Chapter 245: Glory warms up, the storm is coming.

After giving Ye Xiu a shot of chicken blood, the next step was to discuss matters related to Glory.

Pei Yunteng will not forget that there will be a major version update next door tomorrow.

In fact, Ye Xiu called him this time not only to express his gratitude, but also to ask him about another important issue, which was the internal testing of Glory.

The LPL summer season schedule has been released and will officially start in mid-June.

Before this, Ye Xiu and others had plenty of time to start the live broadcast.

Even before Ye Xiu called, he was working as the second channel commentator for MSI on Xianyu.

Then the problem is coming.

After the Glory version update, will this group of pre-Glory professions represented by Ye Xiu be broadcast?
This is indeed a question worth thinking about, but Ye Xiu and the others don't need to think about it.

Pei Yunteng asked them to play it, so they played it and tried it.

Hearing Ye Xiu and the others throwing the question to him, Pei Yunteng smiled, his voice becoming a little more domineering:
"Play! Why not play?"

"As a major gaming event that has been discussed the most these days, second only to MSI, why not take advantage of this wave of popularity?"

Pei Yunteng has never been interested in such small actions as unilateral protection.

It's not that he's really as old-fashioned as a knight who adheres to virtue.

The main reason was that he subconsciously felt that unless he was facing an opponent whom he was far from being able to defeat, doing these dishonorable little tricks would only cause him to lose points.

But now, the new version of Glory, which was obviously not mature enough and had a lot of problems, obviously did not reach the point where Pei Yunteng needed to resort to conspiracy and trickery.

On the contrary, he welcomes this thing to pave the way for the market.

In Pei Yunteng's opinion, after the version of Honor was updated, all the factors that discouraged players and were less involved in Boss Honor were brought together.

In particular, the frustration of being repeatedly ravaged by monsters tests the player's tolerance every second.

However, before the new game from Tencent Hai was announced to the public, the mechanism of this new version of Honor could be considered unique in the world, and it sounded quite exciting.

Pei Yunteng could already foresee the scene where countless players would curse the planner's entire family while gritting their teeth and continuing to play the game.

By the time Honor has collected feedback from players and started to modify their version bit by bit, it will be Tencent's turn to reap the benefits.

After careful consideration for a long time, Pei Yunteng finally decided on two games to supplement the existing e-sports market.

First of all, FPS games represented by CS are definitely not absent.

As one of the earliest developed e-sports game modes in the true sense, FPS games far surpass MOBA games in terms of instantaneous stimulation.

The competition is very enjoyable to watch, and the key is that the threshold is not high.

The threshold for League of Legends is not high, but not everyone can understand the game and tactics involved.
But FPS is different. If you don’t understand other things, how can you not understand if you can just shoot your opponent to death with one shot?

Like Pei Yunteng himself, due to his clumsy hands, he had not played much CSGO in his previous life.

But it didn't stop him from enjoying watching the game.

Considering the huge impact of mobile games on PC gaming platforms, Pei Yunteng is not willing to launch the super killer game Honor of Kings in the short term.

Such a simple, crude and easy to understand CS will undoubtedly be an important general in the future expansion of the circle.

Of course, in FPS games, Valorant is also an important candidate.

Even at the beginning, in Pei Yunteng's mind, Valorant had a higher priority than CS.

After all, the mode and style of this game are closer to Honor and League of Legends, and it is easier to convert.

But in the end, Pei Yunteng gave up.

The reason is simple, it is to limit people like Zhou Zekai who hang around.

The smoke disturbances of Valorant are as familiar to these unreasonable sharpshooters as home.

By that time they have defeated the whole world and dominated CS for ten or twenty years. Then what is the point of watching this competition?
So even though he was reluctant to give up those unique advantages, Pei Yunteng finally agreed to give up Wa and choose CS.

At least give them more time to familiarize themselves with the game, and give other players some room to survive.

In addition to CS, the other one is the heavyweight among heavyweights.

Chicken Dinner, a legendary word that has left a mark in the entire history of games simply by relying on a creative gameplay.

This model is actually not very suitable for e-sports. In Pei Yunteng's previous life, there has never been a truly phenomenal chicken-eating e-sports competition.

But Pei Yunteng still took this model without hesitation.

There is no other reason, just because it is chicken.

The phenomenal chicken-eating craze that swept the world in 2017 left a profound impact on him.

This mode is so awesome that even with all kinds of debuffs, it can still support the third-tier second-tier e-sports league after it becomes popular.

The key is that the core of this thing is actually the continuous standardization and modeling of creativity.

According to the information obtained by Pei Yunteng, the geniuses who have been working overtime to make modifications to Glory during this period have actually already touched the edge of this model.

At least they have planned to change the original one-on-one team mode to a mode where multiple teams fight each other to grab the boss in the map.

If they were given some more time and a chance to make mistakes...

A chicken-eating game with the same technical capabilities and picture quality as Honor could bring real crisis to Tencent's e-sports industry.

Among the countless different chicken-eating games, Pei Yunteng chose carefully and finally chose the one he played the most in his previous life -

Eternal and endless.

