It was soon dawn, and the guests in the Internet cafe got off the plane one after another and left. All night long, Wu Zewen was already sleepy, and his eyelids were fighting all the time. Li Xiang glanced at him and said, "Zewen, why don't we Go offline first and go back to sleep?"
Liu Chuan happened to be typing on the team channel: "It's almost time to rest."
Wu Zewen immediately nodded and said, "Okay."
The three checked out and got off the plane one after another, then went back to the dormitory and fell asleep.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the pre-match preparation meeting for the tenth season of the Wulin Official Professional League was finally held in the imperial capital. The senior leaders of the league and the captains and vice-captains of the 16 teams attended the meeting. At the meeting, the precautions for the game were read out, the player manual and the schedule of the season were issued.
This year happens to be the fifth year and the tenth season since Wulin launched a regular professional league. Because it is a very memorable year, the professional league has also spent a lot of effort to reform the competition system, and the most important thing is the change of the broadcast mechanism of the competition.
In the past, the official Wulin professional leagues were broadcast live on the online platform, and players did not need to be on the camera. What the audience saw was the sharp actions of people like Haina Baichuan, Ye Shi, and Master Sansi on the big screen, but they didn’t know who the people behind these IDs were. In this way, only die-hard fans will remember the real names of the players, and most people only remember the ID when watching the game.
This year, the broadcast mechanism has been comprehensively reformed, live TV and online platforms are broadcast simultaneously, and at the same time, the first-view commentary videos of all players have been added, which can be said to be in line with international large-scale events.
Before the game, the host will introduce each contestant in turn. All the contestants' photos, personal information, the number of kills during the game, the number of deaths, the team's contribution, etc. These data will also be publicly displayed in front of the audience.
Such a broadcast mode will allow all professional players to enter the audience's sight openly and aboveboard, which can also be regarded as a kind of recognition for e-sports players.
Especially family members and friends, seeing familiar people appear on the TV screen, the degree of recognition is definitely much higher than watching the game on the Internet.
In addition to the reform of the broadcasting method, the league also spent a lot of money to renovate the venues of several main stadiums. The player's soundproof room is well done.
The opening ceremony of the tenth season will be held in Beijing next Saturday night. There will be two opening games on the opening day. The first game is last season's champion team "Chang'an" against this season's new private team "Snow". "Wolf Team", the second game is "Fenghuo Team" against "National Color Team".
After the pre-match meeting, media reporters were arranged to conduct short-term interviews with the captains of the major teams. The press conference was surrounded by reporters.
As the captain of the Chang'an team, Yang Jian is naturally very popular with reporters.
A female reporter asked, "Team Yang, the opening ceremony is a match between Team Chang'an and Team Xuelang. What will you do to prepare for this?"
Yang Jian smiled and said: "Chang'an is a veteran team and won the championship again last season. I think everyone knows what the result of the opening ceremony will be. However, although we are playing against a new team, we I will do my best and hope to give you a great game.”
After Yang Jian became the captain, he spoke with great momentum, and he was already comfortable with various media interviews. The young captain's strong self-confidence was loved and admired by many fans of the Chang'an team, but Qin Ye did not agree with his words at all.
Although the Snow Wolf team is a new team, the result is really uncertain!
Because the Snow Wolf team is a very mysterious team, it just advanced from the National Urban Heroes Tournament to the Professional League at the beginning of this year.
For the renewal and alternation of the blood of the alliance, the professional league has a regulation that for four large-scale competitions each year, including the professional league spring competition, autumn competition, T, G, A summer Grand Prix, and Winter Grand Prix, all registered teams must participate in each event. The competition has corresponding points. After the end of the year, the alliance will conduct a year-end inventory, issue various awards for this year, and rank the points of all teams at the same time. The top three teams will receive the annual star team award, and the bottom two will be awarded. Only the team was eliminated.
The two eliminated teams can participate in the next year's qualifying competition. The opponent is the champion and runner-up of the National Urban Hero Competition. The eliminated two professional teams and the champion and runner-up of the city competition draw lots to fight against each other, and fight for the next year's professional league again. 's admission ticket.
This elimination system is a rule that exists in many competitive events. It gives private teams a chance to advance to the league, and at the same time, it also makes officially registered professional teams have to work hard and strive to be higher. If you are not careful, you will be eliminated.
