On the day of PlayerUnknown's Battleground's livestream.
Magic City.
The livestream competition this time had reached an unusually high level of attention after the previous warm-up. A large number of viewers flooded into the livestream rooms of major live streaming platforms, and the cumulative number of viewers was close to ten million!
This level of popularity was even close to that of LoL's domestic league.
Of course, PlayerUnknown's Battleground's promotion was still in its early stages, and it could not garner as much attention as LoL. However, based on the number of viewers, this livestream competition was enough to be regarded as the center of attention.
The screen in the livestream room was still the waiting interface, which had a countdown to the start of the competition, the name of the competition, the list of participating teams, and the detailed competition schedule.
The competition this time was held on Saturday and Sunday, with three matches in the afternoon each day. After all the matches were played, the first, second, and third place would be determined based on the number of chicken dinners, kills, and ranking points of each team.
There were a total of 25 teams, and a total of 100 players.
The competition had not yet started, but the audience was already in a heated discussion.
"Hurry up and start, I can't wait! Why are they still dawdling! "
"Look at Old P's team list, Hymi is in it?! Hymi is his teammate too? "
"This jademp is also in Old P's team?"
"Hmm? Isn't that the name of the artificial intelligence? "
"No, it's a livestream with the same name. He's also a little popular recently, and it's nice to watch him bully noobs."
"Why is there an ID in Boss Qian's team that I've never seen before? This Mud is a passerby on the domestic server, but this Hason, I don't think I've seen him on the ranking before? "
"Is this ID a tribute to the European Sniper God? It's a knockoff. "
"I don't know, maybe he's a friend in real life."
"Boss Qian said before the competition that he wanted to be the champion!"
"Champion? Did he ask my Guru? "
"Hmph, forming a team with a cheat-like livestream, he's degrading himself!"
The competition had not yet started, but the fans of the various livestreams were already starting to get excited.
Needless to say, there were definitely diehard fans and anti-fans among them. Anyway, as long as there was a competition, there would be all sorts of changes.
The countdown on the screen reached zero, and after a promotional video of the competition, the competition officially began!
"Welcome to the live broadcast of PlayerUnknown's Battleground Competition. I am your host, Zhang Yang, and the person sitting next to me is the popular streamer, Lin Xue!"
"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Xue."
After Zhang Yang and Lin Xue greeted the audience, another wave of bullet screen comments flooded the livestream.
Zhang Yang was now a contracted host and commentator for Yan Huang, while Lin Xue was specially invited by the organizers to boost her popularity. The appearance of the two of them aroused the enthusiasm of the gamers.
As a live streamer, Lin Xue could participate in the competition. However, she wasn't confident in her own abilities and didn't want to drag the team down. Therefore, she settled for the next best thing and became a special guest.
"Alright, what everyone is looking at now is the venue for this competition. The contestants are already adjusting their machines and getting ready to go. Please allow me to introduce the organizers of this competition. They are Thunderbolt Entertainment, Blazing Emperor Esports, Fish-Catching Live-Stream Platform … "
Zhang Yang was seriously introducing the various organizations that organized the competition, and the camera was now panning over the entire stadium, first giving a distant view, and then sweeping past the participating teams one by one.
There were a total of 100 VR gaming pods in the huge venue. Each group consisted of four pods for a total of 25 teams.
There was a wide screen in front of each team's gaming pod that displayed the team's name, points, and current ranking.
Apart from that, there was a slightly smaller screen in front of each player's gaming pod that displayed the player's name, game ID, and some personal information such as the number of kills in the previous round, the cumulative number of kills, and so on.
Since there were no audience seats, there was no need to spend so much money on a large screen in the venue. There was only a slightly smaller screen for the two commentators.
Zhang Yang and Lin Xue were chatting awkwardly while waiting for the competition to begin while the equipment was still being adjusted.
The VR gaming pods in the venue were all brand new high-end versions. There were no external sockets in the gaming pods. Before and after the competition, the staff would check the gaming pods to ensure the fairness of the competition.
Presumably, no live streamer would dare to cheat in such an important competition. That would be a joke to their broadcasting career.
Zhang Yang looked at the list in his hands and said, "A lot of players should be very concerned about the composition of the participating teams. I've been keeping everyone in suspense for a long time, but now I can finally say it.
"The big screen now shows the detailed list of the 25 teams. What's worth mentioning is that Old P's team consists of three live streamers and one foreign player. This foreign player is the former live streamer Hemi that everyone is very familiar with. You can say that it's very unexpected.
"On the other side, there's a player in Director Qian's team that we have to emphasize. He's not a live streamer, he's a professional gamer, and a foreign one at that!
"He's from Europe, Hason, the 'Sniper God'! He hasn't officially switched to PlayerUnknown's Battleground, but his marksmanship and skills are definitely not to be underestimated. I think the addition of the Sniper God will make this competition even more exciting and exciting! "
At that moment, the camera cut to Hason. He was a skinny Caucasian man with short blonde hair. He smiled at the camera before entering the gaming pod.
The camera flashed by, but the bullet screen in the live stream exploded instantly!
“hason？ F * ck, he's not a knockoff, but the real deal?? "
"Is he really Europe's Sniper God? F * ck, how did Director Qian find him as a foreign player? "
"What the f * ck, this is cheating! Letting Europe's top professional gamer compete with a domestic live streamer. Where's Qian's face? "
"Hehe, the rules don't restrict you from finding foreigners. Director Qian hired the foreign player based on his own ability. If you're not convinced, go ahead and hire him too!"
The bullet screen exploded in an instant. It was mainly because many people did not expect such a trick to happen.
Although the standard of the FPS professional teams in China was not bad, on the whole, they were not as good as Europe and America.
Europe and America had always been stronger in FPS games. There was some foundation and talent involved in this.
In fact, Hason did not participate in this competition on purpose. Otherwise, he might not even be able to get his visa in such a tight time frame.
In fact, Hason happened to be on vacation in China recently. After Director Qian found out about the live stream competition, he naturally contacted him through some personal connections and invited him.
