Chapter 166: Alliance spends a lot of money, small groups fight internally

In Zhao Yuzhe's opinion, the title of best rookie should be worth at least 82 or 3 points. Why should he be given such a low score?

Among all the All-Stars, it’s not too much to ask for the title of the best player, right?
But in fact, it is not unfair for him to get this score.

Although the outsourcer that Han Yong found eventually chose to give up and make a pay-to-win card-drawing mobile game, it still retained a bit of its spirit.

After all, the gaming industry in this world is much more conscientious than Pei Yunteng's previous life.

After all, the industry leader is Tencent, and the driving role it plays is completely different.

When assigning values ​​to cards, we were relatively cautious and tried to make them as reasonable as possible.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be such a joke that Sun Xiang, with a score of 86, lost the arena because of being out of touch.

For this reason, the production team is always very conservative in giving scores to rookie contestants.

Because they didn't fight long enough, no one dared to determine what their future would be like.

Just like NBA2k next door, even a basketball god like Michael Jordan only scored 99 points in his rookie season, which is far from in his peak period.

Among the second-year rookies, only two All-Stars, Sun Xiang and Tang Hao, received relatively high scores.

Moreover, the production team has to leave room for numerical growth for future limited card pools, so how can they simply give high scores?

To be fair, Zhao Yuzhe's score of 79 is only ten points behind Zhou Zekai, the number one player in the league, which can be said to be a very high score.

He is not like Sun Xiang and Wang Jiexi who broke the rookie wall as soon as they debuted. This score is definitely worthy of him.

As for non-All-Star players like Lu Boyuan who were able to score 80+, it was because they were on the championship team.

Champion, whatever you say is right.

The Wind Howl didn’t even make it to the playoffs in Season 8, so what else do they need a bicycle for?

However, Zhao Yuzhe had been tortured for half a year and was completely overwhelmed by anger.

In his opinion, the whole world is targeting him and no one wants him to stand out!

However, no matter how angry he was, no one would care.

Tang Hao and Fang Rui were busy with the live broadcast.

Needless to say, Fang Rui played with full emotional intelligence. Every time a player was replaced, he would stand up and bow, shouting, "I'm sorry, buddy, you take a rest first."

Although Tang Hao also has an arrogant and domineering personality, this time he accidentally used his arrogance in the right place.

In his opinion, as such a strong person, he should lead his teammates to fight for the championship instead of clinging to other high-scoring players.

Therefore, when most other players started to stack all high-scoring lineups, he insisted on pulling out an intact Howling lineup and started playing in the arena.

Due to the player's numerical disadvantage, he has to spend much more time and money than other players to develop and strengthen his skills, and he also has to maximize the game's limited strategic possibilities.

It was very difficult, but Tang Hao gritted his teeth and persevered, becoming a beautiful landscape in the game.

Whenever a passerby enters his live broadcast room, he sees him using such a lineup to fight against other players' all-out teams on equal terms, and the reason is simply because he wants to lead his teammates to win the championship.

Who wouldn't call him a tough captain?

In this way, Tang Hao accidentally created a very fan-attracting personality for himself and happily enjoyed the rising traffic.

In such a joyous atmosphere, who has time to take care of Zhao Yuzhe's mood?
He was left alone in the training room sulking.

However, it's not that no one noticed Zhao Yuzhe's emotions.

"Yuzhe, what's wrong? Are you angry again?" Liu Hao sat down next to Zhao Yuzhe happily and put his arm around Zhao Yuzhe's shoulders without any hesitation.

"Brother Hao." Zhao Yuzhe, who was always arrogant, was unusually nice to Liu Hao. He only called out to him softly because he was in a low mood.

Compared to the original timeline, Liu Hao was bought by Wind Howl one season earlier.

There is only one reason to buy him:
Cheap.

Sun Xiang, who just made a few immature remarks, was ruined by the Jia Shi incident.

Not to mention Liu Hao who was making small moves from beginning to end.

You know, even though Sun Xiang talks big, Excellent Era's downturn has nothing to do with him.