As the only successful one among many attempts to adapt the chicken-eating mode to cold weapons, the success of Everlasting Sin is unquestionable.

The key is that the model of this thing is the closest to the Honor next door, so Pei Yunteng can continue to dig into the corners of the next door in a big way.

Moreover, compared to those who play gun games, such as PUBG, Pai Pai, etc., there is no need to worry about Naraka and CS snatching away talent.

In this era when most Glory clubs have been torn apart, the three-person team model is also quite suitable for allowing Glory to make a seamless connection.

As for the age-old question of audience…

Hey! Isn't it that Honor is stepping on the minefield in front of us?

When Honor has almost finished taming the fans, Yongjie will go out and pick some peaches, and the job will be done!
Because Rong Yao still had to wait for him to do the offending work, Pei Yunteng didn't mind letting Rong Yao continue to be arrogant for a while.

Not only did he allow the original Honor players to broadcast Honor before the end of the offseason, he even planned to renew the Honor broadcasting contract that had been shelved for a long time.

Not only can you catch the attention of others, but you also don't have to worry about being criticized.

After all, Ye Xiu and his friends were from Glory.

The transition to League of Legends is understandable, but if it goes back and steps back, that would be controversial.

After all, at least in China, people don't mind forgetting their roots.

Pei Yunteng has witnessed with his own eyes how sensitive e-sports fans are.

Letting them cooperate with Honor’s publicity can protect their image to the greatest extent.

In addition to considerations from the perspective of the players, Teng Hai can also take this opportunity to once again establish his selfless personality.

With a rival to compete with, Tencent doesn't have to worry about being accused of monopolizing the market.

Ye Xiu, who originally took this very seriously, found that Pei Yunteng still seemed to be indifferent and he was a little confused.

He couldn't help but ask, "Boss Pei, aren't you worried that Glory will take away some of the audience and players?"

Not only those players in the Glory League who have not been poached, but also some of those who have already made the transition have not been able to achieve results.

What if I see that Honor has released a new version and want to switch back?
"If they have the ability, they can give it a try." Pei Yunteng's tone was calm, yet with a hint of confidence.

If Pei Yunteng was still a little worried about the contestants before today,
Well, after the central bank personally sent out that congratulatory post, this problem was easily solved.

The official recognition is more effective than everything Pei Yunteng has done for the e-sports circle before and the impression it left on the players.

After all, no matter how successful LPL was in the past, it was just icing on the cake on the basis of glory.

Money, fame, fans, these things already existed during the Glory era, but not as much as they do now.

However, official recognition is something that Glory cannot obtain for its players no matter how hard it tries.

Unless they bring out the World Invitational.

But now, this unparalleled opportunity to increase reputation has been seized by Pei Yunteng.

With this reputation, Tenghai Games naturally has an extra layer of buff for professional players:

My family won’t be so opposed to playing this kind of game, they might even support it!

Do you want to win glory for your country?
With this buff, as long as Tenghai's game is not too bad, it will always have the upper hand in the battle for talent with Honor.

Under such circumstances, if you don’t choose those people from Tenghai Games... Pei Yunteng can only say one thing: Everyone has their own dreams and they can live their own wonderful lives.

Seeing that Pei Yunteng didn't take the threat of Glory seriously at all, Ye Xiu could only choose to trust his judgment.

"In that case, I'll just play it carefully."

……

Continental, Caudick family estate.

"Did your country's official media personally publish an article to congratulate MSi on his victory?" Bobby Cortick listened to the call from Han Yong and nodded slightly to indicate that he understood.

"It seems that Pei's power is indeed not small." After sighing like this, Codick had no other comments.

Han Yong on the other end of the phone looked upset.

It's such a big thing, and you don't take it seriously at all?
Is it really necessary to be so stupid?
In fact, Han Yong really wronged Codick.

The reason why Kotick didn't take the matter too seriously was purely because of cultural differences.

Electronic games became popular in Europe and the United States much earlier than in China.

E-sports culture is also very strong in these areas.

In addition, they are relatively open-minded, which means that there is a social atmosphere where nothing is taboo.

E-sports is much less popular among African Americans in European and American societies than in China.

Of course, Kodick could not understand how important this post from CCTV was to the players and audiences in China.

I just feel that Pei Yunteng, who was able to persuade the official media, is indeed very powerful.

Han Yong naturally didn't think about these things. He just felt that Codick was indeed a waste.

It was a close call that I turned against myself.

Since Codick didn't take it seriously, Han Yong naturally had no obligation to remind this bastard, so he just reported the next thing according to his wishes.

"There's news from Tenghai that they hope to restart negotiations with us on the broadcasting contract."

"Broadcasting contract?" Kodick suddenly became excited, "Tell me more about it!"

"During Feng Xianjun's term, Tenghai Company signed a broadcasting contract with the Glory League in the Chinese region. The contract amount was 300 million per year."

"After we stopped playing, the contract was frozen accordingly."

