Time passed quietly. Although Yu Hui had not broadcast a live broadcast since the premiere in order to keep a low profile, the entire month of November still passed with her name in it.
In this fast-paced era of globalization, no matter how explosive the news is, it will be on the screen for a few days and then disappear. Only her ID has always been at the top of the hot search list.
Many people in the entertainment industry went from jealousy to shock, and finally to numbness.
And this kind of monster-level performance is completely supported by netizens' spontaneous support every day.
The reason is not difficult to understand. It is the residual warmth after the intensive bombardment of breaking news.
First, IG won the championship, and then Asuna was crowned a god. Then came the stunning debut of the heroine, and the hype of uploading one song a week.
These news are stirring up the nerves of netizens all the time, and people are discussing issues related to Asuna on major social platforms every day.
Either they are exploring the effects and strength of new hero skills, or they are discussing the champion skins they may choose, or they are recommending Seraphine's songs to listen to.
This popular trend has made celebrities in the entertainment industry and e-sports circles jealous and envious.
Taking up so many public resources and having so many fans and audience support~
One person's limelight overshadows everyone in a circle. This kind of momentum of looking down on the world, which person has not fantasized about it when he was young and frivolous?
How can you not be jealous now that you are watching others turn their fantasies into reality?
In particular, the star players in the e-sports circle are the most embarrassed. There is not much difference in data between the big and small traffic figures in the entertainment circle.
But they are said to be star players in the e-sports circle, but even the factory director and the puppy at their peak, the number of fans back then was extremely small compared to the current Yu Hui.
They are both star players, but the gap in popularity and status is so huge that it makes people feel embarrassed to see them, let alone their overall popularity on a global scale~
In S7, there was still a hundred schools of thought contending in the LPL division. In 60E, pigs and dogs clashed in chaotic battles, with each winning or losing. When S7 ends and EDG rises, Pig Dog will still be able to fight against Yu Hui's fans.
As a result, the outcome was decided after the Asian Games, and Asuna was the undisputed number one player in the LPL.
After S8IG successfully won the championship, Yu Hui became completely unstoppable and climbed to the top step by step in the world.
Globally, as a rising star, she has surpassed Faker in popularity after Faker's two S-game failures.
Fame brings huge benefits, and it inevitably requires Yu Hui to have a perfect external image, because her every move, word and deed is no longer entirely her own.
After all, mixed in with the flowers and praises must be increasingly stringent internal and external requirements. Fortunately, Yu Hui has never made any principled mistakes.
This invisibly also sets a good benchmark for the player style in the LPL division.
Nowadays, LPL professional players are extremely humble and polite in their external behavior during live broadcasts or rankings, for fear that the audience will compare them with a certain girl.
The operating department of Riot Games is now completely copying what the entertainment industry is best at, using its previously accumulated music library to rejuvenate it through the mouth of Asuna.
Coupled with several new original songs, which have crazily topped the charts around the world, coupled with promotional materials and other marketing, the popularity of Yu Hui and Serafani remains high.
And Riot's ambitions go far beyond that. The current era is an era of eyeball economy. If they want to seize this hard-won opportunity, pan-entertainment is imperative.
Yu Hui is just a part of their plan to attract new players by breaking through the circle and expanding the audience flow at home during professional games.
In other words, this is an all-round support with an experimental nature, using her good audience popularity to create a spokesperson for the League of Legends to the outside world.
Pan-entertainment has both advantages and disadvantages for Yu Hui or all professional players. The advantage is that it can get higher attention, and high traffic equals high income.
Although Yu Hui doesn't care about a slight increase in his net worth, for many professional players, this money is very important.
The disadvantage is that the foundation of professional players is ultimately on the playing field. If the game is good, you are good and I am good, everyone is good. If the game fails, the criticism you face will increase exponentially.
And because of the pan-entertainment aspect, there will be a large number of fans who only care about the players and not the competition. It is very easy to create a chaotic atmosphere.
This is a double-edged sword, and no one knows where it will take League of Legends in the future.
Yu Hui still has a relatively indifferent attitude towards this. She has only two big goals, one is to win the championship, and the other is to promote the reform of the league.
