Chapter 523 Water Ghost!

PDD is one of the first esports people to understand the benefits of marketing.

In the early years, the popularity accumulated by playing professional games and the sluts and ghosts who became popular all over the Internet from a young age have reaped the dividends of the times and gained traffic value.

Follow up with a team.

Develop team members…

They all like to show off their faces.

In addition, at that time, the LPL was all a grassroots team, and very few people had anything to do with the profession, so it was easy for PDD to send people to play professionally.

Back and forth.

Many high-scoring passers-by also know that being recommended by PDD will make it easier to get into the industry.

After all, everyone is very ignorant about what the club needs.

Even if a certain position needs reinforcement, you don’t know.

Relying on information in the circle and increasing live broadcast traffic, when PDD founded the YM team, it was considered a traffic team. When most secondary teams need leaders to take the lead in providing support, many fans of YM often go to watch offline.

That was also the time.

PDD gradually figured out how to play...

He knows.

Two players go to trial training at the same time. If one player is somewhat popular and will be praised in the forum, and another player is a pure rookie and has no reputation, then the team will 100% allow the former to stay.

Because most domestic coaches and team management can't tell who has talent and who doesn't. When the scores reach club standards, building momentum becomes very important.

And the most successful one in building momentum.

Definitely RW Killua.

Why not Xiao Ming and Ning?

Very simple.

Because Ming caught Uzi's eye, PDD didn't take action. In the same way, when Ning Gang went to IG, IG was arranged and combined every day. There was not much more than him, and there was no marketing.

But Killua is different.

He has been playing for half a year, and there are posts boasting that his protective support is invincible and optimistic about his future.

By building momentum.

At the beginning of 2018, Rogue Warriors, who was determined to compete in international competitions, believed the evil of public opinion, bought Killua according to the standard of treating Biaowang, and gave him a starting contract.

You know, RW's goals are set very high.

They don’t have a three-year plan...

PDD can help Killua increase his price, and it is also based on Xiao Ming's success, so that some teams really think that Killua is a hidden gem in the ocean, and as long as he realizes his potential, he can become the next S-level support.

Without marketing…

A second-tier league runner-up like Killua is at most SS Butterfly's standard... I'll give him two to three hundred thousand at most, so there's no way he's going to fight for it.

Eat such sweetness.

PDD is enlightened.

These days, others say you have strength only if you have strength.

As a result, he became more and more skilled in the left hand of speculation.

Not only are there blessings from soft articles, but they also give money to OB accounts so that they can rank in the Korean server on the left hand of OB...the concept of being able to output the professional mid laner in the lane every day without losing.

Just like that.

Even before Left Hand entered the LPL, some die-hard fans claimed that he was the next Qingshen. Because the OB account said so, I will not lose against Penicillin today, I will use Ekko to kill Faker alone tomorrow, and I will use Zoe to beat BDD the day after tomorrow...

After all, it’s a highlight reel. It seems like the various mid laners are really used as backgrounds.

certainly…

It is not easy to leave an impression on the audience.

No matter how you market, it must be matched with corresponding actual performance.

For example, the reason for the A monster thunderstorm is not because teammates sharply commented that the mentality is low, it is not autistic, and it is not that the live broadcast is ineffective and the queue is like a mute, but because after playing for so long, the player is facing off in the tower in 5 minutes. Line, even Emperor Ding can't beat it...

Not to mention it's as showy as the ranked highlights.

It's hard to even hold on.

~~~

2pm.

Knight's ID appeared on SN's battle poster.

in the comments section.

PDD campaigned: "Don't be afraid of failure! I believe that the future belongs to young people!"

For a while.

This floor is full of blessings.

Mold haters saw the momentum and immediately joined together.

[A genius who just turned 18! 】

【Golden left hand! 】

[New cards for domestic mid laners! 】

Seeing netizens memorizing labels, PDD is holding his belly and having fun. He stuffed money into people to support him in order to build a good business reputation and make netizens believe that he has an invincible vision, so that the club would be willing to pay a premium to compete for YM players.

Plus netizens like to follow trends.

People believe whatever a big anchor like him says...

