Chapter 278: Champion skin exclusive to LPL! Intercontinental Tournament, SKT vs LPL entire region
This thought just flashed through my mind.
But Huya Platform, who has a keen sense of smell, has already reacted first.
Chen Yiqiu’s private messages started to ring out. Various LOL anchors in the Huya section and Huya officials all sent him messages.
Either privately or collaboratively.
In short, it just means one thing - take them for entertainment and play a few games.
In this regard, Chen Yiqiu was actually a little helpless.
This is also the most troublesome problem he encounters during live broadcasts.
The popularity of his live broadcast and his many fans mean that he will always be targeted by many people during his live broadcast.
These people either want to gain popularity or get other things, but they just want to play with him.
It was okay when Letme and Li Sang Hyuk were still there just now, but now that Chen Yiqiu is alone and seems to be going solo, the anchors who are secretly observing cannot sit still.
Chen Yiqiu couldn't offend them all, so in the end he only chose one female anchor and played two games in double queue with her.
Then announce the broadcast.
“It’s so popular that it also has troubles.”
Chen Yiqiu shook his head with emotion.
"I suspect you are filling the cup, and there is evidence."
Pei Junzhi, who was also preparing to take a rest next to him, smiled disdainfully and "exposed" Chen Yiqiu without hesitation.
“You are really stubborn, you really are not.”
Chen Yiqiu said with a serious face: “Anyway, you don’t understand even if I tell you, even one third of my popularity in a live broadcast room Players who don’t have it, don’t push me.”
Bae Junzhi: “?”
"You're looking for death, aren't you? Brother, I haven't practiced with you for a long time. You've swelled up."
"Don't come over here."
"I'm super, do you really want to practice?"
>
“…!”
There was a burst of laughter and slapstick in the SKT training room.
...
SKT’s champion skin will be released later than expected.
Originally, according to what was previously discussed with Riot Games, SKT’s champion skin would be launched within a week at most after the end of MSI.
But some technical accidents occurred on the way, so the time was postponed again.
It was not until the third week of the 2017 LCK Summer Split that Riot gave us good news.
——SKT’s S6 champion skin is finally going online.
"Come on, come on, get ready. Tonight's live broadcast is very important. How much sales can reach on the first day depends on your efforts."
Evening.
On the day when the live broadcast champion skin that cooperated with the Huya platform was released, the SKT club was already busy.
Chen Yiqiu and others were neatly dressed in their new team uniforms. Few people spoke to them at all. Everyone was experiencing their championship skin.
Among them, Chen Yiqiu's Jace's painting is very similar to the original painting that was decided in the original version, with almost no major changes.
The overall style is biased towards the Chinese ink style, with cool skills, and the special effects of each return to the city will carry the Reaper ID.
——Now it is completely imprinted with Reaper's mark, and it has become the shape of Reaper.
"Wow, he's really handsome..."
Little Peanut looked at him eagerly.
He didn't just look at Chen Yiqiu. Starting from Chen Yiqiu, he looked at the eyes and skin of Li Sang Hyuk, Bae Junzhi, Li Zaiwan, and even Bengi and Kkoma.
Walking around, little peanuts would chirp wherever they went.
I couldn’t hide the envy in my tone and eyes.
Champion skin.
The highest honor of the world championship, and it also represents a steady stream of money from now on. As long as someone buys the skin, they will get a share, don't be too happy.
It's a pity that although he is now SKT's starting jungler, he does not have a championship skin.
That’s why he is particularly envious of Blank’s skin.
Also...
Although he didn't want to think about it, seeing this scene, he couldn't help but think back to last year. If they could beat SKT back then, maybe he would have his own now. Champion skin.
"Wanghu, didn't you say that before long, you will be there too."
Li Zaiwan said with a smile: "The summer games have begun now, and the S7 global finals are not far away. When the time comes, brothers will help you get one."
"Actually, the championship skin is just like that. It’s so interesting.”
Pei Junzhi nodded beside him.
Little Peanut: "?"
Brother, why do you always say such mind-numbing things recently?
If those who didn’t win the championship listen to this, they’ll want to beat you to death!
“It’s started, it’s time, it’s time.”
When it was time for the skin promotion to start, everyone started the live broadcast one after another.
Chen Yiqiu’s live broadcast is as popular as ever, especially because the champion skin is officially launched today.
“Hello, everyone.”