The huge reputation that Riot Games has given her through her god-making operation now allows her to deal with the league organizing committee more calmly, and the cooperation will be a mutually beneficial deal. So she's very cooperative with fists.
As for whether she will be backlashed by her huge fan base after losing games and missing the championship in the future, that is not a question she can consider.
And...someone in the current LPL is already suffering huge backlash from the fan base, and that is RNG!
In fact, you don't need to think about it. After losing the BO5 game in G2, it will definitely not be over until RNG kills one or two. A friend has already mentioned it to her.
Letme is ready to announce his retirement, both for personal reasons and club reasons.
Objectively speaking, Yu Hui feels that Letme's performance on S8 is much better than that of S7 criminals.
Sheep Man is really not a joke. His stability is also the cornerstone of the RNG team. It's just a pity that S7 can't handle single belt, and the S8 World Championship is a top, middle and jungle version, and his positioning is ill-timed.
In fact, Xiangguo was also about to retire, but he was stopped by Yu Hui, and Yu Hui's backhand also came into play at this time.
The email Yu Hui sent to Principal Wang specifically stated that the incense pot could be introduced for one or six months.
She wrote a total of four player IDs in the email, namely: langx, 369, MLXG and Crisp.
Mr. Liu wanted to play LOL with his brothers, but he declined the principal's invitation. Langx and 369 had already arrived, and now he only needed a fragrant pot.
When Xiang Guo heard that IG was interested in recruiting him, he immediately gave up the idea of retiring.
To be honest, he doesn't really want to retire that much, but his agency contract is tightly tied by RNG. No club will only buy a professional contract, so if he doesn't play with RNG, he has no choice but to retire.
RNG didn't want Xiangguo to be bought by IG at first, and they wanted to ask for a lot of money in the transfer fee.
However, they were attracted by the contract that Yu Hui had prepared in advance for the principal.
In theory, IG's signing of MLXG is not a transfer, but a loan!
The principal of IG directly transferred the newly signed langx to RNG with zero transfer fee. In exchange, RNG leased MLXG's agency contract to IG for one year, and the two parties exchanged players.
RNG exempted IG from the MLXG brokerage contract for one year. The income from the S9 brokerage contract for this year belongs to IG. After the one-year period is up, the MLXG brokerage contract will automatically return to RNG.
IG can normally sign a one-year professional contract with MLXG.
From the very beginning, Yu Hui's operation of asking Principal Wang to buy Wolf Bank was actually to use the information gap to force RNG's choices in the transfer market.
The magical operation of this contract also opened the eyes of Principal Wang, saying that Yu Hui was not so cute in his heart~
RNG just has a gap in the starting top order at this time, and there is no top order suitable for RNG in terms of play style and positioning in the transfer market.
IG happened to have one on hand. It was like someone handing me a pillow when I was dozing off. Both parties had their own needs, and the rest fell into place.
Lang Xing, who was at home, looked confused. He felt that he had done nothing, but he was sold out three times in less than a month during the transfer period...
However, according to Meng Nan's explanation, Lang Xing didn't have any resentment. Before, he wanted to imitate Duke and live a life at IG. Now it seems good to be able to adjust the contract to RNG to start.
Yu Hui spent a lot of time on the fragrant pot, mainly because he didn’t have high confidence in S9’s IG.
S8's IG is so invincible, it would be strange for S9's fist not to weaken the heroes who are good at midfield and jungle into muggles. She herself is not afraid of the weakening of fist, but her teammates are!
King Ning puts aside those stream-of-consciousness claims. In the final analysis, his hero pool means something like hero coins...
In addition to Yu Hui being very tolerant, other teammates still like to suck blood and greed for money.
Although Xiangguo is a rhythm jungler like Ning Wang, Xiangguo has a brighter mind. He is good at both wild core and rhythm jungle heroes.
IG does not have the same restrictions on his style as RNG does, and there are so many things he can bring out.
To put it into perspective, Xiangguo is very good at directing his teammates to do things with him, and Baolan will also be mobilized by him. Moreover, his style is similar to that of King Ning, so it will be easy for other players on IG to get along well.
This is the most important thing to Yu Hui. After the failure to recruit Liu Qingsong, she knows very well who IG's biggest opponent will be in S9.
Yu Hui stretched and got up and started to wash up. Yu Shuang, who was cooking in the kitchen, stuck out his beautiful eyes and glared at her.
