Chapter 284 Shocked Zhou Zekai for a whole year, and the reincarnation was weakened to an epic level
In fact, there was no need for Jiang You to remind them, as the brothers of Tyranny did not dare to have any expectations for the competition.

Even if we put aside the opening-game home-swapping tactic that is still rampant in the ladder, no one knows how much focus the two teams facing off today will have on glory.

There is no need to say much about Samsara, as they have officially announced that all their main forces will be sent to the newly established CSGo division.

Maybe the Honor officials were anxious, so they came back to play the game reluctantly.

I don’t know if Xiao Zhou next door has gotten used to using the AWP and if he switches back to the sharpshooter’s Barrett sniper, will he still be as accurate as before.

As for Tyranny, although there has been no official statement, it seems to be one of the last remaining giants in Honor Esports.

But it would be fine to deceive outsiders. Among the people who came to the scene today, who among them is not a senior figure who has some connection with the club?

Having received salary from Tyranny and visited the Tyranny Club, it is impossible for them not to know Qin Muyun and Song Qiying, who are regarded as the future of Tyranny.

Not to mention, among the top top laners in the Chinese server of League of Legends next door, there is the only mysterious passerby king who has never broadcast any live broadcasts or played any games so far.

The ID is Hu Tianguiyan.

The desert smoke, the long river sunset, the wild geese returning home...

No, are you really just picking on a poem by Wang Wei?

Considering that Song Qiying played as a unit when he first debuted, he immediately switched to a jungler after entering the professional arena.

It is clear what Tyranny is thinking.

So in the end, this comeback debut, which was highly anticipated by the authorities, major media, and countless fans who were unaware of the truth,

The two opponents in the battle are actually two traitors?

It's really abstract.

"We traveled thousands of miles to Shanghai for a match like this. Do you think we are crazy?"

Ye Du Hantan and Jiang You were sitting close to each other and whispering to him.

"The opening game has to be made formal, right?" Jiang You smiled.

"Since the round-trip travel and accommodation are all covered, and there's also a reward, why not do it?"

"That's true." Ye Du Hantan muttered.

After all, the fact that they were able to get together was more like a group of old friends who had not seen each other for a long time doing team building in this way and reminiscing about the glorious past.

Jiang You thought about it, and suddenly lowered his voice mysteriously: "Actually, after watching this game, there is another game to watch."

Ye Duhantan glanced at him and asked, "What competition?"

Jiang You said with a smile: "Let's go to LSPL to see Xiao Song and Xiao Qin, do you want to go?"

"LSPL?! That's great! Excellent Era is going to North America to cause trouble, so we'll probably be number one! I think Xiao Song can be a wild core as well! Who are we going to play against tonight?"

Ye Du Hantan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

"YM, who are fourth in the league, also have a group of talented youngsters. During the offseason, many people wanted to buy them but they didn't sell them. It seems that they also want to get a spot in the LPL."

"Now that Excellent Era is going to North America, it seems that Vici Gaming has even pulled Gao Yingjie out. I guess he's going to fight in Eternal Tribulation. They really have the potential."

The two discussed the current situation of the LSPL in detail, not caring at all that they were at a Glory game.

However, the uncontrolled discussion earned her a cold stare from the girl next to her.

Maybe it means "you are not loyal"?
"Go, go, of course you'll go. I watched Xiao Song and Xiao Qin grow up, so of course I have to go and support them!" Ye Du Hantan clapped his hands.

"We'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later, it's time to start, let's get down to business first!"

While the two were talking and chatting, the lights in the venue had already lit up and focused on the stage.

"Good evening, dear Honor players and e-sports enthusiasts! It's been a year since we last met, and I miss you so much. Welcome to the opening match of the Honor Professional League's ninth season regular season, which has resumed after a year. It's a powerful match between Tyranny and Samsara!"

The commentary began to sound throughout the venue, and the opening naturally began with some clichéd pleasantries.

"Why are there these two generals again, tsk tsk." Ye Du Hantan curled his lips in disdain.

