Recently, Qiao Liang's schedule had been rather casual. Every morning, he would wake up naturally and wake up around 10 AM. He would watch videos while eating breakfast. After eating, he would digest his food and play games for a while. After eating lunch, he would be sleepy on time and sleep until 3 PM. After basking in the sun on the sofa, it was dinner time before he could do anything. After dinner, the GPL competition was about to begin.
It couldn't be helped. Most of the time, two to three hours would pass unknowingly while scrolling through his phone, watching short videos, and reading forums. It was hard to control his dirty hands.
Even though Qiao Liang was well aware of this situation, he still had to use his cell phone. Not everyone could resist fragmented entertainment so firmly.
"Hmm? Bunny Tail Live-Stream was going to have a competition at 3 PM? The ten old DGE members are going to gather again? "
"Is this an event to regain popularity?"
Qiao Liang had not used Bunny Tail Live-Stream for a while. That was because he had to hang up for an hour. He could not be bothered to hang up every day.
Qiao Liang was also very dissatisfied with this' mandatory one hour 'rule. He complained in his fan group many times. He even wanted to talk to Boss Pei and ask him to cancel this completely unreasonable rule. However, on further thought, he decided against it.
If it was about the game, Qiao Liang felt that he had a little say. However, how the live-stream platform wanted to manage it was entirely Tengda's own business. If Qiao Liang were to say it, he would be suspected of overstepping his boundaries. That would not be very good.
What's more, Qiao Liang felt that Bunny Tail Live-Stream was not Tengda Corporation's core business in the first place. Since they had to mess around, so be it. In any case, they would definitely change back after hitting a wall for a long time.
Thus, Qiao Liang had not used Bunny Tail Live-Stream for a period of time after that. After the netizens were tired of scolding him, the popularity online gradually decreased.
However, this event had obviously made Bunny Tail Live-Stream the focus of netizens' discussion.
Qiao Liang scanned the gamers' comments. Most of them were still scolding him.
"From 3 to 5 PM, there will be a competition between the ten old DGE players on Bunny Tail Live-Stream. The promotional picture has already been released. You can pay attention to it!"
"Don't tell me someone is using Bunny Tail Live-Stream? It can't be, right? "
"You can endure being forced to stay offline for an hour every day? He's a ruthless person. "
"Is Bunny Tail Live-Stream crazy? Do they have too much money to burn? The popularity was good before, but the one-hour rule caused the popularity of the website to cool down. Now, they're using the members of DGE to boost their popularity. What a moron! "
"That's right. The team members still have to train daily. They can't maintain their condition and strength by arranging such a special entertainment competition. The team members were forced to operate on account of Boss Pei. Bunny Tail Live-Stream, you guys should know your place! Stop tormenting these team members! "
"Everyone, don't go and watch. Don't increase their popularity! After a period of time, no one will read it, and its popularity will die down. Then, naturally, it will be stopped! "
Although there were some fans who were looking forward to the competition, there were more negative comments overall.
He had no choice. Bunny Tail Live-Stream had offended the passers-by quite badly.
The scolding had almost disappeared during this period of time. Once the competition was publicized, the passers-by recalled the idiotic rules of Bunny Tail Live-Stream. What's more, this event had the intention of letting the DGE team members clean up after them. There were even more people scolding.
"This year's audience is really strict."
Qiao Liang might be very dissatisfied with this rule of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, but his reaction was not as intense as the others.
He was a freelancer after all. It was very easy for him to hang his cell phone for an hour. He just had to hang his cell phone by the side while playing games.
It would have been fine if it was any other event. Qiao Liang would not have to hang up for an hour. However, DGE's team members had not played together for several months. It might be a gimmick, but Qiao Liang still wanted to watch it.
Thus, Qiao Liang opened the Bunny Tail Live-Stream app that he had not logged into for a long time. He turned on the focus mode and obediently hung up for an hour, preparing to watch the competition at 3 PM.
After entering the focus mode, a countdown and a picture of a cartoon character sitting in meditation appeared on the page. There were also two lines of words.
"The reason why geniuses in people's eyes are outstanding is not because they are more talented than others, but because they have put in continuous hard work. Ten thousand hours of training is a necessary condition for anyone to go from ordinary to world-class master. "
"You will need at least five years to become an expert in a field by working eight hours a day. You will also be able to achieve something in this field in thirty years if you take an extra hour a day to study a profession outside of your job."
Qiao Liang could not help but feel emotional. "This function might be quite retarded but this sentence still makes sense."
The first paragraph was actually the so-called 'ten-thousand-hour law'.
There might be differences in talent and the amount of effort needed to succeed could not be generalized but the 'ten-thousand-hour law' still had its merits.
That was because no matter how talented a person was, they could not do without accumulating hard work over a long period of time. Even the geniuses in history were no exception.
The second paragraph was more like an extension of the 'ten-thousand-hour law'. In fact, most people could become professionals in a certain field within five years as long as they did their job well. As long as the work could be accumulated and improved and was not repetitive, they could become professionals in a certain field within five years.
