In the midst of an ocean of celebratory crowds, a person's loss of consciousness is not noticeable, and it cannot last long.

Emotions are like computer viruses jumping between people, is a person or a group of the best business card and appeal, as long as there is no sharp conflict of interests, no one will refuse others to share happiness with themselves.

Moreover, it is time to celebrate.

The girl's distraction did not affect others, and she didn't even care too much about herself, and the team in the CN region won the championship at the Ti World Invitational Tournament, which was a great joy for most Dota players and related practitioners in China, and it was also a joy for her. But she is really not used to showing her emotions in such a crowded occasion, maybe the man in the past has become accustomed to the infection of this emotion, but the current girl is different.

But there is still to be respect, and the girl will not hesitate to respect these former peers. Only by truly experiencing the life of professional e-sports people can they have their own feelings about the honors they have obtained, lying in bed and waiting for the opportunity will not succeed in any field, these young people who roar and shout in front of the screen have made unimaginable efforts off the field, and honor is a reward for their hard work.

Together with the cheering classmates, she applauded the young people who had triumphed in a foreign country thousands of miles away, and thought about what to do next, the girl didn't have anything to do today, and the words she insisted on saying might be to make up for a day's sleep in bed - this was not a schedule, but in fact, in the days before the official start of school, the girl really had nothing to do and nothing to do.

Once the soul of the old man tried to evaluate his previous self from a position as objective as possible, but found that he was completely unable to draw conclusions.

These were trivial questions, and the girl didn't continue to care, and by the time she realized that she really couldn't find anything to do except go out and step on the road, the surroundings had generally quieted down, and the young people on the big screen had completed a simple shield raising ceremony, and the English stream commentary from the host had already asked a few paddling questions such as the impression of winning the championship, and then handed over the FCB.LBS players to the hosts and reporters of several different language channels for interviews. As the representative of the division that won the championship this time, the interview team of the official Chinese channel can be said to be the largest in this group.

They directly invited the head coach of the LBS team and the MVP of the game to their analysis table, which was originally only arranged with three seats, suddenly looked a little cramped, and the staff temporarily moved two folding chairs to the side to solve the problem.

Naturally, the folding chair cannot be the new champions, and as a guest on the analysis table, Lang Guangnan - on such occasions, people with a Dota game background generally call him ID: Ackx - as an active professional player and the third runner-up of this World Invitational Tournament, he cannot sit in the folding chair, and can only condescend to the man who is also the official media reporter and commentator of Qixun and the host. In this way, the scene shown on the camera is bizarre: two commentators who are supposed to be sitting in suits and leather shoes are sitting next to the analysis table, while behind the table are two players and a coach wearing different team uniforms.

It wasn't like a post-match interview, it was like a championship press conference.

The first to speak out to break this mysterious tacit atmosphere was the host of the entire analysis desk:

"So, do you have a reminiscence from the feeling of raising the shield just now?" The man with a rather friendly appearance couldn't hide his smile, and asked his first question playfully, and his name was duly typed at the bottom of the screen: VOC.

"Nope." RaiN, who had just won the series' highest individual award, honestly expressed his feelings, "I want to go back and do it again." ”

"Then when the interview is over, will you be able to touch it when you go back?" The few people on the same stage no longer hid their smiles. Needless to say, the prize money offered by the club and the huge dividends brought by this championship are enough to satisfy him. For the other two media workers, the victory of the team from the CN region is also good news, and the popularity of the game in China will not decline, and even increase again, which is also beneficial to their work.

The only person who smiled a little hard was probably Ackx, who was sitting on the same stage as RaiN.

"No, it's not a shield in the base...... It doesn't mean that. The good-looking Carry shook his head, "I'd like to raise my shield on that table one more time - next year." ”

"In other words, next year's championship, is Barcelona also going to be booked?"

"We don't dare to say that," the coach who had changed into his jersey took over, glancing at Ackx in the analysis table through RaiN, "We won't have that luck next year, and it's up to the conqueror to lift the shield." ”

"Yes, yes, it's all up to the CRG brothers."

Ackx could only laugh with the others, and he might be just as happy as those people if he was eliminated from the finals early or even didn't make it to the World Invitational at all, but he was arguably the only and biggest loser on camera.

It can only be said that it is better not to be the runner-up, or is it better to be the runner-up? If he had lost the championship at the hands of FCB.LBS, these people would not have made such jokes. The girl stared at the familiar and unfamiliar face on the screen, and felt sympathy for him—he was in that position too.

