Chapter 553: The most brutal words...
The e-sports festival is in full swing, and as time goes by, the heat is getting higher and higher.
In fact, the e-sports festival in previous years was not low.
The system of tournaments and leagues.
Maintains the exposure of the event.
The e-sports festival officially held by Linmu Studio is equivalent to a year-end exam.
Those players who usually watch the league or bidding competitions will definitely come to watch the year-end exam.
As for those players who don’t watch the league, or occasionally watch one or two league games, as long as they play related games, they will generally be interested in this kind of confrontation between top teams at home and abroad.
At the very least, they will keep paying attention.
After all, there is only one e-sports festival a year, and only the super-large event of the e-sports festival can attract so many top teams and players.
Other events will more or less 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 many people who didn't pay attention to the event.
These people may choose to open the live broadcast because of the new games revealed at the opening ceremony, and then they happen to play one or two of them. Then I also watched the competition...
It can be said that the popularity of the e-sports festival has exploded again.
In addition, the competition cannot be completed in one day.
The group stage, elimination stage, semi-finals and finals of multiple events add up to a long time.
And as more teams are eliminated, the topic will become more popular in the second half of the schedule.
This is an advantage that events like the Global Game Awards do not have. No matter how well such events are run, the topicality is limited.
After a short burst, the popularity will drop rapidly.
What's more, it also collides with the e-sports festival...
The e-sports festival is different. Although the topicality is also limited, the time limit is indeed much longer.
If there were one or two fateful duels that year... The popularity would be even higher.
For example... the twin stars of the domestic "Breakout" project, FEIREN and NO.1.
They have been in love and hatred since the first finals.
The two teams have replaced players and their results have fluctuated.
But as long as it is their game, it can basically be said to be the focus of everyone's attention.
Just like the pig-dog fight in Lin Yao's previous life, it's just that this is not a clash of the souls of the two teams, and the subsequent topic is not a collision. The players just simply like and are impressed by these two teams.
After all, they are the strongest domestic teams in the first "Breakout" challenge, and they have been side by side until now.
One team is composed of idle people in society, and the other team is composed of college students in a dormitory.
The players of the two teams have a good relationship and often talk to each other.
It is indeed very topical.
And this year.
They broke into the semi-finals together and were assigned to the same half. While
ensuring that there will be a domestic team in the finals.
It also ushered in the fateful battle of "only one team can move forward".
Therefore, long before this game started.
The players started-
"The winner will carry my power forward!"
"Don't forget me! FEIREN/NO.1!"
"You must win the championship, with my share of glory!"
"It's time to decide the winner!"
"The Forbidden City!"
"..."
Real-time comments.
Before the game started.
Players began to swipe the screen frantically.
It just feels so gay...
and as the organizer, of course, they can't turn a blind eye to such a game.
There is nothing to hide, promote it vigorously!
After all, these two teams have topics and fans. If they don't promote this event, will they promote the group stage?
Even Lin Yao came to the scene today.
Of course.
Not only to watch the game and care about these two teams, but mainly because the "Call of Duty" release advertisement will be broadcast today.
So she came here specially to take a look.
"Are there more spectators for this event than the semi-finals in the other half of the region?"
Backstage.
Lin Yao stood next to Nie Hui and asked curiously.
She certainly didn't know the specific situation of the popularity of a single event.
Although the Linmu Studio headquarters intervened in this year's e-sports festival, the organizer of the event is still Linmu E-sports.
"Of course."
Nie Hui smiled and replied: "Thanks to the opening ceremony, all the events of this year's e-sports festival are more popular than last year, much higher! It has reached a new height!
As for this game, let's put it this way, in terms of a single round in China, there is basically no semi-final with higher popularity than this one! Compared with the final of the "Breakout" project, it is estimated that it can compete with each other.
After all, think about it, a group of players who pay attention to the event for the first time go to the forum, and you can see the figures of these two teams in any discussion post related to the event. When the quarterfinals were drawn, some people had already borrowed money to discuss this semi-final. In addition, both teams are domestic, so it is hard not to pay attention to it."
Of course.
There are also some regrets...
That is... It would be better if the two teams appeared on the final stage.
However, when the draw was made, both teams were quite unlucky.
Directly drawn to a half zone.
There is nothing we can do.
"..."
Lin Yao looked at the situation on the scene through the screen in front of her.
The audience seats were full of spectators.
She smiled gently: "That's good, it seems that we chose a good time... Let's add some heat to this game."
"... Yeah."
Nie Hui looked back at Lin Yao next to him and nodded vigorously.
...
Scene.
As time approached.
The players became more and more agitated.
The teams had not yet appeared.
They began to cheer the names of the two teams.
One side shouted feiren, and the other side shouted NO.1.
The supporters of the two teams were clearly divided and had a tacit understanding. They shouted one after another.
In the live broadcast room.
There were only a few minutes left before the countdown before the game.
Many people began to adjust their sitting postures, sat down comfortably, and prepared for the game.