Chen Yiqiu greeted the friends in the live broadcast room enthusiastically.
【Where is the champion skin! 】
【Is it available in the mall? 】
【Okay, okay. 】
【I am super, so handsome! 】
[Good boy, buy all the Chinese skins from me! 】
【Win! ! ! 】
This year Riot Games has made some improvements in the way it sells champion skins, because Chen Yiqiu is very popular in the LPL, and the LPL is a major skin consumer worldwide.
So Riot deliberately blocked the time, which is why everyone in SKT started broadcasting to promote it.
At this moment, as everyone in SKT started live broadcasting one by one, the LOL client also launched the S6 SKT version of the championship skin globally.
As soon as it went online, it was witnessed by the long-awaited audience and fans, and then they started buying it.
Leaving aside LCK and foreign countries, the number of people buying champion skins, especially Chen Yiqiu’s skins, in the LPL division is far beyond everyone’s imagination.
......
"Mr. Jin, five thousand sets have been sold in just one minute after going online..."
"Twenty thousand sets..."
"Reaper skin sells the most."
"...The client is a little stuck. What's going on? Tell the programmer quickly, how can the recharge system be stuck?"
Jin Yibo After hearing this news, the expression on his face was not happy.
He was both stunned and disappointed.
Although the more SKT’s championship skins are sold, the more Penguin Headquarters and Riot Games make.
But...their LPL won't get a cent!
This is not the championship won by the LPL division, but by the LCK.
He doesn't have such a big picture yet, and he has risen to the strategic perspective of the head office to see this matter.
He was just thinking, if Chen Yiqiu was from the LPL, how great would it be if the winner this time was a team from the LPL division.
Not to mention how much money you can make, just from the popularity this time, you can make a lot of money.
"...How are the preparations for the training team over at the Intercontinental Championship?"
Jin Yibo asked as he became increasingly determined to let LPL win a championship.
"It's almost done. All the clubs said it's no problem. They also want to give it a try, otherwise Reaper will never return to the LPL in his life." The executive nodded.
“He will never come back. This time it must not be the same as at MSI. The training team must be effective.”
Jin Yibo was categorical.
2017 League of Legends Intercontinental Asian Competition.
This is a new international event that Riot Games revealed last year.
The first one will be held this year, and the most anticipated one is undoubtedly the Asian Competition.
Because in Asia, it almost covers the three characteristics of the strongest, most popular, and most valuable teams.
The three divisions of LCK, LPL, and LMS will compete for the championship of this international competition with brand-new division units in this Asian competition.
Due to the failure of MSI not long ago, public opinion was turbulent, and LPL officials paid unprecedented attention to this Asian competition.
After the end of MSI, they continued the characteristics of the training team in the mid-season championship.
Every club is required to use all their cards and strength to help LPL win this championship.
Even if the team is not among the top four in the Spring Split (and does not have a quota to participate in the Asian Competition), it must send its strongest players to play training matches with the four qualified LPL teams, as well as 1V1 solo Sparring.
The specifications and treatment are even more exaggerated than those on MSI.
"There will be no problem this time!"
No matter whether they have confidence in their hearts or not, the executives are very decisive and have the aura of success or failure.
"Well, that's good."
After saying that, Jin Yibo paused and continued: "Then continue to promote... promote our championship skin that is exclusive to "us" the Chinese. , get me a collector’s edition too.”
"Huh?"
The executive was stunned.
"Ah, what, am I right?"
Jin Yibo spat extremely sensitively: "I just asked you, has Reaper changed his nationality? No, right?"
"He is Chinese, so his skin must be unique to Chinese people. Is there anything wrong with him?"
"...No problem, I'll go right away."
The executive was speechless for a moment.
Because Jin Yibo told the truth.
Perhaps it is for this reason that Chen Yiqiu’s Jace skin is selling so hot right now.
It’s just that Chen Yiqiu is really going to make money this time.
Once a little transparent person who was not well known in LPL, now he is the number one top orderer in history... LPL made a mistake of 100 million!
......
That night, LPL officials took the initiative to advertise "China's first set of world champion skins".
Unexpectedly, if you play with determination, the effect will be amazing.
Of course, public opinion is mixed.
For example, in Tieba, where the public opinion has always been very harsh, the LPL official's behavior was gloriously labeled as a "thief".