However, it seems that Lang Guangnan probably quickly adjusted his mentality, re-engaged in the conversation as a "champion old-timer", and used his own experience as a reference to ask several questions such as "how are you going to adjust after winning the championship" and "what is it like to walk out of the battle room after defeating the other party".

So the girl could no longer sympathize with him.

Feeling a little awkward? The on-screen interview with the champion is in fact coming to an end, and there may be only one memorable song or a closing sentence left in the dispersal room. So the current president of the Youyan Club walked to the podium in advance, pressed the host's voice of "Then that's it here today", turned off the live broadcast, and picked up the microphone:

"Okay comrades," his voice was as strong as his own, "the game is over, it's time to plan the game." ”

"The officers of the club will stay for a while, and the other students can disperse first - those who are interested in the next big major can also observe the meeting, anyway, it's not a secret, it's been held for several years."

The president of the Youyan Club, Tian Ruize announced that as the presidents under the jurisdiction of the Federation of Clubs, it is still necessary to meet and nod, Lu Xinlei naturally knows this president, and with the impression left at several conferences, not too much, this boy's way of dealing with people is generally good.

"But the meeting is not in vain, not the secretary is still here to listen to the students come to register, you are not there when the competition starts next month, I can ask you for tea." This kind of talk is obviously just a joke, and no one will register anything, but the meaning of the words has been conveyed, and the students who have nothing to do with the Youyan Club began to leave one after another in groups of three or five, including Yang Sen, who had been sitting next to the girl before.

"Aren't you leaving?" He stood up and looked at Lu Xinlei, the girl was still sitting near the corner, her eyes staring ahead, "Their internal administrative meeting will not discuss specific game-related things, it's not interesting." ”

"Wouldn't it be okay for me, as the president of the Friendship Society, to sit in on their meetings?" Lu Xinlei raised her eyebrows, "By the way, I can learn about their competition system or something, and I can prepare for it-the competition system and the like will definitely have to be decided." ”

"That's true, but listen to you......" Yang Sen was indeed a little puzzled, "what are you going to prepare?" ”

"Prepare them for this competition." The girl doesn't hide anything about her goals.

————————————————

In fact, this meeting didn't last long, because the big Dota Cup has been held for six consecutive years, and it only needs the president to assign what should be done to each department according to the past records, and then the department will assign specific tasks.

In the end, the competition format that has been used since the previous competition is also very simple: all the registered teams draw lots to face each other one by one, and the single-elimination format is played from beginning to end, and the final winning team will play the selection match with the previous school team. In this format, no matter how many teams sign up in the end, you can play well with byes.

But it's not the usual double-elimination format for official Dota events, and the reason is also simple: lack of time.

The double-elimination format requires a lower bracket to be split in the knockout stage, and the team that loses in the main draw will fall into the lower bracket to continue playing until they lose again in the lower bracket, which will eventually result in a ticket to the Grand Final.

This format will largely prevent some strong teams from being eliminated due to bad luck or simply being scheming, but the disadvantages are also obvious, the number of games in the double-elimination system is almost twice as many as the single-elimination games in the World Cup format, and the time consumed is even more than that.

And now this kind of school cup, to be honest, there is no team worth giving a chance to resurrect, the only well-known school team is already waiting at the back of the finals, and the remaining considerable number of teams are not worth wasting twice the time to pay attention to after weighing the cost of the game, so it is more efficient to simply cancel the lower bracket and the group stage, and only play a single elimination to compete for the championship.

Cruel and efficient, ruthless and realistic, the winner is as good as Dota and all other competitive events.

The official time of the event is also directly the same as the previous plan, set in the middle of September, when the freshmen have some understanding of the university campus but still retain a lot of freshness, this time point is indeed the golden time for these youthful clubs to hold activities.

After hearing this, it wouldn't be interesting to stay here any longer, so the girl cleaned up her wrinkled clothes that had been sitting for more than half an hour, stood up, and said hello to the president of the Yuken Club before leaving the temporary club classroom. I already know what I should know, and if I sit down again, I may really be left to clean up as a club worker.

And it's time to leave, and it's time to take a closer look at yourself.

Even if you make up your mind to really embark on the road of competing for honor with this group of people on the screen, there are still many problems in front of you.
