However, Mark and the others were not particularly surprised. With the player base of the Goddess Alliance, achieving such results was only to be expected.
Just look at every iTournament, and you can see that by fully utilizing the power of the players, the accumulated Prize Pool becomes a Vernacular.
However, the number of purchases had nearly reached its peak, and it would gradually decline from here on out.
After all, those who needed to update their clients had mostly done so; others either didn't have time to play or had already quit the game.
Nevertheless, this achievement still took everyone by surprise.
Ten million purchases—what does that even mean?
The entire Seasonal Exclusive Skin costs a full hundred Soft Sister Coins. Although prices vary across different servers, they are generally similar.
Taking the ten million purchase volume into account, that already amounts to a sales figure of one billion Soft Sister Coins. This has surpassed one hundred million dollars and is heading toward two hundred million dollars.
Half of this would be injected into the Prize Pool, meaning a total Prize Pool of five hundred million. The Goddess Alliance's World Championship, even before it has started, has already become the highest prize money event in the world.
Li Hong, witnessing all this, was unable to contain his excitement as he instructed Mark, "Quickly release this data! Let's take this opportunity to push for a one hundred million dollar Prize Pool. At the same time, we can use this chance to promote our Goddess Alliance."
Mark nodded and quickly turned to leave. He needed to contact those Media Reporters; it was time to announce the explosive data of the Goddess Alliance.
...
Soon, major media outlets received news from Riot Games and reported on the matter.
Penguin News: "Goddess Alliance Seasonal Exclusive Skin explodes in popularity; World Championship Prize Pool tops the charts globally!"
Cat Search: "Explosive! Half-time Prize Pool climbs to world number one; why is Goddess Alliance so crazy?"
Pig Farm: "Looking forward to the Bird's Nest finals—a battle that will determine billions in wealth!"
Old Wave: "The feast of wealth before it even begins—are you ready?"
"..."
Such explosive news, the media certainly gave it the spotlight it deserved.
These outlets essentially monopolized the ears and eyes of internet users in Huaxia, and with this wave of free publicity, the news about the Goddess Alliance s1 World Championship quickly spread across the nation.
This was a story worth telling in detail, and these unscrupulous journalists did their utmost to embellish it.
In no time, Everyone learned that the World Championship for the game Goddess Alliance had become the event with the highest prize pool in history.
Even state-run media, which usually shied away from gaming news, began to share this story.
Before long, rumors about players climbing to wealth through gaming started circulating.
The buzz generated by these reports reignited players' enthusiasm for purchases. Soon, sales of the s1 Seasonal Exclusive Skin began to rise sharply.
By afternoon, the Official Website of the Game announced that the prize pool for the Goddess Alliance s1 World Championship had accumulated to one hundred million dollars. The developers were preparing to contact Guinness World Records Official to apply for a certificate recognizing it as the event with the highest championship prize money in history.
Quickly, Guinness World Records's Official Weibo account confirmed this news from the developers.
One record after another had completely propelled Goddess Alliance into fame!
Right under the noses of Li Hong and Mark, the peak online player count for Goddess Alliance began to soar along an incredible trajectory.
By evening, this peak online number had reached a remarkable Vernacular!
A full one hundred million concurrent players!
“Oh my god! This is almost catching up to League of Legends' highest online record!” Mark exclaimed, covering his mouth in astonishment.
The gap between Goddess Alliance and League of Legends was narrowing step by step.
The difference was that League of Legends took several years after its launch to reach a hundred million concurrent players. Yet, Goddess Alliance, astonishingly, broke through that barrier in less than a month since its release!
It was truly legendary!
Even Li Hong, who was well aware of the glory of League of Legends, was utterly shocked at this moment.
But this was far from the end; the further increase in the total number of players once again boosted the sales momentum of the S1 exclusive skins.
As for what the final numbers would be, no one knew. However, looking at the curve chart that was slowly approaching two hundred million dollars in the prize pool, Li Hong understood that by the time the World Championship opened, it would be a vernacular!
...
The excitement from Riot Games had not yet subsided when Piao Duan Diao opened his live stream.
Watching the viewer count soar in his stream, Piao Duan Diao exclaimed, "Looks like I really need to thank Riot; thanks to this wave of promotion, more people are watching my stream!"
Piao Duan Diao's words were not entirely unfounded; at least the total number of players in the Goddess Alliance had increased, and so had the viewers of his live stream.
Seeing that his viewer count was about to surpass five hundred thousand, Piao Duan Diao couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
As a streamer, who wouldn't want their live stream to have higher popularity?
Although Piao Duan Diao could be considered a major streamer himself, his viewer count had always been somewhat stagnant. After all, the number of Goddess Alliance players was limited. Tens of millions of Goddess Alliance players were scattered around the world.
Compared to the explosive popularity of Three Hundred Million Students, Goddess Alliance still lagged behind considerably.
This also meant that several major streamers from Goddess Alliance could not compete with those from Three Hundred Million Students.
However, the situation began to shift slowly; while Three Hundred Million Students remained popular, its momentum had started to wane. On the other hand, thanks to Riot's recent efforts, Goddess Alliance was gradually catching up to Three Hundred Million Students.
In fact, the total number of players in Goddess Alliance had long surpassed that of Three Hundred Million Students. Unfortunately, it still fell slightly short in terms of Chinese players.
After all, Goddess Alliance had players all over the world, while Three Hundred Million Students had a majority from China.
Yet now, unbeknownst to many, Three Hundred Million Students had already been surpassed by Goddess Alliance.
Although the margin wasn't very large, it still served as a strong encouragement for the streamers of Goddess Alliance.
Look, the game we're streaming is the best in the world, and we have the most players!
Piao Duan Diao said refreshingly, "Brothers, this is my first time having over five hundred thousand viewers in the live stream. No more chit-chat, let's get started! With Riot being so generous today, it's a nice benefit for us Goddess Alliance streamers. At least with more players, we also have more viewers, right? I sincerely thank Riot for this!"
"666, thanks to Daddy Riot for bringing in five hundred thousand viewers!"
"Riot: If you don't buy at least two skins to show some appreciation, that's not sincere!"
"Sorry Teacher Piao, your viewers are all from my account. If you don't believe me, I'll switch accounts and send you a 666!"
"Hey, look at Piao Duan Diao getting all inflated; he might end up with ten consecutive losses in ranked matches!"
