The sword of online games runs on mountains and rivers

Chapter 245 We succeeded

At 15:35 p.m., the main venue of Swordsmanship.

The e-sports hall, which can accommodate 1 spectators, is full of seats at the moment, and the speakers around the venue start to play the BGM theme song of "Swords and Eight Wilds". Amidst the passionate music, the first opener of the Swords and Eights S[-] Global Finals kicks off.

In the real-time monitoring center on the west side of the venue, dozens of network engineers from Polaris Group stared at the real-time monitoring table on the computer without blinking.

"Not good! The number of visitors has surged, and the server can't hold it anymore..."

A middle-aged man sitting in the monitoring center looked nervous: "What's going on? We have prepared so many backup servers, why is it still like this?"

"Director, the number of viewers has exceeded [-] million!"

Hearing this, the man couldn't help taking a breath, and then quickly reacted: "First adopt an emergency plan, limit the number of visitors to the live broadcast room, and I will report the situation to the leader."

There is no room for him to be careless. Although Polaris has prepared many idle servers and bandwidth resources for this global finals, it obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of global players.

[-] million people watched the live broadcast at the same time!

This number can't help breaking all previous records in the live broadcasting industry, and even set N world records in one fell swoop.

Even in the field of traditional live TV broadcasting, [-] million people watching at the same time is enough to shock the eyes of countless people.

And not only...

"The number of visits is still increasing rapidly!"

Confused, the supervisor glanced at the traffic monitoring software in the background of the official live broadcast room, and found that this momentum has not stopped, but is steadily rising.

"It has reached the limit of the server group..." The tongue of the commissioner in charge of statistics was trembling: "[-] million people... and it is still increasing!"

This is horrible!

You know, in order to make this global finals broadcast live to players all over the world at the same time, Polaris set up a total of thousands of servers for data exchange.

According to theory, this server group is enough to host more than [-] million independent IPs for access and viewing.

This upper limit is already terrifying. You must know that the "Spring Festival Gala" that dominated the TV media decades ago, although the coverage was extremely wide, the number of terminals definitely did not exceed [-] million.Because a family may only have one TV, it is impossible for everyone to watch the Spring Festival Gala with a TV.

It is also in the era of mobile Internet that this "miracle" of [-] million independent IPs accessing a webpage at the same time can be created.

"Kakaka is dead!"

"Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka Ka!"

"Tiandao Tips: Close the webpage and restart the client, which can greatly improve the viewing fluency!"

"so horrible!"

"Be the first in the daytime!"

"Is this barrage number serious?"

"Yangmeihua, I know you are watching, I love you!"

"Young lady in the front row!"

The official game live broadcast room at this moment is extremely chaotic.

Polaris did not expect so many spectators to appear, and the previous preparations were stretched.Even if ordinary players block all the barrage and turn on the lowest picture quality, there will still be obvious stuttering and silence.

As for someone who relied on the speed of the Internet to turn on the legendary Blu-ray 10M "gorgeous barrage" mode, he quickly understood a truth.

Caton sometimes really has nothing to do with the speed of the Internet!
Even those local tyrants have amazing internet speeds, but at this moment, all beings are equal.

Whether it is Gigabit fiber or 10M broadband, there is no difference in viewing experience.Caton was visibly upset, no matter who it was, there was a burst of anger in their stomachs.

Then Polaris suffered.

Polaris' official website was immediately bombarded by many netizens.Many people have complained about Polaris' inability to do things well. They obviously made so much money by selling fashion, but they couldn't even do a live broadcast of the game.

Seeing that the game was about to start, Polaris was also burning with anxiety. The network engineers racked their brains and diverted some idle resources from the main server group of "Sword of Heaven" to finally solve the emergency.

The stuttering and silence of the live broadcast of the game finally eased, but this incident that happened in just ten minutes immediately attracted the attention of many parties.

Overwhelmed the server?

While this isn't common, it's not unheard of.But those companies whose servers were overwhelmed were all small companies. Big companies like Polaris actually had their servers overwhelmed one day.

How many spectators are there in this global finals?
"The national server has 1.73 million people, the European server has 0.63 million people, the US server has 0.91 million people, the Japanese server has 1.1 million people, the Korean server has 0.38 million people, and the world server has 1.27 million people..."

When the data from the official live broadcast rooms was gathered together, everyone who saw the data was shocked.

6.02 billion!
This is the final stable data of this live broadcast. Although there are still people entering the official live broadcast room, the increase is not as exaggerated as it was at the beginning.As the data stabilizes, the final number of viewers should be around 6.5 million.

"We made it!"

In the meeting room on the top floor of the Polaris Building in Jiangchuan City, many Polaris executives finally let go of their worries after seeing this data.

What this data represents, I believe no one knows better than them.

A full [-] million people watched at the same time. The global finals of "Swords and Eight Wilds" held by them is already comparable to the Olympic Games, World Cup, Super Bowl and other top sports events in terms of audience.

You know, this is just the first global finals of Swordsmanship, and it's just the beginning.As long as the chain is not lost in the future, it is almost a certainty that the swordsman event will surpass these other sports competitions in terms of influence.

"Chairman, and the TV media!"

"..."

Everyone woke up instantly and was stunned by this surprise.

Yes!This is just the viewership statistics of the webcast, and the number of viewers on the TV network has not been counted.If all of them are counted, what a terrifying number will be the final number of viewers?
"We've done it!"

The chairman, known as the "Polaris guiding light", burst into tears instantly. Thinking that this was just the first grand scene of swordsmanship, and there are infinite possibilities in the future, he couldn't help but recall the time when he spoke at the press conference half a year ago. The wild words released.

"Our professional competitions will definitely surpass the Olympic Games and the World Cup and become the peak event shared by all mankind! This is not a fantasy, but an inevitability!"

The blown cowhide still echoed in his ears. He thought that he would at least have to wait for the second session of Swordsmanship to realize this wish.Unexpectedly, only half a year has passed, and the big words that were uttered out loud at the beginning have become facts.

With so many viewers, who would dare to deny that Swordsman has not surpassed the influence of the Olympics and the World Cup?
Although the audience does not represent everything, it is enough to represent a large part.

From the beginning of the establishment of the swordsman event, it has been advancing towards the goal of "human being's first competitive event".They successfully created a carnival feast for all mankind, and also fulfilled the promise they made to the players.