The Urban Hero Contest is also the only way for private teams to advance to the official professional league.
Team Snow Wolf can knock out the professional team and successfully advance to the professional league. It is definitely not the kind of rookie team that Yang Jian said. Although the level of the city competition is much worse than the professional league, there are still many outstanding talents. . What is even more worrying is that the Snow Wolf team is from the folk, and all the players are folk masters, and everyone knows almost nothing about these people.
This team was formed from the private sector to participate in the city competition, all the way to the national finals to win the championship, eliminated the professional team, and successfully advanced to the professional league, its strength is obviously not to be underestimated.
This kind of new team, because the captains don't know them well, often breaks out in the first round of the league by surprise.
The first opener can be said to be the touchstone of the new team. Although the new team broke the unpopularity and beat the champion team to the ground, it has not happened yet, but it has to be guarded against. Yang Jian's reckless style, maybe he will capsize in the gutter.
Yang Jian was talking too much, and Qin Ye really had a very bad premonition.
***
After the team interview was over, there was a dinner organized by the alliance.
There will be no media reporters at the banquet. There are 32 captain-level figures from 16 teams, several well-known official commentators, and high-level executives such as the chairman of the alliance. Several tables are set up in the hotel lobby. Everyone has dinner and communicates freely.
There are no restrictions on this kind of free dinner seats, and everyone is looking for acquaintances to sit together.
Qin Ye saw Lu Xiang and walked towards him.
Lu Xiang was eating peanuts one by one, and the expression on his face looked very happy. Next to him sat a handsome man with a cold face, occasionally passing him a plate of snacks.
- Shao Zehang, captain of the Bronze Sparrow team.
This man is the famous iceberg of the Alliance, and his words are like gold, and the expression on his face is always cold. He is a half-breed, with a quarter of European ancestry, deep facial features, light eyes and hair color, likes to wear trousers and shirts, neat and meticulous. This person is too cold, and people who are not familiar with him rarely dare to talk to him, and even the members of the Tongjae team rarely dare to make jokes in front of him.
Xiao Sijing is polite and personable on the surface, and then looks at you with sharp eyes, letting you retreat.
Shao Zehang was unsmiling, as long as his face was cold, his eyes like an ice sword would be enough to scare many people.
The captains of these two strong teams are notoriously difficult to mess with, giving countless reporters a splitting headache.
In contrast, Liu Chuan is the most cordial, smiling all day long, and speaking well in every interview...
It's just that most of what Liu Chuan said was fooling people, and he couldn't believe a word...
As the captain of the Bronze Sparrow, Shao Zehang is naturally very popular, and is known as the first Ming sect in the league. He played Mingjiao, a dual-blade style, and was good at close-up control around his back. His personality was calm to the point of abnormality. During the game, the sharp and cold blade light made countless opponents tremble with fear. There is a strange tacit understanding between the hot and cold captain and vice-captain of the Bronze Sparrow team. Shao Zehang and Lu Xiang have never quarreled, which is really rare.
Lu Xiang raised his head and saw Qin Ye, and immediately greeted him with a smile: "Qin Ye, come and sit down! It's been a long time since I saw you? You don't look so good, you won't lose sleep again, right?" The two little tiger teeth always give people the feeling of a little child...
Qin Ye walked to Lu Xiang's side and sat down, saying, "I did have insomnia last night."
Lu Xiang asked with concern: "Have you suffered from migraine again? Do you want to see a doctor?"
Qin Ye shook his head: "It's an old problem, it's not good for a while."
Shao Zehang looked at Qin Ye and nodded as a greeting, "Long time no see."
Qin Ye asked casually, "When did Team Shao return to China?"
Shao Zehang said, "Last night."
The conversation ended here, Qin Ye and this iceberg really didn't have a common language.
Lu Xiang said next to him: "Team Shao has been in Europe for more than a month this time and has gone to many places. I will also travel in the next offseason. Will it be difficult to get a visa? I really want to go. A trip to Europe."
Qin Ye was speechless: "You got it, Daluzhi, you can get lost like that in Beijing, and even go abroad... You can't come back when you travel."
Lu Xiang scratched his head and smiled: "Follow the group, you will definitely not get lost if you have a tour guide!"
