Volume 2 Chapter 111: The MSI champion belongs to LPL or LCK? !
The bullfrog frog felt that he must have discovered the truth.
"Everyone knows that as a professional LOL player, Yuan Shen certainly can't say anything openly, after all, he has to make a living, but Yuan Shen definitely gave us a hint!"
"Think about it, everyone. Do you find anything wrong?"
"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has been popular since March or April, but Yuan Shen has never played a single game. Why did he suddenly start playing it today? Isn't it strange?"
Faced with the bullfrog and frog's deliberately suspenseful speculation, some people were puzzled and some were disdainful.
"It's a bit strange indeed. The main reason is that Yuan Shen used to only play League of Legends during live broadcasts, but today he suddenly played PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds during live broadcasts. It seems really abnormal."
"Indeed! And shouldn't we be on holiday now? Why is Yuan Shen still broadcasting live? Maybe he was under pressure from Tencent Esports and took the initiative to broadcast live to clarify and divert public opinion!"
"No, a bunch of Yuan Xiaozi are really messing around. They have to use the client to win the MSI? People who don't know would think EDG won the S championship!"
Many people just saw the above sentence and then it disappeared.
Following closely behind was a message from a person with the ID [Anti-Pressure Bar Management Team 1].
"The Joker who jumped into the face when the team was losing has had his post deleted and has been banned. We just won MSI and we don't allow any jumping into the face when the team is losing."
The maggot babies were all amused.
“Take care of the baby!”
“The most righteous episode about raising children!”
"It's hard to hold. Wasn't he a tough guy when he was raising a child?"
"There's nothing I can do. Who can beat EDG in the spring season? EDG even won MSI. Although I like RNG a little bit, it's useless for me to take care of my kids."
"Indeed! So easy to seal!"
Bullfrog Frog continued :
"From this, it can be seen that Yuan Shen is most likely here for a mission during today's live broadcast. It's probably something like not allowing people to talk about the League of Legends client incident. To a large extent, it's to relieve the current pressure on Tencent Esports."
"But it's no use!"
"We can see that Yuan Shen just said that there will be no League of Legends today. What does this mean?"
"The Yuan God is hinting! He is hinting to us that in the face of Teng Jing's rogue behavior, we actually have another way to punish Teng Jing!"
The maggot baby underneath was a little confused for a moment.
Another way?
How can players sanction operators?
etc!
It seems... it really exists?
"Not playing anymore?"
"That's true! Players can't do anything to the operators, but everyone can choose not to play! Even if we can't stop playing forever, I don't mind playing again after a few days!"
"Could it be that this is also within the calculations of the Abyss God? It's so terrifying!"
The maggot babies gasped.
It's really possible!
Yuan Shen himself has stopped playing. Is he hinting to us that we don’t need to go online to fight against Tencent Esports?
At the very end, the bullfrog and frog gave a passionate speech.
"All League of Legends players, let's lend our vitality to the Abyss!"
“Those who carry firewood for the public should not be allowed to freeze to death in the snow and wind!”
"Yuan Shen's performance at MSI is obvious to all. EDG has worked so hard for the LPL and played so well, why is there not even a single message of congratulations?!"
"Yes, I admit that I am a pig, but I want to ask the emperor, if RNG won the MSI championship, but the client didn't allow you to hang. Would you be able to bear it?"
"It's okay for you not to speak for EDG today. I can understand."
"Then who will speak up for you when you are treated like this?"
"No matter how much people criticize EDG, they are still a team that has won honors for LPL, right? You can criticize them all you want when they are bad, but you can't just ignore the honors they have won, right?"
"So here, I, Niuwa Tianji, call on everyone to spread this post, so that those League of Legends players who don't pay attention to the game can also take a good look at the ugly face of Tencent Esports!"
"For the next week, I will not play a single game of Bullfrog Frog. I will not be online even once. This is my ID and the screenshot of the Palm League. I am Sima."
“Until Tencent Esports makes up for EDG’s MSI win and related events!!!”
As an old pig, Bullfrog and Frog's words can be said to be very sincere.
He was even thinking of mobilizing the imperial clan, who had always been hostile to him.
This made the maggot babies, especially the fans of RNG, start thinking.
Yes, this time EDG’s popularity of winning the championship was deliberately suppressed by Tencent Esports, and we are here to watch the joke.
What if next time, Tencent Esports suppresses the popularity of our RNG?
Thinking of this, RNG fans couldn't sit still anymore.
No matter which fan this is, they can't stand it. Even after winning the championship, they are still suppressed by their own region. How disheartening is this?