She asked Yu Hui to get up early in the morning, but she couldn't get up no matter what, even if she got slapped several times on the butt, she still stayed in bed moaning.
She was reluctant to hit herself, so she had no choice but to let her go.
Yu Hui was very thick-skinned and pretended not to notice his sister's reproachful gaze. She was content to sleep until noon, and even accepted the spanking.
The two had a simple lunch, and Yu Hui started the live broadcast again.
At this time in China, it is already past 7 pm and close to 8 pm, which is the time when most people get off work.
Although Yu Hui hasn't broadcast live for half a month, after the live broadcast was pushed, a large number of water friends still got wind of it, and the popularity of the live broadcast room soon reached the top of the platform.
The barrage in the live broadcast room has also skyrocketed, visible to the naked eye.
"??? Fish treasure? Alive?!"
"Asuna Tie Tie!!!"
"Honey! Did you finally remember your password? Wife!"
"Where are you talking about your horse upstairs? Yu Bao has been with me these days. How can I have time to talk to you, a licking dog?"
"The two scumbag guna upstairs!!!"
"Let me see who is talking nonsense, oh? It turns out to be a little brat~"
The live broadcast room immediately started a big fight. Seeing the live broadcast room becoming lively, Yu Hui also started to say hello as usual:
"Noon, everyone... No, good evening, everyone~"
"Good evening, wife~"
"Good evening. Is Asuna still abroad? Look at her, there is still sunshine coming in."
"Are you still on vacation and haven't come back yet? I'm so impressed~"
Yu Hui saw the barrage and responded smoothly: "Yes, I still have some things to do, so I haven't come back yet, but I have a lot of free time now, so I can live broadcast a few more times."
Other water friends immediately discovered the blind spot: "That's right! You're on vacation, why do you have so few live broadcasts? Only twice in total! Even donkeys don't dare to rest like this!"
“Lazy fish!!!”
"I wish you could broadcast fifteen times a day, but you broadcast once every fifteen days. It's really amazing~"
"Ahem! What the hell, don't I start broadcasting whenever I have free time to see my fans? I'll start ranking first. I haven't played much recently, I'm a bit raw."
Seeing that the barrage was all about jumping faces, Yu Hui coughed twice in embarrassment, trying to be cute and pass the test.
Fortunately, fans have become accustomed to the model of the main model who spends three days fishing and two days sifting. Moreover, fans also know that this year's competition is a super model, so they are not harsh on her.
Clicking on the top of the canyon in the national server, Yu Hui also chatted with the barrage while waiting to fill the position, and by the way, he answered the questions that everyone was more curious about.
For example, what is the positioning of the new hero Seraphine, and what will the accompanying skin be like? As a hero reference template, they naturally feel that Yu Hui knows a lot of information.
Of course, the most important thing is which hero she will choose for this year's champion skin.
"How's Ornn?"
Yu Hui joked. Unexpectedly, the water friends in the live broadcast room actually started to think:
"Aoun? It seems possible! YYDS, the sheep man!"
"It's indeed possible! Nightmare turns off the lights and makes four YYDS!"
Seeing the situation in the live broadcast room, Yu Hui quickly shouted: "Hey! I'm kidding! As for the champion skin, there is a high probability that it will be between Akali and Sword Princess. I haven't decided yet~"
The barrage in the live broadcast room began to flood the screen:
"Sword Demon: Shall I leave then?"
"Jace: Shall I go?"
"Urgot: Shall I go?"
"Upstairs, Urgot is too much~ But does the Sword Demon really have no skin? Jace also has no skin? These are two professional tool men, right~"
"It's a hammer, Asuna loves the new and hates the old!"
"Give it to Sword Girl, Akali already has KDA~ If I give it another champion skin, then Te Meow will be too close to my daughter~"
"But, Asuna's Akali is so handsome!"
"No, no, if you ask me, her Swordswoman's 100% block is the most handsome! In the later stage, it's like becoming invincible in a few seconds, just like that."
"Qiang!"
The prompt for successful game matching sounded, and Yu Hui changed the topic:
"Ahem, the game is in, let's watch the game~ Well, I filled up AD? So what AD do you want to see?"