~~~

other side.

The left hand still didn’t know that he was facing Qingfen.

Now staying in the lounge, he allowed his thoughts to wander, wondering what his first battle would be like. And because of his unclear speech, he is more sensitive to certain abnormalities.

"There's something on my face..." The captain stared at him for more than 5 seconds.

"What?"

The accent on his left hand was stuck, and he spoke very fast, sounding like a foreign language. I could only vaguely hear the sentence "Thank you, brother."

"without…"

I heard this sentence clearly.

Big Wolf:......

After a while.

Big Wolf said kindly: "Your legs have been shaking... But in this game... you won't lose if you lose, and you will gain blood if you win. I don't feel that there is too much pressure."

In his heart, he believed that he couldn't beat it with his left hand.

It's not that the winning rate in training matches is low, but that he understands Qin Hao and knows how thin Qin Hao's line is. If position control alone could win the lane, Brother Hao would have been abused long ago.

The left hand is forcing a smile.

The hacker suggested: "Just go with him, so I can help you."

"Let me tell you, the more nervous you are, the easier it is for you to perform poorly. Don't be burdened." Snake recognized his left hand and didn't want it to be stressed: "Anyway, scolding is the way to go."

"I c." Big Wolf said in a displeased tone.

After all, Sheshe was right. The last time they lost to Top Esports, the top and jungle players were the most criticized. Langx is the champion top laner and the most popular player in the team. Netizens’ magnifying glasses are basically on the top lane.

“I…”

Zuoshou can feel the kindness of his teammates, but he is not good at expressing it.

Seeing this, Charsiu stood up and said, “I will leave a position for you to pick later in the BP. Just do what Hacker said and fight him—you can’t think of peaceful development when you are on the line with such a player.”

Corner.

Xiaotian saw that Zuoshou had integrated into the team and was accepted by the coaching staff and teammates, and he felt inexplicably resentful.

He came for half a year first.

As a result, he only played 5 small games, and now he has no chance to even play training games... When he thought that Langx usually only liked to play with Hacker, he didn’t know where his future was.

And since Sheshe joined.

SN is more inclined to play rhythm offense.

He thinks that his planning is not worse than Hacker, but Hacker is more willing to sacrifice development to help the line.

Many games.

Hacker leads by hundreds in the early game, but can fall behind by a thousand in the mid-game…

At the same time.

Mark checked Weibo and saw that many netizens were praising Left Hand, which made him feel a little unhappy. In his mind, Haoge is the middle-level player, and it is not something that people like Left Hand who have good rankings can mess with.

“Why does he have so many fans?” Old Ma was very surprised.

A newcomer who has never played in LPL actually has so many posts predicting his performance in the first game, and even saying that he will win if he can hold on.

“Those OB accounts.”

smlz said calmly: “There are four or five OB accounts on Douyu that track his ranking.”

“When Haoge just started playing games, he didn’t have this much popularity.” Old Ma complained: “At that time, the emperors were all waiting to see the joke, and few people supported him.”

Qin Hao:…

Old Thief nodded in approval, while being surprised by Old Ma’s directness. He was thinking: It seems that after winning the MSI championship, Old Ma has become more protective of Qin Hao.

It seems that he was not so filial before…

Old Ma compared the public opinion in the early days of his debut, which made the atmosphere a little solemn.

After a while, GimGoon suddenly said, "(Fans) are looking forward to him?" Then he smiled and stood up to let him go.

Compared with the mutterings of the team members.

Cvmax and Kouma didn't take Left Hand seriously... or rather, they were more interested in Snake joining SN and thinking about what kind of changes Snake would bring to SN.

With such an unknown.

Cvmax and the team members left, and Kouma turned on the electronic screen to observe the status of each lane and the timing of lane changes.

Soon.

The commentary began to warm up.

Various QQ groups were madly complaining about someone...

"What golden left hand? Criticize him!"

"Someone on Hupu is praising him as the next Qingshen, but he is not. Where is his god?"

