Chapter 344 You are a true righteous man!
City individual competition?
E-sports competition?
He stared at the screen of his mobile phone, and when these two words popped up in his mind, he was slightly stunned.
To be honest, Ke Zhiyuan's business acumen and marketing methods are absolutely amazing.
Lu Ming himself had already experienced this.
Otherwise, their lemon candy store wouldn’t be able to be opened nationwide, and they even have stores overseas.
After thinking for a few seconds,
Lu Ming suddenly felt that this could be done!
Holding a competition at this time is a good thing and an opportunity!
The popularity of "Da Ming Imperial Decree" is increasing, with a steady increase in new users every day.
The retention rate is also quite high, and the PVP mode has stimulated the enthusiasm of many RTS players with poor hand-eye coordination to return.
Most importantly, the bugs in this game haven’t been fully resolved yet.
BUG.
Contest.
Live audience.
Live broadcast.
That’s great!
During the game, if a player encounters a BUG and crashes on the spot, the impact will definitely spread exponentially!
If a master player is operating like a god during the game, but suddenly encounters a BUG,
Being blocked in skills, resources, or having the military AI inexplicably start to punish you...
How could the influence not explode? !
Moreover, the players who participate in the competition must be expert players.
Then they must be very sensitive to BUGs and care a lot about them.
By then...
Live broadcast + hot search + unclear explanation from the referee + live broadcast barrage.
That is the best time for the real scolding to burst out!
It’s absolutely... a complete blast!
Maybe, the moral debt system can be eaten up directly!
Thinking of this, Lu Ming sat up straight.
Lin Zhi added on the phone:
"Mr. Lu, they didn't do it casually. The plan is clearly laid out. I sent you a PDF with all the details clearly written."
"They're also willing to cover licensing fees and other expenses. The total prize money budget for the tournament is three million, and they want to complete the event within a month."
“That’s great!”
Lu Ming couldn't help but nodded!
One month, isn’t that just right!
Ke Zhiyuan’s integration ability is pretty good!
The timing is perfect!
Although the scale of this event is not large, it has organized so many people to participate in such a short time.
This person's management ability is absolutely top-notch.
even,
Lu Ming suspected that Ke Zhiyuan must have planned to take advantage of the popularity of "The Great Ming Edict" a long time ago!
Who knows, they might have already chosen the contestants, and prepared the logo, trophy and everything else!
but……
Just rub it.
In this game, if there is a BUG on the field,
That’s not something you can resolve by sending her milk tea!
Mr. Ke,
You are a true righteous man!
"Can."
"Promise him!"
Lu Ming nodded decisively.
“Tell them there’s no problem with authorization.”
"Just don't hold us responsible if there are any problems later."
"Um?"
"I mean, if they want to do it, we can do it. We won't officially host it. We'll just provide technical support and authorization."
"understand."
Hang up the phone.
Lu Ming sat on the chair with a slight smile on his face.
Mr. Ke!
Last time, you tricked me.
This time, I'm gonna trick you.
We're even now, right?
Moreover, Lu Ming couldn't guarantee that the bug would appear in the game.
But at least the entry of professional players,
It will definitely increase the chances of bugs being discovered and expanded!
…
On the same day, Lu Ming also communicated with Ke Zhiyuan again.
The call was answered quickly:
"Oh my, Mr. Lu, you called me personally? I just told our planning department that this game is incredibly popular, and we'll be left behind if we don't jump on the bandwagon!"
"I've already asked Lin Zhi to handle the authorization."
"There's no problem with Beiming."
Lu Mingdao,
"However," Lu Ming added with a smile,
"You guys have to take care of the promotion and implementation of the event yourself. Whale Leap will only provide basic support and authorization."
"No problem! Just give us the authorization, and we'll organize the competition. We're already prepared!
My idea is to hold 30 qualifying matches within two weeks.
At the same time, we will also broadcast live video, and we can also add some prize draws, barrage guessing games and so on!
The finals will be held in our city of Pengcheng, and I have already arranged the venue!"
"Okay, that's it."
"The specific events are up to you!"
…
the next day.
Lemon candy is like a shot of chicken blood.
Less than eight hours after the authorization was granted, their official account released event information simultaneously across all platforms:
【Lemon Sugar LTD eSports Plan】
The first "Ming Dynasty Decree: Chaos of the Universe" individual challenge competition has officially begun!
