The members of the h4 e-sports club set foot on Jingzhou for the first time.
Team Leader Su and Team Leader Guan respectively lead the gog division and ioi division of the h4 club to participate in the competition held in Jingzhou this weekend.
The schedule is very simple, the final is bo5, the others are bo3, a total of eight teams adopt a single-elimination system, and a total of seven games will be played, Saturday and Sunday.
Although this schedule is a little tight, it makes sense. After all, the events are more intensive and it is easier to maintain the popularity in the short term without making the audience lose their patience.
What makes Team Leader Su feel more outrageous is that the competition between gog and ioi is actually held at the same time, on Saturday and Sunday!
Do we have to crowd together and let the audience choose one?
Moreover, both of these are Tenda's games. Do you want to compete with yourself for popularity? Do you want to fight with each other?
Wouldn't it be better to spread the two games over two weekends?
It's really a bit confusing.
However, what everyone doesn't know is that gog and ioi are really fighting in the nest now.
There is a reason for this timing.
Preparing for the game requires contacting the team, preparing the venue, formulating the schedule, etc. The preparation time of both parties is almost the same.
And whoever starts the game first will get more attention!
For gog players, if they know that there is an ioi game this week, and the gog game will only start next week, then they will probably take a look at the ioi game this week.
The same is true for ioi players.
But when the gog game starts next week, ioi players may not go to watch it.
The one held first will always gain more popularity, just like many mobile phone manufacturers trying to get the first launch.
Therefore, Tengda Games and Yangyang Games are not willing to give in to each other in this regard, and both want to get ahead.
However, the preparation time for the competition cannot be shortened, and the competition must be held on Saturdays and Sundays when the flow of people is relatively large. No one wants to fall behind, so they rush here and there. The time for preparations for the competition cannot be compressed any more, and in the end it is crowded.
same weekend.
After the time is finalized, it’s too late to change it, so we can only stick to it!
In terms of player base, there is no doubt that gog has the upper hand.
However, ioi also spent a lot of money on promotion this time. In addition to inviting several well-known domestic first-tier clubs, it also invited several foreign clubs to create a "World Championship" reputation.
This is very attractive to many viewers. After all, the best and most exciting thing is always the foreign war.
Both sides have put in a lot of advertisements to warm up the promotion. Whether ioi can turn around in the Chinese server depends on this.
If you are still suppressed by gog, it will be more difficult to promote in the future.
"Team leader Su, let's go to the hotel first. Let's cheer together and strive to take home the trophy and meet victoriously!" After the team leader finished speaking, he took a taxi with the team members and left.
The competition venues on both sides are different venues in Jingzhou, and they are quite far apart. It is clearly meant that the audience cannot be indifferent and can only choose to watch on one side.
Therefore, the two teams of the h4 club also stay in different hotels, making it more convenient to go to the competition venue.
Of course, hotel and catering related expenses are also the responsibility of the organizer.
Team Leader Su is also preparing to stop the car and go to the hotel.
At this time, captain Pang Ling suggested: "Team leader Su, it's still early, so we can skip going to the hotel first. Wouldn't it be better to go to the dge club and play a training match with Huang Wang and Jiang Huan?"
Team leader Su was stunned for a moment and nodded: "That's right! It's just right to test the results of our recent training."
After the dge club left Shanghai, the h4 club has been training hard, repeatedly watching the videos of the dge team, and making appointments for online training matches with other clubs.
Progress is rapid!
The two teams of dge were able to defeat h4 in a four-on-six match for many reasons, including strong personal abilities, good teamwork and many unexpected tactical routines.
In addition, another very important point is the understanding of the game.
What should be done in each time period, what is everyone's responsibility, how to implement the tactical system... These contents have benefited everyone in the h4 club a lot.
Apply this tactic to other clubs, and the effect is surprisingly good.
Therefore, everyone is a little swollen and would like to have another match with everyone in the dge club to see how much they have improved.
Team leader Su sent a message to Zhang Yuan, who readily agreed and sent the location.
The members of the h4 club's gog unit went directly to Mingyun Villa.
"At that time, we can just find an Internet cafe and play training matches, right?"
"I heard that there is a very famous Internet cafe in Jingzhou called Moyu Internet Cafe. It is said that the equipment is very good and the environment is good. I wonder if I will go there to play training matches."
"Is the configuration really good? How good can it be?"
"Who knows, I feel like the publicity on the Internet is a bit too much. Anyway, it's definitely better than the Internet cafe we often go to, but it's not much better, right? Anyway, let's take a look there..."
There were six members of the h4 club. They took two taxis and arrived at Mingyun Villa about half an hour later.
Everyone was idle along the way, looking at the scenery outside.
The biggest feeling is: it is still far from the Magic City!
