Chapter Ninety-Five: "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is born!
Even after Lord Wang returned to the training base, and after LTG won their first rebuilt victory, the world continued to move forward.
Saturday, May 28, 2016.
On this day, Ginno Games, a South Korean game company controlled by Chinese investors, released a tactical competitive game called "PLAYERUNKNOWN'S BATTLEGROUNDS", which landed on foreign steam game platforms at 9 a.m. on the same day.
On the first day of the game logging in to the Steam game platform, GinnoGames spent a lot of money on the foreign Twich live broadcast platform, and invited a number of foreign CSGO professional streamers to log in to the game for trial play.
Similarly, among the domestic live broadcast platforms, GinnoGames has also sprinkled a huge amount of publicity funds!
Seafood live broadcast platform, national treasure live broadcast platform, a tooth live broadcast platform......
And so on, large and small, among the live broadcast platforms that can't be named, they were quickly fully covered by the promotional live broadcast of this new game!
"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" was born.
For the League of Legends esports community, the impact of this incident itself is not the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".
It's its actual owner, Jiang Bufan.
"Lao Jiang is not good at handling his team, what do you want to do in such a gun game?"
After receiving the promotion request of the live broadcast platform, Sao Zhu stroked his big bald head with a confused face, puzzled!
"What's wrong? Prostitution teacher? ”
The pony in the queue hears Sao Pig's muttering to himself and asks curiously.
"Just now, Chaoguan told me that I should play a game on the Steam platform during the live broadcast tonight, called "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds"!"
"What's going on?" The pony said inexplicably.
For a head anchor like Sao Pig, it is a very common thing to receive some other messy game promotion on weekdays, especially the live broadcast platform where he is located will also give him a hard promotion task every once in a while, so that he can help promote some messy mobile games that have paid money in the live broadcast, and the pony doesn't understand why Sao Pig scratches his head when he looks at this promotion news.
"It's nothing!" Sao Pig shook his head, handed the phone to the pony, and pointed to the Chinese promotion slogan of "PUBG" on the screen, "The key is that the gang of people who stepped on the horse said that this game was made by Lao Jiang!" ”
"Lao Jiang? Jiang Shen? ”
Pony took Piggy's phone and looked at it carefully.
"Created by League of Legends champion coach Jiang Bufan, and developed by Brandon Green, a veteran survival mod game producer, and GinnoGames, a top game production company in the Korean industry, it took two years to bring players the most realistic physics engine and gun experience!
In the game, a variety of vehicles, complex terrain, and hundreds of people on the same screen!
Bringing you the most authentic, PUBG experience!"
"Wow! This blows! Pony pursed his lips and changed his phone to Sao Pig, looking incredulous, "I guess it's another 999 copycat game, right?" I don't know how much money I gave to Jiang Shen to buy Jiang Shen's name printed on it! ”
"I guess so!"
Sao Pig nodded in agreement.
………………
At the same time, XG Team Club.
In the training room, the players did not sit in front of their computers as usual to train, but sat in a circle with the whole staff.
"Lao Jiang, are you serious?" Team manager Zhang Xiaodong looked at Jiang Bufan in front of him with a shocked face, and said with some disbelief, "Are you really stepping down as head coach?!" ”
Before Jiang Bufan could say anything, Shen Chao, who was sitting on the other side, stood up: "Lao Jiang, now that our team's situation is so difficult, do you want to escape at this juncture?!" ”
"I ......"
Before Jiang Bufan finished speaking, Shen Chao immediately interrupted Jiang Bufan's next words, and waved his hands excitedly: "Don't talk about the playoffs in the spring game, you almost went to the relegation game!" The investment of the other teams in this summer tournament has quadrupled, and the funding of our XG team is still at the same level as last year......"
"Even so, our coaching staff, these players have nothing to say, the puppy was originally going to retire because of a hand injury, but when he heard that the team did not have a suitable shooter position this year, he returned to the team with his luggage on his back the next day!"
"But ......"
"Bang!"
Shenchao slapped the table fiercely, startling Xiao Ming beside him.
The god strode forward in a big way, stretched out his index finger and pointed directly at Jiang Bufan's head: "Escape!" Coward! ”
"Hold him!"
"Not really!"
King Ning and Xiao Ming hurriedly stepped forward, and the two of them struggled to grab the emotional Shenchao from left to right and dragged him backwards.
"You still don't forget your original intention with us?! Do you deserve it! Jiang Bufan! Do you deserve it?! If the team's results are not good, you have to run, what kind of game do you have?! Phew! ”
Jiang Bufan's face was cloudy, he didn't look at Shenchao who was dragged away, lowered his head and said to Zhang Xiaodong beside him in a dumb voice, "Leave me a place in the team, I'll S7 come back!" Then he turned and walked out.
Everyone who was left of the XG team just watched Jiang Bufan, the head coach of the dynasty team that single-handedly created the XG team, walk towards the door step by step, and no one could say a word.
"Lao Jiang!"
The puppy finally couldn't help but speak.
Jiang Bufan paused and did not look back.
"Can you not go? Finish this summer with us?! Even if we don't make it to the Worlds or the playoffs in the end! ”
"Lao Jiang...... Can we still fight...... Why are you leaving? The sound of broilers rang out as well.
Xiangguo also opened his mouth to stay: "Lao Jiang, we S4 have survived such difficult conditions, why do you have to leave now that we are just encountering such a small problem in the summer game?" ”
Xiaohu and Brother Rang are also trying their best to keep them.
No one knows what Jiang Bufan is thinking in his heart at this moment.
But after a long silence, he finally took his steps and walked out of the XG team's training room and left the XG esports club without looking back.
From this day on, Jiang Bufan is no longer the head coach of the XG team, but a qualified businessman.
And his "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" also completely detonated the game market around the world on this day, bringing him a huge amount of income!
"The hit game of 2016! "PUBG" steam platform sales soar! Millions of copies sold every day! ”
"It's so much fun to eat chicken! No way! I haven't touched League of Legends in a week since I started playing Chicken! ”
"I announce! "PUBG" is the next e-sports hot spot! Clubs that want to get into the professional team are up for action! ”
"Report! Another big guy in the e-sports circle! Jiang Bufan became the second successful businessman to come out of the e-sports circle after 2009! ”
