The E-Sports Festival is in full swing, and as time goes by, the popularity is getting higher and higher.
In fact, the popularity of e-sports festivals in previous years was not low.
The system of championships and leagues.
Maintain the exposure of the event.
The e-sports festival officially organized by Linmu Studio is equivalent to a year-end exam.
Not to mention those players who usually go to watch leagues or tournaments, they will definitely come to watch the year-end exam.
As for those players who do not watch the league, or occasionally watch one or two games of the league, as long as they play related games, they will generally be interested in this kind of showdown between the top domestic and foreign teams.
No matter how bad it is, I will keep paying attention.
After all, the E-Sports Festival only happens once a year, and only a super-large event like the E-Sports Festival can attract so many top teams and players.
To a greater or lesser extent, other competitions will have problems such as insufficient gold content and incomplete participating teams.
In addition, this year’s E-Sports Festival has an extra link.
It attracted a lot of people who didn’t pay attention to the event.
These people may have chosen to start the live broadcast because new games were revealed at the opening ceremony, and then happened to play one or two of the games themselves.
Then I even watched the game...
It can be said to be the second explosion of popularity of e-sports festivals.
In addition, the competition cannot be completed in one day.
The group stages, knockout rounds, semi-finals and finals of multiple events add up to a long time.
And as more teams are eliminated and the schedule reaches the second half, the topic will become higher.
This is an advantage that activities such as the Global Game Awards do not have. No matter how well-run such activities are, the topicality is time-limited.
After a short burst, the heat will quickly decrease.
What's more, it also collided with the e-sports festival...
The E-Sports Festival is different. Although the topic is also time-limited, the time limit is indeed much longer.
If there could have been one or two fateful duels back then... the popularity would have been even higher.
For example... the duel between the twin stars of the domestic "Breakout" project, Feiren and No. 1.
They fell in love with each other all the way from the first finals to now.
Members of both teams have been replaced, and their results have also had ups and downs.
But as long as it is their game, it can be said that everyone is watching it.
Just like the pig-dog battle in Lin Yao's previous life, it's just that this is not a collision of the souls of the two teams, and the subsequent topics. The players simply like and are deeply impressed by the two teams.
After all, they are the strongest domestic team in the first "Breakout" Challenge, and they have been together till now.
One team is composed of idle people, and the other team is composed of college students in a dormitory.
The members of the two teams have a good relationship and often talk to each other.
It's really topical.
And this year.
They reached the semifinals together and were assigned to the same half.
It is guaranteed that there will be a domestic team in the finals.
Once again, the fateful battle begins where only one team can move forward.
So, long before this game starts.
The players started——
"Victors advance with my strength!"
"Don't forget me! feiren/no.1!"
"I must win the championship and take my share of glory with me!"
"It's time to show off!"
"The top of the Forbidden City!"
"..."
Live comments.
The game hasn't started yet.
Players started to swipe the screen like crazy.
I just feel gay in gay...
And of course, as the organizer, it is impossible to turn a blind eye to such a competition.
There is nothing to hide, publicize it fiercely!
After all, these two teams have hot topics and fans. If they don’t promote this event, how can they promote the group stage?
Even Lin Yao came to the scene today.
certainly.
Not only watching the game and paying attention to these two teams, but also the determined "Usage"
The sales advertisement for "Call of Life" will be aired today.
So she came here specially to take a look.
"Is this event going to have a bigger audience than the semi-final in the other half?"
Backstage.
Lin Yao stood next to Nie Hui and asked curiously.
As for the popularity of individual events, she definitely doesn't know the specific situation.
Although Linmu Studio headquarters intervened in this year’s E-Sports Festival, the organizer of the event is still Linmu E-Sports.
"certainly."
Nie Hui smiled and replied: "Thanks to the explosive opening ceremony, all the events in the entire E-Sports Festival this year will be much more popular than last year, much higher! It has reached a new level!
As for this game, let’s put it this way, in terms of a single round in China, there is basically no semi-final that is more popular than this! Compared with the finals of the "Breakout" event, it is probably a good match.
After all, if you think about it, a group of players who are paying attention to the event for the first time went to the forum. They can be seen in any discussion thread related to the event. During the draw of the top eight, some people even discussed the semi-finals early.
It’s the finals, and both teams are from China, so it’s hard not to pay attention.”
certainly.
There are also regrets...
That is...it would be better if both teams appeared on the final stage.
However, both teams were pretty unlucky during the draw.
A half area was drawn directly.
Then there's no way.
"..."
Lin Yao looked at the situation at the scene through the screen in front of her.
The auditorium was full of spectators.
She smiled softly: "That's good, it seems we have chosen a good time... Let's add some more excitement to this game."
"......Um."
Nie Hui looked back at Lin Yao next to him and nodded vigorously.
...
on site.
As the time approaches.
Players are becoming more and more restless.
The team hasn't even appeared yet.
I started cheering the names of these two teams.
While shouting feiren, at the same time shouting no.1.
