With the broadcast of the show, the news that Mars Entertainment will hold a carnival at the end of the year is even more known throughout the United States.

Then many media reprinted and quoted, and the news also spread to Japan, especially after Jester mentioned in the ABC program that he was going to hold an e-sports tournament at the Mars Entertainment Carnival at the end of the year, and countless game lovers became strongly interested in it.

After Jester's detailed introduction on the show, curious people basically understand what the so-called e-sports tournament is.

To put it bluntly, it's like a chess-like sports competition, but instead of a chess event, the contestants compete against a video game, and Jester announced only two events for the first time, one is "Tour of America Rally" and the other is "Street Fighter", which has been taking the world by storm shortly after its release.

And "Tour of America Rally" because of the high price of the frame, so the popularity rate is far less than "Street Fighter", originally "Street Fighter" just came out, there is a trend of dominating arcades around the world, this time after Jester so publicity, the champion of the high prize of 50,000 US dollars a stimulus, suddenly, the player Jing Cong.

Mars Entertainment officially went on sale for carnival tickets two weeks after the show aired, mainly in the United States, with only a very small number of tickets sold abroad.

Originally, Jester didn't think that the sales of tickets would be very good, after all, it is not the afterlife, there is a network that connects the whole world, but after the final sales results came out, he was still surprised, although it was not as terrible as Blizzard bought out their carnival tickets in one day, but all the tickets were still sold out in a week.

There are even some people who speculate that a ticket is actually hyped to three times the original price.

Resoluteness is Jester's style. At the same time as the tickets went on sale, the regional auditions for the Tour of America and Street Fighter that he had prepared for had officially begun, but because he had to organize it himself. There are too many people and resources needed, and it is not very convenient.

this world. Jester remembered some of the ways in which such competitions were organized in later generations, and he asked the local branches to contact the local arcade halls and choose one or several to host the selection competition.

This kind of good thing that is equivalent to free advertising, those arcade hall owners naturally refused to be willing to live in, and put forward their own conditions, each better than the other, and this problem was easily solved, especially in an arcade hall in Japan. For the right to host this competition, he actually purchased 30 new "Street Fighter" and 10 new "Tour of America Rally" arcade frames from Mars Entertainment in one go.

Umehara Daigo looked at a coloring page magazine in his hand, this is the Japanese version of the "game" magazine published in Japan, the magazine is in Japan, and the editors are basically all Japanese, and the report is naturally based on Japanese affairs, but this magazine also often forwards some foreign video game news.

Therefore, many people who like to read game magazines basically buy a copy of "Famitsu", and often always have a Japanese version of "Game".

It's like Daigo Umehara. Although he is only a schoolboy now, he loves to read these kinds of magazines, but he is not too old to play games. In fact, although he had played a few sporadic games before, it was a trip to an arcade hall a few months ago that really made him linger on video games.

In Japan, arcades are not a place for good boys, and Daigo Umehara is not ready to be a Yakuza when he grows up, so he rarely goes to such places.

It's smoky, and there are people of all colors, plus Umehara Daigo is young. Unless it's when he's playing with a few friends, he's going to play for a while.

Daigo Umehara is very addicted to games despite a lot.。 But he has a great talent for games, no matter what game he plays. None of his friends were his opponents, and even after he became proficient a few times, many of them who were much older than him were not his opponents.

There was once a competition "American Cubes" with a junior high school that he had already attended, and Daigo Umehara won very lightly, because the hard one was almost effortless, and the middle school in that country was still a little annoyed and angry, but it seems that Daigo Umehara is just a child, and he doesn't care about it in general.

In the eyes of Daigo Umehara before, video games were just some interesting toys, and they weren't too difficult for him until some time ago, after he played the game called Street Fighter for the first time.

Fighting game,Umehara Daigo once played a game on his FC at his cousin's house,That game is called "Kung Fu", in Umehara Daigo's eyes,This game is very boring,He doesn't know why his cousin is so obsessed with this game,And such a simple game,He just became proficient for ten minutes,Immediately cleared the level,And his cousin,Never hit the bottom of the level。

But in the game "Street Fighter", Daigo Umehara felt for the first time that the original video game is not always so simple.