"It was first spread in PDD's live broadcast room, saying that gaining points is like drinking water."

"I said that ranking points are not important."

Qing fans were talking about it and wanted to investigate such behavior. So, everyone wanted to know "Where is Left Hand so good, why is someone praising him?"

"I'll lock on the middle lane this time."

"Let's go together."

Other group members responded.

And in the backstage of the director's group.

Seeing the peak of the live broadcast rising sharply, it has exceeded the number of online users of yesterday's opening game. The director said happily: "This game is so popular?! It can be compared with the playoffs."

"With Langx, Left Hand and Snake, plus a traffic giant like Top Esports, it will definitely be a hit." Someone chatted: "And SN has strengthened the midfield and support, maybe there is a chance to impact the world championship."

"That's right..."

The director consciously guessed the reason.

"Players will come on stage immediately, and the No. 1 camera will move forward."

Seeing Yu Shuang walk to the middle of the stage, the director shouted to remind him. At the same time, the big screen on the scene just played the best shot of the promotional video.

After a series of visions for the summer season.

The members of the 14 teams stood on the stairs in two rows, looking forward. Immediately afterwards, Qin Hao, wearing the Top Esports uniform, walked out slowly, facing the eyes of the crowd, climbed the stairs, and finally sat on the throne.

This is not the first time that netizens have seen this shot.

But…

The comments are still explosive.

Because in previous summer promotional videos, the protagonist has more shots, but there is no such pretentious design.

[God! ]

[Director is a genius. ]

[Never get tired of watching. ]

[I am destiny! ]

When the comments are flooding the screen.

Yu Shuang shouted hard: "… Welcome TES mid laner - Penicillin~~"

The scene was full of cheers, and Zuo Shou stood on the side of the stage for a full 20 seconds before slowly stopping. At this moment, he was breathing rapidly and was particularly nervous about the atmosphere on the scene.

This is his first battle.

He cares about this BO3 much more than his teammates. After all, for Big Wolf, Hacker, and Snake, this is just a more difficult one among many regular seasons. Even if there is pressure, it is not to the extent that it affects their mentality.

The problem is for Zuo Shou.

He is not used to overcoming the difference in applause. It was not until the referee sister reminded him to debug the equipment that he came out of the blank and thought about adjusting the parameters and the position of the small map.

"Are you used to the Korean server interface? If not, click here."

"Trust me, Knight, chew two pieces of gum so you can concentrate."

"Drink less water later, or you'll be fined." The hacker laughed.

"Listen to the jungler in the front, listen to me in the middle, and then discuss it as a group..." Snake is a little crazy, and the scene becomes more and more passionate: "Anyway, report more useful information and keep an eye on your opponents."

Teammates are talking.

Unconsciously, his left hand began to purse his lips.

Commentary seat.

Wang Duoduo compared the expressions of the mid laners on both sides through the small screen. When he saw his left hand pouting, Qin Hao chuckled from time to time and said with emotion: "This is Knight's first LPL game, and in the first game he will face our second championship. king!

It can be seen that he can't relax now. I don't know if it's because of the light on the screen. He looks a little pale now, and there isn't much blood on his face. "

Rita: "Brother Hao is still as calm as ever and seems not to be affected by the call just now."

"Maybe I'm used to it."

Wang Duoduo smiled and said: "After all, they experienced a more boring scene at the Zenith Stadium only 10 days ago!"

Rita: "...First of all, I don't know what kind of hero Knight will choose. Because facing Brother Hao, the most important thing to consider is the laning."

in front of the screen.

Seeing Rita and Wang Duoduo singing harmony, many viewers looked at each other.

Some people couldn't help but ask: "When did Rita talk so much?" In memory, Rita often quietly acted like a vase. If you partner with her, you will have to talk about being bald, and you will be starved of oxygen if you don't have enough lung capacity.

"Wang Duoduo is very good at leading female commentators. He paired up with that Yibi sister, and the effect was also good."

"He is really the Tai Sui God on earth... awesome."

