Chapter 119: Rumors of Match-fixing

The game show is closed.

But Chen Ba did not return to Jiangning, but flew from Neon to Los Angeles.

There are two reasons for this.

First, the renovation of the studio has not yet been completed, and I can't work normally when I go back now.

Second, the first game of the GAL league overseas is about to start, and he, the chairman of GAL, should go to the scene to show his face and convey his attitude.

“…… Good evening, audience members in front of the audience and in front of the screen! Welcome to the first game of the Los Angeles branch of the "Star Emperor" Golden Glory League, I am the Chinese stream commentary void of this game. ”

"Hello everyone, I'm beginningless!"

"Wow! Everyone should be able to hear the deafening cheers in the venue, and the audience is so enthusiastic! ”

"Yes, the Staples Center should be full today, and everyone is looking forward to the upcoming strong dialogue!"

"That's right! Thank you again to Huazi, NVIDIA, Intel, Microsoft, Sansang, Herman Miller...... Great support for this competition! ”

"By the way, the officially licensed Logitech mouse of "Star Emperor" is now on the shelves of Xianyu Digital, and interested players can scan the QR code at the bottom of the screen for more details......"

After reading a long list of sponsors comparable to the name of the dish, the void and beginninglessness on the commentary stage turned to introduce today's special guest commentator - GameBugs!

"Welcome Brother Ba!"

"Welcome, welcome, Brother Ba should have just come from neon, right?"

"Yes!"

Chen Ba experienced the game commentary for the first time, and was a little unable to answer, and nodded and replied after hearing the inquiry: "The video game exhibition flew over as soon as it ended." ”

"As we all know, Brother Ba is the chairman of our GAL Alliance, and he has a lot of insider information, I don't know if I can tell you about some rumors about the transfer period?"

"Transfer period?!"

Chen Ba, who was fiddling with the headphones, was a little puzzled when he heard this: "There are still a few months left in the transfer period, where did the rumors come from?" ”

"But it is rumored on the Internet that Xu Xiaofei of the Intel team is about to join AMD, and even the intention contract has been signed."

"Pure rumors!"

Chen Ba refuted the rumors: "For off-the-field news like this, it is recommended that everyone look at it rationally and pay more attention to the performance of the players on the field." If there are any personnel changes during the transfer period, we will inform you as soon as possible. ”

The transfer period has not yet arrived, how can Xu Xiaofei transfer? Did he really use the rules he made as an ornament?

It can only be said that the rumors are outrageous.

Chen Ba emphasized the importance of the rules and the penalties that will be imposed for violating the rules, which can be regarded as an official refuting the rumors.

Beginningless and Void also found that Brother Ba didn't seem to want to talk more about this, so they led the topic to the entry of the two console giants, Sony and Microsoft.

"That's right!"

"The GAL league has approved the formation of these two teams, and they will also sign up for the New York tournament."

Hearing this, Beginningless and Void immediately asked the audience the most curious question: "Brother Naba, what do you think these two OEMs will achieve in GAL?" ”

"It's hard to say."

Although Chen Ba is not optimistic about their performance, it is impossible to publicly say which team is not good.

You must know that his words and deeds have a great impact on these teams, and some words can be known in the heart, and they can't be said on the surface.

Let's talk about today's game.

After two consecutive championships in Zhonghai Station and Pengcheng Station, NVIDIA's popularity has reached its peak, and almost everyone is optimistic that they will continue to win the championship until they win the annual championship.

In this Los Angeles station, the opening match is the familiar battle between A card and N card.

Narration requires prediction.

Void and beginningless, not to mention supporting Nvidia to win the good start, only Chen Ba supports AMD.

"AMD still has the strength, and they signed a new controller last month, and it is said that the trial performance is amazing......

The transfer rules restrict the transfer of players, but the signing of free agents and new players by the club is not within the scope of control.

So AMD discovered a handle genius, Chen Ba also knew about it, and even he knew more about the inside story than ordinary people.

This handle genius is a real genius, and getting the best role, in the Rank rank, it's as simple as killing a pig.

Of course, not as strong as Xu Xiaofei.

But only from the current point of view, this handle brother from Lucia should be the second best player in the GAL league after Xu Xiaofei.

So Chen Ba is optimistic about AMD's revenge.

And that's exactly what happened......

