Chapter 34: Crazy

A round of seven games, in two months, and then non-stop to start the next round of the competition, this year's World Finals date has been set, December 12, but the official pre-sale channel has not yet opened, it is said that in these days, and there will be a grand ceremony, this time the World Finals is after all jointly hosted by China and the United States, although the participation is not as lively as the previous joint hosting of many countries, but the scale is better than before.

Now about the construction of the World Finals venues, the e-sports media in the United States have also begun to send reporters to visit and inspect H City, Wang Zhiguo, director of the E-sports Division of H City, is responsible for the reception, and introduces the expansion and reconstruction of the venues to foreign friends one by one, and at the same time, the E-sports venues in H City will be open to the whole country and even the world after the World Finals, and any large-scale competition organizers in need can contact H City to rent venues, even not limited to e-sports, some large-scale singing and dancing parties or conferences are enough to deal with.

In addition to expanding the scale, the most important thing is to change from the previous single purpose to a multi-purpose hall, and if you want, it can even be turned into a large banquet hall to host weddings or important events.

This is a comprehensive reconstruction, so the power of Hengyu Real Estate Group is also very large, and the domestic e-sports media have also begun the rendering of the World Finals, and some well-known commentators have been sent by the official to make promotional videos to warm up, and these actions are all for the upcoming finals tickets to warm up.

It is conservatively estimated that several branches of the E-sports Hall in H City can accommodate about 30,000 people to watch at the same time, as an e-sports venue, this is already the top level in China, and this World Finals has changed the ordinary competition mode in the past, the team has added many entertainment games in addition to the simple ranking competition, these games are not for the ranking, just to bring joy to the audience.

For example, the Infinite Firepower Challenge, Polar Smash Bros. and even the One-on-One and Two-on-Two Challenge, which were originally All-Star Games, but this time they were put into the highlights of the World Finals, and each award has a lot of bonuses, which has also attracted the attention of many professional players.

However, registration has not yet been opened, because neither the European LCS, nor the North American LCS, nor the Asian side have decided the final list to enter the World Finals, and these registrations can only be generated in the seeded teams, but when these news are released, it still adds a lot of entertainment to this World Finals.

In addition to the battle of reputation, there is also an entertainment challenge that purely gives back to the audience, and this combination is also the first time that it has appeared on the stage of the World Finals, and after these gimmicks are thrown, the audience has higher expectations for this World Finals.

It is worth mentioning that tickets are sold in the form of single-day tickets, the price is very high, higher than many people think, but with one ticket you can browse any game in all venues throughout the day, and with the ticket, you can also get any team's uniform or signed photo and a variety of drinks and cheering props and other small gifts.

The first sale only released 5,000 tickets, and now I don't know which three teams in China will be able to enter the door of the World Finals, and I don't know the number and order of the game at all, maybe there is no game of the Chinese team on the first day, but it doesn't matter, five minutes, 5,000 tickets were sold out, this is only at home, 5,000 tickets were released simultaneously abroad, according to the feedback from there, because they want to go abroad to watch, so only about half of the tickets were snatched away, The remaining half was snatched by domestic audiences across the ocean, and then chose to send it back to China by international mail......

This situation is indeed unexpected, the two regions are the first to pre-sell tickets, and the tickets for other regions have not yet started, but also to test the audience's reaction, I didn't expect it to be so crazy, especially for domestic audiences, what is the concept of five thousand tickets in five minutes? In fact, it only took about a minute, but it only took five minutes to complete the whole process from booking to payment.

As early as in various forums, there are various masters who predict that domestic tickets will be very difficult to buy at that time, and they have also selflessly written a large number of tutorials, including bank card settings and various circumvention strategies, in order to grab those tickets of AIA, in order to maintain fairness, the same number of tickets will be put on the shelves simultaneously when selling tickets in several regions, if the Europe and the United States do not sell well, the pre-sale channel will be closed for a period of time in advance, and then the extra tickets will be returned to the relatively popular area in order to sell out, As a result, the domestic rush to buy frightened the headquarters in North America all of a sudden, and this rush to buy speed can be regarded as a record-breaking.

Of course, they won't understand that this group of fans in China has long been accustomed to the hunger marketing of various brands, not to mention only 5,000, 50,000 things will be snatched up for you in three minutes.

Of course, this result is very good, and now the tickets have not even started to be printed, because in the process of design, the soul of each team that entered the World Finals and the anti-counterfeiting logo need to be printed on the tickets, which are more troublesome, but the early test results are very good, and the official also gave the next pre-sale opening time very authentically, without letting players wait.

The next pre-sale will be the end of the first round, and the second round will open again in the middle of the tournament, leaving a batch of tickets for the final round of sale after the end of the summer season, when the teams that will enter the professional league have been determined, and I believe that fans of each family have confirmed that their teams have entered the World Finals, which will also attract a new round of buying frenzy.

