Chapter 714 - 299: One Game Worth Ten Billion (Part 3)
Li Yang knows very well that in this year of his previous life, it was with an old sneaky strategy that they directly won the world championship.
He may not have better shooting skills than the opposition, but his technique is not weak. Besides, he confirmed that the FPP genius did not enter the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds event player list, but was on Blue Hole’s PUBG list.
Ahem, PUBG is almost on the verge of shutting down now.
They simply do not have the energy to maintain the game, because the losses are very severe, and cheat scripts are rampant.
Currently, the PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds tournament has expanded significantly, with forty-eight global teams entering the world competition.
Li Yang’s Koala Team belongs to those who directly made it to the top twenty-four, so there were no matches in the initial stage.
Now the players of PCL are quite strong, unlike the LPL players next door, who now stream bean games every day; the popularity has really dropped, the clubs are suffering serious losses, and they can’t afford to pay out millions or even tens of millions in annual salaries.
The PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds tournament department has strict regulations for players, prohibiting them from swearing in stream, and not allowing them to play bean games, behaviors similar to gambling.
They are practically ruining the atmosphere!
After Li Yang came to Modu, he kept participating in various training matches, until the end of October when he officially welcomed the first match.
Five days later, Koala Team advanced to the top sixteen as the second rank.
On November 7th, the five-day final stage kicked off.
Already twenty-odd days into the event, every day can dominate the global trending list, plus with Li Yang still here, the whole tournament’s popularity keeps increasing each year.
All that money wasn’t invested for nothing.
PCL viewers are still quite apprehensive because Korea Team is strong this year, and North America also holds competitive strength.
In contrast, after Koala Team sold two strong players, their strength isn’t as formidable.
Even Li Yang is seen by everyone as lacking his previous dominance on the field.
Advancing to the top sixteen, and still being the second rank, mainly due to good luck, landing a few circles.
When it came to the final stage, Koala Team’s circle luck wasn’t good at all.
After four days, although Koala Team forced themselves to remain in sixth place, they were just under thirty points behind the first place, yet still far from winning the crown.
Li Yang himself had no way, the luck was too damn bad.
In this game, luck itself takes up thirty percent of the factor, while skill only takes seventy percent.
Yet he couldn’t even get a full ten percent out of that thirty percent luck.
Fortunately, after the fifth day started, the luck warmed up a bit.
In the first match, they ranked second, eliminated 11 opponents.
In the second match, they ranked fifth, eliminated 8 opponents.
In the third match, they ranked third, eliminated 6 opponents.
In the fourth match, they ranked ninth, eliminated 4 opponents.
In the crucial fifth match, they ranked fourth, eliminated 12 opponents.
On the last day, Koala Team rose directly as they were fighting through, after the fifth match, they went from sixth to third, only eight points away from first.
And there’s still one last match left.
"Scripted win! Scripted win!"
The entire network’s comments were flooding with this.
Undoubtedly, this result presents both risk and reward equally for Li Yang.
If he succeeds, he’s the greatest esports player ever, even if his talent is mediocre.
If he fails, although the overall impact wouldn’t be big, PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds events aiming to move up would be difficult.
This match to Li Yang holds benefits reaching over billions!
He had never been this serious before, nor had he thought about how a match could bring him pressure.
Previously, he thought as long as he did what he could, win or lose, any result could be accepted.
But in this match, he doesn’t want to lose!
As the sixth match begins, Li Yang takes a deep breath and enters the zone.
Perhaps the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. Just ten minutes later, Koala Team was blocked outside the circle, with all sixteen teams still in, and Koala Team had zero eliminations.
At this moment, Koala Team’s terrain was disadvantageous, their vehicle was damaged, leaving only a motorcycle hidden in a container.
