Chapter 175: Don't be an old teammate, I'm really unfamiliar
The follow-up quarterfinals are scheduled for early June.
It may also be something that takes into account the need for visas for team members in other regions.
The format of the quarterfinals and semi-finals is Bo3, with only the final being Bo5.
The tournament lasts a total of five days.
The quarterfinals were played on the first two days, and the semifinals were played on the third day.
After a full day's rest, the final will be played on the last day.
Looking at it this way, the schedule is still very tight.
Of the eight teams promoted this time, four of them are teams from the Korean CK League and two teams from LDL, and it stands to reason that most of them are professional teams.
Also, it is naturally Ning Yuan's summit team.
The remaining one is more peculiar, the origin is unknown, and it seems that it is not a professional team.
The team members have Chinese IDs and Korean IDs, and it seems that they are composed of both Chinese and Koreans.
Previously, the points on the ladder list were about 15th, which was not particularly outstanding, but they won the knockout rounds in the top 32 and round of 16 and successfully advanced to the top eight.
This should be the only passerby team among their eight teams.
At present, the detailed information about all the participating teams has not been officially revealed to the outside world, and the promotional posters only have the names of the teams and the IDs of the team members.
It seems that it will not be officially unveiled until the start of the competition.
The purpose was supposed to be to maintain a sense of mystery, and the form was very original.
There are still more than ten days before the start of the game, and the venue is in Tianhai, for Ning Yuan, it is equivalent to being carried out at the door of their home, and they don't have to go far away, which is quite comfortable.
And in recent days, since Ningyuan's day suddenly started broadcasting, after revealing some key information during his live broadcast, it caused an uproar on the Internet.
Several pieces of news are blockbuster news and have caused quite a stir!
The eyes of the masses are bright, their brains are all smart, and after a little thought, they quickly sorted out the ins and outs of a series of clues and evidence.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, he had no choice but to stand up and respond.
On May 26, a message was released under VYG's official Weibo.
【Announcement of the departure of VYG Esports Club personnel】
[Wayback (Ningyuan) players officially joined the VYG E-sports Club in March and became a part of us, the current contract has expired, we have friendly communication with it on the premise of respecting the player's personal wishes, unfortunately the contract was not renewed, and he officially left the team from now on]
[For two months, the Wayback players have fought side by side with the team members, accompanied the team out of the predicament to end the losing streak, and played a proud record of four consecutive wins in the final schedule. Here, I would like to thank him very much for his hard work during his time with the team, and extend my heartfelt wishes to the wayback player, wishing him all the best sailing and bright future in the future! I would also like to thank the fans for their continued love and support for the VYG Esports Club and Wayback players.
Although netizens have already had the bottom in their hearts and expected it in advance, as soon as the official news is released, it is still enough to shake people!
As they thought, sure enough, they finally left the team!
In this regard, some fans of VYG expressed regret, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that after Ning Yuan joined, the team had undergone earth-shaking changes.
From the words of this announcement, it can also be seen that the club is also quite reluctant.
The team's results are thriving, and the attention on the Internet continues to rise, everything is fine, and I believe that no matter who it is, he will not want to let him go.
Of course, they couldn't impose their will on Ning Yuan.
Everyone has their own path to take.
There is not much to say except blessings and farewells.
Of course, as for most of Ning Yuan's personal fans, it is natural that wherever he goes, he will follow him.
Regarding Ning Yuan's future movements, although there is no more official news at the moment, the general direction can be determined, and the "Ascending" team should be his next stop if nothing else.
Therefore, what everyone is looking forward to now is the upcoming quarterfinals of "Battle on Top of the World......
......
These days, after moving into the base, everyone is gradually getting familiar with the new life.
Compared to the hotel, of course, the big villa is comfortable.
Also, although the sound insulation effect of the e-sports area used in the Internet café before is okay, the smell of smoke is still unavoidable, and the place is relatively small, so it is very stuffy to stay in.
Now, with a special training room, the place is much wider, and no one smokes, the air quality has improved a lot, and everyone has their own dedicated computers, which is naturally much more comfortable than surfing the Internet in an Internet café.