NVIDIA's two consecutive championships are nothing more than relying on the hardware advantage to catch other teams off guard.

When AMD also began to explode laboratory technology, narrow the hardware gap, and introduce controller genius, Nvidia will not be able to.

"Nvidia is a team...... How to say, if they want to hit the annual championship, they still have to make up for their shortcomings as soon as possible, that is, sign strong enough professional players. ”

What kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp are these?

The problem that both the commentary and the audience can see, there is no reason why Nvidia can't see it.

But they couldn't help it, they entered too late, and the good seedlings were signed by other teams, so they could only pick a few pleasing players from the ranking passers-by to stuff into the team.

If you can rely on hardware advantages, there is naturally no problem, but if the hardware gap is not large, it is a matter of time before you encounter a hard stubble like AMD.

"Coach analysts?"

After watching two games at the commentary desk, Chen Ba was surprised to find that AMD had actually formed a professional team of coaches and analysts and began to work on the BP stage.

Professional!

At first, everyone didn't pay much attention to BP, and relied more on hardware advantages to crush the past and take the wild road.

But now it's getting more and more specialized.

Moreover, AMD's engineers are also very fast in repairing and replacing host parts, and they can restore the "combat effectiveness" of a console that is on the verge of being scrapped in more than ten seconds.

And that's a good thing......

AMD's successful precedent will make other teams value the team of coaches and analysts, and the professional division of engineers.

Ye Luzi can win for a while, but he can't win for a lifetime! If you want to make achievements, you can't have shortcomings, and you must do every detail well.

From this point of view, AMD now has the real champion appearance, and also has the background and strength to impact the championship, it depends on when Nvidia and Intel will follow up.

"What ...... is a Coaching Analyst"

After today's game, the two commentators, Void and Beginningless, told Chen Ba something offstage.

It's all on the periphery of the game.

At present, the scale is not very large, but this is also outrageous, after all, betting on this thing is likely to affect the ecological environment of the entire league.

Once it is not handled well, some people may not be tempted to start match-fixing!

"I'll go back and find out."

Chen Ba frowned, he didn't expect that a small GAL league would even have this kind of dark side.

You can't ignore match-fixing.

Although the two commentators did not say it explicitly, Chen Ba understood the subtext of the two of them, that is, someone must be involved in this aspect, but it is just difficult to name them.

……

I went abroad, but I didn't expect to learn that someone in GAL bought a peripheral match-fixing match.

This made Chen Ba very angry.

However, he did not have a seizure at the first time, but quietly contacted the heads of major clubs, intending to conduct a round of secret investigation.

Before the results of the investigation came out, he should have never heard of it, and he would do whatever he wanted, and the game would go on as usual, so as not to startle the snake.

But once the results of the investigation are available, these people will definitely be dealt with severely, and the ban and fines will be the lightest, and the serious ones may have to be sent to step on the sewing machine.

After going out for half a month, the studio has changed a lot.

As soon as he returned to the familiar studio, Chen Ba was pleased to find that the office he requested had been renovated.

Ok, good, good!

The new office decoration style was completely designed according to his instructions before leaving, and the walls were also painted with characters from many games of Tianba Studio.

The office area is divided......

In addition to the original workstations, a lounge area with a large-screen TV was also made. Not only are there PS5 and Xbox game consoles, but there's even a pool table.

"Won't it be too crowded?"

Yang Dong felt that the rest area occupied a large space, so it seemed that the office area was very crowded and cramped.

"It's okay, there are few of us."

Chen Ba waved his hand and said, "There are only a dozen or so people in total, and the current space is completely enough." ”

Brother Dong is worried that the office area is too small to recruit new employees, after all, there are so many workstations, and there is no place to settle new employees.

But Chen Ba felt that it was enough.

Since it is enough, it is not necessary to consider whether the newcomers are crowded or not, but how to make the working environment more comfortable.

"Zhou Jun wants to resign."

Yang Dong explained: "His mother is not in good health, and someone must take care of her, he just told me, let me ask your opinion." ”

"I'm okay with ......"

Hearing that someone resigned, Chen Ba was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "It's more important to take care of the old mother, let's leave if he wants to." ”

It's common for people to come and go in the workplace.

If the employee wants to resign, it is impossible for Chen Ba to stop the family from leaving, there is no such reason.