The supporters of the two teams are clearly distinct and have a tacit understanding. One side is shouting while the other is shouting.
And in the live broadcast room.
There are only the last few minutes left in the countdown before the game.
Many people have begun to adjust their sitting postures, sit down comfortably, and prepare for the competition.
time flies.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Finally.
The countdown has reached zero.
The live broadcast screen opens.
And at the same time.
on site.
The big screen for watching the game also lit up.
The warm-up short video starts playing.
It once again detonated the atmosphere at the scene.
auditorium.
Hank watched the warm-up video and stood up directly with his brother.
They were originally supporting Ninjas in PJ Masks.
But it's a pity.
This year they fell in the quarterfinals again...
So the two of them could only settle for the next best thing.
Since you can't support your favorite team, then come and support the team that sent them away...
Um.
That is feiren.
Facts say.
He quite likes this team.
After all, the first "Breakout" Challenge was the Ninja Team in Pajamas they sent away...
Hank is very impressed with this team.
certainly.
There is another reason, that is, they also know that this game is very popular in the country.
Linmu Studio attaches great importance to this competition.
They look forward to seeing news about new games here.
"David, do you think it will show up again?"
Hank finished cheering, sat down again, and then suddenly turned to look at his brother.
"What?"
David was a little curious.
"The logo, the logo of the Linmu Esports Festival, is that...
"
Hank made a danceful gesture, but he wasn't finished yet.
David patted him hard on the shoulder.
Hank was a little angry.
But I looked up.
Just shut up.
Because watching the game is on the big screen.
The reorganized logo appears again.
And this logo, a new game was announced at the opening ceremony, a special version of the E-Sports Festival color matching SIP was announced a few days ago; the E-Sports Festival e-album is officially launched.]
Then.
When players cheer.
The record stopped in the center of the screen, paused for a few seconds, shrunk and moved to the side.
Immediately afterwards.
The game box of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" appeared in the center of the screen.
The cover is also familiar to players.
It's the game's meet-and-greet that starts with the title of the real man who doesn't look back at the exploding soldier.
After the game box appeared, the record was moved there.
["Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" E-Sports Festival Commemorative Edition is now online and will be officially released on December 20th! 】
A line of words slowly emerged.
Then there are detailed instructions for the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" E-Sports Festival Commemorative Edition giveaway later.
and an introduction to two other regular versions.
This time the logo appears.
What was released was a pure advertisement.
Electronic album, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" E-Sports Festival Commemorative Edition.
There isn't even a short film.
The record was cut with scenes from e-sports festivals and carnivals.
As for the game, there is only a game cover.
But this is what players do...
Why?
Because they were at the E-Sports Festival...
They were already deeply impressed by the opening ceremony and the music.
Not to mention that the carnival was highly anticipated at the time, and as soon as the closing ceremony was over, someone suggested that Linmu Studio release a record.
This emotional card is played by what everyone expects.
The record came out great!
As for the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" E-Sports Festival Commemorative Edition...
That’s very fitting!
Players' minds are already in the shape of the event! Now they are looking forward to the combination of new games and events...
Even those players who were determined to buy the regular version were tempted by this.
"I want!"
Hank saw the icon of the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" E-Sports Festival Commemorative Edition, cheered for a while with the players, then turned around and shouted to his brother.
"I want, too......"
David looked at the big screen and quickly reached an agreement with his brother.
And this time.
After a short commercial.
The box logo appears again.
then.
The pre-recorded semi-finals of the two teams began to play.
Members of the two teams competed against each other.
The scene exploded again.
“ohhhhhhhhh!!!!”
...
Backstage.
Lin Yao immediately felt relieved when she saw the players' reactions.
She returned to the lounge and happened to bump into Mu Wanqing who was about to go out to look for her.
"Ms. Mu, is the "Call of Duty" store page online?"
"After the event started, it was online simultaneously with the event, didn't you know?"
Mu Wanqing gently closed the door, then smiled gently.
"How many sales will this have?" Lin Yao shook her head and changed the question.
"ah?"
Mu Wanqing was startled for a moment, then replied: "It's just online now..."
"I think there should be a surprise, just ask."
Lin Yao smiled softly, then walked around behind Mu Wanqing, pressed her shoulders and asked her to sit down: "Quickly."
"All right."
Mu Wanqing thought for a while, made a phone call, and then talked to the other person
a while.
soon.
She hung up the phone and looked weird.
"How is it?" Lin Yao sat down next to her and asked expectantly.
"..."
Mu Wanqing stretched out a slender white finger.
"One hundred thousand?" Lin Yao tilted her head.
"one million......"
Mu Wanqing took a deep breath, and then replied: "In less than ten minutes, the pre-sale sales exceeded one million."
...
Time moves forward a little.
North America.
"I'm very confident in the latest "Patrol Force", there is no doubt about it! "Call of Duty" is indeed an excellent game, but I don't think "Patrol Force" will be inferior to it. Our game
It can also bring players a unique gaming experience.”
