Vol 1 Chapter 34 (2/2)

This was an exhibition game and also a Starcraft II promotion.

The two players drew to decide which race they would place.

The first round, Solo drew Zerg and Grunt was Terran, with a roster of fierce ranged units.

Ai Qing didn’t know Starcraft II very well.  But as an esports player for so many years, she could quickly understand a game from just the explanation from the commentators.  But Starcraft II had just came out less than a year, the two commentators were not that familiar with it either.  They could only give a simple a.n.a.lysis of the game.

She had difficulty understanding the commentators.

Baona saw her trying to understand, he briefly explained the game next to her.

“How’s the market for Starcraft II?”

She asked Baona out of curiosity.

“Starcraft has come out for a year and it’s basically dominated by the Koreans.  Just like Warcraft, all the top players are on the Korean battle.net.”  Baona looked at Solo and said,  “But a new game has a new game’s market.  It’s estimated that by 2011, those superstar players can have awards up to 250 to 300 thousand US dollars.”

An annual salary of two million RMB?  That was a huge attraction for esports players.