Besides, taking a Zhou Jun really doesn't have much impact on Tianba Studio, just recruit another person.

"There is a high probability that I will have to work overtime this year."

"You go and ask everyone, see how many people are willing to stay in Jiangning for the New Year, and the salary and bonus are enough." Chen Ba groaned.

The neon game show has just finished drawing cakes, anyway, build the folder first, save the time when people ask, and I can't say anything.

Based on this premise, the studio will definitely be busy at the end of the year, and going home for the New Year is even more of a luxury.

Chen Ba had already called the old man and asked him to come to Jiangning for the New Year, and he would not go back this year.

Xiao Lu and Zhong Shengwei's house is in Jiangning, and Yang Dong doesn't like to go home in the first place, so there is no problem.

In addition to a few of them, four employees also said that they would not go back for the Chinese New Year this year, and would stay in Jiangning to accompany Brother Ba to develop new games.

Eight people, that's enough!

After learning how many people were left behind, Chen Ba made a basic division of labor and introduced the general situation of the game "Love Staff" to everyone.

It is a 2.5D game.

The painting style is biased towards the two-dimensional animation style, and the original character paintings, including art designs such as scene maps, were entrusted to the teams they had worked with before.

"The game is divided into two parts, the male protagonist and the female protagonist ...... perspective"

Chen Ba stared at everyone, and then said: "The male protagonist is set up by Brother Dong and Zhong Shengwei, and the female protagonist is handed over to me and Xiao Lu." ”

"Huh?"

Before the others could speak, Xiao Lu exclaimed: "I'll be in charge of the heroine's perspective, the characters of those handsome guys and beautiful men?" ”

"What's the problem?"

"I don't understand! How do I know what types of male characters female gamers like? Xiao Lu put on a mask of pain.

Let him design popular female characters, that's probably okay, after all, men know men best, and everyone's preferences and tastes should be similar.

Designing the other half of the female gamer's mind, that is, the handsome guy in the otome game, that's really difficult, how can he understand a woman's heart?

"It's okay, there's still me!"

"Guy?!"

Xiao Lu glanced at Brother Ba strangely, and muttered in a low voice, "Brother Ba, you don't seem to have a girlfriend yet, right?" Even I'm not as good as me, how can I understand what type girls like? ”

Chen Ba: "......"

What should I do if I suddenly want to hit someone?

What does it mean that he doesn't even have a girlfriend, so he doesn't understand what type of boys girls like? Haven't you ever eaten pork, haven't you ever seen a pig run?

Besides, many of the producers of otome games are men! Not everyone is married, and it's not impossible to be single.

Ultimately......

Find out what type the player likes, whether the producer is male or female, and whether he is single or not is not very related.

"There are so many similar games on the market, it shouldn't be difficult to summarize the successful experience of others, right?"

Chen Ba rolled his eyes and said, "What's wrong with the boy?" Boys can't know what type of girls they like? ”

Joke!

He has also played the otome love game, and he plays this game from the perspective of a straight man, and he sees it more objectively without a filter.

There are just a few kinds of characters.

Just as most boys like to be gentle and cute, girls actually like to have a lot in common.

Don't always talk about the overbearing president.

Trivia!

The domineering president is just like the golden retriever tsundere, but it is just a relatively popular one among many otome people.

The little milk dog-type boyfriend who has the opposite personality is also the favorite of many girls......

Besides.

The cheerful and sunny big brother next door, and the self-enclosed iceberg face is also a more popular type.

"These characters are relatively general, and you may not have any concept when you say it."

Chen Ba explained: "Specifically, it is a genius scholar who was wronged and bullied when he was a child, although he seems to be strong but his heart is extremely fragile. ”

"Bohemian and uninhibited, a wealthy homeless man who falls in love with someone and dies on the ground......"

After adding different identity backgrounds and their respective experiences, the personalities of these characters can be considered complete, rather than being summarized by a simple sentence of "domineering president".

"Brother Ba, you understand so well!"

Zhong Shengwei adored: "You don't play otome games, right?" Can you recommend me a few fun ones that can bend straight men? ”

Chen Ba's fists hardened.

He's obviously talking about serious things, why is the focus of these people on his love of playing otome games?

No, what's wrong with his love of playing otome games? Haven't you all played it?
