98: Section 98

Pony and the others didn't believe that the gameplay of King would be able to sustain player reputation.

In their opinion.

King's player base would eventually return to Dota Mobile's embrace.

Under such a premise.

In just a few days.

Countless advertisements for dota mobile game swept across the entire Yan Country internet.

However, regarding Penguin Group's actions, Wang Mo, unusually, made no move.

He knew very well.

King lacked nothing now, only time.

As long as people had played both Dota Mobile and King, most would definitely choose King and would not return to Dota Mobile.

What's more.

Dota Mobile's user base had already reached 50 million, which was almost saturated.

Originally, dota mobile game didn't need any advertising to continue its development.

But to prevent King's rise, Penguin Group spent heavily on promotions everywhere.

Under such circumstances.

For a period afterward, King's downloads and registrations indeed increased quite slowly.

Moreover.

Besides relentlessly pushing advertisements for dota mobile game, Penguin Group also did something else.

That was to publish negative articles about King through various channels, disparaging the game.

Although many King players refuted these claims, their voices were too weak to gain much attention.

At the same time.

Many Douyu game streamers also started to criticize King.

.

Seventh day after King's open beta.

Douyu live streaming platform.

9:20 PM that night.

..... ...

Wei Da Xian opened his live stream.

As the undisputed top streamer in the game section of Douyu live streaming platform, Wei Da Xian had nearly a million viewers as soon as he started streaming every day.

Although Douyu Live's market share was far behind Douyin Live.

Their first-tier streamers in Douyu still had a considerable number of loyal fans.

Wei Da Xian was originally a Dota player, so after dota mobile game came out, he started streaming the mobile game every day. He was now the number one streamer for Dota Mobile, and all Dota Mobile players knew him.

"He's here, he's here! Streamer, hurry up and start, I can't wait to see your amazing plays."

"Climbing to the top of the ladder in just two months, is this the streamer's strength?"

Looking at the screen full of urging comments.

Wei Da Xian smiled.

"Everyone, today we're not playing Dota Mobile, we're playing a new game."

"This game is also a MOBA."

"I've already downloaded this game in advance, so let's go see how it is now."

When Wei Da Xian's voice sounded, many viewers already knew what game he was talking about.

After all, there were only two MOBA mobile games on the market right now.

"Da Xian, why are you also taking ads for King? Isn't Douyu in conflict with Junzi Group?"

"I bet it's a smear piece. Many Douyu game streamers have trashed this game."

No matter how much the comments argued.

Wei Da Xian had already tapped on King on his phone and entered the game.

Of course.

His purpose for streaming King today was indeed guessed by some viewers: he had taken money to deliberately slander it.

So, not a single good word about King would come out of his mouth.

Although he had never played King before and this was his first time playing it.

He believed in his on-the-spot performance and that there would be no problems.

And as soon as he opened King, he began to disparage it.

"This beginner's guide is so troublesome, it's clearly a waste of time."

"There's not even a deny mechanic, the difficulty is so simple, isn't this a game only elementary school students would play?"

"You can buy equipment without going back to base, there's absolutely no competitiveness."

"Why do heroes only have three skills? Boring, so boring."

For a period afterward.

Every time he started a match in King, Wei Da Xian would complain for a long time.

After playing a few rounds, he even returned directly to the desktop and opened dota mobile game.

"This King game can't compare to dota mobile game at all, it's trash. Let's continue playing Dota Mobile."

Due to Wei Da Xian's bias.

Most of the viewers watching his stream also believed his words, and some who had originally thought of downloading King to try it gave up on the idea.

"Since Da Xian said this game is no good, it must be a trash game."

"Although this game looks like it has good simplification of controls, listening to Da Xian, it seems these simplifications are completely unnecessary."

Although there were many King players speaking out in the full screen of comments.

They were quickly drowned out by the comments from other players.

After streaming for a while longer, Da Xian finally ended his broadcast.

However, after closing his live stream, what he thought about was not Dota Mobile, but rather King.

The few games he played just now didn't seem to have satisfied him.

Thinking of this, Wei Da Xian reopened King, ready to play two more rounds.

He just didn't know that.

His action, before long, would bring a huge positive publicity effect to King! Corpse.

Wei Da Xian's disparagement of King during his stream.

Was just a microcosm of Douyu Live these past two days.

Almost all Douyu game streamers had taken money to publish negative articles about King.

One must know.

The viewers watching the game section of Douyu Live were basically all game users.

So these streams indeed had a considerable impact on King.

Although with the help of Douyin.

King's user base broke through five million in just a few days, but for several days afterward, King's daily user growth was almost only in the hundreds of thousands.

The night Wei Da Xian streamed.

Inside Penguin Group, within the mobile game department.

"Although this is only the seventh day of King's open beta."

"But King's daily user growth is already only in the hundreds of thousands."

Handing the report to Pony, Li Wenqiu had a smile on his face.

And Pony also nodded.

"This hundreds of thousands of user growth should all be from Douyin."

"Once all other internet media outside of Douyin are controlled by us, King will hardly be able to create a major impact anymore."
