The moment that question was asked, the scene fell silent again.
Although this sounded quite unpleasant, everyone knew that this kind of extreme situation could really happen.
What's more, it might happen in the near future.
There were not many people in IOI's local server to begin with. After this last torment, the number of people continued to plummet. Could they still support the entire server?
A large number of players would further exacerbate the collapse of the matching mechanism and ranking mechanism. It would be difficult for players to be matched with opponents of similar strength. Their gaming experience would become worse and worse, and it would naturally cause a chain reaction.
Once the number of players decreased, the number of people watching the competition would naturally decrease.
The commercial value of the entire league would also decrease if the popularity decreased.
At that time, all the major capitals would no longer be optimistic about the ICL league. The various clubs would no longer be able to see any benefits from the IOI branch teams. Would the entire ICL league continue then?
A senior executive of Finger Games said, "If such a situation really happens, we can only transfer the players' data through integration and merge it with the newly opened Southeast Asian server or Korean server to form the Asian server. We can cancel the ICL league and merge the teams of the ICL league with other nearby competition zones to maintain the commercial value of the league."
Another executive frowned and said, "However, this is equivalent to shutting down the server. It will cause further losses of players. After all, most people are not willing to play with players who do not speak their own language, nor do they want to go through the trouble of data migration."
Chrétien sighed. "There's nothing we can do about it. We've already suffered a crushing defeat in the market of China. No matter what we do now, we have to choose a relatively decent ending."
Jin Yong understood this situation too well.
This was just like many games. In the later stages, the players in the server would naturally lose players. It was a wrong choice regardless of whether they were in the same server or not.
If they were not convinced, many players would say that the entire server ecosystem had become rigid. There was no competition, and it was meaningless to play. They wanted to give up more and more.
The merging of the servers would cause resentment among the players who only wanted to idle away their days. They had been ranked quite high in the old server, but they were bullied in the new server. They felt like they had become weak chickens once again, and they might immediately leave the server.
What's more, the integration would be done in a grand manner. It would indeed be exciting for a period of time after the integration, but it would quickly enter a rigid state due to the loss of players.
Thus, players would clamor for the integration to continue. The integration would cause another batch of players to lose, and they would fall into a vicious cycle.
In other words, once it was consumed, it would be impossible to stop. In fact, it was like drinking poison to quench one's thirst.
IOI's local server was in a similar situation now. No matter what they did, there would be a loss of players. Changing the way they handled it was just another way of losing players.
But if it really came to that, they had no choice but to accept it because the most basic gaming experience for the players might not be guaranteed.
Chrétien looked at Jin Yong. "You haven't said anything since just now. What do you think we should do?"
Jin Yong could not help but shrink his neck.
Don't ask me, how would I know!
Given the current situation, unless Boss Pei came personally, even the gods would not be able to save them!
However, everyone looked over. Jin Yong could not hide anymore. He could only bite the bullet and answer, "I think FV's new champion's skin can be made faster and better …"
He didn't dare to discuss such a big matter as the uniform. He had no right to express his opinion here.
In the end, the upper echelons of Finger Games would have to discuss with the upper echelons of Dayak Corporation before they could make a final decision.
Therefore, Jin Yong could only talk about such unimportant things.
In any case, I've already spoken at the meeting. Please give me less of the blame, thank you.
However, Chrétien's eyes lit up as he praised, "Eh? That's a very important point. We neglected it previously! "
"FV Team's champion skin this time should indeed be new. It has to be obviously different from last year's. No matter what, this is definitely useful to retain players and FV Team's fans. It's also a relatively easy and risk-free measure. "
Everyone present nodded their heads and had no opinion on this.
The upper echelons of Dayak Corporation would definitely support them with both hands if they could earn a wave of money from IOI's local server.
At that time, it would be easy to make the skin look better. It would also show that Finger Games respected and valued the championship that FV Team had worked so hard to obtain.
Chrétien said to Jin Yong, "You can communicate with FV Team about the champion skin. Try your best to satisfy all their requests."
There would still be some language and cultural barriers if he were to let the skin designer of Finger Games communicate directly. Thus, Chrétien wanted Jin Yong to be the middleman to promote the production of the champion skin. He wanted to ensure that the members of FV Team were satisfied as much as possible.
Jin Yong nodded. "Alright, I'll immediately start pushing this matter when I get back!"
