Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 392: Infamous
Zhou Dongsheng was having a great time playing games and didn't notice at all that outside the office, the entire company was turned upside down by his words.
After finishing a refreshing game, the League of Legends client was showing the news that the new hero “Eternal Hunters: Kindred” would be launched as the 127th character in the League of Legends.
In addition to this , there was news that the village’s only hope, the EDG team, was defeated “without any suspense”, losing 0-3 to the S-League champion FNC team in the semi-finals.
At this point, the three major seeded teams in the LPL region have all been eliminated, missing the finals for the first time since S3. In this year hailed as the "most promising year", the LPL region achieved the worst record in history.
Even though LGD, the number one war criminal team, was at the forefront and attracted most of the firepower, the other two teams could not avoid being implicated by some angry spectators.
Not to mention the team, even Tabe, the "Wang Jingwei of e-sports", has become the target of public criticism.
This massive e-sports public opinion storm has not cooled down at all even though the world championship is halfway through. On the contrary, it shows signs of intensifying.
Moreover, the live broadcast rooms of several key figures have also become the hardest hit areas...
Looking at the message posted on the client, Zhou Dongsheng personally experienced the "old events of S5 season" again, which was a different feeling.
"This is just the beginning. The era of being dominated by LCK has just begun..." Zhou Dongsheng sighed.
As someone who has experienced this, Zhou Dongsheng knows very well that the overall backwardness of the entire competition area is an established fact and cannot be reversed by his own efforts.
Without sleeping on firewood and tasting gall, how could the three thousand Yue soldiers conquer Wu?
Zhou Dongsheng didn't think about it any more, but instead he couldn't help but feel like "watching the fun".
"This Wei Shen should be live streaming, right? I can go and have a look, and comfort this future PUBG master..." Zhou Dongsheng muttered.
Then he casually opened the Shark live broadcast platform. Since Shark sponsored the LGD team, the live broadcast contracts of all the players on the team were packaged together by the club and given to the Shark platform.
After the LGD team won the summer championship, the sponsorship made the Shark platform earn a lot of money and it was great value for money.
Especially the star player Wei Shen, who is still working so hard on live broadcasts and has not slacked off at all because of his preparations for the World Championships. This professionalism makes the management of the Shark platform very pleased, and they generously gave Wei Shen a lot of traffic support.
This also made Wei Shen one of the top anchors in the gaming area on the Shark platform.
Although times have changed, whenever Wei Shen starts broadcasting, his popularity has increased instead of decreased. He easily gets a million fans, almost catching up with the mainstay Curly Baboon!
Therefore, as soon as Zhou Dongsheng opened the Shark platform, he saw Wei Shen’s live broadcast room at a glance, but he did not see the familiar "pig head in the lower right corner".
As soon as Zhou Dongsheng opened Wei Shen’s live broadcast room, his eyes blurred and he was flooded with comments. In the chat box on the right, the words flowed upwards backwards like a waterfall, which was dazzling!
"It used to be godv, now it's vdog!"
"Now Wei Shen's only chance to kill Fei Ke is to go to the SKT team training room with a sword!"
"Be optimistic, Gao Dewei. When will the bag I bought arrive?"
"Why don't you choose Varus? I want to watch the live broadcast and play Varus again."
"Can you do that again, that one?"
"First there was God Wei, then there was Heaven. The reverse is called God!"
"Make way, God Wei's arrow is coming" - →"
"Is this the live broadcast room of Magellan eSports? I heard that the earth is round?"
"I heard that the anchor is a Tang Sect mid laner, why doesn't he play Tian Dao?"
…
Comments like these rolled across the screen crazily. Although there were occasional words of defense from fans, they still seemed pale and powerless in the face of the huge public opinion.
Not only did Wei Shen not turn on the camera, he also remained silent and just broadcast the game content. No matter how fast the rhythm in the live broadcast room was, he remained unmoved, which gave him a sense of "facing thousands of people's criticism with a cold brow".
The operation in the game is still superb, but the summoner's name "Optimistic we1lesszZZ" is particularly eye-catching. Obviously, the optimistic patriarch has officially taken office.
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions. Even if he was revisiting the old memories, the visual impact brought by this scene was still huge. It is conceivable that the protagonist who is in the public opinion will bear what kind of huge pressure...
Zhou Dongsheng thought for a while, opened his Shark platform account, and transferred some money into it. Then he returned to Wei Shen’s live broadcast room and saw the familiar airplane rocket on the gift column.
It was around the end of September that the Shark platform finally launched the core of the gift system, which included an airplane for 100 yuan and a large rocket for 500 yuan.
Also launched at the same time is the evil gift list function!
Compared with the previous unique reward system, not only can the anchor enjoy VIP treatment in the live broadcast room, but he also has to pay the corresponding live broadcast time to get paid.
These two gifts are undoubtedly more blatant. They not only raise the upper limit of the audience's gift giving, but also increase the host's desire threshold.
The days when you could get the host’s thanks by giving away free fish balls are gone forever...
But obviously, Zhou Dongsheng no longer has this worry. He casually fired a big rocket, followed by the second, the third...
As one huge rocket after another took off in Wei Shen’s live broadcast room, even the massive barrage of comments paused briefly, and then the screen was filled with “Oh my God!”
As for the two major gifts that the Shark platform has just launched, most users are still in the trial stage. The rocket banners that occasionally float by can easily attract a large number of viewers to grab the fish balls.
After all, these two heavy-duty gifts have only been online for a short time. Such high-end consumption that costs hundreds of dollars with just a click is obviously beyond the purchasing power of most users.
But it still does not stop them from enjoying watching others "spending money like water". When "Xu Ri Dong Sheng" casually gave away a rocket worth tens of thousands of dollars, a large number of users flocked to Wei Shen's live broadcast room, directly pushing the popularity of the live broadcast room to the first place in the entire site.
After delivering the gift, Zhou Dongsheng picked up his mobile phone, opened Wei Shen’s WeChat, and sent a message .
"Keep going, a temporary failure cannot negate your efforts and talent. In my mind, you are still the strongest domestic mid laner. If you can't stay in the LGD team, feel free to come to me!"
Zhou Dongsheng was inspired by this situation and broke his previous concerns about triggering the "butterfly effect".
However, Zhou Dongsheng didn't care. He just thought it was his own thing. If Wei Shen could work hard and lead the LPL region to break the darkness ahead of time because of his encouragement...
That seems to be a good result, but... I am afraid I don't have that much influence.
…
On the other side, Wei Shen, whose face was full of pits and bumps like the surface of the moon, was sitting in front of the computer and broadcasting live. When he completed a wave of operations and returned to the city, he suddenly discovered a series of large rockets rising in the live broadcast room.
This also made Wei Shen a little dazed. There were actually people sending gifts to support him, and there were so many gifts... This was the first time since he returned to China to live broadcast.
At this moment, the mobile phone beside him lit up. Wei Shen picked it up and had a complicated expression on his face. He felt mixed emotions and was inexplicable. After a long time, he could only sigh.
