The second round of competition began soon.
No matter what Hao Yun said this time, no one would refute him.
Whether it is a live audience or a barrage in the official live broadcast room. Not to mention a refutation, there was not even the slightest objection, and it was almost as if what he said was an imperial edict.
After all, the person sitting here explaining to them is the top one on the God of War list. No identity is more convincing than this title. At least for the game Warcraft, he is the undisputed god!
The official commentator Li Feifei sitting next to him also had a 180-degree change in attitude from the beginning.
From the beginning, Hao Yun had to express doubts no matter what he said, but now he has completely become Mr. Hao's licking dog.
The most popular words changed from "I think" and "XXX has great advantages" at the beginning to "Mr. Hao is right" and "Mr. Hao, what do you think?"
If it weren't for the admiration in his eyes that couldn't be faked, Hao Yun would have almost begun to wonder if this guy was trying to blame himself...
The War Cry Cup has entered the fourth round of Round F, and the atmosphere is still in full swing, no less than the peak showdown between DK Blade and Night God in the first game.
The same is true in the live broadcast room!
The number of viewers has grown from an initial one million to three million, so much so that Yunmeng Game's technical staff had to urgently add two servers to cope with the sudden influx of traffic.
"It's almost impossible to see the game clearly when the barrage is turned on." Du Ziteng, sitting in the lounge behind the gymnasium, stared at the computer screen and said with surprise.
Liu Ye, who was sitting next to him, had the same surprised expression on his face and said in an unbelievable voice.
"I didn't expect there would be so many people."
"After all, the top one on the God of War list is Mr. Hao. This news is really exciting." Du Ziteng clicked the mouse with his index finger and continued with emotion, "Not to mention the audience, even us executives Unexpectedly…”
Before, he thought that hao12345 had tricked them, and the originally prepared marketing strategy was completely ruined. He was so anxious that he almost pulled his hair out.
As a result, now, not only did the person who originally missed the show appear at the scene, but the results were even better than he expected. While sighing in his heart, Du Ziteng couldn't help but admire him secretly.
"As expected of Mr. Hao..."
"This big chess game actually kept all of us in the dark!"
"Now it seems that he is not only talented in games and investments... he also knows marketing strategies. Is there anything in this world that he doesn't know?"
This is no longer a piece of cake.
It’s simply invincible, isn’t it
As the popularity of the competition continues to heat up, the people who are now paying attention to the War Cry Cup are not just the spectators at the competition site and live broadcast room, but also not just the players in the gaming circle.
As early as the words "War Cry Cup" appeared on the hot search lists of major social platforms, the game Warcraft has successfully broken out of the circle and attracted widespread attention from almost the entire Internet.
Just like whether you play basketball or not, you have more or less heard of the People's League. As the topic continues to grow in popularity, even people who rarely play games have heard about this competition with a championship prize said to be as high as five million.
Being able to attract so many eyeballs, it is almost impossible not to attract attention both inside and outside the industry.
Just as Du Ziteng, the director of Yunmeng Game Operations Department, was sighing with emotion, Xu Qianshi was taking over a research report from the marketing department from his subordinate in the CEO office of Rice Entertainment.
This research report does not focus on the products of DaMi Entertainment, but focuses on the recently popular Warcraft and Warcry Cup competitions.
Staring intently at the report in his hand, Xu Qianshi's face became more serious the more he looked at it, and his mood became even more complicated, as if he had mixed emotions.
A month ago, Warcraft was not even qualified to support the Seven Kingdoms in the eyes of the top management of Rice Entertainment. Whether it was the subject matter or the player base, no one from Yunmeng Games could compare with them in all the elements he could think of.
However, in just half a month, this fantasy-themed RTS game has become a term that will inevitably appear in the weekly meetings of DaMi Entertainment.
The emergence of this game not only reduced their expectations for the final sales of "Seven Kingdoms", but also shattered their ambition to make "Seven Kingdoms" an annual hegemony.
Now let alone annual hegemony, no one on the Internet is discussing the game Seven Kingdoms. In contrast, as long as they are fans of RTS games, regardless of whether they have played Warcraft in person or not, they will happily chat with people on social platforms. Some novel websites have even emerged with a lot of Warcraft backgrounds. fan fiction.
This trend has far exceeded Xu Qianshi's expectations, and also exceeded the expectations of all executives of Da Mi Entertainment. They never even imagined that a game could be so popular.
"The number of online viewers peaked at 4.07 million times... If this data is without water, it would be terrible." Putting down the report in his hand, Xu Qianshi pinched his temples and closed his eyes with a tired look.
Wu Jianhua, who was standing in front of his desk, also had a bitter expression on his face.
“The popularity of the Warcry Cup really exceeded my expectations... I originally thought that the most people watching the game would be Warcraft players, but I didn’t expect that now not only players are watching the game, but many people who have never played games also come to watch the fun. .”
Even if only one tenth of these cloud players are converted into real players, that is still a very scary statistic.
Because copyright protection laws are strictly enforced, in fact, this conversion rate is definitely not just one-tenth. Under optimistic circumstances, it can even reach one-third, or even one-half!
"At first I thought they were just taking advantage of their small circle to gain the upper hand in the popularity of the topic, but I didn't expect that guy was actually playing such a big game... I made a miscalculation."
After a pause, Xu Qianshi looked at Wu Jianhua and asked.
"Is it too late to hold a competition now?"
Wu Jianhua was stunned for a moment and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression.
"It's hard to say whether it's too late... but they have already taken up the majority of the traffic. Even if we give out 5 million as a bonus at this time, the effect will definitely not be better than theirs."
Xu Qianshi retorted.
"They can't stay popular forever."
Wu Jianhua was silent for a while, and finally told the truth.
"To be honest, this is not necessarily true."
Xu Qianshi looked at him and asked.
"How to say?"
Wu Jianhua paused and continued.
"I registered a creative workshop account before and went to their platform to learn more about it. If I had to make an evaluation, I can only describe it as genius... "
"If you are talking about making games, I know this without you having to tell me." Xu Qianshi turned the ballpoint pen in his hand and said expressionlessly.
"No, I'm not talking about games or World of Warcraft, but the Creative Workshop product alone. I have never seen any game platform that can design the community so perfectly... Some people discuss it, some people share it, and the most important thing is It seems to have a magical power that can awaken the creative desire in players. Under this mechanism, players are not only players, but also producers of content."
"Many maps or modules can even be used as an independent game when taken alone. This is equivalent to almost every content creator updating expansion packs for Warcraft for free."
Looking at Mr. Xu whose expression had turned into astonishment, Wu Jianhua sighed and continued with a somewhat helpless voice.
"The vitality of this game is almost unlimited..."
