Chapter 942 - The High Level Of The Commentary!

Chapter 942: The High Level Of The Commentary!

March 18th, Sunday.

Bunny Tail Live-Streaming ICL league’s live-streaming platform. The three commentators were dressed in suits and wore their headphones. They chatted as they sorted out the various data on the table.

The competition had only started ten minutes ago. The three commentators were already in position, ready to start today’s performance.

Chen Yufeng had made a trip to Wu Yue’s FV Club yesterday and selected two of the best-talented commentators who had done live-streams and had a certain number of fans to be the commentators for today’s competition.

These two players were originally in FV Team’s second team. Their strengths were not bad but the five people in the first team were too strong. There were not many chances for them to get onto the stage.

What’s more, they were not young anymore. Their reactions had slowed down and their energy had decreased. They could not keep up with the pace of the professional competition and had been struggling with their future.

The commentary this time was a good test for Bunny Tail Live-Stream and the two players.

If the effect was good, they could continue commenting. If the effect was not good, these two players could consider returning to play professionals or just retire to live-stream.

Since it was their first day of commentating, they might not be that familiar with the game. Thus, they arranged for a veteran controller from the GPL to guide them. This controller did not have a high understanding of IOI’s game but he was still very good at grasping the rhythm of the commentator. With him around, the rhythm of the three would not deviate.

This morning, while the two newly-promoted commentators were trying out their chemistry, the official staff of Bunny Tail Live-Stream obtained first-hand information about the competition team. There were a total of more than ten pages of data, which were provided to the live commentator.

These data included the players’ habitual heroes, common tactics, and some detailed habits. It could be said that they provided good data support for the commentary work. In addition, the understanding of the game of the two active professional players would definitely be able to dig out more details of the competition.

Not only that, there was also a tablet computer in front of each of the three commentators. On it, a special team would push some other content of the competition in real time. For example, the distribution of the killings in the game on the map, the one-hit situation, the economic discount map, and so on.

These figures were obtained directly from the backstage of Long Yu Corporation. They were the same set of data that would be released in real time for future platforms.

Even though the packaging had not been completed and they could not show it to the audience, it was not a problem to show it to the three commentators. They were professionals and could understand it easily.

All the early stages of work had been prepared. Bunny Tail Live-Stream had also done enough publicity and preheating for this unofficial commentary on its own website. Now, it was up to the improvisation of the commentary after the competition began.

The two professional players were a little nervous.

There was a player who had previously commented on the competition in his live-stream. However, that was a very private environment after all. Even if there were small problems, he would only see his own fans and would not be too harsh on him.

However, they were commentating in a very formal setting.They would be criticized even if there was a slip of tongue. If they made a professional mistake, they would lose their reputation. Thus, both of them were a little apprehensive.

The experienced commentator in charge of the field smiled. “We’ve already rehearsed it a few times in the morning. There’s no need to be nervous. This time, I’ll be in charge of controlling the field and guiding the topic. You guys just have to follow my rhythm. If you’re worried that you might say something wrong, I’ll say one sentence, and you guys can say another.”

The two professional players nodded. They quickly adjusted their ties and hairstyles and looked in the direction of the camera seeing that the show was about to start.

…

At the same time, a large number of viewers flooded into Bunny Tail live-stream, preparing to watch the ICL league.

After distributing the broadcasting rights for the ICL league, the number of viewers on Bunny Tail Live-Stream did not decrease significantly. Instead, the number of viewers had basically stabilized!

It was mainly because of the influence of the spoiler incident that many people had the impression that Bunny Tail Live-Stream was faster than other platforms.

All the platforms’ live-stream time had been unified, and even if there was a delay in the internet, it would not exceed two or three seconds. Once the initial impression was formed, it would be difficult to change.

Of course, after knowing that the other platforms had the same time as Bunny Tail’s live-stream, the viewers who came to Bunny Tail’s live-stream were gradually returning to the various platforms.

However, it would take some time to recover. What’s more, some viewers had already formed a habit. Every time there was a competition, they would subconsciously turn on Bunny Tail Live-Stream. In the end, some viewers would stay.

Today, many old viewers realized that Bunny Tail’s live-stream of the ICL league was divided into two channels. After entering, Bunny Tail’s live-stream was their own live-stream. The official live-stream was the second!

What’s more, Bunny Tail Live-Stream had already promoted and warmed up his live-stream.

Bunny Tail Live-Stream had originally given the ICL league a lot of recommendation resources. Now, these recommendation resources have been changed. Even though they were still promoting the ICL league, the focus of publicity was already on Bunny Tail’s live-stream.

Most of the audience did not pay much attention to this. After all, many e-sports competitions had a two-way traffic. It was just some streamers using the official competition scenes for commentary. There was nothing new about it.

These two-way commentators were often done by live-streamers. They mainly played their own style and attracted their own fans. In terms of professionalism and viewing experience, they were still incomparable to the official stream.

