Chapter 8 Public Opinion Out of Control (Part )
"Mr. Tao, let's think of a solution!" Cui Li was sweating profusely at this time.
"There are at least hundreds or thousands of people gathered downstairs!"
The huge crowd downstairs, as well as the deafening accusations and slogans, were enough to easily destroy the psychological defenses of the people of Excellent Era.
Don't be fooled by their usual appearances of being more impressive than each other and always surrounded by people. In fact, they are just a bunch of youngsters with little social experience and a bunch of business newbies who suddenly became rich.
When have you ever seen such a grand scene?
But compared to their panic, Tao Xuan didn't even raise his head, still concentrating on the phone in his hand.
"Mr. Tao! Why are you still playing with your phone at this time?" Cui Li couldn't help but said anxiously.
"Why are you panicking?" Tao Xuan sighed.
"The main battlefield is not downstairs."
“Not downstairs?” Cui Li was a little confused.
"It's been less than an hour since the video was posted, and only a very small number of local fans have been able to come down to our building."
Tao Xuan slowly raised his phone, expressionless, and it was hard to tell whether he was calm or numb.
"Open your phones and check our official Weibo, the players' Weibo, and our sponsors' Weibo!"
"That's the real main battlefield!"
Cui Li took out his phone puzzledly and opened Excellent Era's official Weibo account.
Then I was dumbfounded.
Although Jia Shi is considered a wealthy family, when they post a Weibo post, they usually only get a few dozen comments at most and a few hundred at most.
There will only be thousands of comments when there are personnel changes, players' birthdays, important competitions, etc.
Today, the latest Weibo post about Ye Qiu’s retirement has received over 100,000 comments!
Open the comment section and the scene is even more spectacular.
As a side note, in 2018, before Pei Yunteng traveled through time, RNG was defeated in 1020, and Weibo was flooded with messages.
But that time, although RNG was embarrassed, they essentially just lost the game.
Before scandals such as the RNG card contract broke out, losing a game offended e-sports fans, not fan circle fans.
But this time, Excellent Era is different.
He stabbed the core of the team in the back, kicked out the meritorious veterans, and isolated and excluded the two stars Su Ye in the team.
This really touched the sore spot of Ye Xiu and Su Mucheng's fans.
What does the fan circle assault look like?
The Jia Shi comment section and the Jia Shi super topic were unexpectedly neat and tidy.
Each Weibo post is a nine-square grid, with nine pictures filled with bloody red words, listing the crimes of Excellent Era one by one.
Moreover, these accusations are not simply statements of facts, but rather exaggerate the issues.
All kinds of charges such as capital exploitation, violation of laws and disciplines, and corruption of social morals... huge hats were mercilessly put on the heads of the Excellent Era management and players.
This is called exaggerating.
Of course, it wasn’t just Excellent Era’s headquarters that suffered.
The comment sections of the latest Weibo posts of almost all of the sponsors of Jia Shi that could be found were flooded.
Angry Jia Shi fans shouted that Jia Shi was guilty of heinous crimes and demanded that all major sponsors terminate their contracts with Jia Shi immediately.
This trick is called endorsement.
Of course, many Jia Shi fans will question why relevant organizations such as the Honor Esports League headquarters are not taking action.
What's more, even under the Weibo posts of other clubs who were just watching the whole thing, there were frustrated Excellent Era fans.
"Please, Lan Yu, save Su Mucheng!"
"Is Tiny Herb still lacking tactics? He has the skills and awareness, but he's a little old, so no one wants him."
Even under the Weibo of Jia Shi's arch-rival, Tyranny, there were messages from Ye Qiu's fans asking for shelter.
It's messy, it's messy.
The entire Honor circle is in chaos!
……
Xingxin Internet Cafe, on the small iron bed in the storage room.
Ye Xiu was lying on the bed, browsing his phone.
After knowing his identity, Chen Guo originally planned to give Ye Xiu a room, but Ye Xiu refused.
He is not a person who cares about the quality of life, so it doesn't matter where he sleeps.
He had played Glory all night last night, so he should have gotten some sleep now. But the commotion outside, coupled with the excitement brought to Ye Xiu by Pei Yunteng's promise, made him not feel sleepy at all.
What he was looking at now was a large group of Glory professional players.
The argument had already gotten out of hand by this time.
Troubling Rain: "Old Ye, Old Ye, Old Ye, Old Ye, Old Ye, come out, come out, come out, come out! You actually hid such a big thing from us!"
Ye Yu Sheng Fan: "Talk, talk, talk, talk! @One Autumn Leaf."
Shi Buzhuan: "@ the wrong person, that's Sun Xiang's account."
Ye Yu Sheng Fan: "Who should I @ then? Old Ye, come out, come out, come out!"
Wang Buluixing: "Although Huang Shaotian's quarrel annoys me, I support him this time. Ye Qiu, can you come out and explain?"
Windy City Misty Rain: "+1"
Life and Death: "+1"
Darkness: "Please stay rational about the rumors on the Internet. Excellent Era will give everyone a satisfactory response!"
Darkness has been banned for seven days by administrator Damoguyun.
Da Mo Gu Yan: "I didn't ask you."
……
Ye Xiu lurked and peeked for quite a while, and finally popped up happily.
Jun Moxiao: "It's not a big deal, let's go!"
The information flowing in the group came to a halt.
For a while.
Fengcheng Yanyu: "Jun Moxiao? Is it Ye Qiu?"
Soxar: "That should be it. This account has never appeared in professional competitions."
Ye Yu Sheng Fan: "What do you mean it's not a big deal? You've been forced to retire and it's not a big deal? Speak, speak, speak!"
Lord Grim: "So what if I retire? I'm already 25, so what's wrong with taking a year off?"
Silence again.
Da Mo Gu Yan: "After one year, do you want to come to Tyranny and we can join forces and make another attack?"
Han Wenqing, the old enemy who had fought with Ye Xiu for most of his professional career, was the first one to invite Ye Xiu.
This old guy, who has begun to decline, is the one who best understands the other old guy's burning competitive spirit.
To him, Ye Xiu is the best opponent, but when necessary, he can also be the best teammate.
If we can still recruit those two guys...
OK.
Wang Buliuxing: "Come to Weicao, the command position is for you, the core position depends on your ability, and you can choose the account as you like."
Ye Xiu looked at the screen full of recruitment information and couldn't help but laugh.
Jun Moxiao: "It will be at least a year later, you have to give me some time to think about it, right?"
Soxar: "It's okay, you can think about yours, and we will recruit ours."
Suokesar: "After all, it's rare to be able to attract a large number of loyal fans with just one Weibo post."
Scenery Kill: “?”
Fengcheng Yanyu: "I understand. I'll post it on Weibo right away!"
On this day, apart from Excellent Era, the entire league had teams ranging from championship contenders to relegation underdogs, and even a few challenge tournament teams.
Every one of them tried to recruit Ye Xiu with an enthusiastic tone.
Whether or not to recruit Ye Xiu is another matter, but at least he can take advantage of the popularity.
Many Jia Shi fans who had just lost their backbone were immediately moved to tears by this feeling of "help from all sides when one side is in trouble".
Look! Who said that no one wants our Ye Shen?
On this day, the official Weibo accounts of the major teams showed impressive growth in followers.
What did that sentence say?
Excellent Era fell, and the Alliance was full.
