The next morning, everyone got up on time and went to the 3rd floor for breakfast. Even Qin Ye, who did not have to participate in the competition, came down early. Xiaoyu fell asleep early last night because he was too excited. He had big dark circles under his eyes. He seemed to be in good spirits.
Liu Chuan reached out and rubbed Yu Xiangyang's head, and said, "Isn't that true? This is the first game of the city competition, and you are so excited that you can't sleep?"
Yu Xiangyang said depressedly: "I've never played a game! It's normal to be excited! I was so excited last night that I couldn't sleep..."
Liu Chuan said with a smile: "It's okay, don't think too much. In the first few weeks of the city game, you won't usually be matched with a team that is too strong. You can just play according to your usual style of play."
Except for Liu Chuan. Lan Weiran and Qin Ye, the three great gods, were quite calm, but the other newcomers were actually a little nervous. After all, it was their first time to participate in such a large-scale event, and it was normal to be nervous. According to official statistics in May, there were more than 12,000 registered teams for the National City Tournament, which were divided into four divisions. There were also over 3,000 teams in the South China division. It sounds extremely difficult to get the top two qualifying places in the team. As long as they lose a game, they will be put into the lower bracket, and if they lose another game, they will be eliminated directly. Therefore, no matter what kind of team they face, they must be careful.
After breakfast, Liu Chuan took his teammates to the arena.
The competition venue in Changsha City is located at the original registration point "Tianzhiyu Internet Club". In order to prepare for this competition, the Internet cafe has been closed for this period of time, and all three floors have been emptied. It is the rest area for players, and the third floor is the competition area. The chief referee of the game is also a professional referee assigned by the official, trying to ensure the fairness of the game.
Because there are too many teams in the city competition, the schedule is quite tight. The registered teams are divided according to their geographical locations. The teams registered from the entire Hunan Province compete in the Changsha sub-competition area. The competition in June is divided into the first three rounds of the weekly competition and the fourth round of the monthly competition. In each round of the weekly competition, half of the teams will be placed in the lower bracket. At the end of the month, in the monthly competition (resurrection competition), the losers will be defeated. The matchup will be held again within the team, half of the teams will be re-matched, and the other half will be eliminated directly.
The cycle of weekly and monthly competitions will resume in July, and the competition will still be played according to such rules. The competition will not be completed until the end of September in Changsha. The competition point of each provincial capital city will select two teams to enter the four major competition areas. During the National Day holiday, it is the finals of the four major regions of East China, West China, North China and South China. Two teams from each competition region will be selected to enter the national finals for the final showdown.
If you want to get tickets for the national finals, you must go all the way and win more than 20 games.
After Liu Chuan and the others arrived, they saw a lot of people gathered on the first floor of the Internet cafe. Many of them had badges around their necks with the team's name written on them. Obviously, they were all team members who came to participate in the competition today. Liu Chuan first went to the sign-in office to report, and the person in charge of the reception gave him eight badges with the words "Longyin Team Members" written on them. The badges were very beautifully made. The front was a group photo of the characters of the eight martial arts schools. Below was a row of "Wulin Officials". "City Hero Contest · Changsha Division", with "Dragon Yin Team" written in black characters on a white background on the north side.
The reception girl smiled and said, "This badge has to be put away, and it will not be issued next time. The team members must wear it to enter the stadium."
Liu Chuan said thank you, turned around and distributed the badges to a few teammates to hang around their necks. The number of applicants for the Longyin City Tournament was eight, and there was no Qin Ye for the time being. Qin Ye's share.
Li Xiang couldn't help but said, "This badge is given according to the number of people? Can't I also give Qin Ye another one?"
Qin Ye glanced at him and said, "I don't have to play, what do I want it to do?"
Li Xiang scratched his head and said with a smile, "It's a souvenir."
Qin Ye said, "I prefer to use the championship trophy as a souvenir."
"..." Li Xiang gave him a thumbs up with a look of admiration.
Qin Ye smiled and said, "Okay, go upstairs, I'll wait for you below."
