"Then why did you suddenly decide that you didn't even tell us." Xu Nannan frowned and said, "And can this thing really make money?" ”

He used to know about CS1.6, and he heard that those players all spent the night in Internet cafes one by one, and even instant noodles were very luxurious things to eat, so he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Brother, this belongs to your information blind spot." Xu Beifang explained, "Professional players who play well now are actually very profitable, and my current weekly salary is 400 euros. ”

"400 euros!" Xu Nannan was a little surprised, "Are all those who play professionally now so profitable?" ”

Xu Beifang continued to add the bottom: "And IEM Shanghai Station, my prize money is about 8,000 US dollars, this time I won the championship in Hong Kong, and I can get 40,000 US dollars in the future." ”

"So much!!" Xu Nannan and Wang Xiaoya were both surprised by the content on the other end of the phone.

They are not underage students, they have already officially come out to work, and they know how difficult it is to make money.

Xu Nannan, as the third officer of an offshore ship, is now less than 2,500 US dollars per month.

In other words, the money my brother earned from playing games this summer is equivalent to him running a boat for 20 months!

And although seafarers are hard, they are also a very lucrative industry in their own right.

It's just that relatively speaking, the cost of running a ship in various countries is also very large.

"That uncle is very powerful." Wang Xiaoya said.

She herself opened a small flower shop in Suzhou, and when the business was good, she made a profit of five or six thousand a month.

She understands that for an ordinary person, it is an exaggeration to earn 50,000 US dollars in a summer vacation, and roughly calculated, it should be 350,000 or 60,000.

For a moment, both of them fell into a shocked mood, and they had not yet woken up from the change in their brother's identity.

"Brother, I can't go to Taizhou Port this time, tomorrow I will go to London with the team for training, and then I'm going to play Major, you can help me explain it to my parents."

The concept of the eldest brother is still relatively young, and he is just talking about beating himself.

But if you can't explain this thing, Dad will really get started.

"Flying to England?" Xu Nannan was a little disappointed, it seems that the watch can't be sent out this time.

The two chatted for a while, Xu Nannan knew that his younger brother could make money in this profession, and he also knew that his younger brother only kept his school status and chose to respect Xu Beifang's choice.

I just told Xu Beibei to pay attention to his safety when he was outside, not to conflict with people, and take the initiative to ask the local embassy for help in case he encountered something that could not be solved.

"You have to work hard yourself! Playing in front of so many people, the style of the old Xu family is brought out!! ”

Xu Beifang smiled and nodded.

Now he is in a happy state.

The next morning, my father called me and reprimanded him, but with the buffer of the eldest brother, he didn't scold him too much.

Xu Beifang also asked his eldest brother to help him go to school to go through the procedures for suspension, and he was already angry with the counselor.

The counselor is very supportive, after all, this has solved an employment before graduation, and even the fact that Xu Beifang has just won the Zotac Cup championship can become one of his achievements.

Can there be more of these students?

With the blessings of the counselor and family.

Xu Beibei, along with the team, officially embarked on the journey of the London Major

……

Hong Kong has direct flights to London, so they don't have to make a special transfer on the way.

"Young people are going abroad for the first time, are you nervous?" Before the plane took off, the little ghost sitting in the back seat patted Xu Beibei's shoulder.

Because of Xu Beibei's relationship, under Tianlu's inquiry, they bought tickets for the same flight and went out together, so they could take care of them.

"There's still a little bit of it."

Xu Beifang did not hide his inner emotions and nodded in reply.

"It's okay, it's a feeling to fly up and go to Hong Kong from China, it's not a big deal." MO comforted Xu Beifang on the side.

Although they are not members of the same team, they are both on good terms.

When Xu Beifang won the Zotai Cup before, Tianlu and other players also sent congratulations to him.

"Everyone has their first time, but when you fly a few more times, you get used to it." "That's the way CSGO is a profession, because there is no alliance, most of the tournaments are cup formats, and we need to go to all over the world to play offline. ”

"But in the past, we can travel everywhere for free." MO moved his leg a little, "Of course, the premise is that the visa is settled." ”

Hearing this, Xu Beifang smiled, and felt a little uncomfortable and hurriedly reined in.

