Netizens questioned the design of the trophy
Just when everyone was looking forward to the first esports World Cup in Saudi Arabia, a photo of the tournament's championship trophy sparked a heated discussion on social media.
This photo shows the championship trophy of the Esports World Cup, and the trophy is very unique, presenting a very futuristic sci-fi style, which looks like a civilization artwork from an alien planet, giving people a refreshing visual experience.
Although the design of the trophy is quite creative, it has not been unanimously recognized by everyone, on the contrary, many netizens have complained about its shape after seeing this trophy, thinking that this futuristic design style is not quite in line with the atmosphere of e-sports events, but seems a little "ethereal" and "illusory", which may make the champion feel a little embarrassed when kissing the trophy, and even ridiculed as "kissing aliens".
It can be said that the design style of such a trophy is indeed very bold and avant-garde, which is very different from the traditional trophy design, and it is also eye-catching.
The importance of trophy design in esports events
Whether it is a traditional sporting event or an esports event, the design of the trophy plays a very important role, and a unique and meaningful trophy design can add many highlights and highlights to the whole event, and will also become a topic of conversation among players and fans.
In traditional sports events, a variety of trophy designs emerge in endlessly, some trophies have beautiful shapes and profound meanings, such as the medals and trophies of the Olympic Games, which are integrated into the elements of ancient Greek culture, giving people a sense of nobility and elegance, while some trophies strive to break through innovation, such as the trophies of the French Open, which use the design of glass balls, giving people a clear and transparent beauty.
Similarly, in esports events, the design of the trophy needs to fully take into account the esports culture and game characteristics, and be able to fit the theme of the event, make a deep impression, and become a highlight of the event.
For example, the trophy of the "League of Legends" World Championship "Summoner's Cup" adopts a very unique design, the whole trophy is like a huge crystal castle, implying the player's spirit of adventure and adventure in the game, giving people a mysterious and dreamy feeling, and has also become the "Internet celebrity trophy" in the e-sports industry.
It can be said that a good trophy design can make the contestants fight for it, carnival for it, and also make the audience marvel at it, remember it vividly, become a part of the event, and pass it on forever.
The role of social media in the dissemination of public opinion
For such a trophy design, it can be widely recognized and loved, not only depends on the intentions of the event organizers and designers, but also needs to take into account the aesthetic concepts and emotional resonance of the majority of audiences and fans.
Nowadays, with the rise and popularity of social media, netizens can discuss and complain about all aspects of the event through various platforms, such as Weibo, WeChat, Twitter, Facebook, etc., and can also express their views and emotions through pictures, videos and other forms, and participate in the dissemination and shaping of public opinion.
When designing the trophy, the organizer of the event also needs to fully consider the influence and communication effect of social media, and can appropriately use the platform of social media to interact and communicate with the majority of fans to understand their ideas and suggestions, and can also arouse the attention and discussion of netizens on the trophy design through some interesting activities and topic challenges, so that everyone can participate in the design process and increase the interactivity and attractiveness of the event.
At this time, the event organizers and designers need to have a tolerant heart, humbly accept all kinds of different opinions and suggestions, and can also appropriately adjust and improve the design plan, discuss with netizens, and jointly create a satisfactory trophy work.
The future of eSports
Through such a discussion and heated discussion on trophy design, it can also be seen that e-sports, as an emerging form of competition, has gradually been integrated into people's lives and culture, becoming one of the topics of heated discussion, and also has huge development potential and space.
With the continuous progress of science and technology and the collision of cultural exchanges, the influence and attractiveness of e-sports events will become greater and greater, and they will gradually integrate into the mainstream sports culture, develop side by side with traditional sports, and bring more excitement and excitement to people.
In the future, I hope to see more similar e-sports events, not only with generous bonus benefits, but more importantly, to show the charm and characteristics of e-sports culture, to bring players and audiences a wonderful e-sports feast, but also through such events, to enhance friendship and exchanges between countries, to build an invisible bridge, so that people around the world can feel the charm of e-sports, for it, for it, for it.
epilogue
No matter what kind of trophy design, it is inseparable from the hard work and hard work of e-sports players, they use sweat and passion to bring us a wonderful game, but also for us to interpret the true meaning and charm of e-sports, I hope they can achieve excellent results on the field, harvest their own glory and dreams.
