After the annual Video Game Awards ceremony, Overwatchâs popularity was increasing.
As the first free VR game in the country, and with the honor of game of the year, Overwatch was unstoppable in the VR world.
After the awards ceremony ended, many of Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainmentâs video game designers started to write design concept drafts, hoping to make a game that could surpass Overwatch.
âOverwatch is really popular. Wolf Soul is the only game that has been recognized by the game Committee in the past three years, right? Looking at the current trend of Overwatch, is it going to surpass Wolf soulâs dominance in FPS games?â
âNow, the domestic FPS games are basically Wolf Soul, raging inferno assault, and watchman.â
âBut the biggest advantage of Overwatch is that itâs free! Both of them cost more than 1000 Yuan to play, but this one is free. The threshold is too different!â
âItâs not that bad. For those players who can afford the game cabin, Wolf Soul only costs a few hundred Yuan when itâs on sale. Theyâve bought whatever they want.â
âThe main thing about Overwatch is that itâs very popular in VR internet cafes.â
âIndeed, itâs a big advantage to be able to play directly in a VR internet cafe!â
âItâs mainly because Overwatch is still in its early stages. According to Chen Mo, the game has to have sixty heroes in the future, and thereâll definitely be ranked matches and tournaments later on. Itâs even possible to have an International Finals like League of Legends, so the future is even better!â
âItâs a good thing Chen Mo hasnât started a ranked or professional match yet. We still have a chance.â
âIâve already submitted my design drafts. I donât know if Iâll be able to stand out in Emperor dynasty, but I hope I can get this project.â
Many of Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainmentâs video game designers were working on their design concept drafts, all of them wanting to use Overwatch as a prototype to create a game that could even surpass Overwatch.
This was a normal thought. In Chen Moâs previous life, when MOBA games were popular all over the world, there were many other MOBA games other than DOTA and LOL. After the game became popular, many other client-side and mobile games launched the mass escape mode.
Moreover, many of them had achieved a certain level of success.

It was clear that in the game industry, copying was not a problem. The key was to copy well.
Many video game designers thought that League of Legends could catch up and defeat COG because the game updated faster, promoted better, and optimized in all aspects.
And now, Overwatch was still not perfect in all aspects, especially since the competitive mode had not been released yet. As long as they took it seriously, they could still catch up from behind.
Especially Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment, both Lin chaoxu and Liu Yuanfeng were optimistic about Overwatchâs gaming model. These two companies had experience in successful FPS projects, so they were more comfortable with the game.
After Overwatch won the honor of game of the year, the direction of the domestic games industry was slowly changing.

On the Overwatch forum, while the players were rejoicing over the award, the call for the ranking competition to start was getting louder and louder.
âThe Overwatch is so popular now, letâs start the ranking competition! What was Chen Mo thinking? The first version of League of Legends had ranked matches, right?â
âI think Warcraft started off with a ladder mode as soon as the game was released.â
âMaybe Chen Mo is thinking of letting everyone get familiar with the mechanics of the game before starting the ranking competition, so that the newbies wonât mess with us?â
âHmm, that makes sense! However, we can release the ranking competition mechanism first. If youâre afraid that the newbies will cheat you, you can add proficiency restrictions. â
âGo Mo on Weibo, tell him to start the Overwatch ranking as soon as possible. Iâm going to climb straight up to the title of greatest King!â
âThatâs right. Iâm so good at showing off but I donât have any ranking points to show off. Hurry up and open it!â
On Weibo and forums, many people Chen Mo, asking him to update the Overwatch and start the ranking competition.
After playing Warcraft and League of Legends, the players were well aware of Chen Moâs tactics.
Especially in League of Legends, for many players, the most important thing was the ranking competition, and the ranking was the symbol to measure a playerâs level, which prompted players to work hard to climb up.
Everyone knew that the ranking competition for Overwatch was going to start sooner or later. There was only one reason why it had not started yet: Chen Mo was too lazy!
Therefore, many players were urging him.
Not long after, Chen Mo replied on Weibo.
âAbout the qualifying match: due to the busy schedule before the Spring Festival, many updates and changes may be delayed. At the moment, there was a hidden scoring system in the Overwatch. Players with high skill would be matched with players with the same skill. At the moment, the winning rate of all players was around 50%, so even if there was no ranking system, they could still improve their skill level through continuous practice. As for the hidden score, we will consider showing it in the game later on. Everyone, please be patient. â
Chen Mo didnât directly answer the players âquestions, but there were a lot of hints.
Chen Mo didnât specify when the ranking competition would start, he didnât even say if it would start or not. He only said two things, one was that he was currently full of work and a lot of content would be delayed; Second, Overwatch had a hidden sub-mechanism.
The players were all wondering about the meaning of this Weibo post.
âChen Zhao said heâs busy? In other words, there will be a ranking match, but we donât have the time to do it now!â
âThereâs a hidden sub-mechanism? Doesnât that mean that when the ranking system comes out, everyoneâs ranking will be directly matched and ranked according to the hidden points?â
âEh? That was a possibility! Thatâs quite thoughtful of Chen Mo. In that case, it doesnât matter if it opens a few days later. Letâs play well and get higher hidden points. Then, weâll be able to level it directly to diamond or even higher. Wouldnât that be great?â
âThat makes sense. Letâs wait and see!â
This Weibo post dispelled most of the players âdoubts, and everyone continued to play happily.
â¦â¦
Chen Moâs post was just a Bluff, to calm down the players who were insistent on having a ranked match. But in reality, Chen Mo didnât make any promises. He didnât even mention if he would hold a ranking match.
If there werenât any other considerations, Chen Mo could have told the players that the ranking competition wouldnât be held anymore, as it would damage the lifespan of the game.
However, Chen Mo couldnât reveal it yet, because Emperor dynasty entertainment and ZEN Entertainment were both trying to copy Overwatch. If Chen Mo revealed that Overwatch couldnât make a ranking competition, it would definitely raise their suspicions and cause them to doubt the entire game.
Once they decided to slow down and observe for the time being, as time passed, the various disadvantages of âOverwatchâ would slowly become apparent, and they would come back to their senses.
In that case, wouldnât Chen Zhaoâs lies be in vain?
