Zhu Quehuang, who had never been out of Beijing since he was a child, only took a breath of air and started screaming when his feet hit the ground.
"Oh oh oh oh oh! It smells so super clean!"
"Isn't it a shame?" Ye Qiu hit Zhu Quehuang on the head with his fist to calm him down.
"But it's really clean! The sky! The sky is really blue! And there are white clouds! White clouds! I don't know how many times I can see them in a year! White clouds!"
"That's enough! It's so embarrassing!" Ye Qiu and Bai Hu gave Zhu Quehuang his first double blow.
So Zhu Quehuang could only touch the bulging back of his head and squat on the ground, screaming that it hurt.
The NF team members also got out of the car, but they looked like they had been to Shanghai many times, and they calmly dragged their boxes to the exit.
"Let's go, let's follow." Xu Yunlong waved his hand and asked everyone to follow the team. "There are people waiting outside the venue. Let's go to the hotel to settle down first."
"There is still someone to pick up." Zhu Quehuang's eyes widened.
"Do you think you ran there by yourself?" Ye Qiu said funnyly, "What age are you in? You are not low."
"What are you doing? Follow me!" Not seeing Zhu Quehuang and Ye Qiu following him, Xu Yunlong shook his arm in front and shouted loudly.
After passing the exit, you can see the staff wearing suits standing in front of a bus with the G League logo printed on it without even looking.
It was obvious that they all knew each other. When Xu Yunlong and Xiao Qingyue appeared, one of them, a handsome young man, walked up. He stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "I saw you two again this year."
"Yeah. I didn't expect you to come to pick us up this year." As the team manager and team leader, Xiao Qingyue stepped forward and shook hands with the little brother.
"Please get in the car first. If you have anything to say, we can talk on the way." The younger brother opened the car door and made a gesture of invitation, allowing OK and his group to get in the car.
However, before a few people got on the bus, I heard the voice of a passerby coming from nowhere: "God B!! It's God B!!! And more!!"
They were probably the players who came to pick up the train. They were originally on NF's side. As soon as NF's car left, I turned around and saw the bright OK team uniform, so I called out.
"Get in the car quickly!" Xiao Qingyue pushed Xu Yunlong directly into the car.
The other four people looked puzzled. Shouldn't this be the time to give benefits to fans?
"Sister, shouldn't you sign autographs for our dear fans?" Qi Lin flipped up his curly hair and said narcissistically.
"Okay. If someone asks you to sign, just sign, and then take a taxi to the hotel." Xiao Qingyue said calmly, and Xuanwu pushed him into the car, then called for Zhu Quehuang and Ye Qiu to follow them quickly.
"If you take a taxi, just take a taxi yourself." Qi Lin said that it was nothing at all. The receptionist smiled and handed him the manual, then got on the bus and told the driver to drive.
Qi Lin turned around, having prepared his expressions and lines, facing the large crowd that was already running towards him, and cleared his throat.
"Ah, dear fans, please don't crowd, one by one..." However, before he could finish his words, he was blocked back.
"Hey! Are you a staff member of OK? Where is God B?!"
“Please give God B’s signature!!!”
"I want Poseidon's signature!"
"Eh? You and Lin look a bit alike."
"Where is God B? Where is God B?"
"Kneel down and beg God B for his signature!"
"God b, I want to give you a child!!"
Qi Lin still kept smiling, but he could no longer hold back his face.
The bus behind him had already started, and it was too late for him to get on.
However, fans surrounded him and asked about Xu Yunlong's condition.
"Um, don't you know me?" Qi Lin felt that he had received more than a little blow.
"Okay newcomer?"
"Okay, is there a new person again?"
"No. I didn't see it posted on their Weibo."
"It can't really be Lin..."
Qi Lin suddenly became excited when he heard someone say this. After all, he only posted messages on Facebook and Twitter after returning to China, and had not yet opened Weibo, so he couldn't blame these fans.
"That's right! I just..."
"How is that possible? They just look a bit alike." Another person muttered carefully, "How can Lin be so short?"
Snap, Qi Lin felt something was broken in his heart.
"Yes, he looks quite tall in the photo."
Snap, snap, snap, Qi Lin was about to cry without tears.
"I'm really Lin!!!!!!!"
Yangtian roared loudly, and Qi Lin was speechless and choked.
On the other side, in the car, the receptionist had already begun to explain various aspects of the competition to the group.
"Your competition starts on July 5th. Before that, you can go to the venue to watch the group matches of each group. It has now started. On July 5th, the group finals of each group will start at 2 p.m.
Tournament format bo3. The winner stays in the field. 8pm
"Yes, we have a live lottery event, so we also invite the manager or team leader." After saying this, the little brother gestured to Xiao Qingyue, and Xiao Qingyue nodded, "Before the fifth, the list of people who will be on stage for the lottery and the solo participation will be announced.
and team competition roster.”
"Isn't this a single-defeat cycle this year?" Xu Yunlong frowned.
"That's right and not." The little brother explained with a smile: "Because you are a seeded team, you can enter directly. Because there are so many teams participating this year, we have modified the competition system. The top three in each group will advance to the finals.
