The popularity of Lingyun Sword slowly decreased, and after a month of free public beta, it officially began to charge for operation, which did make many players leave Lingyun Sword, but most players still chose to stay, and the number of online users every day can be stable between 2.6 million and 3 million, and the number of online users on weekends has increased by one or two percent.

This achievement should be the first time in the history of online travel in Huaxia, and the highest number of online users in other prop charging games is only more than 1.5 million, and the sword of Lingyun, a point card timing and charging game, can also have more than 2.6 million online people after the official charge operation, according to statistics, the number of paying players has exceeded 8 million, which is enough to kill all the current online games in seconds.

Li Haoyu and the people of the mythical company were already busy again shortly after the open beta of Lingyun Sword before they had time to enjoy the joy of success, and this time they were busy with the CCG league that had been planned last year.

Since Shinhwa announced last year that it would start preparing for the CCG League, this event has attracted the attention of e-sports fans in China and even most countries and regions in East Asia, and Shinhwa has been preparing for the first CCG League, and also went to South Korea to hire Park Kyung-hyun, the former executive chairman of WCG, to serve as a special consultant of CCG, responsible for guiding the holding of the CCG League.

This Korean has been in a state of no work since WCG announced the closure, and now he has been hired by Shinhwa Company, and immediately came to Yamaseong to give advice with all his skills. At his suggestion, the organizers of CCG were separated from a division of Myth and became an independent department, which did not accept any form of influence from Myth, but CCG prioritized Myth's advertising requirements.

Park Kyung-hyun, a South Korean, does have a few brushes, and under his guidance, a CCG tournament has been set up in a super-large Internet café in the capital city of every province in China as the home field, responsible for the training and tour of the major teams. Former partners from other countries approached Shinhyun with Park Kyung-hyun's introduction and were willing to serve as the organizers of the CCG League in that country, responsible for determining the ranking of the CCG League in that country.

At the beginning of 2015, Shinhwa announced that the CCG League began to accept applications from various teams, requiring teams of at least fifteen people, participating in more than three competitions, and having a stable source of funding. At the same time, the CCG League also accepts individual registration, and can participate in StarCraft 2, Warcraft 3, and FIFA football games in single-player matchups.

Large companies also saw the business opportunities brought by this CCG, and they also began to set up CCG teams, and Huaxia's Waha Luha was the first to come out to set up CCG teams, and began to hire e-sports masters with high salaries from all over the world. Subsequently, companies such as Master Kong and JDB have also announced the establishment of their own CCG teams, and even the well-known Pepsi and Coco Cola in the international market have also established CCG teams, and various CCG teams have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

On April 22, 2015, the CCG organizers officially announced the opening of the first CCG League, which will be held in 15 countries and regions including China, South Korea, Japan, and Singapore in a week.

Shinhwa also announced that it will sponsor the CCG League organizer for $10 million to obtain the naming rights, so the full name of the first CCG League should be called "Shinhwa Network's First CCG League". Other companies with strength and want to make a name for themselves have also followed suit, such as Huaxia's "Li Ning" sportswear, which invested $2 million to win the first clothing of all the players in the CCG finals, and many companies have seen the huge popularity brought by this league and have sponsored this league for various reasons.

CCG's organizers estimate that these sponsors have contributed to a total of about $35 million, and with the cost of online TV broadcasts, the CCG League will not only require a penny from Myth to invest a penny, but will also be able to make a lot of surplus.

There are more than 100 teams and more than 3,000 players in the Huaxia region, and the CCG League has held several brutal knockout rounds in order to make the progress of the Huaxia tournament the same as that of foreign countries. After the last round, 32 teams and 200 players were selected to enter the round-robin tournament, and after almost four months of continuous competition, the ranking was determined by the lowest scores.

The top 3 teams and the top 10 individuals will compete against teams and players from other countries and regions in the finals.

The CCG League officially started on April 30th, with hundreds of teams and thousands of players competing in more than 10 countries and regions at the same time.

Li Haoyu took advantage of Xiao Yuqing's holiday on May Day, and immediately arrived in Yanjing by plane to talk about the pain of lovesickness, and after meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Xiao Yuqing accompanied him to visit the places of interest in Yanjing for two days. On May 5th, Xiao Yuqing brought him to the CCG Yanjing Division, and today was the first time her good friend participated in the CCG round-robin tournament.