After all, Jingzhou is just a second-tier city. There are no high-rise buildings like the Magic City, nor special buildings like the Oriental Pearl Tower. Looking around along the way, all I saw were ordinary city scenery, and there was nothing special about it.
Special features.
This made everyone's mentality more balanced and even gave them a little sense of superiority.
Because I have always heard that Jingzhou is very livable, with Internet cafes, takeaways, express delivery, etc. very convenient. Some people even praised Jingzhou as being better than Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, which made the members of the h4 club quite dissatisfied.
Now it seems that in the area of high-rise buildings, Jingzhou is still tightly arranged by the Magic City.
Two taxis stopped one after another at Mingyun Villa. Seeing the spacious villas, the team members' faces showed a little bit of envy for the first time.
It was much more elegant than the villa they lived in on the outskirts of the magical city!
However, considering that this is mainly due to the land price, the villa in the Magic City can rival the two here, and everyone's psychology is a little more balanced.
Pang Ling, the captain of h4, was also looking at these villas and suddenly realized that he seemed to have had an inexplicable comparison mentality ever since he came to Jingzhou.
When he realized this, Pang Ling himself was a little surprised.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising at all that this kind of comparison mentality appears.
Because everyone in the h4 club was dissatisfied after being beaten by the dge club!
Everyone is a passerby with high scores, and they joined the h4 club only after going through trial training.
h4 Club is a long-established club in China. Many Internet-addicted teenagers are proud to join this club and become a professional player.
Pang Ling and others are very proud to be members of the gog branch of the h4 club.
However, the members of the dge club severely damaged their pride, crushing them both in terms of personal image and team strength.
How do the h4 club members accept this?
Just like many martial arts heroes who have worked hard to enter a prestigious sect, only to have a small sect appear out of nowhere and beat you to a bloody pulp.
This must be a psychological imbalance!
Therefore, everyone in the h4 club naturally has this unbalanced mentality and is subconsciously comparing themselves.
When Pang Ling thought of this, he immediately became vigilant and warned himself to stay calm.
As a competitive athlete, maintaining your mentality is a very important lesson.
Pang Ling took a deep breath and told himself not to think so much, but to concentrate on the next training match with the dge club.
Zhang Yuan had already come out in advance to greet him.
"Leader Su! Please come inside. Please come inside."
Zhang Yuan is very enthusiastic. After all, dge club will have to maintain good relations with other domestic clubs in the future. It is always right to cultivate more contacts.
"Our training base is relatively simple, so everyone can sit wherever they want. It will be noon soon, so I ordered takeout for everyone. After everyone has finished eating, we will go to Moyu Internet Cafe to play a training match."
Leader Su nodded: "Okay, guests and hosts are welcome. Brother Zhang, just make arrangements."
The h4 team members walked in and looked around with interest. The villa also had a yard, and the green plants in the yard were well trimmed. It was obvious that there was someone responsible for it.
However, when they arrived at the training hall, everyone in the h4 club fell silent.
Pang Ling didn't know how to express his feelings at this time.
Is this what you mean by "the training base is relatively simple"?
This villa belongs to Mr. Li. After buying it, it has basically maintained its original decoration and has not made any big show of extravagant decoration.
However, the original decoration is already refined!
Zhang Yuan went out of his way to purchase various furniture, computers, etc., so the entire training hall looked harmonious and formal, not like a B&B.
When Pang Ling compared the training base with h4, he immediately saw the obvious difference!
The villa at the h4 club is rented, and there are some furniture and sundries from the landlord that cannot be thrown away, so we can only make do with it.
So it will appear nondescript.
Some of the furniture belonged to the original landlord, and some were repurchased. The styles are not uniform, and none of them are good-looking. Not to mention the accommodation conditions, some sleep on bunk beds, and some sleep on double beds with single bedding. Many team members even
I don’t have a wardrobe, so I can only buy a simple wardrobe to hang clothes.
But look at the dge club, it’s completely different!
All furniture, including computer desks, wardrobes, sofas for resting, beds for team members, etc., were obviously purchased in a unified manner, with uniform styles and appropriate sizes. Although there are more than a dozen computer desks in the training hall, they are not at all
It feels crowded, but it feels like it is the way it should be.
These computers, with their cool RGB lights flashing, are very technological and feel like they are at least ten years ahead of the computers at the h4 club.
In short, the environment here is similar to those shot in many TV dramas. It seems to be a deliberate setting, and there is no "makeshift" place at all!
Pang Ling couldn't help but wonder, if this is called "relatively crude", then what is the name of the h4 training base?
Slum or dumpster?
What was even more uncomfortable was Manager Su, who felt like this was a large-scale corpse-whipping scene.
Because when the dge club visited the h4 club, he proudly introduced it to everyone.
Now that I think about the content I boasted, the more I think about it, the more embarrassed I become. I don’t know how Zhang Yuan and the others could endure it at that time...