No matter what Tencent Esports’ considerations are, it should not do such a thing!
Because the fox mourns the death of the rabbit.
This time it was EDG that was unlucky, so... who will be unlucky next time?
After driving away Qin Zhongze who supported Xu Yuan, the new person in charge who was preparing to create the god Uzi himself will never know.
How terrible this kind of thing is for the fans and the team.
This means that even if you win the championship, you still won’t be recognized, and the originally sweet cake begins to become like cake-like shit.
Almost overnight, Bullfrog Frog's post became popular on Weibo super topics related to League of Legends and the comment section of Bilibili video.
All LPL viewers who knew about this realized how disgusting it was.
And in Xu Yuan’s fan QQ group, a huge storm is also brewing!
Group leader: "No. 1, how are your arrangements going?"
Actioner No. 1: "Don't worry, Sister Li, the fans closest to Tencent have organized themselves, and now the number of fans has reached 372."
Group leader: "Okay, starting tomorrow morning, you will take a bus directly to Tengzi's headquarters. You should have received the signs I ordered, right? The fans of the SKT club next door in LCK will drive trucks, we can't play that low."
Group leader: "You guys go to the site. I have already bought the LED screens at Shanghai Lujiazui Zhengda Plaza. The advertising screens at Shanghai subway stations have also been arranged for a week. The big screen at Citigroup Tower is also ready. It will play the footage of EDG winning the championship and Yuan Bao holding the trophy in a loop."
Group leader: "Didn't Tengzi not help EDG or our Yuanbao celebrate their victory?"
Group leader: “We’ll do it ourselves!”
Assistant: "Sister Li, I have already asked for the price of Times Square 24-hour projection."
Group owner: "Don't ask for 24 hours, just ask for a week, PM me the price, don't worry about more or less, I just need the fastest, understand?"
Assistant: “Yes!”
Group leader: "How are the arrangements for the sisters in Tianjin, Wuhan, Shenzhen, BJ, and Guangzhou going?"
Weiyi Yuanbao: "@Group leader, I have already arranged it! It will also be on ten large screens in a loop for a week!"
Cute Xiao Yuan: "@Group leader, I've also finished it. Shall we start tomorrow?! Woohoo, Yuan Bao is so pitiful. He has won the championship but is still being targeted. I really can't stand it!"
Group leader: “Well, I’m relieved.”
Group leader: "If you have financial difficulties, please don't be embarrassed, just chat with me privately, I can reimburse the expenses this time, everyone's kindness is enough, I believe Yuanbao will receive it."
Weiyi Yuanbao: "It's okay, these are just small amounts of money."
Group leader: "Other sisters are also ready. We will also start to work hard on Weibo and other platforms, but be careful not to post in irrelevant videos or super chats, so as not to cause others to be disgusted with Yuanbao. We should remain rational and chase stars in a civilized manner."
After sending the last sentence, the well-maintained aunt in a professional suit turned off her phone.
Boom boom boom.
There was a knock on the door.
She raised her eyes slightly, "Come in."
The subordinate who came in carefully handed over a document.
"Mr. Li, this is the news from the project over there..."
Mr. Li's temper has suddenly become much worse these days, making his subordinates a little scared.
"Yes, I got it. Thank you for your help."
To his surprise, Mr. Li smiled.
The subordinates felt dizzy until they walked out of Mr. Li's office.
Although Mr. Li is already in his forties this year, he has taken good care of himself and looks almost twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.
She smiled at me... Is she interested in me?
Otherwise, just give in?
The popularity of Xu Yuan's live broadcast room became more and more terrifying, from the original level of just one or two million more than the illegal figures, it instantly became more than double him.
The illegal characters were dumbfounded.
this!
What kind of popularity is this?
At the same time, what happened in LPL has also been known by Riot Games.
The department responsible for handling this matter was the department under Nicolo Laurent of Riot Games, the company that awarded Xu Yuan the award.
In the past, when faced with such matters within a region, especially in the LPL where Tengzi, the full-funded player, is located, Riot generally would not interfere.
but……
Laurent looked at the message sent back and a smile appeared on his face.
"Tencent Esports does not represent Penguin!"
If you want to provoke a giant like a penguin, let alone fists, even ten fists would not be enough to defeat the penguin alone.
In 2017, Penguin has undoubtedly become a unicorn-level enterprise in many industries, and is a tough guy that can be ranked in the top 40 among the Fortune 500.
As early as 2012, Penguin announced adjustments to its corporate organizational structure.
Upgrade from the original business system system to the business group system.
