Huya Technology Company not only has Huya live broadcast platform, but also acquired all the shares of Riot Company.

Now there is a dedicated game department within the company to operate the League of Legends game.

It is already early June, and in a few months, the new global finals will be held, which is "s3".

In the past two years, the global finals of League of Legends have really not paid much attention.

Because this game is not very popular, and players from most countries and regions do not have any channels to watch the finals.

As for going to watch the game live, I obviously thought too much.

In the past two years, if any game is the most eye-catching game, everyone will have to dota2.

This game has been in operation for two years and can be said to be born with a halo.

Dota is a game that can be used to be as many players worldwide. Since S got cold, dota is undoubtedly the most popular game in the world, and no game can be compared with it.

The player base is definitely calculated in billions.

Unfortunately, Ice Frog and Blizzard did not reach an agreement, which resulted in Dota no longer being updated. Ice Frog turned around and cooperated with Valve, which made the S game, to create the game Dota2.

Unfortunately, because the hero models in the game are no longer allowed to use Blizzard's, the heroes in Dota2 are strange in shape.

Many old Dota players can't adapt and slowly lose it.

But after all, Valve has a strong foundation. As soon as this dota2 was launched, it spent a lot of money to promote it.

Especially the annual finals, which are called "ti" in the industry, when the first one was held in 2011, the prize money was as high as 1.6 million US dollars!

At that time, it was really astronomical!

No e-sports competition has ever been able to get such a high bonus!

You know, in previous global e-sports competitions, it is very high to have a prize of 100,000 and 200,000 US dollars.

Dota2's global finals directly raised its level to more than one million US dollars!

The news was very sensational at that time. Many people who never played games heard about a game and actually received a prize of millions of dollars in games.

dota2 has also become a very famous game in one fell swoop. That is, many people have never played dota2, but they have all heard the name of this game.

Every time you mention dota2, someone will suddenly realize: "Oh, you are the game with millions of dollars in the competition!"

This is event promotion, and its influence is still very high.

Unfortunately, due to the hero model of dota2 itself and the inconvenience to play, few people play dota2 in China.

League of Legends took advantage of this gap and developed in the country.

The two game types are the same, both are five-player competitive games, and the game modes are exactly the same.

In fact, it is not to be shy about that League of Legends is actually the game mode of copying dota1. Of course, dota2 is also the game mode of copying dota1.

Yes, all three are considered brothers, but dota1 and dota2 are considered half-brothers.

League of Legends is at best an adopted one.

The parent company of League of Legends, Riot Games, is also a poor company. The two founders started from scratch and started making this game in 200708. It was not until 2010 that they could be considered to be able to make it.

Therefore, the first global competition of League of Legends was also held in 2011, and the prize money for the competition was pitifully small, only 99,500 US dollars.

It’s not that I’ve called a “0” less, it’s indeed only 99,500 US dollars…

The first global finals of Dota2 held in the same year, the total prize pool has reached 1.6 million US dollars.

The gap is so big.

This more than 90,000 US dollars is not the champion, but all participating teams are allocated according to their rankings. The champion is 50,000, the runner-up is 25,000, and the third place is 10,000. Which of the remaining points is from 4 to 8.

Such a small bonus also leads to not many teams willing to participate.

What's more, there was no professional team at the League of Legends at that time. The focus of all e-sports clubs was on dota2.

Although dota2 has fewer players in China, there are quite a lot of professional players.

In the first Dota2 Global Finals, two Chinese teams entered the quarterfinals.

The eHe team achieved a good result of second place, and ig also won fifth place.

Dota old players should remember the names "820430357". These are also the most famous dota professional players at the time, and they have all transformed into dota2.

They are also the main players of the eHe and ig teams.

As for the Dota2 Global Finals held in 2012, the Chinese team is even more powerful.

Among the top eight, there are five Chinese teams!

Yes, the Chinese team is invincible in Dota2!

First place, ig!

Third place, lgd!

Fourth place, dk!

Fifth place, ehe!

Seventh place, Tongfu!

2012 is the year of IG's prosperity, the year of the rise of Dota2 in China, and the year of the world's confrontation with China. IG won several championships in China and reached its peak, and it was inevitable that it would win the championship. Thanks to IG's championship and the opening of the national server, Dota2 has been spread in China.

In comparison, League of Legends is much more pitiful.

Not only is there a huge gap in bonuses, but the results of the Chinese team are also pitiful.

In the first session, that is, S1, China had no team to participate in the global finals.

At the second time, two teams in China participated in the competition, including IG and BSP; both stopped in the quarterfinals and did not enter the quarterfinals.

The third global finals will be held this year. Of course, this year's competition will be planned and organized by the game department of Huya Technology.

Huya Technology also attaches great importance to this competition, because this will be the best time to promote the League of Legends game.

Since last year, the League of Legends game has actually shown signs of becoming popular, otherwise it wouldn't have cost so much money to acquire Riot Company.

This year will be a crucial year.

Whether the League of Legends game can surpass Dota2 in one fell swoop and become the most popular competitive game in the world depends on this year.

Therefore, Huya also studied it over and over again before coming up with the competition plan. After Huarou saw it, she felt unsure and wanted to look for Wang Ye. Only after getting Wang Ye's affirmation did she feel confident.

I have to, the game department on Huya has also put in the effort and is willing to spend money.

The competition prize pool is also set according to dota2, up to two million US dollars!

This is definitely the world's top e-sports competition standard. Yes, the number of bonuses is currently available except for Dota2 and League of Legends.
Chapter completed!