But in this way, the tension in my heart is indeed less.

"It's just that I'm going to have jet lag later! This stuff is so annoying! DD complained from the side.

Jet lag is a painful journey for most players, and there isn't much time left for them this time.

Plane No. 31 will arrive in London in the afternoon of the 1st.

Then the number 5 is going to start the game in earnest, before that they have to reverse the jet lag and then go into training.

This is never the outcome that a normal person wants.

And jet lag is not just a simple lack of energy, the pressure of the game and my poor condition are likely to cause physical problems in the players, and fever or cold is the norm.

Xu Beifang also did not experience the feeling of jet lag, although he had the experience of sailing in China, the speed difference between the ship and the plane was still very large.

"Interview you, boy, how are you feeling at the First Major?" The little ghost's right hand made a microphone shape and placed it in front of Xu Beibei's chin.

"It's okay, I took a look at the qualifiers, and I can only say that it is difficult, but it is not particularly big." Xu Beifang replied with his recent record.

DD gave a thumbs up: "Young man is so ambitious!" It seems that this is the first time I have participated in the Major. ”

"You should be a gun shaker for everyone, right?" Xu Beifang also smiled and said.

DD didn't care.

However, they are a little more stressed than VPs.

Although they are ranked 11th in the world, they have not performed well in the last two tournaments.

There are state reasons for this, and there are also problems with running-in.

But since IEM Shanghai, Tianlu has been getting better.

Three of them are actively learning English, while two Indonesians are also actively learning Chinese.

This is the result of the dispute, and it is also a result that is more accepted by the people of Tianlu.

For the next month, they set aside a certain amount of time each day to learn English.

Tianlu is still very satisfied with their needs, and even specially invited an English teacher to teach them, and now the overall communication of the team is much smoother.

Seeing the changes in the team, although the study was very boring, they still gritted their teeth and persevered.

Seeing the changes in the team, although the study was very boring, they still gritted their teeth and persevered.

One can only hope for a good result in the next Major.

……

The cabin began to close, and at the prompting of the flight attendant, they stopped small talk and began to wait for the plane to take off.

After a slight bump, some returned to steady.

He enjoyed the scenery at an altitude of 10,000 meters for a while, which was still very rare on weekdays.

But after looking at it for a while, the scenery is the same, but there is nothing unusual.

The taste of the plane meal was not very good, but looking at the slender and fleshy long legs of the flight attendant not far away, the meal was a lot fragrant for a while.

After eating, the bored Xu Beifang also began to enter the [Dungeon-Unlimited Deathmatch Space], working hard in a place where no one noticed.

After a long journey of fifteen hours, they finally arrived at their destination - London!

Tianlu and the others got off the plane to gather together, and then Kuben began to contact the organizers of the event, and soon after met up with a middle-aged man with thinning hair.

After a brief introduction, the event staff put them on the bus and drove to the hotel provided by the race team.

"There will be no additional events at the Major for the next few days, only on September 5th, when we officially start the qualifiers, and after the qualifiers, if we can make it to the group stage, then there will be a chance to shoot a promotional video, and we will notify you at that time."

The staff member explained the next schedule to the runners in the bus in English.

Then he took out a handful of event passes from a bag he had brought with him and handed them out one by one.

"Next, in order to prevent fans from mixing into the hotel, this time the hotel is directly packaged, whether it is to enter or exit the hotel or the venue, you need a pass, and you will not release people without a pass." The middle-aged balding staff reminded.

Xu Beifang raised his hand and asked, "What if I forget to bring my pass, or if I lose my pass?" ”

Even if there is a reminder, it is normal for items to be lost.

"You can find your coach or team leader, or ask the staff to help prove it, you all have your own photos on HLTV to prove it."

Everyone reacted, this is true, as long as you can prove that you are a professional player, and whether it is in the hotel or the venue, the staff can take you in.

