Chapter 139 Bp Proof Tournament

After listening to Chen Yufeng's report, Pei Qian nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, the effect was immediate; even other streaming platforms recognized it!

As the saying goes, your enemies know you best.

The fact that other streaming platforms had already seen that Rabbit Tail Live was no longer a threat was proof of Pei Qian's judgment.

This meant that Pei Qian could rest even easier when it came to Rabbit Tail Live!

"Very well done. I'm very satisfied."

"In addition to the usual expenses, I'll allocate another ten million for Rabbit Tail Live. You can spend it however you like, organize some activities."

Pei Qian didn't give unlimited funds, but limited the use of the money to "organizing some activities."

This was because he thought that if they were to poach streamers, they might poach some with potential, and streamer contracts were usually long-term, at least a year, which posed a certain long-term risk.

On the other hand, with Rabbit Tail Live's current low popularity, organizing activities probably wouldn't make much of a splash.

Chen Yufeng was taken aback. "Uh... President Pei, having funds is definitely a good thing, but organizing activities now..."

"Doesn't seem very cost-effective."

"Because the popularity of our website has just plummeted, it's best to recover slowly. Using strong medicine may not have a good effect, and may even cause some viewers to feel alienated."

Pei Qian smiled slightly. "You can't say that so definitively. It's all a matter of effort."

"As long as you do a good job with the activities, won't they have a promotional effect?"

"I believe in you. You can definitely do it!"

Chen Yufeng: "..."

He was about to say, "President Pei, you flatter me too much," but President Pei had already stood up, patted his butt, and prepared to leave.

"Alright, that's settled then."

"Hurry up and think about what kind of activities to organize. It doesn't have to be too complicated, just something simple."

Pei Qian didn't want to put too much pressure on Chen Yufeng, hoping that he would just muddle through and spend the money.

Chen Yufeng: "Okay, President Pei, I'll do my best..."

...

After seeing President Pei off, Chen Yufeng sat down at his desk, his brow furrowed in deep thought.

President Pei was as unfathomable as ever.

If President Pei didn't care about Rabbit Tail Live, why would he give them raises and extra money, more generously than other departments? But if President Pei cared about Rabbit Tail Live, why would he come up with a "mandatory one-hour" feature, causing Rabbit Tail Live's popularity to suffer a heavy blow, and showing no intention of changing it even now?

According to President Pei's efficiency, the ten million in funding should arrive soon, but Chen Yufeng had no idea what kind of activities to do.

He frowned, searching his computer for a long time, but couldn't think of any suitable activities.

Just as he was worrying, someone pushed the office door open and entered.

He looked up and saw that it was Ma Yang.

"President Ma! Why are you here? President Pei just left," Chen Yufeng said.

Ma Yang was taken aback. "Ah? Brother Qian came? Why didn't anyone tell me!"

Chen Yufeng quickly explained, "President Pei said not to notify you. He just came to briefly assign a task and then left. Nothing else."

Ma Yang had a solemn expression. "Hmm? Assigned a task? What task? President Pei's tasks must be completed seriously!"

Chen Yufeng briefly introduced President Pei's requirements.

A slightly puzzled expression appeared on Ma Yang's long face. "President Pei said as much as he didn't say anything. No requirements? Not even a direction."

Chen Yufeng nodded. "Yes, that's why I'm worried."

"Hey, why don't you think of one, President Ma?"

"You've always been President Pei's right-hand man, his trusted aide, and you're on the same wavelength as President Pei. Many of the ideas you've come up with have been adopted by President Pei, so an idea from you is sure to be reliable!"

Ma Yang swaggered over and sat down on the sofa. "No problem, I'll think of one."

"Hmm..."

"Organize an esports competition?"

Chen Yufeng nodded silently. This answer was within his expectations.

As expected, esports was one of the few hobbies in President Ma's life. When it came to organizing an activity, President Ma's first thought was an esports competition.

But the problem was... it didn't seem like a very good choice.

Chen Yufeng considered it and said, "An esports competition is indeed a good choice. After all, the audience with the highest stickiness to our website is the esports audience. While other types of viewers have been leaving in large numbers, many esports viewers still insist on watching the matches on our website."

"But..."

"We already have the iCL and gpL two competitions. The schedules for these two competitions are very tight, and at most, we can only organize some streamer matches and fan matches. How could the level of attention compare to these two regular leagues?"

This question stumped Ma Yang. A thoughtful expression appeared on his long face, and he didn't respond for a long time.

After thinking about it, it seemed that this was indeed the case.