"Including me, all the staff are very confident in this game. This is an excellent game that I can't help but want to put on my bookshelf. It will definitely not lose to any FPS of the same type on the market."
Frank faced the game media and talked eloquently.
enraptured.
High spirits.
The reporter opposite had a strange expression on his face, a little suspicious that the other person was bragging, but he still carefully recorded what Frank said.
"OK."
"Thank you for your time."
"We will release the report as soon as possible and you can see it on social media when the time comes."
The reporter recorded Frank's last words.
Then he expressed his thanks and motioned to the photographer to put down the camera.
See this scene.
Frank breathed a sigh of relief, his high spirits disappeared, and he said with a calm expression: "Sorry to trouble you."
Then.
He asked his secretary to see the guests off.
The reason why he accepted the interview was to build momentum for "Mobile Force".
As March Connor expected, even if he plays battle royale, he will release the promotional video of his own game before Linmu Studio’s new game meeting.
The effect is also very average.
Linmu Studio took the lead, and "Call of Duty" was like a traffic black hole, sucking away all the heat.
No one cares about what he did or the new game "Mobile Force" launched by Gibber Company this year.
But Frank really doesn’t feel that his game is inferior to Call of Duty.
Last year it was because of a misjudgment.
Lin Mu Studio's "Battlefield" was thrown into a ditch to make a World War II theme, and let the modern warfare-themed "Call of Duty" kill everyone.
But this year Gibber's game is the same modern theme!
And modern warfare themes are still Gibber's specialty!
In addition...it will be really difficult to explain to shareholders after another failure this year.
So after he went through the initial panic and shock.
He calmed down and planned to try the player's tone.
"Don't you look forward to the modern war-themed FPS produced by our company Gibber?"
This is exactly what Frank wants to ask the players.
He stood where he was.
After thinking for a while, I felt that there was nothing to pay special attention to, so I returned to my seat.
The next step is to wait for the report to come out.
Frank pinched his knuckles, thinking of this, turned his head and looked at the date.
I remembered there was a competition at the E-Sports Festival today.
He reluctantly turned on the live broadcast.
Then it was just right.
I saw the live broadcast countdown reaching zero.
At the same time, he saw the box 'logo' that made him horrified.
["Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" E-Sports Festival Commemorative Edition is now online and will be officially released on December 20th! 】
This line of words emerged.
Frank opened his mouth: "..."
How else can I play?
But he didn't have time to express his feelings.
The vcr of the event starts playing.
Immediately afterwards.
Not for a while.
The door was violently knocked open.
"Jesus! Boss! "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2"! Ten minutes of pre-sale! It directly topped the sales rankings!!!"
Frank: "..."
He trembled all over and looked sharply at where the reporter was sitting just now.
...
domestic.
That night.
After the game.
Some players discuss today's event.
Another group of players began to discuss "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" which has topped the sales list in a short period of time.
At first, everyone was quite friendly and everyone was saying that Lin Mu Studio was awesome.
But soon.
A post appeared, breaking this situation.
It was a tweet retweeted by an overseas student, and the content was an interview with Frank by a well-known gaming media.
This international student is a little pioneer.
Not only did it translate Frank's original words, but it also specially reproduced the promotional video for this year's new "Mobile Unit".
And left a sentence - "Another year of fighting between dragons and tigers!
I think "Mobile Unit" has a great chance this year!"
And the player finished reading this post.
Most of them are waiting to see Gibb's jokes.
But it is true that many people feel that there will be another fight between dragons and tigers at the end of the year.
"One thing to say, I don't think Gilbert's new game is comparable to "Call of Duty". "Call of Duty" topped the sales list in ten minutes. Can Gilbert do this?"
"Indeed, but they seem to be very confident in their game, so just stay on the sidelines."
""Mobile Force" started out by doing modern warfare, right? Last year, the theme was just different. "Mobile Force" was about World War II, so it was picked up by Linmu Studio. This year is different. They have experience and may really be able to take advantage of it.
Get a piece of meat."
"So confident..."
Players below the post do not have a unified opinion at the moment.
but.
This post didn’t take long to ferment…
soon.
the same person.
Just posted another post.
[Gibber Company announced that due to technical reasons, the release of "Mobile Unit 7: Steel Nightmare" will be delayed on Christmas. The specific release time is to be determined...]
below this post.
The international student didn't say any more unnecessary words.
I sent a series of "..."
Players who had just been passionately debating whether Gibber Company would compete with Linmu Studio for 300 rounds this year were confused when they saw this post.
They looked at Frank's words, "Including me, all the staff are very confident in this game. This is an excellent game that I can't help but want to put on my bookshelf. It will definitely not be inferior to any other game on the market."
Any fps of the same type."
Then I looked at the postponement announcement.
After a while.
Finally someone replied...
"I would like to call it, say the cruelest words and run the fastest way!"
"God is so fucking confident...and then he runs away with a bucket overnight, right?????"
