"This hotel is really luxurious!" Fang Rui opened the door and pushed his luggage aside.
He and Zhang Jiale were assigned a room, Wang Jiexi and Xiao Shiqin were assigned a room, and the two girls were assigned a room. The rest were assigned according to their respective teams, and Tang Hao was assigned a room alone.
"Hurry up and pack up. After packing, check how far it is from the competition venue and familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment." Zhang Jiale put away the two people's luggage.
Everyone who had slept all the way on the plane was naturally not sleepy. There were still two days until the official start, so it was important to seize the time to familiarize yourself with the surrounding environment.
The two simply packed up and went out to join the other members.
Ye Xiu and Bai Mo were chatting with the two of them outside the door. Fang Rui was happy when he saw it: "Old Li, Xiao Pan, you are actually here too?"
"Well! We are China's on-site commentators for this World Invitational Tournament!" Pan Lin looked a little excited: "We have been here for two days!"
Although Li Yibo looked calm and calm, as if he was used to big scenes, Fang Rui could tell at a glance that this guy was pretending: "Old Li, you have to explain it carefully this time. You have done all the work before.
without?"
Li Yibo rolled his eyes angrily.
Not only them, reporters from major e-sports magazines in China also came to Zurich. After all, it was a carnival for Glory, and reporters from major teams were also sent out.
Chang Xian, whom Fang Rui was familiar with, and reporters who had previously accompanied the team from the Whistling Team also came to this hotel and asked familiar professional players about the training situation.
However, Huang Shaotian and Zhou Zekai were left aside in the cold, and the reporters rarely asked them questions.
Even Bai Mo, who often doesn't talk to people during interviews, is surrounded by a large circle of people. There is no way, everyone is still very curious about what the logistics manager has done during this period of time.
However, everyone is old-fashioned, and they just fooled around by doing Tai Chi and the like. The real content of the training will definitely not be revealed at all.
"It's almost done everyone, we are officially notified that we will go to the competition venue shortly. Let's go to the competition venue first to familiarize ourselves with the environment." Ye Xiu clapped his hands. The reporters were very considerate. After all, this time the national team is managed by the General Administration of Sports.
If anything goes wrong, your job may not be saved.
"Don't tell me, Brother Ye, you really have some qualifications to be a leader." Bai Mo teased: "Then are you going to work in the e-sports team of the General Administration of Sports or are you going to find a job in the Glory Professional League Association?"
"It's good to be a commentator. From now on, you can brag about the people below who you have beaten." Guo Mingyu smiled and poked Ye Xiu.
"Okay, you guys, you would be embarrassed if you were eliminated from such a big battle." Ye Xiu said with a smile.
"Hopefully, you..."
The organizer was very thoughtful in preparing the hotel. The hotel was not very far from the venue. It was about two or three streets away. The group of people successfully entered the venue with their player IDs. The staff accompanied them throughout the entire process. It didn’t take long.
You are probably familiar with the lounge and the like.
Following the position of the player passage, we quickly arrived at the official competition venue. The area closest to the stage was the divisions of each national team. The national flags of each country had been hoisted, and each division had independent competition seats.
"It's not much different from domestic competition venues." Yu Wenzhou smiled.
Xiao Shiqin observed carefully: "In the end, there were still sixteen national teams, and no new countries participated."
"The sofa is quite soft..."
"I've seen the competition room too, it's very comfortable." Bai Mo walked out with a smile.
"Hey, Bai! You guys are here too!" An excited voice came over, and Bai Mo turned around to look, it was that guy Andvari.
It’s not too surprising. Officials have already informed that the national teams of each country need to familiarize themselves with the venue environment in advance in the past two days to avoid the mistake of going to the wrong zone or not being able to find a place before the game.
The members of the National Team of the National Team did not immediately come over to get to know the people here. After checking the equipment, Odin took them and said hello.
"ID Odin, captain of the National Team of the Rotten Kingdom." Odin smiled and stretched out his hand.
Yu Wenzhou stepped forward and shook Odin's hand with a smile: "Soksar, captain of the Chinese national team, nice to meet you."
