Thriller Paradise

In the early morning of November 16th, with the abdication of the gods, the semi-final stage of S2 for the tournament for the best of the best was over.

The referee did not expect that the late semi-final match … The anticipated finale of the duel … Would end in such a way.

Only the captain Shi long, who was Shiva, knew the reason why team one of gods had forfeited. Even his four teammates did not know the reason.

Speaking of which … The four of them had no other choice. They had a contract with gods, so they naturally had to obey the studio’s arrangements. Shi long was the captain of the team and the boss of the studio. Since he had said that he would forfeit … His teammates could only follow his instructions.

On the other hand, regulation was also quite shocked by the situation.

The management was undoubtedly surprised, but the team members were suspicious. Zui Sheng Meng Si and the other three were old acquaintances with the Four Heavenly Kings of gods. It was because of this that they were even more surprised by the abdication.

However, they were unable to contact Shiva himself for the time being, because fifteen minutes after the news was announced, gods studio’s official website and customer service system exploded …

Shiva himself quickly logged into the game and refused all interviews. He didn’t even answer questions from the company.

That night, he simply said a few words to the General Manager of the studio and then went home with his wife.

After that … Feng bujue came to meet him uninvited to discuss some things.

As for what they talked about, I won’t go into it for now …

Let’s move on to the next day …

At twoo’ clock in the afternoon the next day, Shi long, as the boss of gods, held a press conference regarding the “withdrawal incident …”

He took out a speech and read it out. He gave a rather strange but irrefutable reason,”I was unable to play last night due to physical reasons. With the unanimous consent of my teammates, the whole team has forfeited.”

To be honest, this story … No one believed it.

However, there was no use in not believing him … In any case, if Shi long said it was a “physical problem,” then it was a physical problem. As for the specific physical reasons, sorry … That was a personal privacy.

He wanted to get something out of his teammates … But it was also a waste of time. [Vishnu],[Brahma], and [Yama] had been friends with Shi long for many years, and they would not speak carelessly whether it was for public or private reasons. There was also [Asura]… He was Shi Long’s younger cousin, so it was even more impossible for him to say anything unnecessary.

Since these people were all speaking the same thing, there was no way to break through …

At the end of the day, this was a forfeit, not cheating. Don’t tell me you won’t allow others to feel uncomfortable? Couldn’t boss Shi’s uncle be here?

All in all, Shi long had managed to explain his forfeit.

p Of course, even though he had been fooled, the reporters wouldn’t take it all … Everyone thought that there must be a big story behind the gods ‘withdrawal this time, and the impact of the incident would at least continue to ferment for a while.

As a result, as soon as the press conference ended, irresponsible rumors such as “fear of battle,””peripheral gambling,””shady deals” and so on began to brew in the minds of all the unscrupulous media people …

However, these people’s articles were basically not produced in the end, because …𝒐𝑣𝐞𝔩xt.𝓒𝓞𝐦

At 4 pm on November 16th, not long after the press conference of gods, dream Inc. Quietly released an announcement on their official website that shocked the media.

“This S2 finals of the tournament is only for in-game players.”

What kind of concept was this? According to the announcement … It was not that the finals would not be broadcasted to the public, but rather … There was not even a “video” of the finals.

To be more specific, only ‘players’ who entered the game through the game cabin in ‘sleep mode’ and created their characters before midnight on November 16th, 2055 could watch the game. Those who don’t meet the above conditions will be unable to connect to the game during the finals or be forced to disconnect. As for the other live streaming platforms … They would all be shut down. Moreover, the video of the final would not be played after the event.

From a businessman’s point of view, dream Inc.’S actions were no different from madness …

First of all, with the current attention S2 was getting, just the advertising revenue before the finals alone was a business deal that exceeded 100 million. But … They didn’t do a live broadcast.

Secondly, if they didn’t broadcast it live, then so be it. This way, they could use the recording of the game to make a fortune. However, they actually said that they wouldn’t even keep a video recording …

In addition, it was even more unreasonable to shut out the audience other than the existing players.

If the first announcement didn’t add the restriction of “creating a character before November 16th, 2055”, it could be understood as a marketing campaign … To put it bluntly, it was to force people to play your game (the game cabin was not a problem, you could use it in the internet cafe if you didn’t want to buy it). However, dream Inc. Had set a time limit, so even if you created a character in the game right after seeing the announcement, it would be useless …

This method would definitely make those who were interested in the game but had not fallen into the trap very dissatisfied …

In summary, dream Inc.’S decision was truly baffling. Other than losing a large amount of money and potential players, there was basically nothing worth seeing.

However … If he thought about it carefully, no matter what their motives were, their actions had already been foreshadowed …

Before the preliminaries had even ended, when dream Inc. First auctioned off their “broadcast rights”, they had already prepared for this step. Therefore, their broadcast rights were all sold in stages.

That way, when it came to the finals, they could suddenly announce that the broadcasting rights for this stage were not for sale.

In addition, under the big news above, there was another announcement that had nothing to do with the majority of players.

[Description of the unreleased prizes in the preliminaries.]

There were only two “unreleased prizes for the preliminaries” mentioned in the announcement. One was a “limited edition T-shirt”, and the other was the ” 48 hours of experience with the new version”.

The other prizes in the preliminaries, including game coins, experience points, equipment, and so on, had already been given out long before the semi-finals began. Only the two items above had not been given out.

This time, the officials had clearly stated the time and form of distribution: First, the T-shirt will be sent out today, free shipping.”Two, the limited time experience function will be activated within a week after the finals.

Then … What’s the date of the final?

The third announcement was [the S2 finals of the tournament of the peaks will be held at midnight on November 19th.] (To be continued.) “If you like this work, you’re welcome to come to Qidian.com to give your recommendation and monthly vote.
