Chapter 440 Team Feature
All of the Clubs were worried because of this.
Meanwhile, at Happy Internet Cafe, Ye Xiu and Chen Guo were also looking at the news and the discussions that were being spread around by the players.
They...... were being a bit naive with their team roster, but theyre being pretty mature in hyping the team up. Ye Xiu commented.
What do you mean?
See, they intentionally broke the message into two parts. First, they announced that I had joined Guild Heavenly Justice through the forums. Then, they released news that they were creating a team through the eSport platforms. But did they ever say that I joined their team? No, right? Ye Xiu said, This is to protect them from any form of criticism down the line. If they had said that I had joined their team, they would clearly be lying!
But theyre intentionally misleading everyone! Chen Guo said.
Obviously.
Theyve thought a lot about it! Chen Guo disdained.
If they dont take their time to think, they wont be alive for very long. Ye Xiu said.
How come I didnt really see any thought being put into their team roster? Chen Guo said.
Youngsters are quite naive. Ye Xiu said, But if they were thinking about amazing the world as soon as they had began, dont you think they would put quite a lot of thought into it?
Is their skill really not that good or were you intentionally provoking them? Chen Guo asked.
Am I really that mean? Ye Xiu was speechless.
Chen Guo thought about it for a moment before finally saying: If you were being nice, then was it because you pointed out that their skill wasnt good enough or was it because you had provoked them to improve?
Its because I pointed out that their skill wasnt good enough, of course. Ye Xiu said.
How are they when compared to me? Chen Guo asked.
You? Ye Xius expression already told her of his reply.
Youre real nice, arent you! Chen Guo grinded her teeth.
Listening to the news and looking at the drama, this was what Chen Guo did on her computer. Ye Xiu, on the other hand, continued to level. It was a pity that he couldnt do any quests or dungeons in the Heavenly Domain. Although the experience from wild monsters in the Heavenly Domain was a lot better than they were in the normal servers, his leveling speed couldnt compare to the players who gained experience through the many Level 50 dungeons. In the normal servers, the players had already reached Level 51. In the Heavenly Domain, Ye Xiu didnt spend any less time than they had, but he was only two thirds of the way to Level 50.
There was nothing Ye Xiu could do in this Level 50-55 range. No matter how hard he tried, it would be very hard for him to maintain this leveling speed, so he wanted to hurry and get past this difficult leveling range. Especially because the current situation was now stable, Ye Xiu needed to take full advantage of it. After getting past this level range, from Level 55 to 70, the Heavenly Domain would have plenty of dungeons to run and many quests to complete. Leveling in the dungeon was much safer when compared to leveling in the wild and the rewards were much better too.
The sensation outside of the game had slowly trickled into the game. First was Guild Heavenly Justice. When the members had heard that their boss was going to form a team and enter the pro scene, they immediately became extremely proud of themselves. The current guild members of Heavenly Justice would naturally be Loulan Slashs first supporters.
Because of the number of players in the Heavenly Domain, there were ten global chat channels, which players called, Channel 1, Channel 2, Channel 3, Channel 4...... all ten channels were discussing this news. With a team being formed, the first thing players wanted to know was who the team members would be.
Loulan Slashs advertising was really quite good and he understood what the players wanted. They had Lord Grim attract everyones attention. But after that, they maintained the mysterious atmosphere and didnt reveal any of their team members.
That evening, on the eSports channel, the creation of the team was the lead story. In the following article, they highlighted a few classes, holding the players in suspension. So far, the players knew which classes would be on the team, but who were the players exactly? It was still a mystery.
The Club guilds were still enduring silently. There would always be teams that would join the Alliance ever year, but this was the first time the team had rooted in the Glory game. In addition, Loulan Slash and Lord Grim were already famous players. The amount of attention the team had attracted was absolutely unprecedented. It would be unwise for the Clubs to stop the waves from flowing. Even Excellent Era wouldnt dare do such a thing.
They could only wait for the waves to pass. The one thing they didnt know was that Heavenly Justice had talked about all this before.
Not a bad job! Of all the teams over the years, youve probably done the best. Ye Xiu said to Loulan Slash.
Its not bad, its not bad. Loulan Slash had suffered a large blow in the Arena, but was comforted greatly by their successful marketing.
Next, I suggest that you slowly release information little by little. Ye Xiu said.
Oh?
With the huge sensation you have created, the teams now hate you to death. The foundation you now have in the game is a clear target for them to suppress you with. But with the amount of attention you have on you right now, they cant rashly initiate a war with you. Do you understand what Im saying? Ye Xiu said.