On the contrary, in the second half of the season, Sun Xiang maintained his status as the golden thigh of Yueyun and almost brought Jia Shi back to the playoffs.

And what about Liu Hao?

Ever since the internal strife at Excellent Era was exposed, angry Excellent Era fans have been digging through all the past Excellent Era game videos.

The final conclusion was that Excellent Era's fall to the point where they were almost forced to play in the relegation match had nothing to do with Ye Xiu.

His and Su Mucheng's performance during the Excellent Era period remained at their usual high standard.

The main reason why Jia Shi was defeated was that Liu Hao and his gang did not cooperate.

The reason why no one broke the news before was because there was no big event to prompt fans to watch the video in detail, and fans couldn't understand it if they just watched the game roughly.

But when the tide recedes, it becomes clear who is inside and what is inside.

Therefore, Liu Hao's reputation suffered a much more severe blow than Sun Xiang's.

As a quasi-all-star level player, he is a strong player who serves as the third person in a powerful team like Jia Shi.

Howling spent one million to buy him.

That’s right, one million.

Although there is the factor of the league's recession, this price can no longer be said to be a bargain.

Being sold at such a low price is a humiliation for any player.

But Liu Hao held back.

Just like Ye Xiu said, this guy has an excellent ability to read the game and his mind is meticulous enough.

It's just that he didn't use this talent in the game, but transferred it to reality.

Liu Hao knew very well what kind of desperate situation he would face after Excellent Era's collapse.

If you fail to correct your position in time, what awaits you will be an abyss.

Therefore, his performance during this year can be described as "well-behaved".

During the Excellent Era period, he worked diligently with Sun Xiang and worked hard to bring Excellent Era to the tenth place, a relatively acceptable position.

After being traded, Liu Hao changed his previous label of being fond of infighting and worked hard to build good relationships with everyone in the team.

Take his interactions with Zhao Yuzhe for example. Far from being arrogant because of his qualifications, he lowered his posture and was even willing to be half a level lower than Zhao Yuzhe.

And this kind of days lasted for a full half year.

As the saying goes, a journey of a thousand miles tests a person's ability, and time reveals a person's true character. In half a year, the members of the Howling Team gradually accepted this teammate with a lot of dark history.

Feng Xiao had never expected that the cheap stuff he had just bought to expand the team would actually have such a function. Surprised, he gradually raised Liu Hao's status in the team. He is now the fourth in command of the team.

Seeing Liu Hao, Zhao Yuzhe suddenly let out the words he had been holding back for a long time: "Brother Hao, the official e-sports manager is too bullying!"

Liu Hao looked at the boy's indignant expression and thought to himself, if you, a rookie with 79 points, are considered a bully, then what about me, a vice-captain with 72 points?
That’s right, as a fan-oriented game, reputation and traffic are also important factors that the e-sports manager production team considers when rating.

For a player like Liu Hao whose reputation has completely exploded, the official very unceremoniously gave him a score of 72.

You know, as the third in command of a wealthy family, even if we don’t count the all-star level Li Yihui and Yu Feng, Bai Yanfei of Tyranny alone has a score eleven points higher than him.

It was precisely because Zhao Yuzhe believed that Liu Hao and he shared the same suffering that he was so open-minded in this matter.

Liu Hao listened quietly to Zhao Yuzhe's confession and quickly organized his words in his mind.

“Yuzhe, there’s actually no need for you to be angry over a mere score. It’s not worth it.” Liu Hao spoke in a gentlemanly tone.

"Let's not talk about whether the rating of a rubbish game has any reference value. Even if it does, it is definitely not just based on strength."

Zhao Yuzhe looked up in confusion.

Liu Hao was delighted to see that the boy was willing to listen, and quickly explained:
"Look, even though I don't think I'm very strong, if I can increase my strength by a few points, it should be no problem."

"This game gave me a score of 72, which is enough to prove that they just want traffic."

"Yu Zhe usually focuses on competitions and improving your abilities, so your exposure in front of the media is not high, so they naturally won't give you too high a score."

Liu Hao said this very beautifully. It seemed like he was analyzing the reasons, but in fact, every word was just flattery.

