For the offline competition of the Breakout Challenge, the first batch of 2,500 tickets was sold out in just 43 seconds.
This result directly shocked Linmu Studio, Reflecta, and the ticketing company.
None of the three parties expected that it would turn out like this...
Then the next day.
The second batch of 3,000 tickets were also snapped up and bought in just one minute.
Many players didn't get tickets and were cursing.
I thought Linmu Studio didn't actually release so many tickets, it was just marketing.
After all, there were more than 5,000 tickets in the past two days.
How could it be gone all at once?
Facing this circumstances.
Linmu Studio also acted quickly and issued an announcement saying that they had confirmed with the ticketing company that so many tickets had indeed been issued...
The announcement here has just been sent out.
Discussions began in various major forums over there.
It doesn't matter if this is not discussed.
A discussion.
The players found out after combining the number of people who had cursed previously.
Damn it, why do so many people want to watch offline games?
Then the case was solved.
The tickets are available.
But there were too many people grabbing them, and they were all gone in no time...
Then the players were also confused. They were even less experienced. They never expected that there would be so many people interested in an offline e-sports competition.
They reacted one after another and asked Lin Mu Studio to increase seats. If standing room tickets are not possible...
In the end, the discussion of ticket sales for offline games even briefly overshadowed the ongoing 16-to-8 game...
And this situation also made scalpers react.
This group of people did not expect that the e-sports competition would be so popular at first, but now that they saw this situation, they immediately surrounded them like sharks smelling the smell of blood...
…
"Don't rush to sell the next batch."
Linmu studio, conference room.
Lin Yao rubbed her eyebrows: "Let the ticketing company add real-name authentication. It's okay to say that some players can get it and some can't, but players can't get it. Scalpers got it. It's disgusting to us and to the players. It's absolutely unacceptable.
!”
"OK."
Mu Wanqing nodded: "I'll talk to the people at the ticketing company later."
"Our estimates are really too optimistic."
Zhong Xiu smiled bitterly and interjected: "There are too many people there. According to statistics from the ticketing company, at least 18,000 people are grabbing tickets in the second batch..."
"It is indeed too optimistic, or too unconfident. We should pay attention next time."
Lin Yao sighed: "Actually, it's normal if you think about it. With the current popularity and the number of players... the main reason is that we are too conservative."
"...What about the standing ticket?"
"Just stand there and let me give them a ticket, okay?"
Lin Yao was speechless when she heard this: "You definitely can't sell standing tickets. It's not in compliance with the regulations. After the quarterfinals, there will be a BO3. There will be one game every day. With so many days, most interested players should be able to buy tickets.
If we really can’t buy it and there are too many people who want to watch it, then we will promote the online live broadcast and try our best to compensate them.
In addition, Nie Hui, in this offline competition, you must remind Reflecta to do a good job in management and put safety first. If something goes wrong, it will be serious. I don’t want a good thing to turn into a bad thing."
"I understand, I will make a safety plan, and they also understand. After all, the higher ups are watching, and no one wants a good thing to turn into a bad thing."
Nie Hui responded immediately.
It's okay to joke around normally. Lin Yao is very easy-going and everyone likes her.
But when it comes to business, the people present in the conference room will never laugh and laugh. This is their professionalism.
"As for the ticketing, let's wait until the ticketing company adds the real-name ticket purchase. Next, let's talk about the order and process of the team's admission."
There is only the last game left in the 16-to-8 competition. Most of the participating teams have been confirmed and it can indeed be discussed.
"Let No. 1 play first? They are the most popular and they are local players. We have to take care of them no matter what."
Nie Hui thought for a while and suggested.
"NO.1...Okay, it just so happens that their names are very impressive when called out."
Lin Yao nodded, agreed, and then said: "In order, NO.1 will be the first, then..."
She announced several team names one by one.
"As for the last one, let's watch the final game. If FEIREN wins, then let these fools win. If they lose... then there is nothing we can do."
"..."
Hearing Lin Yao's words.
The atmosphere in the conference room immediately became tense.
no way.
Of the five overseas teams that entered the top 64 this time, three were shortlisted for the top eight, and only one was defeated by No. 1. If FEIREN loses in the last game, there will be four overseas teams...
This situation exceeded many people's expectations.
Including Linmu Studio staff.
It would be really bad if the finals turned into a duel between overseas teams...
Out of personal feelings, no one wants to see such a situation.
So the atmosphere was a bit solemn.
"alright."
Seeing the atmosphere like this, Lin Yao took the initiative to speak: "Don't worry too much. Let's take care of our own affairs first and run the game well. Leave the players' matters to the players. I believe in the players and I also believe in FEIREN in the next game."
.”
"Um."
Hearing Lin Yao's words.
The atmosphere finally relaxed.
"By the way, are those teams that don't have team icons yet satisfied with the new icons?" Lin Yao struck while the iron was hot and changed the subject.
“I’m quite satisfied.”
Zhong Xiu nodded and said with a smile.
Many of the teams that entered the top eight this time were from wild backgrounds... they didn't even have a team logo, or they were just fooled.
Lin Yao didn't want to see this situation, and because it was needed for the opening ceremony, she designed team logos for the domestic Yeluzi teams that entered the top eight.
She also had a hand addiction and didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
And at this time.
No one has yet realized the significance of these team logos.
It will probably take a long time... for someone to realize it.
…
January 24th.
In the Breakout Challenge, 16 advanced to 8 in the final match, domestic team FEIREN faced off against overseas team Zero.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Because it is the last game before the offline game.
In addition, in the previous competition, except for the No. 1 domestic team, all other teams lost against overseas teams, which made the audience hold their breath and look forward to the performance of the reckless team FEIREN.
So this game is attracting much attention.
It also brought the number of spectators to a peak.
The moment the game started, the real-time comments started scrolling like crazy.
And FEIREN did not disappoint the domestic audience.
These reckless men, in this game, suddenly changed their style and stopped being reckless. They began to operate steadily and even went to steal some...
This is a huge change in play style.
This directly made the overseas team Zero's original tactics ineffective, and they were defeated miserably.
At the moment of FEIREN's victory, the domestic audience let out the sigh they had been holding in for a long time and immediately celebrated the New Year in place.
Also in the moment of victory.
Land of Abundance, a certain university.
Lu Tai and several roommates jumped up from their chairs, raised their hands, and yelled.
Qi Xiao even cried on the spot.
They are Team Feiren.
This name was chosen by Lu Tai. Originally, he wanted to call him African, but just call him African. It doesn't work because it sounds like the whole team is composed of black uncles...
So in the end, at Qi Xiao's insistence, we only adopted the pinyin of the first two characters.
And they are a bunch of college students.
On the last day of competition, facing overseas teams, with the expectations of the audience.
You can imagine how much pressure there is.
In fact.
Before the game started, their hands were shaking.
but.
In the end, they won.
A team composed of college students advanced to the quarterfinals.
Achieved the small goal that was originally a joke.
