Chapter 2: Beginning to Kill (4)
Xie Liuying: "I didn't want to pour cold water on you, but isn't this a little too much." For a long time, no matter how good a sports player is, he has only excelled in his own field, won one championship after another, and then went one step further, doing public welfare, and making some contributions to the society is already very remarkable. We are e-sports players, to put it bluntly, we are a group of people who make money by playing games, fans are our food and clothing parents, what do parents think? Willing to do it? What can we worry about? The situation has changed. ”
Me: "But I think it's at the point where you can't change it, esports is different from traditional sports. It's a miracle that games like "The Title" have lasted for nearly a decade, but it's hard to imagine that traditional sports like soccer and basketball won't be popular in another ten years. So our fans and audiences are both precious and vulnerable. ”
Me: "Lao Xu told me that in our loss to the Heart Tribulation team, there were many people who scolded us as professional 'Moon God Black', and most of these people were fans of Brother Tian back then. However, in terms of numbers, these people and the Phoenix Stone team currently have less than one-tenth of the fans they had when they won the championship at their peak. ”
Xie Liuying: "Isn't this normal, the popularity of the game is not as good as it was back then, and the results of the Phoenix Stone team are not as good as back then, so it is natural that there are no fans in ten." ”
Me: "Of course, there are reasons for the decline in popularity and results, but can we find a way to increase the retention of fans when the team is not doing well?" There are many people who don't love it anymore, but they are scolded so much that they can't hold their heads up when their team's results are not good, so they have to be forced to quit the pit. There is a very strange phenomenon in the current public opinion environment, that is, the fans of the team with good results can ride on the heads of the fans of the team with bad results and scold. This is very unreasonable, the team we like has good results, we players don't have arrogant capital, why can fans be arrogant and wantonly attack others? It's not because of all kinds of networks, no one knows anyone, and there is no need to maintain their own image, let alone be responsible for their words and deeds. ”
Xie Liuying: "So what you mean is that in the long run, only the team with the best results at that time has a certain number of fans, and the stock of fans of other teams will be exhausted in attacking each other. ”
Me: "Since you know that fans are our food and clothing, we as players have to be aware of this, and we have to find a way to keep them, not only for individuals and our team, but also for the whole audience. The loss of fans in any other team is also a loss for us in the big picture. ”
Xie Liuying: "I understand what you mean, you want to start with the first step to increase your influence, so you don't hesitate to take the initiative to 'lead the war', first, to increase your influence, and second, to create a situation where you and the mountains and forests are incompatible, and start from this relatively small situation to see if you can find a way for fans on both sides to coexist." But I don't think the situation is optimistic, not to mention whether Shanlin is of the same mind as you in this matter, let's talk about ready-made examples. Insiders basically know that Brother Tian and Luna are opponents on the field, but they can be regarded as confidants off the court, and the two have a lot of interaction in post-game interviews and live broadcasts. Under this premise, fans on both sides have had several large-scale conflicts in various online communities. Even if you become a star player one day, it won't be easy to beat the game. ”
Me: "I know very well that in the end, doing this kind of thing will probably be a disguised declaration of war on some of my own fans. Basically, no celebrity will choose to fight against their fans, and if I do, the end will be miserable. But if you don't give it a try, how do you know? Lao Xu gave me an analysis yesterday, and I believe that the core fans who really support me should be able to understand my approach. Those who wantonly attack others in the name of players are certainly just a bunch of losers who use esports competitions to vent their real-life grievances, and I don't feel sorry to lose them. ”
Xie Liuying: "There have been many players who have defined a new way to play a certain game, which is already a great contribution in the circle. Do you want to directly redefine the circle of this game? ”
Me: "Sooner or later, new gameplay will become obsolete due to version changes, even if it was Excalibur Shadowless. But if it can bring qualitative changes to the environment of the entire circle, it will be beneficial to itself and the development of the game in the long run. We have to let everyone know that it's not a shame to like a team that doesn't do very well or a player who isn't very strong. In this circle, it is your own freedom to like whomever you like, and no one can criticize at will. ”
Xie Liuying smiled: "Oh, you are really, you can't understand when you are serious." I knew that I shouldn't have saved you when I saw you for the first time, and I wouldn't have gotten on this thief ship now, but now you're getting more and more ambitious. ”
Me: "So what are you going to do?" ”
Xie Liuying: "What else can I do?" We've long been grasshoppers on a rope, and if you're going to be sprayed one day, it's not fun for me to have no internal strength. However, you were still a little too anxious last night. On the contrary, it seems to be actively provoking trouble, since you have to fight against this environment, you can't follow the rhythm of these fighters and trolls. ”
Me: "So I drank too much last night, but fortunately, things are not irreparable, although the wording and timing are not appropriate, but the result is still the result I wanted." ”
At this time, her mobile phone suddenly vibrate, and she opened it and glanced at it, "Shanlin seems to have replied to you." ”
I finally opened Weibo, and sure enough, I saw that Shanlin reposted my Weibo, and added: "Then you may have to wait for a while." ”
The current top-flight Causal Cup is in the eight-in-four stage. Shanlin's team from the Four Ambassadors successfully advanced to the semifinals the day before yesterday, and what he meant naturally was that they could still go far, and they were very likely and confident to participate in the finals. I calculated the time, and if he was in the final, I would have to wait about two weeks.
At the same time, our team also issued an announcement, "It is said that the Kezhou player has obtained a sword, and when he kills a sword with a higher attack power than himself, he can copy an entry from the opponent, so he will challenge the mountains and forests that have a divine weapon and the attack power of the weapon is not too high." It is not a deliberate provocation "Yunyun.
At this moment, someone suddenly added fuel to the fire, and I clearly saw Song Yi commenting under Shanlin's reposted Weibo: "I have watched your game, to be honest, there is no problem with Kezhou beating you with a level forty weapon." ”