The long-awaited opening match, the official Glory naturally did not dare to neglect it, and directly invited the strongest team in terms of qualifications and commentary ability.

Pan Lin and Li Yibo.

Originally, by the standards of the Glory League, this commentary lineup was considered luxurious. In the past, only these two would be the commentators for the focus matches between strong teams.

But now looking at it again, it seems quite different.

There's nothing I can do. Everything is afraid of comparison.

Pan Lin is considered a veteran commentator in the industry, with good qualifications and experience, while Li Yibo is a member of the championship team Tyranny, and this title definitely made him a focal figure at the time.

But what about next door?

Although Wang Duoduo and other new commentators are indeed a little immature, they all have high academic qualifications, extremely strong professional skills, and generally have their own unique skills.

For example, Wang Duoduo's impromptu poetry recitation is so impressive that I don't know how many viewers he has attracted.

As for Coach Wei Chen, he is even more of a heavyweight. Not only does he understand the game as well as any professional player, but he also has a natural ability to give a good show.

Often, one is able to make one’s own analysis and prediction before various local events break out, and then either the guess is correct or a reversal with a full comedic effect occurs.

And what about Li Yibo?
His commentary level is still at the fourth season. Once the intensity of the game increased, all he could do was wow wow wow.

Not to mention Wei Chen, even the three useless dogs under his command can surpass him in commentary effect.

In the eighth season of that year, the two of them were suppressed by Wang Duoduo and Wei Chen to the point that they were deprived of even the chance to show up at the Bird's Nest.

Now that those people have changed jobs, they were asked to take on the main responsibility again.

Listening to the familiar and boring explanation of the formula, Ye Du Han Tan just felt exhausted.

"Another day of missing Coach Wei."

"Okay, cheer up and cheer!" Jiang You comforted.

After a few words of nonsense, Pan Lin began to thank the sponsors as usual.

But compared to the luxurious lineup at the peak of the S8 finals, the current Honor sponsored lineup, although not as few as two or three big cats and small cats, is also a lot shabby.

And this is what I was able to scrape together after the recent resurgence of popularity and a wave of money.

While explaining the nonsense, Ye Du Han Tan was bored and looked around. Finally, his attention was focused on the competition stage in the center: "This layout looks familiar to me."

It was then that he realized that compared to the Glory venue he had become accustomed to in the past few years, the current venue had undergone tremendous changes.

The original closed fighting room for both sides was cancelled and replaced by an open large stage and fighting seats.

The entire decoration style has also changed. The black and red colors representing Tyranny and the yellow blocks representing Samsara create a very eye-catching contrasting look.

It does seem to be much more interesting than the two closed rooms before, but...

"It's not a feeling, it's just following the style of the LPL next door." Jiang You confirmed Ye Du Hantan's guess.

In fact, it is not just the stage configuration, but also some of the details of the entire competition process, the broadcast method, and even part of the competition system.
Honor has carried out reforms that imitated the LPL next door.

For example, the playoff system has changed from the previous two-on-two duel starting from the first round to a mode like the LPL next door where the teams start from the end of the playoffs and the top two teams have a resurrection armor.

For example, post-match interviews and voice chats...

All in all, except for the game content, everything is in line with LPL.

As the only e-sports league that has achieved huge success in the global arena, the League of Legends League is the only template that many up-and-coming players can refer to.

Therefore, the Glory Professional League did not dare to be stubborn in the slightest during the rematch.

Anything that can be copied, whether it is the competition system or the marketing plan,

No matter what the deeper meaning of Tencent Esports’ setting is, we just copy it and that’s it!
"Here they come, the contestants are entering, get excited!" Jiang You suddenly became energetic.

"Admission? Like in LPL?" Ye Du Hantan was stunned, then laughed.

The neighboring LPL has a routine entrance system before each game, but it caused quite a stir when it first came out.

Especially Chu Yunxiu's throat-slitting ceremony, which immediately became the number one hot search at that time.