【The LPL officials really stole it. 】
【I am so happy to see it, such a champion skin exclusively for the Chinese, now LPL is winning. 】
【Don’t laugh, it’s really a win. I don’t have to waste a single soldier in LPL. I haven’t even made it to the top eight in the S competition in recent years. I can still get the championship skin. I wonder if you accept it. Bar? 】
【I wonder if it can be calculated like this, then if our region really wins the championship in the future, will every Korean player have to be counted in the LCK? 】
[Stop dreaming, LPL can’t win the championship. 】
【It’s really not necessarily true. I think the official has really spent a lot of money this year, and with the blessing of the Bird’s Nest, for the last time, Chen Shenghui will take action! 】
【Forget it about making fun of people in normal times, no one really thinks that Chen Chu cares about LPL, right? 】
[S game aside, let’s look at the rules. There is a real chance in this intercontinental game. The four teams in the division, Tian Ji Horse Racing, are not playing as one team. If the tactics are good, they may really win the championship. 】
【……】
The topic gradually got sidetracked. The first intercontinental competition was a brand new international series of events, so the popularity and attention were very explosive.
This is also the new topic that has attracted the most attention around the world recently.
SKT’s championship skin will be released at the end of June, and in early July, the 2017 Asia Championship will officially begin.
In this Asian competition, the top four teams in this year’s spring split will be selected to participate.
The participating teams in the LCK are SKT, KT, SSG, and MVP.
The LPL ones are WE, RNG, EDG, and OMG.
Almost all star teams, one more team than the S game, can be expected to have explosive effects.
In this way, time passed and it came to July 2nd.
Major competition regions around the world have already entered the offseason ahead of schedule, and major media forums are discussing the upcoming intercontinental competition every day.
The South American competition and the European and American competition will officially start tomorrow.
And everyone from SKT also landed in Wanwan Kaohsiung on this day.
This is the venue for this Asian Championship. Due to work reasons, SKT is actually the last team to arrive.
Before this, the four participating teams of the LPL and the other three teams of the LCK had already landed in Kaohsiung in advance.
“We only have four days to prepare, including today’s situation, so everyone should brace themselves and not capsize in the gutter.”
After arriving at the hotel, Kkoma immediately became nervous Arrange training tasks.
When everyone in SKT heard this, they felt the urge to vomit blood.
The reason why they arrived late was not to rest, but to work, shoot various commercials, participate in variety shows, etc. What's even more perverted is that in this case, their training tasks have never been heard of.
That is to say, after work every day, I have to stay up late to train. Xiaohuahua has fallen asleep while sitting in the chair playing training matches several times.
Now that we have just landed, Kkoma’s words simply make everyone feel chilled.
"It doesn't matter, everyone still has a few hours of rest. The training room needs to simply install and debug the computer equipment."
Lee Sang Hyuk stepped in to calm everyone's mood.
This is a hotel after all. SKT has just arrived. Even though the officials have helped set up the computers and venue before, the specific details still need to be handled by their coaching staff and staff.
Taking advantage of this period, everyone can take a short breath of relief.
"By the way, have you seen our schedule? Who will we play in the opening game on the 6th?"
The first two days of the Asian Competition are the group stage, a big fight among the three divisions, and the schedule was just announced today Out of the oven.
"It seems to be EDG."
Bae Junzhi really didn't look at it.
"RNG, how can the official arrange EDG for us? After EDG, we have to fight RNG first."
Li Zaiwan corrected: "After all, Yiqiu is here, the official does not arrange it RNG has a ghost.”
Hearing this, everyone was happy.
Chen Yiqiu also laughed: "RNG... I haven't met them for a long time."
Since the quarterfinals of last year's global finals, more than half a year has passed, and SKT finally met RNG again in an international competition. .
As for the last time someone ended RNG, it was two months ago when Chen Yiqiu and Lemte played a double queue live broadcast. As a result, Uzi and RNG were dissatisfied and caused a rhythm disturbance.
……
“SKT people have arrived. I heard that we won’t have any rest tonight and will train seamlessly.”
On the other side of the hotel, there is a temporary training room in the LPL competition area.
Dozens of LPL "core backbone" members are sitting or standing.
WE, RNG, EDG, OMG, IG, LGD, Snake Team...
Almost all the strong teams, star players, and top coaches of the LPL are gathered together.
As soon as I received the message, I kept waiting for the staff at the door to come and deliver the message.
Everyone's expressions dimmed, and the secret passage finally came.
