Day 3, 8 p.m., quarterfinals.

It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a much-anticipated competition, not only is the viewing area on the fourth floor of the New World Game Center full, but also the new live broadcast channel of the game on the official website of New World Games, Battle.net, and the current number of online users has exceeded 6 million.

The first game is quite interesting, the Shuimu team vs. the Haiyan team, in the Internet era, the background of these two teams has long been no secret, the Shuimu team, the strongest team of Huaqing University, the Haiyan team, and the strongest team of Beiyan University.

These two universities have been competing in the field of education and academic for a long time, although Huaxia University has always been slightly ahead of Beiyan University in the national university rankings, but the gap is only a millimeter.

As a result, the alumni of these two schools, in particular, paid special attention to this competition.

Lindy's task is to organize the competition, but he really doesn't have much interest in the competition itself, so he simply checks the backstage data on the sixth floor.

During this time, because of the holding of NWG and the completion of ten new Internet cafes, the popularity of New World Games is rising, and the number of downloads of Counter-Strike has exceeded 2.3 million per day.

At the same time, it has also driven the download of Tetris, from the previous 400,000 per day to the current 480,000.

As for the Internet café, it is currently full every day, but since many players will go to the Internet café to train in teams, it is still impossible to conclude how good the business of the Internet café is.

"CS's current sales are getting better and better, and when the number of downloads reaches 80 million, you can release the game in your hand. "Lindy is now holding more than Contra and Resident Evil, he also has four new games, which are the rewards for completing the first four-star mission of Counter-Strike, but he doesn't want to distract players, so it's better to complete the five-star mission of Counter-Strike as soon as possible and then release a new game.

While Lindy was pondering how to arrange the work at hand, a deafening cheer rang out from downstairs.

Lindy controls the R-735 metal on the wall to simulate an LCD monitor and turn on the game scene.

The first quarterfinals have been decided, and the Haiyan team of Beiyan University won the game 16-14, becoming the first team to enter the semifinals.

This battle can be regarded as a battle for Beiyan University, and there is one more victory in their record against Huaxia University.

On the live broadcast channel of the new world battle network, the barrage also flew up.

"It's exciting, it's too thrilling, it's a two-point victory. ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity, Mizuki's "praise me" is very strong, but the "one shot to the end of the world" on the other side is not weak, and Haiyan seems to have studied Mizuki's tactics very thoroughly, and several times he has calculated Mizuki's tactics. ”

"The key is that Haiyan's start is too good, directly annihilating the opponent, accumulating money in the early stage of the game, and the machine gun is the first to start, and the opponent's small pistol can't be stopped at all, if it weren't for the first Mizuki not playing well, the result is really hard to say. ”

In CS matches, the starting capital of both sides in the first game is 800, and each game will increase the money, and if you kill the enemy in the game, you will also get 300 yuan of head money, plus the "salary" received in each game, then as long as you don't die, after three rounds of economic bureaus, you can buy machine guns faster.

The gap between pistols and machine guns is still a bit big, and this advantage will snowball.

Therefore, it is very important to win the game by playing the first few economic bureaus well.

The first game did not disappoint the audience, and the rest of the show continued.

In the second game, the Qili team played against the foreigner team.

This foreigner team is one of the two foreign civilian teams, the STAR team from the United Kingdom.

The two teams are evenly matched, and both have their own star players, and Team Qili's star player ID is called "Don't Shoot", and he is good at using AK and M4.

The star player of Team STAR is named BLUE, and he is good at using sniper rifles.

It is worth mentioning that BLUE is also one of the three major sniper gods in the minds of players.

In the end, Qili lost to the STAR team 13-17 and stopped in the quarterfinals.

Subsequently, Team KING defeated Team POWER, a civilian team from Russia, and Team THREE, a military team from Germany, defeated Team THREE.

The top four teams have all been produced, two Huaxia teams, Haiyan team and Huaxia Eagle team, two foreign teams, KING team and STAR team.

When on Earth, there is still a certain gap between the Chinese professional team and the international community in the CS project, but here, the performance of the Huaxia team is actually very good, if you exclude several military teams, Huaxia players are actually crushing foreign teams, and among the top 16, only two teams are teams from foreign civilian teams.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Lindy's cell phone began to ring.

The first one to call him was Bai Mengqi, after all, Bai Mengqi is also a loyal player of CS.

"Hey, Lindy, I want to go to the New World Game Center in the evening to watch the finals. ”

"Then you come and don't need a ticket. ”

"No, you're not an insider, can you help me find a better position? I want four tickets. ”

It turned out that Bai Mengqi had this idea, and Lindy would not shirk this kind of trivial matter, "Okay." ”

As soon as the phone hung up, Zhu Liang called again.

"Lindy, in the evening final, can you help me get a few positions in the front row?"

"How many?"

"Eight. ”

Fortunately, the single floor of the New World Game Center is very large, and the position of the front row does not have to be the first row, just arrange the position of four or five rows.

"Okay, got it. ”

Since this kind of thing is a gesture in Lindy's place, there is no need for Lindy to refuse his classmates.