But Lao Ma was clearly not someone who would give up easily. He tried hard to think. "So, what's the main problem?"

Chen Yufeng was silent for a moment. "Two problems. One is that the competition isn't professional enough to be interesting, and the second is that it's difficult for us to distinguish our competition from the two leagues."

Ma Yang thought for a moment. "Then why don't we organize a competition that is professional enough and can be distinguished from the other two leagues?"

Chen Yufeng opened his mouth, momentarily speechless.

He originally thought that President Ma's statement was nonsense. Those were professional leagues, with the top players. How could they organize a competition that was more professional than them?

But after thinking about it carefully, Chen Yufeng felt that there might actually be a way.

"If we have to organize it..."

"We can organize the original lineup of the two DGE teams, and then organize the members of the FV team and the SUG team to have a competition!"

"These four teams definitely represent the highest level of *gog* and *ioi* in the country."

"But... there are only two teams for each game. They can't fight. Can't we have the two DGE teams play a Bo10?"

Ma Yang thought for a moment. "Playing a Bo10 isn't bad either. As long as the competition is exciting. But what about the coaches on both sides? Who will do the Bp (ban/pick)?"

"Oh, I suddenly thought of a good way."

"How about we let the audience vote for the Bp?"

Chen Yufeng was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head. "How can that work? If the audience votes, they will definitely mess around. It will become an entertainment match, and the difference in strength between the two sides may be very large. It won't be very exciting."

Ma Yang said, "Of course, we don't vote for all the heroes. We can choose a few lineups to vote for!"

"Every time I watch a competition, there are always barrage coaches, saying that this coach's Bp is trash, and that team's lineup is not good. But some people will spray back, saying that the Bp is fine, and that the players are trash."

"This has become an unsolved mystery. Is the Bp not good, or are the players not good? I've always wanted to know!"

"Let's organize a 'Bp proof tournament' to answer this confusion!"

Chen Yufeng's eyes lit up. "I understand, President Ma!"

"You mean, we'll organize a competition that only includes the members of the original DGE team one and team two, as well as the FV team and the SUG team, and divide them into *gog* and *ioi* groups."

"Then we'll find some controversial Bp schemes online."

"The characteristics of these schemes are: the coach and players think they can be played, and they are selected in the main competition, but the barrage audience thinks they can't be played."

"We'll ask two teams to fight each other to verify whether the lineup is not good or the players are not good!"

"If we do this, the audience should be very interested in watching it!"

Chen Yufeng could even imagine what the barrage would be like after the competition was organized.

If the "brain-dead Bp" that the barrage coaches thought would win, there would definitely be a large group of people刷 (shuā - streaming term meaning "spamming") "the brain-dead is blaming the Bp, it's just that the team members are not strong enough, and the coach is not responsible." Conversely, if the "brain-dead Bp" that the barrage coaches thought would lose, there would definitely be a large group of people刷 "See? I said this Bp is trash. Even if you replace it with five top players, you still can't win. I said this coach is useless!"

It's hard to say whether the excitement of the competition can exceed the two leagues, iCL and gpL, but the intensity of the barrage will definitely not be lacking, and the topicality of the competition will definitely not be low!

Moreover, the audience gets tired of watching ordinary activities or competitions after they're held once, but this competition can be held for a long time.

Because every time the version is updated, the tactics of the teams will change, and there will always be new "brain-dead Bp" that needs to be verified by this "Bp proof tournament."

Although the original DGE team members have been scattered to various teams and are all playing as main players in their respective positions, they have good relationships with each other and still have a tacit understanding. If the two DGE teams can be reorganized, they can use the time when there are no competitions to play this "Bp proof tournament."

President Pei's promotional funds are very sufficient, and the relationship between the various teams and the Tenda esports department is also very good. Giving these teams some sponsorship will definitely get everyone to cooperate.

Even if it's done well, the coaches of the various teams will also pay attention to this competition to see how strong some Bp schemes are when put into top teams, and to see what details the top teams will have when playing this lineup. This is also a good thing for improving the level of the entire region.

The most important thing is that only Rabbit Tail Live can organize this competition, because there is no other streaming platform that can afford to invite the members of the original DGE club!

Chen Yufeng immediately cheered up. He was a little listless before, but now he suddenly found a new direction.

"President Ma, this idea is really great! You really are on the same wavelength as President Pei!"

"This activity definitely meets President Pei's requirements!"

"I'll go contact them immediately to determine the competition schedule based on the times of the two leagues, gpL and iCL, and arrange it as soon as possible!"