That was normal. The commentators of the official channel were carefully selected after all. They were eloquent and could obtain first-hand information from the official platform. Even if their understanding of the game was slightly worse, they could make up for it with other aspects.

All in all, most of the audience did not pay much attention to it even though they had seen the relevant publicity.

However, since the live-stream of the ICL league was undoubtedly from Bunny Tail Live-Stream, most viewers still stayed to see how different Bunny Tail Live-Stream was from official channels.

After broadcasting the ICL league promotional video, the live-streaming platform appeared.

The three commentators were dressed in suits and leather shoes. They were sitting upright and had the same commentary earphones on their heads. There was a stack of information, a pen, and a tablet computer on each table.

On the other hand, the official commentators of the ICL league were only wearing shirts. There was nothing on the table.

“Eh, isn’t that the commentator from GPL?”

“The two beside them… are members of FV Team Two?”

“This suit is quite handsome.”

“Why are there so many things on the table? There’s a notebook, a pen, and a tablet?”

“I feel like they’re well-prepared!”

“Oh, it’s time to analyze the competition data!”

The competition had not officially begun. The players from both sides had just appeared. There were still a few minutes to adjust the equipment.

On the official live-stream, the director began to release some data of the two teams in order. For example, the lead economic win rate in the first ten minutes, the number of MVPs for the players, the historical data of the battle between the two teams, and so on.

The two official commentators were basically reading the data. Occasionally, there would be some simple explanations. For example, the first blood and the first tower had a high win rate. It meant that this team was very good at obtaining an early advantage and winning snowballs.

The three commentators were looking at the information in their hands and explaining some content that was not shown at all on Bunny Tail Live-Stream.

“We saw on the official screen that the winning rate of one tower is as high as 74%, but in fact, this data is not particularly accurate. This team has several different tactical strategies. One is a tactical strategy to speed up the exchange of resources. The hero’s choice of the bottom lane would be tilted under this tactical strategy. Under this strategy, their one tower win rate is actually more than 90%. This shows that they are very familiar with this strategy. In other tactical strategies, their one tower win rate is only about 60%. Many times, they can’t even obtain one tower and are at a disadvantage in the early stages.”

“This means that the quick-thinking strategy is the most mature and effective strategy in this team. This time, the other party should target this strategy on the lineup…”

Indeed, before he could finish speaking, the other party had already targeted the two heroes at the bottom lane.

Not only that, during the BAN selection process, the two professional players seemed to have already gotten the script in advance. They accurately predicted the heroes that both sides would be getting next. They would provide two different choices when they were uncertain. One of them would be right.

That was because these tactical systems were easily grasped in the knowledge reserves of the two professional players. Not only could they accurately predict the lineup of both sides, but they could also be introduced and give a simple introduction to the tactical playstyle of this lineup.

On the other hand, the official commentator only guessed the tactics that both parties would adopt based on the characteristics of the hero after both parties had chosen their heroes.

It would not be a problem if they only watched the official commentary. That was because the commentator had done a good job of explaining and explaining. However, there was an obvious difference when they were compared to the two professional players on Bunny Tail Live-Stream!

The bullet screen comments were filled with all sorts of 666 comments.

However, that was not all. After entering the game, the gap between the two parties became even more obvious.

The two professional players who were on Bunny Tail Live-Stream gave a detailed explanation of the tactical arrangements in the early stages, including why the eyes in the early stages had to be inserted in a specific position. Multiple pairs of eyes could obtain experience faster to level two to achieve suppression on the line, and then the farming route and farming speed of both sides’ junglers…

It could be said that the detail of every player’s performance could not escape the commentator’s eyes.

The OB of Bunny Tail live-stream was also different from the official OB.

The official OB had been on camera for a long time, but both sides fought steadily. They changed their HP occasionally but they did not miss out too much on the last hit. There was nothing much to say about the commentator. He only said ‘good hit, very solid basic skills’ after the players perfected the last hit.

On the other hand, the OB on Bunny Tail Live-Stream, under the request of the two professional players, focused the early shots on the heroes of the two jungle areas and clicked on the specific data of the heroes.

Many of the audience were confused. What was there to see?

However, the commentators of the two professional players quickly gave an explanation: the players on one side were very bad at farming wild monsters. Their speed was five to eight seconds slower than the other first-rate players. The players on the other side had obviously done their homework in advance and had expected this. Thus, they deliberately left a group of wild monsters behind and went to the other side’s jungle to wait.

Indeed, half a minute later, the junglers of both sides encountered each other. The faster side waited for them to be exhausted, directly crippling the other party in one move, forcing them back, and then comfortably eating all of the other party’s wild monsters, establishing an economic advantage in the early stages.

Bunny Tail Live-Stream was flooded with all sorts of 666 comments again!

The two commentators had been laying the groundwork from the beginning, saying that this jungler was slow in farming, and the other player had seized this five to eight seconds to invade, and established the economic advantage of matching positions in the early stages.

On the other hand, the official OB did not realize this at all. He only showed it to the camera when the players on both sides encountered each other. The audience did not know what happened to the two of them at all!
