I don’t know when it started to become a full-time anchor and became the goal of many contestants. Even the contestants won results in the competition to better live broadcasts in the future. This is not a unique phenomenon in War3 circles, and this is the case in almost the entire e-sports circle.

For this reason, many people have thought of solutions. Popular projects include super high bonus events and a continuous stream of young people participating (not received honors before), which will naturally attract top talents to participate. For unpopular events like Warcraft, you can only rely on "no live broadcast if you don't participate in the competition" to force the anchor to come out to play.

So the question is, is this regulation useful?

Female players participated in the competition, and the live broadcast regulations have begun to take effect

Some people have called for the Golden League and other competitions not to allow other anchors to broadcast, thereby protecting the interests of the organizers. However, in the view of the organizers, the core demand of their major anchor promotion competitions (projects) was their main demand, and restricting anchor broadcasts was just an empty talk at the time.

Interestingly, when many people want to restrict anchors from protecting contestants, the ESL event organizing committee made the regulation that "participants cannot broadcast live, and they can broadcast live without participating." This has also caused dissatisfaction among many players. If it weren't for the high total prize money for the ESL event, I might have given up.

The one who really makes some moves must be the Fuxing Cup. At the boss's order, all those who do not participate in the competition will not be broadcast live, which made the major anchors unable to hold back. So, we saw TeD, Infi, TH000, Lyn, Yumiko, and even the Great Emperor, Anji . That competition was also the strongest audition in history.

In addition to "no broadcasting if you don't participate", the Fuxing Cup also pays more attention to protecting the interests of the main contestants and formulates regulations that non-central contestants need to set a 3-minute delay, which can be regarded as a way to avoid the anchor's idea of trying to take advantage of the situation.

After this, it is the new plan for the Tianxiu Cup that has just been reformed recently. The new plan stipulates that all players or anchors who enter OB cannot refuse the invitation from the organizer. Considering that the organizer may not necessarily start watching the game at that time, this also means that if you want to continue live broadcasting the game in the future, the anchors must play the game in person.

Next is the rhythm of Lyn and 120 coming out to participate in the Tianxiu Cup. Even TeD, who has not seen for a long time, is willing to come out to challenge Happy, you will know the power of this new regulation.

In addition, why did TeD participate in the Doubi Cup? It may also be related to the fact that if you don’t participate in this competition, you cannot broadcast live.

Players are the basic platform, and live broadcast regulations are very necessary

Some people will definitely ask, why do players want to be anchors?

The answer is also very simple. Compared to being a contestant, being an anchor is relatively less stressful and earning more.

Then someone will ask: Some anchors can work two jobs, why should they give up the competition? Can't you play and live broadcast?

Their answer is: "Yes, but not necessary."

It's like after you finish work from nine to six, you can deliver food part-time at night, or take on some private work on weekends and earn more extra money, but most people still choose to rest. The money you earn in daily work is enough for life. Why do you make yourself so tired?

But if all the players do not play games and become anchors, this circle may quickly go up and down. You should know that the most attractive thing about Warcraft is its confrontation. Without the confrontation of the game, the viewing ability of Warcraft will be greatly reduced. This is like a basketball game. Once there is no competition and no tension and excitement, watching the All-Star Fight or Harlem Basketball Team performances every day will definitely lose a large part of the audience.

From this perspective, it is particularly important to ensure the interests of the players. After all, the players are the basic platform of War3. "If you don't participate in the competition, you won't let live broadcasts" can at least make the players participate in the competition with more peace of mind.

And for the audience, they just want to watch a peak showdown like Happy vs Lyn, or TeD, TH000 and play again. It would be great if they could see the anchor come back. In fact, most viewers follow the fun, and most viewers just watch the feelings. If the old guys can continue to beat them, they will continue to watch. Once the person they like stops hitting, they will stop watching.

So, for viewers, the live broadcast regulations are considered to be a benefit for them.

. The problem of symptoms but not root causes. The revival of Warcraft

The ideal scene is of course the veterans come back, and Warcraft returns to the competitive state of blooming flowers in 2019. However, such a scene may never happen in reality.

First of all, the anchors' age is no longer as old as they were back then. The competitive state will inevitably decline, and they will inevitably be distracted by other things in life. Some people just want to practice hard but can't practice it even if they want to play games.

Secondly, the benefits of practice are too small. In the past, there were competitions such as the Golden League, WCG, and ESL, which are worth fighting for the championship honor. Now there are all honors that should be found, and there is no way to fight for the honors that do not exist (the competition is gone). What's the use of practicing so hard?

Therefore, even if the rule of "no participation in the competition will not be allowed to broadcast live", many anchors really go to the competition, just go through the motions, use non-mainstream entertainment, or show off their style as much as possible, and the results are not that important, and it is not realistic to restore the magic world to the previous competitive environment.

What's more, if the anchor is determined not to play the game, then he might as well stop broadcasting. What can he do? If you broadcast the ladder or play it at your own time, the popularity will not be much lower.

The most critical problem of Warcraft is that there is too little fresh blood. Logically speaking, the old guys should retreat to the second line when they are in their 30s, but since no one is on the way, they can only struggle to support them. In the end, I couldn't hold on anymore, and the phenomenon of forcing the veteran player to come back.

Warcraft is no better than basketball and football. There are always all kinds of young talents coming out. C Ronaldo , Messi If you retreat in the future, there will be Mbappe , Haland . If this group of Warcraft people retreat, there will be no one.

Not only is there few new players, but too few new audiences are also a fatal problem. It is normal for old audiences to gradually stop paying attention, but new audiences will be added to other projects, but Warcraft rarely attracts fans born in the 1995s and 2000s.

people play, 20,000 people watch, this is called e-sports; 20,000 people play, 2 people watch, that's not to mention that Warcraft is now in an embarrassing stage of 2 people playing and 2 people watching. The decrease in the number of spectators directly leads to the reduction of official events, and the reduction in events will lead to the transformation of players. The old players who do not play games will further make the audience abandon their pit, and then fall into an infinite vicious cycle. It is too ideal to revive Warcraft with just a live broadcast rule. All it can do is to add more gimmicks and slightly improve the environment. That's all.