"Yuqing, what kind of project did your friend participate in?" Li Haoyu asked curiously with a pair of toad mirrors, before this he had learned that Xiao Yuqing's friend was a woman, and he was also a beauty, otherwise Li Haoyu, who was jealous, would not have come here to cheer if he was killed.

Xiao Yuqing also wore toad glasses, and said while driving: "It's a FIFA football match I participated in." ”

Li Haoyu's eyes widened, "Are you sure that friend of yours is really a woman?" ”

It's not that there are no female fans who like football, when most of those female fans like those handsome guys on the field, there are very few people who really understand and are interested in football, and now Li Haoyu heard that a woman is going to participate in FIFA's CCG League, and she has also passed the brutal knockout round robin and entered the round-robin, of course he is a little surprised.

Xiao Yuqing said with a smile: "Of course my friend is a woman, and she is also a big beauty, her FIFA level is very high, I think she has the possibility of winning the top ten." ”

Li Haoyu is noncommittal, Huaxia plays football games so much, it is really very difficult for a woman to win the top ten.

The two soon arrived at CCG's Yanjing Division, a super-large Internet café with more than 500 computers, which is second to none in Yanjing. The organizers of CCG have already reached an agreement with the owner of this Internet café that during the CCG competition, the Internet café will set up a special area for the competition, and no one except the players and special guests can enter.

Li Haoyu deliberately got two invitation cards since he knew that Xiao Yuqing was going to watch the game, and with this invitation card, the two were able to enter the CCG competition area unimpeded.

"Yang Yan! Over here! ”

In the competition area, there is a room of about 100 square meters, more than 50 high-performance computers are neatly arranged in several rows, thirty or fifty people are busy with their own work, there are more than ten people wearing two kinds of uniforms, it seems that there should be two different teams, and more than ten people are sitting on the sofa next to them in casual clothes, these should be individual players. There are also some people who are on the staff, nervously debugging computers and broadcast equipment.

Xiao Yuqing saw a girl with a ponytail sitting on the sofa looking at a magazine at a glance, and walked over to greet her.

The girl named Yang Yan happily hugged Xiao Yuqing and said, "Yuqing, why are you here too?" You can't get in here without an invitation card, right? ”

Xiao Yuqing pouted at Li Haoyu on the side and said, "The invitation card he got me, Yang Yan, how can I be present at your game." ”

Yang Yan noticed Li Haoyu at this time, and suddenly pointed at Li Haoyu and said, "You are the ...... of that mythical company"

Xiao Yuqing hurriedly covered Yang Yan's mouth and said, "Shhh, don't say it!" ”

Yang Yan nodded again and again, looked at Li Haoyu and said excitedly: "Wow! You are Yuqing's boyfriend, Li Haoyu, the chairman of Mythical Company, I adore you very much, and I'll give me an autograph later! ”

Li Haoyu touched his nose, he didn't expect that he would have fans quietly, shook hands with Yang Yan and said: "No problem, as long as you can win the first place in today's CCG competition, not to mention an autograph, even a group photo is no problem." ”

Xiao Yuqing pouted and said, "I also want to take a group photo together." ”

Yang Yan smiled and said, "Okay, Yuqing, you have spoken, how dare I have a reason not to follow!" ”

The three of them chatted for a while, and then a staff member asked the players to prepare for the competition.

The strength of these two teams is not bad, and the battle is still exciting, but it is already noon when the two teams have finished several events, so the individual players can only compete in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, Yang Yan started her first CCG round-robin tournament, and her opponent was a thin and thin man in his early twenties, wearing glasses, and he looked like the kind of person who stayed at home all day, and this kind of person was generally very good at skills.

The FIFA games in the CCG league are all 2014 versions, and the players each choose a club in the Champions League to participate in the game, Yang Yan chose Real Madrid in La Liga, and her opponent chose the Red Devils Manchester United of the Premier League.

Because Yang Yan is the only woman in this FIFA match, she naturally received more attention, and Yang Yan lost 1:2 to the glasses man in the first half. Just when everyone thought that Yang Yan had lost, Yang Yan came to a big reversal, scoring 3 goals in the second half to 4; The match was won by an aggregate score of 2.

Yang Yan was originally a big beauty, and because she showed her strength, she was called the flower of Chinese e-sports by e-sports enthusiasts!