In the final analysis, it's all business, and the H City E-sports Stadium has begun to undertake all kinds of billboards, and conspicuous locations such as near the main stage have been successfully auctioned, all of which are sky-high, especially some well-known manufacturers who are committed to entering the North American or other regional markets.

The professional teams also began to be interviewed in the first round of the promotional video, although there is no winner now, but some strong teams, especially the WE team and the WT team that have already qualified for the China qualifiers, have gained a lot of time to appear, and three people from the WT team were interviewed, namely Lan Yu, Chen Chuxiao and Mu Huan.

Because this is only the first round of promotional videos, the whole team will participate after the final quota comes out, so the three of them will appear in the camera.

"What would you say if the WT team ended up with three valuable tickets to the World Finals?" The host looked at Chen Chuxiao with a sweet smile and asked.

Chen Chuxiao sat quietly in front of the camera, smiling lightly, a little shy but confident: "You will say, 'There are a lot of bonuses waiting for us'......"

It's no secret that Chen Chuxiao's original intention in forming a team was to win enough prize money to travel around the world on his own.

"I think WT has a lot of hope of reaching the World Finals." The host looked at Mu Huan, who was expressionless, and asked.

Mu Huan looked at the camera and blinked, a rare smile appeared on his face, and said: "The group stage of the World Finals has settled in H City, of course we are 100% confident." ”

Lan Yu and Mu Huan next to him were interviewed together, and when they heard Mu Huan's answer, Lan Yu frowned, and said a little unhappily: "One hundred? It's 12 percent faith. ”

"Two hundred." Mu Huan said coldly.

"Two hundred and two."

"Two hundred and five."

"You're only two hundred and fifty ......"

……

The trailer did not cut out the clip of the two people shouting "two hundred and five" to each other, and the audience was laughing while looking forward to the arrival of the World Finals, and of course, paying more attention to the ongoing Summer League first round and week 5 matches.

This is the first year that China has three participating teams, and the competition for tickets to the World Finals is becoming more and more fierce.

The fifth week of the WT team is relatively easy, the opponent is the youth team at the bottom of the league, the new teams are like this, there will be a short period of time can not adapt to the rhythm of the professional league, although the youth team is better now, but the timing is not good, the spring season has the WT team, the dark horse team rose strongly to snatch a place, and it seems that they plan to continue to hit the top few in the summer season, this pressure makes the major teams train desperately.

Not only are the audience rushing to buy tickets crazy, these teams almost double their requirements for themselves, occasionally Lan Yu wakes up in the second half of the night and gets up to take a look at the game, and finds that the large and small trumpets of the professional team players in his friends are basically lit up, send a greeting to the past, and the answers they get are basically the same "Double row no?" ”

Scared, Lan Yu hurriedly went offline and left, if he didn't go crazy, he wouldn't survive, and if he didn't force himself, he would never know how good he was, these players of professional teams are in this state now, and they must win the game at home.

Perhaps infected by this mentality, this week's game WT team broke out a big upset, and was forced to draw 1-1 by the WE youth team, the WT team has nothing, the points are still not low, and the youth team also won their first point in the summer league.

In the first game, the WT team played very well, and the lines were very smooth when they were on the line, maintaining the same suppressive force and rhythm as always, especially Mu Huan, who was on the road, didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, and the weapon master he chose got twelve heads in the first game, died five times, and had seven assists.

This game is a big game, the WT team played unrestrainedly, the youth team responded decisively, the two sides continued to open a team, and even the commentary was saying that this game was not played as a big brawl on both sides......

In the end, the WT team finally overwhelmed the youth team with a better degree of tacit understanding and execution in the team battle, but although the youth team lost in this game, it was unanimously praised by the outside world, because the WT team played normally and did not have the slightest intention of releasing water, and the youth team withstood the pressure and forcibly dragged the game into the late stage, and the WT team did not become weaker, but the youth team became stronger and stronger.

The World Finals will really stimulate more than just strong teams.

In the second game, the high-spirited youth team "played" the WT team by prohibiting the selection of people, and actually came up with a lineup that the WT team is very good at: Akali, Wine Barrel, Weapon Master, Wind Girl, and Male Gun.

The lineup of the WT team is much more ordinary, the beginning is still the WT team dominant, but the discerning person can see at a glance that the WT team did not do their best in the second game, and the whole game was relatively easy, the purpose is to practice the lineup and exercise the tacit understanding, this game of the youth team played very well, the connection of the various lines has been quite a strong team style, and finally the two sides played for more than 30 minutes to separate the winner, and the youth team won the second game.

1-1, both sides are more satisfied, WT is the last weak team to meet in the first round, and then the last two games will challenge WE and IG team, but it seems that they are not nervous at all.
