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."
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.)
