From a user level perspective, no.

From Tencent’s perspective, no.

First of all, these are two different types of games. Even CF’s blood relationship is closer to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds, which is inappropriate.

Secondly, the emergence of battle royale will definitely divert LOL users. This is uncontroversial, but it will not shake the foundation of LOL. What can shake the foundation of LOL will only be LOL seeking death. Or a new MOBA game comes out.

The history of MOBA games is as long as that of FPS games, and they also have a stable user base. However, the most popular ones are live broadcasts. Haha, I am even worried that PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will follow in the footsteps of Overwatch.

When Overwatch came out and was at its peak, some people asked the same question. However, it turns out that LOL is longer and more tenacious than we thought. When a game not only exists as a game, but drives major industries to develop together, it will show long vitality and user stickiness, refer to Warcraft and Jian Wang 3. And LOL, the same is true.

So LOL will not be replaced for a while, and Tencent will not be so stupid. I think that Tencent's agent eating chicken, in addition to grabbing the dividends, is more for the development of his TGP in a certain place.

Is Tencent jealous of STEAM being so popular? It must be jealous, but its products cannot compete with others, so it can only start to lay out, from PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to in-depth cooperation with Nintendo. Anyone with a discerning eye can see the relationship between them. , that is, laying out independent games and his TGP platform.

PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds is now at a high price. Tencent’s high price purchase is definitely not to use it to kill another of its own products. More, it is because of the high premium derived from PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
