Since the official team members were confirmed, everyone has been training even harder.
Because Qiu Zhenyang said that even those who are screened can continue to challenge the official team members, so whether they are selected or not selected, they have a great sense of crisis and can only find balance through continuous training.
At the same time, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu's crazy training mode also aroused their fighting spirit. Even the big bosses are working hard. What's the point of their just thinking
Time flew by in the intense training, and the school league match happened to be scheduled during a short holiday, which reduced everyone's pressure a lot, and other club members could also have time to watch the game.
In the last three days before the start of the school league, the official members of Qiu Zhenyang's team were also determined, and the team list was reported to the teacher in charge of the school league at the college for them to register. In the end, the original team was pushed down by three positions by the members who came up. Although the replaced members were regretful, they were also convinced of their defeat.
After all, they are a whole team, and the team's victory is the final success!
In the last three days, Qiu Zhenyang's grandmother also sent several right-hand assistants to take care of the food and lodging issues when other colleges came to Star Academy for competitions. These are experienced people who have arranged the teams of all participating schools properly.
At the same time, Qiu Zhenyang has also secured exclusive copyright for his own game platform. This school league will only be broadcast on the game live broadcast platform owned by the First Consortium, which will attract a large number of viewers to the platform!
The night before the school league starts, everyone who is about to participate in the game falls asleep more or less nervous and excited.
Tomorrow, they will have their own stage!
At nine o'clock the next morning, everyone gathered in the competition hall of Star Academy.
The competition hall is a place specially used by Star Academy to hold various competitions. It is quite large and can accommodate tens of thousands of people at the same time. For this competition, the "Machine War" game officially provided 1,500 brand-new factory game cabins. At the same time, it spent a lot of money to install anti-cheating and monitoring systems. It also sent more than a dozen technicians to the scene to deal with possible situations at any time. Various problems will arise.
In addition, various media from the entire Capital Star also flocked to the venue, all wanting to get first-hand information.
After all the school's participating team members arrived and sat down in the waiting area, the principal walked slowly onto the stage, and everyone in the audience gradually became quiet and waited quietly.
The principal tapped the microphone and smiled after hearing the sound coming from the speaker: "First of all, we would like to extend our warmest welcome to all our friends who have come from afar!"
Everyone clapped, and the principal nodded with satisfaction and continued: "Secondly, I have great expectations for this school league. Although I am an old man who doesn't usually play games, but seeing you young The look of people's blood boiling can also make people feel excited. At the same time, I also understand how important this school league is to everyone here who loves games. Therefore, I will not waste everyone's time. I will read the rules and requirements below.”
In fact, the competition requirements were sent to the leading teachers of each team two days ago, but to be on the safe side, the principal read them to everyone again.
"Yesterday, I have troubled all the teachers who led the team to come to my place to draw the numbers. We will shuffle these numbers and randomly form teams. The winning team will advance directly, and the losing team will enter the second round of the knockout round and compete again. The winner of the match will advance, and the rest will unfortunately be eliminated.”
One hundred and twenty teams were displayed on the big screen behind the principal, and then random matching began. After three seconds, everyone's opponents in the first round appeared on the screen.
"The teachers and students in this school are pretty good, but I don't know how they are in terms of games." Zhuo Hang did a lot of research in advance for this competition and got a lot of information about the participating teams. So as soon as he saw the opponents his team was matched with, he immediately looked through the small notebook he kept with him recently and told everyone about their basic situation.
Yuan Chenyu patted his shoulder, grinned and said, "Not bad, you even know these things, it seems you have done a lot of homework!"
Zhuo Hang put away the notebook in his hand and raised his eyebrows: "Well, when you are training like crazy, I can't just do nothing, right? I already know almost all the information about these opponents and can provide you with it. Some of the most basic information. However, I can’t give you some reference for some situations that will occur during the game, you can only rely on yourself.”
Guan Tang, who had been clenching his fists nervously, also raised his hands: "And me and me! I also have a share of credit for this information! Ling Mu, there are a lot of school information that is difficult to check, I asked my dad to Mom helped me, it’s so hard!”
Ling Mu nodded respectfully: "You did a good job."
Guan Tang suddenly laughed so hard that his cheeks turned red and he was so happy.
Qiu Zhenyang looked at them with a smile, knowing that everyone was working hard for the club: "That's enough. Anyway, everyone's training time is so short. No matter how you investigate, you can't find out the reason. You can just watch us win the game. .”
The members of the club responded one after another, obviously full of confidence.
The first round of competition was about to begin, and Qiu Zhenyang led his team to the game cabin in the competition area. All games are held at the same time, planned in different areas, and there are corresponding referee inspections and recording results.
