largest civilian e-sports" with 50,000 participants.

More importantly, on the basis of ensuring the participation and fairness of players, the official of "Against the Cold" is constantly improving the strategic content of the cross-server gang league, and by adding a powerful "strategy card" system to the event, the league situation has become more tense and positive and watchable.

Players can turn the tide of battle by summoning powerful support machines on the map, setting up makeshift watchtowers, or turning the tide of battle by turning the tide of battle by making one of their elite troops invisible and teleporting behind enemy rear.

These designs have made the e-sports gameplay of "Against the Cold" extremely unique, covering the "popularity" of MMO and the "professionalism" of traditional e-sports, which has won the enthusiastic support of players, and has also attracted top bosses to form e-sports clubs to specialize in strategic confrontation in games.

With the successful staging of the new War of the Gods Cross-Server Gang League, where the civilian team defeated the local tyrants with a 100-fold difference in financial resources, the competitive road of "Against the Cold" has really been completed.
