Chapter 80 Live broadcast room with over million people online
"This boy"
The staff in charge of the official account was also in Su Xing's live broadcast room. He couldn't help laughing when he heard that he asked the audience in the live broadcast room to report the list.
In fact, this was also a temporary idea.
Firstly, the people who played the training match with Su Xing tonight are all anchors with no negative reputation. Secondly, the official also realized that the popularity of the Old Man Cup is even higher than that of the MSI game, so they also made some corresponding changes.
The second most important reason is,
After Su Xing and his team selected these retro lineups, the official noticed that the number of online players began to soar. It was bad enough that people had to queue up in popular areas like Area 1, but even some suburbs had to queue up.
You have to know that this is not 2014 but 2024. The number of League of Legends players has long since dropped sharply. Even in servers like Ionia, there will only be queues for login at specific times.
For example, this situation occurred after the LPL teams won the championship in S8, S9, and S11. However, now without any activities or other bonuses, all major servers are unexpectedly full.
Moreover, the official discovered a very interesting phenomenon from the background data, that is, many of the accounts that suddenly became overcrowded were accounts that had not been active for several years.
This means that Su Xing's live broadcast tonight has actually caused a large number of old players who have long since quit the game to return. Even if these people just want to come up and play a few games on a whim, it is an extremely rare phenomenon for the official.
"Did the higher-ups ask me to send another treasure map to Su Xing?"
The staff member took a look at the work group message on his mobile phone. When he was thinking about sending a gift, the smile on his face gradually froze the next second.
[The system detected that the account's behavior has violated the Huya live broadcast platform community regulations, and the account will be blocked for ten years. ]
"."
The moment he saw the ban information appear, he felt like cursing. The host told you to click report and you reported it. And Huya wants to overthrow Tiangang, right? Should others’ accounts be banned if they report him?
In desperation, he could only pick up the phone and start contacting Huya’s staff. It wasn’t a big deal, as one phone call could get someone’s account unblocked. It was just... a bit embarrassing.
"Send it again?"
The soldier lines in the game have begun to refresh.
But at this moment Su Xing felt that his game screen started to drop frames again, and at the same time, a prompt popped up that the League of Legends official was sending him another gift.
"Official brother, please don't send me off."
Su Xing was somewhat helpless and explained, "There are too many people in the live broadcast room. When you send a gift, hundreds of thousands of comments appear at the same time. My computer can't handle it. If someone who doesn't know sees this, they might think the host is downloading something in the background."
"Ah, the computer won't work?"
Uzi mentioned it and said, "I'll push Frog's WeChat to ask him to buy you a top-notch computer."
"Okay, find a frog."
AJ grinned and said, "With a configuration of thirty thousand, he can only make twenty-eight thousand from you at most."
“There are too many people.”
Su Xing was a little distressed. The configuration Gao Wen arranged for him was definitely not bad, but there were too many people in the live broadcast room tonight. Normally, he could lock 240 frames stably when broadcasting LOL.
Now it's only 150 and occasionally drops to 120 and then back to 130. This kind of frame rate change may be a bit uncomfortable for ordinary players, but for retired professional players like them, frequent frame drops are the most uncomfortable.
However, at this moment, the next second, the live broadcast room sent another reminder about sending a treasure map. The ID was called Tiger Tooth Frog and it was accompanied by a sentence.
"Master Gou has spoken, so I'll arrange it right away and send it for free!"
wake:.
It's over, the frame rate is jumping again.
I have to say that Qingwa is indeed a business-minded person. A treasure map costs 5,000 yuan, and a computer configured for a professional player would be more than enough to spend 50,000 or 60,000 yuan.
With just this little money, you can place an advertisement in a live broadcast room with more than one million online viewers. No matter how you calculate it, you will not lose money.
At the same time, the staff of Huya were also working overtime to maintain the server. Even though they had been prepared, they did not expect that the traffic that Su Xing would attract would be so huge.
And in the conference room, the originally bustling crowd was reduced to only five people, one was Guo Hao from TES, one was Lan Lianhua from JDG, one was Zuo Wu from LNG, one was Hou Lin, the manager of BLG, and one was Ai Xiao, the manager of AL.
