Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 765: Dragon Riding on the Face
Two flowers bloom, each showing its own beauty.
While Wenxue Network was completing its financing, the first PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds Global Invitational, which was only supposed to last for a few days, had already reached its final day of competition.
After the "scandal" of contestants using plug-ins broke out on the first day of the competition, Zhou Dongsheng had no awareness of the idea that "family disgrace should not be made public."
What family scandal? If you are small-minded, this is simply a godsend.
The sacrifice of San Ge ignited the enthusiasm of the entire world game. How can we not praise such a fearless spirit of sacrificing the self for the greater good?
Therefore, under Zhou Dongsheng's instruction, Dongsheng Media's internet trolls went out in full force, seized this hot spot and widely spread it across the entire network, with remarkable results.
There is no special reason, it’s just a matter of practice!
Under Zhou Dongsheng's training, this team has now become a battle-hardened, experienced and brave team, and has become a master at adding fuel to the fire.
After the rematch of the opening match, the regrouped IM team finally lived up to expectations. Under the leadership of God Wei, they came out on top and successfully won their first chicken dish in the World Championship.
Although he did not achieve an eye-popping record of 29 kills, his 9 kills still allowed him to lead the kill list, and he completely lived up to his image as the target of public criticism, becoming a thorn in the eyes of many teams.
Without the variable of Asan Ge, the script of the World Championship returned to the right track.
But good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels far and wide. Even Dongsheng Media treated everyone equally and promoted the news that the Chinese team had a good start.
But obviously, during the dissemination process, the general public is more interested in unconventional news such as "players cheating in the game".
Especially on the hot search list, it directly landed in the top five, attracting a lot of attention to the first "PUBG" World Invitational and bringing a large wave of traffic to the event.
Although the IP of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds is popular all over the world, and the word "chicken eating" has become a popular online buzzword, how popular is it? Even if you are not a player, you have heard of it.
This is the true influence of “phenomenal IP”.
However, it is obvious that the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has a certain threshold, whether in terms of hardware limitations or technical operations. Even if Zhou Dongsheng has removed the biggest threshold of payment in advance, it will not help.
After all, this objective reality is obviously impossible to be reversed by Zhou Dongsheng in a single thought, which also means that a large number of users are destined to remain at the stage of interest.
They are not players, but they know something about it and don’t mind giving it a try if given the chance. This ambiguous group, like the “silent majority”, will always have a place in the mainstream.
And in the subtle process, a public consensus similar to the mark of the times is gradually formed, and slowly evolves into sentiment.
Once triggered by certain events, it is like a spark popping up from a corner, gradually forming a prairie fire of group resonance, which becomes more and more intense.
For example, IG won the championship!
I don’t know how many “ten-year veterans” revived overnight and directly overwhelmed all major game servers. On that night, this game undoubtedly returned to the fairyland on earth.
Although "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is still immature and does not have the accumulated foundation in this regard, it is able to leave some impression on the public thanks to the help of the phenomenal craze.
Coupled with the triggering of marketing events, many people belatedly realized that PUBG already has e-sports events and even a world championship stage.
With the convenience of the Internet, it is easy to click into a live broadcast room on a whim to join in the fun, and there are naturally many users like this.
For convenience, many users simply open the live broadcast platform on their mobile phones and start watching the game. This indirectly plays a similar role to word of mouth offline.
Regardless of whether it is direct or indirect, under the influence of various factors, the performance ultimately reflected in the data is naturally the real result.
After a successful start on the first day of competition, the popularity of the following three days of competition in the event live broadcast rooms of major live broadcast platforms increased dramatically every day, and the traffic continued to climb.
With the transformation of event content, a part of these traffic will naturally be converted into audience groups. Even if they have never played the game, it will not prevent them from watching the fun.
Just like the World Cup held every four years, even ordinary people who have never played football or even cared about football before can join in this world carnival without any obstacles.
Even if they are labeled as "cloud fans", it will not affect the public's fun of joining in the fun.
After all, it's human nature to join in the fun.
