Chapter Ninety-Eight: Open Tournament (1)

Ling Xiaosu, as the CEO of a group with a very strategic vision, since he personally decided to organize this "Hero Cup" competition, of course he will not end up with a small fight. To do it, it is necessary to do it with great momentum, and only in this way can the pay be proportional to the return.

The official competition of the "Hero Cup" adopts the mode of brutal elimination, similar to the format of the NBA playoffs in the United States, where all teams will be divided into two halves, the upper and lower halves, and the champions of the last two halves to compete for the championship trophy.

The final champion will have a prize of up to 200,000 yuan, and even the runner-up will have a prize of 100,000 yuan.

In this competition, the promoter carried out a lot of publicity. Among them, Ling Xiaosu herself is personally sitting in the famous university Tianjing University, and the high prize money coupled with the reports of some of her friends in the media circle makes this e-sports competition particularly eye-catching.

Globally, esports events are becoming more and more accepted. Take advantage of this opportunity to organize a confrontation between universities, which can attract more attention.

Almost all over the country, the publicity of this competition has been seen. Therefore, in just over a week, it attracted teams from more than 100 universities and hundreds of teams to sign up.

But these hundreds of teams, it is impossible for each team to play the final knockout round, and each school can only enter the final competition.

Therefore, before the knockout rounds begin, there needs to be a bitter open competition between schools. The winning team in the Open Tournament will be able to advance to the knockout round.

It can be seen that the scale of this competition is huge and the audience it has attracted is so large.

Wang Shuai Game Club signed up for the "Hero Cup" competition, but if you want to enter the final knockout round, you must pass five levels and kill six generals, and the first thing to do is to stand out in Tianjing University.

And today, it is necessary to select the most representative one among the eight teams registered at Tianjing University.

In fact, there were far more than eight teams that had just signed up for Tenkyo University. However, with the merger between the various teams, there was a phenomenon of the main players of the team huddling together to keep warm, so some teams were dismantled, and some teams felt that their strength was not enough and withdrew, and in the end, the only eight teams left can be described as reorganized teams, each of which should not be underestimated.

During this period, Zhao Hu, the starting mid-laner player of the game club, also received invitations from five or six other teams. However, Zhao Hu is in the game club and cannot jump ship.

When they got the opponent's information from the competition side, Zhao Hu and others were still very worried. Because of the remaining seven teams, the strength on paper looks very luxurious, and in the auxiliary position on Zhao Hu's side, a silver-level auxiliary looks so eye-catching.

The eight teams were also divided into two halves to play the knockout round, and the team from the game club and the other three teams were divided into the lower half.

If you want to qualify for the final qualification, you must win three teams in a row, and if you fail once, you will be completely eliminated, which is also the charm of the knockout round. There can be a lot of instability involved.

Today, Ling Xiaosu also came to the scene.

"Mr. Ling, it's just an internal selection competition within the school, why are you here in person." The organizer of this competition, a man about thirty years old, said beside Ling Xiaosu.

Ling Xiaosu said: "Don't underestimate this selection competition, this is the most important moment to attract the attention of the entire school and unite people's hearts." ”

The Open is a time of infighting, but it is also a day when a team is chosen. Today, because of the publicity in place, many girls who don't know how to play feel that the school's gymnasium is watching this fresh e-sports.

This is the charm of competition, it can make everyone who cares about it cry with the rhythm of the game, whether it is nervous, excited, angry, or joyful.

The selected team not only represents a team, but also the alma mater behind the team.

What is an alma mater? Your alma mater is the place where you have been scolded thousands of times, but you are not allowed to be scolded by others. In the end, the official team selected by each school to participate in the knockout round will definitely attract the attention of the students of their own school, without exception.

So, the better this open tournament is, the more people will care about the final official knockout stage.

This competition also attracted great attention from Tianjing University, so the school gave the green light to this competition and lent the school's gymnasium as the venue for the competition.

The university is a magical place because he usually seems very calm. But when there is such a competition, it is as if a drop of water falls in the oil pot, which can detonate the entire oil pot in an instant.

The stadium can accommodate more than 3,000 people to watch the game at the same time, and the organizers set up the venue for the game in the most central position. The red and blue factions are formed, and the small red and blue room is the room for the team to play.