Zhao Yuzhe felt very comfortable hearing this.

"So that's how it is! That's not surprising. Thank you, Brother Hao."

"What's there to thank me for? It's good that you can figure it out." Liu Hao looked calm and composed, but he was secretly proud of himself.

This kid is so easy to fool.

It seems that my life will be better after those two guys leave.

That's right, the reason why Liu Hao chose to lick Zhao Yuzhe instead of Tang Hao and Fang Rui who had higher status,

Because he felt that these two people would not stay in the league for long.

I have to say that Liu Hao's observation ability is really top-notch. Given his position, he can actually see the league's predicament before many club managements.

In Liu Hao's opinion, compared with Honor, Tencent's e-sports games are more likely to become the future of the e-sports field.

Even if the Honor Alliance can continue to operate, it is destined to go downhill.

However, no matter how well Tencent Esports develops, it will probably have nothing to do with Liu Hao.

He was not a star player to begin with, and he was charged with the extremely serious crime of inciting internal strife within the team, and he had no corresponding transformation experience.

Due to past performance, the Glory Alliance might still give him some face so that he can continue to have a meal.

But why does Tencent Esports think highly of me?

Liu Hao saw clearly that he could only live his life in glory.

Therefore, what he should do is to find a backer who is also likely to stay in the Glory Professional League for a long time.

Tang Hao and Fang Rui are very strong, but either the live broadcast has a good show effect, or they are young and strong.

If Howl wants to try to transform into other divisions, these two will most likely not stay in the Glory division.

On the contrary, it is very likely that Zhao Yuzhe will stay here.

He has a bad temper and is arrogant, but his abilities are not that strong and his traffic is not large.

In the Howling Glory division, he is most likely to be the leader.

Now that his relationship with Zhao Yuzhe has become better, Liu Hao feels that his future is more secure.

Just when both of them were in a good mood, the manager, who also had a happy face, strode in.

"Good news, everyone!" The manager walked around the base and called all the players over.

“Since the launch of E-Sports Manager, it has achieved very good business results.”

“As a participating club, we at Whistling can also get a nice share of the dividends!”

Han Yong's attainments in dealing with human relationships and worldly affairs are unquestionable.

He is well aware of how much trouble e-sports managers can cause to major clubs.

They simply released the news of the water explosion in advance and used real money to appease the dissatisfaction of the clubs and players.

"Boss, although making money is a good thing, this thing, to be honest, is a bit unethical." Fang Rui frowned slightly.

Although everything went flawlessly during the live broadcast, he was also able to keenly sense how much controversy and public opinion this game would bring.

The manager's smile faded slightly and he sighed, "Yeah, it's a bit unethical."

"But there's nothing we can do. The original plan was to spend another two months polishing the game and strive to make a finished product of acceptable quality."

"But the World Esports Association is pushing us very hard this time, requiring all branches to go online simultaneously around the world, and the versions are not interoperable. Each version must earn its own share of revenue!"

"Our President Han has no choice but to put this crudely made thing online."

Fang Rui was also a little dumbfounded when he heard that the e-sports manager versions of various leagues were not interoperable: "This... is indeed a bit heavyweight."

One has to be very greedy to make such a decision of choosing money over horses.

As soon as he got to this point, as if he was talking about something sad, the manager started talking immediately: "What's the big deal? The General Association, especially the General Association President Cordick, has always been like this."

"Just like your live broadcast contract, if it weren't for our President Han's insistence, he would probably have charged us a live broadcast tax!"

The manager vividly described to everyone in Howling how Han Yong performed that day when he forced the major clubs to quit.

After hearing about the efforts Han Yong had made for the alliance, Fang Rui and others couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for this president whom they had never met before.

I didn’t think so before, but now it seems that this branch president is indeed a hardworking and good person.

On the contrary, the president of the association sounds a bit anthropomorphic.

Similar situations are happening in almost all clubs.

Han Yong intentionally or unintentionally revealed some "inside information" when announcing the dividends.

At least in these clubs in the Huaxia region, the impression of Codick has completely fallen to the bottom.

But, it's not enough.

He needs to make things bigger.
