The mysterious random player Silent that caused a lot of discussion on the forums wasn't online today.
While many players were glad that they didn't get killed, the streamers who were waiting to OB had a hard time.
Over the past two days, as the topic of Silent continued to grow, there were quite a few streamers that OB him on various platforms. The most popular streamer had over a hundred thousand viewers.
It wasn't surprising though. Although Kaiser was good at playing, he was only playing against evenly matched opponents. Although he was very skilled, the players didn't like it.
As for Silent, he was randomly playing against random opponents. Although he wasn't playing at a high level, he was still killing players with three thousand points. It was quite entertaining to watch.
Most of the audience liked to see noobs being killed, it was for the sake of drama.
Well, that wasn't quite right. Most of the audience liked to watch players being killed, but they didn't like to watch players with low points. The audience also knew that it wasn't possible to kill someone with three thousand points, it would be best to watch someone with three thousand points.
This was because players with three thousand points were already considered experts. Their understanding of the game and mechanics were both good, it would be more entertaining to watch someone like that.
It was a long and boring day for the players who were waiting in front of their computers to watch Silent play.
…
At night.
After a day of negotiation, Meteorite Technology's international distributor finally accepted all of Chen Mo's requests, obtaining the rights to publish Warcraft overseas.
There wasn't a lot of fooling around, Chen Mo only meant one thing: take it or leave it.
In the end, Meteorite Technology's international distributor almost exploded, but could only give in.
It couldn't be helped, Warcraft's quality was too high, Chen Mo had the right to be unreasonable.
Signing the contract.
Any changes to Warcraft's functionality must be approved by Chen Mo. Chen Mo also had the right to ask about Warcraft's international marketing strategy and localization. Chen Mo would get seventy percent of the international revenue (net revenue after deducting marketing costs).
For Meteorite Technology, this was the most humiliating and darkest day in its history. Signing this agency agreement could be said to be a humiliation to the country.
Normally, the publisher would take the majority of the profits, and a fifty-fifty split would be considered a good game. But they only got thirty percent of the profits from Warcraft?
The person in charge of Meteorite Technology had mixed feelings. He felt that this incident would either be a stain on his life or a highlight of his life.
After signing the agreement, the person in charge went back to prepare for the overseas distribution.
As for Chen Mo, he turned on his computer to prepare for the qualifiers.
If he won a few more rounds today, he should be able to meet those first-rate players with around 3800 points.
…
"Hmm? The Ultimate Tentacle Monster is online! "
"That random race Silent? Quick, he seems to be queuing up. Quick, watch the battle! "
The streamers who were watching this account immediately realized it and exited the game to watch Silent's match.
One round.
Two rounds.
Three rounds.
It was still the same familiar formula, the same familiar flavor, random race, fancy massacre, the opponent basically felt disgusted within 10 minutes, didn't want to play after 20 minutes, and GG after 30 minutes.
The spectating streamers were also praising Silent, mainly because the viewers loved it. Since they were all OB streamers, the more they liked to watch, the more popular the stream would be.
The streamers were basically praising Silent as the only true god in Warcraft. They also used Silent's APM data and rumors to explain it over and over again.
Of course, there were also people who doubted this. They thought that Silent was just bullying noobs, and that he was just doing it to look good, to show off his skill, but it didn't prove that he was better than the other pros.
The chat was filled with people fighting every day. Some said that Silent was only good at bullying noobs, and had insane hand speed, but didn't have any special tactics. Others felt that Silent's hand speed alone was insane, and that he could beat the other pros with normal play.
Even before he became famous, the audience was already divided into two groups, the "S fans" and the "S haters". They were engaged in a fierce battle.
"Quick, another round has started!"
"Wow, that's a very f * cking ID, latewind? Isn't that Nightwind guru's alt account? "
"Yeah, but Nightwind guru's alt account has 3400 points, how did they meet?"
"My goodness, Silent's already at 3492 points! That's a complete win! It's like he's riding a rocket! "
"There's going to be a good show, quick!"
A few of the OB streamers and the audience were interested. This time, it was not some Tom, Dick, or Harry. It was a genuine Almighty!
Nightwind, a pro player in the RTS scene. He had 3704 points on his main account, and was in the top ten online. He was an Orc, and was a player that focused on mechanics.
Right now, the Beastmen and Humans had the most experts, followed by the Elves and the Undead.
Nightwind's main account was 3704 points, and it wasn't easy for him to find an opponent. At this level, there were only a few familiar faces, so it was better to just challenge him.
Therefore, he would occasionally play with his alt account, and unknowingly, his alt account had reached 3400 points, which was when he met Silent.
"Huh, isn't that the tentacle monster that's been trending lately?"
"Alright, I'm sorry for bumping into him, I'll have to teach you a lesson."
"I'll let you know that a 3500 point game isn't that easy."
Nightwind knew this Silent, and obviously didn't believe that he was as bad as the rumors said, so he wanted to teach him a lesson.
Of course, Nightwind wasn't blindly confident. He had the skill, and he played steadily.
This was a four player map, with two players spawning at the top left and bottom right corners. Silent was still a random race, and got Terran.
The chat was filled with discussions.
"Not bad, he got Terran. I feel like this is a good match."
"Yeah, luckily he didn't get Undead or Elves."
"Let's see how Silent is going to play, I feel like it's hard to say for Terran."
Most players were still trying to figure things out, and many felt that Orcs were the strongest race, followed by Terran, and Undead.
Many were worried that Silent would get Undead or Elves, and if he lost, wouldn't that be a pain in the ass?
At the start, both sides played the same strategy, with Blademaster and Terran as Mage.
It didn't take long for Silent's Farmer to find the Orcs, and happily bought a Farm in front of the Orc's door, before the Blademaster chased after him.
Silent had used this strategy quite a few times, as Farms were very cheap. If he bought one in front of the Orcs' door, it would take a lot of effort for the Orcs to take it down, and if he didn't take it down, the Farm would give the Terran vision.
This trick had been learned by many humans, and it was actually quite useful.
The Mage and Blademaster both leveled up, and since they were further away, there wasn't much conflict. It wasn't until after they had two or three groups of monsters that the Mage encountered three Orc infantry.
The Terran didn't hesitate, and started hammering the Orc infantry. But the Blademaster wasn't far away, and chased after the Mage while in stealth.
The Mage's body was quite fragile, and he ran as he fought.
"Hmm? This Orc's mechanics aren't bad. " Chen Mo also noticed that the Orc's actual skill was higher than 3400 points, as could be seen from some of the details.
