Can the glory of the king KPL create a star player like LOL?

The popularity of e-sports in China has developed very rapidly in recent years, and people's attitudes towards games have also changed greatly. When it comes to game competition, many people no longer regard it as a plaything. Some people say that the electric shock to the godfather Professor Yang has slowed down the development of e-sports in China for several years. Although this is just a joke, it is undeniable that in those years when Internet cafes were popular, many people regarded games as a scourge, especially parents. When they saw their children playing games in Internet cafes, they wanted to trample them to death.

In recent years, with the popularization of e-sports, especially after the establishment of e-sports specialty in colleges and universities, people gradually accepted playing games as a profession. Moreover, with the holding of world-wide e-sports games such as StarCraft, Warcraft and LOL, which are more and more grand and have more and more bonuses, a number of star players have emerged from these sports. Taking their success as an example, more and more people are engaged in this industry.

LOL Global Finals started from 20 1 1, and now the S7 season finals are held. Seven games have been held, which not only attracted higher and higher bonuses, but also attracted more and more people. Such a global e-sports event not only attracted great attention to e-sports, but also created a number of star players, such as faker (the Great Devil), Clearlove (the factory director), Tian Ye and other well-known players.

As the most popular mobile game, the glory of the king also launched the professional league KPL. The glory of the king 20 15 went online and quickly became popular. Relying on a large number of players, the glory of the king started the professional league on 20 16, and officially entered the professional stage of mobile e-sports.

From the opening of the 2065 438+06 KPL professional league, to the 20 17KPL spring tournament, the the glory of the king Champions Cup, and now the 2065 438+07 kpl autumn tournament in full swing, the glory of the king has held four national professional tournaments. Like LOL, more and more prizes are awarded and more people are paying attention to them.

Many people may think that it is a joke to play glory in running a professional league, but we have to admit that the KPL professional league is very successful, and old e-sports teams such as RNG and LGD have joined KPL. Many stars were invited to participate in the Summer Champions Cup Star Team Competition held on 20 17, which made KPL more familiar to more people.

From 20 16 to 20 17, KPL officials and teams are building some star players, such as Dream Tears, Cat God, Chen Gui and Xiao Yu. And create various activities for them. Its essence is to build a group of star professional players and win fans, so as to keep KPL's attention and popularity, and so are KPL and these players.

KPL's star-making seems to be quite successful, and the QGhappy team and AG Super Play team have also won the support of more and more loyal fans. However, after all, the glory of the king can't hold up a world series like LOL. In order to win over foreign players, the glory of the king created a foreign version. This game, with different versions at home and abroad, is doomed that KPL can only hold events in China. The stars created are only domestic stars, and it is difficult to have world-class stars.

However, "the glory of the king" has the strong support of its owner Baba Tencent, so this star-making behavior should be successful, even if it is only a well-known domestic star, which is enough. After all, China has such a huge group of players. What do you think?