The five people were not idle. Instead, they watched Su Xing's live broadcast and constantly lobbying the financial backers behind them on WeChat to come up with more funds to support them in convincing Su Xing to return to the game.
And just now, the LPL official also upgraded some preferential conditions again. As long as Su Xing can be signed and allowed to return to the game, the league will cooperate and make more concessions.
There is no other way. The traffic that Su Xing brings is too terrifying. Just by selecting some retro and nostalgic heroes in the live broadcast, a large number of players who have quit the game can log in again. Once they are persuaded to return to the game, the popularity of the summer game will be secured.
Both the LPL officials and the managers of the major teams know that this situation cannot be replicated. This is a rare opportunity. Whoever can seize this opportunity can enjoy the huge benefits behind it.
"I said, you two teams have mid laners, why are you joining in the fun?"
Guo Hao put down his phone with a confident look on his face. He looked at the manager of BLG and the manager of LNG next to him. He remembered that he had some friction with these two teams and joked, "Can your club still afford to buy Su Xing with its salary?"
"There's no rule that a team can only have one mid laner, right?"
Zuo Wu said calmly: "You can't say that Belle Group has more money than Li Ning Group. If you can afford it, then we can, too, right?"
"really."
The manager of BLG also seconded the suggestion.
"Stop pretending. You can't sign it."
Lan Lianhua said calmly, "Let's not talk about the money first. The players on both of your teams have already hit the salary cap. I'm afraid that even if you can sign Su Xing, you won't have the money to pay the luxury tax to the league, right?"
Each team has a salary cap standard. Once the combined salaries of the team's players exceed this standard, they will need to pay an additional luxury tax.
Currently, BLG has two players with the highest salaries in LPL, top and mid, and the other three players in jungle, support and AD are not cheap either. In addition, the coach’s salary has almost reached the salary cap standard.
Not to mention LNG, whose mid laner is a world champion and whose AD is an MSI champion. These are all players signed with high salaries. Even the jungler was signed with a huge sum of money in the spring season, but all added together still does not exceed the standard to reach the salary cap.
In this case, if they want to sign Su Xing again, they will have to pay a luxury tax, and it is not a small number. According to the LPL rules, the luxury tax multiplier is .
For example, if these two teams spend 1500 million to sign Su Xing while exceeding the salary cap standard, they will need to pay an additional million in luxury tax.
And judging from this trend, 30 million may not be enough to sign Su Xing.
"You're talking as if you don't have to pay?"
Zuo Wu sneered and said, "Only AL's side is better, you two are not much better." "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have to pay."
Guo Hao spread his hands and said with a smile: "Yu Wenbo's contract follows the procedures of Belle Group. What does it have to do with the Topsports team?"
Zuo Wu:.
Oops, forgot about that.
The fact that Yu Wenbo's salary can go through Belle Group is actually a bug in LPL, but the problem is that the official has no way to deal with it so they can only turn a blind eye.
Moreover, according to Topsports' habit, the contract to sign Su Xing will definitely go directly through the Belle Group's process, which means that even if Su Xing is signed at a high price, they do not have to pay a penny of luxury tax.
"Yes, he can also go through JD Group's process."
Lan Lianhua commented sharply: "But can you LNG follow Li Ning's process? You must have lost a lot of money when you terminated the contract with Tazan last year. Don't Li Ning's top management care?"
"By the way, BLG is about the same."
Guo Hao also started to cooperate with Lan Lianhua and said, "I heard that Bilibili is going to cut even the live broadcast contract. Is Ping An Bank preparing to withdraw its investment? Can you really afford to sign Su Xing?"
Everyone:.
Okay, okay, everyone in the entire LPL knows that your two clubs are of the same mind. It's disgusting that you are singing the same tune, right?
"You can argue, but don't fight."
Gao Wen, who was working overtime, also raised her head and said something to add fuel to the fire, "Otherwise, you guys have nothing to do but wait for Su Xing to come back. I'll go home after get off work and lie in bed to watch Su Xing's live broadcast."
Time passed by minute by minute.
Su Xing originally thought that the number of people in the live broadcast room should be a temporary peak value, but he didn't expect that the number of people would increase as the broadcast went on. By the time he and Zzitai played the third game, the number of people online had soared to 240 million!