In theory, if one could take an hour out of work to study other fields every day, one would be able to gain something as long as they did not work blindly but systematically understand and learn some knowledge.
Since he could not use his cell phone anymore, Qiao Liang could only turn on his computer and do something serious.
He had always wanted to take some time to make a chronicle of domestically-produced games and sort out the development of domestically-produced games. It could also be considered as accumulating some material for his future videos.
However, this matter had been dragged on for several months. Every time, he would not be able to persevere after two or three lines. He would play with his cell phone silently.
This time, Qiao Liang could not help but want to play with his cell phone. However, when he saw the 'focus mode' page on his cell phone screen, Qiao Liang retracted his hand that wanted to commit a crime and continued to work seriously.
An hour passed quickly.
Qiao Liang realized that he was still a little unsatisfied. He continued working for another half an hour before saving his work results and preparing to rest.
"This focus mode seems to be quite useful. If I can resist playing with my cell phone, I can actually spend a lot more time every day …"
Qiao Liang was already satisfied even though he had only worked for more than an hour. He opened the live-stream of the DGE team's competition on Bunny Tail Live-Stream without any guilt.
At that moment, Qiao Liang realized that the title of the live-stream that was originally hidden had already been revealed: "Bunny Tail Cup BP Verification Competition"!
"BP Verification Competition? What kind of competition is this? "
Qiao Liang was stunned. Previously, he had thought that this was just an ordinary entertainment competition or a fanbase competition. The ten members of DGE would go up and play some ultimate heroes to satisfy the audience. However, from the looks of it, the situation was not as simple as he had thought!
This time, the competition directly used the ICL league's live-stream platform on Bunny Tail Live-Stream. Thus, the director, commentator, and other teams were ready-made.
The two commentators were already introducing the rules of the competition in advance.
"As the name implies, the 'BP Verification Competition' is to let the two top teams test the strength of some BP lineups to prove whether it's the coach's BP or the players' problem."
"Today is the first match of the BP Verification Competition. We have carefully chosen a classic match from last week's GPL. The blue team is an early-stage poke lineup that has almost no team formation. It is also a lineup that many viewers have angrily denounced as the 'Underworld BP'. Today, the two teams will use this lineup to fight each other once. We will use the 'control variable method' to verify whether this BP is the 'Underworld BP'."
"If the 'Underworld BP' side loses both matches, it can prove that it's a problem with the BP. If the 'Underworld BP' side wins, it can prove that it's a problem with the strength and tactical arrangements of the players."
"If it's one win and one loss, we can also analyze the two matches to determine how many BP the two sides have. Whether the fault tolerance of this' Underworld BP 'is high or low, stable or unstable …"
"After that, we will vote in the BP Verification Competition live-stream of Bunny Tail Live-Stream. The audience will choose the most 'Underworld' BP lineup. The lineup with the most votes will be the lineup that we will verify next …"
While the two commentators introduced the rules of the competition, the live-stream also showed the specific lineup of the competition.
The rules of the BP Verification Competition were that the ten heroes and their respective positions could not be changed. Apart from that, there were no restrictions on the specific talent configuration, gameplay, and equipment of the heroes.
Qiao Liang had watched this competition last week and still remembered it vividly. At that time, the blue team's coach had chosen an early-stage poke lineup. All of them only had two unstable control skills, and there was no strict front row. In the end, the first-level team did not deal with it well. They gave away a head and two groups of wild monsters and were directly flattened by the other party.
What's more, on paper, the blue team was obviously stronger.
Thus, after this match, the blue team's coach was completely criticized. This lineup was also jokingly called the "five to protect one coach" lineup, and it was not protected.
This time, DGE Team One would create this "Underworld BP" lineup first. DGE Team Two would obtain the opponent's lineup and fight one match. Then, the lineup would be swapped and they would fight another match.
Of course, since the original commander of DGE Team Two, Old Zhou, had already retired to become a coach, the current DGE Club's small support who had performed very well would make up for it. This ensured that the two teams were relatively close on paper.
What's more, the two teams had been pulled together at the last minute. They had not gone through any running-in beforehand. They relied entirely on tacit understanding and could basically be considered a fair match.
Qiao Liang perked up after hearing the rules.
This "BP Verification Competition" felt very interesting!
If it was a fanbase competition or an entertainment competition, it would indeed be meaningless. There would be no tactics, and the professional players would not necessarily play seriously. There would not be much to watch.
However, this BP Verification Competition was completely based on the actual competition. Both sides would definitely work hard to win. It could maximize the intensity and excitement of the competition.
Most importantly, this competition could finally solve a series of unsolved mysteries to a certain extent:
Did they lose the competition because the BP was not good enough or because the players were not good enough?
Should the coach or the players be the scapegoat?
The bullet screen coach kept saying "brainless BP". In terms of understanding the game, was it "the eyes of the masses are bright" or "the truth is often in the hands of the few"?
Qiao Liang suddenly became interested because he wanted to know the answer as well!
