The next afternoon, Pei Feng drove Master to the "Starry Sky E-sports Arena" in Chengdong District ahead of schedule.
Compared with the "Emperor E-sports Center", which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of spectators, the area of the Star E-sports venue is similar to that of the school gymnasium, which can only seat several thousand spectators. B-level leagues, as well as the annual college leagues, city leagues and other lesser-focused secondary events are usually held here.
Jiang Shaoyu and Pei Feng wore hats and masks, and the reception staff did not recognize them. Jiang Shaoyu took out the spectator card, and the staff checked it before releasing it.
The conditions here are much worse than the e-sports center, and there is no separate VIP viewing area in the background. There were only a few groups of relatives and friends in the auditorium who came to cheer, and 90% of the seats were empty, which could not be compared with the lively scene of the A League A.
Many players in the B-level league are small and transparent and have no fans at all. It is indeed difficult to sell tickets for the game.
Jiang Shaoyu thought about it and said, "Let's go to the auditorium."
Pei Feng followed Master to the front row of the auditorium, and the introductions of several teams playing today were playing on the big screen.
Jiang Shaoyu took out the tablet he carried with him, and opened the tournament schedule to check the team information. Pei Feng took a look and complained, "What a happy team, a dream family... I haven't heard of it at all."
Jiang Shaoyu said: "Many teams in the secondary league will be disbanded if they do not perform well. Those opponents we met in the secondary league back then are still on the field, right?"
Pei Feng said helplessly: "That's true. The teams formed spontaneously by the players have to pay for meals, accommodation, and daily training out of their own pockets. If they don't get good results, they won't be able to get investment, and if they don't have funds, they really won't last long."
He paused and said, "Furthermore, players who perform better in the secondary league may be scouted to major clubs. Once the core players are poached, the team will not be far away from disbanding."
The transportation, food and lodging during each game are a lot of expenses. Even if you meet the boss of the investment team, you can't get results or make money. Years of loss.
After the end of the secondary league every year, countless teams are disbanded. The legendary story of a grassroots team like ACE who made a bloody path from the secondary league, after all, cannot be replicated.
Thinking of this, Jiang Shaoyu said, "I'll discuss with the league in the future. In the future secondary leagues, the participation bonus will be set higher, and the teams that can reach the top 8 will be given a sum of money, so that the players can have more income. In addition, there is only one quota for promotion and promotion every year, which is too small. Starting from next year, the bottom three of the A-level league will all be entered into the undetermined area and compete with the top three of the B-level league for seats, which will also give the B-level league teams more opportunities more opportunities."
Pei Feng looked at Master's serious look, and couldn't help but admire him. Only Master has the courage to take risks and make drastic reforms.
The current gun king e-sports circle is too impetuous, attaches great importance to the "star effect", and ignores the healthy growth of the entire competitive environment.
Jiang Shaoyu's desire for a complete revolution did not happen overnight. This year, the "Rising Star Cup" will be held first, and the league system will be changed next year.
As long as the strength of the secondary league is raised, those teams in A-A will have a sense of crisis. From now on, every year, A-level teams will be wiped out, and powerful B-level teams will rise. If things go on like this, fresh blood will continue to rotate, and the atmosphere of the entire e-sports circle will also take a new look.
The game started soon, Jiang Shaoyu and Pei Feng sat in the audience and watched.
There were no bright spots in the two games today. Several teams were weak and even made some very low-level mistakes. Although there was nothing to gain after watching it, Jiang Shaoyu didn't think it was a waste of time. He wanted to watch a round of the secondary league without letting go of a fish that slipped through the net.
It's fast approaching the first week of April.
On the weekend, Jiang Shaoyu continued to call Pei Feng to watch the game together.
It was raining lightly today. When the two came to the game, they met an acquaintance in the background—A Yan, the commentator of the Nova Cup.
Jiang Shaoyu was wearing a mask, but Ayan recognized the two at a glance, and said in surprise, "Wing God and Fred?"
Pei Feng greeted with a smile: "Brother Yan, long time no see."
Ayan is also a veteran commentator in the e-sports circle, specializing in secondary events. He shook hands with Pei Feng excitedly, and said, "Why did you two suddenly visit the secondary league? Did you come here to find someone?"
Jiang Shaoyu said: "Just take a look. Can you give us a brief introduction to the team in today's game?"
