Hao Yun didn't expect that he would be dubbed the "Human Emperor" by some meddlesome players after just playing a few games.
Log in to the creative workshop and click on any post, and you will see someone discussing their performance in the qualifiers, or regretting that they did not have the chance to participate in the offline group stage.
This incident even alarmed the officials.
On the third day after the top 100 list came out, he received an official email from the email address he used to register his creative workshop ID.
The wording of the email was very sincere. It first expressed regret that he missed the offline group stage, and then sent an invitation to him, asking if he was willing to go to Jiangcheng to be a special guest of the first Battle Cry Cup and serve as the game commentary team. a member of.
To be honest, he had no regrets about not being able to participate in the offline group stage.
If he really wanted to participate in the offline competition, he wouldn't wait until the last two days to play the qualifiers.
However, Hao Yun is still a little interested in the proposal of joining the game commentary team.
After all, it is the world’s first e-sports competition.
As the designer of this world of Warcraft, the rule maker, and the founder of this competition, it seems quite fun to be able to participate in the process of the competition as a non-player.
As a result, Hao Yun replied to this official email, saying that he would go to the competition venue at that time.
As for the appearance fee of 20,000 yuan, it is unnecessary.
Anyway, I don’t lack that little money when it comes to picking my left pocket out of my right pocket.
At the same time, Yunmeng Building is in the office area of Yunmeng Games.
Du Ziteng stood up excitedly and said while opening the reply message on his computer.
"Mr. Li, hao12345 has replied to us!"
After hearing this, Li Zongzheng said quickly.
"How did he respond?"
Du Ziteng said quickly.
"He accepted our invitation and said that he lives here in Jiangcheng and will go to the stadium when the competition starts!"
"He's in Jiangcheng?" Li Zongzheng looked at him in surprise and continued, "But his personal information is not from Jiangcheng."
Du Ziteng coughed slightly and said.
"Isn't that stuff filled in casually? We don't have a location for users, so don't be so upright."
Li Zongzheng looked a little embarrassed, changed the topic forcibly, and continued.
"Then... ok. By the way, send me another email to see if we can let him come to the competition site a day in advance. We can also talk to him about the precautions for the competition and rehearse twice."
Du Ziteng nodded and said.
"Okay, I'll send an email to ask him soon!"
Many players had previously felt sorry for hao12345, complaining about problems with the promotion rules of the Post-War Cup.
Inviting hao12345 to join the commentary team for the offline group stage is, on the one hand, out of public relations considerations to appease those players who have a strong desire to complain. On the other hand, it is out of publicity considerations.
Now in the entire player circle, the most discussed person is not the Night God, nor the King of Beasts, but the great god hao12345 who has not seen the beginning or end of the dragon, and has brutally tortured the top 30 in the top 100 list, and ranks first in the God of War list.
Almost everyone is curious about the identity of this big boss.
It is no exaggeration to say that if he was willing to start a live broadcast, there would be millions of viewers in the live broadcast room even if he said little.
If he plans to show his face, even players who are not interested in the game will not be able to help but join in the fun and watch.
Let’s see what this player who was dubbed the “Human Emperor” looks like
After handing over the task to Du Ziteng, Li Zongzheng called Hao Yun and reported the work arrangements for the Battle Cry Cup.
After listening carefully to Li Zongzheng's report, Hao Yun nodded and gave him an approval reply.
"Well done. The War Cry Cup is just the beginning for us. We will hold many more competitions like this in the future."
"By the way, Mr. Hao, I suddenly remembered something."
Hao Yun asked.
"What's up?"
Li Zongzheng smiled sheepishly and continued.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. I just wanted to ask you...if you are interested in being the commentator for the game?"
It's okay to be a game commentator.
By the way, haven’t you already replied to the email and expressed your willingness to participate
But just when he was thinking this, he suddenly reacted.
By the way...
It seems that I have not told anyone else at Yunmeng Games that the hao12345 who destroyed the balance of the game is myself.
Thinking of this, Hao Yun couldn't help but have a strange expression on his face.
"... Let's talk about this later."
He could hear the disinterest in the boss's tone. Although Li Zongzheng felt a little regretful, he did not force himself and nodded.
"That's okay, although I think if you participate, the show will definitely be very effective."
Regarding this statement, Hao Yun shrugged his shoulders and gave a noncommittal answer.
"Maybe."
Although the boss is not interested, luckily hao12345 is.
After that, Du Ziteng sent another email to the digital master, hoping that he could go to Jiangcheng Stadium to participate in the rehearsal the day before the game.
But this time, hao12345 was not so easy to talk to, and politely declined in his reply.
Originally, the commentary of this kind of live game tested the ability to perform on the spot. Rehearsing and speaking the lines beforehand was completely meaningless, but it was not very meaningful after all.
After reading hao12345's reply, Li Zongzheng was still a little worried, but thinking that the other party could come to participate was already a great honor, and he couldn't say anything more, so he stopped forcing it.
Time passes day by day, and the start of the group stage is getting closer and closer. Not only the Warcraft project department, but also the entire Yunmeng Games are busy because of this upcoming competition.
From the first day of July, Yunmeng Games rented the Jiangcheng Stadium and began a series of preparations including the layout of the competition venue.
100 boxes of Aka Niu energy drinks were moved into the arena for players to drink.
As the self-operated brand of Yunmeng Group, the trademark of Red Bull Energy Drink almost stands on the C position of the advertising space in the entire stadium, just barely putting the advertisement directly into the eyes of users.
In addition, there are computer peripherals.
After Lin Jun achieved success with the Bull Group, he followed the same pattern and contacted an electronic equipment foundry to produce a batch of limited edition keyboards and mice of the "War Cry Series".
Although these flashy peripherals do not deliberately pursue ergonomic design, they are good enough to look at.
Humans are visual creatures.
As long as it appears in the camera and catches the audience's attention for the first time, it can be considered a success.
Offline preparations are in full swing, and online promotion has not fallen behind.
In order to let more players pay attention to this game, Yunmeng Games also specially commissioned the company that produced a CG promotional video for Warcraft last time to produce a CG short film for this Warcry Cup.
Although it lasts only 30 seconds, the cool rhythm and exciting BGM are quite heart-stirring. People can't help but follow the rhythm of the film and feel the excitement.
In addition to the promotional video, there is also a promotional poster for the competition.
In the C position of the poster, there are the top 10 players on the top 100 list.
Among them are well-known uploaders with tens of millions of fans, and there are also some transparent ones in the circle.
For these players, Yunmeng Games has given equal exposure.
However, what is surprising is that the person who interests the players the most is not the players standing in the C position, nor the anchors or ups with their own traffic, but the one with the face painted on the lower right side of the poster. Question mark man.
Although his identity cannot be identified by his appearance, his game ID is written on the right side of his portrait.
That man is none other than hao12345—
That is, the "Human Emperor" in the mouth of countless players!
