Chapter 186: G-League
"This ...... What is it! ”
Zhu Quehuang, who had never been out of Beijing as a child, screamed when he stepped on the ground with his feet on the ground.
"Oh oh oh oh oh! It smells super clean! ”
"It's not a shame." Ye Qiu hit Zhu Quehuang on the head with a fist, calming him down.
"But it's clean! Sky! The sky is really blue! And white clouds!! White clouds! I don't know how many times a year I'll see you! White clouds! ”
"Enough! Die in disgrace! Ye Qiu and Bai Hu gave Zhu Quehuang his first double blow.
So Zhu Quehuang could only touch the back of his head that bulged out two bags, squatting on the ground and screaming in pain.
The NF team members also got out of the car, but they obviously looked like they had been to Shanghai many times, and they all calmly dragged the boxes directly to the exit.
"Let's go, keep up." Xu Yunlong waved his hand and asked everyone to follow the team, "There are people outside the venue, let's go to the hotel to settle down first." ”
"Someone else picks it up." Zhu Quehuang's eyes widened.
"Do you think you ran over on your own?" Ye Qiu said funny, "What age is it, lo." ”
"What are you doing, keep up!" didn't see Zhu Quehuang and Ye Qiu follow, Xu Yunlong shook his arm in front of him and shouted loudly.
After the exit of the station, you can hardly look for the staff wearing suits and standing in front of a bus with the G League logo printed on it.
Obviously, they all knew each other, and when Xu Yunlong and Xiao Qingyue appeared, one of them, who still looked quite handsome, walked up, stretched out his hand, and said with a smile: "I saw you two again this year." ”
"yes. I didn't expect you to pick us up this year. Xiao Qingyue, as the team manager and team leader, stepped forward and shook hands with the little brother.
"Please get in the car first, if you have anything to say on the way." The little brother let go of the car door, made a gesture of please, and asked OK and the group to get in the car.
However, before a few people could get into the car, I heard the voice of a passer-by who came from nowhere: "b God!! It's bGod!! And lola!! ”
Presumably the player who came to pick up the train. Originally, it was on the NF's side. As soon as NF's car left, I turned around and saw the bright OK team uniform, so I called out.
"Get in the car!" Xiao Qingyue directly pushed Xu Yunlong into the car.
The other four people were puzzled, shouldn't this be the time to give benefits to fans.
"Sister Lola, shouldn't you sign a name for our dear fans?" Qi Lin stroked his curly hair and said with a narcissistic face.
"Okay. If someone asks you to sign it, you can sign it, and then take a taxi to the hotel yourself. Xiao Qingyue said calmly, and then Xuanwu pushed him into the car, and then beckoned Zhu Quehuang and Ye Qiu to hurry up and follow.
"Take your own taxi, take your own taxi." Qi Lin said that this was nothing at all, and the reception brother smiled and handed him the manual, and then got on the bus. Tell the driver to drive.
Qi Lin turned around, already prepared his expressions and lines, and cleared his throat in the face of the large crowd that had already rushed towards him.
"Ah, dear fans, please don't crowd and ...... one by one" However, it was not finished. was blocked back.
"Hey! Are you an OK worker? bGod?! ”
"Ask for the signature of !! God"
"I want the Poseidon's signature!"
"Huh? You're kind of like Lin, eh. ”
"What about bGod? What about bGod? ”
"Kneel and beg for a signature from God!"
"bGod, I will bear you a child!!"
Qi Lin still kept smiling, but he couldn't hold his face.
The bus behind him had already started, and it was too late for him to get there.
However, fans surrounded him and asked about Xu Yunlong's condition.
"Well, don't you know me?" Qi Lin felt that he had not received a blow at all.
"OK newcomer?"
"OK there's a new person again?"
"No, I didn't see that they released it on Weibo."
"It can't really be lin......"
Suddenly hearing someone say this, Qi Lin became excited, after all, after he returned to China, he only sent messages on FB and Twitter, and he hadn't opened Weibo yet, so he couldn't blame these fans for anything.
"That's right! I'm ......"
"How is that possible. It just looks a little like it. The other muttered carefully, "How can Lin be so short." ”
With a snap, Qi Lin felt that something was broken in his heart.
"Also, it looks pretty tall in the photo."
Bang bang, Qi Lin already wanted to cry without tears.
"I'm really lin!!!!!!"
There was a long roar in the sky. Qi Lin was speechless and choked.
On the other side, in the car, the little brother who received the reception had already begun to explain various matters of this competition to the group.
"The tournament starts on July 5th, and before that, you can go to the stadium to watch the group stage of each group, and now it's underway. On July 5th, the group finals of each group will start at 2 p.m., and the competition system will be BO3. The winner stays in the field. At eight o'clock in the evening, we have a live broadcast of the lottery, so please also ask the manager or team leader" Speaking of this, the little brother gestured to Xiao Qingyue, Xiao Qingyue nodded, "The list of people who will go on stage to draw lots before the fifth and the list of matches to participate in the solo and team competitions." ”
"Isn't this year a single-loss cycle?" Xu Yunlong frowned.
