Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 233 E-sports Goddess Invitational Tournament
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
The first e-sports goddess invitational tournament hosted by the Longzhu live broadcast platform officially kicked off this Saturday afternoon. The location chosen was also very clever, it was located in Taicang next to the Magic City.
Two years ago, the first LPL league also kicked off in this city. At that time, the competition venue was relatively simple, but it also gathered the first generation of LPL veteran e-sports players.
Among them are the two old enemies WE and IG, as well as the dark force OMG that suddenly emerged, and the old Royal Club that won two world runner-ups...
Now, with two years of accumulation and development, the LPL league has gradually matured and grown, and has built a bigger stage in Shanghai.
Therefore, the Longzhu platform chose this place as the venue for the first e-sports goddess invitational tournament, which shows that it has high hopes for this invitational tournament.
If the women's league can be revitalized, the Longzhu platform, as the organizer, will naturally be the biggest beneficiary and can obtain a steady stream of traffic support.
Therefore, the Longzhu platform not only invested a lot of resources, but also sent out the platform's top female star, Miss MISS. The master women's team led by her has become unprecedentedly popular.
In addition, the two major clubs OMG and IG also tried to form women's teams to participate in the competition. Together with the Korean women's team formed by the Longzhu platform itself, a total of 14 teams participated in this competition.
As the first e-sports goddess invitational tournament and also the first offline women's League of Legends event in China, it is already full of gimmicks and attracts the audience's attention.
However, the level of the contestants is very limited, most of them are at the platinum and diamond levels. After all, it is not realistic to expect to pick out a large number of strong female players to participate.
Therefore, the Longzhu platform is also creative. Since the competition of strength is not very good, why not make the invitational tournament into an entertainment event that is half variety show and half e-sports?
After all, for the vast majority of spectators, the original intention of watching the first women's event was not to enjoy the game itself, but more for the female players.
There are not many girls who play games, and even fewer who are good at them. If they are good-looking...
Therefore, this first e-sports goddess invitational tournament has already set the tone of entertainment-oriented from the competition system.
Before the game starts, viewers watching the live broadcast can vote for their favorite team. If they don’t look at the strength, they will naturally look at the appearance. They will vote for whoever looks good.
In serious competitions, there will also be talent shows by the contestants. What's the point of just playing games? You also have to sing and dance.
Even eliminated teams can use talent shows to canvass votes from viewers watching the live broadcast, thereby securing a spot in the resurrection race and advancing directly to the quarterfinals.
Although it goes against the principle of winner-takes-all in e-sports, there is no doubt that the Longzhu platform has made good use of the gimmick and successfully taken the lead in terms of traffic and attention.
After all, it was a big event in the live streaming industry , so Zhou Dongsheng also paid a little attention to it.
There are strong teams led by serious female players like MISS, there are also champion teams from the Korean women's division, and there are also women's teams launched by two major clubs. These teams are obviously taking the route of strength.
One of the teams was formed by a modeling agency and consisted of five gorgeously dressed models. It was obvious that they were not here for the competition seriously.
After all, live streaming platforms emphasize traffic rather than strength, so there is nothing wrong with doing so. However, it also means that this women's event will not last long.
Although most of the female players were new faces, Zhou Dongsheng did not gain nothing. He discovered a future top anchor in the women's team formed by OMG.
That is Mo Zi, who plays the support position. Like MISS, she is a serious female e-sports player. After playing many popular games, she finally found her way in the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", achieving success in both her professional career and her hosting career.
Isn’t this a coincidence?
This game was most likely created by my own hands in this life, and if I want to keep the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" popular for a long time, e-sports is the inevitable path to take.
Whether it is the talented young man Wei Shen or Mo Zi, they are both suitable players to form a chicken-eating team. Zhou Dongsheng will naturally not miss this good opportunity to "pick up a bargain" that is almost delivered to his door.
Mark the player Mo Zi and consider it after the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is released. Zhou Dongsheng doesn't mind promoting good things that go with the flow.
Just by paying attention to the industry trends, Zhou Dongsheng was able to pick up a small bargain. He was in a good mood. As for the follow-up of the E-Sports Goddess Invitational, Zhou Dongsheng didn't care.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng was too lazy to pay attention to even the competitions of his own IM club, let alone this women's competition which was mainly for entertainment.
In addition to the big moves made by the Longzhu platform, the Huchi platform also officially unveiled the identity of the live streaming industry’s first celebrity spokesperson, Chen Chichi, after a wave of mysterious marketing.
For most actors, it is a great honor to portray a character that becomes a household name, and this is certainly true for Chen Chichi.
With a successful role, Chen Chichi easily accomplished a goal that most actors failed to achieve, leaving a deep impression on the audience.
And with this role and his "good man" persona, he was able to gain popularity in the entertainment industry and was once among the top stars.
Coupled with the help of the variety show Running Man, Chen Chichi is now also a hot star in the entertainment industry.
For Zhou Dongsheng, a pure passerby, he doesn't care about the love, hate and grudges of celebrities, but the one he has his eyes on, Mo Zi, seems to be a team player and anchor under Chen Chichi in the future.
This "unprofessional" actor has a very broad business scope, but now that he has noticed it, this "future" has obviously changed.
However, he has changed the future so many times that Zhou Dongsheng has already gotten used to it.
As the two major live streaming platforms have taken measures to deal with the impact of the Panda platform, Principal Wang remains calm and unconcerned, and is conducting the internal testing of the Panda platform in an orderly manner.
After all, all the trump cards he has prepared now need to wait until the Panda platform is officially launched before he can sit down at the live broadcast industry table and play them one by one.
Although the Shark platform, which made a big move a while ago, has been quiet for a while, it also quietly sent a small gift to Principal Wang to "welcome" the arrival of the Panda platform.
Although Dazhi is still the anchor of the Shark platform, he has long been one of the big anchors on the Panda platform.
The Shark platform not only gave the former No. 1 Dazhi a cold shoulder, but also supported the current No. 1 Curly Baboon, who had a "billion-dollar buyout contract", to recover the losses.
Since we know that Dazhi will leave and a new top star has taken his place, Dazhi is naturally dispensable now. Although the contract has not expired, instead of letting Dazhi continue live streaming to accumulate traffic and thus create trouble for himself, it is better to kill the chicken to scare the monkey!
The Shark platform closed Dazhige's live broadcast room without any explanation and also contacted Dazhige himself directly.
Thank you for your continued support and dedication to the Sharks. The last period of the contract should be considered as a long vacation for Dazhi to have a good rest. He will no longer need to broadcast live on the Sharks platform.
This wave of murderous and heart-breaking behavior really confused Dazhi. How could Dazhi tolerate this way of cutting flesh with a blunt knife? So he directly chose to fire at the Shark platform on the Weibo platform.
