Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

So Qin Feng also upgraded this nickname.

The use of these nicknames helps players quickly form a memory of the team member.

And sometimes it even creates some funny memes, like when this sniper god accidentally got another kill in the semi-finals.

Many viewers commented that "Brother One-Shot" was back.

Therefore, in theory, Qin Feng is in a class of his own in the current field of Gundam battlefield commentary in China, because he is truly dedicated to this work.

However, the sentence is still the same.

Whether you are attentive or not has absolutely nothing to do with how nervous you are.

Now, Qin Feng feels dizzy and lightheaded whenever he looks at the number of people watching the video online in the lower right corner.

Even before the competition officially started, the number of online players across all platforms worldwide had already reached an astonishing 50 million.

In addition, and more importantly.

This match will not only be broadcast online, but will also be broadcast on CCTV's online channel.

Although it's an online channel, it's still CCTV.

Moreover, it is said that the Gundam Battlegrounds World Cup is even more popular in Japan.

TV Tokyo has signed a cooperation agreement with Xinghuo and will broadcast the match live on television at 2 PM Japan time today.

They even hired a professional commentator from a Japanese television station.

Qin Feng watched a lot of League of Legends matches back in the day, including those exciting clips and compilations from global commentators.

So there is no doubt about it.

After this final, someone will definitely put his commentary alongside other commentators from around the world. At that time, if his commentary is flawless, then it will be fine.

But what if there's a problem...

Japanese players' attention to this match is probably second only to that of Chinese and French players.

The reason they are so involved is, of course, because the Gundam IP was created by Japan... Although many Japanese players are now saying that the true Gundam can be found in Spark.

But in essence, this matter follows the same trajectory of fate.

Japanese players will find it somewhat familiar.

Besides this reason, there is another reason why the Gundam Battle World Cup became popular in Japan.

It was Japan's unexpected loss to Serbia.

Almost on the same day the match was lost, the incident sparked intense discussion in Japan. In addition to Gundam Battlefield players, many ordinary Japanese people also started watching the drama unfold.

Incidentally, the media also started to jump on the bandwagon, and Spark also placed ads on TikTok in Japan.

As a result of this upset, although the Japanese team was heavily criticized, the Gundam Battle World Cup actually became a hot topic.

This is why some TV stations approached Xinghuo wanting to broadcast their programs live.

Throughout the entire process.

The Japanese players were the most criticized. Although they won prize money, the social pressure was still too great.

The online backlash in Japan is truly intense.

Later, Lin Li felt that this might backfire and affect the promotion of Gundam Battlegrounds in Japan, so he stood up and said a few words.

"This World Cup is a ranking competition. If you feel too much pressure, you can choose not to participate. If you don't accept the call-up, then the spot will be given to the next person in line."

"What I want to say is not to tell everyone to give up on being drafted, but to tell everyone that being able to accept drafting already proves that they are courageous people."

"We're all players, who isn't under pressure? Everyone knows they'll be criticized if they lose, but they still accepted the call-up despite the pressure."

What I want to say is that they are very courageous.

"Moreover, reaching the quarterfinals is not a disgrace. All teams that make it to the quarterfinals have the potential to win the championship."

Lin Li's words once again improved his public image in Japan, and most importantly, his statement significantly improved public opinion online.

Many players of Gundam Battlegrounds in Japan also tweeted their gratitude to Lin Li.

Surprisingly, this statement was eventually posted on YouTube and in China, where it gained considerable acclaim.

