In addition to admiring Xu Yiyang, the students at China Overseas College also envied Xu Yiyang's roommate.
What a blessing it is to be in the same dormitory with a great god like Xu Yiyang
It must be a great feeling to be led by a master to make money, right
Many people feel envious and jealous just thinking about it.
In addition to envy, the boys were also attracted by the generous prize money in this CS team competition.
First of all, this thing is very interesting.
It is a game competition, and this game is still very popular among college students.
Secondly, registration for this competition does not cost a penny.
In other words, you can randomly find a few classmates and form a team to participate in the competition. Not only can you experience the feeling of playing the game once for free, but you can even play the game multiple times without spending a penny. You also have the opportunity to win bonuses. Who wouldn’t want such a good thing? Give it a try
Apart from anything else, even if you go up and get eliminated, at least you can play a round with other teams for free.
So, this night, the boys from China Overseas Chinese and Overseas began to look for people to form a team. They just wanted to quickly form the team, give a name, and then sign up as soon as possible after registration starts at noon tomorrow.
Since they only had one day of class on the weekend, Gu Sijia and Tong Yuewei went home after class in the afternoon. Tong Yuewei only found out that her dream lover Xu Yiyang actually opened an Internet cafe and had sex with her when she received a text message from the girl she slept with. A CS team.
After learning about this, he immediately called Gu Sijia and said that he wanted to go there together to have a look. He also said that he wanted to top up his membership card to support Xu Yiyang's business.
Gu Sijia stopped her and said, "Don't be crazy. You can access the Internet at home, so why go to an Internet cafe to apply for a card?"
"Because it's Xu Yiyang's Internet cafe!" Tong Yuewei said seriously: "Not only do I have to apply for a card there, I also want to form a CS team to participate in Xu Yiyang's Internet cafe competition!"
Gu Sijia felt like her head was as big as a bucket: "Are you crazy, and you still want to participate in a game competition? Didn't you say you want to be a lady?"
"Ladies can also play games!" Tong Yuewei said: "I'm very good at CS. If I have teammates with similar abilities, I might be able to get a ranking!"
Gu Sijia asked helplessly: "Then where are you going to find your teammates?"
Tong Yuewei said: "It's okay. I'll wait for them to sign up first. If there is a team in our school that signs up, I will find them to join. Anyway, every team has a substitute. I can be a substitute first and wait until they see my strength. , maybe you can let me be the main force."
"Okay..." Gu Sijia said: "If you want to join the team, just wait until someone signs up tomorrow. But you are not allowed to go to the Internet cafe tonight. It is too late."
Tong Yuewei asked: "Do you have time during the day tomorrow? Let's go over and have a look? If you don't have time, I will go by myself."
Gu Sijia had no choice but to agree: "Okay, I'll call you tomorrow."
The next day, dozens of male and female students from China Overseas College went to different universities early in the morning with a large number of flyers.
Universities these days generally have looser control. As long as they look like students and just sneak in, it won't be a big problem.
So in the morning, posters for the New Century Internet Café CS team competition had spread throughout the Zhonghai University campus.
This unprecedented CS game caused a stir among the entire Zhonghai college student community.
There are no registration fees, no venue fees, and generous bonuses. It has attracted a large number of college students who like CS.
Nowadays, CS is in an explosive stage, and there are people playing CS everywhere, but serious CS competitions have never been heard of, so this moment has aroused everyone's enthusiasm.
When they think of forming a team to compete, they will not only have the opportunity to make money, but also have the opportunity to represent the school and win honors, and even impress their classmates and girls, these boys' adrenaline immediately started to surge.
As a result, a large number of temporarily formed teams signed up through QQ that day.
Zhao Xin and Chen Meng logged into QQ on time at 12 noon, and there were already a lot of messages about adding friends.
They add and count the registered team information one by one, and they communicate with each other. If they find that a school is full of registrations, neither of them will accept registrations from that school.
Within half an hour, more than a dozen colleges and universities were full, and there were very few places left.
After all, although each school can only accept a maximum of three teams, there are only a maximum of 64 teams in the entire competition. If the team registration is full, then even if the college only has one team, no more registrations can be made.
Xu Yiyang is still thinking about the few students from Tongji he met before the Internet cafe opened.
The young man named Guo Peng was the first to decide to form a team to participate in this competition.
So Xu Yiyang contacted him specifically and reserved a spot for him.
Guo Peng, who had just seen the promotion in the school and was about to sign up, was very excited when he received a call from Xu Yiyang. After thanking him, he told him the name of his team: "Tongji All-Star Team"
In less than an hour, all sixty-four teams were filled.
These sixty-four teams come from twenty-six different universities.