"And now, they want to reopen the negotiation of this contract. It seems that they can even increase the broadcasting fee."

Listening to Han Yong's report, the corners of Codick's mouth curled up little by little, which was even harder to suppress than AK.

Finally, he couldn't help laughing:

"God damn it! That Pei saw through the situation so quickly. Is he ready to surrender to us?"

In Codick's opinion, Tenghai's approach to discuss the contract at this time was nothing more than a sign of fear and retreat in front of Honor, and a desire to surrender and seek peace.

"You Chinese have an old saying, 'The dirt-sucking Wei Junjie.' It seems that Mr. Pei has a very deep understanding of this..." Codick tried his best to keep his smile reserved.

However, no matter how reserved the smile was, it could only disgust people on his fat and wretched face.

"Before, Tenghai's games dealt us a heavy blow. Now it's their turn to beg for mercy from us." Thinking of this, Codick felt a sense of pleasure.

Han Yong on the other end of the phone was about to vomit.

Your game hasn't even been released yet, but you've already concluded that they've given up. Who gave you the confidence? Fish Leong?

However, he certainly would not admonish Kodick at this time, but just followed his words and said: "Then the president means--"

"He wants the broadcasting rights, doesn't he? We won't give it to him!" Codick is now like a child waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.

Han Yong lamented how he could have tolerated this fool before, and advised: "President, this may not be realistic."

"Why?" Kodick was unhappy.

"The live broadcast platform under Tenghai Group basically occupies the absolute mainstream of the market in China. If we don't cooperate with them, then we can only use our own website to broadcast live broadcasts and negotiate with TV stations for cooperation in broadcasting."

“That would be detrimental to our development.”

"I see..." When it came to his own interests, Codick finally came to his senses.

As a squid, he has no problem with money.

Seeing that Kodick's attitude had softened, Han Yong quickly pressed the issue: "Besides, the contract they gave us is very sincere. It's a nine-digit cash flow!"

Given Honor's size, they have only received nine-digit cash flow from Tencent so far.

Hearing the nine-digit number, Kodick's eyes lit up and he asked, "Do they really give that much money?"

In this world of live streaming, Tencent has the first-mover advantage and has set an example for the whole world, but it is not in a hurry to enter the global market.

After all, with the precedent of Tik Tok, Pei Yunteng doesn’t want to be the first to take action.

Therefore, foreign live streaming platforms are not under the jurisdiction of Tencent Hai.

At present, the live broadcast industry abroad is in a state of chaos.

Countless small factories that were willing to take the risk worked overtime to launch their own live streaming platforms, and then used the data to defraud investors.

Since industry integration has not really started yet, there is no live streaming platform that is as wealthy as Xianyu, which is owned by Tenghai.

If we could invite a few professional players to support the event, it would be a very good platform.

Not to mention the official broadcasting rights.

Many people are envious of the broadcasting rights for the Glory League, but not many have the financial resources to fight for them.

At least none of them is as wealthy as Tenghai.

Faced with nine-digit cash flow, Cotick could no longer remain calm.

If you don't make this money, are you still a human being?
Even if it comes from your opponent, you must never let it go!
However, although he approved of the cooperation, Kotick still planned to add a little bit of his own bad taste.

He planned to cause trouble for Tenghai.

"Dear Han, the negotiations with Tenghai will now be left to you."

"Besides getting us a good price as possible, I only have one request!"

"drag!"

"Keep them hanging, make them anxious, make them panic, make them beg us to give them the broadcasting rights!"

Codick seemed to see the damn Pei Yunteng surrendering at his feet and begging for forgiveness.

I heard this guy is a real genius at making games. Maybe he can be asked to plan the follow-up of Honor?
"I see..." Han Yong no longer knew how to evaluate this guy.

To drag Tenghai to death? To make them kowtow?

You really want Glory to be completely destroyed.

Who cares? Since Cordick has given the order, Han Yong will just carry it out.

It's just...

"The original intention of that dog Kodick was bad, but it was just carried out by his subordinates..." He seemed to have anticipated in his mind that someone would say this in the future...

So, with Tenghai giving the green light, the player fans who were still celebrating the MSI championship were attracted by the upcoming new version update of Honor that evening.

The die-hard fans of Honor of Kings naturally had a collective climax.

Mousse won the championship, and the central bank came out to congratulate them. The performance that the crazy fans of Honor of Kings had finally put forward was quickly pushed back by the haters.

Now, the clarion call for counterattack has finally been sounded!

Finally, I don’t have to repeat the line “Can you tell the difference between the game and reality?” over and over again when watching the PV of the new version of Honor.

Charge with me!

As for other players, especially LPL fans, they are more of a spectator.

There are countless people who understand that, in a sense, this is the last fight for glory.

If the new version can gain a foothold and restart the Honor Professional League, then Honor can still be saved.

But if you can’t do that…

Then maybe we can look forward to a major upgrade of its games after Tencent Hai acquires Honor.

In this atmosphere, time quietly came to after twelve o'clock...

　The second update is here! Today, 10,000 keeps his word!
　　Good night everyone!
