For players on Team Prime, esports can bring them a lot.
For example, honor, such as happiness.
In the beginning, the captain of the team, Su Zhe, was just an unknown high school student. His grades were not among the best in the class, and his girlfriend also gave him a cuckold.
It is precisely because of King of Glory that he was able to successfully reach the pinnacle of life and become the number one god of war in KPL and an e-sports star with countless fans.
The same is true for Wangcai. He didn't even go to high school. He went out to work after graduating from junior high school. By chance, he became an e-sports player and gained his current identity and status.
And there is Lin Yan.
He didn't want to work professionally at first. He just wanted to study in college, find a job, and live in a quiet abandoned house.
Unexpectedly, ever since he, Jingzhe, Awei and the others participated in the King's Tournament organized by the school, he would embark on a new path.
E-sports has brought him honor, happiness, and the passion of fighting side by side among teammates.
But apart from these spiritual things, the reason why Prime team players and other e-sports players embark on this path is actually very simple.
That's because of money.
E-sports can bring them a lot of wealth.
It is precisely for this reason that when Han Xiaojun mentioned the prize money of the Winter Champions Cup, everyone in the Prime team became energetic.
This reaction made Han Xiaojun very satisfied. He smiled and said:
"Yes, the total prize pool of this Winter Champions Cup is 3.4 million yuan. It was initially divided equally among the eight participating teams. That is to say, as long as they advance to the knockout rounds, each team will receive a prize of 425,000 yuan!
"
"Wow……"
Upon hearing this number, Lion couldn't help but exclaimed.
He is still just a child, and so much money is simply an astronomical figure for him.
Glancing at Lion, Han Xiaojun couldn't help but smile and said: "Lion, you are happy too early. Although these bonuses are distributed to you, they are not all yours. According to the rules of the Winter Champions Cup, the outcome of the knockout rounds is determined.
The prize money will belong to the participating teams.”
Lion immediately became curious and asked, "Coach, what do you mean?"
Lin Yan also looked confused and asked: "How to determine the ownership of bonuses based on the relationship between victory and defeat?"
Han Xiaojun said methodically: "That's it. At the beginning, each team will receive a bonus of 425,000, but in the next knockout round, there will be a competition for bonuses. The knockout round uses a BO5 format, and the two teams competing against each other,
If the winner directly beats the opponent 3:0, then the winner can take away all the loser’s prize money, that is to say - take away the loser’s 425,000 yuan!”
"What?!"
Hearing this, Lin Yan and the others widened their eyes.
Grab the bonus directly?
Playing so big?
So exciting?
"Isn't this so exciting?" Wangcai was in a good mood and had already begun to beat other teams on his own. "If we beat other teams 3:0, then all their prize money will be ours?"
"That's right." Han Xiaojun said.
Han Meng next to him gave a cold reminder: "But if we are beaten 3:0 by others, we won't get a penny..."
"Uh..." Wangcai quickly shook his head and said, "It's impossible, we will definitely win!"
At this time, Lin Yan asked again: "What about 3:1? 3:2?"
There are three situations in BO5 duel.
One is 3:0, one is 3:1, and one is 3:2. There is no fourth situation.
Han Xiaojun said: "In a 3:0 game, the winner takes all the loser's prize money; in a 3:1 game, the winner takes 80% of the prize money; in a 3:2 game, the winner takes 60% of the loser's prize money."
"That's it..." Lin Yan nodded slightly, "So, this rule is really tense and exciting, and it's also a little bit reasonable..."
"Yes." Captain Su Zhe also nodded and said, "The e-sports arena is actually a battlefield, and the law of the jungle is the eternal law. The competition format of this Winter Champions Cup is still very reasonable and very exciting."
Han Meng smiled and said: "I just don't know how much bonus we can get in the end?"
"I must make a lot of money! Take away all the bonuses from other teams!" Wangcai said excitedly.
He has always been a money-minded character.
At this time, Han Xiaojun said again: "By the way, this winter championship competition has added a new rule - the losing side selection system."
"What?"
The members of Team Prime were at a loss.
The loser chooses a side? How?
Han Xiaojun said without waiting for anyone to ask: "This rule is actually very simple. It is to allow the losing side to gain as much advantage as possible. For example, in a BO5 game, we were on the red side in the first round, but we won the next round.
, the opposing team that loses the game has the right to choose whether to play on the blue side or the red side..."
Hearing this, Lin Yan frowned and said, "But everyone knows that King of Glory is also called Blue Glory. The blue side has an advantage over the red side. The losing side will definitely choose the blue side."
"That's right." Han Xiaojun said, "Then this can increase the losing team's chance of winning, force the winning rates of the two teams to be close, and increase the suspense of the game..."
"I understand." Lin Yan suddenly realized, "In this way, if there are two teams with very different strengths, as long as one side keeps losing, they will always have the advantage of choosing sides and make up for the gap between the two teams."
"Yes. In this way, we can play as many games as possible. No matter how big the strength gap is, the two teams will probably end up with a 3:2 score, or at least a 3:1..." Han Xiaojun said.
Han Meng sighed with emotion: "Huh, the organizers have also worked hard to delay the competition longer."
"Yeah!"
Wangcai also sighed with emotion, and then said with a burst of pain, "Oops, if this happens, wouldn't it be difficult to win a 3:0 game? Then how can we win the bonuses from other teams?"
After hearing this, Su Zhe couldn't help but patted Wangcai on the shoulder and said: "Fool, in a 3:1 game, we can also take away 80% of the bonus!"
"But it's still 20% less! What a loss!" Wangcai said anxiously.
He is reluctant to throw away a penny and wants to take away 120% of the other party's bonus.
Han Meng said with a smile: "Leave a little bit of distance in your life so that we can meet each other easily in the future. We are all old colleagues from KPL. If you take away 100% of their bonuses, it will not be easy to meet each other in the future, right?"
"Okay, okay..." Wangcai reluctantly accepted.
After such a discussion, the Prime team's expectations for the Winter Champions Cup have also been aroused.
And the back of the bus.
Jingzhe, who was sitting next to Lin Yan, gently stretched out his hand to poke him and asked in a low voice: "Master, if you get this bonus, how do you plan to spend it?"
Lin Yan couldn't help but laugh: "The draw for the knockout rounds hasn't come out yet, why? Are you so eager to spend the bonus? Are you too optimistic?"
"Well...that's right." Jingzhe scratched his head in embarrassment, and then said, "But I think with the current strength of Team Prime, we can definitely win the Ice Phoenix Cup."
"Really? Are you so confident in us?" Lin Yan asked with a smile.
"Well, of course." Jingzhe said with a sweet smile.
When she said this, Lin Yan couldn't help but start to admire her.
"Yes...if I win this bonus, how will I spend it? I don't have anything I want to buy now, and the money is quite a lot..."
After thinking about it, Lin Yan smiled and said, "That's good. Let's go on a trip. Playing games is stressful and I need to relax."
Upon hearing this suggestion, Jingzhe's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Then should we go together? It's lonely to travel alone. Can I go with you?" She said softly.
When Lin Yan heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Of course, it's a good idea to go traveling together."
Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, an obscene voice suddenly came from not far away:
"It's so romantic to travel together, and you can also take the opportunity...hehehehe..."
At some point, Chen Ye appeared next to the seat and quietly overheard the whispers between Lin Yan and Jing Zhe.
When he said this, the two people's cheeks turned red instantly.
