When everyone in EDG gathered together to celebrate, the official had already launched a series of championship events.
In addition to the routine experience bonus, icon treasure chest, skin treasure chest, Hex and half-price in the mall, there is also a specially set up client mini-game with EDG player field data.
——Select a designated player, and after passing the question, you can randomly obtain a hero skin used by the player in this World Championship, which is an extra gift.
On the client homepage, the silhouettes of the seven EDG people are also quite interesting.
Ye Tian alone occupies nearly half of the screen, and the other six people are smaller than the other. Even after Ray's highly beautified face is shrunk, it's hard to tell who it is.
even so.
EDG fans also feel that Ray is making a lot of money.
Think about it, last year Mouse worked hard for several years, switching from support to top laner, and then got a chance to play after Koro1 had problems. Even though he was criticized a bit for being delayed in the World Championship, this hard work 'Everyone agrees.
Although Ray also came from the EDG youth training and played with the team throughout the regular games in 2018, before that, EDG had already asked Ye Tian to coach a champion. No matter from which angle you look at it, Ray will not be able to make it to North America. The contestants who came back through the factory manager's back door just after the game had gotten a ready-made bargain.
In addition to discussing the performance on the field, there is also a tidbit.
——It is said that the factory director will incorporate 4396 elements into the blind monk’s skin.
The news spread quickly.
But no one believed it.
Everyone just watched it for fun.
Although the factory director is very good at self-defeating, he always wants to prove who is the best jungler in the world. After studying MSI opponents and finding out that he couldn't beat them, he never played again. The 4396 damage also gives people a feeling of getting higher and higher. But what this number really represents is the dark history of the factory director sleepwalking throughout the game, and even the blind monk RQ was empty twice in a row.
What?
It was only empty once, and the other time it was because there was not enough energy?
You are a professional player. I almost missed the energy connection. Is there a big difference between it and the skill drain?
[Seriously, if Patriarch Seven really becomes a blind monk of 4396, I will buy one even if I don’t play games]
[Championship skins are available every year, there is only one for 4396, you must buy it]
[It doesn’t exist, how can the champion skin be messed up]
[Let’s wait and see the quality when it comes out. If the quality is good, buy a set. If the quality is not good, just buy the skin chosen by Brother Tian alone]
[The quality of this year’s champion skin cannot be better than last year. Last year was the first LPL championship, and this year is the second. It means Tian Ge’s second consecutive FMVP is here, which can allow designers to do a good job]
What no one expected was that the factory director actually put forward this request when communicating with the designer.
The designer, who was worried about how to make a highlight, readily accepted it. After communicating a series of details with the factory director, a very brilliant idea emerged.
Ye Tian decided on Dao Mei.
Last year's Qinggangying, this year's Sword Girl, if there is a chance to bring Sword Girl and Riven together later, the four sisters in the top lane will be complete. As for the little roast chicken that should be released later... we will talk about it in the future!
Karsa's favorite was the Blind Sin, but he couldn't choose. He chose the Rock Bird based on his personal preference and sales volume.
Scout scored twice and got Syndra, the Dark Head of State.
Iboy has Xia’s champion skin and picked a small gun this year.
Meiko got her favorite Lulu before, and this year she asked for a Thresh skin, which further explains the orthodoxy of the M auxiliary in the LPL.
Ray only has Gnar and no second option.
Fortunately, when he debuted, Ray thought of following Ye Tian to get the champion skin. Compared to the most popular top laners, Gnar is a bit inferior. He is considered a mainstream hero. As long as the quality is not too bad, he can always sell. Some.
Before leaving South Korea, Ye Tian was also exposed to so-called specialty food at Ray's instigation.
You can try the kimchi.
Although the taste is not much different from the domestic ones, there is nothing special about it, but at least it is worth eating.
Bibimbap and miso soup are also acceptable.
The army pot will definitely not work.
Thinking of the original production process, Ye Tian couldn't thank him enough. No matter how resentful Ray's eyes were, Ye Tian would never touch this kind of food that was fished out of the swill and might even have descendants of American soldiers attached to it.
Two days later.
Everyone from EDG returned from Incheon International Airport.
A series of rewards for the world champion have also been implemented.
Since 2016, Riot Games has launched championship skins and championship guards before the World Championship, and included 25% of the revenue into the global finals prize pool.
S6 is the champion's hidden - calamity.
S7 is the Arrow of Champions - Ashe.
S8 is the champion predator - Kha'Zix.