Compared to Honor, the players even have to enter the venue in advance and only show up occasionally at the post-match press conference. This is much more interesting.

You know, even in the All-Star Game, which is the most suitable competition for creating gimmicks, Honor has never had a segment like the player entrance show.

At most, they would just say a few words when the contestants appeared on stage in various competitions, and the scene would not be that scary.

Of course, there was a reason why Ye Xiu would never show his face, but it was more due to commercial thinking. The officials at that time had never thought of this aspect. Now, the LPL next door has set an example, and the Glory League immediately copied this idea of ​​greatly increasing the gimmick.

Somehow, Ye Du Hantan was looking forward to the appearance of his captain.

I don’t know how domineering a strong guy like him can put on a debut show.

However, as an away team, before looking at the Tyranny, we naturally have to look at the home team's rotation first.

Zhou Zekai, the first person to appear in the reincarnation, made him laugh.

As a person with severe social anxiety, Xiao Zhou can still act decently when shooting a commercial, but he feels uncomfortable when he is under the spotlight.

It was fine when it was a closed competition before, but now it has suddenly moved to a stage that is the center of public attention, and we have to play in front of countless pairs of eyes.

You even have to come up with such a thing to appear.

Zhou Zekai suddenly felt a little tingling on his scalp.

Jiang Botao spent a long time preparing the audience psychologically, almost hypnotizing them into believing that "having an entrance ceremony is no big deal."

The entire Samsara team prepared a set of decent and domineering moves for him, and then they forced him to go on stage.

Zhou Zekai walked the first two steps quite well, and he was considered top-notch among all the handsome men and beautiful women in the Glory League, with a look that far surpassed all the other boy bands, and was as beautiful as a painting.

Suddenly——

“Zhou Zekai ahhhhhhhhhhhhh——————”

“Xiao Zhou is so handsome ahhhhhhh——————”

“My husband is so handsome—I’m dying aaaaaaah!”

As one of the most qualified players in the league to be an idol, Zhou Zekai's fan circle is already huge, and even before he won the championship, it was in no way inferior to those of the major giants.

After that, with the blessing of winning the championship, the skill point event further purified it.

One can imagine the fighting power of the fans who went offline to support Zhou Zekai at this time.

As soon as Zhou Zekai took two steps onto the stage, thunderous cheers erupted from all around the venue.

In between were the high-pitched screams that pierced through gold and split rocks.

“Wow...this combat power…” Ye Du Hantan looked around in shock.

Although such scenes of thunder and lightning had appeared in the past during the Glory era, this was definitely the first time I had seen such a scene of demons dancing wildly.

"I feel like we are a bit redundant." Given the situation, why do we need people like them to just fill the scene and shout slogans?

"I asked you here to set the pace, not to be a loudspeaker." Jiang You smiled.

Poor Jiang Botao worked hard for a long time to finally prepare Zhou Zekai mentally, but in the face of such a scene, his mentality was broken in a second and Zhou Zekai's steps immediately became a little disordered.

Especially next, his sensitive ears caught a deep and loud voice like a bell from the noise in the audience: "My husband is so handsome!"

Zhou Zekai immediately shuddered as if he had been electrocuted, and the calmness he had managed to maintain on his face was broken in an instant.

The aura and reserve of the gun king, the defending champion, the best active player, and the executive vice-goat were all thrown out of the window.

He staggered to the center of the stage, completely forgetting all the movements he had planned. After a hasty bow, he fled to the competition seat as if running for his life, using the computer to cover his body.

It's scary for children to see.

Jiang Botao, who came on next, was much better, but his smile was also forced.

The league has learned all the star-making operation models from the neighboring LPL, which has given a small shock to the fan circle of people like Zhou Zekai who have severe social anxiety.

Now, I don’t know how well Zhou Zekai can maintain his condition in the next competition.

This is an epic nerf...

"Do Ye Xiu and the others all play games in this kind of atmosphere?" Jiang Botao wondered.

That’s not the case. The LPL is just in its infancy and the atmosphere is much better.