The key point is that even at around eight or nine o'clock, the peak value did not drop but continued to rise. The simultaneous appearance of tens of thousands of barrages in one minute made Su Xing feel like his computer was showing a slide show.
"No, I can't continue playing it. My computer is overheated."
Su Xing looked down at the console. He thought that he could go to the kitchen and find an egg to put on top and bake it for a while, and it should be cooked.
"Ah, you're not going to fight anymore?"
Uzi was a little surprised, but then he understood Su Xing's situation and said, "Then get off first. I guess you'll be busy tonight."
The manager of the club is blocking the door of Huya waiting for Su Xing. This matter cannot be concealed at all. Now some marketing accounts on Weibo have begun to make up all kinds of news.
"Tomorrow."
Su Xing smiled and said, "It will be much better if you get a new computer tomorrow."
I'll go to Huya later and see if I can get a better computer. I'm sure Gao Wen won't mind.
"OK, let's talk about it tomorrow."
Just like that, Su Xing exited YY, and after taking a look at the online audience in his live broadcast room, he sighed slightly.
He also didn't expect that one day his live broadcast audience would exceed one million. No, now there are million online. With a live broadcast room of this size, he should be able to earn 10 or 20 million a night by learning how to sell goods, right?
"Well, good night, everyone. My computer is lagging and I can't play it. I have to download it first and try again tomorrow."
Su Xing said calmly: "I can understand why everyone comes here because of my reputation, but how should I put it? Thank you all for coming to Huya to watch my live broadcast today. There is no need for you to spend money to give me gifts or something. Well, that's it. Good night, everyone."
Although Su Xing had a lot to say at this moment, he thought about it and decided to give up. Everyone was just here to join in the fun, and maybe they would disperse tomorrow.
"No, the anchor is going to end the broadcast now?"
"Fuck, there are over 2 million people online in the live broadcast room and they just give it away. Brother, at a time like this, you can get 1-2 million gifts just by asking for them. So you just give it away?"
"Indeed, some of it is incomprehensible, but it can be seen that the anchor has a bottom line. This must be praised."
"I saw a marketing account on Weibo saying that the anchor is going to negotiate a contract with a professional team to make a comeback? Is it true or false? Is there any expert in the live broadcast room who can explain it."
"It must be fake. With live broadcasts like this, anchors can easily earn tens of millions a year. If they go to Douyin to learn how to sell products, wouldn't it be easy to earn one or two small goals?"
"Don't be so mean. If the anchor wants to make money, he can just ask for it. Why bother?"
"It's true. My uncle works for Tencent Esports. Just now during dinner, he said that the higher-ups have issued an order for all major clubs to try their best to persuade Su Xing to return to the game."
"My dog knows the dog guarding the gate at Huya, and it also said that Guo Hao is staying at Huya and waiting for Su to wake up. Do you believe me or the marketing account?"
"Uh, well, is there a possibility that Guo Hao is really here right now? A Huya employee has already revealed on Weibo that Guo Hao, Lan Lianhua, and Zuo Wu are all in the conference room."
"What?! Guo Hao really went, this is a sure thing, everyone knows that Hao from TES has a lot of money."
"Don't be so mean, that's not because of money, it's just that there is a gold mine under the TES club, and Guo Hao goes to dig when he runs out of money, so they can sign so many people every season."
"It's true. If the anchor goes to TES, then everyone here will have the opportunity to see the birth of the strongest all-Chinese team in history."
"Um. The strongest means having your head shaved by G2? Where did you put BLG?"
"BLG, don't try to take advantage of us. You are the strongest all-Chinese team I have ever heard of. If you can't even beat the peak RNG, don't try to take advantage of TES. Do you understand the value of three world championships?"
"I suspect you are a traitor, but I have no evidence."
After Su Xing went off the air, he didn't notice that there were still a large number of people arguing in his live broadcast room. At this time, he had already changed his clothes and was ready to take a taxi to where Huya Company was located.
Gao Wen said she wanted to send someone to pick him up but Su Xing declined, saying that taking a taxi was not that troublesome.
“It’s so convenient to take a taxi now”
Not long after, Su Xing arrived downstairs of Huya's branch in Haicheng. He looked up and saw that the lights upstairs were still on. He felt that it was not easy to do anything now. It was already past ten o'clock and no one in the building had left work yet.