[Synchronous competitions across the country, offline store support, everyone can participate! ]
[1v1 standard PVP competition system, the winner advances and goes straight to the top of the championship! ]
[Special PVP champion trophy, officially authorized limited avatar frame + gift pack]
[Operation is king, strategy wins - the stage for RTS players has arrived!]
Eye-catching fonts, explosive PV, and the grand and exciting game soundtrack BGM,
It was like a prelude to a battle exploding on the Internet!
The comment section exploded instantly.
"No way! This game has only been online for a few days and they're already holding competitions?"
"You don't understand, this is called striking while the iron is hot!"
"Does anyone know where to sign up? I'm jumping in!"
"RTS is finally making it to esports... I'm about to cry!"
Soon, the registration channel integrated by Lemon Tang was also posted at the top of major live streaming platforms:
[Registration channel and instructions for the individual challenge]
[Competition Rules: Using the standard PVP battle format from "The Imperial Decree of the Ming Dynasty," individual 1v1 ranked matches are conducted using a points elimination system. The winner of each round advances, while the loser is placed in a resurrection group. Maps are random...]
There are a few lines of small print below:
[No faction restrictions, allowing players to freely choose their starting civilization]
[The competition process will be broadcast live simultaneously...]
[Hacks, scripts, and third-party assistance are strictly prohibited. Any discovery will result in immediate disqualification...]
Lu Ming glanced at it.
This competition system is very orthodox RTS:
There is no team formation, no messy entertainment mechanism,
You are alone, facing one person.
A set of operations, a map, a game of life and death.
Very pure.
Very hardcore too.
And when Lu Ming saw this promotional page,
You know, he guessed right.
Mr. Ke must have been preparing for this event a long time ago!
Otherwise, how can we explain that the speed of preparing for the competition is faster than the speed of developing the game?
No wonder, Ke Zhiyuan has always been better than anyone else at catching hot spots.
But what surprised Lu Ming the most was that when he clicked on the registration page, he found that there were already a lot of names registered.
What about Fitter, Shadow Snake, Factory Thirteen, Eight Pots of Soup, and Horse Herder in the Wind...
How can this be an ordinary player?
Many of them are well-known old IDs.
It seems that they came prepared!
Take the Wrangler in the Wind for example, Lu Ming had actually seen this ID somewhere else!
He was obviously one of the top three Yuri players in China back then!
Lu Ming suddenly became alert.
"This Ke Zhiyuan is really willing to invest."
On the forum, similar discussions were instantly ignited:
"What's going on? The individual challenge competition has been held? Bei Ming is taking off!"
"Who understands this?! I just figured out how to play PVE, and now I have to go to the battlefield?"
"Look at my name! I've already signed up! Good luck!"
"I looked at the registration page. Those people are not simple! Many of them are former professional players who changed their IDs to sneak in, right?"
"Honestly, this mode is truly pure. Operation + strategy, it's a test of your full strength!"
"Is there an audience? My girlfriend wants to come and watch."
"I'm on the registration page! I've filled out all the information, just waiting for the schedule!"
"If this match could be broadcast live, the footage would be absolutely amazing!"
"Is Jingyue also going to enter the esports market? Is RTS going to have a new spring???"
"Is this competition an official event? Has Whale Leap authorized it?"
"It should be authorized. Jingyue himself definitely can't be both a referee and a contestant!"
"But Ningtang has put a lot of effort into this. A friend of a friend of mine works at Ningtang and said that CEO Ke personally approved the budget this time, and they've prepared millions of dollars worth of resources just for the livestream. Is this the spring of RTS?"
Especially in the RTS enthusiast circle, a long-lost "commotion" appeared.
"Brothers, stop talking nonsense and sign up! I'm ready to train my troops!"
"That's right, let's start internet cafe training!"
"I haven't seen the internet cafe near my home so busy in a long time!"
"Yeah, I thought no one played RTS anymore, but so many people signed up?"
"There aren't many RTS games that can be played in offline competitions. I really want to give it a try this time!"
On the LED screens in front of every lemon candy store across the country,
The promotional PV is being played in a synchronized loop.
Soldiers drill, steam chariots roar, Whale Abyss aliens roar, Lingxu believers form a formation...
The game has begun.
The flames of war have spread.