Because there is a translator, there is no obstacle to simple communication. During the competition server, everyone met each other frequently. After reporting their character IDs, they were able to get the right number very quickly.
"It's not as hard to reach as you thought." Tang Hao muttered.
Just as the two teams were chatting happily, national teams from other countries also arrived one after another, and the originally slightly empty competition venue became more popular.
"That one over there is the captain of the national team of the Bald Eagle family. Despite his young age, his ID is very arrogant. He is directly named [God], an exorcist. However, he is also strong enough and ranks first in the competition server ladder.
That stupid big guy over there, that one who looks like a bear, is the captain of the Russian Federation national team, Sventovet, who Mimir brought over to fight with him before." Andvari whispered to him.
Bai Mo introduced: "The green-haired girl over there is the captain of the French national team and the only female national team captain. She is a sharpshooter and has ID Dumas..."
"Can you wipe your saliva?" Bai Mo frowned and said with some disgust.
"Ahem, that's sloppy." Andvari wiped the corner of his mouth casually: "They are all tough, and their strength should not be underestimated."
After other national team members saw their own venues, many people took the initiative to come out and talk to other national team members. Some of them were looking for IDs who were familiar with them in the competition uniforms, while others were
It is to test the tactics of other national teams.
Of course, the majority are still the former. Who can be selected to participate in the World of Glory Invitational Tournament?
Bai Mo sat idle and looked at the players around him, guessing their personality traits and playing habits. This was also his favorite pastime, but it didn't take long for this comfortable feeling to be broken.
A girl with short red hair, a slightly curly hairstyle, and a heroic appearance came over: "From the Chinese team?"
"Huh? Um...is there something wrong?" Bai Mo asked with a smile.
The red-haired girl smiled, her teeth as sharp as shark's teeth: "Which official member of your national team is Connor?"
"...The official team member, the one with a little belly, dark circles under his eyes, and always seems to have a low energy level, yes, that's right, that's him." Bai Mo nodded.
"Thank you!" Shen Hongyi nodded and walked straight towards Ye Xiu.
Okay, now hurry up and prepare to escape.
Bai Mo turned around and wanted to leave.
"Hello!"
Bai Mo stiffened and turned to look. Shen Hongyi rushed over and grabbed him by the collar: "Dishonest man, you are Connor!"
Damn, Brother Ye is so dishonest! Bai Mo cursed in his heart, but when he turned around, his face was already innocent: "Huh? Miss, you have to be clear, before you asked which of the official team members was
Connor, right?"
"That's right." Shen Hongyi nodded.
"That's right, look at this..." Bai Mo picked up the work pass on his chest: "Look... logistics, informal substitute member admission pass, do you understand?"
"Are you playing word games with me?" Shen Hongyi asked with a smile.
"Just telling the truth." Bai Mo shrugged.
Shen Hongyi nodded: "I will tear you apart on the field."
Bai Mo smiled and held up his certificate again: "Logistics staff, thank you."
"Which one is Mr. Professor?" As soon as Shen Hongyi left, another smiling Asian man came over, but his appearance was slightly more feminine.
Captain of the Korean national team, ID smile, professional assassin.
"That one over there is..." Ye Xiu pointed to the back.
Smile walked straight to Bai Mo and took the initiative to extend his hand: "Some idiots used some unspeakable methods before. I solemnly apologize to Mr. Professor. For us professional players, everything is not as good as solving it in the arena. I
I think Mr. Professor will not refuse..."
"Well, can you understand Chinese characters?" Bai Mo scratched his head.
Smiling for a moment, he originally just wanted to get to know the professor who had so many magical powers that he forced Korean professional players to work for the Chinese national team for two weeks, but he never expected that the other person would suddenly say this: "For now, I still know a few...
What's wrong?"
"Come on, look at these two words... Logistics, I'm a logistics staff member. If you want to go to the group of people over there in the afternoon, is it okay?" Bai Mo sighed helplessly, doing whatever he wanted.
The smile also left...
"Xiao Bai, you seem to be quite popular. Otherwise, you can take the place of Sun Xiang before the official competition!" Huang Shaotian encouraged.