This indirectly sets a precedent for the future esports development of "Gundam Battlegrounds," suggesting that being recruited by the server is a very honorable thing, which is also the direction that the Gundam Battlegrounds development team wants to guide in the future.

~~~

Time returns to the present.

Lin Li and Su Shanshan arrived at the Huaxia Live studio.

The studios in China and France differ from those in other countries in that they have a huge transparent glass panel behind them.

Behind the glass is the Gundam capsule where the contestants are located.

After the two sat down...

The live broadcast of the entire match can be considered to have officially begun, with 15 minutes remaining before the match starts.

Of course, there were already spin-off programs airing before this.

Just as Lin Li sat down, the director switched the live broadcast to the main stage, which meant that the competition was about to officially begin.

Qin Feng, as the professional commentator for this event, was actually quite nervous facing these two "heavyweight" guests.

Fortunately, Lin Li himself is quite versatile in variety shows, and Su Shanshan is beautiful enough.

Therefore, the show quickly returned to its normal atmosphere, and the atmosphere became lively. Of course, more importantly, as soon as Lin Li and Su Shanshan came on stage, the barrage of comments went crazy and started spamming.

As Lin Li appeared, the back-end staff managing the live stream suddenly noticed something strange: the usage of domestic live stream bandwidth was rising rapidly.

"Holy crap, why are players from other channels also crowding into the domestic channels?!"

"Oh no, boss!! President Lin has exploded in popularity!! No... I mean, after President Lin went on stage, his popularity suddenly exploded!"

"Increase the bandwidth! Increase the bandwidth!! We can't let it lag, Mr. Lin is here!!"

"We've already called in more tech support, but wait, damn it, it's still lagging a bit. Wait, didn't we split the stream this time? Was it language-based splitting? Why are we still trying to squeeze into the domestic channel..."

"Boss, overseas comments make up 21% of the total, and they're all asking us to turn on the translation machine. Should we turn it on or not..."

"Huh? The translator isn't on yet? Hurry up and turn it on! What are you standing there for!"

Chapter 596 You can play without BP

The staff backstage were working up a great deal of energy.

On the field, Qin Feng was also trying his best to control the situation. Before the match started, he interviewed Lin Li and Su Shanshan, asking them the usual questions.

Although Qin Feng knew that these two bosses were also players of "Gundam Battlegrounds".

After Lin Li and Su Shanshan became popular on Gundam Battlegrounds, they even did a special live stream of Gundam Battlegrounds, which exposed their IDs.

Some players discovered that these two people actually played in the game for a while. Later, after their IDs became known, they were targeted more severely in the game and had a difficult time having a good experience.

That's why he finally withdrew from the martial arts world.

Therefore, before the match officially started, Qin Feng mainly asked about the predictions for the match, the predictions for the tactics of both sides, and his views on the combat strength of both sides.

Of course, the most important thing is to have the two of you help with the lottery draw.

Yes, how can we talk about Spark's activities without a lucky draw?

Overall, the program in the first few minutes of the competition was quite well done, at least it created a good atmosphere.

When all the players entered the field six minutes before the start of the match.

The atmosphere here is even more exaggerated.

As the contestants entered, a very special entrance promotional video appeared on the big screen.

The image is cut in half horizontally, with China on the left and France on the right.

Then the left and right sides of the screen are each cut separately, meaning that one screen is cut into four pieces, with the two central pieces showing the team members entering the field one by one.

The two panels on the left and right are videos that were specially edited and rendered for this final match before the competition. These videos mainly replay some of their highlights from previous matches.

Additionally, in the last two seconds of each person's video, there will be a player panel displaying their various personal statistics for this competition.

The entrance preparation was very good. Although the entrance time was as long as 6 minutes, each person only had 10 seconds to sit down. In that time, it was not enough for the audience to really remember the contestant.

But as I said before, what Spark wants is an atmosphere where all the contestants are top-notch talents, and a great battle is about to break out.

After all, these contestants were completely unknown before.

Just like in many novels, when a contestant makes his entrance, passersby have to say a few words about him, like, "Isn't this so-and-so?!"

The reason is the same.

~~~

Once all the players were in place, the competition officially began.

It should be noted here that...

Gundam Battlegrounds differs significantly from other shooting games, including League of Legends.

That is, Gundam Battlegrounds itself has a level system.

From level one to level ten, the performance of the Gundam piloted by the player gradually increases.

In its previous version, World of Tanks, which had a similar system, adopted the same model as League of Legends when it was adapted for esports, but the two were too different.

Therefore, World of Tanks underwent a process of "cutting off the feet to fit the shoes".

This includes an updated "7v7" mode better suited to clubs and esports star development, including restrictions on tank levels during matches, and the addition of a series of features that forcibly mimic League of Legends' "BP" system to make "coaches" more useful.

Under a limited level system, all tank models are treated as heroes in the "BP" (Ban/Pick) process.

Later, they abandoned 7V7 and changed it to 15V15.

However, no matter how many changes were made, World of Tanks ultimately failed to make esports a success. There are many reasons for this, but the biggest reason is that it was not visually appealing.

First, there is too little specificity between different tanks, unlike League of Legends where there is obvious hero matchup dominance.

This made BP (British Business Partner) a pointless and unnecessary thing.

For ordinary players, there is absolutely no sense of the strategic elements involved.

Secondly, World of Tanks is a game with a slow pace, and it's even slower in esports competitions. In addition, the game hasn't made any game-level adjustments for esports streaming.

It has no aesthetic appeal whatsoever.

Conversely, when Spark was working on making Gundam Battlegrounds an esports game, it paid very little attention to "professionalism" and focused on making the matches more entertaining.

And it makes the game more unpredictable, allowing strong and weak teams to play back and forth.

Therefore, in the e-sports competition of "Gundam Battlegrounds", the BO5 format is still used, which is best of five games.

However, in these five rounds, the limited mecha are respectively a cycle of level four, level six, level eight, level eight and level ten.

As for the game map, the game system will select the map with the highest balance from the current land battle maps. The reason for using land battle maps is that, compared to air battles, land battles are better for the audience's viewing experience.

Attentive players will notice that in this mode, players don't need to do anything; they just need to select the corresponding level of Gundam and enter the game.

Because Gundam Battlegrounds uses four levels and limits the number of mobile suits that can be used in the same team at the same time, it leads to another result.

There are a lot of different mechs that appear.

Why are there so many upsets in the Gundam Battlegrounds elimination rounds?

Because of these mechanisms themselves, it is easy for upsets to occur. Some teams may be skilled at high-level Gundams at level eight or ten.

But for CET-4 and CET-6, they might not be so familiar with it.

Take League of Legends as an example.

Even a professional League of Legends player, in a specific position, such as jungler.

Throughout the League of Legends World Championship, junglers from all teams around the world were likely just picking and banning the same few strong champions from the current meta.

This is good for the club and the players.

After all, you only need to get familiar with them and practice a few heroes.

However, in terms of entertainment value, it is actually compromised. More importantly, after there are too many of these fixed and strong routines, although it makes the drafting and banning process very tense.

However, this also makes strong teams rely too much on the lineups after the draft phase. Many streamers with a basic understanding of the game can even make a rough guess about the direction of the entire match after the draft phase ends, and their guesses are often quite accurate.
