Chapter 5: The End of an Era
The diners of the barbecue stalls have already drained the water in front of the screen, and they are all looking forward to the appearance of the live broadcast screen.
But ten minutes have passed since seven o'clock, and the live screen is still black, and even the sponsored advertisements have not been inserted.
"What's going on? I don't even eat and show me a black screen? β
Some of the onlookers complained, and even Li Chujie began to be restless.
"Is the projection broken? I want to see the leaf god! β
Wu Haoran frowned and opened Thunderstorm TV, the only designated live broadcast platform for GK events, and on the home page, it was also a black screen.
"Looks like there's something wrong on the other side."
"In such a mature game, how can you still make such a mistake on the spot!" Li Chujie scolded.
The full name of the GK Pro League is Glory-of-The-King, which is the most authoritative official event in the world of Honor of Kings.
The GK Pro League has been included in the development plan of the General Administration of Sports of China, and in addition to the government and sponsors, the vast majority of the prize money comes from the sale of supporting skins.
That is, before the start of the league, players of Honor of Kings can support a single team they support, and if the team they support successfully enters the top three, they can get exclusive skins. A portion of the skin proceeds will be included in the prize pool.
With the increasing influence of GK events, the number of players in Honor of Kings has increased dramatically, and the prize money of such a mobile game has created a record of the highest reward in the history of e-sports, and it is even higher in the S10 season, directly exceeding 300 million!
The champion team will receive a prize of up to 80 million!
And tonight, all players of Honor of Kings are looking forward to the fact that China's strongest team "Killing Feast" can wash the arena with blood, win the crown, and take away the unprecedented grand prize!
"Hurry up, I can't help but use my Leaf God's exclusive skin!" Li Chujie couldn't help shouting.
Ye Feng sat on the stool a little numbly, pouring wine one after another.
The bitter wine hurt in his throat, and he didn't know what would happen next.
At this moment, the live broadcast room suddenly lit up!
There was a burst of cheers from the food stalls, with some fans even chanting "Killing Feast Wins"!
"It's finally begun!" Li Chujie shouted excitedly.
On the big screen, two familiar faces come into view.
On the left of the commentary seat is Thunderstorm TV's leading beautiful game anchor "Ruri", and on the right, wearing a gray suit and black-rimmed glasses, is the league commentator "Zorro" of the GK event.
Liuli is of mixed Chinese and European descent, with a high nose bridge and eyes with a Mediterranean blue color, which is unforgettable at a glance. In his previous life, Liuli had commented on many of Ye Feng's games and seen his countless superb operations. In terms of games, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a fan of Ye Feng.
In the usual introduction session before the start of the game, Liuli would always talk eloquently when he mentioned the killing feast and Ye Feng, but today, only Zorro read out the introduction and sponsors of the GK League with a serious face, and Liuli had red eyes and didn't say a word.
"Miss Liuli feels a little strange today." Wu Haoran was also a little sad.
"It's like crying just now, and my eyes are red."
The power of the beauty is really strong, and Li Chujie, who was like being beaten like chicken blood just now, was actually enthusiastic at this time because of Liuli's sadness.
Ye Feng looked at the glassy eyes on the screen, and his heart became even more bitter.
"I'm sorry, director, I'm sorry...... I really can't. Liuli's tense face suddenly disintegrated, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows revealed intense grief.
The situation came too suddenly, and before the director had time to cut off the picture, the live broadcast had already been transmitted.
The barrage was densely spread in the live broadcast room, and after the black screen, Liuli's original position had already sat on a male commentator wearing a white T-shirt who had never appeared in the GK League.
Obviously, this is a temporary move of someone to save the scene.
"What happened today? First, there was a situation in the live broadcast room, and now I don't know which melon skin to replace Liuli? Li Chujie was a little impatient.
I saw that the male commentator who had just sat on the commentary seat also had a grim face, and he couldn't see a trace of a smile.
He held the microphone nervously and paused for a while before saying, "Hello audience, I am today's substitute commentary pointer. We're sorry, but ahead of tonight's game, Team Killest had some extreme circumstances and had to forfeit today's game. β
"According to the schedule of the competition, due to force majeure factors, the third-ranked Dynasty team, also from China, will take over from the Killing Feast team to complete today's game."
Rumble!
The whole food stall exploded!
The reverberation of discussion and scolding overlapped, and the crowd of onlookers sitting in front of the screen was completely chaotic and slapped the table.
"Killing Feast abstain?!"
"If there is no killing feast, what kind of game are you watching? This is a circle of money! β
Not only the food stalls, but in the entire live broadcast room, all the fans of the killing feast were angry.
If it weren't for the killing feast, the GK League's prize pool wouldn't have been able to reach this terrifying level. And now the occurrence of this "extremely special situation" means that all the money they should support has been wasted.
"A contest that eats people without spitting out bones, refunds the money!"
"If we don't give a clear statement, we will complain collectively!"
"Where did this come from? What are you bragging? Hurry up and cut the Killing Feast and the Covenant match! β
Tens of thousands of barrages exploded in the live broadcast room,In order to prevent the server from crashing,Thunderstorm TV had to choose to temporarily turn off the barrage sending functionγ
At this time, in the food stalls, which had already been in chaos, a sharp and somewhat collapsed voice suddenly came out, attracting everyone's attention.
"It's amazing! Watch the news! β
All the people, including Li Chujie and Wu Haoran, took out their mobile phones when they heard the news.
In the headlines just pushed, a news about the killing feast was impressively placed in front of everyone's eyes.
"How can this be......" Li Chujie's hand holding the phone trembled in disbelief.
The food stalls instantly became extremely silent, and there were even bursts of sobbing.
Ye Feng took Li Chujie's mobile phone and forcibly clicked on the news headline.
"At three o'clock in the afternoon, a speeding car accident occurred on Binhai Avenue in Ning Province, resulting in one death and four injuries. It is reported that the members in the car are the five main players of the famous mobile game "Glory of Kings". Ye, the captain of the co-pilot, was thrown out of the car and unfortunately died. β
After reading a paragraph, Ye Feng's eyes were already burning blood-red.
His sentence don't lose on the road, but he didn't expect it to be a proverb.
Is this really the end of the era of the killing feast?