"Why don't I take your place?"
"Well, that's a good question, because our captain is the captain of the Chinese team..."
"What the hell..."
Everyone started laughing again, and a burst of noise from the microphone attracted everyone's attention. All the members of the national team returned to their positions on the national team and sat with their teammates.
On both sides of the Chinese team are the Neon National Team and the Korean National Team, which both belong to the Asian Professional Division, while the Fuguo National Team is in a more opposite position.
A virtual figure appeared in the center of the stage and began to speak. However, due to the influence of other equipment, everyone else temporarily turned off the translator, and the translator in the team stepped forward to explain.
"Xiao Bai, what did that old man say?" Fang Rui couldn't help but ask: "This doesn't even include subtitles..."
"This is not an ordinary old man. He is the president of the World E-Sports Association. He probably means to welcome us to the first World of Glory Invitational Tournament. He hopes that each team will be first in friendship and second in competition... hmm?" Bai Mo frowned slightly.
He frowned.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xiu also turned to look over.
"Nothing. He said that the official competition will be held on July 17th. A national carnival will be held at that time, and a lottery ceremony will begin... It seems that the previous competition system has also changed." Bai Mo looked at Yu Wenzhou: "Team Yu
,Has this lottery ceremony been mentioned in previous events?”
"No." Yu Wenzhou shook his head affirmatively.
Carnival?…
The old gentleman on the stage left, and the official representative of Honor Company came on stage again. The official said a lot about the scene, but none of it was related to the event.
However, at the end, a huge golden trophy appeared in the center of the stage, and the eyes of all professional players reflected not only the luxurious trophy but also the shining championship ring on it.
"The target is that..." Zhang Jiale said, his voice was very soft, as if he was completely immersed in it. The others probably had the same look, with Tang Hao, Xiao Shiqin, Chu Yunxiu and Guo Mingyu having the worst expressions.
Obsessed, after all, they have never picked up the trophy that symbolizes the championship.
The appearance of the trophy completely ignited the atmosphere of all professional players. The purpose of more than 230 people present was to bring the trophy back to their country.
The simple pre-match meeting ended, and everyone walked towards the hotel in silence. Even the most active national team players did not invite professional players from other national teams to have fun.
Temporary meeting room
Ye Xiu took the main seat. The other professional players looked more or less absent-minded. Bai Mo also kept pointing his fingers at the table, thoughtfully.
"Xiao Bai, what do you think about this lottery ceremony?" Ye Xiu asked.
"Huh? Me?" Bai Mo came back to his senses: "If I'm just speculating, there is one... The drawing ceremony mentioned by the president is probably not just a simple drawing of lots, it may be a new one used to distribute groups.
A way to compete.”
"What do you think it will be?" Xiao Shiqin said.
"A melee, or a battle royale type, where teams are eliminated one by one and then divided into groups according to ranking." Bai Mo said.
Battle Royale... Thinking of the game of chicken a few days ago, everyone probably had an idea.
Zhang Xinjie pushed up his glasses: "What's the reason?"
"His wording is carnival and grand. The strongest players from each country are engaged in a melee. The commentators from each country only need to follow their own national team players to explain. It is entertaining enough and will not cause confusion...it also allows opponents to have a basic understanding of each other.
If it were me, I would choose this mode for grouping." Bai Mo said with a smile: "Of course, it's just a personal suggestion."
Although there are competition uniforms, there are still many people who are hiding and not using their full strength, not to mention that the weapons they use have been updated.
If the official intention is really this, then it can indeed be called fair.
Everyone else agreed with Bai Mo's idea, which was basically the best.
"If this is really the case, the approximate number of people in each team should be six, a total of ninety-six people..." Ye Xiu touched his chin: "Old Yu, what do you think?"
"Zhou Zekai, Sun Xiang, Tang Hao, Fang Rui, Zhang Jiale, plus me, that's enough." Yu Wenzhou said with a smile.
There are three tactical masters and a professor in the audience, and Yu Wenzhou controls the overall situation on the stage.
