The start of this competition was actually very boring to the viewers in the official live-stream.
It was all a normal start. There was no invasion, no first-tier team. It was just a team that followed the prescribed order and invaded after farming. They had a set of skills and snatched a few more wild monsters. What was the point?
Even if all of those monsters were added together, they would not be able to make up for much of the economic gap. It would only cost about one or two hundred yuan on the economic panel.
What’s more, the official commentator also felt that this was not important. After all, it could only be considered equal within 1,000 economic differences. It could only be considered a clear disadvantage when the economic difference reached about 3,000 could.
The official commentator felt that this opening would not affect the winning rate and direction of this round at all.
However, the two professional players on Bunny Tail Live-Stream did not think so.
They had already foreseen the minute difference in the speed of both junglers in farming from the beginning. They predicted this invasion and pointed out the chain reaction after this invasion.
After this jungler was crippled, they had no choice but to go home, their top lane did not dare to press the line like before. The slight advantage they had against the line was gone. Even though neither side went to catch the top lane, the situation on the top lane had already changed.
On the other hand, the jungler who had gained the upper hand not only had an economic lead after eating the opponent’s creeps, but more importantly, he was leading in terms of experience. After that, he went straight to the second half of the zone to continue looking for opportunities to capture and invade.
That was because there were no more wild monsters in the first half of the opponent’s zone. If the opponent’s jungler wanted to replenish his development, they could only farm wild monsters in the second half and catch people. If he forcefully caught the top lane, the risk would be too high. Even if he succeeded, he might not earn it. He might kill people, but he could not kill wild monsters. If the opponent’s jungler reversed the wild monsters in the second half, he would lose out.
Under such circumstances, the jungler who had the upper hand had full control of the initiative and could roughly guess the opponent’s current actions. In addition, there was a gap in the level of the two junglers to begin with, a small disadvantage in the early stages was quickly rolled up into a snowball!
The audience watching the official commentary did not know about this. They only knew how it would turn out: the jungler here had been caught and crippled in the jungle; when he went home and tried to catch the bottom lane, he was ambushed again and the bottom lane exploded…
However, they did not know that the deeper reason behind this was because of the few seconds that they were slower in clearing the field.
Once this weakness was caught by the other party, it all went downhill. The various “brain-destroying” actions that the audience saw later on were not actually because this player was really that bad, but because his route of action had been predicted. Between bad and the extremely bad, he could only be forced to choose the relatively good option. However, this could not reverse the situation, and it still made him look very stupid.
The audience watching the unofficial commentary on Bunny Tail live-stream were very surprised to find that the competition was so good?
Previously, many people watched the competition just for fun. After a competition, the only thing that could leave an impression was the operational scenes of a few days’ show, or the team battle that determined the victory in two or three waves. However, this content could easily be replaced. After a few hours, they would forget everything.
However, the commentator on Bunny Tail’s live-stream did not focus on the team battle. They were analyzing more of the various arrangements and preparations of both sides before the team battle even though they were also very passionate when commentating on the team battle. Their strength was thinking of ways to expand their advantage and the weak side was thinking of ways to break the stalemate.
The official commentator spent most of his time talking about what was happening in the competition. He focused on the key group battle.
On the other hand, the commentary for Bunny Tail’s live-stream was completely different. Most of the time, they were digging through the current situation of the competition and analyzing the tactical arrangements and motives of both sides. They would also explain in depth about the position of the eyes and the intentions of both sides. The passionate commentary on the team battle was only an added bonus.
Various’ 666 ‘bullet screen comments floated past. The commentary of Bunny Tail’s live-stream broadened the audience’s horizons.
“Detailed, detailed, detailed! Too detailed!”
“Why are there so many things to pay attention to?”
“A single eye level experience allowed two mid-tier players to advance two levels to guarantee an advantage? That’s too detailed!”
“He actually guessed that the other party was going to invade the jungle. Is this a spoiler?”
“As expected of a professional gamer. His understanding of the game is really good!”
“I was wondering why some professional players would sleepwalk and appear in strange places. Previously, the official commentators always said that they were lost and made a mistake due to the pressure. Now, it looks like they were not lost at all. That was part of the tactical arrangement. They were just caught and cracked!”
“This is a professional competition. Any mistake would be caught and expanded infinitely. Sometimes, you can’t win even though you didn’t make any big mistakes!”
“Bunny Tail Live-Stream is indeed Boss Pei’s live-stream platform. It’s really professional! Goodbye, official commentator. From now on, I’ll only watch the competition on Bunny Tail Live-Stream!”
“The official commentators are all platinum and diamond level. They can understand the competition only because they are reviewing the situation on the field. Some players are indeed beaten badly, but that is also a tactical target. It is the problem of the entire team. It cannot simply be summed up as ‘lousy’ or ‘mistakes’!”
“I’ve watched all the previous competitions for nothing. What’s the point of watching a team battle if it’s just a headcount? This kind of early-stage tactical game consists of precise resources to an eye level, a group of wild monsters, and a few thousand yuan of economic advantage in a few seconds. That’s the true charm of E-Sports!”
The bullet screen comments in the live-stream were rolling crazily. Obviously, many viewers’ understanding of the game had been completely overturned.
Many viewers had mistakenly thought that the competition was nothing more than a high-end Five Black Ranking Competition. It was just that their individual strengths were stronger and the team coordination was better.
However, after listening to the commentary and analyzing the details of the competition, he realized that they were not the same thing!
