Chapter 402: Spring Season Semi-Finals Vs. RW Xia!
On the other hand, Ponytail, who was paying close attention to what was happening, first observed the direction of the bullet comments in Chen Yiqiu's live broadcast room. After all, this boycott activity was initiated by Chen Yiqiu, which was the root cause. If Chen Yiqiu and his fans were not satisfied, then all remedial measures would not have much effect.
Seeing that the direction of the bullet comments had changed, Ponytail breathed a sigh of relief.
At least now things are moving in a good direction and have not deteriorated further.
"What's the situation now?" Ponytail asked.
"Now the public opinion on the Internet is reversing. At present, most people are more satisfied with the adjusted activities, and the sales of champion skins are increasing rapidly."
"We have returned all the more than 30,000 sets that have been sold before, and now we are counting from zero..."
The champion skin activity is still going on, and SKT is killing people indiscriminately.
And the most outrageous thing is that although everyone knows that SKT is playing a black game and will use a lineup composed of champion skins, in the high-level Korean server, no one bans these five heroes, and they are very cooperative, fearing that the SKT people will not get the heroes they want.
Guo Hao looked at all this and breathed a sigh of relief. He was really worried that Chen Yiqiu and Fujii would not give in to each other.
Which side should their club be on at that time? They dare not offend both sides.
Fortunately, this did not happen.
When the time came to ten o'clock, Ponytail heard good news:
"It has been an hour since the event rectification was completed. Now the number of online users has exceeded the number of online users on the night of the previous opening game, creating the highest record since the end of S7."
Hearing this, Ponytail was shocked. This is good news!
"Skin sales, now the champion skin Qing Gangying has sold 2.3 million, and the signature model accounts for 63.5%"
Hearing this number, Ponytail was a little bit unbelievable. The basic model is 129 yuan, and the signature model has to add 50. According to this number, the sales of this champion skin alone are nearly 400 million!
Moreover, this is only the current sales, and it will definitely continue to grow in the future!
"The current sales of Snake's champion skin is 1.1 million, and the signature version accounts for 42.5%"
"The sales of the male gun champion skin is 210,000, and the signature version accounts for 36.6%"
Ponytail realized that Chen Yiqiu's idea was right!
If the rules of the event were not rectified, there would not be so many sales.
Thinking only about making money, it is not making money.
Ponytail ordered:
"Deduct the bonus of the planning team of this event, let them hold a meeting to review why these so-called professionals are not as good as a player, and submit a report to me after the review."
"Okay."
On the other side, the champion skin event is still going on, and the time has come to the middle of the night.
The five SKT players are having a lot of fun, and Chen Yiqiu sees that it is almost twelve o'clock.
"It's almost time to rest, everyone." Chen Yiqiu said.
Li Zaiwan seemed reluctant to leave: "No, we finally get to play together, let's play a few more rounds."
Little Peanut said: "Forget it, we still have to prepare for the playoffs tomorrow. It's easier for you to be eliminated in the first round of the playoffs. We still have to think about how to win the championship."
Now Li Zaiwan was angry: "Wangfu! You are getting bolder and bolder now! Don't come back. If I know you are coming back for the holidays, I will make you look bad."
Little Peanut was fearless: "Hehe, I won't tell you when I will go back. Come and catch me, come and beat me, what do you think?"
Chen Yiqiu recommended many of Stephen Chow's movies to Little Peanut. Little Peanut has learned a lot of weird tricks and his performance is quite good.
Li Xianghe suddenly said: "Li Zaiwan, I will help you keep an eye on him. If he wants to go back, I will tell you the first time."
Li Zaiwan laughed: "Hahaha, Wangfu, do you think you can escape from my palm? Wait, see how I deal with you!"
Xiaohuasheng was scared: "Ah? Brother Xianghe, you can't treat me like this, too partial, I am your teammate now, he can only be regarded as an old teammate."
Everyone chattered for a long time, and finally chose to go off the air to rest.
The audience in Chen Yiqiu's live broadcast room was also very reluctant, and they gave him gifts crazily, asking him to broadcast for a while longer.
But Chen Yiqiu finally went off the air.
For the next three days, Zhao Enjing and Jin Minwo played here, went out to play during the day, and had dinner and shopping with Chen Yiqiu and Li Xianghe at night. They lived a fulfilling life.
Three days later, Chen Yiqiu and Li Xianghe sent the two to the airport. The two were going back to host LCK.
Just after sending the two away at the airport, Chen Yiqiu found that Li Xianghe was in a state of depression on the way back.
