Chapter 1367: The New Champion Skin

Once he asked that, everyone fell silent.

Even though these words did not sound nice, everyone knew that such an extreme situation might really happen.

What’s more, it might happen soon.

There were not many people in IOI’s domestic server to begin with. Would it be able to support an entire server after the last struggle?

The large number of players lost would further aggravate the collapse of the matching mechanism and ranking mechanism. It would be difficult for players to be matched to a match with similar strength. The game experience would become worse. Naturally, the loss would cause a chain reaction.

Once the number of players decreased, the number of people watching the compet.i.tion would naturally decrease.

If the popularity decreased, the commercial value of the entire league would decrease.

At that time, the major capitalist would no longer look favorably on the ICL league, and the clubs would no longer be able to see profits from the IOI branch. Would the entire ICL league still be able to be held?

One of the upper echelons of Finger Games said, “If that really happens, we can only transfer the players’ data through the servers and merge with the newly opened Southeast Asian servers or Korea servers to become sub servers. We can cancel the ICL league and merge the ICL league team with the other compet.i.tion zones nearby to maintain the commercial value of the league.”

Another executive frowned and said, “However, this is equivalent to closing the server. It will cause players to lose more players. After all, most people are not willing to play with players who are not in their own language, and they don’t want to be very troublesome to migrate data.”

Chrétien sighed. “That can’t be helped. We’ve already suffered a crus.h.i.+ng defeat in the market of the China region. No matter what we do now, we can only choose a more presentable ending.”

Jin Yong understood this situation all too well.

This was just like many games. In the later stages, players in the server would naturally be lost. Whether it was the uniform or not, it would be a wrong choice.

If they were not convinced, many players would say that the entire server’s ecology had become rigid. There was no compet.i.tion, there was no fun to play, and they wanted to give up more and more.

Combining the servers would arouse the disgust of those players who only wanted to slack off and farm. They were originally ranked near the top in the old servers, but they were bullied in the new servers. They felt that they had become weaklings again and might lose them immediately.

What’s more, the event for the servers was very intense. It would indeed be exciting for a period of time after it was done. However, it would quickly enter a rigid state because of the loss of players.

Thus, gamers would complain about continuing to integrate the game. Once they do, another batch of gamers would be lost. It would be a vicious cycle.

In other words, he would not be able to stop once the server was closed. In fact, he would be drinking poison to quench his thirst.

IOI’s local server was in a similar situation now. No matter what they did, players would be lost. Changing the way they handled it would only be to change the way they lost players.

However, if it really reached that stage, it would not do if they were not convinced because the players’ basic gaming experience might not be guaranteed.

Chrétien looked at Jin Yong. “You haven’t expressed your opinion since just now. What do you think we should do?”

Jin Yong could not help but shrink his neck.

Don’t ask me, how would I know!

Given the current situation, unless Boss Pei personally came, no one would be able to save him!

However, everyone looked over. Jin Yong could not shrink anymore. He could only bite the bullet and answer, “I think FV’s new champion skin can be made faster. Make it look better…”

He did not dare to discuss the matter of the uniform. He had no right to comment.

The final decision would be whether the server was suitable or not. It would probably only be finalized after the upper echelons of Finger Games discussed and reported to the upper echelons of Dayak Corporation.

Thus, Jin Yong could only talk about such unimportant things.

In any case, I spoke at the meeting. Please give me less blame. Thank you.

However, Chrétien’s eyes lit up. “Eh? That’s a very important point. We overlooked it previously!”

“The champion skin of FV Team this time should indeed be new. It should be obviously different from last year’s. No matter what, this will definitely be useful to retain players and FV Team’s fans. It’s also a relatively easy and risk-free measure.”

Everyone nodded without any objections.

The upper echelons of Dayak Corporation would definitely support him with both hands if he could make skins and earn a wave of money from IOI’s local server.

When the time came to make the skin look better, it would be easy to say and nice to hear. It would also show that Finger Games respected and valued the champions.h.i.+p that FV Team had painstakingly won.

Chrétien said to Jin Yong, “Communicate with FV Team about the champion’s skin. Satisfy all their requirements as much as possible.”

There would still be some language and cultural gap if he were to directly let the skin designer of Finger Games communicate. Thus, Chrétien wanted Jin Yong to be the middleman and push the production of the champion’s skin. He wanted to ensure that FV Team members were as satisfied as possible.

Jin Yong nodded. “Alright, I’ll start pus.h.i.+ng this matter immediately when I get back!”

