The popularity of the "Breakout" challenge continues to rise.
There are a lot of teams signing up every day.
While Lin Yao was determining the schedule and thinking about whether to make a CG short film for the finals, she also held several meetings with the core figures of the studio to discuss whether there were any oversights.
Now the heat is on.
She also cheered up, fearing that something would go wrong during the game.
If something goes wrong during this kind of event, it will be fatal.
The public opinion that is now favorable to Linmu Studio will also turn into a monster that devours Linmu Studio.
Lin Yao had to guard against it.
The entire Linmu Studio started to work like crazy because of the "Breakout" challenge.
As for the situation overseas, it is also very good.
After small-scale testing and getting very good feedback.
With the help of Reflecta, "Breakout" launched an open beta overseas, and the final result was still beyond Lin Yao's expectations. After the open beta, even the average online time did not drop much.
The popularity of "Breakout" is evident.
And just when Lin Yao was so busy with competitions and two games under her banner.
Reflecta Zhang Jianghu’s phone number also came.
Lin Yao picked up the phone before she could speak.
Zhang Jianghu smiled heartily on the other end of the phone and said: "Congratulations, Mr. Lin, "Breakout" is very popular overseas, and the competition your studio is about to hold is even more popular."
Lin Yao replied very politely: "I'm glad that Reflecta graphics cards are also selling a lot, right?"
"That's also thanks to you."
Zhang Jianghu smiled, and after a few pleasantries, the conversation changed and got down to business: "Mr. Lin, I have a suggestion, what do you think?"
"What proposal?"
"We would like to...appreciate your studio's competition and provide technical support throughout the process."
Zhang Jianghu looked like a rich man: "We at Reflecta are willing to pay half of your studio's challenge prize this time. No matter how much it ends up being, we are willing to pay half."
Lin Yao smiled when she heard this and did not rush to agree. Instead, she asked: "...are there any conditions?"
Zhang Jianghu said politely: "It's not a condition, it just takes our partnership a step further. We want to be the only partner of the event, and let the Reflecta graphics card's logo appear on the competition map. This is for your studio.
It shouldn’t be difficult, right?”
"I can promise you this."
Lin Yao thought for a while and replied: "But, in addition to your Reflecta, we will also display the graphics card brand of Linmu Financial Holdings at the event..."
Lin Yao told the other party that the event would also promote graphics cards under LMU Financial Holdings.
"……Can."
After Zhang Jianghu heard what Lin Yao said, he agreed without hesitation for long.
The graphics cards owned by Linmu Financial Holdings all use Reflecta chips, which is actually a good thing for them.
"Then Reflecta is willing to support the competition of our small studio, I am very grateful."
Lin Yao was quite satisfied after hearing what he said.
It's a win-win situation.
For Linmu Studio, the bonus pool is increased and technical support can be obtained.
For Reflecta, the competition is a very good publicity channel.
But the idea just came to her.
Zhang Jianghu spoke again: "Mr. Lin, actually I have another request..."
"Um?"
"There are some players overseas who want to participate in the event, but I don't know where you are..."
"Overseas, how many are there?"
"Thousands of people."
"Thousands of people!?"
Lin Yao was shocked for a moment, and her voice rose a lot.
etc.
Not really.
Traveling across the ocean to participate in the competition of the open beta game...
"These are FPS enthusiasts. They heard about our competition and were very interested. Of course, this is just the number of people we launched a survey and said they were willing to come and participate in the competition. There are not that many players who will actually come to compete in China.
, the main force is still a few old clubs."
"this……"
Lin Yao was shocked and then hesitated.
No way.
If a large number of overseas players really come over, what should we do?
Even if it’s an online competition, you have to give these people accounts, right?
Let them find their own translators? Or add overseas localized versions to the national server?
But registering an account is only the first step.
There are still a lot of troubles ahead.
"I know this will cause trouble to your studio, but we at Reflecta will do our best to provide all support and help you."
Zhang Jianghu heard Lin Yao's hesitation and immediately said: "We are responsible for arranging the players. You only need to pay attention to the competition, but I hope that after overseas players participate, your studio will not stick to online
Offline competitions can be held in the top 16 or quarterfinals. We can also provide support in this regard, whether it is venue, technology, or government issues... In fact, the city also hopes to hold such a competition.
Mr. Lin, you can give it a try."
Lin Yao: "..."
"Lin Yao."
At this time.
Mu Wanqing trotted over, looking very anxious.
She didn't even care that Lin Yao was talking on the phone, so she leaned directly into her ear and whispered: "The city's Propaganda Department called to inquire and asked if we wanted to hold an offline competition...
"
"..."
Lin Yao looked at Mu Wanqing and fell silent again.
No way.
I really want to come.
A small studio of my own.
There will be an offline e-sports event in the first year...
"Mr. Lin?"
At this time.
Zhang Jianghu noticed that Lin Yao was silent and took the initiative to call her.
"...Is this what Reflecta expects?"
Lin Yao came back to her senses and asked: "Such a big move, just for a few clubs, isn't it worth it?"
"worth."
Zhang Jianghu replied softly: "Actually, Mr. Lin, the popularity of "Breakout" not only exceeded our expectations domestically, but also exceeded our expectations overseas. Overseas, AIB's relationship with major game manufacturers
All good, let me tell the truth, we want to seize the overseas game graphics card market, you are very important, and "Breakout" is very important."
"...let me think about it."
Lin Yao frowned slightly, and after thinking for a while, she didn't agree immediately.
"Okay, but I hope you can reply to me as soon as possible, because the competition is about to start, and preparations for offline competitions will take a certain amount of time."
"I see."
Lin Yao nodded, and then the two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.
After hanging up the phone.
Lin Yao put down her phone and lowered her head to think.
"Miss Mu, what do you think?"
Lin Yao suddenly looked up at Mu Wanqing and asked.
Mu Wanqing thought for a while and replied: "Actually, offline competition is possible, but time is a bit tight and there is too little preparation time, so it will be very rushed."
