Chapter 108: 15x Scope? So Boring!
League of Legends event operations center, meeting room.
The several leaders responsible for regular season award selection and data analysts all had bloodshot eyes, their faces full of exhaustion and anxiety.
The electronic screen on the wall densely listed various data, team records, player KDA, participation rate, average damage per minute…
But some things these data couldn’t reflect, so from one o’clock until now at four o’clock, the selected awards still hadn’t come out.
They had been arguing nonstop until now…
“Regular season MVP to Doinb should be no problem, right? Although QG’s record is only third in Group B, his MVP count is the highest among players, the team’s absolute core.” A man wearing a plaid shirt reiterated weakly; he had said this no less than three times, already making him very tired.
“Regular season MVP is no problem, the current point of contention is still the best lineup. QG has already been eliminated in the playoffs, is there really a need to give him the best lineup too, and he’s a Korean import…”
“But according to our previous unspoken rule, regular season MVP defaults to best lineup.”
“Regular season is regular season, playoffs are playoffs.”
“But shouldn’t the best lineup be the strongest performers in the regular season? After Unreal came on in the second half, EDG went all wins! And he directly exploded Doinb in lane, the gap in two matchups visible to the naked eye!”
“We know, everyone knows!” Another supervisor wearing glasses, looking a bit older, sighed, “But Unreal only played six regular season games, and because of these few standout performances, squeeze out Doinb’s entire season of effort from the best lineup? Is that fair to him? Who will be willing to continuously carry throughout a season in the future?”
“So according to you, just because Doinb played more games, even if he got exploded in lane matchups, we should still give him best mid laner? Then is this best lineup award for endurance or peak strength? We’ve already conceded here, otherwise Unreal would be the undisputed regular season MVP, 12 games 11 MVPs, who can match that efficiency?” The short-haired female colleague was clearly agitated.
“That Unreal highlight reel online is about to explode right now, playback volume about to break ten million! Everyone’s eyes are sharp, if we give best to Doinb, believe it or not, as soon as the announcement goes out, the official blog gets flooded immediately?”
“No need to discuss anymore, you have the most seniority here, been in the department the longest, you just decide alone.”
“Chen Yao!”
Jin Yibo looked at the crowd almost about to argue, waved his hand: “Stop, everyone stop. Old Xu, what you said makes sense.”
This older middle-aged man, hearing Jin Yibo’s words, showed a smile on his face, but the next second it was forced back by the words.
“But Chen Yao is also right, single data doesn’t represent everything, in terms of performance, Unreal is indeed very eye-catching, six games twelve matches eleven MVPs already showing his dominance…”
“Chen Yao, show me that highlight reel you mentioned.” Jin Yibo said to Chen Yao.
Facing the boss, Chen Yao didn’t dare act like she did with Old Xu, hurriedly pulled out her mobile phone, found that collected video, clicked play, and quickly handed it to Jin Yibo.
Jin Yibo looked at the bullet comments filling the video, and the playback count already at eight million nine hundred seventy thousand times, at this speed breaking ten million would be easy.
Ten million playback video… even if one person watches it ten times, that’s one million people who have seen it, this influence is a bit terrifying.
He silently watched the entire five-minute highlight reel, from heavy participation start, to Lucian eight shots per second, LeBlanc fireworks trick exploding for a penta kill, finally the match that just ended yesterday.
Video ended, he handed the mobile phone back to Chen Yao, the meeting room was pin-drop silent, everyone holding their breath.
From this situation, the boss was about to join the decision making.
So everyone silently waited for the final decision.
Jin Yibo’s gaze swept over Doinb’s long string of data on the screen, and as if saw Li Fan’s suffocating operation oppressive feeling in the highlight reel.
Fully five minutes passed, before he spoke: “Data is very important, it represents a player’s stability and effort throughout the entire season.”
Old Xu’s complexion improved a lot now, wasn’t this equivalent to agreeing with his decision?
“Similarly video data is also data… from this massive playback volume, it’s not hard to see Unreal has very high popularity in the audience group.”
“Don’t forget, our professional league needs popularity, especially in the second half when major capital will enter LPL to establish representative teams, popularity relates to whether the league can succeed.”
“Right, professional league needs results, but also can’t do without audience support and heat.” Jin Yibo’s fingers lightly tapped on the tabletop.
“A player who can create nearly ten million playback highlight reel in one day, the attention and topic he brings is itself a huge value.”
“This is not just in-arena performance, but also embodiment of off-arena influence.”
His words were simple and clear, everyone present were smart people, instantly tasting the implication that Unreal might not just get one “best lineup” so simple!
The fresh blood and super high popularity he brings is exactly what the league needs and promotes most at this stage.
Chen Yao’s face instantly bloomed with a smile, almost unable to hold back from clapping and cheering.
The Unreal she strongly supported not only had his strength recognized, his commercial potential and traffic-drawing ability also seen by the higher-ups!
Old Xu opened his mouth, looked at Jin Yibo’s calm yet unquestionable expression, and heard the nearly ten million playback volume, finally swallowed back the rebuttal words.
He knew very well that the boss’s decisions couldn’t be changed.
He just needed to strictly execute…
Originally the boss wouldn’t interfere in this kind of thing, probably related to event alliance issues.
Since that’s the case, better not to poke his sore spot.
“So, my decision is regular season MVP to Unreal, everyone has already seen his high efficiency.”
After saying this, Jin Yibo scanned around.
Seeing no one else had objections, nodded very satisfied, continued: “Regular season best mid laner also to Unreal.”
Double awards!
Regular season MVP plus best lineup first-string mid laner!
This honor is heavyweight for any professional player, let alone for a rookie who just debuted half a season!
