Chapter 944: The GPL Officials Want To Find Pro Players To Do Comntary!
The two competitions for the GPL league Saturday were over at night.
The host introduced the schedule for tomorrow’s competition after the interview. Then, the audience began to leave in an orderly manner.
The two official comntators heaved a sigh of relief. Today’s work was finally done. They could go back and have a good rest.
It had to be said that comntating was actually a physical job. It looked simple and could be done with words, but there were actually many tricks.
The comntator had to be extrely focused throughout the entire process. He could not leave out too many details or make too many mistakes. Sotis, after work, he had to go back to revise so gaming knowledge and surf the internet to understand the latest . If he cooperated with the official platform to film so other programs, he could easily work for more than ten hours.
However, before the two comntators could take off their headphones, they heard the director say, “Don’t leave yet. Co to the lounge. Boss Zhao has sothing to say.”
The so-called Boss Zhao was definitely Long Yu Corporation’s Zhao Xuming.
Both comntators were stunned.
They knew Zhao Xuming, but they did not really et or interact much with him. That was because Zhao Xuming’s level was too high. Even if there was anything, he would talk to the director and director of the ICL league project team, and then be conveyed to the comntators by the director.
What did it an for Zhao Xuming to et them personally this ti?
The two of them went to the lounge backstage with trepidation.
However, they were stunned the mont they entered the lounge.
There were so many people!
It was not just the two of them. Even the other comntators who were not scheduled for the day were present.
All the staff in charge of OB and backstage data analysis were present apart from them. The entire lounge was filled with people.
Obviously, Zhao Xuming had already found these people while the competition was still ongoing.
Everyone was confused by such a huge formation. They did not know what Boss Zhao was up to. They were very worried.
Zhao Xuming’s expression was not very good. He clicked on the remote control and a recording of the competition started playing on the big television in the lounge.
The two comntators were stunned. Wasn’t this the competition that they had just comntated on today?
However, upon closer inspection, they realized that this was not their version!
Obviously, this was a recording of Bunny Tail live-streaming the competition today.
Since Zhao Xuming did not speak, the others naturally did not dare to speak either. The entire lounge was very quiet. Only the voice of the comntator from Bunny Tail Live-Stream echoed in the entire conference room.
“We saw on the official screen that the winning rate of one tower is as high as 74%, but in fact, this team has several early-stage tactics. We can’t generalize them...”
At first, the comntators did not understand Zhao Xuming’s intentions. However, as they listened, they could tell that sothing was wrong.
Obviously, Bunny Tail’s comntary was much more professional than theirs!
The content of their analysis was too superficial for the sa data. The comntator at Bunny Tail Live-Stream could always dig out more information through other data.
What’s more, the gap between the two sides was not limited to that. From the early stages of the tactical prediction, to the BP, and then to the detailed explanation during the competition... The two comntators today could be said to have been completely crushed by the comntators from Bunny Tail live-stream!
The two comntators’ expressions turned ugly.
Zhao Xuming was playing the Bunny Tail Live-Stream in front of so many people. It was equivalent to a public execution. Who could stand that!
How unlucky!
What was even more terrifying was that the comntary video from Bunny Tail Live-Stream had most likely spread across the entire internet. Now, all the audience in the ICL league had already seen the comparison between the two comntators!
The other comntators also lowered their heads, feeling both relieved and worried.
Relieved because they were not in the line-up today. They were not the first to step into the pit and get whipped in front of everyone. Worried because they were worried that their standard was about the sa as the two comntators today. They would still be hung up and beaten up when it was their turn to comntate!
It was not only the comntators. OB and the team that provided the data also understood Boss Zhao’s intentions.
Could it be that all the bla was on the comntator, and they were alright?
Of course not!
The OB on Bunny Tail Live-Stream was going to OB according to the comntator’s requirents. If the comntator wanted to see farming by both sides, the OB would focus the main cara on both sides of the jungle.
Thus, Bunny Tail Live-Stream and the official OB were very different.
They even gave different MVPs in the end.
All in all, Bunny Tail Live-Stream was indeed much better than the official platform. What’s more, it was better in all aspects. From the comntator to OB to the data support, it was basically a complete crushing.
Zhao Xuming only pressed the pause button on the remote control after all the matches were played.
“Do you understand why I called you for a eting now?”
“You are the official comntators and should have the highest standards. Yet, you were beaten by an unofficial comntator on a live-stream platform!”
“The public opinion on the internet has exploded. There are a lot of viewers in the official live-streams on various live-stream platforms. How embarrassing!”
“All of you are professionals with rich working experience in this industry. How did it beco like this? Is there a problem with your ability, attitude, or both?”
Zhao Xuming’s series of questions stumped everyone.
The few comntators silently cried out in their hearts.
Can you bla us?
You are comparing us with the active professional players of FV Team Two in terms of understanding of the ga. Wasn’t that a joke? We are only platinum and diamond level!
