The next day, the first match day of the qualifiers. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

With the scene filled with enthusiastic fans, the competition for the only two WCG spots officially began.

Group A: WE, LM, Star, VG

Group B: RT, Royalty, LGD, CASH

Group C: IG, LM, KX. H. Grip

Group D: OMG, PE, RS, Wings of Dawn

According to the competition system, the 16 teams are divided into four groups, and the group stage is a BO1 double-elimination format, with the top two teams in each group qualifying.

Perhaps for the sake of fairness, when there are two LPL teams in a group, the first round is staggered without exception.

Taking Group B where RT and the royal family are located, for example, the first round of the group stage match was arranged as RT vs. CASH, and the royal family played against Lao Godfather, avoiding a premature matchup.

And the two teams that came out of the LPL did not disappoint, among which RT crushed the opponent with a thunderous momentum, almost hitting the opposite CASH to 20 shots. Although the royal family encountered some trouble during the match, they still managed to defeat the old godfather and successfully meet RT to the next round.

The current old godfather is far from being able to pose a threat to the LPL team in terms of strength, especially the royal family, which is among the best in the LPL.

There will still be a fight between the two powerhouses!

"According to the arrangement, we are still on the main stage in the next game, and now we are playing with other teams above, and it seems that it has just begun." Xia Zeguang sent the news in time.

Lin Mu nodded: "I just have time, let's go eat something." ”

So, the group found a noodle restaurant outside the venue and filled their stomachs.

On the way back, Lin Mu taught his experience to the new player, the substitute player who replaced Qin Yitian in the auxiliary position this time: "Perform well for a while, don't be nervous, you played very well online in the last game, but you didn't know what to do after pushing the tower, and you couldn't keep up with the rhythm." ”

Wool listened silently, and nodded silently.

In front of the newcomer, the elder Shuhao fully showed the style of the elder: "Don't be afraid, little sheep, with us, just lie down with you, the next opponent is the royal family, right, I haven't fought with a virgin for a long time, and I don't know if this guy has regressed!" ”

"I heard that the two Hong Kong players of the royal family will retire after playing this WCG? I don't know if it's true. "Xiao Hei's news is getting more and more informed.

"It's very likely, didn't the news say a few days ago that this person complained on Twitter that the salary of his career is too low, and it is far worse than making money from live broadcasts." The Fire God had heard of this, too.

Shuhao thought for a while: "I don't know about others, if it were me, I would rather keep the thousands of dollars a month of dead wages for my career than do this kind of thing, and besides, being an anchor is really as profitable as those people say?" To be honest, I don't believe it. ”

Lin Mu secretly nodded, acquiescing to the conversation of several people.

In my memory, the two Hong Kong people of the royal family did announce their retirement after WCG and entered the live broadcast industry to start their cake selling career, one of them accumulated a lot of money, and after a year of tepidness, he relied on a job hop to directly step into the ranks of first-line anchors, and became a big anchor with an annual income of tens of millions of people. The other stumbled and suffered from his big mouth.

Whether it is publicly bombarding the domestic e-sports environment in front of foreigners or leaking the tactics of the LPL team during the commentary of the World Championship, it is a manifestation of his death.

As for the live broadcast treatment, it is indeed not very attractive.

After all, the live broadcast of the game has just started, and even the main platforms of Douyu Zhanqi Panda have not yet been launched, and there are definitely few signing fees that the anchor can get, and if you want to make money, you mainly have to rely on Taobao stores and fans to reward, which is the so-called selling cakes.

In terms of profit alone, it is far more nourishing to do video programs now than live broadcasts.

This is not difficult to see from the fact that after RT won the S3 World Championship, the entire team's annual signing fee is only one million, in comparison, the video program anchors represented by Xiaozhi Xiaocang and others are comparable to their team.

Of course, then again, YY's ability to open a million signing fees is unprecedented for the current e-sports industry, even if it was the smash hit WE at the beginning, it is impossible to have such a high value, at least the money that falls into the hands of Ruofeng and other five team members.

"Team Lin, it's our turn soon!" Soon after returning to the arena, Xia Zeguang sent news again.

At this time, the game on the main stage had been played, and WE easily defeated the VG team led by Sima Lao Thief and Wei Shen, becoming the first team in the field to advance to the quarterfinals.

The emaciated camel is bigger than the horse, in the end, it is the cute five-person group that gave birth to the first batch of brain-dead fans in the e-sports circle, in comparison, whether it is RS, which almost replaced RT, or the menacing VG, it is difficult to compete with this WE.

"It's our turn, brothers." Shu Hao was the first to rush forward.

Under the spotlight, the five RT people sat in the original position of WE, and as soon as the camera arrived at the scene, there was an overwhelming cheer, which was more than when the WE team members took the stage.

In comparison, the royal family, which is also a member of the LPL team, is a little sad in this regard, except for a few sporadic sounds below when the camera is given to UZI, the other personnel almost do not react.

Objectively speaking, if they didn't happen to be in the same group as RT, they might not even have the chance to play on the main stage, and the previous game was played in a small area to the south.

In the past, it was not as good as the two predecessors of WE and IG, and it was suppressed by OMG during the same period, and RT, which came from behind, was deprived of the S3 qualification, which can be said to be the biggest loser.

However, if you think about it carefully, even if the royal family won the S3 runner-up in the previous life, the whole team did not profit from it except for the crazy puppy, but got more black fans and infamy.

It's one thing to be 3-0, but the lack of fighting spirit and muddy play shown in front of SKT is the biggest reason why they were hacked.

Keng~

The horn sounded, and the BP interface appeared on the big screen at the scene.