The two were chatting, and two acquaintances came over, unexpectedly Xiao Sijing and Su Shilun from Team Seven Star Grass.
Lu Xiang greeted excitedly: "Old Xiao, Lun Shen, come, come and sit!"
Xiao Sijing and Su Shilun came over and sat down, Qin Ye asked, "Aren't you at the table next to you just now?"
Su Shilun leaned over and whispered in Qin Ye's ear, "Your Yang team and the captain of this year's newly promoted Snow Wolf team are talking about the mountains. I really can't stand it anymore..."
Qin Ye looked at Xiao Sijing, who nodded as a greeting.
A few minutes later, the captains of Luohuaci, Huaxia, and Shengtang also came to this table and sat down.
Several captains looked at each other, knowing that they did not speak.
These teams are all old and strong teams, and the captains are also mostly players of the same period, and they are familiar with each other. Although Yang Jian won a championship, according to his seniority, he is a descendant of these people. He is too young, very impetuous, and the generation gap is serious, and he can't talk together at all.
At the next table, Yang Jian patted the new captain on the shoulder and said with a smile: "There are so many teams participating in the city competition, it is not easy for you to play all the way, right? The professional league schedule is quite closely arranged, unlike the city competition. There are also weekly and monthly competitions. Once the professional league officially starts, it will be a match every two or three days, and Beijing and Shanghai will be flying everywhere.”
The new captain said: "Yes, the professional league is much higher than the city competition, and the competition system is more professional. I will ask Team Yang to take care of it in the future."
"That's natural." Yang Jian patted the new captain boldly on the shoulder, "By the way, let me introduce you to the captains of the major teams. You are new here, and you may not be familiar with many people, right?"
The new captain smiled and said, "Thank you, Team Yang, I just want to get to know the senior captains."
Yang Jian took the new captain to introduce all the people at that table, and then walked to this table.
Both of them were holding glasses of red wine, and Yang Jian began to introduce them clockwise: "This is Team Xiao and Deputy Su of Team Seven Star Grass. Team Shao and Deputy Team Lu of Team Tongque. Team Ye and Deputy Team Lin of Team Luohuaci. Team. Team Liang of Team Huaxia, Vice Team Xie, Team Tang, Vice Team Chen of Prosperous Tang Team... and Vice Team Qin of our Changan Team. This table is all the top gods of the league. Say hello to the seniors. "
The new captain smiled and raised his glass: "Hello, seniors, I am Fang Zhiyan, the captain of the new Snow Wolf team this year. I have long admired the seniors. First, I would like to give you a toast, and please take care of me in the future."
The young man was wearing a snow-white shirt, neatly dressed, his Mandarin was very standard, and he smiled gracefully.
Fang Zhiyan drank it all in one go, and the captains also took a sip of the wine glass to save face, "It's easy to talk."
After the two were far away, Xiao Sijing said, "Snow Wolf Team, I haven't heard of it before, what do you guys think?"
Shao Zehang has always been concise, and said coldly: "This Fang Zhiyan is not simple."
Lu Xiang scratched his head and said: "I heard from friends that this team has passed all the way in the National Urban Heroes Tournament, and entered the finals with a complete victory record. The specific play method is not clear. The people on the scene know that.”
Xiao Sijing thought thoughtfully: "Maybe it's another dark horse."
Su Shilun smiled and looked at Qin Ye: "When they fight Chang'an, everyone will know the details. For the first opener, come on, Qin Ye."
Qin Ye felt a little helpless.
This group of bad-hearted guys must be waiting to see the jokes of the Changan team.
This year's pre-match meeting always felt that something was missing. After a closer look, I realized that it was obvious that a very cheap Liu Chuan was missing, and the atmosphere was a little different.
In the previous meeting, Liu Chuan turned on the mocking mode with a smile, and all the hatred of the captains was pulled away by him. This year, Liu Chuan, the main T, was gone, and the Changan team became the target of everyone's attention.
Hey, only then did I find out that Liu Chuan's bitch is also good!
Liu Chuan, who was lying in bed with no heart and no lungs to sleep, kept his eyelids twitching.
Why do you feel like you are being cursed by so many people
It's weird to be chased by a group of people in my dream...