In terms of quality, the best among these three skins is definitely Zed. Although it feels relatively average and has even been criticized by many high-level unique skills players, these high-level unique skills players are only a very small part compared with entertainment players.
For recreational players who focus on matching and big battles, if the feel is not so bad that it cannot be used, the impact will not be big, and the skin will be cool!
Kha'Zix's skin is relatively average, especially when there are three skins: Tyrannical Alien, Dark Star, and Death Bloom. If it is the same single color as in previous years, it is really not easy to have high sales. Fortunately, the designers are very aware of this. In addition to the original skins, they also produced a series of colors based on each major team.
In this case, the situation is completely different.
In particular, Ye Tiansheng's appearance on the court has driven the sales of EDG's colorful Kha'Zix skin. The Chinese server is also the server with the strongest spending power. According to statistics, the prize money for this year's World Championship champion is as high as 6.13 million US dollars.
Calculated based on the 37.5% exclusive ratio for the champion, EDG can get 2.29875 million US dollars, which is 16.02 million RMB based on the real-time exchange rate.
The starting five split 80%, which is 2.4 million.
This is not over yet.
There is also a 25% share for subsequent champion skins.
Even if the second championship is not commemorative enough and the sales volume will not be higher than the first championship, with Ye Tianer’s continuous FMVP drive and the factory director’s 4396 work, the income must be very considerable.
Last year, Ed Zhu gave each of the EDG champion members a house. This year, he gave each of the EDG champions a bonus of 500,000 yuan and a Hechuang car. He used the banner of giving rewards to the team members to create a wave of advertising. It was a win-win situation.
certainly.
For Ye Tian, the bonuses are all small.
Not to mention the signing fee provided by the Dousha TV platform, even the gift income is far more than the bonus.
"Holy shit!"
"A gift of more than five hundred thousand yuan in one night!" Zhizi followed Ye Tian to arrange the show and worked on the show effect for one night. When he saw the statistics after the broadcast was closed, his eyes widened: "I have more than five hundred thousand yuan." , Brother Tian, the gift you received is at least three to four million, right?”
"Three to four million?" Ye Tian shook his head: "It's too small, the pattern is too small."
"Then...five or six million?" The posture increased a little.
"It's still small." Ye Tian pointed at the screen and made an 'eight' sign with his right hand.
"Holy shit, eight million?!" He couldn't sit still and slid under the table. He finally climbed out and looked at the numbers on Ye Tian's screen clearly, and screamed again.
Ye Tian returned to Datian Manor and held a party with all EDG members and anchors with whom he had good relationships. The popularity and gifts all reached unprecedented heights. In just five hours, the income reached more than 8 million.
Excluding the 37% account and the 45% personal income tax of the platform, there are still 3.1 million.
You know, there is no guild-made turnover here, and there is no mess. Every penny is pure, and at most... it will only deduct a small amount of refund for minors.
"Let's go, I'm treating you."
Ye Tianyi waved: "Go to the top of the magic city for supper!"
Everyone in the LPL is celebrating.
Across the ocean, Riot Games designers worked overtime to study Ye Tian's game scene, and everyone had a distressed look on their faces.
For a competitive game, it is important to create a god. Only by successfully creating a god can this ‘god’ drive the fan base to create economic value.
If there is not even a 'god', the professional arena will be filled with nameless players and rookies pecking each other. No matter how high the level of the competition is set, no one will be willing to watch it, let alone attract brands to invest real money for it. silver.
But.
This ‘god’ cannot be exaggerated.
The last true god, Faker, perfectly meets the needs of Riot Games and even the League of Legends game - he has both personal ability and absolute hard work and self-discipline, and his competition results, performance, and private behavior are all impeccable.
The most important point is that Faker is not invincible in the true sense. He can reach the top of the mountain and fall to the bottom. From time to time, he will let the star players in the small competition kill one or two times. Overall, he is a god. In fact, he is also a mortal who bleeds and gets injured.
Ye Tian is different.
In terms of laning, Ye Tian is half a level higher than Faker at his peak, and almost one level higher than Theshy, the world's second top laner. The only difference between his opponents is early collapse and late collapse. He can truly avoid collapse. None.
In terms of team battles, Ye Tian is only stronger than Faker at his peak. Due to the nature of the top lane hero, he can often create famous 1vN scenes.
Not to mention support, Faker, as the mid laner, cannot radiate the whole game like Ye Tian in every game.
What's even more frightening is that in addition to the player's ability, it can be seen from EDG's behind-the-scenes footage and on-field voiceovers that Ye Tian has also reached the ceiling level in terms of version understanding and tactical formulation. On the court, EDG is equivalent to having an overview. The top coach in the overall situation is giving real-time command, and it is difficult not to mention the team's ability.