It is divided into Corporate Development Group (CDG), Interactive Entertainment Group (IEG), Mobile Internet Group (MIG), Online Media Group (OMG), Social Network Group (SNG) and Technology Engineering Group (TEG).
At the same time, Penguin E-Commerce Holdings Co., Ltd. (ECC) was established to focus on operating e-commerce business.
It covers almost all of people’s food, housing and transportation.
At the end of the same year , some leaders visited the penguins.
For such a huge creature, ten fists tied together would only be enough to deliver food to the penguin.
But the thing is...Tencent Esports is not Penguin.
Although this sentence is a bit confusing, it is actually very simple.
Tencent Esports is just one of Penguin's many divisions, and there are actually quite a few departments like this.
There are also gaps between departments.
Penguin Video also has departments, and QQ also has departments.
The question is, are Penguin Video and QQ departments at the same level?
Tencent Esports is not considered a key department now.
Speaking of this, we have to talk about what happened between 2016 and 2017.
Because in 2016, the LPL was contracted by Prince Wang’s Banana Project.
However, due to the lack of standards and experience in hosting events, many problems occurred.
This is actually normal. Anyone without experience will suffer.
August 2, 2011.
Prince Wang sent out a Weibo post: Strong entry and integration of e-sports
In fact, he actually achieved his initial goal of entering the market.
The value and treatment of e-sports players increased on a large scale, the ACE League was initially established, and CN's e-sports industry was established for the first time.
But as it developed to 2016, e-sports faced a very serious problem: it was impossible to monetize!
This was the biggest problem at the time.
On the day of the Chinese New Year, more than a dozen club owners found Prince Wang and the Penguin executives and complained to them, saying:
If we don’t reform and completely form an alliance, no one will have money to invest.
So the Penguins decided to enter, which led to the final year of discussions in 2017.
In 2018, LPL became a complete league and abolished promotion and relegation.
Before the complete alliance, Tencent Esports in 2017 was actually not worth mentioning at all for a giant like Penguin.
It's a department that lives in a remote corner.
Tengzi has long focused on AI and aerospace.
Therefore, Riot will not feel any pressure in provoking Tencent Esports.
So on Twitter, Riot immediately took action.
They first changed the fist logo on their profile picture to a photo of Xu Yuan taken when he won the MSI championship.
Post:
【Champion】
The accompanying picture is a picture of EDG holding up the MSI trophy high!
The LCK leader was so excited that he laughed so hard that he became numb.
We are still being liquidated in China, is the LPL next door sick?
Hahaha!
I immediately replied with an English sentence, which roughly means:
LPL can get rid of players it doesn’t want, and ED G players are always welcome to join LCK.
It really made a presence felt!
It also caused the liquidation operations in South Korea to gradually disappear.
Because LCK viewers also started to watch the show.
And Xu Yuan knew nothing about all this.
He was busy scolding Ah Shui.
"No, your skills are rubbish!"
"You have to show your head when you're holding a gun in the game? Just to show how big your head is?"
With Puzi’s translation, Bang laughed so hard that he couldn’t stop.
The atmosphere was very joyful.
After happily playing PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds for the entire night, Xu Yuan said goodbye to his fans politely without reading the comments.
Tomorrow, Ed Zhu will meet with him to renegotiate the contract.
Xu Yuan was still a little bit looking forward to it.
Who wouldn’t be happy to get money?
A quiet yet turbulent night passed. As soon as the head of Tencent Esports, who was humming a little tune while going to work, sat down, he heard an urgent knock on the door.
He frowned.
"Come in!"
A subordinate with a panicked look on his face walked in, and before the person in charge could reprimand him, he spoke breathlessly.
"You! Please look outside!"
He pointed out the window.
The person in charge's face became serious. He walked to the window and looked outside.
Below the Tencent Esports studio, a large crowd of people had gathered there.
They held signs in their hands.
[Is the MSI champion the LPL champion or the LCK champion? 】
The person in charge's pupils shrank, he raised his head slightly, and suddenly froze.
Opposite the building where they were was a huge screen.
On the screen, a video of EDG winning the MSI championship was playing in a loop!
Xu Yuan's brilliant smile seemed particularly dazzling at this moment.
He opened his mouth, but no words came out.
“This…this…this!”
"minister?"
The voice of his subordinate woke him up.
He fell weakly on the chair, clenching his fists and then lowering them.
“Go…go!”
"Quick! Start an event! Put up a page congratulating EDG!"
He was trembling all over, as if he had already seen the scene of himself being kicked out.
He raised his head and stared blankly at the snow-white ceiling.
Groaning weakly.
"Pressure..."
“I can’t hold it back anymore!”