There was a huge difference when comparing to the understanding of professional gars.
What’s more, they had been comntating in this way for other gas. There’s nothing wrong with that, right? We’ve been working hard every day to get off work, train our mouths, and understand ga knowledge. We’re already working very hard, alright?
Why do we look like a bunch of useless people waiting to die?
However, they only dared to lant in their hearts.
They had also watched the comntary video of Bunny Tail live-stream. They had to admit that there was a clear gap between the two sides.
Now, they could neither admit that there was a problem with their ability nor their attitude. No matter which one it was, there would be a huge problem if they admitted it.
What exactly was the problem then?
In the end, the director was smarter. He stood up and said, “Boss Zhao, please calm down.”
“Erm, I have to admit that our comntator and the two professional players that Bunny Tail Live-Stream found are indeed different in terms of understanding of the ga. We have to admit this.”
“Our comntators are professionals after all. We are better at comntating than professional players, but we are not as good at understanding the ga.”
“However, this problem is not difficult to solve. We just have to add so professional players to the regular comntary.”
“The official comntator would control the tempo just like the Bunny Tail live-stream. Pro players or forr professional players would be the guest comntator for professional analysis. The two would coordinate and achieve similar effects.”
The best attitude would definitely be to appease Zhao Xuming and then settle the official comntary for ICL league.
These comntators might not understand the ga as well as professional players, but it was impossible to fire them all?
That was because these comntators were hired with a process. They were all professionals. They had also comntated on other competitions before the ICL league. They were all reputable figures in the circle. There might be a complicated relationship behind them. How could they fire them just like that?
Zhao Xuming obviously did not intend to fire all of them. What if the new batch of people were not as good as them?
Thus, Zhao Xuming’s anger this ti was only to knock the ICL league’s director and comntators down a peg so that they would have so sense of crisis and think of ways to improve their own standards.
The official comntary of the ICL league was not even as good as the unofficial comntary of Bunny Tail live-stream. This was too ridiculous and unacceptable.
Since the director had already expressed his stance, there was no need to be too harsh.
Zhao Xuming said, “All comntators, watch the comntary on Bunny Tail live-stream from beginning to end every day after work and review it on one side to improve your understanding of the ga!”
“In addition, the official real-ti data application will be done soon. It should be released on various platforms one after another. I hope that it can improve the situation of the audience being distributed.”
“Also, make the best use of your ti to look for professional players who have a deeper understanding of the ga and are eloquent. As special guest comntators, you have to implent this as soon as possible.”
Then, Zhao Xuming turned to his assistant and said, “Keep an eye on this matter and report to at any ti.”
The assistant nodded. “Alright, Boss Zhao.”
...
In the evening...
SUG E-Sports Club’s boss, Ding Gan, had just finished his al with a few friends. He was prepared to go back and have a good sleep.
However, his cell phone rang just as he got into the car and took a short nap.
He picked it up and saw that it was Manager Yang from his club.
“Boss Ding, I have sothing to report to you.”
“Just now, the director of the ICL league called to ask if there are any professional players who want to change their careers to being a comntator. He said that there’s a good opportunity now.”
Ding Gan was a little confused. “Didn’t you already recomnd Old Zheng?”
Manager Yang reminded him. “No, Boss Ding, we recomnded Old Zheng to Boss Pei, which is to Bunny Tail Live-Stream. Now it’s for the official comntator team of the ICL league.”
Ding Gan said, “That should be it! Our main players are playing well. The reserves and trainees also have to train seriously. Only Old Zheng is older, so we let him try being a comntator. Everyone else is suitable.”
Manager Yang said, “Little Gao is alright. He’s quite eloquent and knows how to do the job.”
Ding Gan was unhappy at that mont. “That won’t do. Little Gao might be a reserve now, but he’s just over eighteen years old. It’s his year of playing. He’s going to be promoted to Team One soon. Wouldn’t it be a waste to send him off to be a comntator?”
Manager Yang said, “Yes, Boss Ding, I think so too. Then... should we reject him directly?”
Ding Gan pondered for a mont. “We can only turn them down. Who asked them not to co earlier? Bunny Tail Live-Stream ca first. We have already sent out the suitable candidates. Zhao Xuming just ca. There’s nothing we can do.”
“...Don’t tell he can’t find soone suitable?”
Manager Yang said, “Probably not. As far as I know, Bunny Tail Live-Stream only looked for people in the FV Team and our team. They did not ask the other teams.”
“Our clubs are on better terms with Boss Pei after all.”
“If the official comntator team of the ICL league were to look for other clubs, they should be able to find so suitable candidates.”
“It’s just that these people’s understanding of the ga would be slightly worse. FV Team’s strength and understanding of the ga are at the top after all. Our team is behind them, the other teams are a few tiers behind them.”
Ding Gan said, “That has nothing to do with us.”
“Alright, just reply that way. We can’t help even if we want to.”
Manager Yang: “Alright, Boss Ding.”
