In the early morning of November 16th, with the abstention of the gods, the rematch stage of the peak battle s2 came to an end.
No one thought that the final semi-final match that was long overdue... that highly anticipated finale peak match... would end in this way.
As for the reason why the first team of the gods abstained, only the captain Shi Long, that is, [Shiva], knew it himself, and even his four teammates didn't understand the reason.
Speaking of it... those four have no choice, they have a contract with the gods, and they naturally have to obey the arrangement of the studio in terms of competition; Shi Long is both the captain of the team and the owner of the studio, since he said to abstain... The teammates can only execute.
On the other hand, Order was quite shocked by this situation.
The management is undoubtedly full of surprises, but the players are suspicious. The four of "Drunk Life, Dream and Death" and the "Four Heavenly Kings of the Gods" are old acquaintances, and it is precisely because of this... that they feel even more incredible about this abstention.
However, they were unable to contact Shiva himself for the time being, because within fifteen minutes after the news was announced, the official website and customer service system of Gods Studio exploded...
Shiva himself quickly logged out of the game, refused all interviews, and even refused to answer questions from within the company.
That night, he simply explained a few words to the general manager of the studio, and then took his wife home.
After that... Feng Bujue came to meet him uninvited and discussed some things.
What did they talk about in detail, I won’t show it here for the time being...
Let's move on to the next day...
At two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, Shi Long, as the boss of the gods, held a press conference on the "abstention incident"...
He took a speech, read it as it was, and gave a rather bizarre reason that was impossible to refute, "I was unable to play last night due to physical reasons. With the unanimous consent of my teammates, the whole team abstained. "
To be honest, this set of rhetoric... no one believes it.
But it's useless if you don't believe it... Anyway, Shi Long said it was "physical reasons". That's the physical reason. What is the specific physical reason, sorry... this is a personal **.
Wanting to ask something about his teammates... It's also useless to ask. [Vishnu], [Brahma] and [Yama] have been friends with Shi Long for many years, and it is impossible for them to talk nonsense in public or private; there is another [Asura]... yes Shi Long's cousin. Then it is even more impossible to say something.
These few parties have the same tone, so there is no breakthrough in this matter...
In the final analysis, this is abstention, not cheating. Don't you allow others to feel unwell? Boss Shi's uncle is here, okay
In short. Shi Long forcibly explained the abstention.
Of course, he's done fooling around, and the reporters won't accept everything... Everyone believes that there must be something behind the abstention of the gods this time, and the impact of the incident can at least continue to ferment for a while.
So, just after the press conference ended, irresponsible gossip such as "cowardice", "peripheral gambling", and "shady dealing" have been brewing in the minds of unscrupulous media people from all walks of life...
However, the articles of these people basically failed to be drafted in the end, because...
At four o'clock in the afternoon on November 16th, shortly after the press conference of the gods ended. Dream Company quietly posted an announcement on its official website that shocked the majority of media people.
[This peak battle s2 final is only for players in the game to watch.]
What kind of concept is this? According to the FAQ at the bottom of the announcement... this announcement does not mean that the final "will not be broadcast live", but... this final, there is not even a "video".
To be more specific, only the "players" who enter the Horror Paradise game in "sleep mode" through the game cabin, and must be players who created characters before midnight on November 16, 2055... can watch the game ; Those who do not meet the above conditions will not be able to connect to the game or be forcibly disconnected during the finals. As for other live streaming platforms...all will be shut down. Moreover, the video data of the finals will not be played afterwards.
From a businessman's point of view, Dream Company's approach is no different from going crazy...
First of all, in terms of the current social attention of "Peak Contest s2". Just the advertising revenue before the start of the finals is a business worth over 100 million yuan. But... they didn't broadcast live.
Secondly, don’t broadcast the live broadcast if it’s not a live broadcast, so that you can take out the game video and distribute it exclusively and make a fortune. However, they actually said that they would not even record the video...
in addition. Turning away viewers other than the existing players... makes no sense.
If the first announcement didn't add the restriction of "creating characters before November 16, 2055", it can still be understood as a marketing campaign... To put it bluntly, it is forcing people to play your game (the game cabin is not a problem , you can use it in Internet cafes without buying it). But Dream Company has limited the time, even if you immediately create a character in the game after seeing the announcement...
This kind of practice will definitely dissatisfy those who are interested in the game but have not yet entered the pit...
To sum up, Dream Company's decision is really inexplicable. There is little redemption to be seen, other than the loss of a lot of money and potential players.
But... if you think about it carefully, no matter what their motives are, their behavior has already been foreshadowed...
Before the preliminaries were over, when Dream Company first auctioned the "match broadcasting rights" to the outside world, they had already prepared for this step...so their broadcasting rights were all sold in stages.
In this way, when it comes to the finals, they can suddenly announce that the broadcast rights at this stage will not be sold like now.
In addition, under the above-mentioned heavy news, there is another announcement that has nothing to do with the vast majority of players
[Instructions on prizes that have not yet been distributed in the preliminaries.]
There are only two "prizes that have not yet been distributed in the preliminaries" mentioned in this announcement, one is a "limited edition t-shirt" and the other is the "48-hour new version experience qualification".
Other prizes in the preliminaries, including game currency, experience, equipment, etc., had already been in place before the start of the semi-finals, but the above two items were delayed.
And this time, the official has clearly given the time and form of distribution: first, the t-shirts will be sent out today, and we will send them free of charge; second, the limited-time experience function will be activated within a week after the finals.
So... the date of the final
The third announcement is just that [Peak Contest s2 final "Ragnarok" will be held at midnight on November 19th.](~^~)
