The scandal of Lu Fei and Gao Yuanyuan's love affair spread slowly and gradually fermented without the parties involved doing anything or stopping it.
But everyone who should know about it already knows about it, and netizens who don't know about it outside the circle know about it, but they only pay attention to it temporarily. There is no shortage of scandals about rich and famous stars, and the popularity is like a gust of wind, coming and going quickly.
On the contrary, more and more people are turning their attention to the WCG Finals with Gao Yuanyuan as the image promotion ambassador.
After all, everyone online these days who is not a gamer is eager for domestic players to win the first WCG championship!
Even many game companies are looking forward to it, hoping to rectify the name of online games and get rid of the bad reputation of "electronic porn".
"Brother, CS, StarCraft have all been defeated, and only the Warcraft project is left alone."
Chen Danian held his mobile phone and kept refreshing the text live broadcast. At this moment, he had no airs of a Shanda executive and was just like a player.
"Winning or losing doesn't matter."
But Chen Tianqiao didn't care, staring straight at the computer. The screen was displaying New Wolf's US stock price and information.
"How can this not be important? We have bought a lot of WCG tickets. If there are no Chinese people in the finals of all events, how can we give away tickets?"
Chen Danian smacked his lips, ""Legend" also hopes that this 'Old players return to give away tickets' event can save some traffic."
"Don't just focus on the activities, look at the e-sports platform created by Penguin. This is a big business!"
Chen Tianqiao narrowed his eyes, and the penguin made big moves frequently.
QQ Voice, a battle platform under its name, not only became independent from the game hall, but also opened up a game broadcast channel and integrated it with the chat room to form "Penguin E-Sports."
Thanks to the friendship between Lu Fei and SMG wearing a pair of trousers, "Game Storm" was directly logged on and became a permanent platform.
With the resounding brand name of WCG and strong promotion from Penguin, Sogou, NetEase and other traffic sources, the starting point of Penguin E-sports’ debut is the end point of many websites and clients.
It’s only been 2 days since the game started, and the number of registered users has exceeded 2 million.
"Brother, do you mean that we also make Haofang a similar competitor?"
Chen Danian frowned, "Can the live broadcast platform make money? Why don't we just wait and see for a while and see how Mr. Lu operates?"
"Don't worry about Mr. Lu, let's make a plan ourselves first."
Chen Tianqiao was very excited. The e-sports live broadcast platform was absolutely in line with the box plan. The most important thing was the ban on broadcasting by the General Administration of Optoelectronics, which completely eliminated the broadcast of game content on TV. Isn't this a god-given opportunity?
Damn it, the online writing is one step behind Mr. Lu, and the e-sports live broadcast platform is one step behind Mr. Lu!
"Okay, listen to your big brother."
Chen Danian agreed nonchalantly, his eyes returned to the phone, and his expression suddenly changed:
"Damn it, I won! Brother, I won!"
"The WCG2004 World Finals yesterday entered the eight-to-four elimination round. In the World of Warcraft event, my country's third seed player xiaoT unfortunately lost to Zacard, the King of Stick Beasts...
In the death promotion group, the second seed player Sky faced the world-famous beast king Grubby and the racially incompatible Nigh. Before the game, Sky said in his own words that he was ready to be eliminated, but due to his hard training, he finally won
The favor of the goddess of victory.
He and No. 1 seed Suho lived up to expectations and both advanced to today's semifinals."
The page displayed on the computer stays in the video area of "Penguin Esports".
Lu Fei did not click on the live broadcast website. His phone kept spinning between his fingers, and he saw the message from Zeng Liqing coming from the [Antarctic Goose City] group:
[Mr. Lu, the results of the draw are out, suho versus moon, zacard versus sky, the first game has now begun.]
[How many people are online simultaneously displayed in the background?]
[It has exceeded yesterday’s peak, with daily active users exceeding 720,000. If there is a civil war in the finals, this peak will definitely exceed one million.]
[Add more servers, open more lines...]
Lu Fei was typing on the keyboard and suddenly saw the score of "suho:moon" changed from "0:0" to "0:1".
Only less than 5 minutes!
"Yeah, you can't be like lols7 and watch the civil war between sticks in the Bird's Nest. That would be embarrassing and embarrassing!"
He turned around on his phone irritably, not even bothering to read the text message from Ivanka that "Saw" was about to be released.
After a while, the result was as expected, Suho was obviously no match for Moon.
Now, the pressure is all on Sky!
…………
Bangzi, Samsung Electronics.
"0-2 sweep, right? Is it the Wings club?"
Li Zaiyong crossed his arms and spoke condescendingly through the landline. He kept in touch with the team leader in China and paid attention to the battle situation in real time.
Park Zhengyi said: "Ah, no, it's the wings club's turn in the next game."
Lee Jae-yong said in a serious tone: "Leader Park, don't forget your military order when you go to the expedition. You must win the WCG championship!"
"President, please rest assured, I am 100% sure!"
Park Zhengyi said loudly: "Even if Sky beats Zacard by luck, there is still a moon stage in the finals, but there is no such possibility. Zacard will definitely win. The only question is how long it will take."
"Okay, very good! You tell the players to win as hard as they can, and I will give you a big reward when the time comes!"
Lee Jae-yong felt indescribably happy, finally having the opportunity to vent his arrogance after being defeated twice at the hands of logic.
