Chapter 16: Pure Esports (1)

All the matches in the minor league share a single venue, which is an esports stadium located in the heart of the N. E-sports stadiums are one of the new things that have emerged in China in recent years, and they are specially designed for e-sports. In the past few years, although there are also foreign countries, but there is no place dedicated to e-sports in China, because of the size of the venue and economic interests, most of the previous e-sports competitions are rented by the organizer of comprehensive venues, and then temporarily set up the stage, which is naturally less professional.

However, there is no way to do this, the construction of venues is for profit after all, and e-sports is a relatively niche industry in the past few years, and the revenue of e-sports competitions alone is obviously not enough to support a venue. However, with the vigorous development of the industry in recent years, in the context of the valuation of 80 billion yuan in the industry, specialized e-sports venues have come into being. It can be seen that the e-sports atmosphere in N City is very good, and the government supports it, but everyone doesn't play the game I play. We arrived early to prepare for the game, a medium-sized esports stadium with a modern design that can accommodate about 500 people and has a 360-degree panoramic screen to ensure that spectators from every position can see the game clearly and clearly in real time.

At the same time, unlike the general stadium, where the players are seated at the front of the entire stage, in this e-sports stadium, the players' seats are in the center of the entire venue, and the audience seats are surrounded by no fence in the middle, which allows the players to get closer to the audience, so that the latter can have a better viewing experience.

In the past, most of the venues for the minor league were Internet cafes with better environments, or sub-exhibition halls of convention and exhibition centers, and the tickets were also free to receive after arrival, but in the playoffs, everything looked much more formal. Although the tickets are still free, the tickets are not available at the venue, but require a "Book Title" account of level 50 or above to be redeemed online, and all this looks more formal.

The venue is now covered with posters for the "Title" playoffs, and in addition to the beautiful game graphics, the slogan inside is very intriguing, this time shouting the slogan "Esports in its purest form". In my opinion, the organizers are changing the concept and calling the high difficulty of the game itself "pure", which is quite confusing.

Two hours later, we took the stage and I had a general glance around the field. Although admission is free, the entire stadium is still only two-thirds of the attendance, and it seems that although the esports atmosphere in the city is good, there are really not many players in the book. This time, I want to use the opportunity of the minor league to promote my game, and it is really a tiger to carve out the share of other games in this city with a small market share.

In this arena, our team's seats are side-by-side five-seated, and our opponent's team is seated on the other side facing each other. Song Yi went to the official Weibo of the Xinjiao team before the game, saying that we would end the game within an hour and throw them in the trash 2-0. Naturally, her remarks also caused ridicule from others, saying that she had lost 2-0 in the regular season before, and now she is making a big deal here.

Thanks to her, if we lose this game, we will not only lose the opportunity to go to the top league, but also lose our reputation in the saliva of the Internet Linguist and the spell of the Internet Onmyoji.

But I'm confident that I'm in good shape today and that I won't do the same thing I did in the regular season.

At the start of the game, today's battlefield match, we made a major tactical adjustment to ensure that we don't overturn in such an important game. In the opening 500 grain and grass, they only gave me 50, let me lead my fifty small soldiers to the back mountain, vacated 50 grain and grass, for Song Yi 50 horses, she will take 50 cavalry to capture the second grain and grass stronghold first.

In our pre-match training, we experimented that this configuration would allow the second stronghold to be included in our sphere of influence only 30 seconds after the first stronghold was captured, and the only downside to this was that the troops in the back mountains would be insufficient, and in case of encountering others, it could be a big loss.

However, due to the early occupation of the second stronghold, as long as my position is not too deep, follow-up reinforcements will arrive soon, and when the time comes, I can press forward in one fell swoop, and use the advantage of troops to firmly control the resources in the back mountain.

In other words, the key to this set of tactics is still to look at me, the person who went to the back mountain alone, because I bear the risk of being weak in the front, and I also need to use the support to play the advantage of the follow-up.

Leng Zi had made a special analysis on this issue, and the result was that as long as I walked according to the designated route, I had a more than 85% chance of not encountering the enemy until the reinforcements converged with me. And even if they encounter it, the other party will inevitably fight to lose the time they have searched for resources and kill them all the way. So this is a tactic that seems a bit risky, but it's actually more secure. And as the core of the team and the most consistent point of play, everyone believes that it is a wise choice to hand over the winner to me.

With this helpless expectation, I took fifty soldiers to the back mountain, and collected resources while moving forward according to the planned route, waiting for Song Yi to break through the second stronghold and allocate the excess troops to me.

I was collecting food and straw bags along the way, and while I was thinking about the possibility of meeting the other party, it seemed that after another two minutes or so, we would be able to establish an advantage and finally win. However, as I fumbled through the food and straw bags, I suddenly realized something unexpected.

In the entire back mountain, grain and straw bags, as a valuable resource to increase the upper limit of troops, are naturally one of the key competition objects for players going to the back mountain. Although the number of grain and straw bags is constant throughout the mountain, their distribution is partially random.

Along the way, I passed by the gathering point of three grain and grass bags, and there were a lot of grain and grass in them, and even I had never encountered such a large number of "Tianhu starts" in my usual training and when I used to arrange the battlefield by myself. I was complacent about this for a while. But if we judge by the conservation of quantity, I am afraid that the situation on the opposite side is extremely unoptimistic. Even if there is no follow-up reinforcement, just the difference in food and grass accumulated by "shopping" in the early stage will allow us to accumulate a huge advantage in the early stage.

So will the members of the Heart Heist Clan, who are also professional players, sit back and wait for such bad luck? If it were me, what would I do in this situation?

Thinking of this, I immediately communicated in the voice channel: "Don't move the grain and straw bags I picked up just now, I will take all the new troops." ”
