The LPL regular season ends in mid-April, and the MSI mid-season championship is scheduled by Riot Games in early May, so the subsequent LPL spring playoffs schedule is relatively tight.
But that has nothing to do with edg who qualified for the top spot.
The playoffs adopt a bubble tournament format, with the third and fourth teams in each group fighting each other one by one. The winner will challenge the second place team in each group. After the challenge with the second team is completed, the winner will then play against the first place team in each group.
In the end, the winners of the upper and lower halves will determine the final champion.
edg had more than a week to fully prepare.
During this period, although the endorsements and advertisements were postponed as much as possible until after the competition because we were in the preparation period, there were still some activities that had too much money and activities that were very important and must be attended.
The first is the endorsement advertisement of the international big brand Intel.
The manufacturer paid a large price and prepared to release it in the LPL playoffs, MSI and even the summer split.
Not only that, the partners promised to launch large-scale advertising videos on various websites and offline platforms in the future.
Meixia and the factory director each took a video.
It is the famous [The world focuses on you!]
This time the advertisement was made into two films, one featuring director Jinx’s four kills, and the other one featuring Katarina’s five kills.
After shooting the promotional video, the next official activity is to promote the edg champion skin in the national server.
On April 20, the first round of the LPL playoffs was completed, and the edg championship skin was launched simultaneously with version 7.7.
It has to be said that the Seven Sauce Champion skin happened to be released in version 7.7. Although Riot Games did not explicitly say whether it was paying tribute to the factory director’s new ID, almost everyone was certain that this could not be a coincidence.
Since deft and pawn have transferred and left, the domestic live broadcast platform they signed with is different from edg. Even several champion players in the edg team signed with different platforms.
deft and pawn were on Panda Live, the director, mouse and meiko were poached by Huya Live, and Meixia alone was renewed by the Douyu platform.
Therefore, this time for the first LPL championship, there was actually a situation where everyone could not get together in the same frame in the second year.
Fortunately, the Douyu platform is still very generous to Mei Xia. It changed the homepage to a background image that combines Syndra's champion skin and Mei Xia's photo. Huya also posted promotional pictures of the other three people in the same frame, satisfying the basic needs of fans for carnival.
.
Moreover, it is also possible to cheat on different platforms.
Since the champion skin is not released globally at the same time, deft and pawn have already played their champion skin on the Korean server last week, so today it is the remaining four people from edg, plus the director Ai Tu and anchor Ai Loli, and the five-person queue starts
National service promotion.
At seven o'clock, Meixia broadcast the live broadcast on time.
The live broadcast room was overcrowded, and it was even more lively than the LPL playoffs two days ago. Every moment, barrages in red font "We are the Grand Slam!" were floating in every corner of the screen.
She opened the game client, and the main event interface was decorated with photos of Edg's championship last year. She didn't need to click on the mall, but clicked on the event details directly to jump to the interface for drawing boxes and purchasing skins.
Miuka is not interested in things like picking out boxes.
She clicked directly to buy the champion skin gift package.
The preview image of the gift pack is marked with a price reduction of 6.6% off. It contains six skins and is priced at 312,840 points, which is equivalent to just over 300 RMB.
When sold individually, each skin costs RMB 79.
The pricing is the same as the championship skins in previous years. Mei Xia feels that the national server planning has finally saved her parents this time, and the popularity of the first LPL championship is not worth the money - after all, she was stunned when she saw the 6.6% discount. According to the planning's sensitivity to numbers
, actually did not change the 66% off to 23% off according to the director’s latest 777 joke, it is definitely a conscientious discovery!
The teammates in the microphone were still in the purchase stage, so Mei Xia bought the hero first and entered the training camp.
In fact, there is no need to turn on the microphone.
In the background, all the sounds are of mouse shouting loudly to promote his skin.
"Take a look and shop around, the champion skin costs 79 yuan. If you can't buy it, you will suffer a loss and you won't be fooled!"
"Look at this big tree, you feel very safe just by looking at it! This elegant gourd vine and these ultimate vines!"
"And this signature, mouse! How handsome!"
Hearing this through the microphone, Meiko and the factory director couldn't help but laugh.
The signature player of the champion skin can be modified many times to get the most beautiful version and submit it, so it is not considered ugly.
The mouse signature is not a question of whether it is ugly or not, it should be written with a bit of abstraction.
