Chapter 133 The Clown Wants to Flutter
Editorial department of Esports Times magazine.
Ruan Cheng slumped down at his workstation without any proper posture, glancing at his WeChat group from time to time.
At this moment, this group of people, which brought together most of the journalists in the industry, was filled with a festive atmosphere like the New Year.
"On the scene, the recorder is ready!"
"There's a Roushen match tonight, and every word is gold!"
The reporters from the gaming print media were in tears at this moment.
Think about it, more than half a year ago, after the Glory Season 8 finals at the Bird’s Nest, the Samsara skill point buying scandal suddenly broke out.
At that time, all print media were in a frenzy, working overtime to write press releases and commentaries, eager to get a big bite of this huge traffic pie.
But who knew that this would be their last meal before execution.
Next, Blue Rain left, the League of Legends was formed, and Glory was suspended.
Let it be suspended, at worst we can just go and report on the new league.
But the problem is that Tencent Esports has no intention of flattering the stinky feet of those who are lying in wait.
Don’t ask, the question is what is e-sports print media?
Can this thing compare to a marketing account with 50,000 followers?
At the beginning, the print media were quite tough. After all, they were used to being treated as guests of honor by the league operators.
In the Glory League, they are not just simple news disseminators, but also the public opinion outlet provided by the entire league.
Not only can they determine the future of some players by manipulating public opinion.
Even some of the famous reporters among them, even though their own Honor level is not very high, will be invited to the commentary booth by the Honor League.
Such a lofty status makes it impossible for them to lower themselves easily.
They all agreed that they should wait for Feng Xianjun to ask them to report.
Then, they held on for half a year, watching the LPL competitions at all stages being very successful, with countless self-media outlets growing bigger and stronger by reporting on the league content, while print media outlets, like Honor, could only tighten their belts to make ends meet.
Finally I couldn't hold on any longer.
Feng Xianjun actually had no intention of targeting these old enemies. He was simply too busy with work and completely forgot about them.
When Yi Lan came to him in person with a humble attitude, he would not mind giving them a meal.
Who knew that this forgetfulness would create a large group of lackeys for himself.
"Thank you Mr. Feng, thank you LPL League!"
"Mr. Feng is such a good man. I used to write something sarcastic to him. I am such a piece of shit!"
Ruan Cheng curled his lips in disgust as he looked at the corny and somewhat flattering praise for LPL and Feng Xianjun in the group.
A bunch of spineless slaves.
Unlike him...there is no share of the new cake for him.
For some reason, when various print media found the industry leader E-Sports Home and asked their editor-in-chief to look for Feng Xianjun,
The boss of the second largest media in the e-sports circle, Times, was unexpectedly tough and said on the phone that he had no interest in getting involved in this mess.
So, when reporters from all magazines were happily packing up and rushing to Shanghai to prepare for interviews, reporters from E-Sports Times could only stay in the editorial office and watch awkwardly.
Ruan Cheng looked lazy and indifferent on the surface, but he was actually already crying inside.
What on earth is the boss doing?
Just when Ruan Cheng was almost twisted with jealousy, the door opened.
The editor-in-chief walked in with great strides: "Xiao Ruan!"
"Don't just lie there. What a mess! I have a mission for you!"
Looking at Ruan Cheng's extremely complicated expression, he was stunned for a moment, then suddenly smiled:
"What? Are you worried because we didn't get an interview opportunity with LPL?"
Ruan Cheng's mind moved. The editor-in-chief's attitude did not seem unprepared at all. "No, I just don't know the magazine's next strategy, and I subconsciously feel a little uneasy."
The editor-in-chief looked at the boy's tactful look and patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction: "Xiao Ruan, there is one thing you need to think clearly about." "Those magazines thought they were rewarded with a bite to eat, and they rushed to praise Tencent Esports and the LPL League."
"But the problem is that the Honor League and the LPL are in opposition! Honor has even issued a unilateral restraining order."
"If they all go to lick the LPL, what will Honor think?"
"On the contrary, we are the ones who can still stick to the Glory League at a time like this. The situation is completely different!"
"To be honest, our magazine has already reached a preliminary cooperation intention with the Glory Professional League. From now on, we will be the official media!"
The editor-in-chief looked so excited that he had everything under control, which stunned Ruan Chengdu.
He thought that not fighting for opportunities in the e-sports era was simply a matter of inaction, but he didn't expect it also involved the issue of taking sides!
only……
"Editor-in-chief, tell me, even if Honor of Kings resumes, can it beat the LPL league?" He was a little worried.
The editor-in-chief smiled mysteriously and suddenly lowered his voice: "I'll tell you some inside information."
"The Glory League has been suspended for half a year, not because they want to avoid the edge of the League of Legends, but because they are really holding back a big one!"
"They invited the best game designers from abroad and used the advanced technology of Honor to upgrade the Honor game."
"This matter even has the support of several international financial groups!"
"As soon as the new version of Honor of Kings comes out, League of Legends will be powerless to resist with its limited skills!"
As soon as Ruan Cheng heard about foreign designers and international conglomerates, all his doubts disappeared.
An excited and evil smile began to appear on his face, as if he had seen the return of the King of Glory and the scene where those damn colleagues were torn to pieces along with the damn Teng Hai.
How can a domestic Internet company withstand the encirclement and suppression by foreign industry elites?
I can only say that I did study journalism.
"So, what we need to do is to warm up public opinion before our glorious return!"
"At the same time, we can't let the LPL guys have too much comfort!"
There was a hint of ferocity in the editor-in-chief's eyes.
Ruan Cheng had already entered working mode at this time, and began to rack his brains to think about what weaknesses of LPL could be used as a breakthrough.
After a few breaths, his eyes lit up and he quickly opened his phone to search.
"Have you any ideas?" The editor-in-chief came forward.
Ruan Cheng opened Xianyu Live and clicked into the LPL live broadcast room high up on the homepage.
"Editor-in-chief, I have also been following the LPL League during this period and analyzing the differences between it and the Honor League."
"The LPL league has done a comprehensive job in all aspects, and the behavioral norms of players and fans are well controlled."
"But they took the initiative to retain the biggest weakness!"
Clicking into the live broadcast room, today's popularity is frighteningly high.
After all, Xingxin vs. Fanhua should be considered the biggest focus match after the opening game.
The triple crown champion versus the Sanya king, it’s exciting to think about it.
However, neither the Sanya King nor the Triple Crown Champion appeared in the pre-match trash talk session today.
Instead, there are two top laners.
When Ruan Cheng entered the live broadcast room, the clip of Tang Rou talking trash was just being broadcast.
Tang Rou was seen sitting in front of the camera, looking neatly dressed, smiling gracefully, and looking like a quiet girl.
But what came out of her mouth were not gentle words at all:
"Zhao Yang is a top laner that I respect very much, but I don't think he is as strong as me."
"If I can't kill him in a single shot, I think I can consider retiring."
The first update has been sent to you. There will be more in a while, don't worry.