Time passed.
Finally.
The countdown returned to zero.
The live broadcast screen was turned on.
At the same time.
On the scene.
The large viewing screen also lit up.
The warm-up short film began to play.
It once again ignited the atmosphere on the scene.
The audience seats.
Hank watched the pre-show video and stood up with his brother.
They originally supported the Pajama Ninjas.
But unfortunately,
they lost in the quarterfinals again this year...
So the two of them had to settle for the next best thing.
Since they couldn't support their favorite team, they would support the team that sent them away...
Well,
that is, FEIREN.
In fact,
he liked this team very much.
After all, they sent away the Pajama Ninjas in the first "Breakout" challenge...
Hank was impressed by this team.
Of course,
there was another reason, that is, they also knew that this game was very popular in China.
Linmu Studio attached great importance to this game.
They looked forward to seeing news about new games here.
"David, do you think it will appear again?"
Hank cheered, sat down again, and suddenly turned his head to look at his brother.
"What?"
David was a little curious.
"Logo, the Linmu E-sports Festival LOGO, that one..."
Hank gestured with his hands and feet, but before he finished gesturing,
David patted his shoulder hard.
Hank was a little annoyed.
But he looked up.
I shut up immediately.
Because on the big screen for watching the game,
the reorganized IOGO appeared again.
And this logo, the new game was announced at the opening ceremony, the special version of swich with the color matching of the e-sports festival was announced a few days ago, and the trading system of the Vaporwave game platform.
So the players almost didn't have to think. They
started cheering directly.
And that IOGO quietly changed its form.
Then, it froze.
A crack opened.
It was like a box being opened.
[Legends never die]
[Sing it out! (Sing loudly), We will, we will, rock you (We will shock you)]
[……]
The three musics of the opening ceremony of this e-sports festival were cross-cut with the pictures of the scene.
Then the pictures appeared on the same screen.
The symphony medley of the opening ceremony of the Linmu Carnival and several songs of the closing ceremony were added.
All the pictures appeared on the screen together.
The mixed singing and symphony sounded together.
Then all the pictures gradually became smaller and slowly formed a record.
The cover of the record was very simple, it was an oil painting similar to fireworks.
[On December 19, the Linmu Carnival & E-sports Festival electronic album was officially launched.]
Then,
as the players cheered,
the record stopped in the center of the screen, paused for a few seconds, and shrunk to the side.
Then
, the game box of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" appeared in the center of the screen.
The players were also familiar with the cover.
It was the soldier who did not look back at the explosion at the beginning of the game meeting.
After the game box appeared, the record followed.
[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 E-Sports Festival Commemorative Edition is now online and will be officially released on December 20!]
A line of words slowly emerged.
Then there was a detailed description of the gifts of the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 E-Sports Festival Commemorative Edition.
And the introduction of the other two regular versions.
This time the logo appeared.
What was released was a pure advertisement.
The electronic album, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 E-Sports Festival Commemorative Edition.
There is not even a short film.
The record is cut with scenes from the E-Sports Festival and the carnival.
As for the game, there is only a game cover.
But players just like this...
Why?
Because they were at the E-Sports Festival...
They were already impressed by the opening ceremony and the music.
Not to mention that the carnival was also the focus of everyone's attention at the time. As soon as the closing ceremony ended, someone suggested that Linmu Studio release a record.
This emotional card is what everyone wants.
The record is well released!
As for the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 E-Sports Festival Commemorative Edition... it is even more appropriate!
Players' minds are already in the shape of the event!
The new game and the event that are expected now...
Even those players who are determined to buy the regular version are tempted now.
"I want it!"
Hank saw the icon of the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" e-sports festival commemorative edition, cheered with the players for a while, then turned his head and shouted to his brother.
"I want it too..."
David looked at the viewing screen and quickly reached an agreement with his brother.
At this time.
After a short advertisement.
The box logo appeared again.
Then.
The semi-final vcr recorded in advance by the two teams began to play.
The players of the two teams competed against each other.
It set off the scene again.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh!!!!"
...
Backstage.
Lin Yao saw the players' reactions and immediately felt relieved.
She returned to the lounge and just bumped into Mu Wanqing who was about to go out to find her.
"Miss Mu, is the "Call of Duty" store page online?"
"After the event started, it was launched simultaneously with the event. Don't you know?"
Mu Wanqing gently closed the door and smiled gently.
"How much sales will be this time?" Lin Yao shook her head and changed the question.
"Ah?"
Mu Wanqing was slightly startled, then replied: "It's just launched now..."
"I think there should be a surprise, you ask."
Lin Yao smiled gently, then walked around behind Mu Wanqing, pressed her shoulders and asked her to sit down: "Hurry."
"Okay."
Mu Wanqing thought about it, made a call, and then talked to the other party for a while.
Soon.
She hung up the phone with a strange expression.
"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, then replied: "It's not even ten minutes, and the pre-sale sales have exceeded one million."