Originally, the five letters were all lowercase, all uppercase, or capital M followed by lowercase, but he actually changed it to uppercase M, lowercase ous, and changed the last E back to uppercase. What's even more outrageous is that the last capitalized E was completed in one stroke. It looked like
It's [giant] with a vertical line on the left and a break in the middle.
A similar situation occurs on u. The strokes on the right side that should be connected are separated. If you don't look carefully at the arc in the middle, you might think it is the letter N.
The barrage also teased his signature.
[My grandma has to say monss when signing her name]
[Obama didn’t even recognize the last word when he came!]
[Is the last symbol drawn by the host a snake? 】
Mouse is very proud of his artistic level.
"How about it, my original capital e! Have you never seen this way of writing?"
"My niece in elementary school copied English letters like this." Ai Luoli's words made the audience in the live broadcast room suddenly realize.
Mouse was still arguing, "That's different. What I call art, it shouldn't be possible to write in the way I do..."
"But let me tell you something, the most beautiful thing is the signature of the factory director! Mouse's signature is pretty good too, but the most incomprehensible ones are the signatures of deft-senpai and meiko-senpai. Are they really in English?" Mikka commented along the way.
Teammate's signature level.
The signature of the factory director is in smooth English "clearlove", which is indeed neat, beautiful and highly recognizable.
The signatures of meiko and deft are like dragons and phoenixes dancing, and it’s hard to tell which letters they are composed of.
As for Mika herself...
To be honest, her writing skills in English were average in her previous life, and she only learned katakana in this life, so she didn’t know how to write beautifully. She also had no experience in signing for a long time, so she followed the mouse path - writing as neatly as possible.
Finally, draw a heart and it's cute.
Anyway, this year is the first time that a player signature has been added to the champion skin, so it only has the special effects of returning to the city but not the original painting of the signature. The ultimate move signed by the champion can be reserved for next year!
——The so-called ultimate move is a signature in Chinese. She has experience in time travel and knows very well that the champion’s signature can be signed not only in English but also in other words.
She has already made up her mind to sign in English for the first time, Chinese for the second time, and Katakana for the third time after winning the championship!
Winners in the United States are signed in English, winners in China are signed in Chinese, and winners in South Korea are signed in katakana—well, katakana and Korean are both pinyin characters, so they still have so many things in common!
After each showed their skin to the audience, the five of them entered the room in groups.
Generally speaking, this kind of live broadcast platform for promotional activities will find team anchors to play exhibition games with players. They can attract traffic to popular anchors in an open and honest manner, and the money will not flow out of the field.
But the five people on edg are divided into two live broadcast platforms.
No matter how cooperative the two rival platforms are, Douyu and Huya, it is impossible for two anchors to take advantage of each other.
Therefore, edg is composed of five people who directly start the group queue in the national server.
On that day, many big anchors and high-scoring EDG fans started to queue up for sniping. Because the high-scoring teams were basically limited to those teams, it was easy for Miha and her teammates to queue up.
The result, of course, was that the aircraft carrier hit the small wooden boat and broke into pieces upon impact.
But even if they lose, these anchors are very happy to get traffic, and they are also helping Meixia promote the skin.
"Syndra, who is facing Mika, feels very comfortable being covered with gauze!"
"Does Syndra's skin have an attack power bonus? Why is Person A so painful?"
"The weak ones seem to retreat faster and farther than ordinary skins!"
The audience took these words back to the Summer Live broadcast room.
[I heard from xx that the champion skin adds 10 points of attack power, buy it quickly!]
[Syndra’s champion skin has a combo length of 20 centimeters!]
[Buy the champion skin and it will be twenty centimeters long!]
Faced with false propaganda coming from other live broadcast rooms, Meixia resolutely refutes the rumors.
"The skin does not increase attack power!"
"The retreat of the weak is also a normal distance, but I use eq, so it seems faster."
"But this skin feels really good. The most important thing is that the redone model is made according to my look. It looks great!"
【???】
[One thing to say, if I can pay for Mika-chan’s figure, I will buy it! 】
[I suddenly understood why the fist did not reproduce the Syndra model one-to-one according to Mika-chan's figure. The judgment range was directly reduced by a large circle, which was contrary to the balance when the attack power was increased by ten points! 】
The interaction that day was full of laughter and laughter.