According to the BOSS of a stand-alone game.
Everyone knows Faker's mechanism and health bar very well. Maybe sometimes he can't resist, but it's not impossible to do anything.
Until now, Ye Tian has not even revealed the health bar, not to mention the mechanism - the one-for-four change in the third game of this year's finals was just a sacrifice he chose to win in the fastest and most stable way. If If you don't seek quick victory, you won't die at all.
Was it a bleeding strip?
No!
It was the BOSS who took the initiative to use a skill that consumes blood, and it was full in the next second!
"I don't think the idea of focusing on Tian being good at nerfing heroes is going to work."
Chief designer Greg Street (Ghost Crab) touched two-thirds of his bald forehead: "Tian uses relatively strong heroes. If these are nerfed, other players will be weakened even more and will be less able to resist Tian's attacks. Pressure, even if all the top lane heroes are eliminated, Tian can still run to the mid lane - with his personal ability and understanding of the battle situation, he is completely qualified for the mid lane position. "
"Design the attributes of the runes to be more flexible." Jeevun Sidhu from India has a whimsical idea: "The runes now are selected with fixed matching attributes, including armor but not armor, magic resistance but not magic resistance, offensive type Players like it very much, but it is not suitable for defensive players. Adaptability, armor, and magic resistance should be made separate options, so that professional players can use their strengths.”
"Change Conqueror so that it doesn't trigger within four seconds of entering combat. That's only suitable for strong players like Tian. Change it to a stack like Zeal of War. It's only fair that everyone gets about the same number of stacks during the fight."
"Akali's stealth mechanism needs to be cancelled. At least Tian cannot be allowed to jump over the tower casually."
"Yes, the setting of not being seen by the real eye can be left. The mechanism of not being seen by the defense tower is entirely provided for Tian. If this is cancelled, only Tian will be weakened."
"I recommend removing the damage reduction of Sword Girl W."
"No, without W to reduce damage, Dao Mei will become a waste. Any hero can beat him with one set."
"Then remove the magic damage reduction. Now that Sword Girl is placed in the middle, which mage can be chosen? It's not like you haven't seen W in the final to resist Syndra's explosion."
The more people talked, the more chaotic they became, turning the good conference room into a vegetable market.
"Stop, stop, stop!"
"Stop!"
Ghost Crab made a mute gesture: "For other things, you can send them to me via email. Now we are only discussing how to make changes that can limit Tian's personal performance. At least we can't let him win the championship if he wants to win the championship like he does now, and bring the world to his knees. He comes to play as a substitute... The acts of substitute training that we explicitly prohibit are ineffective against him.”
"Who would have thought that someone could be a power leveler for the World Championships?" someone murmured under his breath.
"No matter what, we have to solve this problem. If we can't solve it for two consecutive years, it means that we are all useless!" Ghost Crab fiercely issued a military order: "One week, within one week I must see a mature person plan, if Tian is still used as a single player in next year’s World Championship, I will take the blame and resign, and you will not get your bonus.”
…
The so-called joys and sorrows of people are not the same.
Riot designers were all frowning, fearing that Ye Tian would turn the World Championship into a personal performance again. On the LPL side, Jin Yibo, who was in charge of the national server, was happy.
Two consecutive championships, how about that?
Compared with the four consecutive championships in the LCK division from S3 to S6, it is not much at all.
Not enough to tip the balance between divisions.
What makes Jin Yibo even more happy is that as the RNG team capsized in the S8 finals and was sent back to his hometown by a mere G2, UZI, who once again refused to pick up the lantern, has lost the qualification to compete with Ye Tian. It would have lost a lot of popularity, but all The young IG who played a supporting role in 2016 defeated KT and AFS, replacing UZI and becoming the uncrowned...little king.
Tengjing's plan for next year is to promote Ye Tian to the status of the supreme god, and let IG and RNG, Theshy and UZI compete in the ring. The popularity will definitely become even more explosive.
…
Outside of LPL.
The giants in the EU and NA regions, as well as some mid-to-upper-tier teams in the LCK, have other ideas.
In the past two years, EDG's basic strength has been average. Regardless of the top laner, they have not been able to enter the first tier among the teams participating in the World Championship.
Even so, Tian was still able to lead EDG to two consecutive championships, maintaining a terrifying 100% winning rate.
So...
If you invite Tian to your side, you may not have a chance to win the championship! (End of chapter)
