High School Belle Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 594: Chapter 258: At the Very Least, You Should Change Into Some Nice Clothes (Part 2)

Previously, it was only the game players, and now even the tournament viewers have been taken away.

Which means, during this LOL World Championship period, if there was a PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds tournament, I can’t imagine how many viewers would have been lost in the finals.

Penguin Game has been closely monitoring the attention PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds tournaments receive.

On the first day of the Global Invitational Finals, they were shocked.

Mouyu’s streaming platform had set up three streaming rooms, the main room with nearly twenty million people, and the two side stages also attracted five to six million people.

Usually, Mouyu’s streaming platform barely has a few viewers.

Kuai Pai, Mouyu, and PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds complemented each other perfectly across the three projects.

Traffic from other streaming platforms was completely drained.

It’s easy to imagine what price the broadcast rights for next year’s PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds tournaments will sell for.

If the price is too low, other platforms might as well close down. Anyway, Mouyu has everything, even though they can’t broadcast LOL, they aren’t interested anyway.

Who cares, playing games can’t provide emotional value.

It’s better to head over to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.

Now, those LOL streamers who don’t occasionally broadcast PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds see their popularity drop rapidly.

Li Yang provides too much emotional value to esports fans.

Even many who aren’t interested in playing PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will watch Li Yang’s matches.

Li Yang has absorbed popularity directly from LOL, which bothers Penguin Game the most.

Yet there’s nothing they can do, even Li Yang’s former team couldn’t lock him down with a contract, and after winning the championship, Li Yang hasn’t signed any LOL endorsements, leaving no contractual clauses to find.

"Yang God, today the Koala Team scored a whopping 63 points, online fans think you should start researching next year’s opponents, are you confident in winning this championship?"

Li Yang said with a smile: "Humble, humble, winning isn’t our goal. We in the Koala Team have always aimed for a dominant victory because we’ve sacrificed more than any team for the championship. No one can stop us from winning; the only thing they can prevent is us from winning by too large a margin!"

This statement was quite boastful, almost insinuating a mid-game champagne celebration.

It’s only the first day, and there are five more days left.

Yet oddly, no one found anything wrong with that statement.

Everyone loves arrogance, but no one likes getting slapped in the face.

LPL was also boastful, but ended up embarrassed, getting trashed to the point of not recognizing their own mother, that kind of arrogance is foolish.

Who’s going to listen to you brag all day without showing any skill?

Li Yang is different; his arrogance brings joy to the fans because Li Yang delivers on his promises, never leaving fans’ emotional needs unmet.

On the second day of the competition, due to Li Yang’s bold remark, the Koala Team faced unprecedented focus, scoring only fifty-six points that day.

Whenever they fired their guns, nearby teams would abandon advancing into the circle and specifically block them. They didn’t earn any placement points that day, only elimination points.

Though they were still in first place, and the gap with second place widened, there was still a sense of backlash.

Many believed the next four days would see intensified targeting.

Sure enough, the Koala Team’s jump spot was directly targeted, in the first match of the third day, they eliminated one team upon landing, but only one member survived, and that wasn’t Li Yang.

Viewers in the streaming room were even hoping Li Yang would take over the opponent’s computer.

That day, the Koala Team only scored thirty-five points, narrowing the gap with the second place.

Online, some negative commentary began to emerge...

On the fourth day of the competition, the Koala Team changed their strategy, choosing a new location.

This time, they brought in Ning Hao.

Ning Hao’s tactics were exceptional, and Koala Team didn’t plan to engage in gunfight early on.

After the first blue circle refreshed, Ning Hao led the team straight into the interior, then engaged in battles with other teams.

Upon opening fire, two teams were quickly attracted to Koala Team’s location.

In this match, the four teammates fought until they ran out of ammunition, unable to find bullets in their area, ultimately eliminating the encircling teams.

In this match, Koala Team scored a whopping 26 kills, along with three placement points, totaling 29 points.

One match netted more points than most teams did in a day.

From then on, other teams stopped going crazy, realizing continuing this was only serving themselves on a platter, returning to regular gameplay.

First place was indeed hard to take, but second place also brought generous prize money.

That day, the Koala Team scored ninety points, demonstrating that even when targeted, they could rapidly adapt.

On the fifth and sixth days, the Koala Team consecutively scored the highest daily points, ultimately winning the Global Invitational Finals with a total of 404 points, while the second place scored only 236 points.

The other three PCL teams all received more than two hundred points, each finishing in the top eight.

Overall, PCL teams performed well, even though this kind of FPP game has always been a strength for the West, they played evenly this time.

Koala Team, or rather Li Yang, was simply off the charts.

A total of thirty matches, in twelve of them, they eliminated over ten players.

Though Koala Team didn’t win too many chicken dinners, their luck in the circles wasn’t great.

If their luck was a bit better, the point difference would have been even greater.

Li Yang delivered on his boasts, which naturally evolved into confidence.

With ten million US dollars in prize money in hand, after deducting 30% to the players’ association and some taxes, the Koala Club netted over five million US dollars, equivalent to thirty-six million yuan.
