Chapter 1 Bp Proof Match

Meanwhile, the employees at Rabbit Tail Live were busily preparing for the "Bp Proof Match."

After more than two days of preparation, the various procedures for this competition had been almost completely arranged.

This "Bp Proof Match" invited the strongest teams in the country for both *gog* and *ioi*, the original DGE first and second team members, as well as the FV and SUG teams.

In addition, the current DGE first and second teams also served as reserves, ready to fill in any gaps in the original DGE first and second teams.

Although Huang Wang, Jiang Huan, and other original members of the DGE first and second teams had "scattered like stars," going to various GPL teams and becoming key players, their individual skills and understanding of the game had not declined at all.

Old Zhou, who had switched careers to become a coach, couldn't participate in this kind of competition, so he found a highly talented young support player from the current DGE to fill the position, ensuring a balance of strength between the two teams.

Originally, two all-star teams were split up to strengthen various teams, but now the star players from each team were gathered again to form two new all-star teams.

However, this composition of personnel also created some scheduling problems for this "Bp Proof Match."

The GPL league schedule was relatively tight. Except for Tuesdays, there were matches to be played every day. The original members of the DGE first and second teams were scattered across several teams, making it difficult to find a time when none of them had a match.

The ICL league had fewer teams and a less dense match schedule, so they only needed to choose a time when the FV and SUG teams didn't have a match.

So, Chen Yufeng considered it and decided to schedule the "Bp Proof Match" from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.

The GPL league was played from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM on weekdays, and from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM on weekends.

The "Bp Proof Match" was scheduled from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM on weekdays, which was enough time for two matches, with each team getting a chance to play a "hellish lineup," to see if the problem was the lineup or the players.

The *gog* and *ioi* groups could be staggered, with the *gog* group playing on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and the *ioi* group playing on Mondays and Wednesdays. This not only avoided conflicts with the GPL and ICL leagues but also ensured a basic level of popularity.

The competition would, of course, be held online. The broadcast could directly use the secondary stream broadcast platform that Rabbit Tail Live had previously arranged for the ICL, and the commentators, directors, and other staff were readily available.

Now that the competition schedule was basically finalized, and the preliminary preparations were going smoothly, Chen Yufeng figured that it was about time to start promoting it.

Tomorrow was Thursday, the day for the *gog* group, and he could use the opportunity to promote it with the "DGE team reunion" as a selling point, creating some buzz in advance.

But Chen Yufeng hadn't quite figured out how to promote it.

The key was whether to announce the detailed rules and details of this "Bp Proof Match" in advance.

If the goal was to gather more popularity in advance, it would definitely be better to announce the rules in advance.

But after careful consideration, Chen Yufeng felt that it was best not to announce the rules in advance, to give the audience a little surprise.

Because Rabbit Tail Live's current situation was quite awkward. The "mandatory one-hour" feature they had previously launched had been heavily criticized, and now, no matter what activities they organized, they were unlikely to restore their reputation and might even be further criticized.

Only when the audience actually saw the competition and found it interesting could Rabbit Tail Live's reputation improve.

But if the schedule was disclosed in advance, the audience's sense of surprise would be diminished.

So, Chen Yufeng, combining the previous promotional experience of various departments of Tengda, decided on the promotional policy for this "Bp Proof Match."

When promoting it, he would focus on the "DGE team reunion," while being vague about the specific rules and details of the competition, only mentioning that the competition would use a "special mode," emphasizing that while the audience would see a high level of competition, it would also be clearly different from the regular matches of the GPL and ICL.

In this way, they would likely be criticized in the early stages, but when the competition officially started and the rules were revealed, the audience would definitely be pleasantly surprised, and all the previous unpleasantness would be swept away!

Chen Yufeng quickly finalized the promotional details for this "Bp Proof Match," and then arranged for his subordinates to pour all of Rabbit Tail Live's resources into this competition, and also bought some online advertisements for promotion.

Promoting it one day in advance might not be enough, but this competition was originally intended to be a long-term program, and its popularity would continue to rise during the competition.

The key was whether this "Bp Proof Match" could have a surprising effect when it officially started tomorrow!

April 26th, Thursday.

The weather was nice today, with plenty of sunshine, and the lighting on the circular balcony was excellent.

So, Pei Qian didn't go to work, but instead had breakfast in the living room while watching videos on Rabbit Tail Live on his phone.

Recently, he had discovered an expert on economics on Rabbit Tail Live, who streamed at a fixed time every day, only for half an hour, and the content was very simple but interesting to listen to.

Pei Qian had to complete the task of hanging out on Rabbit Tail Live for an hour every day, so he took some fragmented time from eating and resting to watch these experts' lectures.