"Huh!"

Daigo Umehara, who was walking and looking at the "Game" magazine he had just bought in his hand, suddenly let out a surprise and a strange look on his face, he was looking at an article titled 'Mars Entertainment Carnival E-sports Competition', and then his eyes moved down to see the line where the prize money for the first champion was 50,000 US dollars.

Walking with Umehara Daigo, several of his companions were originally chattering about something, as if discussing where to go on the weekend, they all knew that Umehara Daigo didn't like others to disturb him when he was reading, but when they heard Umehara Daigo's surprise and turned their heads to look at Umehara Daigo, they also saw the report at the same time.

"Fifty thousand dollars! The competition items are "Tour of America Rally", "Street Fighter", ...... It's Street Fighter! One of them, a little chubby, whispered a passage from the "GAEM" in Umehara's hand, and then, as if in disbelief, repeated the words "Street Fighter" again.

These people are friends with Umehara Daigo, and they all know that Umehara Daigo has been practicing hard since he was humiliated with "Street Fighter" more than a month ago, and his level has improved by leaps and bounds.

Perfect kill is the later game "King of Fighters" is the setting of the King of Fighters series, if a character is not hit by the opponent in this sentence of the game, then when the word KO appears, it will appear below the KO, that is, the perfect English word, representing the perfect kill.

Jester, a later man, of course, knew the sense of accomplishment that perfect kills had brought him in the first place, so he told Mark about this setting. Senny, and Mark. Saini was convinced, so he added the premise to his Street Fighter.

Before Umehara Daigo could react, he was surrounded by his best friends, and they all looked at Umehara Daigo with bright eyes, which made Umehara Daigo feel uncomfortable, and even made him unconsciously take a few steps back and asked, "What are you doing here?" See what I'm doing? ”

"Mei Yuan, you go to this competition! Fifty thousand dollars! A friend of Daigo Umehara said to him excitedly.

Umehara Daigo rolled his eyes when he heard it, although he was not very old, but he was relatively precocious, and when he heard his friend say such unreasonable words, he said with no good face: "You are stupid, there must be a lot of people participating in this competition, we are just children, how can we have a chance to win the prize?" ”

However, several of his friends didn't care, and a few of them had already finished reading the report, so they continued to smile and encourage Umehara Daigo: "This Mars Entertainment Carnival is holding the finals, not everyone can participate, if you want to participate in the finals, you also need to participate in the qualifiers, and the prize money for the qualifiers is also good, and the first place in the qualifiers in our Japan division is 5,000 dollars!" And as long as you can enter the main competition of the national competition, you will have a prize fund of 1,000 dollars! ”

This is said that Umehara Daigo is quite excited, after all, he is still a child's heart, and he also has a lot of toys to buy, but the pocket money given by the family is definitely not enough, and if you can participate in the competition and get a bonus, it is also very good.

But as soon as he thought of this, Umehara Daigo immediately showed a dejected look, he felt that he had thought too much about it, he was just a child, how could he get the ranking.

A few people were talking and walking, and before they knew it, they were walking to the door of an arcade they frequented.

At this time, someone pointed to the front door of the arcade, and a new notice was posted on it on a sign in front of the door, which was similar to the report they had just seen about the esports competition at the Mars Entertainment Carnival.

The difference is that this arcade is one of the qualifier venues in the Tokyo area.

Five or six children looked around the notice for a long time, and then they all looked at Umehara Daigo: "Umeiyuan, do you want to go in and sign up?" "It can be seen that when a few people encouraged Umehara Daigo to participate in the competition, they were very enthusiastic, but when it was time to sign up, they didn't have the enthusiasm they had before.

Daigo Umehara looked at the notice for more than a minute, then at the arcade in front of him, and then bit his lip.

"I'll sign up!" (To be continued)