As a long-term commentator of the secondary league, he must be more familiar with the situation of the players than Jiang Shaoyu.
When Ayan heard this, he immediately said: "The teams that will compete later are the two strongest teams in the B-level league. The Snow Leopard team is a team spontaneously formed by the players. It has been playing in the secondary league for two years, and the results It's always been good. The other VV team is a newly established team, and they haven't lost a game so far." He took the initiative to hand Jiang Shaoyu the information in his hand: "God Wing, look, this is the information of the players of the two teams."
Jiang Shaoyu took it over and looked it over carefully. He found that the captain of the Snow Leopard team was a Beta girl named Qin Xueyao. The competition ID was "XB-Snow", who just turned 18 this year.
E-sports competitions require very fast hand speed and reaction speed. Alpha players have an inherent advantage in this regard, so there are more Alpha players in e-sports competitions, and Beta girls are relatively rare.
Judging from the photos, Qin Xueyao is a very gentle looking girl.
Seeing that Master was reading the documents, Pei Feng turned around and asked Ayan, "This Snow Qin Xueyao, how's the record?"
A Yan said: "Her record is quite mediocre, and her personal score is not high. The Snow Leopard team has already played the first four weeks of competition, and Qin Xueyao has not won a single head in four games, but their team's snipers have an outstanding record. Currently ranked second in the individual player rankings."
Jiang Shaoyu continued to read the data of other players, and then handed the data back to A Yan: "Thanks, let's go to the auditorium."
Ayan wondered: "You came to watch the game, didn't you tell the competition committee? Why is no one entertaining you?"
Jiang Shaoyu is also the head coach of the national team, and coming to the secondary league is equivalent to a "leader's inspection". No matter what, someone should accompany the reception and serve tea and water. As a result, the master and the apprentice just walked in like this, lounging in the background by themselves, and there was no one around to receive them...
Jiang Shaoyu said: "Don't bother them, I just came to see the performance of the players."
Pei Feng said with a smile, "Brother Yan, go get busy, just treat us as ordinary spectators, there is no need to alarm the organizing committee."
A Yan knew that the two wanted to keep a low profile and watch the game, so he turned and left.
Jiang Shaoyu and Pei Feng came to the front row of the auditorium and sat down. The game started soon. The duel between Snow Leopard and VV was very small. The audience was sparsely filled with applause.
At the commentary booth, Xiaohu and Ayan began to introduce the players from both sides: "Friends from the audience, welcome to the first round of the regular season of the Gun King B-Class League, the fifth week of the game!"
"The two teams that are going to compete today are the Snow Leopards and VV, which are currently the top two teams in the standings!"
"Snow Leopards, friends who follow the B-level league should be familiar with them. They are regulars in the B-level league. They won the runner-up last year, and this year is also a complete victory! A complete victory!"
"Yes, the two teams are tied for points, this matchup will definitely be exciting."
"The game is about to start. We saw that the Snow Leopards got the first move. What map will they choose?"
"Blood mode I guess? That's what they're good at..."
"Sure enough! They chose the bloody battle mode, and the map is Guanghua Middle School with four-star difficulty!"
"This map of Guanghua Middle School is common to all three modes. In the blasting mode, the two blasting points are in the teaching building and the playground. There are no blasting points in the bloody battle mode. There are two resurrection points on the map, which are also in the teaching building and the playground!"
Offstage, Jiang Shaoyu saw this picture and asked Pei Feng in a low voice, "How would you play this picture?"
Pei Feng thought for a while and said: "The air corridor in this picture is a very good sniper spot, and you can see the field of vision on both sides of the teaching building and the playground at the same time. If it was me, I should bring medical care and grab the air first. The sniper position in the corridor, let the investigator go to the teaching building to find someone, kill a few front rows, establish a numerical advantage as soon as possible, and win a small round."
Jiang Shaoyu nodded: "Well, a good strategy."
The "air corridor" in this picture is a battleground for military strategists. At the beginning of the game, the snipers of the Snow Leopard team and the VV team rushed to the corridor. As a result, the snipers of the VV team had just arrived at the edge of the corridor. Bullets go through the air—
boom!
[XB-Wind] used [AWM-Meteor] to kill [VV-MINI] with a headshot!
