Chapter 499 The match begins!
When they arrived at the gate of the arena, the few people couldn't help but be surprised. At this moment, because the door was still open, but the audience who booked tickets online in advance had already lined up a 100-meter line in front of the door...
Looking at the scene, the four of them had no longer nervousness on their faces, but instead were a little excited, "Hey, hey, Qi Ling, you said Xiao Ruo is here, that means our game will be broadcast live on TV? Do you think my mother will see me? I want to perform well!" Chen Ling said excitedly.
"I never thought! I, Huang Yuxin, also played in the Thousand People Stadium! Hahaha! I will be very proud of myself if I say it out in the future!" Huang Yuxin also laughed.
Only Guo Kai and Wang Yanbin stood shoulder to shoulder and said disdainfully: "Tsk, what's this kind of small scene? We are men who want to become world champions!"
As soon as he finished speaking, five people from a team of players who were obviously participants passed by them. After hearing Guo Kai and Wang Yanbin's words, they gave the two a blank look at each other, "Idiot!"
After saying that, the two of them smiled awkwardly.
Seeing the relaxed state of the few people, Qi Ling also smiled. It is not conducive to performance if the game is too tense. If they can maintain their current state until the game, it would be the best.
Nodded slightly, Qi Ling smiled and said, "Go in."
After saying that, he led four people into the right side of the 100-meter-long team, a gate marked "Competer's Passage".
Not long after walking along a red carpet, I saw a huge double-open wooden door in front of me. After opening the door, I walked in. There was a loud noise in front of me. Then even Qi Ling couldn't help but sigh: "This scene is really big..."
Looking around, the entire arena was arranged in the indoor basketball hall of the Olympic Sports Center. This basketball court is enough to accommodate thousands of people to watch the game at the same time. The basketball court is divided into a square from the middle. There are ten computers placed on the four sides of the square, each of which is a group of five computers, with a distance of nearly twenty meters from the left and right, which just allows the eight team players to compete at the same time.
A temporary curtain wall with various naming signs was erected behind each group of computers, which could just block the contestants and the screen. This was a necessary means to prevent cheating from spy on the contestants' screens through various means during the competition.
In front of each computer, there were several uniformed staff members debugging the machine, and there were also various staff members walking around.
Directly above the basketball court are four giant screens surrounding it, which are usually used to broadcast basketball games, but now they have been officially changed to live broadcast of this League of Legends game. The four screens correspond to four simultaneous games.
At this moment, the debugging screen is constantly playing on the screen, and the screen facing the gate is repeatedly scrolling the notification information. At this time, Qi Ling looked up and saw a notification scrolling on the screen: "Please go to the lottery area in front of the arena before 8:30 to wait for the lottery. Teams that fail to time out will be deemed to be automatically given up."
Seeing this message, Qi Ling turned to look at the four people who were looking around and said, "Let's go to the lottery area first."
As he said that, Qi Ling walked along the edge of the basketball court towards the other end of the basketball court. The reason why Qi Ling was so sure was that when he came in, he found that many seemingly participating teams were gathering there.
After a while, Qi Ling and the others came to the signature area.
The so-called signature area is to separate the second half of the basketball court from an area. This area is evenly divided into small areas with white tape, with the names of each school on it. Qi Ling followed the passage to find the area of his school.
Since the lottery time is approaching, most of the teams have arrived here. Qi Ling is looking for his school location. When passing by a participating team, the conversation of several people has penetrated into his ears.
"Hey? Do you know who Wancheng Middle School sent this time?" One person lowered his voice.
Several people shook their heads.
"Jiang Hao!" the man gritted his teeth.
"Jiang Hao? Which Jiang Hao?"
"Who else is Jiang Hao? He is the biggest dark horse who stopped in the quarterfinals last time in the Internet League!"
Suddenly, a sound of air sucking sounded around...
"I'm a grass? Are you teasing me? He's here to participate in the competition? Didn't he play professionally? If he's fine, he's here to participate in any competition? Come and abuse food?" Everyone said with a terrifying look on his face.
"Who knows, but it's him. I saw him there just now." As he said that, he quietly pointed in a certain direction.
Everyone followed the direction he pointed and saw a figure in a black leather jacket sitting on the ground chatting with a girl in the next team who looked like a manager.
"My grass! It's really him! He can beat us alone!"
"Hey, who doesn't say it? I want to abstain..." One person sighed and continued: "I hope we won't draw the lottery with him, at least let us show our face a few more times."
Hearing the words of a few people, Qi Ling looked in the direction of the man's finger. In the northeast corner of the area, Jiang Hao, wearing a black leather jacket and a non-mainstream rural hairstyle, was talking excitedly with an obese girl next to him.
Although I couldn't hear what they were talking about, Qi Ling could guess just based on the expression on Jiang Hao's face, and couldn't help but sigh, "It's really a heavy taste..."
After saying that, he led the four people straight into that direction...
Jiang Hao, who was already having a high chat, suddenly found several figures walking towards him. He looked up and stood up, pointed at Qi Ling and cursed: "You are you! Do you dare to come?"
Looking at Jiang Hao who was jumping, Qi Ling shrugged and said, "Do you think I want to come?" He said and pointed to the four words "Wancheng Middle School" under Jiang Hao's feet.
Jiang Hao looked down and pointed at Qi Ling and cursed: "This is where you can come? Get out of here, don't be embarrassed here!"
