For the vast majority of China's local players, the European server was a deserted place.
To repeat the same old story, let's take the European LCS league as an example. Compared to the Chinese LPL, the Korean OGN, or the North American LCS division, the European professional league always gave people a rather dull and boring feeling.
Every match could be played until the late stages.
There was almost nothing exciting to watch in the early and middle stages.
They had been developing peacefully for thirty years, and the teams that fought against each other were as polite as neighbors. Even the jungler only cared about his own jungle and focused on developing. It was as if he had no interest in the three lanes of gank.
In the end, everyone was full of equipment. After some discussion, it was time for a team fight, right?
Sure.
Let's do a team fight.
Once the team battle was over, the match would belong to whoever won.
This style and rhythm of the league simply confused the professional players and ordinary players from other major divisions in the world. They could not understand it at all.
What the f * ck … Where was the passion and passion that eSports should have?
It seemed that the style of the European LCS league had also affected the daily matchmaking and ranking of ordinary players in the European server.
Usually, when ordinary European players played matchmaking and ranked, they played the same way as the European professional players.
It was really boring.
Therefore, in contrast, if the vast majority of China's local players wanted to play in a foreign server, they would flock to the Korean or Taiwanese servers. They would also go to the recently opened Japanese server to beat up and bully the small Japanese —
But anyway, the European server would always be the last choice.
It was only after the Nightingale Dark Battle in April and May that more and more ordinary players started to shift their attention to the European server when the newly promoted mysterious Four Emperors, J, shocked the entire League of Legends gaming circle with a single brilliant feat.
This place where even birds don't shit …
It turned out that there were still some crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
The Four Emperors of eSports had a total of four people. Originally, the European server only had one god-tier wizard, Phoenix. Now, there was the addition of the Four Emperors top laner, J, and the MLG team's seven king-tier mid laner, Spoon, had been getting better and better recently. He seemed to have the strength to challenge the Four Emperors …
With a rough calculation, there seemed to be three of the Four Emperors in the European server!
That was truly impressive.
Therefore, under such circumstances, more local players began to pay attention to the European League again. They also began to search for OB live streams or high-end Challenger of Honor videos on the European server with interest and curiosity.
…
Luo Ying was a commentator who specialized in European King's Bureau OB videos.
She had entered the video commentator circle a year ago. As she was studying in London, England, when she first came into contact with League of Legends, she played on the European server. Later on, she had the idea to make her own video commentator. Her first choice was to record the high-end matches of the Champions of the European server.
In the beginning, Luo Ying had made a lot of calculations. She felt that most of the gaming videos in the country were from the local server or the Korean server, but there were very few people who made videos for the European server.
This was equivalent to a new market that was basically blank.
If she could make the OB video on the European server successful, her future would be bright!
However, Luo Ying, who was full of ambition, encountered a setback right from the start.
This was because she realized that the commentary videos on the European server's high-end matches, which she had painstakingly made, received a rather mediocre response after they were uploaded to major gaming video websites. The video with the best results only had 50,000 views.
The average number of views only fluctuated between 10,000 and 20,000.
This kind of return was really depressing.
After this situation lasted for half a year, Luo Ying began to try to get in touch with the live streaming platform. She opened her own live streaming room on DouYu TV and tried to do an OB live streaming of the European server's high-end matches.
Because she was also a beauty, she looked very photogenic after a simple makeup. Therefore, the popularity of her live streaming room was quite good. The number of viewers for each live streaming was maintained at around 5,000.
For a new girl who had just come into contact with live streaming, such results were already very good.
However, Luo Ying herself still felt very dissatisfied.
She had higher expectations for herself.
The popularity that her live streaming room attracted could slightly help her commentary videos get some views, but it still could not cause a qualitative change.
Usually, every day when she returned to her rented apartment after school in London, she would repeatedly study and ponder why her live streaming and commentary videos could not increase in popularity. What was the reason?
In the end, Luo Ying came to a conclusion —
First, the players and netizens of the local server were not very interested in the European server. They were far less enthusiastic about the OB of high-end matches on the Taiwan server or the Korean server.
Second, in places like the Korean server, Taiwan server, or the American server, there were more figures of the local gods. Doing such OB live streaming could also give the local players a sense of immersion. In contrast, in the European server, she could at most get OB material from European professional players, which itself was not attractive enough.
These two problems were not something that a newbie streamer like her could solve.
In such a situation, some veteran commentators and senior streamers in the circle had also kindly analyzed and advised Luo Ying. They suggested that she should open a solo live stream and rely on her good looks to achieve results quickly. There was no need to waste her time in a place like the European server.
However, Luo Ying still stubbornly did not want to give up.
"Let me try again."
"I always feel that this blank space on the European server can be done!"
A while ago, after the end of Nightingale's secret battle, the appearance of the mysterious Four Emperors powerhouse J. This slightly improved the situation.
More local players began to pay attention to the European server. This also increased the popularity of Luo Ying's live streaming room and the number of views on her commentary videos. This further stimulated Luo Ying's passion and fighting spirit.
At this time, the only thing she was still looking forward to was another thing — —
That alone was not enough.
If one or two of the top gods of the local server could come to the European server to fight their way up the rankings, fight their way into the King's Group, or even attack the European server's King's Group ranking list, she would be able to collect such video material …
Her career would definitely explode in an instant!
The hope of this kind of thing was a little slim, but Luo Ying always maintained an optimistic attitude.
Because it was not impossible.
Just like in the Korean server, wasn't there a mysterious local god called "cn hook2" who appeared out of nowhere and made an earth-shattering kill in the Korean server's King's Group ranking list?
As long as she waited patiently, there would definitely be a chance in the European server!
With such hope and expectation, Sakura began to search for the summoner information and battle records of the European server's Masters and Greatest Kings with enthusiasm and enthusiasm every day. She was even more proactive.
Then, she found an ID called "cn 006".
A somewhat unfamiliar ID name appeared in the last list of the European server's King's Group ranking list.
Luo Ying was surprised and curious.
Because looking at the prefix of the ID name, this was definitely a local player.
But she had never seen this name before when she was recording material on the European server. It should be a new account that had just been added to the King's Group in the past two days.
So who could this cn 006 be?
A passerby god of the local server?
Or could it even be a sockpuppet account of a professional player in the local server?
No matter what, the moment Luo Ying saw this ID name, she suddenly perked up.
She vaguely felt that …
Perhaps the appearance of this cn 006 would be an opportunity for her to achieve her career goal!
