Me: "That's the best, the fairest." ”

We went back to the Internet café where we trained, and although I kept telling myself in my heart to focus that the rematch might start tomorrow, I couldn't help but keep thinking about what happened during the day. We deliberately didn't look at all kinds of news on the Internet, but now this matter must have made a fuss. It's obviously a minor league thing, and I've watched the game for so many years and I've never seen anyone come up and smash a player's keyboard. I didn't think about what I didn't encounter when I was a spectator, but now I have become a professional player.

I recall that the posters set up by the organizers inside and outside the stadium positioned the publicity caliber and characteristics of this playoff game as "the purest e-sports", and as a result, such a bloody thing happened at the game site, which cannot but be said to be the greatest irony.

I tried my best to pull back my thoughts and focus on the training in front of me, but things suddenly made unexpected progress in the evening, Lao Xu said that the organizing committee sent a notice that the eight-in-four competition was canceled, and we directly advanced to the next round!

I didn't expect such a big pie to suddenly fall from the sky, and we didn't even have to play the rematch, we actually advanced directly, everyone was a little excited when they learned about it, and they asked Lao Xu about the reason.

Xu Zhiqiang: "The official announcement has also come out, you can take a look." Probably said that according to the investigation of the organizing committee of the event, the misconduct of Wang Fang, a player of the Heart Robbery Team, violated the rules of the league, and also damaged the image of the game and the league, which is not in line with the identity of an e-sports player. Therefore, after the research and decision of the organizing committee, he was banned for ten games. And because the Heart Tribulation team did not have substitute players, they couldn't get together the number of players, so they automatically abstained. ”

There is no admission fee for the games of the minor leagues, and basically the owners of the major teams really like the game, so they "invest in love" and run the team while losing money. Due to the low foot traffic, most of the teams in the minor leagues are unable to earn income from the fan economy. The only hope of making money is nothing more than two, one is to try to rush to the top league, this situation is of course the best, but after all, there is only one championship of the season, even if you squeeze your head, you may not be able to take your turn.

So another good way to make money is to train new players in your own team, as long as you make a name for yourself in the minor league, you can sell it to the top league team at a high price, so as to make a fortune in the middle. Although this job is a bit like a brothel bustard, if the trained players can play at the level in the top league, it can be regarded as an achievement, not to mention that in this information age where heroes must ask where they come from, players who come out of the team can also have a good reputation of "XX production, must be a boutique".

In the past few years, the market of the game was not very good, and the secondary league was naturally more bitter, and it was rare for everyone to keep the league running normally. Even for the sake of making money for the above two points, most of the teams in the minor league will not arrange "substitutes", after all, fewer people can also reduce a single expense, just like our team.

"What does misconduct mean?" Xie Liuying found the more interesting part of Lao Xu's words.

Xu Zhiqiang: "I don't know, the official didn't say it, the focus of the whole announcement is to apologize to the audience who went to the scene, saying that because of improper management, there was an accident at the game site." What else can you get a compensation in the game with the redemption record of the ticket for this game? ”

Me: "What did the Heart Tribulation Team say?" ”

Xu Zhiqiang: "It's also about him, just apologizing, and persuading him to criticize and educate the corresponding players when he goes back from the arrangement of the league, as for what Wang Fang did specifically, what is the relationship between the girl who came to smash the field and him, he still didn't mention a word." ”

This result obviously does not satisfy everyone's curiosity, but the situation is still in our favor.

Song Yi: "Alas, it seems that we are destined to be unable to take revenge." ”

Liu Chuanhao: "It can't be said that we can't win the championship this year, but we will have a chance to take revenge next season." ”

Me: "Don't crow's mouth, it's good to play enough for a season like this in the minor league, we can't let Luna keep losing money." ”

Liu Chuanhao: "I'm just joking, don't take it seriously." ”

But one less round is a good thing, as we go straight to the last four without a fight, in other words, with just two more wins and we can be in the top flight in a few months' time. Thinking about this time last year, I was still concentrating on preparing for the college entrance examination, and now I am only one step away from realizing my dream, which is really a dream year.

Since the opponents for the next round have already been decided in the afternoon, we have temporarily changed our plans for tonight and tomorrow during the day to a discussion and analysis of new opponents.

In the next round, the opponent was the sixth-place team of the regular season, and they made major tactical changes in the playoffs, and finally defeated the Glow, who were originally fourth in the regular season. This has forced everyone to re-face the team's ability to adapt and adjust. Next up against us, who are stronger than Team Light, they will undoubtedly be well prepared to come up with ABCD packages to disrupt our style of play and rhythm.

So if you want to beat them, it's more important to think about the tactical level than to train blindly. For a whole night and morning, instead of going to the dark room of the Internet café to play games, we rented a multi-functional conference room in the hotel and used projection to analyze the enemy's possible "big moves" and the countermeasures that we need to pay attention to.

Since the semi-finals will be played in two days, we don't have much time to waste, so we ordered takeout to be delivered to the conference for everyone to watch while eating.

Lao Xu has emphasized more than once that even if his strength exceeds that of the other party, he must be ready for battle, and he must not have the idea of despising the opponent. He had suffered such a big loss in his previous professional days, and this major mistake cost them a great chance to enter the second division. And we started from a higher start, went straight to the second league, and now we have a chance to reach the top league, don't feel that we are still young and strong. In the e-sports industry, everyone will find that time flies quickly, and some unexpected things come as soon as they are said, and some opportunities are missed for a lifetime.

Although I don't have such personal experience, my years of experience in watching the game make me still agree with Lao Xu's words. So I believe that the hard work now will definitely pay off, and if there is a pure place for esports, I am afraid that at this point, it is the same as other industries in the world that need to struggle, a simple equivalent exchange.