"We offer a hotel with training rooms, a cafeteria, and a gym ......," he said, looking at a muscle stick, "I heard that your competitive strength depends on the level of the nearby gym?" Then this time, it seems that VP is going to explode! ”

Pasha's eyes lit up obviously, for a fitness madman, whether there is a good gym or not is very determined by his own mentality.

A good attitude is a great help to strength.

The others were in a very good mood when they heard this message.

The event team provided accommodation, training, food and even entertainment and fitness, and this hotel basically solved all their problems during the competition.

"It seems that in the next few days, we will not even need to go out of the hotel except to buy some toiletries." Xu Beifang said with a smile.

The bus drove slowly through the streets of London, and looking at the blonde and balding people around him finally made him feel a little foreign land.

As they drove all the way to the door of the hotel, they also saw some bits and pieces of fans.

They were dressed in the uniforms of Faze, NAVI, and NIP, and they obviously knew the news in advance and came here to break off.

It can only be said that it is worthy of playing CSGO, and the information judgment is strong, knowing that you can catch players in advance here, and if you are lucky, you can also get an autograph or group photo.

It's much more real than the crowding on media days.

VP everyone also saw a fan of theirs.

Even Tianlu has a foreign fan.

Players wearing the uniforms of other teams also walked over, and there was even a guy wearing a G2 jersey who said to pasha, "I'm a fan of VP. ”

Xu Beifang held back his laughter, but still took a photo with the passers-by.

The passers-by left satisfied, and the middle-aged person in charge with thinning hair took them to check in at the hotel.

After checking in, the middle-aged person in charge called another younger staff member and motioned for him to take the Tianlu people to familiarize themselves with the area.

He led the VP everyone into the elevator: "The first floor is the reception hall, and the second floor is our cafeteria, where everyone's daily eating problems can be solved." ”

"The third and fourth floors are the rest areas for our staff, the fourth floor is the rest area for the media people, and the fifth and sixth floors are your own housing areas."

"On the sixth and seventh floors, there is a training area for the 16 teams, and you used it at the beginning of the qualifiers."

"But if you are eliminated from the competition in the future, this training room will have to be used by others."

It's a bit brutal, but it's not really that bad.

After all, if you are eliminated, then you still have to train a hair!

It's all over the airport, just be a spectator, feel the atmosphere of Major, and train for something.

Coming to the sixth floor, Xu Beifang followed the large army out and came all the way to the fifth room on the right hand.

The person in charge took out a VP note from his small bag, pasted it on the door, took out the key card and opened the door.

"This is your next training room, you can try to see if there is any problem with the equipment, and if there is a problem, you will give us feedback in time."

"But we've done debugging before, so there shouldn't be any problems."

VP everyone entered the battle room, and the overall space was large, with a total of six computers, a projection, a tactical chalkboard, and even a mat on the desktop with 7 active CSGO maps.

The space is not small, and it is well equipped, which makes the VP quite satisfied.

One by one, they turned on their computers and began to debug their devices.

"Then you guys sort it out first, kuben, you left my contact information, and call me in time if you have any questions!"

It is the first time that the Faceit platform is preparing for a large-scale event of this level, and as one of the people who connect with the team, the work of a middle-aged bald man is not easy.

After confirming that there was no problem, he handed the room key to Kuben and left quietly.

VP everyone also linked their devices to the computer, and most of them had no problem with their devices, only MICHU's headphones were noisy for some reason, and everyone discussed that they would buy a similar one nearby.

They didn't start training directly, but made an appointment to go out and start buying daily necessities.

In the midst of all these trivial matters, they are gradually ready to enter the Major.

The monthly pass is 2400, and then +1 chapter.

Then the starting point coin also accumulated 20,000 today, +2 chapters.

Because of the large number of tips, I won't list them one by one, I really don't have so much time for coffee now, and I will pull it out to thank you when I have time.

I'm sorry.

The final transition of this chapter will start directly into the game tomorrow.

(End of chapter)