Just before entering the game cabin again, Qiu Zhenyang asked Ling Mu, "How is it? Are you nervous for the first game?"
Ling Mu was obviously much calmer than he thought. Before entering the game cabin, he replied to Qiu Zhenyang: "Fortunately, I'm not nervous because you're here."
Upon hearing these words, Qiu Zhenyang was immediately filled with joy, a wanton smile appeared on his face, and he happily entered the game cabin.
Qiu Zhenyang's group was the fastest to finish the game. Almost half an hour later, they had already exited the game cabin. The referee recorded the results of the game, then checked everyone's game cabins again, and then went to the principal to report the results.
Interstellar Academy wins.
At this moment, Qiu Zhenyang had led the team members back to his rest area, and he met the principal's gaze in response. The latter gave him a thumbs up, with an appreciative smile on his face. Qiu Zhenyang raised his lips slightly and gave a "little meaning" look in return.
When they came out, everyone's competition had almost reached a fever pitch, and the next competition was particularly fierce. The competition of sixty teams can be seen on the big screen. Qiu Zhenyang and the others are all staring at the screen.
They don't know each other's strength, and now will be the best opportunity to observe and understand the level of others and their fighting patterns.
And soon, Qiu Zhenyang discovered several teams with great potential. Their level is very good. Although they are not as quick as Qiu Zhenyang and others in winning, they are already in the finishing process and will soon be able to approach the enemy mothership and wipe them out in one fell swoop.
After waiting for almost half an hour, the competitions of each group ended one after another, and the results were reported and summarized.
After the competitions of all groups were over, the principal announced the teams that advanced in this competition and the teams that entered the knockout rounds. The teams that have entered the knockout round will start playing at two o'clock this afternoon, while the players in the promotion round can rest all afternoon to prepare for tomorrow's game.
Because the game was broadcast live, almost all game-loving players in the interstellar were watching this game.
In fact, because Qiu Zhenyang himself did not understand the competition system very well, the way the competition was played was not very rigorous. But this is enough for the school league. The rest will be left to professionals to formulate in detail after the e-sports competition passes the above review.
During one afternoon's rest, Qiu Zhenyang and Ling Mu returned directly to the dormitory. Now there are many people in the school because of the competition, and there are also people who take this opportunity to come in to visit the Star Academy. It would be troublesome for the two of them to just come back.
It was almost time for dinner. Qiu Zhenyang first cooked some dishes and simmered them in a pot. Then he sat on the sofa and relaxed half-lying with Ling Mu.
Qiu Zhenyang originally thought that just one game would not affect him too much, but he overestimated himself. Although it was only his first game, he was so nervous that he had to take deep breaths to calm himself before entering the game cabin.
Thinking about it now, although he behaved quite normally during the game, there were many times when his mind suddenly went blank and he didn't know what he was going to do. Fortunately, Ling Mu was his adjutant and reminded Qiu Zhenyang from time to time, so that his condition did not continue to deteriorate.
"You were a little nervous during today's game." Even Ling Mu noticed it, opened and closed his resting eyes, and looked at him brightly.
Qiu Zhenyang was a little helpless: "This is probably competition syndrome? I was fine before, and I have never been nervous about competitions. But today, my whole body suddenly stiffened, and my heart beat faster before entering the game cabin. I can't figure it out either. .”
Qiu Zhenyang, who has always been strong and confident, had such a small problem, but Ling Mu thought it was acceptable. He even comforted him and said, "It's okay. I'm a little nervous too. This is normal."
"Are you nervous? I really didn't notice it at all."
Not to mention being nervous, Qiu Zhenyang didn't see any emotion on Ling Mu's face at all. Going to the game felt as normal as going to a meal!
Ling Mu shrugged noncommittally. He really didn't feel anything. After all, his technology had reached a certain level, and the content of the game was his favorite mecha battle. He only wanted to win, without any worries.
In fact, he is in the best state, able to move forward without any scruples and work straight towards the goal.
"Phew, don't worry, it won't affect the game." It's just nervousness, it's not a big problem. How many people can't be nervous during the game? Besides, maybe he was nervous not about the competition at all, but...
Pursing his lower lip, Qiu Zhenyang opened his terminal and secretly sent a message.
[Is everything ready? ]
After a moment, the other party replied.
[everything's ready! ]
The corners of Qiu Zhenyang's lips curled up, and he felt his heartbeat speed up again.
From the looks of it, what really made him nervous was something else.
After closing the terminal, Qiu Zhenyang coughed slightly, stood up and walked to the kitchen: "Okay, let's pack up and eat. Let's take a nap in the afternoon and then get up and watch their game. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be invincible in every battle..."