For major live streaming platforms, such good news is naturally welcomed. Although "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is very popular, it does not mean that the event will definitely be a success.
In this regard, there are already countless examples in e-sports, but obviously, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is not among them.
As major live streaming platforms were fighting each other in the "Thousands of Live Broadcast Wars", the top anchors also became more and more popular.
However, the sudden rise of PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds has created a new category among the top game anchors: [PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds]!
It not only provides opportunities for newcomers, but also gives other platforms the chance to overtake, and even triggers a round of industry reshuffle.
After all, the number of chips on the table has more than doubled, which undoubtedly adds too many variables to the competition in the industry.
Even the Zhanqi platform and Longzhu platform, which had been struggling to defend themselves in the "Thousands of Broadcast Wars" and gradually fell out of the leading positions, were forced to extend their lives by taking advantage of the popularity brought by the chicken-eating anchors.
Now with the increase in competition content, fresh blood has been injected into the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", and the landscape of the live broadcast industry has suddenly become confusing again.
To sum it up in one sentence, "The entire northwest is in chaos!"
Therefore, with the popularity of the "PUBG" world competition, the platforms that have tasted the sweetness naturally do not mind adding fuel to the fire and have tilted all their recommendation resources towards "PUBG".
Coincidentally, the League of Legends World Championship has just come to an end, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds has undoubtedly perfectly filled the gap in event content on the platform. Both parties get what they need and benefit each other.
But all good things must come to an end, and no matter how popular an event is, it will eventually come to an end.
When it came to the last day of the competition, the popularity of the event live broadcast rooms on major platforms directly exceeded 10 million, and the two major platforms like Shark and Tiger Tooth even more than doubled.
After rounding off, the combined popularity of the major platforms is approaching 100 million, almost surpassing the League of Legends World Championship, which has been in the works for 6 years.
Needless to say, there is much water in it. In order to make the data look better, major platforms have used all their own unique methods.
After all, only if the data is acceptable can you gain the favor of capital and obtain the chips to continue playing at the table.
Amidst such a grand occasion, the final day of competition also began. After today's competition is over, the team with the highest points will become the first world champion in the "PUBG" event!
And they will receive a bonus of one million US dollars, as well as a series of prizes including the first set of exclusive customized champion skins and stickers.
With three days of competition accumulated, the competition on the points list is now very close. The top five teams have the opportunity to be crowned champions, and those ranked slightly lower may also have the opportunity to cause an upset.
As for the team that is at the bottom of the points and can only run as a runner-up, they are determined to turn into water ghosts and get fully excited to drag everyone else down with them.
Since we have no hope of winning the championship, then don't even think about winning it easily. If we can unexpectedly defeat the seeded team... wouldn't that be a famous match that would make us famous?
Therefore, it is conceivable how intense the battle will be on the final day. To a certain extent, the game on the field at this moment represents the highest competitive level of the current "PUBG" event!
Perhaps as the competition develops, this game will be called the least valuable game, and the champion will be hailed as the worst world champion, but this will not hinder the players' urgent determination to win the championship at this moment.
What else is there to say? The only option is to fight!
After finishing his own work and having some free time, Zhou Dongsheng naturally did not miss the opportunity to witness the birth of the first championship.
After all, this championship trophy is the "Dongsheng Cup", and he will personally present the championship award.
Although it is still uncertain who will win the first championship, everything from games to competitions to teams are closely related to Zhou Dongsheng's interests.
No matter who wins or loses, for Zhou Dongsheng, it is just a matter of win-win or win-win-win.
No matter what the result is, Zhou Dongsheng has won anyway.
At this time, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but have a flash of enlightenment. No wonder successful people always like to say that you shouldn't care about temporary success or failure. Love really is "easy to talk without any pain"!
Now Zhou Dongsheng is not only standing, but also with his hands on his hips, so he can naturally immerse himself in experiencing the excitement of the game as he pleases.
During the break of the game, Zhou Dongsheng sneaked into the players' rest room as the team boss, sprinkled some chicken soup, and gave all the players a pre-match chicken blood BUFF.