Among them, China Overseas Chinese University, Tongji University, Jiaotong University, Fudan University, East China Normal University, and East China University of Science and Technology are all three teams.
In fact, the number of teams registered by these schools far exceeds this number.
Take East China University of Technology, which has the highest proportion of boys. In their school alone, more than 60 teams have signed up.
Of course, it is estimated that 90% of the more than 60 teams were put together temporarily for the sake of bonuses, but this can also be seen from the influence of this game among college students.
Everyone consulted New Century Internet Cafe about the competition through QQ, and many enthusiastic students even made a special trip to New Century Internet Cafe to find out.
Many people were extremely disappointed when they heard that the registration had been filled up quickly. They did not expect that this matter would spread so quickly, and that everyone would respond with such enthusiasm. It was only a little slow, and it was already full. .
So everyone hurriedly asked when the next game would start.
By the end of the day on Saturday, there were more than 500 teams that wanted to sign up.
Xu Yiyang realized that this CS team game had become very popular among the college students in Zhonghai and had become a super hot item now.
It has attracted a lot of attention in university circles, and attention equals traffic.
Xu Yiyang suddenly felt that he needed a website.
Moreover, a website with forum function is needed.
On the one hand, the home page of the website can display promotional materials for the entire competition, as well as registration status and battle arrangements;
On the other hand, the forum on the website can also attract players from all over the world who like CS, making it an interest forum for college students to communicate.
In this way, if you hold any activities in the future, you don’t need to hire people to distribute flyers in the school. You can just publish them directly on the official website and forum.
So, Xu Yiyang immediately decided to ask Liu Mingchao to help him make one.
He registered the domain name, and then called Liu Mingchao and asked him if he had any ready-made website and forum codes.
Liu Mingchao has been playing BBS since he was still in school, so he has several sets of BBS forum templates in his hands. When they were still in school, they had a campus forum. Later, when they started their business, in addition to developing software, they also We also set up a forum specifically for technical staff to discuss issues and share code.
However, because I didn’t understand operations, neither of these two forums took off.
However, the code is readily available.
Xu Yiyang hurriedly asked them to build a simple website and a BBS forum for himself, and then resolved it to the two newly purchased domain names.
The forum's columns are initially divided into several sections by Xu Yiyang:
CS team competition communication area; CS technology sharing area; CS team recruitment area; chatting area, cheerleading area, and friendship area.
The first three are naturally closely related to the game, but the last three are not limited to CS games. You can chat in the chat area, express your support for your favorite team in the cheerleading area, and make friends in the friendship area.
In addition to the nickname, the user also has a "title". Xu Yiyang asked Liu Mingchao and others to customize it, and then left everyone to enter their own school here.
In this way, this is not only a forum for CS teams to communicate, but also a good place for CSCU students to make friends.
The forum was set up very quickly. I just deployed the code here, then slightly changed the columns and the name, and basically it is ready to go online.
And because it is a mature code with no bugs, it can be put into use immediately after deployment, and it does not take a day in total.
As for the website, it is even simpler, but the problem is that Xu Yiyang has to do the content that the website displays.
So Xu Yiyang posted the introduction of the Internet cafe, as well as the CS competition poster materials, competition rules, competition rewards and other contents.
Then, Xu Yiyang worked out the first-round battle list based on the order of registration of the sixty-four teams and the head-to-tail combinations.
After finishing, he made a chart with the first-round lineup and the specific time of each game, and put it on the website.
Zhao Xin and Chen Meng hurriedly used QQ to notify the teams that had successfully registered, asking them to always pay attention to the official website, find their own game venue and time, and go to the Internet cafe on time to participate. The late team will be deemed to have given up, and the other team will directly advance to the next round without competing. .
At the same time, they also notified the hundreds of teams that failed to register, asking them to keep an eye on the New Century Forum, because registration for the second competition may start at any time.
After this operation, the forum had its first wave of users as soon as it went online.
As people come and traffic comes, chatting will naturally start in the forum.
Not only do everyone discuss matters related to the competition here, but some teams that have successfully registered are recruiting team members in the recruitment area.
for example:
The Tornado Boys team of Jiaotong University is recruiting a sniper, and they are required to be skilled in using the B46;
Zhonghai University's cool team is recruiting a player who is good at shooting with AK;
Just half a day after the forum went online, the number of registered members exceeded 10,000.
There are hundreds of thousands of college students in Zhonghai. They all say that universities are like ivory towers. In fact, this metaphor is very appropriate.
A university is a relatively closed circle. Insiders don't pay much attention to outside news, so it's not easy to get in; outsiders don't pay much attention to inside news, so it's not easy to get out.
Although each school currently has its own BBS, there is really no cross-university BBS that can connect all Zhonghai University students.
New Century Forum became the first.