In the Bo2 round-robin competition where the seeded teams compete for the top eight qualifying spots, points are still the basis. The first place in each group can advance. So even the seeded teams are under great pressure this year."
"Well, I want to ask a question!" Zhu Quehuang raised his hand.
"Okay, excuse me." The little brother smiled and nodded.
"Why bo2? I've never heard of a bo2 game."
"This is a unique competition rule of our G League." The little brother blurted out without thinking as if he knew Zhu Quehuang would ask this question. "Because we take into account the mood of each team and each player, so
We have set up a competition system like bo2, which means there is a draw. For example
Example. For example, there are four teams competing for the championship. If the competition format is bo2, there will be points. A team will get two points if it wins both games, and it will get no points if it loses both games.
If there is a tie, each team will get one point. In this way, if all four teams are tied, they will enter a single defeat of bo1.
But if it is not a tie, for example, a team draws with two other teams, but wins 2:0 against the third team, then it has accumulated 4 points. And the team that lost to it, if it played against the other two teams
If both teams are tied, they will get two points, and if the other two teams are also tied, they will each get three points.
In this way, the team with 4 points will directly advance. The advantage of the bo2 format is to save time and save the physical exertion of the team members. If there is a bo3, if the first two sentences are a long game, by the third game, it will be considered a win.
, it will also consume a lot of energy. You won’t be able to perform well the next day, right?”
"...Well..." Zhu Quehuang felt that his head was a little dizzy. He was good at processing numbers, but it was a bit difficult for him to sort out the effective information based on such a large paragraph of language narrative.
"To put it simply, the bo2 format effectively saves time and energy, and there is no chance of not playing seriously in the first game and then moving back to the last two games."
"Oh." Zhu Quehuang finally understood this time.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" The little brother looked inside the car. No one raised their hands, so he continued. "When the list is finalized, unless there are special circumstances, the members on the list will not be included during the competition.
Changes are allowed. Please understand this, because we have to take care of teams with few substitutes."
"Is he talking about us?" Ye Qiu whispered.
"The subsequent competition system is no different from before. The eight teams in the knockout round will be in a Bo2 round-robin. The top four teams will advance to the semi-finals. The semi-finals will be a Bo3 round-robin, and the top two teams in points will advance to the finals. This time we have added a finals format. These are the first few teams.
There is nothing in the tournament. As for why, it is not convenient to disclose directly, but it can be considered that it is what the sponsor requested. The final is a bo5. That’s pretty much it,”
"I always feel that there is no passion in this competition system." Zhu Quehuang blinked.
"You will know whether there is passion or not by then." Xu Yunlong took a puff of cigarette and spit it out heavily, "Is it still the same rules this year?"
"Yes." The little brother nodded.
"Old rules?" Zhu Quehuang, Baihu, who had never participated in a competition, and even Xuanwu, who had been away from the professional circle for a long time, didn't quite understand.
"At the beginning of the semi-finals, remove the glass room." Ye Qiu explained, "The contestants sit face to face and can taunt each other."
"Eh?" Bai Hu was stunned, "It will affect concentration."
"Yes, it's very influential." Xu Yunlong said calmly, "If you haven't played in offline games, do you think you have played professionally? Only when you confront your opponents head-on can you really play heart-pounding games."
Bai Hu pushed up his glasses and frowned, "I don't like offline competitions. The noise gives me a headache."
"Then let Qi Lin play. Anyway, that kid probably likes offline games the most." Xu Yunlong had no scruples at all. This is the advantage of having a substitute, and the substitute can be used at any time.
After being silent for a while, Bai Hu said seriously: "I will try my best to adapt."
Xu Yunlong smiled and said nothing more.
Half an hour later, the group arrived at the Ibis Hotel.
Because the competition venue is at Luwan Stadium, the price is reasonable and it’s not too far away.
"Wow..." Looking at his room, Zhu Quehuang's eyes almost popped out, "It's so beautiful!!"
"...Is this enough?" Ye Qiu, who was in the same room as Zhu Quehuang, looked at him with disdain and put his bag next to the bed. "You know, if you go to TI, you will stay in a better hotel.
Well. If you win the championship, you can get an extended Lincoln shuttle and champagne the next year."
Zhu Quehuang almost drooled when he heard it. "Lengthening Lincoln, what kind of rhythm is that? That's such a beautiful painting!!"
I closed my eyes and imagined that I was wearing a suit and sitting in an extended Lincoln. I was holding beautiful women on my left and right, holding champagne in my hand...
So drunk!
"Hey. Hey! What are you thinking about?" Ye Qiu patted Zhu Quehuang's face, "Stop dreaming. Play the game well."
"Oh..." Being woken up by Ye Qiu, Zhu Quehuang rubbed his face and started to put his luggage.
In the next room are Xu Yunlong and Xuan Wu.
Both of them are veteran players, and they don't talk nonsense. They entered the room and started packing their luggage.
"It feels like the G League is different from before." Xuan Wu said with emotion. "Back then, there was only a small network. A few people played on broken computers. If you win the motherboard, you will be treated to a meal. How can there be any bonus?
.It’s good now. There is even a special shuttle bus.”