"It's the last day of the competition. As players, you all know the truth of e-sports better than me, the boss, that the winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. The success of half a year of hard work depends on this game!"
"I hope that the team that takes the championship medal from me will be you, not anyone else."
"Come on, boys, win the championship trophy that belongs to you!"
Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand and said no more. Whether it was Wei Shen who wanted to clear his grievances, or Mo Zi who wanted to use her daughter's body to prove that female professional players could also hold up half the sky .
Or maybe they were two new young players who wanted to achieve peak achievement as soon as they debuted, and there was a gleam of desire in their eyes.
"Come on!" Everyone shouted this sentence in unison. There is no need to say more. The truth will be revealed on the field!
As the game started, everyone gathered in that familiar small room again, chatting and laughing while waiting for the result of the game.
"You have a really good eye, you really found a treasure. Who would have thought that Wei Shen, a player, has such a strong e-sports talent. Not only does he excel in League of Legends, he is also not inferior to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds!"
"Damn it, why do all the good things fall on you!" As he spoke, Principal Wang couldn't help but swear and said indignantly.
The IM team has both strength and achievements, and its traffic and hype are maxed out. It is simply the star of the arena.
For Principal Wang, who loves to be in the limelight, watching others in the limelight is more painful than killing him.
"Your team is not bad. At least they have entered the World Championship. The important thing is to participate!" Zhou Dongsheng said something irrelevant. At this time in the standings, IG had fallen out of the first tier and lost the possibility of winning the championship.
"Fuck, don't be too proud, let's just wait and see. Next year I will form a galactic battleship to challenge your championship team!" Principal Wang's desire to win was aroused.
"Well, it's just a matter of time. It's too early to say that we are the champion team now. Let's talk about it after we win the championship!" Zhou Dongsheng waved his hand nonchalantly, but the smile on his face betrayed him.
Although the charm of competitive sports comes from the unknown, sometimes when the right time, place and people are all in place, only variables can turn the tide.
However, the biggest variable is that the "god-like" Asan Ge has been carried away by the entire team. On the court, the IM players, who are in a hot competitive state and cooperating more and more tacitly, have also adopted a steady and cautious strategy.
He showed an attitude of being very meticulous about points and not giving up until he won the championship. He chose the jungle strategy from the beginning and kept hovering around the poison circle, carefully allowing his opponents to fight in the circle.
There is a bit of the feeling of the mantis stalking the cicada while the oriole is behind. Although in the competition system, the points brought by a large number of kills are not even worse than eating chicken, it also means extremely high risks.
The benefits of high kills and low ranking are far less than those of high ranking and low kills. Moreover, after a few days of competition, you will have a full understanding of your opponent.
After all, professional players are not pushovers. If they want to play to the same level as Ah San Ge who crushes everyone else, the only way is to cheat.
As the team itself is quite strong and has adopted a steady and iron-clad strategy, the IM team is getting closer and closer to the championship trophy, only one step away.
At this moment, the home advantage was demonstrated unprecedentedly. Whether it was the increasingly passionate voice of the commentator or the constant agitation of the audience, it added an exciting color to the entire stadium.
"Good! Team IM's steady and cautious tactics were implemented very successfully. Now they have successfully entered the finals. There are only four teams in the finals!"
"The IM team is currently leading the standings. Unless any of the other three teams can directly wipe out the other three teams and win the game with a high number of kills, IM will most likely win the championship! "
These words were transmitted through the microphone to Zhou Dongsheng's ears in the audience room, making Zhou Dongsheng touch his nose and feel very uncomfortable.
My goodness, isn’t this the same as “How can you lose when a dragon hits your face”?
This FLAG has been set up. If this can be reversed, wouldn’t it become another good story in the "PUBG" arena?
Although from the perspective of the development of the event, this kind of "famous" story is more conducive to the spread...
But from a personal point of view, Zhou Dongsheng really doesn't want to see such a thing happen. He just wants a stable happiness...