"It's not like we won't see each other again in the future. You should call each other often, right? Why is it so serious?" Chen Yiqiu teased.
Li Xianghe quickly denied: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Chen Yiqiu laughed and said: "You don't usually call each other, so I can only say... awesome!"
In the next ten days, Top Esports entered the playoffs mode and studied other teams' playing styles like crazy, especially IG.
The biggest difference between the playoffs and the regular season is targeting! In the regular season, generally speaking, no one team is targeted for a long time, and the energy is focused on adapting to the version and improving oneself.
However, the playoffs are different, and a lot of energy must be put into studying the opponent.
IG's performance is quite good, passing all the way. Although it is confusing at times, BO5 has a fault tolerance rate. After losing one game or even two games, there is still a chance to turn defeat into victory.
Soon, Tao Bo’s opponent in the semi-finals appeared, RW!
At the game site, the game hadn’t even started yet, and the venue was already packed with people.
Everyone in Taobao passed by the entrance of the venue in a bus.
Chen Yiqiu looked out the window. Hundreds of spectators were waiting to enter. Some of them were holding various support cards. Taobo's support cards accounted for 90%!
Among them, Chen Yiqiu's estimate is about half.
"Tao Bo! It's Tao Bo!"
"Chen Sheng! Chen Sheng!"
"Come on Taobo!"
Many fans noticed this bus. There is a Taobao team logo on the outside of the bus, which is highly recognizable.
"There are so many people." Little Peanut praised.
In LCK games, the number of spectators is indeed not comparable to that of LPL. After all, the number of players in LPL is here.
Hongmi greeted: "Perform well in today's game. The RW team is quite good, and it is different from the strong teams we have encountered before, such as RNG and IG. Their main focus is the team, and we have to adapt to this. This style of play should not be taken lightly.”
The bus entered the parking lot. After it stopped, the door opened and everyone in Taobo got off the bus with their belongings.
At this moment, Chen Yiqiu heard another burst of cheers coming from the direction of the venue entrance: "RW! RW!"
Immediately afterwards, a bus with the RW team logo appeared. The RW club bus was driving over quickly. After approaching, it slowed down and stopped behind the bus of everyone.
"It's a coincidence that they're here too." Little Peanut muttered.
The car door opened, and everyone in RW wearing team uniforms got out of the car.
The leader is none other than Doinb!
Doinb noticed everyone in Taobo as soon as he got out of the car, and walked over with a playful smile: "Chen Sheng! Hello Chen Sheng."
"Hello." Chen Yiqiu responded.
"Faker! My idol is the No. 1 mid laner in the world, the four-time champion Faker!" Doinb was very familiar with the situation and was very enthusiastic, even shaking hands with Lee Sang Hyuk.
Of course Lee Sang Hyuk would not refuse.
However, when Chen Yiqiu heard Doinb's praise, he always felt like a strange person and couldn't be happy at all. Lee Sang Hyuk seemed to be the same way.
Normally, Lee Sang Hyuk would give a smile when someone praises him for being polite, but when it comes to Doinb, he is more indifferent.
Taking advantage of the handshake, Doinb continued: "The masters of today's game are merciful. I really can't beat you. You are too fierce."
Hearing this, everyone in Taobo looked at each other. Generally speaking, it is very important to be in front of the two armies. Even if you really think you can't beat them, you can't say it. Even speaking harshly can be regarded as boosting morale.
Of course, Doinb said he couldn't beat him, as if he was begging for mercy, but he didn't show any signs of cowardice. He obviously didn't think so in his heart.
Coach RW also came over to say hello to Hongmi, and the two of them walked inside together.
Doinb started to activate his skill: Talkative.
From the moment they met, they continued talking until the two groups parted ways.
Mainly because everyone in Taobo is not familiar with Doinb, it’s quite embarrassing. If you say respond, you don’t know what to say. If you say don’t respond at all, it’s not very good.
After entering the lounge, Little Peanut complained: "Is he so capable of talking? He never stopped talking."
Chen Yiqiu joked: "Doinb is like this. If you don't let him talk, he will feel like there are ants crawling on him."
Little Peanut exclaimed: "So serious? Isn't that the same as drug addiction?"
"Drug addiction? Doinb? Hahahaha..." Little Peanut seemed to have thought of something funny.
Chen Yiqiu put down his things, sat on the sofa to rest, took out his cell phone and took a look.
