"Yes, yes, the final time is 4 days later."
"Okay, no problem."
"Well, I will send you the specific game area game location before tonight."
"It won't be troublesome, it's our honor for you to come—"
After hanging up the phone, the expression on Du Yu's face, who was polite and polite, suddenly became ugly.
"Old Du, who called?" Li Minghe frowned and asked, "You are the bastards of Zhongli again? Then you don't have to be so polite with others, right?"
"Yeah," the knife who was also in the activity room, sorting out the list of the Youth Cup to enter the semi-finals, also interjected: "Didn't they already call and ask for the specific time last time? Why did they call again today? Deliberately?"
"Not a reasonable person." Du Yu shook his head while rubbing his aching temples with his hands.
"Not them?" Li Minghe was surprised: "Who else can it be? Are there other people who are coming to watch our finals?"
Du Yu sighed for a long time, looking at the knife and Li Minghe who were looking at him with searching eyes, and slowly gave the answer:
"It's from the Zhonghai branch of StarTV."
"what?"
As soon as this statement came out, both Xiaodao and Li Minghe were in a daze.
StarTV is the largest game media company in China. Its full name is StarTV Game Sports Channel. It is a pan-mass media in the game industry. It is aimed at all game lovers, including online games, TV games, stand-alone games, e-sports, and other content. .
At present, StarTV’s main game project is currently the most popular and globally popular "League of Legends. Holographic Real Edition".
In the domestic League of Legends circle, StarTV's reputation is also well known. It is responsible for the live broadcast, broadcast and commentary of various domestic and foreign professional leagues. It is also the organizer of the League of Legends college leagues in various regions.
In addition, many popular and well-known commentators such as "Luoyang", "Drunken Bat", and the beauty commentator "Peach" who used to be responsible for the live broadcast of the All-Star game, are all under StarTV.
For example, some game video programs produced under the name of StarTV, not to mention, are mostly familiar to League of Legends players.
"StarTV?"
Then Li Minghe was the first to react with an unbelievable expression: "This is also a youth cup held to recruit new talents. This level of competition won't make StarTV people call and care? And our publicity. I didn’t go outside of school, how did the people at StarTV know—"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly paused. Li Minghe finally reacted: "Damn, I didn't come to see our Youth Cup finals, but to see the exchange match between Zhongli and us!?"
At this time, Xiaodao also suddenly said: "This news was released to StarTV by Zhongli?"
Seeing that both of them had recollected, Du Yu smiled bitterly and nodded: "That’s it. People from Zhongli E-Sports took the initiative to find StarTV and told them that Zhongli team will have an exchange match with our Zhongcai team. I hope People from StarTV can send a few people over to give guidance and serve as commentators by the way."
"But even if it is an exchange match between two college teams, it is not enough to attract StarTV's attention..." Li Minghe mumbled: "It's almost the same if it is a practice match between two professional teams—"
"It is estimated that it has something to do with the end of this season," Xiaodao analyzed: "Now the world finals are also over, and this season is about to end in about a week. Recently, domestic professional teams have begun to rest and adjust. There will be nothing in the near future. For more heavyweight events, StarTV estimates that it just happened to be idle recently."
Du Yu nodded: "That should be the case. Otherwise, the exchange game between us and Zhongli will not be caught in the eyes of game media like StarTV."
"Those bastards in Zhongli, they must have calculated all of this early in the morning," Li Minghe gritted his teeth and said: "First, we will pick up the challenge in our Youth Cup finals, and then invite people from StarTV to be guest commentators. It is clear that we want In front of everyone, our e-sports club's face was smashed."
"This time the reasonable people are indeed deliberate. They dug all the pits, just waiting for us to jump in—" Du Yu rubbed his painful temple again, and said: "I just thought about it again just now. It is estimated that on the day of the finals, it is not only our school’s classmates and StarTV people who will come to watch the game. Zhongli will probably also publicize the exchange game in his school. At that time, Zhongli will definitely have a lot of people. Many people came over to watch the game."
"Damn, there must be thousands of people watching the battle, right?"
When Li Ming made a rough calculation, he couldn't help being dumbfounded: "In front of so many people, if we lose, we will lose face..."
"You must not lose!" The knife swore like a curse.
Du Yu sighed: "This is actually people putting psychological pressure on us, but this hand is really beautiful. You know it's a pit, but you can't do it without jumping."
"Otherwise, Old Du, still consider hiring the'Brits'?" Li Minghe once again mentioned his idea a few days ago.
This time, Du Yu hesitated.
After all, this matter has now been made big by the Zhongli people, and the consequences of losing the game are far beyond his previous expectations.
If the'Brits' is recruited into the team, although the means is not fair enough, compared to losing the game directly...
There was a battle between heaven and humans in his heart, and in the end Du Yu gritted his teeth and shook his head: "No, the rules are still rules. Although the people in the family play hand yin, they actually did not violate the rules of the game; and if we were like this Do it, that's a total cheating."
"Don't think about that'Brits' or ask other foreign aids. We will play this game by ourselves."
"Since Liang Jian has made a move, let's follow along!"
…
Regardless of how entangled and determined the hearts of everyone on the China Finance E-sports Club, anyway, Britz has been enjoying collecting energy points these days.
On the second day after the end of the third round of the Youth Cup, the match and battle continued as usual, and another 21 energy points were earned.
The next day, the fourth round of the semi-finals began. The'we are the champion' team played against the'Guangmingding' team, winning out of five innings.
In the first game, Britz was in the mid laner as usual, and he was superb in 17 minutes.
In the second game, Big Insect went wild and walked around the opposite side of Zhabeng, making hundreds of classmates who were watching the game couldn't help exclaiming, "This guy can even play wild like this."
In the third game, robot assisted, the opponent chose to surrender in 23 minutes.
3 to 0, advance to the final.
At this point, the'we are the champion' team is tantamount to winning all the way without a single defeat.
A handful of hands high-five to celebrate, and they were excited for their team's brilliant record of reaching the finals from the troupe of the army.
On the other hand, Britz was secretly calculating the energy point gain for this day by himself.
The victory of the three games brought 60 energy points to the heart of Varoran.
Aside from joy, Britz couldn't help but regret why this semi-final had three wins in five rounds. If it were four wins in seven rounds, six wins in ten rounds, and 51 wins in 100 rounds... it would be even better.
Regrettably, but seeing that the energy data of the Heart of Valoran has grown to 1682/1000000, Britz is already looking forward to the next coming awakening of the heroic spirits.
Only...18...energy points.
On the second day after the semifinals, Britz also struggled for a whole day in the arena.
When the morning sun fell on the small town of the Proving Grounds, as another match battle was won, Britz, who retreated from the battle room to the hall of the arena, felt the vibration and tremor of Valoran's heart in his chest. .
Without hesitation, he chose to go offline and return to the chaotic space inside the Heart of Valoran. With the soft and cordial female voice in his ears, the fifth heroic awakening began.
