Chapter 447 Future Group Is Like A Beam Of Light, Illuminating The Confused Domestic E-Sports Circle
The impact of Lu Yi's massive deployment of artificial intelligence is naturally not limited to the country, but has also radiated overseas, especially major technology companies in Silicon Valley in North America.
After the major technology companies in Silicon Valley received the exact news from people in China, the heads of Microsoft, Gu Ge and other companies held high-level meetings to discuss the matter.
They had to pay attention to Lu Yi's every move.
In the Internet technology industry, once you step into the wrong trend or fail to keep up with the times, you will be abandoned by the times without even having time to react.
Just like Yahoo.
Once synonymous with the Internet, it was a giant company with a market value of hundreds of billions of dollars.
But looking at it now, the market value continues to decline, and its influence on the Internet industry has long been replaced by Future Group and Gu Ge.
Regarding the development prospects of artificial intelligence, neither the leaders nor the senior executives of these companies have any doubts.
Artificial intelligence is definitely the mainstream of the future.
But is it too early to start entering the field of artificial intelligence now?
This worries the heads of these companies.
They think Lu Yi is too noisy.
Cloud computing and big data have not yet been sorted out, and now artificial intelligence is beginning to be deployed.
These are big projects that cost money and effort.
Go ahead, I don’t know when it will bear fruit.
Before there is any result, the process is very difficult.
And with such a huge investment, what if you don’t see the results and the company is brought down?
Don’t follow me. If the application of artificial intelligence is not far away from what everyone thinks, maybe next year or the year after that, if it misses the trend and loses the opportunity, won’t it mean that it will be eliminated by the times?
so.
Whether it's Microsoft or Guge, they are all very confused.
After struggling with this, they had to make a decision to follow up.
They have always led the world in Internet technology, but with the emergence of Lu Yi, the limelight was directly stolen.
People are now focusing all their attention on Lu Yi from the East.
It is conceivable that even if they do not follow up, other companies will definitely follow up.
In order not to be eliminated by the times, even if they grit their teeth, they can only choose to follow Lu Yi.
Even if the investment is not large, it is better to just occupy a pit first and have a seat on the artificial intelligence bus than to wait until later and get on the bus without a seat.
then.
in the next period of time.
Artificial intelligence has become the most hotly discussed concept nowadays.
Papers on artificial intelligence are constantly being published.
An expert and scholar with profound knowledge and reputation in the field of artificial intelligence has also been poached by major companies.
As for Lu Yi, it is natural that it takes action faster and earlier than other companies.
for example:
Artificial intelligence scientist Demis Hassabis, one of the founders of deepmind in his previous life and the developer of AlphaGo, was poached by Lu Yi to Blue Star Electronics.
Andrew Ng, a scholar and expert with international reputation in the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning, was also poached by Lu Yi to Blue Star Electronics with a high salary, responsible for speech recognition and image recognition.
Just when people are hotly discussing artificial intelligence, another piece of news has attracted global attention.
On September 16th.
Future Group issued an announcement announcing its entry into the e-sports industry and will create a new brand event - Ready Player One.
The Ready Player One event is held once a year, and the first event will be next year.
at the same time.
The spokesperson of the Ready Player One event brand will not be a real-life celebrity, but the virtual idol Luo Tianyi who will be launched by the future group next year for linkage.
Ready Player One will also have a Hall of Fame.
The requirement for an e-sports player to enter the Hall of Fame is to win two championships in his or her e-sports event before he can enter the Hall of Fame.
According to the competition rules, the top 16 teams in each session can enter the top player stage to compete for the championship.
The world is divided into five regions, North America, Europe, Greater China, East Asia, and Wild Card Region.
In the future, the Group will be committed to building the Ready Player One event into a world competition with the highest honor, the highest gold content, the highest e-sports level and the highest visibility among global e-sports projects.
The Ready Player One project has been in preparation for a long time.
So it was no surprise to everyone within the company.
The outside world was shocked.
As soon as the news came out, cold water was dripped into the boiling oil, causing the pot to fry immediately, which immediately aroused heated discussion from the outside world.
Of course.
Among these comments, there were both praise and criticism.
Many people are surprised that Future Group will enter the e-sports industry.
Many people also doubt that the group's future entry into the e-sports industry will poison the flowers of the motherland, which has led to criticism from many people that Lu Yi is not doing his job properly.
Three days later.
Future Group held a press conference to further disclose Future Group’s plans for Ready Player One.
The news released by Future Group is a direct shock to the gaming industry or e-sports industry.
On the day when the news was disclosed on the official website, countless World of Warcraft players, StarCraft players, CS players, CF players and other e-sports-related players on all major platforms expressed concern about this matter.
These people are undoubtedly excited.
Especially the relevant practitioners are as excited as chicken blood.
They never imagined that the group would enter the e-sports industry in the future.
And it aims to create the most high-end event in the industry.
To know.
Nowadays, e-sports practitioners, including players, are very confused.
Especially the [Blue Speed Internet Cafe] incident in the past few years was undoubtedly a blow to the nascent e-sports industry in China.
In 2002, domestic e-sports was in its infancy, and when players had just begun to develop a sense of competitive gaming, a fire at the [Blue Speed Internet Cafe] almost destroyed the entire e-sports industry.
Because of this fire, a nationwide overhaul of Internet cafes was triggered, which also had a great impact on the development of the budding e-sports industry.
You know, from 2002 to 2004, it was the first year of domestic e-sports.
Especially in 2003, e-sports officially became an official domestic competition, and the country was increasing its efforts to support e-sports competitions. In 2004, the country’s first large-scale e-sports competition was held———— The purpose of the CEG League is to popularize e-sports.
In the environment at that time, e-sports players were riding green trains to play in Internet cafe leagues across the country. At that time, the living conditions of domestic e-sports players were very poor.
Although the domestic CEG league is not as famous as WCG and does not have such high bonuses, Chinese people are still full of expectations for CEG.
But.
The occurrence of the Lanjisu Internet Cafe incident and the subsequent (Wang Qian's) impact caused the General Television Administration to issue a "Prohibition of Computer Game Programs" notice, requiring television stations at all levels not to open computer online game programs .
This means that eSports competitions are banned from being broadcast on television.
In that era when Internet bandwidth was not enough to load videos, watching TV was the most widespread and convenient channel for e-sports competitions.
This document from the General Administration of Television basically sentenced the popular e-sports program to death.
CCTV 5's "Game Stuff" was directly disappointing.
From AOE to CEG leagues, not many people went to watch them. The computer network couldn't keep up, and game shows were banned from TV. The origin of domestic e-sports events was strangled in the cradle.
Many employees who love e-sports have changed careers, and professional players have retired, leaving domestic e-sports, which started in chaos, with a bleak future.
Future Group suddenly announced its entry into the e-sports industry at this time. How could these people not be excited?
This is like a ray of dawn shining down, giving all practitioners who are still generating electricity for love a long-lost hope. .