However, Su Nuo's call came again.

"Lindy, can you help me get two positions in your game that night? ”

"You watch the game too?"

"Well, yes, you don't know that there are videos of the game everywhere on the Internet now, so I might as well watch the video live. ”

"Two locations, right. ”

"Well, I want to go with a friend of mine. ”

"Why don't you arrange it next to Mengqi?"

"Mengqi is going too?"

"Well, she just called me. ”

"This guy doesn't even call me!"

Lin Di smiled and shook his head, maybe Mengqi didn't expect Su Nuo to go to the game.

After arranging Su Nuo, Lin Di thought that it should be almost, but the phone rang again, and Lin Di looked down, Secretary Feng.

"Xiaolin, congratulations, the competition was a success, and the final venue was in our Z City, sure enough, I didn't mistake you. ”

Lin Di smiled, worthy of Secretary Feng, he finally didn't come to ask for a ticket.

"Secretary Feng, it's over. ”

"By the way, Xiaolin, do you have any spare tickets over there?"

Well, Lindy was still happy too soon.

In fact, Lindy does not sell tickets, and players choose their own seats in the order of entering the venue.

But since Secretary Feng asked so, Lin Di probably guessed what he wanted to say.

"How many more, are you?"

"Oh, that's right, my son, that kid actually likes your game very much, I think about it, children, the pressure of studying is also high, you can also relax appropriately, if you have any remaining tickets there, see if you can leave me a few, I'll come and pick them up tomorrow morning." ”

"Secretary Feng, look at what you said, I have a ticket here, I'll ask someone to send it to you tomorrow, how many do you think you want?"

"In this way, it's really bothering you Xiao Lin, then you can ask someone to send me fourteen tickets tomorrow. ”

Lindy almost vomited blood here, didn't you say that your son wanted to see it? Old Feng, how many sons do you have?

Of course, just say it in your heart.

Secretary Feng spoke, it was not a big deal, and Lin Di could only agree.

Putting down the phone, Lindy shook his head, good guy, fortunately, there are not many people he knows, and he can't bear it anymore because of the stacks of friendship tickets.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the fourth floor of the New World Game Center was already full, and even from the first floor to the third floor, Lindy also arranged for the LCD wall to broadcast the game live, and those viewers who did not enter the scene on the fourth floor also occupied the downstairs.

On the live channel of Battle.net, 8.4 million viewers are waiting in front of the network for the start of the match.

This time, Lindy also sat in the audience, in the sixth or seventh row, Qian Lai, Chu Feng, and Huang Ying sat next to him.

On the sci-fi stage, the lights flickered, and the shocking "It's My Life" was played around, and in the sound of lights and music, Ling'er and a young man who Lindy didn't know were hosting.

"Dear viewers and friends, the semi-finals of the first NWG E-sports Tournament are about to start, the first game is the Haiyan team against the STAR team, please debug the machine for players from both sides, if you need to replace your own peripherals, please communicate with our staff. ”

Offstage, Lin Di could see a lot of familiar figures in front of him, Su Nuo, Bai Mengqi, Zhu Liang, but what surprised him a little was that Tang He was also there, it seemed that among the tickets that Secretary Feng wanted, Tang He also had Tang He's share.

"Boss, how is your level?" Qian Lai has also been in the competition venue for the past few days, so naturally he has watched a lot of games and knows a few more powerful players.

"I'm a veteran. Lindy said perfunctorily.

As soon as he finished saying this, Chu Feng next to him suddenly turned his head and glanced at Lin Di.

Lin Di almost forgot that Chu Feng had fought with him, no wonder his eyes were so strange.

"Mr. Lin, the FRESH and GUNGUNGUN in this KING are very strong. Chu Feng is really concerned about the game, "I estimate that the champion this time will be KING's." ”

Chu Feng's tone was a little regretful, after all, he, a veteran, still had obvious patriotic feelings.

"It's just a game, you don't need to take it so seriously. For me, as long as I'm a player of New World Games, whoever wins the championship is the same. Lin Di looked at Chu Feng with a smile, "Besides, I don't think KING may be able to win the championship." ”

Chu Feng looked at Lin Di in some surprise, "Mr. Lin, I don't think GUNGUNGUN's sniping level is below you." ”

Although Chu Feng's voice was low, it was still very penetrating, no, the first few audience members still looked back at Lin Di strangely through such a noisy environment.

Lindy is also very wronged, this is not what he said, why should he look at him.

"You guys like that guy named Flying in the Clouds, he's definitely going to be a dark horse. "Of course, if his teammates don't realize this guy's talent for games, then I'm talking about it." ”

Yun Zhongfei is the substitute player of the Haiyan team, Deng Fei's ID, the guy who is called by his teammates to play extremely unstable.

Why is it inconsistent? Because he's been figuring out a sniper rifle technique that no one has tried yet.

And this technology is not even among the four techniques of throwing, waiting, jumping, and blind that Lindy said.

Its name is called, Flash Sniper.