On the one hand, LPL games have been in full swing, the number of League of Legends players is also on the rise, and among e-sports audiences, those who play games still account for the majority.

In this case, even if you are in a fan club, you will be relatively rational.

Compared to the competition which has been suspended for more than a year and has accumulated a large wave of momentum through fan circle operations, the concentration is obviously two levels lower.

In addition, under Pei Yunteng's repeated orders, Tencent Esports' control over the competition site can be said to be frighteningly strong.

After all, in Pei Yunteng’s previous life, whether in e-sports or traditional sports, there were too many similar scandals.

Pei Yunteng did not have any luck with the overall quality of the audience. He did not want everyone to be unable to watch the game because of a heavyweight who suddenly appeared.

The management inside the venue is relatively strict, and even the support materials are prepared by the official. When encountering a focus traffic war, professional fan leaders from all parties' fan circles are contacted in advance to ask them to maintain order.

Thanks to the multi-pronged management, the LPL scene was lively but unexpectedly neat and harmonious.

Obviously, Honor did not take these details into consideration when it copied the app.

We only saw LPL using various gimmicks to stir up topics, but we didn’t see the various measures they took to manage the public opinion environment.

Like today, it's just a little too enthusiastic, which is still okay.

It would be really fun if two toxic fans came, which is even rare, and wrote some unbroadcastable content on the support board, or shouted some heavyweight songs on the spot.

The people from the reincarnation team appeared one after another after Zhou Zekai. Although they were still much better than Zhou Zekai, each of them still felt a little restrained.

After all, no one has ever seen this scene.

As for Sun Xiang, I don’t know if he is not smart enough or is too careless. This guy was unexpectedly relaxed and at ease when he appeared for Samsara for the first time.

But it's just a little too loose.

While each of their limbs moved in their own way, they also looked around curiously at the audience.

The main character is nonchalant, and almost made the people who were having fun with his domineering ambitions laugh to death.

But soon they couldn't laugh anymore.

Tyranny's appearance doesn't seem to be much better than Samsara's.

Han Wenqing is not a player who is good at dealing with large-scale events with the support of thousands of people. With his old-fashioned and serious personality, he cannot adapt well to such noise and chaos.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have participated in interviews, and would always repeat the same old words like "see you on the field" or "come back next year".

In the past, when he dealt with such situations, he usually relied on his own powerful aura to suppress the entire audience. When everyone was quiet or restrained, that was his time to perform.

But in today's situation, no aura is effective.

Even though the few players from the team had already taken the lead in shouting the cheering slogans they had prepared long ago, trying to set a unified rhythm for the entire stadium,
It also failed to stop the rampage of some fanatical fans.

So after Zhou Zekai, another captain failed. However, Han Wenqing was stronger. He managed to endure the discomfort and waved to everyone, made a fist gesture, and then quickly entered the competition seat.

"It's over... I think Team Korea should deduct our wages because of their performance." Ye Du Hantan covered his face with his hands.

This is a very cowardly person.

"It's okay, I tried my best." Jiang You's face was a little stiff at this time.

"Anyway, the impact on the other side is definitely much more serious than ours." He comforted himself.

The two of them complained for a few words, and after both sides entered the fighting seats, the venue finally calmed down a little.

Ye Du Han Tan complained: "I didn't think this match would be worth watching, but now it seems that this opening alone is worth the price of the ticket."

"Where else can you see this group of demons dancing wildly?"

I have watched dozens of games of Team Tyranny, both home and away, but this is the first time I have seen such a scene.

"I can only say that we still have a lot of shortcomings in fan management and operations..." Jiang You sighed.

Times have indeed changed. After breaking out of the circle, the trend of chaos among fan groups is inevitable.

If we still manage fans with the same ideas as we used to manage the guild, the only outcome will be loss of control.

"I'll ask the club if they can recruit some people and increase the funding..."

　First update, the situation is a little better.

　　If nothing unexpected happens, it will be there in a while.