So youre saying that we should slowly release information in order to prolong the amount of attention we get? Loulan Slash said.
Correct. The fact that your foundation comes from within game is different from the past teams, so you have to hurry and assimilate your power in-game into the Club guilds balance of power and restrict the Clubs from making any large movements. Only by doing this will you be able to develop smoothly. Ye Xiu said.
How complicated....... Loulan Slash said.
Did you really think that the pro scene was just a competition, match after match? Ye Xiu said.
If not?
Its a business. Ye Xiu sighed.
Loulan Slash went silent for a moment before replying: How boring.
It really is. Ye Xiu agreed.
You cant always do as you like in order to survive in this world. Is it this concept? Loulan Slash said.
As long as you understand :) Ye Xiu sent a smiley face: Unless you only want to walk freely for a short while. In that case, you dont need to think about all this.
Thats not what I want to do. Our goal is to be Champions! Loulan Slash said.
So you have to create a good foundation. Champions arent created in one day. Your starting point is very good. Dont waste this great opportunity you have. Ye Xiu said.
Our starting point is good? Loulan Slash said sullenly, What Im worried about is that with all of the attention we now have, our actual skill wont match this popularity! When we got into the Alliance and the results came out, if its too terrible, wont we immediately lose a whole bunch of supporters?
Yes, thats true. Right now, you only have popularity and attention. If you want to turn this into team fans, then it needs to be done through the teams performance. But you have to understand that a teams fans isnt always gotten through achievements, but through the teams features.
Features?
It could be a feature that players can resonate with or a unique feature that no other team has. Ill give you an example: land. The land your base of operations is located is a feature that many players can resonate with. Ye Xiu said.
That counts too! Loulan Slash began to sweat.
Of course, City H clearly has a lot of Excellent Era fans. City S, where the All Stars took place, has a lot of Samsara fans. Where do you live? Ye Xiu asked.
I live in City B. Loulan Slash said.
City B....... Ye Xiu sent a helpless emoji. It seemed like everything he said was for nothing.
Loulan Slash also understood: City B already has two teams......
If you go, youll be the third.....
One of them is even Tiny Herb, the Champion team! We will have to try and win over Tiny Herb fans? Loulan Slash wanted to cry.
Its very challenging isnt it? Ye Xiu said.
Too challenging....... Loulan Slash was already choking.
Land is an intrinsic feature. Its a relatively simple one. The others such as ace players or characters are also a type of feature. Among these, theres actually one class thats missing. I dont know if youve noticed it or not. Ye Xiu said.
Oh?
Did you watch this years All Star Weekend? Ye Xiu asked.
Of course! Loulan Slash said.
Among the All Star players, not a single player used a Summoner. Ye Xiu said.
Oh...... Loulan Slash recalled. It was true.
So if you can push out an All Star level Summoner, youll definitely win a lot of Summoner fans. Ye Xiu said.
Summoner...... we dont have one either..... Loulan Slash said.
Its just an example. Ye Xiu said.
Hearing God speak, why does it feel like we hadnt plan enough for our team? Loulan Slash cried.
Uh, Im just giving examples. Ye Xiu said.
We dont have any features! Loulan Slash said.
Then you can only decide on your position. Youll have to know what type of style you want the team to play. Ye Xiu said.
........... The ellipses let Ye Xiu know that Loulan Slash hadnt had any of those thoughts.
Right now its February. Theres still three more months in this season and then a three month summer break. Youll have a good half a year to prepare before the season starts again in September. Youll have to find the correct way to improve yourselves. Bullying normal players in the Arena wont help you much anymore. Ye Xiu said.
D*mn! You even know about that? Loulan Slash said.
Know what? Ye Xiu wasnt sure.
You dont know? Nevermind then....... Loulan Slash felt a bit embarrassed. After being crushed by Ye Xiu in the Arena last time, they went into the Arena to regain their confidence by bullying normal players. Even though they had won every battle, they still werent able to gain back their confidence. When Ye Xiu said it, Loulan Slash thought that God knew about their ridiculous actions.
Its not that there arent any experts in the Arena. Its just that its too difficult to find them. Itll mostly be a waste of time. You have to fight with real experts and gain experience. Under harsh conditions, practice your synergy and find your own strategy that fits you. The teams members can be switched, but if you can maintain the same unique playing style, thatll be a very valuable asset to your team. This is a teams feature.
A feature again...... Loulan Slash was foaming at the mouth. After talking for quite a while, they came back to same issue.