In the beginning, only a few of them lived in the base.
After a few days, gradually, there were more people in the villa.
The manager, team leader, coach, analyst and others moved into the base in turn, and they all met with Ning Yuan.
Ning Yuan had already known about these in advance.
The new coach's surname is Li and his name is Li Haocheng.
He used to be a former StarCraft pro and an older generation of e-sports people.
After retiring, I fell in love with the game League of Legends.
I didn't continue to play professionally because of my age, but the level of the game is not low, and I have always maintained a high rank, and I have also worked as a coach and assistant coach in other teams before, so I have a lot of experience.
As for his specific coaching level, it is still unclear, but Ning Yuan said that he is not worried.
Speaking of which, it's not that there are no "coaches" in their team, if you want to talk about professionalism, who can compare to Yan Cheng?
In addition, the aunt who specializes in cooking was also invited to come over, and she was responsible for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, which means that you don't have to order takeout frequently every day in the future.
The things in life are basically handed over to the team leader.
That's just the current state of the club, but of course, there's a lot more to come.
For example, the relevant business departments, such as the media business, to promote the image of the club, and the commercial business, which is to deal with the business activities of the club, etc.
The most basic thing is to release the dynamic information related to the club, such as event information, personnel adjustments, official announcements and statements of the club, followed by internal tidbits, interviews, daily life and other peripherals, such as official posters or videos, which also require special art design, video editing, copyediting, etc.
For example, those who specialize in managing Weibo operations are part of this.
All these people who need them have to be found one by one.
It is not so easy to become a big e-sports club, in addition to funds, you also need a lot of contacts and experience in all aspects.
As for their club, one of the two major shareholders doesn't know much about this and is only responsible for throwing money, while the other is a professional.
In the past two years, he has been mixed in the professional e-sports circle, and before that, he has also run a club, although it is only a secondary league, not into the LPL, but the relevant experience is absolutely rich.
Up to now, almost everything has been handled by him, and I believe he will handle the rest of the rest properly.
So Ning Yuan doesn't have to worry about these.
The most important thing at the moment is to focus on the upcoming games.
No matter how you look at it, there is no room for error.
When it comes to the quarterfinals, the opponent is not so easy to deal with.
Their opponent in the first round is an LDL team, and they are also the fourth-place team in this year's Spring Tournament.
The level gap between the secondary leagues and the top leagues is still quite obvious.
Back then, there were some teams at the bottom of the LPL, and once they were relegated to the LSP, they began to dominate and control the thunder and lightning.
Many LPL players who were regarded by the audience as quite stretched, after going to the secondary league, suddenly seemed to become the god of war and began to kill indiscriminately.
The gap in the quality of the league is obvious, but it doesn't mean that Ning Yuan will definitely win easily.
After all, they haven't started playing LPL yet, and their level hasn't been accurately positioned, so they don't dare to casually amplify and say that they want to beat the other side.
In the past two days, in addition to playing ranked training, they also watched a lot of videos of each other playing in the spring game, and studied the playing style of the opposite side.
Five people, along with the coach and analyst, sat together and had a serious discussion.
"Their team is mainly looking at the mid laner and the bottom lane, the jungler is a pure tool man, and the top lane is not the core of Kerry."
Coach Li Haocheng said: "Moreover, their team's style of play is relatively stable, and they often choose some late lineups...... It can be seen from the overall game time, I like to put it off, and then play with the opposite side when I am equipped......"
After listening to it, everyone agreed, and this wave of analysis was still in place, and it was to the point.
"Actually, don't be afraid, their level of going down the road is like that."
Ye Canglan said: "I played with their team in the spring game, and the two of them were pressed by me...... If it weren't for our Nakano two vegetables B, it would be useless to fight in the back, and it would be impossible to lose to them at all. ”
Yin Kai smiled: "You are hinting that if we lose the game, I will take the blame with the two brothers in the city." ”
"It depends on how you understand it, I just have one thing to say." Ye Canglan shrugged.
Yan Cheng also smiled and shook his head when he heard this.
Subsequently, they conducted a more detailed analysis and discussed corresponding countermeasures.