Although this fragmented knowledge was only superficial, it was still more meaningful than watching short videos.

As for why he didn't just tell Chen Yufeng to cancel the one-hour limit on his account...

That was of course because President Pei wanted to set an example!

He had proposed this rule himself, and if he didn't abide by it himself, wouldn't that be like slapping himself in the face?

President Pei still had his pride.

After watching videos for a full hour, the Rabbit Tail Live app was finally completely unlocked, showing the content on various recommended spots on the homepage.

"Huh? DGE team reunion?"

Pei Qian immediately saw a promotional image at the top of the homepage's recommended spots: Huang Wang and Jiang Huan, the two captains, were leading the other original members of DGE, looking tense.

Pei Qian couldn't help but be surprised and quickly clicked to check it out.

The image stated that the match time was from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM today, and the match hadn't started yet. Clicking on it led to the live broadcast page, which had a few simple rule descriptions.

The name of the competition was covered up, and it seemed that it would only be revealed when the competition officially started.

Below were a few simple introductions to the rules: the competition was divided into *gog* and *ioi* groups, which would be played on Tuesdays and Thursdays and Mondays and Wednesdays, respectively, perfectly avoiding the times of the two leagues; a brief introduction to the players on both sides, hinting that this would be a high-level competition; and the most important point, the matches would use a "special mode," which would ensure both professionalism and excitement.

Pei Qian couldn't help but frown slightly: "Special mode?"

"Mutual selection mode? Blind selection mode? Swapping self-selected skills? No skill cooldowns? All random? Clones? Water friend match? Switching positions?"

*gog* and *ioi* had both launched some entertainment modes, which had decent effects.

And many professional teams would also take on some exhibition matches and water friend matches, playing entertainment modes to better interact with the audience.

The concept of a special mode was too broad, and it was really hard to guess.

"I gave Rabbit Tail Live ten million, and after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Yufeng came up with the idea of having the DGE club play an entertainment match?"

"Okay, well done!"

Pei Qian was a little worried when he saw the "DGE team reunion" promotional gimmick, after all, the four teams invited, almost all the players were star players, and the fans of these twenty people combined might account for more than half of the total number of esports fans in the country, so he couldn't underestimate them.

But seeing this rule, Pei Qian was basically relieved.

This activity was not even as good as the "ZZ Cup Fun Competition" that ZZ Live Platform had previously held. Such a good activity was right there, but Rabbit Tail Live didn't even know how to copy it. Chen Yufeng, you're really something.

If this was positive publicity, Pei Qian would definitely have called Chen Yufeng over for a lecture. As the head of the department, he didn't even use his brain to think of a promotional plan, what was the point of having you?

But Pei Qian had originally planned to use this ten million to throw into the water, and Chen Yufeng's activity was exactly what he wanted.

"The publicity for the activity doesn't seem to be strong enough. I've only seen the promotion on the Rabbit Tail Live homepage, and there doesn't seem to be much discussion anywhere else?"

"The competition starts this afternoon, and this level of publicity is too weak. It's a bit embarrassing for Tengda."

Pei Qian immediately called Chen Yufeng.

"I heard that Rabbit Tail Live is going to hold a new competition this afternoon? Why is the publicity so weak? Not enough funds?"

Chen Yufeng hurriedly explained on the other end of the phone: "No, President Pei, the funds are definitely sufficient, it's just that this competition is a long-term activity, so there's no need to spend all the publicity funds in the early stages. I plan to spend it slowly and slowly accumulate popularity."

Pei Qian immediately said: "What do you mean there's no need? I think you're just reluctant. If you're reluctant, that means the publicity funds are still not enough."

"Like this, I'll give you another five million, and go everywhere to advertise and buy water armies right now to stir up the popularity of the competition! Don't worry about the cost-effectiveness, just spend it all!"

Chen Yufeng was stunned for a moment: "Uh... okay, President Pei, I'll arrange it right away!"

"But... the time is a bit tight, the competition starts this afternoon, and it may be too late to spend money to buy ad slots this afternoon, the effect probably won't be seen until the day after tomorrow at the earliest."

"However, asking water armies to create momentum on forums can have an immediate effect."

Pei Qian smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter, just promote it with all your strength!"

Noon, Binhu Community.

Qiao Liang had just finished lunch, sitting in front of his computer, another day of not wanting to work.

As a full-time *up* master, his living conditions were getting better and better, but his work efficiency was also declining linearly. In the past, when he didn't know where his next meal was coming from, he often made two or three videos in a week, but now, it was good if he could release one video a month.

"Damn it, where did my time go!"

Qiao Liang complained while habitually browsing his phone.