As expected, Jin Min and I sent a cheering message: "Come on Oppa, I happen to be hosting the game today, so let's cheer together."
Then there are two photos, one is a selfie and the other is a photo with Zhao Enjing.
Chen Yiqiu replied with a message: "Come on!"
Then enter the anti-stress bar to see what the friends are going to do today.
The number of replies to the daily scoring posts is still very high, with tens of thousands of replies, mainly to compare the strength of the players on both sides.
The ratings and comments about Taobo are similar to before. They all think that the mid and top jungle have greater advantages, but there is a gap in the bottom lane.
The slightly different thing is that there are polarizations in the evaluation of Chen Wei and Liu Qingsong in the bottom lane.
Some people think that these two have made great progress compared to the beginning of the season, so they think that in this semi-final, Taobo may be able to perform in the bottom lane and change the audience's view of them.
Others feel that playoff experience is very important. Both of them are inexperienced and there is a high probability that they will fall behind. It may even be worse than the regular season. After all, the playoffs play differently.
The opponent is likely to have developed various playing methods for the bottom lane, and Taobo may lose the game because of the bottom lane.
Both of these statements are reasonable, and the specific situation will only be known after the fight is completed.
In the live commentary booth, Wawa and Miller were preparing. In addition to them, there was also a guest, Wuhu Da Sima!
Da Sima was wearing a tight-fitting shirt. It was obvious that this shirt was bought temporarily and he didn't try it on when he bought it. It was very tight and felt like it was constricting his whole body.
Although the live broadcast has not started yet, Da Sima is already a little nervous, his face is red and his forehead is sweating.
Wawa suddenly asked: "What do you think of today's game?"
Miller analyzed: "I think that Top Esports is stronger overall. Their three mid, top and jungle players are too scary. Only IG's mid, top and jungle players in LPL can resist them a little bit."
Wawa has a different idea: "I think that RW's style of letting the top lane go and focusing on the bottom half is more counter to Top Esports to some extent. Maybe they can really overturn Top Esports."
"Mr. Ma, who do you think will win?" Wawa and Miller looked over together.
Da Sima originally wanted to muddle through and not express his opinion. As long as he doesn't do it, he won't make mistakes.
But now that someone has asked by name, he can't hide.
"I think Top Esports is really strong. They have mid, top and jungle players, right? But they may not win. After all, their bottom lane is easy to be targeted. They all have a chance. Things on the field are uncertain." Da Sima responded.
Wawa was stunned when Miller heard this. Isn't this just the opinions of the two of them combined? Why are they summarizing it?
It seems that he said something, but it seems that he said nothing. He is a master at pretending to be confused!
At this moment, the director reminded the three to get ready: "The game is about to start, please get ready."
The three sat up straight and looked at the camera.
The live broadcast began!
Wawa explained: "The semi-finals of the 2018 League of Legends Professional League, the spring season, are about to take place. Top Esports will play against Rogue Warriors RW again! I am the commentator Wawa."
Miller replied: "I am the commentator Miller. Today we have invited Wuhu Da Sima, Mr. Ma as a guest, to comment on this BO5 with us."
The camera was given to Wuhu Da Sima, and Da Sima said: "Hello everyone, I am Wuhu Da Sima."
In the official live broadcast room, the barrage exploded instantly:
[Fuck? Why is Lao Ma here? Is this today's mysterious guest? ]
[The base exploded, no big problem! ]
[Hey, it's just naughty. 】
【You guys are such a bunch of small bosses, you are so naughty. 】
The barrage was filled with Da Sima's quotes, and it was extremely joyful for a while.
Then, the host invited the players from both sides to come on stage: "Now, let's invite the starting five of the Topbo team to come on stage!"
The passion of the audience was ignited in an instant:
"Topbo! Topbo! Topbo!"
"Chen Sheng, the first LPL S championship depends on you!"
"Big Devil, I am your fan!"
"Gala, stop sending! Do something!"
"Crisp, don't think you can cheat people just because you are handsome, get the best out of me!"
Not everyone was cheering, there were also people who put pressure on Gala and Liu Qingsong.
The five Topbo players stood on the stage, lined up in a row, and were full of momentum!
The director zoomed in and scanned them one by one, Chen Yiqiu, Li Xianghe, Xiaohuasheng...
It felt pretty good, but suddenly, an honest man appeared in the camera, Chen Wei.
That kind of solemn and murderous feeling disappeared immediately. There was nothing I could do. Chen Wei looked too honest. No one would think he was cruel or violent. (End of this chapter)