This shot was caught off guard, and the sniper on the opposite side died at the start. The medical care wanted to rescue him. As a result, the Snow Leopard's sniper moved quickly and shot through his bulletproof light plate twice in a row. A headshot killed the medical care.
Very straightforward double kill!
At the same time, the front row of the VV team and the front row of the Snow Leopard team exchanged fire fiercely in the teaching building, forming a 2V2 stalemate. VV's reconnaissance went around the air corridor from the other side, trying to sneak up on the opponent's sniper, but before he could get close to the opponent, he was shot in the head by the sniper.
In the first round, there is no doubt that the Snow Leopard team quickly won.
VV was a little stunned. After the second round of resurrection, they abandoned the teaching building with complicated terrain, and all went around the woods on the other side of the playground, intending to grab the sniper point in the air corridor.
It's a pity that this wave of 5-person sprints did not go well. The snipers of the Snow Leopard team somehow discovered the location of the medical hiding place, and the first shot was second to the medical on the opposite side.
The snow leopard's charge and assault quickly circled the back, echoing back and forth with the sniper teammates, and formed a "dumpling" formation to suppress the remaining 4 people of VV.
VV faced the front and back double teams, and couldn't solve the opposite snipers, and in a blink of an eye, another wave was destroyed.
In the commentary seat, the two looked at each other.
Ayan said: "VV played a big below standard today... No, it should be said that the Snow Leopard team played very well today!"
Xiaohu said: "Maybe this is the difference in game experience? Although the current results of the two teams are similar, the Snow Leopard team has played in the secondary league for two whole years and has very rich experience in the game. After all, VV is a newcomer. They have only played four games so far, and although they have a good record, they have never encountered a strong enemy!"
A Yan nodded in agreement: "Yes, when you meet a strong team, their shortcomings will be exposed. There should be some problems in the communication of their players. There is no tacit cooperation with the competition strategy of the air corridor, and the formation is beaten. messed up."
Jiang Shaoyu stared at the big screen intently.
After the start of the third round, the 5 members of the VV team rushed into the teaching building quickly. They changed their strategy. Instead of going to the playground, they directly attacked the teaching building and wanted to fight from the left wing.
At this time, the Snow Leopard team suddenly disappeared from the map. The five of them searched for a long time in the teaching building and did not encounter an enemy. Instead, they saw a sniper in the air corridor shooting two bullets from a distance. Narrowly escaped.
The VV sniper seized the opportunity, hid at the corner of the second floor, stretched out the gun from the window, and shot the opponent with a backhand!
The teammates shouted excitedly: "Nice!"
The strongest on the opposite side is the sniper. Once the sniper dies, they will fight.
However, as soon as the idea came to mind, a deafening gunshot suddenly sounded behind them—
bang bang bang!
Submachine|gun and assault rifle|gun's serial strafing, instantly swept away the three people in VV. Immediately after, the snipers in the air corridor were revived by medical treatment, and they turned back and shot them in the front row.
Bloody battle mode, 3:0, the Snow Leopard team won.
The MVP of this game was Snow Leopard's sniper [XB-Wind], with 6 kills -1 death.
Jiang Shaoyu looked at the data panel thoughtfully.
Qin Xueyao of the Snow Leopard team has a record of 0-0-0 and has no sense of existence.
At the commentary booth, the two commentators began to praise the snipers: "Wind of the Snow Leopard team really performed well, and the marksmanship is very accurate!"
"Yes, let's congratulate the Snow Leopard team for winning the first game."
"In the second game back to the VV team's home, what mode will they choose? Take a break and come back soon."
Jiang Shaoyu looked at Pei Feng: "Have you found anything?"
Pei Feng said: "Snow Leopard's reconnaissance did not show up from beginning to end. The record was 0-0-0, but I think the key to winning or losing this game is not the snipers, but the reconnaissance."
Jiang Shaoyu raised the corners of his mouth in relief: "That's right. Most people don't understand this tactic, unless you carefully review the game after the game to find out the clues, and it's no wonder that the commentators think that snipers are better. In fact, the Snow Leopard team has a A very powerful reconnaissance commander - she gave her teammates a God-perspective and saw all the movements of her opponents through her quick and silent movements."
The 0-0-0 reconnaissance looks like a fish in the water, but only her teammates know about it...
She is the team's second pair of eyes.
