Li Hong nodded, understanding that discussing these meaningless details now was pointless. It would be better to wait until the sales situation of the so-called Seasonal Exclusive Skin was revealed before talking further.
"Then hurry up and launch this Prize Pool skin. At the same time, we can start selecting teams for the World Championship," he said.
"Alright, we won't bother with any other formalities. After all, this is the first season; we can just throw something together," Mark replied with a nod.
Ideally, the selection process for the World Championship should be rigorous and progressive. Unfortunately, the Goddess Alliance didn't even have a professional system in place yet, so they had to make do for now.
"How many teams should participate in the World Championship?" Mark asked next.
"Let's keep it at four teams for now," Li Hong stated seriously. "Even though this is our first time, we need to maintain some standards. We should try to establish more regions and implement the selection system for the Goddess Alliance's events."
"Got it," Mark said, jotting down Li Hong's points before nodding in agreement.
The two then finalized the venue for the Goddess Alliance's World Championship.
Regardless of whether it seemed extravagant or not, Li Hong insisted that the inaugural World Championship be held at the Bird's Nest.
Despite Mark's reluctance to follow through with this demand, he had no choice but to agree. Holding the World Championship at the Bird's Nest would incur a significant rental cost.
Moreover, it wasn't as simple as just wanting to rent the Bird's Nest; approval from the Chinese Government was also required. The approval process would likely be quite complicated.
However, Li Hong had already devised a plan. By promoting it as the event with the highest prize money in the world, he believed that the Bird's Nest would not refuse this collaboration.
Additionally, there was no need to rent it for an extended period. The preliminary rounds and elimination matches could take place in other cities. Only during the finals would they officially move to the Bird's Nest. This way, they could save a substantial amount on rental fees.
Well, Mark couldn't argue against his boss's opinion and had no choice but to accept it all.
In the Goddess Alliance Season 1 World Championship, the decision was quickly made through their brief conversation.
Soon after, the Goddess Alliance client underwent an update. A hastily produced Seasonal Exclusive Skin, designed to contribute to the Prize Pool, was launched in the skin shop.
The newly released Seasonal Exclusive Skin featured Demacia's Power Garen. The loading screen for the skin prominently displayed a large S1 logo. Mark and his team were determined to uphold this tradition, so even though it was rushed, the skin was not as rough around the edges as others.
For reasons unknown, someone decided to give this skin a playful twist by making it a gold version, particularly favored by players from Huaxia, dubbed the Rich Gamer edition.
Garen's armor design was reimagined by these talented designers.
Named "S1 Justice Descends," this Seasonal Exclusive Skin had very few Special Effects, primarily showcasing the Rich Gamer gold appearance. However, it was still quite impressive, considering it was a rushed creation.
"The next season's exclusive skin should be even better," Mark remarked.
Regarding the S1 Justice Descends skin, Mark wasn't entirely satisfied. Unfortunately, due to time constraints, they had to make do with what they had.

Piao Duan Diao woke up in his small apartment and rubbed his sleepy eyes.
Having streamed until three in the morning last night left him feeling a bit off now.
Fortunately, he had grown accustomed to such late nights. After all, this was how he earned his living; getting used to it was inevitable.
After freshening up and hastily grabbing a bite for breakfast, Piao Duan Diao sat down at his computer.
There had been rumors that the Goddess Alliance would undergo a significant update today. As a dedicated streamer for the game, how could Piao Duan Diao not pay attention?
This was actually the first time since he started streaming that he woke up this early. He did so not for any other reason but to familiarize himself with the upcoming game updates as quickly as possible. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to handle things during his evening stream.
"Is the upgrade package really that small? Are they trying to fool us?" Piao Duan Diao said, looking at the tiny update installation package with suspicion.
Is this really the legendary super update? It feels like a scam. What can we expect from such a small content? Fixing bugs and resolving issues probably takes up most of it, right? This update can't possibly change anything significant.
Deeply doubting that he had been tricked, Piao Duan Diao clicked the upgrade button amidst his uncertainty.
After all, he made a living through live streaming, and internet speed was no joke. Within seconds, the upgrade package was installed, and he entered the game.
As soon as he logged in, Piao Duan Diao noticed something new and intriguing.
For the first time, the game’s main interface had changed!
Displayed prominently was a skin for Demacia's Power; this was the first time a skin had its own dedicated section on the game’s homepage.
In the past, skins were promoted as part of a series, but now there was a headline section solely for promoting one skin. That was quite rare.
However, that wasn't what truly captivated Piao Duan Diao; after all, it was just a skin and not worth making a fuss over.
What truly amazed him was that this skin was labeled as a Seasonal Exclusive Skin.
"Seasonal exclusive? What does that mean?" Driven by curiosity, Piao Duan Diao quickly clicked on the link for this skin.
After glancing at the description, he gasped in astonishment.
This skin would only be sold during specific seasons and would never return once the World Championship season ended.
Moreover, the most crucial detail was that half of the revenue from this skin would be directly injected into the Prize Pool for that Season's World Championship by Riot Games. The winning team would enjoy all the prize money from that Prize Pool.
After reading all of this, Piao Duan Diao could only think of two words to describe his feelings: absolutely amazing!
This is truly impressive; who would have thought it could be played like this?
Piao Duan Diao had never seen such a flashy operation before, and how could one possibly resist? Taking a glance at the price of this skin, it wasn't too expensive—only a hundred bucks.
Of course, that was considered high-priced among skins. However, knowing that half of that money would go into the Prize Pool, Piao Duan Diao didn’t feel that a hundred bucks was too steep anymore.
Many players shared the same sentiment at that moment.
Within just two hours of the Goddess Alliance client being updated, Riot Games's backend showed that the total number of players purchasing the Seasonal Exclusive Skin had already surpassed ten million.
At this point, the total number of players who had just updated their client was only around twenty-five million. This meant that half of those who saw this skin chose to buy it.
Among these buyers, the vast majority were Free-to-Play Players who had never spent money before. However, to support this Seasonal Exclusive Skin, many Free-to-Play Players decided to contribute their own funds.
