If the character 215 is killed by some of the second selection characters, the character 213 may be randomly input into the game among the remaining characters 211, 213, and 214.

Through this, instead of the uniform game play pattern that can be generated by specifying the character's input order, a more diverse strategy can be established in consideration of the compatibility and random input characteristics of the six characters. Depending on whether or not the mobile game will be determined.

In addition, by allowing one player to combine characters as described above without forming a team with other players, the fun of the MOBA genre, in which the players plan the game strategy considering the compatibility of the characters in a limited mobile environment. You can feel it.

Next, the mobile game server 100 includes a character group of a specific player that has reduced the HP value below a predetermined threshold for the tower 230 having a predetermined hit point (HP) value on the map on which the mobile game is played. 210 or a reinforcement effect for a specific character, and the first player and the second player can start their character group 210 from both ends of the map to play the mobile game, respectively.

For example, referring to FIG. 2C, when a tower 230 named Crystal is provided on a map, reducing the HP value of the tower 230 to 0 reduces the specific character 213 or the corresponding character group to be reduced. 210 may be provided with a buff.

As another example, the first hit is provided when the HP value is reduced below 30%, the second buff is provided when the value is reduced to zero, or the final strike is zero, regardless of the percentage that reduced the HP value. The buff may be provided to a specific character or a group of characters wearing the.

For example, if a rare character or curved TV is provided as a reward for the first player, a reward selection UI may be provided to the terminal of the first player for one week, and the first player within one week. If no reward is selected, a rare character may automatically be provided as a reward.

Next, it may be assumed that the tournament of the mobile game is held at a predetermined period of time. In this case, in providing a reward selection UI that supports the top ranking player to select a reward, the processor 120 may allow the top ranking player to receive the same reward as the reward (ie, the reward option of the reward selection UI) in the past tournament. If it is determined that at least some of the alternative gaming assets or alternative real life assets having the same rating as the reward may be further provided as an option for the reward.

For example, if the fourth to tenth players are provided with a character costume or a Bluetooth speaker by default, if the fifth player of the current tournament is determined to have ranked 10th in the past tournament and selected the Bluetooth speaker as a reward, 5 In addition to the character costume and the Bluetooth speaker, the reward selection UI provided to the above player may be provided with the headphones as a reward option.

Next, in determining a match by matching a plurality of players, and providing each watch button 310 corresponding to at least some of a plurality of matches constituting the match, on the screen of the terminal 300 of the spectator, In the state where the preliminary stage of the tournament in which a plurality of players participated is in progress and players of a predetermined number of players survive and are determined to be the finalists, the processor 120 matches the finalists to determine a match and constructs a matchup. Each of the watching buttons 310 corresponding to at least some of the plurality of games may be provided on the screen of the terminal 300 of the spectator.

In other words, if the size of the tournament tournament is so large that the number of matches that need to proceed, it may be possible to provide a reservation function only to the main tournament by separating the qualifier and the final.

In this case, referring to FIG. 3C, the processor 120 does not provide an observing reservation function or a real-time observing function in the preliminary round, but instead arranges the ranking players of the preliminary round to watch the game played by each player. The 310 may be provided to the terminal 300 of the spectator.

As another example, the processor 120 may support the spectator to designate a particular player as a tracking target, and to enable the tracking target to watch at least one specific qualifying match played in the qualifying of the tournament.

For example, referring to FIG. 3C, when the spectator designates user 2 of the 43rd place as a tracking target, only the game of the user 2 who is the tracking target may be supported.

In this case, the processor 120 provides the watch button only to the display area related to the tracking target, or provides the watch button 310 to all player areas as shown in FIG. 3C, but reserves the activated state 320 in the tracking target area. It may also provide a watch button for the state.

On the other hand, when a specific player designated as a target for tracking by the spectator enters the tournament, the processor 120 reserves the right to watch a specific main game when the spectator reserves the specific main game played by the specific player.