"Yes and no." The little brother explained with a smile: "Because you are a seed team, you can enter directly." Because there are so many teams participating this year, we have changed the format a bit. The top three in each group enter the BO2 round-robin where the seeded teams compete for the top eight qualifying places, and they still look at the points. The first place in each group will be promoted. So even if it's seeded, it's going to be a lot of pressure this year. ”
"Well, I want to ask!" Zhu Quehuang raised his hand.
"Okay, just ask." The little brother nodded with a smile.
"Why BO2? I've never heard of a BO2 game. ”
"It's a format that's unique to our G League." As if he had known that Zhu Quehuang would ask this question, the little brother blurted out without thinking about it, "Because we take into account the mood of each team and each player, we have set up a system like BO2." That is, there is a draw. Here's an example. For example, if there are four teams competing for the championship, and the format is BO2, there will be points. A team that wins both games will accumulate two points. There are no points if both games are lost, and one point is accumulated for a draw. If all four teams are draws, they will enter a single defeat in BO1, but if it is not a draw, for example, if one team draws against the other two teams, but wins 2:0 against the third team, then he has accumulated 4 points. The team that loses to him will earn two points if they are tied against the other two teams, and if the other two teams are also drawn, they will earn three points each, so that the team with four points will advance directly. The advantage of the BO2 format is that it saves time and saves the physical exertion of the team members. If it's a bo3, if the first two sentences are a long game. In the third game, even if you win, it will be very draining, and you won't have a good performance on the second day, right? ”
“…… Hmm...... "Zhu Quehuang felt that his head was a little dizzy, and he was okay with numbers, but it was a little difficult for him to sort out the effective information in it based on such a large paragraph of language description.
"In a nutshell. It is the BO2 format that effectively saves time and energy, and there will be no such thing as not playing seriously in the first game and moving back to the last two games. ”
"Oh." Zhu Quehuang understood this time.
"Is there anything else you'd like to ask?" The little brother looked inside the car, but no one raised his hand, so he continued, "When the list is confirmed, unless there are special circumstances, the members on the list are not allowed to change during the competition. Please understand this because we need to take care of the team with few substitutions. ”
"Is he talking about us?" Ye Qiu muttered quietly.
"The format after that was no different than before. Eight teams in the knockout round are BO2 round-robin, and the top four points advance to the semi-finals, the semi-finals are BO3 round-robin, and the top two points will play the finals. This time, we have added a final format, which has not been done in previous editions. As for why, it is inconvenient to disclose it directly, but it can be considered that it is required by the sponsor. The final was BO5. That's pretty much it.、"
"I always feel that this competition system has no passion." Zhu Quehuang blinked.
"Then you'll know if there's a passion." Xu Yunlong took a puff of his cigarette and spit it out heavily, "It's still the same old rule this year?" ”
"Yes." The little brother nodded.
"The old rules?" Zhu Quehuang, who had never participated in the competition, and Bai Hu, and even Xuan Wu, who had been away from the professional circle for a long time, didn't quite understand.
"It's the semi-finals that begin, and the glass house is removed." Ye Qiu explained, "The contestants sit face to face and can be taunted. ”
"Huh?" The white tiger was stunned, "It will affect concentration." ”
"Yes, it affects me." Xu Yunlong said calmly, "Haven't you ever played offline games called professional?" It's the real heartbeat to confront the opponent head-on. ”
Bai Hu pushed his glasses and frowned, "I don't like offline competitions, it's a headache." ”
"Then change Qi Lin to play, anyway, that kid should like offline games the most." Xu Yunlong has no scruples, this is the advantage of having a substitute, and the substitute can be used at any time.
After being silent for a while, the white tiger said seriously, "I will try my best to adapt." ”
Xu Yunlong smiled and didn't say anything more.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the ibis hotel.
Because the venue of the game is in the Luwan Stadium, the price is fair, and it is not very far away.
"Wow ......" Looking at his room, Zhu Quehuang's eyes were a little wide-eyed, "It's so beautiful!" ”
“…… Is that satisfying? Ye Qiu, who was in the same room as Zhu Quehuang, looked at him with disdain, and put his bag on the edge of the bed, "You know, if you go to TI, it's a better hotel to live in." If you win, you'll get an extended Lincoln transfer and champagne the following year. ”
Zhu Quehuang was about to drool when he heard it, lengthening Lincoln, what kind of rhythm was that? That's a beautiful painting!!
I closed my eyes and imagined myself in a suit, sitting in an elongated Lincoln, holding a beautiful woman left and right, champagne in my hand......
I'm so drunk!
"Hey. Feed! What do you think? Ye Qiu patted Zhu Quehuang's face, "Don't dream, let's play a good game." ”
"Oh......" was woken up by Ye Qiu, Zhu Quehuang rubbed his face and began to put his luggage.
In the next room are Xu Yunlong and Xuan Wu.
Both of them are veterans. There was no nonsense, and when I entered the room, I started to pack my luggage.