The gap between top professional teams and ordinary professional teams was even bigger than the gap between diamonds and gold in the rankings in the competition.
These deep and detailed tactical games were the most exciting part of the competition.
Previously, they had thought that the official commentary was not bad. However, compared to the commentary on Bunny Tail Live-Stream, it was obvious who was better!
Many people not only gave small gifts but also posted on various forums to promote the unofficial commentary on Bunny Tail.
“Everyone, go to Bunny Tail live-stream to watch ICL’s live-stream! Two professional players are commentating. They have completely understood the official game!”
“It’s so exciting. The two commentators are acting like they’re commanding the players.”
“I think only professional team coaches and analysts would be able to see these details. We’re really profiting by being able to see them!”
Soon, the unofficial commentary on Bunny Tail’s live-stream spread throughout IOI’s gamers!
Previously, everyone had been discussing who had committed the most crimes and who had the worst statistics. They had also been discussing who was the MVP and who had made a name for themselves. In short, the topics of discussion were all superficial.
However, after the competition ended, everyone was discussing the speed of both sides farming, setting of vision, tactical choices, and so on.
After the competition ended, the official commentator gave the MVP to the top-tier players. That was because, from the data, the top-tier players had the most beautiful data and performed well in the team.
However, the commentator for Bunny Tail Live-Stream gave the MVP to the jungler. That was because the top-tier players made a small mistake on their own during the linear period, causing the line to be difficult. It was the jungler invading the opposite side that greatly relieved the pressure on the top-tier. After that, the top-tier players fattened up through gank and reverse ambush, so the top-tier players could only take over the competition later on.
What’s more, this jungler had performed well in both the early and mid-term team battles. The data did not look very good but he died as a sacrifice for the greater good of the team. It could be said that his death was very valuable.
Therefore, after much consideration, Bunny Tail Live-Stream still awarded the MVP to the jungler.
This MVP would have looked a little strange if not for the foreshadowing during the commentary period. After all, the jungler’s KDA was not good and there was no particularly exciting operating scene.
However, the audience who had watched the entire competition did not have any objections to the MVP selection. Instead, it seemed very inappropriate to give the MVP to the top laner!
After the MVP selection was released, various different voices appeared in the official live-streaming platforms of the ICL league.
“This MVP should be given to the jungler, those who know, understand.”
“The official commentary is not good. I suggest that everyone watch the commentary from Bunny Tail Live-Stream.”
“It’s so much less fun to watch the official commentary without noticing all the details. Those who can really understand the competition are all watching Bunny Tail Live-Stream. There’s nothing wrong with that, right?”
The super admin of the platform wanted to interfere, but they could not because there were too many people!
Even if the keywords were blocked, there were ten thousand ways to express ‘Bunny Tail Live-Stream’ on the bullet screen.
Thus, many people clicked on the live-stream of the ICL league live-stream out of curiosity. After watching it for a few minutes, they could not return!
From the tactical forecast before the competition, to the BP analysis, to the tactical arrangements in the competition, the players’ improvisation on the spot… The official commentator and the two professional players invited by Bunny Tail live-stream were not on the same level at all. The difference was obvious at a glance!
…
At the same time, Long Yu Corporation.
Zhao Xuming had just ended the call with Zhu Yan and found out about the unofficial commentary on Bunny Tail.
The Vice Presidents of these live-stream platforms were anxious again.
The delay was gone, Bunny Tail Live-Stream was still snatching people from them!
All the major live-stream platforms had a group of people advertising on their own. Those who went to Bunny Tail live-stream basically would not come back. The popularity was gradually decreasing. Who could stand it?
Zhao Xuming was speechless.
At first, he thought that this matter was over. All the major platforms would broadcast the ICL league together and take advantage of their own popularity. His main focus would then be on other aspects of work.
However, there were more problems now!
There would always be a winner no matter how the ICL league developed and this winner would always be Boss Pei!
At the beginning, Boss Pei had spent a huge sum of money to buy the exclusive broadcasting rights of the ICL league. It brought a huge wave of popularity to Bunny Tail’s live-stream. At the same time, it had also established the impression that all the data on Bunny Tail’s live-stream were real data.
Boss Pei distributed the broadcasting rights for the ICL league when the popularity was almost done. In the end, he did not spend a single cent to get the broadcasting rights. What’s more, he made a huge profit.
The thirty-second delay did not last long, but it left an impression on the audience that ‘Bunny Tail Live-Streaming is Faster’ and poached a group of viewers from other platforms.
Now that everyone had finally returned to the same starting line and the unofficial commentary had been a huge success, they had to continue snatching users from other platforms!
Of course, Zhao Xuming knew very well that Boss Pei could not be blamed for this.
Boss Pei was seriously trying to make the unofficial commentary good. However, he did not expect the official commentary to be so lousy that it would shatter at the slightest touch.
At the end of the day, these official commentators were too useless!
With such good resources and generous remuneration, he basically would not accept too much competition from the outside world. Yet, his understanding of the game was completely destroyed!
It might be unfair to compare commentators at the platinum and diamond level’s understanding of the game with active professional players, but the audience did not care about that.
What the audience wanted to see was professional analysis. If you didn’t have it, then I’m sorry. We want to watch someone else.
The more Zhao Xuming thought about it, the angrier he became. He had spent so much money to support the official commentator but in the end, he was inferior to the unofficial stream that Bunny Tail had pulled up at the last minute. This was ridiculous!