"President, please rest assured."
After Park Zhengyi hung up the phone, he conveyed the Samsung Crown Prince's will to Zacard, who was waiting to come on stage.
Zacard smiled coldly and said: "He? I don't take him seriously at all. His strength is probably the same as the xiaoT I met yesterday. If I can eliminate him, I can also eliminate this sky."
"Beat him 2-0 and turn the stage that the Chinese people have worked so hard to host into a civil war for our club!"
Park Zhengyi patted his shoulder gently.
Moon, who closed his eyes to rest, opened his eyes and said slowly: "I think Sky's strength is extraordinary, so don't take it lightly."
"Hmph, don't be afraid. No matter what, the total number of people is now 2 to 1."
Park Zhengyi put his hands on his hips and raised his chin: "The advantage is mine!"
……………
At the same time, the Yunfei Internet Cafe in Yanjing was packed with more than fifty computers.
The screen was almost entirely filled with the live broadcast of Penguin Esports. Under the host's announcement, Zacard and Li Xiaofeng stepped onto the stage one after another.
"Hey, why don't you look?"
Huang Bin, who had not grabbed the opportunity, stood behind his classmate Liu Hao and watched him close the platform and log in to the Singularity Chinese website.
Liu Hao kept shaking his legs, "I won't watch it anymore. I won't watch it anymore. I'm just going to get angry. If I lose, my good mood for the day will be gone."
Huang Bin curled his lips: "Bah, bah, crow's mouth, who said you will definitely lose, what if you win!"
"Win? Sky will be the second seed. Even the first seed Suho lost to Moon. Even if he makes it to the finals, it will be a giveaway!"
Liu Hao cursed and said: "Damn it, the Asian Cup started so well and we all lost. When will China stand up?"
"Fart, why didn't you stand up? Don't you stand up at the Olympics!"
Huang Bin replied: "Brother Xiang tied the Olympic record with 12.91 and won the gold medal in the 110-meter hurdles. Do you dare to say that you are not awesome?"
"Okay, then it has to be awesome."
Liu Hao was speechless for a moment. He heard a burst of silent hissing in his ears, but he couldn't help but poke his head towards the next door.
On a map shrouded in the fog of war, Sky actually manipulated farmers who had ended their militia status and built an ivory tower in Zacard's lair.
"Damn it, does this person know how to play? The sword master of the beast tribe will come out later and kill a militiaman with a few swords. Isn't that a bonus of experience?"
"Why build so many towers? Do you still have money to recruit heroes?"
"You guys know nothing, this is Sky's most classic TR flow."
"..."
The Internet cafe was suddenly full of people talking and noisy. Some keyboard warriors mocked Sky for losing, while others silently supported it.
Liu Hao's heart was pounding when he saw the start of this desperate gamble. He wanted to read it but didn't dare to look down. He pretended to be dismissive and looked away, chasing the latest chapter of "Mercenary Continent", but he couldn't continue.
I can't see a single punctuation mark.
Next to my ears, someone would scream from time to time.
"Coming, coming, the migrant workers are coming, the Archmage is coming with the water elemental mang!"
"The damage of this arrow tower is too high. The Sword Master is going to die. The Sword Master doesn't have the mana to activate Wind Step..."
Liu Hao couldn't help it any longer and secretly took a few glances out of the corner of his eye. His pupils suddenly shook and his eyes were dull.
I saw arrow towers one after another, like machine gun fire, making it easy for the orcs to take care of themselves, and the word "GG" was typed in the chat box on the screen the next second.
"Ah Hao, Sky is so strong. How long do you think it will take? Less than 5 minutes, less than 5 minutes!"
Huang Bin was so excited that he put his hands on his classmates' shoulders and shook them excitedly.
Others were not much better, screaming, applauding, and cheering together.
"The sky is awesome, the wings are awesome!"
The entire Internet cafe was completely boiling. After the haze of suho's tragic defeat to moon just now, they are back, their morale and confidence are back!
Huang Bin giggled blankly, staring at the live broadcast with dull eyes. In the picture, Zacard, who was sitting in the competition cabin, was even worse. He was beaten by TR waves and his head went blank.
"Impossible, how is it possible?"
He took a few deep breaths and tried to regain his composure.
The reason why I look down on sky is because I know that he can only win with TR tactics. It’s not that I haven’t thought of countermeasures, nor that I’m unprepared, but I know that he beats people in this way, but there is nothing he can do, and he is still beaten.
He was unable to fight back.
He can't win, he can't win at all! Unless the next person is not a human, he can't play TR!
Suffocating pressure is coming, and a kind of despair is eating away at confidence.
"Oh my god, Sky doesn't choose the human race?"
However, at this moment, an uproar broke out at the scene, and the competition cabin could not completely block such a violent sound.
Zacard raised his eyes when he heard the sound, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Haha, you bastard, you didn't choose the human race, but you dared to choose the dark night. Who gave you the courage to play dark night in front of me, the most powerful beast king!"
"Mr. Lu said that he wanted to kill someone to punish his heart. I don't know if this counts as killing someone to punish his heart..."
Li Xiaofeng's eyes were as bright as a torch, and his eyes were unusually firm. The "Blowing Wind" that specializes in defeating the orcs in the dark night flashed through his mind.