"I feel like the G League is not the same as before." Xuanwu said with emotion, "There was a small Internet café back then, and a few people played against the broken computer, and if they won the motherboard, please have a meal, how can there be any bonus." It's good now. There is even a special shuttle bus. ”
"It's been more than ten years." Xu Yunlong said with a smile, "You've been away for too long. ”
"It's only been a few years." Xuanwu took out his mouse and keyboard, took out special cleaning tools, and began to maintain them one by one.
"This keyboard ...... Why don't you change it? Xu Yunlong laughed directly after seeing Xuanwu's keyboard, he hadn't paid much attention to it before, but now he looked at it. I found out that it was actually the oldest model of mechanical keyboard, which was five or six years old.
"Reluctantly, I'm used to it." Xuan Wu smiled, "How can I say it, I bought it with the first surplus salary." ”
Xu Yunlong's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly reached out and rubbed Xuanwu's hair, "If you let me lose the game because the keyboard is not responsive." I can't spare you. ”
"It's maintained every day, no." Xuan Wu smiled.
"Let's go, let's see if Qi Lin is back, let's go to the arena and have a look, there should be a lot of teams here today." Xu Yunlong changed his shirt, after all, wearing an OK team uniform was too conspicuous to dangle in the arena.
"Hmm." Xuan Wu put down the keyboard, got up and changed his clothes, and followed Xu Yunlong out of the door.
As soon as the two of them went out, they saw Qi Lin untidy, with scratches on his face and hands, panting and standing at the door. Staring at them.
"Yo, you're back, how's it going? Is it still pleasant to sign? Xu Yunlong asked with a smile.
“…… Ahaha, very, very good...... "Qi Lin didn't want to admit that he was embarrassed, so he only insisted that he had more face.
"Okay. In the future, you will be the spokesperson of the OK scene, and you will be on this kind of thing in the future. Xu Yunlong happily threw off the burden, "Any news interviews or whatever, it's all up to you." ”
"yes, I like it." Qi Lin forced a smile.
"Let's go, call the piglets, take you to see the arena, and change your clothes first." Xu Yunlong said and knocked Zhu Quehuang and the others away.
After changing their clothes, they went to hand over Xiao Qingyue again, but Xiao Qingyue and Leng Duxue said that they were very tired and didn't go to the arena, so the two of them watched the TV series in the hotel.
The hotel has been chartered by the organizers, and the car downstairs is the pick-up and drop-off car, and the driver is also on standby, which is also a major feature of the G League. A lot of it is voluntary; The organizers didn't leave any money behind to help, and the ticket revenue was also spent. According to the words of the current host of the G League, "E-sports has not reached the point where it can be used to make money, and now I don't expect this to make money, I spend all the money you give on the game, you can see." ”
Therefore, the G League is also known as a conscience game by players, and for players, participating in domestic competitions, the G League is also the favorite, but the G League is the last offline without sound insulation, which makes many people unbearable.
After the six people arrived at the stadium in a car, they were startled by the deafening cheers as soon as they entered.
Even if it was the group stage, it was actually full.
The group stage trials were not equipped with commentators, but only eight large electronic screens suspended in mid-air, and in the center of the stadium, eight large glass rooms were erected, and each team's players played against their opponents in the glass room.
"Woo whoa, whoa, whoa! It's spectacular!! It's the first time I've seen so many people compete together! The moment Zhu Quehuang stepped into the gymnasium, he excitedly ran directly to the edge of the guardrail, grabbed the guardrail and leaned forward.
"Be careful not to fall." Ye Qiu dragged Zhu Quehuang back, and at the same time said with emotion: "I was quite surprised when I first came. ”
"Poof." However, Zhu Quehuang suddenly covered his mouth and secretly laughed and said, "Pretend to be calm." ”
"That was a long time ago, okay!" Ye Qiu screamed in embarrassment.
"Where's Group F?" Xuan Wu still hasn't forgotten the purpose of coming, "Let's see what happens to our opponent first." ”
"By the way, who are the seeded teams this year?" Qi Lin followed behind a few people, and when he was looking for Group F together, he suddenly thought of this problem.
"Huh? Don't you know? Ye Qiu couldn't believe that Qi Lin hadn't even memorized such the most basic things.
"Who remembers those boring things." Qi Lin snorted, "Anyway, no matter who comes, I will defeat them!" ”
"yes, we'll beat it for you." Xu Yunlong answered very indifferently, "Come on, solo." ”
"Huh, huh? bGod don't want this, let me participate in it. ”
"Don't you want to compete in a solo competition?"
"That's right."
"Solo or team competition, choose one or the other."
"......" Qi Lin frowned and began to think seriously, "Solo I really want to fight, solo is my strength, it's no problem to pick three." How to say that I am also the first in the world, what is a small China? But the team competition also seems to be very interesting, mainly because you can play with God B, and you haven't played with God B yet...... Ahh......h Huh? Feed! How come you've all come so far! ”
Trotting all the way to catch up with the five people who left him, Qi Lin pouted unhappily, "Leave me again." ”
"No, you're left behind." Ye Qiu said very seriously.
"Huh? Really? Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was really the case, "Don't talk about this, you haven't told me which teams this year are." ”
"In addition to us, there are SY, CODE, NF, SG, MZ, MLGB and CAO." (To be continued.)
