June 1, morning.
Yip's Building, Grand Conference Hall 1.
Another press conference began, this time with more media attending.
Time soon came to 9:00 in the morning.
Ye Xuan, the chairman and boss of the Ye Group, walked onto the stage step by step. Many reporters who saw Ye Xuan for the first time couldn't help but sigh in their hearts:
So young!
I didn't expect that at such a young age, he could come up with such surprising tricks to make the Penguin Empire in a mess. His mind is truly terrifying.
Ye Xuan stood tall and straight, looking very energetic.
"Hello everyone, I'm Ye Xuan. Today I invited everyone to come to YY Technology to announce a new game product that YY Technology has recently developed!"
"Its name is League of Legends, abbreviated as LOL!"
"Perhaps there will be other more down-to-earth names in the future, such as 擼啊擼."
"It's a MOBA, yes, it's the same genre as Dota, which is by far the most popular game in the gaming world."
"But I think that Dota is old and not suitable for the new era. League of Legends will definitely replace it and become the number one game in the world!"
All the reporters were excited.
Big news indeed.
Ye Xuan is really aggressive. He just brought down Penguin's QQ not long ago, and now he wants to bring down Penguin's Cash Cow?
Media reporters really like this kind of wealthy people who like to create news.
"Let's look at the big screen!"
On the stage, there is a huge screen. If you look closely, you can see that it is made up of many LCD monitors spliced together, but the joints are very fine. From a distance, it looks like a large movie screen, and it is super clear.
Soon, a map of the League of Legends Summoner Canyon appeared on the projection screen.
"This map is the most classic map in League of Legends. There are ten players fighting at the same time, divided into two camps, each with five..."
"Every account starts at level 1, and level 30 is the maximum level. When you reach level 30, you can start to play in the rankings. The rankings from low to high are Heroic Bronze, Unyielding Silver, Glory Gold, Luxurious Platinum, Brilliant Diamond, Extraordinary Master and Strongest King."
Ye Xuan introduced it in detail.
Then, Ye Xuan asked the 10 stronger employees of YY Game to come on stage and fight against each other.
Many journalists have played Dota, so they are relatively familiar with this game and can easily appreciate the excitement of League of Legends.
Easier to get started than Dota!
Fresher than Dota!
Easier to play than Dota!
The appearance of these heroes is more beautiful and handsome than the dark heroes in "Dota". Whether it is the cute Captain Teemo, the pure male gunners, or the exceptionally plump Sona... there is always one that meets the expectations of some people.
And more...
From this perspective, it seems that "League of Legends" will really be popular.
The reporters were excited: "Now we have something to write about. What should we think of as a title?"
Soon it was the turn for reporters to ask questions.
Zhalang News: "Mr. Ye, Dota is the most popular game on the market now, with very loyal fans and countless players proud of it. Why do you think League of Legends can surpass Dota?"
Ye Xuan smiled: "Dota seems to have many players, but it is difficult. There are not many players who can really get started with Dota. There are also many players who like it but find it difficult... These players will definitely like League of Legends in the end... In the market, League of Legends must have several times more audiences than Dota! Why can't it surpass Dota?"
Ye Xuan has played "Dota" and feels that it is difficult to get started and even more difficult to master it. This is a major drawback of "Dota".
It's just like those art films. Art films with high ratings have many loyal fans, but their audience is very small, and in the end the box office will inevitably not be as good as that of excellent popcorn movies.
At this time, a reporter from Penguin News stood up and said, "Mr. Ye, it is rumored that the project of League of Legends was launched a month and a half ago. Is this true?"
The media were all shocked.
One and a half months?
What an uproar!
The reporters were immediately excited.
"Mr. Ye, did this game really take one and a half months to develop? Is the quality going to be bad?"
"Mr. Ye, Dota took more than 4 years to develop. Do you really think that a game that was only developed for a month and a half can beat Dota?"
"Will League of Legends have a lot of bugs?"
"Why is Mr. Ye so anxious to release League of Legends? Is it deliberately targeting Dota?"
"Is Mr. Ye scared?"
Seeing so many reporters on the scene, the penguin reporter smiled coldly. This was exactly the effect he wanted.
Facing so many questions, Ye Xuan smiled calmly.
"In fact, this game is not only one and a half months old. When I was still in college, I felt that Dota was too difficult, so I thought about developing a MOBA that is easier and more suitable for the public. Then League of Legends was born."
"In the past four years, I have thought about, modified, and improved its settings, heroes, art, skills countless times... almost everything is perfect. Then, a month and a half ago, 10,000 game developers worked together to develop it, with the help of artificial intelligence Luo Tianyi, so it was completed in a month and a half."
"This is also considered four years of hard work!"
One word: blow!
Anyway, you have no way to prove that what I say is false.