This couldn’t simply be described as recognition, it was almost a coronation, the official personally pasting the genius and prestige tags heavily on Li Fan.
Very obvious they planned to promote Li Fan!
Chen Yao was so excited her fingers trembled slightly, she extremely restrained herself to not lose composure.
Because she had another identity… Unreal’s little fangirl, her favorite thing to do after work was watch Li Fan’s live stream.
Although she was a League of Legends official staff member, she actually didn’t like the game League of Legends at all, had more interest in the newly released PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds.
And Li Fan now was the publicly recognized strongest streamer…
After watching the first time back then, she became a fan.
Seeing her idol get so many awards, naturally happy from the heart.
The last trace of color drained from Old Xu’s face, he opened his mouth, ultimately said nothing.
“The reasons, I just explained very clearly.” Jin Yibo looked at Old Xu still wanting to comfort him a bit, after all this was his capable subordinate.
“Unreal’s performance is phenomenal, he not only conquered the arena with strength, but also attracted massive audience with personal charm, this is exactly the fresh blood and benchmark figure our league needs most at this stage.”
Old Xu saw Jin Yibo’s gaze fixed on him, also nodded.
Jin Yibo then showed a smile: “This decision may spark controversy, but I believe time will prove its correctness.”
“Alright, hurry up, I hope you can complete these tasks before tomorrow’s match starts.” Jin Yibo issued the final order, then quickly left the meeting room.
For someone of his level, this was already a very very small matter, he had more important meetings next.
As soon as the meeting ended, Chen Yao almost ran back to her lounge in high heels, locked the door behind her.
Impatiently pulled out her mobile phone, opened the specially followed live stream room.
Screen lit up, in the bottom right camera Li Fan’s expressionless yet exceptionally handsome face appeared, she hadn’t had time to fangirl before being drawn by Li Fan’s punchable tone words, capturing all her attention.
“Did you get the 15x scope recoil control? Actually not hard, now picking up 15x scope is boring.”
In the game, Li Fan’s character held an M16A4, with a ridiculously exaggerated 15x scope mounted on it!
Next moment, he aimed down sight and sprayed at two faintly moving figures on the distant hillside!
Da da da da da!
The dense bullets almost formed a straight line, precisely sprinkled over!
Such a far distance… everyone saw green blood floating in the scope!
【Unreal used M16A4 headshot knockdown on wojiushiwangzhe】
【Unreal used M16A4 headshot kill on dadididada】
Double kill!
The live stream room screen went quiet for an instant, then bullet comments erupted like a volcano.
【？？？？？】
【Holy shit?! 15x scope M16 full auto recoil control? I fucking didn’t see wrong, right?】
【M16 doesn’t have full auto? You idiot?】
【Reported, if this isn’t cheating I’ll do handstand head wash live!】
【Wait for me up front, report together! This definitely has issues!】
【Laugh dead, operations you can’t do is just cheating, right? Go understand Unreal’s level first, don’t embarrass yourself here.】
【Is this the strength of PUBG area’s number one streamer? Terrifying!】
Chen Yao seeing this scene, equally shocked, 15x scope!
15x scope pulled to a thousand meters, right?
And double kill two people?
As expected of you Li Fan!
“Boring, I’ll show you something a bit interesting.” Li Fan seemed completely unconcerned with the bullet comments’ frenzy and doubts.
Directly switched the 15x scope back to AWM.
Then aimed towards the distance!
15x scope view stretched to the extreme, distant scenery somewhat blurry distorted, only a small red dot in the crosshair center.
Camera slowly moved, as if searching for something.
Suddenly, camera locked!
On the extremely distant hillside reverse slope, a black dot seemed to move!
If not for Li Fan’s camera stopping right there, no one would notice.
“Now I’ll teach you a scope usage skill.”
“6x scope dense position 500m, 8x scope and 15x scope 1000m.”
“Then open mini-map… black line is one thousand meters, white line is one hundred meters, match your position to target with one line, then use Pythagorean theorem to calculate approximate distance.”
“Should be one thousand meters!”
“Everyone watch closely!”
Li Fan picked up AWM, aimed the crosshair at the distant small figure, then directly fired a shot.
Bang!
With the gunshot… the person in front dropped!
【Unreal used AWM headshot kill on lurenjia-123】
【？？？？？？？？】
【Holy fuck?! What the hell is this?】
【Isn’t there recoil and bullet drift? For long range shots don’t you lift muzzle up? Why crosshair aimed and directly took the person?】
【Cheat! Confirmed! If this isn’t aimbot I’ll eat my keyboard!】
【Earlier said recoil control isn’t cheat! How to explain this AWM? Crosshair directly aimbot?】
“This is the scope tutorial I just explained, did you notice I adjusted the dense position distance under the scope? One thousand meters is this effect, crosshair aimed is one shot.”
Li Fan while speaking, also adjusted the distance to nine hundred meters…
This time, the doubts in the live stream room were instantly drowned by those wanting to learn!
【！！！Holy shit! So that’s how!】
【Dense position adjustment? I get it… I always guessed blindly before, didn’t know there was this operation.】
【Big Brother Unreal, I want to learn this!】
【Kneel, this tutorial too hardcore, watching other streamers learn nothing, come to Unreal live stream room can learn tons of little skills.】
【Those earlier saying cheating? Come out walk two steps? Face hurt?】
【This wave tutorial worth gold, I fucking played hundreds of hours before knowing about dense position!】
And Li Fan directly told everyone what position to adjust.
Actually it’s the crosshair distance in the aim shoot column, default keys page up and page down.
But can change to alt + mouse wheel up and alt + mouse wheel down to adjust distance.
This is much more convenient than default two keys.
When the tutorial ended…
The live stream room immediately filled with gifts, from small Tiger Grain to big Excavator all present!