…
At the same time, the members of FV Team were shopping in the biggest shopping mall in the area, happily enjoying their victory.
FV Team's boss, Wu Yue, and captain, Pan Ying, were a little tired from shopping. They found a coffee shop and prepared to sit down and rest for a while.
"Did you see the topic online? What do you think? "Wu Yue asked.
The team members were still very excited after the competition even though it was very bumpy. All of them held their cell phones and scrolled for a long time. They must have seen the trending topics.
Pan Ying thought for a moment. "Is it about transferring to GOG? I think everyone has good intentions, but it's still a little too idealistic. "
"The five of us have always been playing IOI. We have to start from scratch if we switch to GOG. We're already at this age. I'm afraid we won't even be able to play in the A-League. We might as well retire."
"What's more, FV Team has won two IOI world championships no matter what. Isn't it a little hard to say about switching to GOG?"
"Boss Pei's original intention for buying FV Team was to let us enter IOI. Would Boss Pei agree if we switched to GOG?"
Wu Yue said, "I called Boss Pei to ask. Boss Pei said that he would respect the team members' decision. It doesn't matter to Boss Pei whether FV Team continues to stay on IOI's side. "
"Boss Pei is very open-minded in this regard. Don't worry."
Pan Ying still shook his head. "We should take our time to think about this. Finger Games might not be human, but we still have some feelings for IOI. We can't make up our mind for the time being."
Wu Yue nodded. "Yes, there's no rush. We can take our time to think about this."
"By the way, have you thought about the theme for this year's champion skin?"
Pan Ying shook his head. "I haven't thought about it."
"The heroes that I've used are all heroes that I don't like. What's more, they all look strange. There's really nothing much to choose from."
The strong heroes in this version were all the unique heroes of some European and American teams. As everyone knew, the games created by European and American companies would have some strange characters, but European and American players especially liked them.
Thus, FV Team had pinched their noses and trained for a long time to win the championship this time. They had been training since the group stages and had not chosen the heroes they liked at all.
That was because they had never thought that they would definitely win the championship. They did not dare to slack off in every match. Thus, the heroes that they chose were basically not very fond of.
Naturally, they were not interested in making champion skins for heroes that they did not like. They could only choose a general from a dwarf.
Wu Yue thought for a moment. "Sigh, I suddenly thought of an idea."
"Can you make the champion skins of these heroes into the ones that you like the most?"
Pan Ying was stunned. "Huh? Nesting dolls? Can that work? "
Wu Yue said, "Bring it up to the official platform. It's their business whether they agree or not. What's more, this is completely within the rules. Why can't we do it? "
Pan Ying did not expect such a solution. For a moment, he did not understand.
What Wu Yue meant was that they could make these heroes that they did not like look like their intrinsic heroes. Wouldn't that be much more pleasing to the eye?
As for what it looked like, that was up to the skin designer of Finger Games. He had to believe in the professionalism of Finger Games.
Pan Ying pondered for a moment and said, "It seems … that's also a solution. I'll talk to the other team members later. If they agree, we can give it a try. "
"For example, we can add some hero elements that we like to the skins of these heroes, such as weapons, styles, characteristics, and so on. It should be quite interesting."
Pan Ying thought for a moment and suddenly felt that this method was quite interesting. He imagined the scene and thought that it would be more interesting. Thus, he agreed to this plan.
…
At the same time, it was already night in China.
Pei Qian opened the TV side of Alice Island's website on the television. As he waited for 'Successor' to be broadcasted, he scrolled through the discussions about 'Successor' on his cell phone.
The good news was that even though the international competition between GOG and IOI had ended, everyone's enthusiasm for the discussion was still very high. It would still occupy the entire internet for a period of time.
There were also a large number of UP Masters doing video analysis and summarizing the international competition on Alice Island's website. Whether it was a professional analysis or a joke, they were basically in a state of celebration. Below many videos in the gaming area that were slightly related, there were also comments related to GOG's international competition.
To Pei Qian, this was a blessing in disguise. After all, the more popular the competition was, the less popular 'Successor' would be. It played a very good role in sharing the burden.
As for everyone's discussion of 'Successor', there was no new content. Obviously, everyone was waiting for the premiere on Alice Island's website.
There were actually many posts that did not know the truth and were looking forward to it.
Pei Qian smiled slightly. Everyone, continue to look forward to it. In any case, after these three episodes were broadcasted, most of the audience would run away.