Seeing Jiang Hao so unreasonable, Guo Kai and others who were about to have an attack were stopped by Qi Ling because a figure was found in the corner of his eyes walking towards them.
Qi Ling stood there, with her hands wrapped around her chest and looked at Jiang Hao with a smile on her face and said, "What? Can pigs come? Why can't I come?" As soon as these words came out, Guo Kai and the others burst into laughter.
Jiang Hao also remembered Qi Ling's humiliation words when he was outside, and immediately raised his fist and rushed towards Qi Ling, "Are you so bad? If I don't let you lie down today, I won't be Jiang!"
Just as Jiang Hao rushed out, a staff member in a uniform walked over quickly. Seeing Jiang Hao's actions, the staff member yelled and shouted: "Insults and fights are strictly prohibited during the game, otherwise the qualification for this competition will be directly disqualified. The first team of Wancheng Middle School will warn you once!" As he said that, he took out a red notebook and recorded something on it.
Looking at the staff who suddenly appeared, Jiang Hao was stunned. Before he had an attack, he was inexplicably warned and remembered it in the small notebook, which made Jiang Hao unable to vomit even if he vomited blood. Even the four people behind him looked at him with a sad look.
After the staff left, Jiang Hao lowered his fists angrily, stared at Qi Ling and squeezed out a few words from his teeth, "You have a habit!" After saying that, he sat down on the spot, just looking for the fat girl just now to continue the preface, but when he turned around, the fat girl had been scared by Jiang Hao's fierce appearance just now and didn't know where to hide.
Qi Ling shrugged, spared Jiang Hao, and came to the rear of the area.
Seeing the various school teams standing in the area one after another, Guo Kai and his friends were filled with excitement, and Chen Ling even saw a few figures he knew in the team.
Chen Ling turned his head and whispered to the people: "I see there is no one over there. I know the one who is from fifty. I don't know the one who plays mid laner, but the one who is very powerful. And the one who is from ninth middle school, the jungler seems to be only Bronze 1, how can he come to the competition?"
Hearing Chen Ling's words, Qi Ling turned around and smiled and said, "The lions still need to fight against rabbits. The people you see today may not be the same as before. After all, how many of them are real rookies who can come here are, just like you, can you compare with you a week ago and now?"
Hearing Qi Ling's words, the few people nodded with conscience.
Yes, they were still a glorious bronze goalkeeper a week ago, but now? Although they didn't play in the rankings, they knew that they were completely different from before, so after listening to Qi Ling's words, they no longer looked down on him. Instead, they looked at each team with serious expressions.
Looking at the appearance of the few people, Qi Ling nodded with a smile.
After a while, the staff member appeared in front of the area. At this time, he had no small notebook in his hand, but was holding a big speaker, and shouting at the various teams in the lottery area with the speaker.
"Now, the draw of lots is started, and the team that has not arrived is considered giving up!"
"Each team, just send a representative up. The team you draw is the first team of your team. After the draw, you will be automatically divided into four groups of abcd and implement the Bo1 round-robin competition. You will play a game with each team in your group. After the round-robin competition, the two teams with the highest points in each group will enter the quarterfinals. Okay! Now draw lots." After that, the staff put down the speaker and walked to the side of a square red lottery box.
At this time, each team sent a representative to draw lots, and of course he was the one who went to draw the lottery on Qi Ling.
Looking at the teams in front of them, some people were happy and some were worried, and one of them looked desolate after seeing their lottery results...
Because Qi Ling clearly heard him sigh heavily, "It's so unlucky, it's Jiang Hao!" After saying that, he returned to his team dejectedly, and the other four people in their team also looked desperate.
On the other hand, Jiang Hao didn't care about the result of the lottery, because in his opinion, all teams were cannon fodder, and he was chatting with a cleaning lady behind the team with a relaxed look on his face.
Finally, it was Qi Ling's turn. Before the draw, Qi Ling turned around and gave the four people a look of peace of mind, then walked to the draw box and reached in.
After fumbled casually for a while, Qi Ling picked up the ball closest to him and pulled his hand out of the box.
After handing the ball to the staff, the staff opened the lottery ball, with a few small words written in it, "Fifty-fifty, first team. D group second game."
Looking at these words, Qi Ling nodded slightly, said "thank you" to the staff, and then returned to the team.
After learning the lottery results, the other four people looked relaxed, because this team was the team that Chen Ling mentioned before, which was not good at the mid laner.
After learning the lottery results, the team also looked at Qi Ling with disdain, because the person obviously knew Chen Ling, so naturally he knew Chen Ling's former level. After seeing his team being drawn, he said something in their captain's ear. After hearing this, their captain looked disdainful. When he looked at Qi Ling, he also made a move to wipe his neck.
This made Chen Ling very angry. Qi Ling turned his head and gave him a look of peace of mind, and responded to a smile on the other side.
Looking at Qi Ling's smile, the people opposite him said to himself: "What's going on with this person? Could it be that he was scared by us?"
Soon, the draws were all over, and each team left the draw area and came to the edge of the basketball court, where stools and rest areas were arranged for the representative teams of each school.
The eight teams came directly to the competitive area to debug the machine and were ready to prepare for the first show of the competition!
At the same time, the audience passage was officially opened, and countless people entered the competition venue with excitement along the passage...
Chapter completed!
