  Chapter 381 Publicity Effect

  The final was arranged in the evening, so as to give the two finalists a certain rest time.

   At the same time, various advertisements can also be played several times during this time.

   At this time, no matter how unhappy the audience in front of the TV is, they can only watch these commercials. After all, they don’t want to miss this really interesting e-sports competition.

   The interstitial ads in the middle of e-sports games are not as good as those of the Super Bowl level in the United States.

   But now the first e-sports advertising fee-to-revenue ratio is the highest.

   The companies that initially invested in paid only a small amount of advertising fees, and received a considerable amount of attention, and they were so happy that their mouths could not be closed.

   Well, the advertising fee for next year's competition may not be the same.

   This first session has already reflected the value of e-sports, and the next session will only be more mature on the basis of the first session.

   In the future, Zhu Yuxing has a lot of plans.

   In the previous life, e-sports has always been in a marginal position after more than ten years of development, and has not formed a real world-class influence.

   Take Yuxing hopes to shorten this time, and a topic with enough gimmicks is the best way to promote it.

   Now this finals is a good opportunity.

  Bamboo Youxing directly woke up Bob, who founded Facebook on the other side of the ocean, from his sleep.

In the face of one of the major shareholders who made the initial investment, he was also willing to authorize the voting rights to Bob for a long time, only retaining the permanent original shares, and from time to time, he could give some ideas and ideas far beyond this era, and he was forcibly called from the bed. Awake Bob really has no temper.

   He felt that there was only one person in this world, Zhu Yuxing, who could make him do this.

   And Zhu Yuxing's request is very simple, let Facebook push as much StarCraft content as possible during this time.

   Now FACEBOOK users have become accustomed to hanging out in the social square, which has the same magic power as short videos can be swiped for a day.

   And Bob only needs to tilt the StarCraft-related weights slightly on such a social square to make StarCraft itself bring a very scary amount of clicks.

   Of course, this kind of thing can't be used often. It's like a super big move in the game. It is best to use it only when it is the most critical. If you use this super big move every day, it will be very cheap.

   Take Yusei only asked Bob to do this once for so long.

   He didn't even ask for that when Final Fantasy VII was released.

   Because he hopes that StarCraft can spread to the world at a faster rate.

  In the early morning of that day, there was more and more discussion about StarCraft on social networks.

   Originally, the games on the Korean side were late at night on the American side, and the people watching were all gamers.

   But when the morning came, it happened to be the final Korean-American StarCraft Showdown.

   At seven o'clock in the morning on the weekend, in an ordinary American family, the child wanted to sleep in late.

   But then the mother's voice rang out.

   "Hamlin, get up, your friend called you."

   Hamlin grumbled with difficulty getting out of bed to answer the phone.

   So early in the morning, why would a friend call me? Don't they rest?

   However, the call only lasted about three minutes, and Hamlin rushed to the living room as if in a 100-meter sprint, which surprised the parents who got up early.

   And Hamlin turned on the TV with his eyes shining, and continued to talk to his friends with the cordless phone in his hand.

   "The sixth station? OK!"

   He quickly took the remote control to broadcast the TV program to Channel 6.

   At this moment, the pre-match interviews of the two players and the exciting performances of the previous two players are playing on the TV.

   Soon afterwards, a commentator enthusiastically exaggerated the game, calling it a national honor showdown.

  Hamlin's father glanced suspiciously at the show on TV, then asked, "What is this?"

   "My friend said that this is an e-sports show, a show of game showdowns."

   Hamlin said without looking back.

   He is a devoted video game player himself.

   And he is also very obsessed with strategy games.

   When StarCraft was released, he immediately tried to find a way to buy a box of StarCraft games, and then played with a few schoolmates almost day and night.

   They are all deeply indulged into this sci-fi and blurred war world.

   For the first time, he also had a feeling of commanding the soldiers and truly becoming a commander.

   Once he could only play wargames with his classmates.

  Before they played a strategy game like StarCraft, they thought wargames were the most fun.

   Even if it was Final Fantasy 7, the most popular video game at the time, he just thought it was fun, and after playing it once, he put it aside to eat ashes.

   But now, his concept has changed with the release of StarCraft.

   Now he thinks StarCraft is the best thing ever.

   Then, when his friend excitedly told him on the phone that the world-class game of StarCraft was about to start, he couldn't remember it when he went to bed after playing StarCraft yesterday at 5:00 in the morning.

  Young people are full of energy. They only slept for two hours, but as long as they know that the show they want to watch the most is about to be broadcast, they can get up excitedly and watch it without hesitation.

   And his father was also curious.

   He is not interested in video games. At the age of 40, he has passed the age where he is quickly interested in games. At least games like Super Mario are difficult to attract him.

   But when he watched the game screen of a battle between a group of soldiers that appeared on the TV, he also had a rare trace of interest.

   It can be said that his son Hamlin's obsession with wargames is also due to his father.

  His father was a wargame fanatic in his youth.

   Even at this age, he would occasionally invite a few old friends to play a game of sandboard war.

   The father couldn't help sitting on the sofa at this time, and then asked casually: "Son, is this thing also a video game? I remember that the game you played before was not like this."

"Dad, this is your ignorance, I've been playing StarCraft for several months, you don't care at all, I tell you, this thing is really great, how about we have a chance to play a game between the two of us ?"

   "Hmm... you can try it."

   Anyway, I’ve been bored lately, so if you can have something in common with your child, you might as well try it out.

   Moreover, he was indeed attracted by the face of this kind of battlefield.
