Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 587 It's Him
Zhou Xing'er naturally also forwarded this Weibo post, "I will cherish this opportunity to prove that girls can also perform well in the professional arena!"
Although his personal Weibo account only has about 200,000 followers, this gimmicky Weibo post easily became a hot search.
I didn’t expect that just after the game PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds announced its e-sports direction, the first professional PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds player officially announced by the club was actually a female player!
The news that IM e-sports club officially announced the first professional player of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds soon caused widespread discussion on Weibo, and everyone focused on the photo of Zhou Xing'er.
"Fuck, a ten-year IM fan came uninvited!"
"Just for IM, the captain, IM will be my main team from now on!"
"I am an 18-year-old genius gunner. I have already submitted my resume. I hope you will not be ungrateful!"
"Please give me a chance to realize my dream. I am willing to work hard for the e-sports industry, even to the point of sacrificing my life and blood!"
It has to be said that Zhou Xing'er's curvy figure, wrapped in a team uniform, creates a stimulation for the player group that is roughly the same as the effect of a football babe or a basketball babe.
From this point of view, the reason why e-sports can be included in the official sports is found. It is also a place for countless audiences to place their passion and hormones that have nowhere to go...
But in comparison, Zhou Xing'er is not just a vase, but a real professional player!
Compared to traditional sports, where female athletes have natural physical disadvantages, e-sports are undoubtedly closer to the concept of "gender equality" to a certain extent.
This has been proven through the history of e-sports development by outstanding female e-sports players, including Tossgirl, the shining queen on the StarCraft stage!
Whether it was her good looks or her amazing APM of 300+, she shined on the e-sports stage and became one of the most outstanding female e-sports players in the world at that time.
Countless players were impressed by her strength and charm, even the Human Emperor s ky was no exception, hence the name "Empress".
In addition, Xiao Cang, who became an Olympic torchbearer as an e-sports player, and Miss, who is now known as the e-sports goddess, are also excellent female e-sports players.
In China, where games are viewed as a scourge, the prejudice in the minds of the general public is like a mountain. It .
Most boys cannot withstand the pressure of such stereotypes, let alone girls?
That is why female e-sports players are extremely scarce, and those who can stand out from the many professional players are even rarer.
Even for many viewers who have just started paying attention to the e-sports industry, Zhou Xing'er is very likely the first female professional player they have seen in the true sense.
Apart from the novelty, most viewers still subconsciously hold stereotypes and prejudices.
"It's obviously hype. How good can such a pretty girl be at playing games?"
"This is the first time I've heard that girls can be professional gamers. I'm afraid you're here to make fun of me, right?"
"I'm speechless. Can't you just be a good anchor? Why do you have to come out and make trouble..."
There are many such remarks, and even more overly explicit remarks cannot be revealed due to the indescribable power.
Amid the passionate discussions among countless netizens, the hot search term [The first female player in PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds] rushed all the way to the top ten of Weibo's hot search list and entered the public's field of vision.
From a marketing perspective, this was undoubtedly an extremely successful marketing event. Not only did it attract public attention, but it also allowed the "PUBG" e-sports event to receive exposure of no less than tens of millions.
At the same time, Zhou Xing'er, who is at the center of the storm and the target of public criticism, is also likely to become the biggest winner.
Such a large amount of traffic and attention is an invisible boost to her career and live streaming career.
However, as the public heatedly debated the label of "female e-sports players", some even said that "girls are not suitable to be e-sports players"...
As the scope of discussion of this matter expanded further, such arrogant and prejudiced arguments became more and more common, and some people immediately became restless.
Xiao Cang, who truly represents the label of female e-sports players, expressed support through action and reposted the Weibo post.
"The opportunity that got me into e-sports was when I saw Colagirl defeat her opponents in a competition. That's when I realized that girls can also become professional players. I hope Captain Zhou can prove himself. Come on!"
Being able to become an Olympic torchbearer as an e-sports player is enough to prove Xiao Cang's influence in the domestic e-sports industry.
At the same time, Xiao Cang also tried to form a women's team and do her part for women's e-sports, but ended up in an unsuccessful attempt.
Now, seeing Zhou Xing'er at the center of the storm, Xiao Cang, the veteran, was deeply touched. He immediately chose to express his support and also called on his e-sports friends to forward the message together.
Sister Cang's words attracted countless responses, even the Human Emperor Sky stood up and expressed his support.
With the appearance of veteran professional players, it seems that this matter is no longer simply limited to the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", but has risen to the level of domestic e-sports.
As more people join in, the fire burns higher. The topic's position on the hot searches has climbed up step by step, directly entering the top five!
When the topic becomes so popular, it is obviously no longer confined to the scope of the e-sports circle. Both game anchors and e-sports media have spoken out.
Whether they are trying to take advantage of the popularity and share the traffic, or simply want to provide support, it undoubtedly helps to push the topic up in popularity.
Principal Wang, who loves to join in the fun, naturally would not miss such a good opportunity. Whether as the chairman of the e-sports league or as a shareholder of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, he is a member of a community of interests.
Therefore, it was natural for Principal Wang to speak out.
"It's a pity that such a good player is not in our IG. Captain Zhou, please consider it. Money is not a problem!"
With the help of Principal Wang, the number one internet celebrity on Weibo, the topic immediately became the number one hot search.
Principal Wang naturally did not think that this was his own credit. At most, he was just the icing on the cake. At the same time, he couldn't help but sigh.
"This kid Zhou Dongsheng... is really getting better and better at using public opinion. He actually came up with something like this. He is worthy of being called such a great guy!"
So far, the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds professional league has become popular before it even started, and has received unprecedented attention. Many e-sports clubs that had not made up their minds before, if they have not reacted now...
That only proves that there is a reason why their club is not running well.
At the same time, in a dim room, a geek wearing glasses sat in front of a glowing screen, and the video rendering progress bar on the computer was moving.
While waiting, Peng Liang habitually checked his Weibo on his mobile phone. When he saw the topic that topped the hot search list, a light flashed across his lenses!
"If you don't take advantage of the popularity, you're a bastard!"