Because there is no player badge, Qin Ye can't enter the rest area of the players on the second floor. He can only wait in the auditorium reserved for the "relatives and friends cheering group" on the first floor. Fortunately, there is a big screen here, and the live broadcast will be broadcast on the third floor later. During the match, Qin Ye found a seat with a better view and sat down, preparing to watch the live broadcast for a while.
Liu Chuan and several others went upstairs together and waited for arrangements in the rest area of the players on the second floor.
There is a large bulletin board in the lobby on the second floor, which reads today's game schedule. There are many teams to compete today. Liu Chuan and the others arranged the third game this morning. The opponent is a "Happy Family". team. There are various styles of team names on the bulletin board. The Longyin team is mixed among them, and it looks nothing special. Only the boys in charge of the reception on the second floor know that the Longyin team is the strongest dark horse in the Changsha Division.
When Liu Chuan saw him, he nodded and said hello. The receptionist immediately came over and said, "What do you want to drink, Team Chuan? I'll pour it for you. There are coffee, milk tea and various drinks over there, all of which are from the organizing committee. which provided."
Liu Chuan smiled and said, "Don't bother."
Although Liu Chuan said there was no need to bother, the boy was very attentive and poured eight cups of refreshing hot coffee over. Instead, Liu Chuan became embarrassed and said, "Thank you."
The boy lifted the back of his head and said, "Come on, Team Sichuan!"
After he left, Lan Weiran held the hot coffee and sighed while drinking: "It's good to have fans..."
Liu Chuan leaned over and said, "If you hadn't been lazy and turned the four blues into one blue, there must be a lot of Luohuaci fans here."
Lan Weiran smiled and said, "Forget it, all the fans of Luo Huaci like Ye Chenxi, and few people know me."
Silan's words are true. After all, he retired too early. Luo Huaci has made rapid progress under the leadership of Ye Chenxi in recent years. Most of the people who like Luo Huaci now like the young and promising Ye team. Captain Silan, many people are not familiar with it, everyone only knows that Team Ye's master is the founder of Luo Huaci, that's all.
Hearing what he said, Liu Chuan couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder and comforted: "Although the back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, it's true that Xiaoye is stronger than you. However, you are not very old, so don't be discouraged."
"..." Lan Weiran almost spit out the coffee and gave Liu Chuan a blank look, "You better stop comforting me."
Liu Chuan smiled and continued to drink coffee with his head down.
In this type of audition-style weekly competition, various situations emerge one after another. Liu Chuan and the others were waiting in the rest area of the players. When they saw a team with no competition, they came down from the third floor. Liu Chuan didn't know the situation, so he walked over and asked. He glanced at the boy in charge of reception, "Do you know what's going on?"
The boy came over and explained: "I heard that some of their opponents abstained because of illness, so they directly advanced to the next round."
Liu Chuan was a little surprised, but it is not surprising that he directly abstained from the opponent in a large-scale event.
The second game that followed was not interesting. Liu Chuan watched the live broadcast on the big screen and found that both sides were full of loopholes and played in a mess...
At 9:30 in the morning, it was the third game, Longyin Team VS Happy Family.
The moment this line of characters was typed on the big screen, the cheering group on the first floor burst into a burst of warm applause, and someone shouted, "Come on, Happy Family!"
"Come on! Destroy the dragon!"
"Kill them!"
"This Longyin team is definitely not our opponent!"
"Of course, our guild is one of the best guilds in the four telecom districts. Where did Longyin come from? I've never heard of it!"
"… "
There were quite a lot of people around to cheer. This team was obviously formed within a local guild. The people who came to cheer seemed to be all students, probably classmates from nearby colleges and universities, and they were very familiar with each other.
Qin Ye sat calmly in the middle of the Happy Family's cheering group, listening to the voices of "kill the dragon" and "torture the dragon" in his ears, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise slightly, thinking: "The Happy Family" right ? I'm afraid it will become an "unhappy family" soon.
Want to kill Liu Chuan? You really think too much.