"It has been more than ten years anyway." Xu Yunlong said with a smile, "You have been away for too long."
"It's only been a few years." Xuanwu took out his mouse and keyboard, took out special cleaning tools, and began to perform maintenance one by one.
"This keyboard...don't you want to replace it with another one?" Xu Yunlong laughed out loud after seeing Xuanwu's keyboard. He didn't pay much attention to it before, but now when he looked at it, he realized that it was actually the oldest model of mechanical keyboard.
It's something from five or six years ago.
"I can't bear to part with it, but I'm used to it." Xuan Wu smiled. "In any case, I bought it with my first extra salary."
Xu Yunlong's smile froze for a moment, but he quickly reached out and ruffled Xuan Wu's hair, "If you let me lose the game because the keyboard is not responsive, I will never forgive you."
"It's maintained every day, no." Xuan Wu smiled.
"Let's go and see if Qi Lin is back. Let's go to the stadium and have a look. There should be many teams here today." Xu Yunlong changed his shirt. After all, wearing OK team uniforms is too conspicuous in the stadium.
.
"Yeah." Xuanwu put down the keyboard, stood up, changed his clothes, and followed Xu Yunlong out the door.
As soon as the two of them went out, they saw Qi Lin disheveled, with scratches on his face and hands, panting, standing at the door of the room, staring at them.
"Hey, I'm back, how are you? Did you enjoy signing autographs?" Xu Yunlong asked with a smile.
"...Ahaha, very, very good..." Qi Lin didn't want to admit that he was embarrassed, so he just insisted that he had more face.
"Okay, from now on you will be the spokesperson for the OK scene. From now on, you will be responsible for this kind of thing." Xu Yunlong happily threw away the burden, "Any other news interviews and so on, they are all yours."
"Okay, I like it." Qi Lin forced a smile.
"Let's go, call Xiaozhu and the others, and show you the arena. Let's go change clothes first." Xu Yunlong said and opened Zhu Quehuang's door.
After they all finished changing their clothes, they went to hand over Xiao Qingyue, but Xiao Qingyue and Leng Muxue said they were too tired and would not go to the arena, so the two of them watched TV series in the hotel.
The hotel has been booked by the organizer. There is a pick-up car downstairs and the driver is on standby at any time. This is also a major feature of the G League. Many of them are voluntary; they come to help, and the organizer does not keep any money. Ticket revenue
It’s all been spent. According to the current organizer of the G League, “E-sports has not reached the point where it can be used to make money. Now I don’t expect to make money from this. I will spend all the money you give me.”
You can see it during the game."
Therefore, the G-League is also regarded as a conscience game by players. For players, the most favorite thing to participate in domestic competitions is the G-League. However, the G-League is the last offline without sound insulation, which makes many people intolerable.
After the six people arrived at the venue by car, they were frightened by the deafening cheers as soon as they entered.
Even in the group stage, the seats were packed.
The group stage selection matches were not equipped with commentators, but only eight large electronic screens suspended in mid-air. In the center of the stadium, eight large glass rooms were erected on it, and the players of each team competed with their respective opponents.
Play in a glass room.
"Wow wow wow wow! It's so spectacular! It's my first time to see so many people competing together!" Zhu Quehuang excitedly ran to the guardrail the moment he stepped into the gymnasium, grabbed the guardrail and leaned forward while shouting.
go.
"Be careful not to fall." Ye Qiu pulled Zhu Quehuang back and said with emotion: "I was quite surprised when I first came here."
"Pfft." However, Zhu Quehuang suddenly covered his mouth and secretly laughed, "Why are you pretending to be calm?"
"That was a long time ago!" Ye Qiu exclaimed awkwardly.
"Where is Group F?" Xuanwu still did not forget the purpose of coming, "Let's see what our opponents will do first."
"By the way, who are the seeded teams this year?" Qi Lin followed a few people and suddenly thought of this question when they were looking for group F.
"Huh? Don't you know yet?" Ye Qiu couldn't believe that Qi Lin didn't even remember such a basic thing.
"Who remembers those boring things?" Qi Lin snorted, "Anyway, no matter who comes, I will defeat them!"
"Yes, we will defeat it for you." Xu Yunlong answered calmly, "Go solo."
"Hey, hey, hey? God b, please don't do this, let me join in."
"Don't you want to participate in a solo competition?"
"yes."
"Solo or team competition, choose one."
"..." Qi Lin frowned and began to think seriously, "I really want to play solo. Solo is my strong point. I can fight against three without any problem. After all, I am also number one in the world. I am just a small player."
China is nothing. But the team competition seems to be very interesting, mainly because I can play with God B. I haven’t played with God B yet... Ahhh, it’s so hard to choose... Eh? Hey! You guys
Why have you come so far!"
After running all the way and catching up with the five people who had left him behind, Qi Lin pouted unhappily and said, "Again, you left me behind."
"No, it's you who fell behind." Ye Qiu said seriously.
"Eh? Really?" Qi Lin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, it seemed that this was really the case, "If you don't talk about this, you haven't told me which teams this year are.", mz, mlgb and cao." (To be completed.)