As I said before, no matter whether the opponent is strong or weak, you have to be ready for battle.
......
......
The tournament officially kicked off on June 5.
The location is located in the Tianhai Sports Center.
On June 3, they were officially notified that they would come to the venue in advance for the rehearsal of the opening ceremony.
In the aisle of the venue, Ning Yuan was holding a selfie stick and a mobile phone in front of him, taking pictures everywhere.
At the same time, the LOL section of Shark TV, the live broadcast room at the front, has a popularity value of more than 4 million.
[Name of the live broadcast room: Outdoor live broadcast, take everyone to the rehearsal today]
"See, that's what it looks like inside."
Ning Yuan said into the microphone of the headset while filming the situation around him.
“6666666666666666”
"Awesome!"
"It's good!"
"Isn't this Tianhai Gymnasium!"
"The game hasn't started, you can shoot it?"
"Reveal the inside story, huh?"
"Aren't you afraid that the official will trouble you? Get away with murder? ”
"It's hard to have a relationship!"
“......”
On the screen of the phone, the displayed barrage brushes back and forth.
"Don't panic, I've confirmed this with the official, this place is just shooting, it's fine."
Ning Yuan smiled calmly and said, "However, if you go to the competition venue later, you will have to turn off the broadcast...... You can't leak the content of the rehearsal in advance, otherwise you're going to get me in trouble...... Thank you all for the gift...... What, does it depend on anyone else? ”
So he turned his head and beckoned: "Come on, come on, they want to see you, come and show your face." ”
As a result, it was exchanged for a lot of disgust.
"Come on! I don't show my face! ”
"Climb climb climb!"
"Hurry up and turn off your live broadcast, okay? It's a shame to walk with you! ”
Along the way, he was shaking around with a selfie stick in his hand, chattering non-stop, and the people around him looked at him as if they were looking at two strokes......
A few of his teammates wanted to stay away from him.
"Pull it down, and if you don't show it, you won't show it."
Ning Yuan secretly scolded them in his heart for not understanding the hardships of life.
Accumulated to this month, he has to broadcast more than 300 hours in total, and there are too many debts.
Why don't you hurry up and find a chance to mess around for a long time and wait for death?
Approaching the main hall, Ning Yuan put the selfie stick back.
"Alright, let's go here first...... Wait for the rehearsal to be over, and then look at the situation after I go back, whether to broadcast or not......"
I was just about to turn it off, but at this moment, in the front position, I saw another group of people.
Three of them he didn't recognize.
And when he saw the other two people, Ning Yuan's footsteps suddenly stopped, and the smile on his face disappeared little by little.
"What's wrong?"
Yan Cheng was the first to notice the change in him and asked.
"Look ahead." Ning Yuan's voice became very low.
Yan Cheng looked in the direction he said, and was stunned.
How could it be...... These two people?
Soon, the group in front also noticed the behind.
"Woo~~~~ Isn't this the Far Emperor!"
One of the men grinned, his eyes widened: "! That's too much of a coincidence, isn't it? ”
"Oh! Brother Yuan is here! The other man also had a similar expression: "Long time no see!" ”
Immediately, Ning Yuan immediately turned off the live broadcast on his mobile phone and walked forward without saying a word, seemingly not planning to deal with the other party at all.
"Hey, don't be so cold!" The man laughed, "Anyway, we used to be old teammates, you ...... Not quite right? ”
I saw that Ning Yuan didn't stop his steps, but just walked straight towards the venue.
As he passed by them, he calmly spat out a few words.
"Don't be an old teammate, I'm really unfamiliar."
Hahahahaha!
There was a burst of laughter behind him.
Afterwards, there were several hours of rehearsals, according to the official requirements, remembering the order and position of their appearances in turn, and simulating the situation of rehearsing the stage the day after tomorrow several times.
During this period, there was no communication with the team.
Yin Kai and the others also noticed that today's Ning Yuan was not as active as before, and he talked unusually little.
After the rehearsal, on the way back.
"Ning Yuan, those few people...... Who is it? Yin Kai stood up and asked what everyone wanted to ask.
Ning Yuan shook his head lightly.
"It's just two sand mouths."
