LOL: I'm in the LPL, that's my fight!

Chapter 36 Remember to claim reimbursement for the name change card!

The words had barely left his mouth when the head of the technology department spoke;

A man in his thirties wearing black-rimmed glasses, who had a good personal relationship with Qin Weichuan, immediately chimed in.

He opened the computer in front of him and brought up a line chart.

"Team Leader Qin is right. Since June of this year, against the backdrop of rapid growth in the overall retention of users in our platform's League of Legends section, the increase in viewership in Dopa's live stream has decreased significantly compared to the first half of the year. Especially after MSI, the curve is almost flat."

As he spoke, he turned the tablet around and showed it to everyone present. The line that had been almost flat since June, and even dipped slightly in the last two weeks, was more convincing than any words.

Qin Weichuan gave the head of the technical department a grateful look, then looked away.

"Yes. So the trend is clear—players are tired of the scenario where a Korean player dominates the top spot in the Chinese server. The LPL needs a new champion, and we need to make a change."

"Right at this time, in this year's finals, all three teams from our region... were eliminated before the quarterfinals."

"Crush, as a newcomer who has not yet entered the professional scene, challenged Dopa in the Chinese server ranked games and vowed to make it into the LPL... In the eyes of ordinary players, he is undoubtedly a Hero-like figure."

"Therefore, our official stance is not that the script went wrong, but rather that Huya has discovered a peerless genius who transcends the times, leading the audience to acknowledge the arrival of a new era, actively embrace the new king, and transform the 'script failure' into the 'descent of a dynasty.'"

"We're tired of seeing streamers with contracts. In comparison, the 'Mysterious Random Player' challenge for Dopa's throne' is a natural script."

"Of course, we can also take the initiative to admit our mistakes, such as acknowledging some of the online opinions... For example, we originally wanted to hold a peak showdown, but we unexpectedly witnessed history - another ranked god of the LPL region was born on Huya."

No one knows whether what Qin Weichuan is saying now is a well-developed plan that he has repeatedly rehearsed beforehand, or an emergency measure to make up for the situation after the public outcry.

However, even for the latter—at this moment, no one would expose him or question him.

In the workplace, whether you plan ahead or make amends later, as long as you can solve the problem, that's all that matters.

Not to mention, following the path outlined by the other party, the online attacks on Dopa and Huya have become an excellent opportunity.

An opportunity to step on the crisis and seize the opportunity to rise to the top.

No one spoke in the meeting room.

But no one frowned anymore.

"Okay, let's stop discussing the reasons here for now."

The person in charge raised his hand, signaling Qin Weichuan to pause.

"Our top priority is to get in touch with Crush and sign him to our team."

In short, if Crush signs with another platform, all their plans will be in vain, and they will become the target of ridicule across the internet.

Take the company next door for example. They sign someone during the day, and at night the other party can come up with a series of promotional slogans like "Crushing Huya's No. 1 streamer Dopa, the strongest genius joins Douyu."

"Team Leader Qin, now that you have a sufficiently mature plan, the task of contacting and signing Crush is entrusted to you."

"I think there's a point made in today's meeting that's very true and worth learning from... In recent years, the live streaming industry has grown wildly, and the competition has become increasingly fierce. Huya urgently needs new faces, new champions, and even top-tier streamers of sufficient caliber to enrich the content ecosystem and avoid one company dominating the market and causing audience fatigue. Dopa's popularity as a solo streamer has clearly reached its limit, and Crush, who has clearly stated that he will develop in a professional direction, is undoubtedly an excellent replacement."

"Management will give you maximum authority. We have only one requirement: sign Crush, no matter the cost!"

"Even if there are some losses in the short term, don't worry about the signing fee. At the same time, you can promise them exclusive privileges: such as being featured at the top of the live stream, being permanently recommended on the homepage, and having priority exposure for events."

Finally, he slightly raised the corners of his mouth, as if talking to himself, or perhaps sending a distant greeting to the young man he had yet to meet:

"Lucky kid."

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room became lively.

Several project team leaders exchanged knowing glances, and one of them whispered to his colleague, "This kind of treatment, even the top streamer on that other platform didn't get an S-level contract?" His tone was filled with envy and a touch of wistfulness.

Indeed, given Huya's size, as long as this support plan is truly implemented, it can propel Crush to the most prominent position in the League of Legends section in a very short time.

Overnight fame is nothing more than this.

What does it mean to be in the right place at the right time, even a pig can fly? That's what being in the right place at the right time is all about.

Moreover, Crush is not a pig at all—he is a tiger with the real strength to reach the top.

After Number One finished speaking, Number Two, sitting next to him, added:

"Other departments shouldn't be idle either. As soon as the operations team signs the contract, we need to get moving immediately."

"First, let's talk about Dopa. Although he was crushed in the Chinese server's top-ranking match, he still has a huge fan base on the platform. We adhere to the principle of neither hiding nor suppressing him, and we will try to raise his value in reverse. If necessary, we will discuss the other players in that match together to divert attention..."

"Secondly, in terms of internal management, everyone must maintain a unified stance: discussions about 'operational errors' or 'assessment mistakes' are not allowed."

"Crush is the top new talent we've discovered, but we never expected him to be this good."

……

Mr. Mo was very sad.

To be precise, it's a mixture of pain and pleasure.

The reason for the suffering is simple.

That means the trial card for the genius mid-laner that he had anticipated would be about to expire so soon.

Snake, EDG, NB, WE—these established and emerging powerhouses have been approaching us one after another.

Yes, just a few days ago, this young man was playing games at his own internet cafe and casually taking on apprentices for 200 yuan. He has become a hot newcomer in the e-sports circle at an unbelievable speed.

It's certain that BJBS can't retain its staff.

In fact, as long as the other party agrees, there are plenty of teams willing to pay that negligible penalty for breach of contract, allowing them to skip the city championship and secondary leagues and stand on the LPL stage in one fell swoop.

As for the other kind of joy, it also comes from crush.

Mo Ziye never expected that Comrade Xiao Fu would be so temperamental, adding the team name directly before his Chinese server ID after joining BJBS.

Overnight, as the ID Crush gained fame through Huya Live, BJBS, a team that should have been forgotten in a corner of the internet cafe, also garnered a lot of attention.

With the boost of massive traffic, club acquisitions, sponsorships, and even high-scoring casual players actively seeking employment have all come knocking on the door.

A more direct change is that his four "Never Say Goodbye" stores are now filled with League of Legends players who come specifically to surf the internet.

Despite such a huge reward, Xiao Fu only asked him for reimbursement for a name change card.

Isn't that what we call temperament?