...
Time moved forward a little.
North America.
"I am very confident about the latest game "Mobile Force", there is no doubt about that! "Call of Duty" is indeed an excellent game, but I don't think "Mobile Force" is much inferior to it. Our game 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 put on the bookshelf. It is definitely not inferior to any similar FPS on the market."
Frank talked to the game media.
He was very excited.
He was in high spirits.
The reporter opposite had a strange look on his face, and he suspected that the other party was bragging, but he still carefully recorded what Frank said.
"Okay."
"Thank you for taking the time."
"We will release the report as soon as possible, and you can see it on social media then."
The reporter recorded Frank's last words.
Then he expressed his gratitude and signaled the photographer to put down the camera.
Seeing this scene.
Frank breathed a sigh of relief, and the high spirits just now disappeared. His expression was calm and said: "Thank you for your trouble."
Then.
He asked his secretary to see him off.
The reason he accepted the interview was to build momentum for "Mobile Force".
As March Connor expected, even if he played a battle royale game and released the trailer of his own game before the new game meeting of Linmu Studio,
the effect was also average.
Linmu Studio took the lead, and "Call of Duty" was like a traffic black hole, sucking away all the heat.
No one cared about what he did, and the new game "Mobile Force" launched by Gibbs this year.
But Frank really didn't think his game lost to "Call of Duty".
Last year was because of a misjudgment.
Linmu Studio's "Battlefield" was led astray, and they went to do some World War II theme, allowing the modern war theme of "Call of Duty" to kill.
But this year, Gibbs' game is the same modern theme!
And the modern war theme is still Gibbs' forte!
In addition... If it fails again this year, it will be really difficult to explain to the shareholders.
So after the initial panic and shock, he
calmed down and planned to test the players' attitude.
"Don't you look forward to the modern war theme FPS made by my Gibbs?"
This is exactly the question Frank wanted to ask the players.
He stood still.
After thinking for a while, he felt that there was nothing to worry about, so he returned to his seat.
Next, he just had to wait for the report to come out.
Frank pinched his finger bones, and when he thought of this, he turned his head and looked at the date. He remembered
that there was a game at the e-sports festival today. He
reluctantly turned on the live broadcast.
Then just in time. He saw the live
broadcast countdown return to zero. At the same time, he saw the box'logo' that made him shudder. ["Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" e-sports festival commemorative edition, now online, officially released on December 20! ] This line of words appeared. Frank opened his mouth: "..." How else can I play? But before he had time to express his thoughts. The VCR of the event began to play. Then. Not long after. The door was violently opened. "Jesus! Boss! "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2"! Pre-sale ten minutes! Directly ranked first in the sales rankings!!!" Frank: "..." He trembled all over and looked at the place where the reporter had just sat. ... In China. That night. After the event. Some players discussed today's event. Another group of players started discussing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, which had topped the sales charts in a short period of time. Originally, everyone was quite friendly and praised Linmu Studio for being awesome. But soon, a post appeared and broke the situation. It was a tweet reposted by an international student, and the content was an interview with Frank by a famous gaming media. This international student was a pioneer in fanning the flames. Not only did he translate Frank's original words, he also specially reposted the trailer of this year's new game "Mobile Force". He also left a sentence - "Another year of fierce competition! I think this year's "Mobile Force" has a great chance!" After reading this post, most players were waiting to see the joke of Gibbs. But there are indeed many people who think that fierce competition will be staged again at the end of the year. "To be honest, I don't think the new game of Gibbs is comparable to Call of Duty. Call of Duty topped the sales charts in just ten minutes. Can Gibbs do that?" "Indeed, but they seem to be very confident in their game. Let's wait and see." "PTU started out as a modern war game, right? Last year, the theme was different. PTU was based on World War II, so it was beaten by Linmu Studio. This year is different. They have experience and may be able to get a piece of meat." "So confident..." Below the post, players did not agree for a while. However, this post did not ferment for long... Soon, the same person posted another post. [Gibs announced that due to technical reasons, the release of PTU 7: Steel Nightmare, which was delayed on Christmas, will be delayed. The specific release date is to be determined...] Below this post, the foreign student did not say anything extra. He just posted a series of '...' and the players who were just passionately debating whether Gibbs would fight Linmu Studio for 300 rounds this year were stunned 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 put on the bookshelf. It is definitely not inferior to any similar FPS on the market." Then they looked at the announcement of the delay. After a while, someone finally responded... "I would like to call it, say the most cruel words and run the fastest way!"
"God is so damn confident... and then he ran away overnight, right????"
"I am dying of laughter..."
The MRI examination was really painful. For the first time, I felt that I had claustrophobia. It was like lying in a white coffin when I went in. The claustrophobia plus the buzzing sound, and the arm was still throbbing after being fixed... Tsk.
Everyone, please take care of your health... I finally understand that the time you squeezed out must be paid back. This chapter has not been checked, so I will post it first and take a closer look tomorrow.
