Welcome to beyond the Valley, a CNBC tech podcast with Arjun Karpel and Tom Chitty.

歡迎來到 CNBC 的科技Podcast「Beyond the Valley」，由 Arjun Karpel 和 Tom Chitty 主持。

過去簡單式

While Paris hosted the Olympic Games a few weeks ago, nearly 3,000 miles away, another sports tournament was taking place.

幾週前巴黎剛舉辦完奧運，而在將近 3000 英里外，另一場體育賽事也在進行中。

Not necessarily with the same prestige as the Olympics, but certainly with a bigger prize pool.

雖然聲勢可能不如奧運，但獎金池絕對更大。

The winners sharing more than $60 million.

冠軍們將分享超過 6000 萬美元的獎金。

This weekend brings the conclusion of the first esports world, which has been taking place in Riyadh for the last eight weeks.

這個週末，在利雅德進行了八週的第一屆電競世界盃即將迎來尾聲。

Featuring 23 events in 22 different video game titles, including Call of Duty and Fortnite.

賽事包含 23 個項目，橫跨 22 款不同的遊戲，像是 Call of Duty 和 Fortnite。

The event was part of Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, a government program to diversify the country's economy away from its reliance on oil, but

這場活動是沙烏地阿拉伯 Vision 2030 計畫的一部分，旨在讓國家經濟擺脫對石油的依賴，但

Uniting the industry under one competitive umbrella could, in the words of our special guest this week, bring this to a scale similar to the largest traditional sports events around the world, beyond the Valley.

就像我們本週的特別來賓所說，將產業整合在一個競技平臺下，能將其規模提升到與全球最大傳統體育賽事相當的水準，Beyond the Valley。

So for our listeners today, Arjun is recovering from a nasty bout of flu.

所以，今天的聽眾們，Arjun 正在從一場嚴重的流感中恢復。

I think it was a sort of chest infection.

Yeah, so not feeling tip top but you know, always show up for beyond the Valley, Tom, you know that.

對啊，所以感覺不是百分之百，但你知道的，Tom，總是會為了 Beyond the Valley 出現，你懂的。

Yeah, no, well, I was going to say I'm happier than usual that you're.

對啊，嗯，我本來要說，我比平常更開心你。

You're with us because our listeners know that you are the gamer between.

你跟我們在一起，因為我們的聽眾知道你是我們之間那個玩家。

I think the last game video game I played was rugby 08.

我想我上次玩的遊戲是 rugby 08。

所以那已經是好久以前的事了。

But for now, let's introduce our special guest.

但是現在，讓我們來介紹我們的特別來賓。

He couldn't be better placed to tackle the subject for this week's episode.

他再適合不過來處理本週節目的主題了。

Firstly, he grew up an avid gamer before co founding one of the first esports teams.

首先，他從小就是個熱衷的玩家，後來共同創立了最早的電競隊伍之一。

He then went on to co found Electronic Sports League Gaming, a German esports organizer and production company that produces video game competitions worldwide.

接著他創立了 Electronic Sports League Gaming，這是一家德國的電競組織和製作公司，在全球製作遊戲競賽。

It's the oldest esports company that is still operational.

這是至今仍在營運中最老的電競公司。

most importantly for the subject for this week's podcast, here's the Esports World Cup CEO Ralf Reichardt.

最重要的是，關於我們這週Podcast的主題，隆重介紹電競世界盃的執行長 Ralf Reichardt。

Now, Ralph, I do like to do a little bit of research on our guests before we meet them.

現在，Ralf，在我見到來賓之前，我喜歡做一些研究。

And I took a look at your LinkedIn page and there's a couple of great proverbs on them.

我看了一下你的LinkedIn頁面，上面有幾個很棒的諺語。

One, around belief, it says luck is the residue of your laughing.

其中一個關於信念，上面寫著「運氣是你笑聲的殘留物」。

Now because you're like, no, no one reads that.

現在因為你說，沒有人會讀那個。

如果你想走得快，就獨自前行。

Now, I actually looked into where this proverb from and I don't think it can.

現在，我 actually 查了一下這句諺語的來源，我認為不行。

There hasn't been a definitive author for the proverb.

But is that, is that your belief in life?

I mean, if you think about anything, there's another quote that we say which is not on the LinkedIn page, is without luck, you don't even have to start because you know you can tackle this from so many things, but

意思是，如果你仔細想想任何事情，還有另一句我們常說，但沒有出現在 LinkedIn 頁面上的話是：沒有運氣，你根本不用開始，因為你知道你可以從很多方面著手，但是

You will miss 100% of the shots you don't take.

So when we started with esports in 2000, it wasn't a completely crazy alien idea.

所以當我們在 2000 年開始做電競時，這並不是一個完全瘋狂、不切實際的想法。

Because video games were commercially, not culturally, socially not accepted.

因為當時遊戲在商業上、文化上、社會上都不被接受。

Back in the days, even when you quit with Rugby 08, it was still up in the air.

以前，即使你放棄了 Rugby 08，事情還是懸而未決。

So we started out to try to build a sport on basis of a non accepted medium.

所以我們一開始就試圖在一個不被接受的媒介的基礎上建立一項運動。

And we went against almost the whole parent generation which, let's be frank, right, hated video games.

而且我們幾乎對抗了整個不喜歡遊戲的父母那一代。

And we said, we're going to go out and fill stadiums with it.

我們說，我們要出去，讓體育場座無虛席。

That's why these things, these philosophical things are so important.

這就是為什麼這些事情，這些哲學性的東西如此重要。

And now that I'm 30 years into this, I can be sitting down as the old guy and saying this is how it goes.

現在我已經在這個領域 30 年了，我可以像個老傢伙一樣坐下來說，事情就是這樣發展的。

But if you're young and if you're going into it, going all in, taking all the risks, you don't know.

但如果你還年輕，如果你要全力投入，承擔所有風險，你不會知道。

So it's probably to help out some people.

I think the question that our listeners will most want to know is what game are you playing the most at the moment?

我想我們的聽眾最想知道的問題是，你現在最常玩什麼遊戲？

And what's your favorite video game of all time?

其中一款叫做 Clash Royale 手機遊戲。

It's one versus one, which is very different because you're not in a team.

這是一對一的，很不一樣，因為你不是在一個團隊裡。

You don't have that social experience which I'm missing, but it's still a great game.

你沒有那種社交體驗，而我有點想念，但它還是很棒的遊戲。

The other game I'm playing is Dota 2 and I'm playing this since 2004, so forever.

我在玩的另一款遊戲是 Dota 2，我從 2004 年就開始玩了，玩了超久。

The best video game of all time is obviously Quake.

有史以來最棒的遊戲，顯然是 Quake。

That's how for me, the esports industry started in 1996.

這就是為什麼對我來說，電競產業在 1996 年就這樣開始了。

It was really the first game built to be played on the Internet.

它確實是第一款為了在網路上玩而設計的遊戲。

That meant it took away the limitation of any other sport, which basically is you need to meet physically at one point in time, at one place.

這意味著它消除了任何其他運動的限制，也就是你必須在同一個時間、同一個地點實體碰面。

And it was the first real 3D shooter as well.

它也是第一款真正的 3D 射擊遊戲。

So it's a lot of groundwork for a lot of things we see today and what you've just said, Call of Duty, Fortnite, they're all some sort of based on Quake.

所以它為我們今天看到很多事物奠定了基礎，就像你剛才說的，Call of Duty、Fortnite，它們某種程度上都是基於 Quake。