"This is the first time I met Rita and she took the initiative to start the conversation."

"Am I the only one who thinks Rita is more beautiful when she is quiet?"

"You're a little horny..."

"Shrimp head."

The barrage made me think for a while.

When everyone looked at the screen again, the director had already cut to BP.

in addition.

Since the version has been updated to 8.11.

After Char Pork was chosen on the red side, he did not rush to ban Dao Mei and Yanque, but instead banned Pig Girl, Bomberman and Enchantress.

Because he can play Zoe with his left hand, he does not need to deal with too much in the middle line. He wants to see if facing Penicillin, his left hand can withstand the pressure and produce the same effect as in the training game.

See SNG fully open.

Cvmax has no reason to ban.

"TES chose to target the lower half, banning Digger, Tahm and Braum. Emmm, is this because they don't want Snake to be too comfortable? Or do you want to focus on the bottom lane and the lane?"

Wang Duoduo was puzzled.

But in fact, Cvmax didn’t think so much.

He simply didn’t want to ban the hero version, and he wanted to experiment with the Pike system, so he thought about reducing the support options.

After all, normal people see Lock Pike.

The first thought is definitely to get off.

Without Tahm and Braum, it is equivalent to guiding the opponent to supplement the team support, or to focus on the soft support in the lane. This controls the field of view to achieve the effect he wants.

Sure enough.

Char Siu has no idea who these three hands are targeting. As his favorite general, Snake has a much deeper hero pool than Yoon and is not afraid of not having a hero at all.

He muttered 2 sentences.

TES grabbed ez, and SN took Xin Zhao and Kai'Sa.

"Since Xin Zhao's rework, the winning rate of Master and above has reached 57%!" The new version of Xin Zhao's ultimate move is enough to make him a master of battle.

What the boss fears most when starting a team is that his teammates fail to keep up and are walked by the back row. Now, if the back row doesn't get close, all damage will be blocked by big moves, and if it gets close, it's easy for Xin Zhao to get in the face, which can very well limit the AD that focuses on basic attacks.

Just as Wang Duoduo said this, Pike appeared on the second floor of TES.

"Pike?!"

Rita raised her voice: "When the version was updated, Taobo was still in the semi-finals. Mark probably didn't have much time to practice... Oh, it's locked!"

"This is Taobo! This is Cvmax!" Wang Duoduo used two "this is" in succession to strengthen his tone: "In their dictionary, there is no saying whether to practice or not."

SN voice.

The hacker was a little uneasy: "Oh my god, Pike is here." He had played this hero before and knew that he would die if he took some damage in the later stage, so it was not suitable for competition at all.

Pike and Scorpion are on the second and third floors of TES.

Barbecued Pork: "What should I use on the bottom lane?"

Barbecued Pork: "Faced with this kind of hook hero, you can either avoid Q easily or grab grass to overwhelm them."

Snake chooses the former: "Give me Luo." When playing in a group, give me a charm. If your teammates take a little damage, they can instantly send Ke. The most important thing is that Luo is flexible enough that he won't lose much blood even if he takes Q.

"No problem, OPGG shows that Luo has a high winning rate against Pike."

"...The middle and upper ones on both sides haven't come out yet."

On to the second round.

SN sends Ryze and Captain to the ban position, and TES seals weapons and vampires.

"Zoe, Sword Girl, and Syndra are all outside..."

"What do you mean... Syndra? It's locked!"

"However, Sword Girl has magic resistance boots, so Syndra can only clear the line and wait for the team." Rita analyzed the game.

In the voice, Cvmax said with great interest: "Xiao Hao, if you want to fight in the lane, you can also use Sword Girl, which happens to be on the road to supplement Kennen."

Qin Hao doesn't have any idol baggage, and he doesn't think it's shameful to be suppressed in the lane: "No, I'll just use Pike."

On the left is the female tank and Kenan on the fourth and fifth floors.

Wang Duoduo was surprised when he saw that there was a female tank in the presence of Pyke, and he said: "Pyke in the solo lane!"

At the same time, my left hand’s mind went blank…
