This Online Game Developer is Definitely Problematic

Chapter 149 Sponsor

February 2.

That night.

The second offline match of the Breakout Challenge was held on time, but there were not as many spectators as the first match. There were two main reasons.

The first reason was that the two overseas teams were competing.

The captains of the overseas teams who drew lots had bad hands.

The two overseas teams were drawn to the lower half to fight a civil war.

One was drawn to the upper half.

Then the domestic team was inevitably going to have a civil war.

Although the domestic audience paid close attention to the Breakout Challenge, the general audience's enthusiasm for the match between the two overseas teams was obviously not as high as the first match.

The second reason was because of the overseas teams... Although the audience was not enthusiastic, there were still some audiences who wanted to go to the scene to see it, but when they went to buy tickets, they found that the remaining seats were very bad, and then they thought about it and thought that without the domestic team, it was okay.

Yes.

Although there were not as many people as the first match, in fact, most of the venue was still full of people, and only some places with bad seats were ignored.

And the match on the 2nd ended with the victory of the Astralis team.

Lin Yao was actually quite surprised when she first saw the name. Isn't this Team A?

But after she learned about the history of this team and the players involved,

she realized that she had thought too much.

This has nothing to do with Team A.

The same is true for NiP.

But they are indeed very strong.

They came to participate in the competition just after the overseas public beta of "Breakout", and they are also growing rapidly during the competition.

I heard that after their team came to China, they even hired a translator specifically to read the posts of domestic players and learn the playing methods of domestic players.

Therefore, this match between the European and American teams is not inferior to the match between domestic teams. It is also very exciting and very popular overseas.

Especially the live broadcast.

So far,

two teams have been confirmed to enter the semi-finals.

One is NO.1, and the other is Astralis.   There will be a day off

on February 3.   Although time is very tight.   But Lin Yao finally decided to reserve some rest time.   Otherwise, the competition will be unfriendly to the teams and not good for the audience.   Of course, the most important thing is that it is not conducive to the fermentation of the competition...   And on this day of rest.   Lin Yao called all the major teams together, and then told them about the sponsorship plan discussed with Zhang Jianghu.   The main thing is the logo on the chest of the team members' uniforms.   Lin Yao and Zhang Jianghu discussed for most of the day, and finally convinced him.   "The general situation is this. If you agree, you will have to put the VTA clothing logo on the chest of the team uniforms in the next game, and then they will speed up the production of the corresponding team uniforms. Next, you need to wear their team uniforms to play, including the next year's games. Wear this uniform to play."   After Lin Yao finished talking about the sponsorship plan, he thought about it and added: "During this competition, you can only have the VTA clothing logo on your team uniforms. However, after this competition, if other sponsors come to you, you can also contact them, but how to discuss it specifically is up to you."   "Um... do we have a share?"   After hearing what Lin Yao said, a member of the CNG team that lost on the first day was silent for a moment, raised his hand and asked in a low voice.   "You are also one of the top eight, of course. But this is also conditional, that is, you must participate in five A-level or above breakout events this year."   Lin Yao also talked about the tournament system that Linmu Studio will launch next, and explained in detail the conditions proposed by the sponsor.   The breakout challenge is so hot now.   It is foreseeable.   There will definitely be many third parties who want to hold the competition next.   Lin Yao doesn't need to say this.   The players present all understand.   As the top eight of the breakout challenge, participating in five A-level events is not a difficult task at present.   It can even be said to be easy.   "Two million..."   As Lin Yao explained.   The team members present gradually understood what Lin Yao meant.   But no one spoke.   After a while.   Luo Fu of the NO.1 team finally said a number, his voice trembling and his hands shaking.   They haven't finished the game yet, and they can collect money. What they need to do is just to put a LOGO on their chest, and then wear customized team uniforms to play five A-level events mentioned by Lin Yao.   They can completely survive on the game this way...   The CNG players were also a little excited.   After losing, they had all planned to disband and go back to their own homes, but Lin Yao's sponsorship plan and tournament system gave them hope again... because they could play for another year.   The college students on the FEIREN team were even more confused.   When they formed a team to participate in the competition, they set a small goal that was like a joke. Not only did they achieve it, but now they can get sponsorship fees even though the prize money for the competition has not been confirmed...   And according to Lin Yao, their team can also find sponsorship on their own after the breakout challenge, as long as they play well.

The three overseas teams were also somewhat surprised, mainly because of the tournament system. Lin Yao also told them that Reflecta would hold a Major-level event at their doorstep.

In short,

the teams discussed with each other.

In the end, they all agreed to Lin Yao's proposal.

Seeing that they agreed, Lin Yao nodded, then smiled at them, and said as usual, "Good luck in the next tournament," and prepared to leave.

This time, she was only responsible for talking to these people, and she didn't need to come to the contract and related details.

But just as she was about to leave.

"Wait, Lin... Mr. Lin, thank you."

The captain of CNG, a very young player, suddenly called Lin Yao.

After calling Mr. Lin a little unnaturally, he bent down and sincerely thanked him.

CNG lost this time, and they were really unwilling.

But the pressure of reality forced them to swallow this unwillingness and prepare to bury it in their hearts.

But Lin Yao's sponsorship plan just now gave them hope.

A hope to smooth out the unwillingness.

He was really grateful.

"This is what you deserve. You don't need to thank me. If you really want to thank me, don't call me a dog planner in the forum in the future..."

Lin Yao turned around and made a joke.

She originally wanted to ease the atmosphere.

But as soon as she said this.

Most of the players of the domestic teams showed embarrassed expressions.

Seeing their faces, Lin Yao immediately knew that they had called me that. Her cheeks puffed up slightly, and she looked at them with disdain, shook her ponytail, and turned away.

"..."

The team members present were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other, their eyes evasive.

Damn, the dog planner is so cute...

No.

Mr. Lin...

"Let's go, Miss Mu."

On the other side.

Lin Yao walked out of the meeting room, then took Mu Wanqing's arm and pulled her away.

"... Almost half of the sponsorship fee went to the teams. Is it worth it?"

Mu Wanqing walked side by side with Lin Yao. After a moment of silence, she showed a distressed expression.

This time, Lin Yao chose a clothing sponsor brand. Not only did she design a special exposure plan and advertising plan for them, but she also added a LOGO at the opening of the event.

The team doesn't need this kind of exposure.

But Lin Yao finally decided to let the team share a share. After talking with the clothing brand, she even took out most of the sponsorship fee and set up the sponsorship system just mentioned.

"It's hard to say whether it's worth it."

Lin Yao turned her head and smiled at the black-haired glasses girl next to her. Then she looked forward again and said softly: "I just want to plant a seed for the formalization of e-sports events. Besides, these are the top eight teams in the first Breakout Challenge. If they can still be active in the arena and in breakout events of various levels in the next year, it will actually be a good thing for our game. In

addition, Miss Mu, don't think this is a lot. In fact, running a team is much more difficult than you think. I guess these teams will find out soon. I just opened a beginning and hope to get them started. As for how far they can go next, it depends on them."

The sponsorship fee that Linmu Studio can get this time is indeed not much.

Especially after it is distributed to the major teams.

Because Lin Yao did not lie at the beginning, just as she told Zhang Jianghu, this was just for the survival of the team and to plant a seed for the formalization of e-sports events.

And it is really hard to say whether this thing is worth it.

Because Lin Yao does not know.

But if, if she wants to organize a league, she must consider these.
