Listening to Su Xue's description, Lin Feng, Tang Bingyao, and An Xin couldn't help but frown.
Even though they'd heard about the competition between the various streaming platforms in China from Su Xue, they didn't expect the competition to be so fierce in the MSI Midseason Invitational Tournament.
In fact, for the sake of some interest-related competition, there were even live streaming platforms that would directly make such a barbaric and unreasonable move.
Tang Bingyao was worried.
"Then … Sis Xue, please don't get into a fight with people from other streaming platforms in the afternoon."
"If they're that barbaric, you'll have to be careful."
An Xin raised an eyebrow. "If they go too far, won't the organizers do something about it?"
Su Xue shook her head.
"It's not that simple."
"The people on those live streaming platforms are also wily old foxes. One is more slippery than the other, and one is more shrewd than the other. They play all kinds of tricks better than anyone else. Don't be fooled by their barbaric appearance. In fact, they have a good grasp of the situation."
"Look, when you're trying to snatch an interview, they just send a few tall and strong staff members to stop the people from the other platforms from going over. They won't really clash with you head-on. They're just blocking your way and threatening you in an invisible way. In such a situation, even if the organizers were to report it to them, they would immediately withdraw their staff members, and they would still be able to quibble with their arguments."
"They can't do anything to them."
Su Xue couldn't hide the helplessness in her voice.
Tang Bingyao grew even more furious.
"How can these streaming platforms be like this?!"
Lin Feng rubbed his nose. But in reality, he knew that there was something even more outrageous. Two months ago, he and Su Xue were chatting at home and had heard a piece of gossip from the broadcasting community.
Apparently, a certain streamer from a certain streaming platform wanted to jump ship. Coincidentally, another streaming platform came to poach him and offered him a new contract at a very high price. As a result, when the former streamer heard about it, a group of super administrators and staff rushed over to the streamer's house and tried to persuade him to stay.
Up to this point, things had been normal.
But later, although the old boss had been trying to persuade the streamer to stay and play the emotional card to try to change the other party's mind, at the same time, he was unwilling to offer a higher contract price. As a result, the streamer was finally attracted by the new platform's conditions.
Seeing this situation, a few super administrators and staff members of the old employer heard that the people from the new platform were coming over to have a further in-depth discussion with the streamer. Thus, they did something extremely barbaric and even somewhat frightening — —
Their boss directly called a group of migrant workers in Shanghai to come to the anchor's house and guard it.
When the people from the new platform arrived, a group of migrant workers blocked the entrance with an unfriendly attitude. They pushed and shoved rudely and forcefully drove away the managers and staff of the new platform.
They actually used this kind of method to forcibly prevent the host from having a chance to communicate and negotiate with the people on the new platform.
This is a real thing.
In the end, the streamer really did not succeed in job-hopping and chose to quietly move away.
When she told Lin Feng about this, Su Xue had a look of lingering fear on her face. She felt that the hidden gossip in the industry was simply too dangerous. Lin Feng, on the other hand, patted his chest confidently and swore that this kind of thing would never happen to them.
Who would have thought … …
This time, something similar really did happen.
… …
"In any case, just don't get into direct conflict with the people from the other streaming platforms," Lin Feng reminded Su Xue in a rare moment.
Then, as if thinking of something, he asked, "Oh right, Sister Xue, didn't I help you get in touch with Ol 'Shi and the others?
"By the way, Sister Xue, didn't I help you contact Old Shi and the others? It shouldn't be a problem to interview them, right?"
Su Xue nodded, then shook her head.
"Yes, 'Adis' even took the initiative to contact me this morning. Originally, it was agreed that our male streamer from DouYu would be responsible for the interview. However, it seems that after the competition ended, 'Adis' was retained by the organizers for a follow-up official interview, so we couldn't follow up on that."
She paused for a moment before adding, "Yeah.
Of course, the other streaming platforms didn't get to interview him either. "
Lin Feng nodded in relief.
"That's good. Old Shi's words are reliable. As long as there's time, he'll definitely be the first one to accept an interview."
"And there's also Fatty."
A smile appeared on Su Xue's face.
"Mhm. Let's hope everything goes well.
"With the two of them, my interview mission in the afternoon should be a lot smoother."
After exchanging a few more words, Su Xue bid Lin Feng and the others farewell. She hurried to the backstage to meet up with DouYu's staff. Before the match began, they still had to find an opportunity to interview some of the guests in the stadium.
Lin Feng, Tang Bingyao, and Anxin continued to sit in the front row, waiting for the tournament to begin.
1: 30 p.m.
The eSports arena was once again filled to the brim. The beautiful female host from earlier in the day took the stage to announce the start of the afternoon group matches.
The first match of the afternoon was between Group A's Team God and the wild card Thailand Giants.
When the members of Team God took the stage, the crowd erupted into thunderous cheers. Playing on their home turf naturally gave them an unparalleled advantage in popularity and support.
In the following match, the members of Team God lived up to the expectations and hopes of the thousands of local players in the audience. With a headcount of 16 to 5 and a financial lead of 10,000, they secured victory in the 27th minute of the match.
Team God took a point.
Following that, it was Group B, where the Taiwanese Assassin team and the European MLG team followed closely behind.
This match could be said to be the closest match between the two sides in the group stage so far.
On one side was Nian Thirteen, one of the Seven Kings.
On the other side was Spoon, who was also a Seven Kings mid laner.
Moreover, the two teams had fought against each other several times in various competitions in the past. Both sides were familiar with each other. Therefore, this match was quite a stalemate and intense.
Nian Thirteen chose his signature jungler, Blind Monk, from the purple team.
Spoon's mid laner, Yasuo, from the blue team.
Two Seven Kings, one jungler and the other midlaner, had displayed a breathtaking style in this match. They carried the tempo of the match, and neither was able to suppress the other's momentum.
Tang Bingyao's eyes sparkled.
"Nian Thirteen is so strong!"
An Xin smiled. "Yeah, he didn't get the title of the world's number one jungler for nothing."
Lin Feng nodded. "He's been in good form for the past two years."
But as he spoke, his gaze fell on Yasuo in the blue square on the LCD screen. He raised his eyebrows slightly.
"But —"
"MLG's Spoon has been even fiercer and more explosive recently."
The intense match finally came to an end at the 37th minute of the match.
MLG's team won by a hair's breadth.
They took advantage of the situation and destroyed the purple team's base crystal in one fell swoop.
They won.
Lin Feng's eyes twinkled.
"No wonder.
"I can't believe Legend lost the championship trophy to MLG in the Spring Tournament."
At the same time, when the second group match came to an end, the streamers and staff of the various live streaming platforms backstage began to get nervous.
"Camera! Camera! Get ready! "
"Both teams are coming down from the stage."
"Find a chance to interview them!"
"Damn it, we can't let the other platforms get ahead of us this afternoon!"
On DouYu's side, a super admin anxiously ordered. At the same time, he turned to Su Xue.
"Xue, are you okay?"
Su Xue, who had just finished touching up her makeup, took a deep breath and nodded.
"Leave it to me!"
