Chapter Seventy-One: Change
Today, the most lively event in Rongcheng District is the 6th anniversary celebration competition organized by Tianji Internet Café in the Qianda Plaza in the downtown commercial street.
After three days of auditions, the top eight came out on top, and even on this weekday Wednesday, the event was as prosperous as last year, and it was actually not unusual for a competition like this to be held by an Internet café, but why was the event held by the Miracle Internet Café so famous?
One of the most important points is the generosity of the Tianji Internet Cafe, the cost of the anniversary celebration is really well-intentioned, all kinds of stage background design, and even this year's invitation to well-known commentators to come to the show, are all the owners of the Tianji Internet Cafe, that is, Ziting herself paid out of her own pocket to operate as a cost.
This kind of operation method with low profitability and even the possibility of loss is really not learnable by normal businessmen.
How could such a conscientious activity not be supported by the vast number of celestial lovers after it became famous?
Although it was 8 o'clock in the morning, Chida Plaza was already overcrowded, because the audience area was isolated, which made the movable area smaller than in the past, so it looked a little crowded.
The outer areas are so lively, not to mention the most enthusiastic people in the audience area, who have already prepared all kinds of snacks and drinks for watching the game, and put on the most comfortable viewing posture, wait and see.
"Flutter hoo-"
As the smoke machine on the stage sprayed white smoke, a beautiful woman in a crisp black and white plaid shirt walked to the center of the stage waving her little hands.
"Good morning, everyone! I'm Qimei Xue! ”
"Oooh oh !!"
As soon as the beautiful woman commentator appeared, it immediately aroused the enthusiastic cheers of the men in the audience, this is the current famous anchor, Qimeixue (stage name).
Qimeixue's commentary has always been fresh and funny, and has a Lori face and a proud mature body, as soon as she debuted, she was sought after by a large number of fans, and after a large-scale professional game commentary, her accurate and objective commentary ability has been recognized by the public, and she has become famous in one fell swoop.
This kind of generosity is only made by a daughter like Miss Zi, who is not for profit.
Moreover, at least a third of the spectators gathered here came to see Qimeixue, who can only be seen behind the cold electronic screen.
So when Qimei Xue appeared on the stage, the atmosphere in Qianda Plaza was instantly detonated.
"Aren't you excited? Today, I will be in charge of the commentary session for the semi-finals of the 6th Anniversary Celebration Contest held by the Celestial Trace Online Leisure Club, as well as tomorrow's finals and championship matches. Qi Meixue first gave a brief introduction, "The eight players who stood out in this audition will be on this stage for the semi-finals of eight into four!" ”
"Oh oh oh!"
All kinds of whistles and cheers came one after another, not only for those sitting in the audience area, but also for those standing outside the audience area.
Next, Qi Meixue briefly talked about the information of the eight players, because although it is a real-name registration here, the players are all using fake names to show the public, so it is the basic information, in fact, it is the profession used by the player and some special achievements.
Qimeixue on the stage is outstanding, and during this period, the backstage staff are even more busy.
Because there are still people in charge of live broadcast promotion on the live broadcast platform this time, it is not like last year, which was held silently and ended silently, so it was more formal.
It is said to be a live broadcast, but Tianji Internet Cafe is not a well-known Internet café in the country, at most it is well-known in Rongcheng District, Tianjing City, so the popularity of the live broadcast room is not high, but fortunately, there are thousands of online broadcasts.
"Are the eight players there?" Wu Baifan was making the final confirmation through the walkie-talkie.
After all, the game is a game for those players, not their game, today's protagonist is destined to be these eight players, so the Tianji Internet café must do a good job of protection, and the intention of these eight players to participate has been confirmed in advance yesterday, when the eight people made it clear that they would continue to play.
If there is a shortage of personnel, the Internet café must find a way to find someone to temporarily replace it, generally speaking, it is to give priority to their opponents in the final link of the audition, and then consider others, but if you need to temporarily change members, you must contact in advance, this is an amateur competition, but also an Internet café activity without any fame and fortune, which has different weight in the hearts of different players, so many aspects can not be exactly the same as professional competitions.
Moreover, the quarterfinals and semi-finals are one of the major selling points of the event, and a casual bye will disrupt the timing of the celebrations, and even affect the effectiveness of the event, no one will want to watch a match without a fight, and last year's semi-finals caused his opponent to win without a fight due to an unexplained absence, which caused strong dissatisfaction among other players.
So it's not for nothing that Wu Baifan is so cautious.
"Manager, all eight players have arrived, and now they are all in the rest area." Staff reported.
The players' rest area was set up on the fourth floor of the Internet café, and at this time, all eight players had indeed arrived, including the four young men under Zhou Guotai, who were in front of their respective computers, learning from the other three who looked serious, pretending to warm up before the game.
Well, there were seven people in the warm-up, and the remaining one was watching a TV series while drinking tea.
This young man who is still a good young man is not someone else, it is Ling Yu.
There is no way, there are countless professional competitions that he has participated in that are more serious and more serious than this kind of anniversary competition, how can he be like the person next to him who is obviously a high school student who is participating for the first time and has made it to the quarterfinals, while his fingers are shaking while doing warm-up training?
I wonder if I can advance some bonuses tomorrow? Ling Yu yawned, thinking to himself, his purse was almost at the bottom, and if he had no income in a few days, he might have to face the dilemma of eating air.
In this game, he himself played unnaturally, the lower the level of the opponent's performance, the more uncomfortable he felt, this kind of pinch of soft persimmons is indeed not the style of a decent person like him, so now he just wants to solve this battle as soon as possible.
There were eight people in this big box using computers, but four of them were doing warm-up training on the surface, but in fact they were secretly whispering, Ling Yu thought that these people were all old acquaintances from the past, chatting nonsense before the start of the game to relieve tension, after all, as long as they were all regulars in Internet cafes, it was not a strange thing to know each other.
But after the staff came over and gave the final announcement before the game, the four people suddenly got up and left the box under the guise of going to the toilet.
At the same time, the phenomenon of four people going to the toilet is still extremely unique, and it is also four big men, although Ling Yu felt a little strange, he didn't care too much.
In the square, Qimeixue successfully transitioned the opening session, and the next step was to prepare for the game.
Wu Baifan ordered the staff to inform the two players who were about to get ready.
After a while, when it was almost time for them to appear, the staff in charge of informing them suddenly reported a major incident to Wu Baifan.
When he heard the news, Wu Baifan immediately reacted to what had happened, and his face turned black all of a sudden.
The four players in the Deep Blue Internet Cafe left without permission.