…

At the same time, FV team members were shopping in the biggest shopping mall in the area, happily enjoying victory.

FV Team’s boss, Wu Yue, and Captain Pan Ying, were a little tired from shopping. They found a cafe and prepared to sit down and rest for a while.

“Did you see the topic online? What do you think?” Wu Yue asked.

The compet.i.tion might have been very b.u.mpy but the players were still very excited after the compet.i.tion. All of them held their cell phones and scrolled for a long time. They must have seen the hot searches.

Pan Ying thought for a moment. “Transfer to GOG? I think everyone’s original intention is good, but it’s still a little too idealistic.”

“The five of us have always been playing IOI. We have to train from scratch to transfer to GOG. We’re already at this age. I’m afraid we can’t even play the A-Level Compet.i.tion. We might as well retire directly.”

“What’s more, FV Team won two IOI world champions.h.i.+p no matter what. Isn’t it a little hard to say that they transferred to GOG?”

“Boss Pei’s original intention for buying FV Team was for us to enter IOI. If we transfer to GOG, would Boss Pei agree?”

Wu Yue said, “I’ve called Boss Pei. Boss Pei said that he will respect the decisions of the players. It doesn’t matter to Boss Pei whether FV Team continues to stay in IOI.”

“Boss Pei is very open about this. Don’t worry.”

Pan Ying still shook his head. “Let’s think about this at length. Finger Games might not be human but we still have some feelings for IOI. We can’t make up our minds for now.”

Wu Yue nodded. “Yes, there’s no hurry. We can think about it at length.”

“By the way, have you thought of a theme for the champion’s skin this year?”

Pan Ying shook his head. “I haven’t thought about it.”

“The used heroes are heroes that I don’t like. What’s more, they all look strange. There’s really nothing to choose from.”

The strong heroes in this version were all the unique heroes of some teams in Europe and America. Everyone knew that the games produced by Europe and America would have strange characters, but the players in Europe and America liked them very much.

Thus, FV Team had been training hard for a long time to win the champions.h.i.+p. They had been training since the group stages and had not chosen the hero they liked at all.

That was because they had never thought that they would definitely win the champions.h.i.+p. They did not dare to slack off in every match. Thus, they basically did not like the heroes that they could choose.

Naturally, he was not interested in making champion skins for heroes that he did not like. He could only make generals out of nothing.

Wu Yue pondered for a moment. “Sigh, I suddenly thought of a solution.”

“Can you make the champion skins of these heroes into your favorite heroes?”

Pan Ying was stunned. “Huh? Catching children? Will that work?”

Wu Yue said, “Tell the official platform it’s their business whether they agree or not. What’s more, this is completely within the rules. Why can’t they do it?”

Pan Ying did not expect such a method. He could not react in time.

What Wu Yue meant was that he could make these heroes that he did not like into their original heroes. Wouldn’t that make them more pleasing to the eye?

As for how it would look, that was Finger Games’ skin designer. He had to trust Finger Games’ professionalism.

After some consideration, Pan Ying said, “It seems… to be an idea. I’ll talk to the other team members later. If they agree, we can try it this way.”

“For example, add some of our favorite hero elements in the skins of these heroes, such as weapons, style, characteristics, and so on. It should feel quite interesting.”

Pan Ying thought about it and suddenly felt that this approach was quite interesting. He imagined that the scene would be more interesting, so he agreed to this plan.

…

At the same time, it was already night time in China.

Pei Qian switched on the television of the Aili Island website. As he waited for ‘Successor’ to broadcast, he flipped through the discussions about ‘Successor’ on his cell phone.

The good news was that even though GOG and IOI’s international compet.i.tion had ended, everyone’s enthusiasm for discussion was still very high. It would still occupy the entire internet for a period of time.

There were also a large number of UP Masters doing video a.n.a.lysis and summarizing the international compet.i.tion on the Aili Island website. Professional a.n.a.lysis and teasing were basically a harmonious state. There were also comments below many slightly related video areas.

To Pei Qian, this was a blessing in disguise. After all, the more popular it was, the less popular ‘Successor’ would obtain. It was a good way to split the profits.

There was nothing new about everyone’s discussion of ‘Successor’. Obviously, everyone was waiting for the premiere on Aili Island.

There were actually many posts that did not understand the truth and expressed antic.i.p.ation.

Pei Qian smiled. Everyone, continue looking forward to it.. In any case, once these three episodes were released, the audience that should have run away would have run away.
