Victor sour biography
Suddenly in the first place was the general director of Wargaming Group Ltd. Victor Kisly. He is a Minsk resident. And there were the first games in the form of control of the kingdom - primitive, I don’t remember the names, I remember they were terrible and scary. But we have nostalgia for them. Then computer clubs appeared, and they already have video groups: someone runs somewhere, shoots, a spaceship flies somewhere.
We, the boys, all liked these games very much, they fascinated the whole generation! On admission to the Faculty of Physics, Victor’s father, Vladimir Kisly, insisted, he also gave his son to the chess circle. Vladimir Kisly today is one of the co -owners of Wargaming. True, he admits, because of the “civilization” he practically overwhelmed one session. It was an online game in chess on the map of the world.
My father helped a little pocket money. They worked and worked, just so as not to die. But we understood that if we make a game of all times and peoples, it will capture the world and then we will get rich! But then, before x, everything was on enthusiasm. ” In fact, all the games of Victor source were somehow connected with the military battles. Remember, there was such a series - “Book of future commanders”, “Book of future admirals”.
I read them, watched a lot of films about the Civil War, the Great Patriotic War and a year.
Military history helped me understand that it is impossible to win at once. ” The world of tanks was the first great success was the Bagration Operation Strategy, which appeared in the year. It reconstructed military operations on the territory of Belarus in - gg. There were still half a dozen games between chess and Bagration. But the glory and money to Victor to the sour brought World of Tanks.
This game simply captured all the post-Soviet and part of the world space. Although she did not shoot right away. On my personal account there are 10 battles. I am not a gambling person, but the World of Tanks is drawn to me. On average, I spend 50 hours a month in tank battles, ”says Viktor Kisly about his game. Recently, the head of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, admitted that his youngest son Nikolai likes to play in Tanks.
But he is limited. Hour - tanks, an hour and a half of music, two hours tanks - four hours of music. Four is hard, so he does not play tanks for more than an hour, ”said Lukashenko. He always emphasizes that this business segment is very competitive and any mistake can lead to unexpected results, it is impossible to relax in any case. According to sourly, the secret of success is also not to stop there, but to constantly win new markets.
This market has very high competition, and not only in games - in all areas. But we got some kind of our audience there. These are older men who drive children to tank museums, watch Discovery Channel. The next task was to cover the younger audience. But this is much more complicated: they already need shooters, they like to play on consoles. In Europe and the United States, we still have where to grow.
But in Russia there was a saturation of the market. It is probably already impossible to find a man who has not heard about World of Tanks in Russia, except in the taiga. ” The most promising market for today Victor Kisly considers Asia. More recently, the company opened representative offices in South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, Japan, and is also actively conquering China. There is a representative office even in Australia.
In Minsk, the company’s largest office is located, where the world hit of World of Tanks is fully created: from writing code to organizing e -sports competitions and promoting the project ... In general, the office completely occupies a floor building and has a person near the person. ”