Directly above, there are several huge LCD screens, on which the game screen will be played in real time.

At about 9 o'clock in the morning, the students watching the game came to the gymnasium one after another, and the enthusiasm for watching the game was staggering.

The 3,000-person stadium was squeezed into nearly 4,000 people, and many people crowded behind the stadium to watch the game.

Looking at the atmosphere of the scene, Ling Xiaosu felt very satisfied.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the host of the competition appeared in the center of the arena on time, holding a microphone in his hand, and said loudly: "Students of Tianjing University, this competition has made you wait for a long time!" ”

......The enthusiasm in the stadium was aroused by the host's very infectious words.

"Now, let's invite today's eight teams!"

"Roar!"

"The first team is a team from the School of Economics and Management, where is your cry!"

"Roar!"

Following the host's words, at the entrance of the team, eight teams walked to the center of the arena one after another, and then stood facing the audience in different directions according to the position of the rehearsal.

"Now, I announce that the "Hero Cup Campus Competition" and the Tianjing University Open Tournament are the start!"

"Knock knock!" With a burst of drums, the opening ceremony ended and the competition began.

The team of the game club was divided into the bottom half, so the first battle was not them.

The two teams in the upper half of the district came out, and the host continued to mobilize the atmosphere of the scene while introducing the information of each player.

Then the ten players entered the competition room and the game officially began.

This time, the match also uses a best-of-three format, so each match takes about two hours. In this way, the team of the morning game club has no chance to play.

But Wang Shuai did not leave with Zhao Hu and the others, because he wanted them to feel the atmosphere of the scene.

Even Zhao Hu, facing the shouts of more than 4,000 people at the scene, was also a little stage frightened. In the case of stage fright, it obviously has a great impact on the player's performance, it will make some players make mistakes in the operation, and the same nervousness will make people's thinking less flexible.

Therefore, Wang Shuai asked Zhao Hu and them to stay and feel the atmosphere of the scene, the purpose is to let them adapt as soon as possible.

Sitting on the viewing platform below, the game club of more than 20 people looked very eye-catching, because the other teams had already left. Obviously, those teams who left did not have the same consciousness as Wang Shuai.

Sure enough, the two teams that played on that field were not at their best. Some low-level operational mistakes kept appearing, which led to a decline in the spectacle of the game.

Even, some spectators on the sidelines have begun to shake their heads helplessly.

And Ling Xiaosu, who was sitting in the live broadcast room, sensitively captured the changes in the crowd on the field, and said secretly in his heart: "If the viewing and suspense of the game continue without expectations, it may have a huge impact on the expectations of the game." ”

For the game, spectacle is important. If you lose the appreciation, you will lose a lot of viewers.

In order to remedy the current situation, it seems necessary to find another way, to win with suspense.

Ling Xiaosu said to his assistant: "Show me the list of the competition." ”

"Okay."

The assistant sent the list of eight teams to Ling Xiaosu. Ling Xiaosu's gaze quickly swept over the information of the registered team members, and when her gaze fell on Wang Shuai's game club team, she couldn't help but stop.

"What's going on?" Ling Xiaosu frowned and pointed to the team information column, "Can the team members' information be wrong?" "Where she fingers, is Lu Shengjie's information.

On Lu Shengjie's information, the game level filled in is - silver one.

How could there be a silver player in a tournament like this? Ling Xiaosu instinctively thought that this was the negligence of the staff, so he filled in Lu Shengjie's information incorrectly.

The assistant glanced at the information and said, "Mr. Ling, that's right, the information filled in by the other party is the level of Bai Yinyi." Moreover, our colleagues also investigated, and this Lu Shengjie is indeed a silver one. ”

"What a joke!" Ling Xiaosu frowned, "This guy is here to make trouble, right?" ”

Let a silver player play this kind of game? Wouldn't the game be even worse to watch?!

"Mr. Ling, do you want them to be replaced? Anyway, they have a lot of substitutes. The assistant suggested.

"Where's their leader?" Ling Xiaosu asked.

The assistant stretched out his hand and pointed to Wang Shuai, who was sitting there watching the game on the field, and said, "Wang Shuai, Mr. Ling, he is sitting there." ”

Ling Xiaosu looked in the direction pointed by his assistant, and sure enough, he saw a team of about twenty people sitting in the rest area of the team watching the battle. In Ling Xiaosu's position, she could see Wang Shuai's side face.

"This person, I seem to have seen it somewhere." Ling Xiaosu frowned, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

The assistant asked, "Mr. Ling, do you want to bring him over?" ”

Ling Xiaosu nodded: "Okay, invite him over." ”

"Mr. Ling, wait a minute, I'll call him."

With that, the assistant hurriedly walked out of the room and walked towards Wang Shuai on the edge of the arena.

Ling Xiaosu looked down at the registration information of the game club: "Wang Shuai? Tutor at Tenkyo University, head of the game club? Looking at the information about Wang Shuai above, Ling Xiaosu said secretly, "With his teacher's identity, it shouldn't be a joke, then...... What's going on with this silver-level player? ”

On the field, Wang Shuai is doing psychological counseling with the players, to be honest, it is his job in counseling, which is Wang Shuai's strength. Therefore, under Wang Shuai's guidance, the nervousness and stage fright of Zhao Hu and others are slowly dissipating.

"Excuse me, you're Wang Shuai, the leader of the game club team, right?"

"That's right, it's me." Wang Shuai raised his head and looked at the fresh face in front of him puzzled, "Eh, is there something wrong?" ”

"Oh, hello, I'm the organizer of this game competition, you still need to check the competition information you fill in, can you come with me?" The assistant asked very politely.

Wang Shuai nodded: "Check the information, okay." Turning his head, Wang Shuai said to Zhao Hu and the others, "You continue to watch the game, I'll go over for a while." ”

With that, Wang Shuai followed the assistant out of the scene and walked straight to Ling Xiaosu's room.

In the room, Ling Xiaosu was thinking about things when there was a knock at the door.

"Buckle!"

"Come in."

"Mr. Ling, I brought you Wang Shuai from the game club." The assistant entered the room, and with a dodge, Wang Shuai appeared behind him.

This time, Ling Xiaosu saw Wang Shuai face-to-face, and instantly remembered: "It's you?" ”

Wang Shuai shrugged: "Mr. Ling, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to see you here." ”

Ling Xiaosu's identity Wang Shuai knew, but Ling Xiaosu knew Wang Shuai's name for the first time.

"yes, that's a coincidence." Ling Xiaosu looked at Wang Shuai and asked, "By the way, the other teams have all gone back, why don't you leave the game club?" ”

Wang Shuai Nunuzui: "These players have never seen a big scene, let them experience it here, when we play in the province, we make the same low-level mistakes as the following two teams." ”

"Low-level error?" Ling Xiaosu asked rhetorically, "What, do you think your team members are very strong?" ”

Wang Shuai grinned and said: "Of course, I believe that they will be a strong contender for the championship of this "Hero Cup"!" ”

"So confident?!" Ling Xiaosu frowned, then handed the team member's information to Wang Shuai, and continued, "Are you going to use the level of a silver player?" ”

"I know you all think I'm talking big," Wang Shuai's face remained unchanged, and he pointed to his head confidently, "But this game relies on wisdom very much, and what I want to do is to turn decay into magic." ”

Wang Shuai's words also made Ling Xiaosu realize that the silver-level player was real, and she also saw from Wang Shuai's eyes that he would not replace Lu Shengjie.

"Okay, then I'm here to wish you success." Ling Xiaosu suddenly had a lot of expectations, she wanted to see what kind of performance a silver player's team could have.

"Thank you for your kind words." The two shook hands, and then Wang Shuai left with his head held high.

After Wang Shuai left, Ling Xiaosu immediately said to the assistant on the side: "Who will fight who in the next game?" ”

"School of Management and School of Computing."

"Changed to a game club and a foreign language college."

"Yes, Mr. Ling."

Ling Xiaosu clasped his hands on his shoulders, looked at Wang Shuai, who had returned to the arena below, and said in his heart: "I hope it is as you say." Finally, she found a sense of anticipation.
