Chapter 622: The Meaning of the Sponsor
"Congratulations to the Longcheng University team for defeating Peking Normal University 2:1 and successfully advancing to the second round. The system determined that the MVP of this match was awarded to Longcheng University's marksman Shen Xing. Shen Xing had 19 kills and 0 deaths in a single match, accounting for 63% of the damage output, with two triple kills, one quadruple kill, and one pentakill! He truly deserves the title!"
There was a huge cheer at the scene, and it was obvious that the cheer was for Shen Xing alone.
But the other members of the Longda team didn't care, because they received too little applause and cheers on the field, and they felt honored to encounter this scene at this moment.
The players all knew what was going on, and Guan Zhe knew it even better. They played this game very easily. It felt like they just cleared the minion line and followed Shen Xing when he was operating, and they won easily.
Shen Xing was the only one performing throughout the show!
A few people came to Taichung, bowed, and then turned around and left the stage.
Back in the waiting room, Wu Changlin excitedly rushed over and hugged Shen Xing directly: "Shen Xing is so amazing, it makes my scalp tingle!"
Shen Xing smiled sheepishly, but said, "Calm down, it's just basic operation."
"I believe what you said. It's so smooth!" Wu Changlin said excitedly.
Li Yuan sat on the sofa in silence. He had watched the game. He was angry and unconvinced at first, but skills don't lie. Shen Xing was much better than him.
Guan Zhe stepped forward, raised his foot and gently kicked the sulking Li Yuan, whispering, "It's your own fault today. We have to win. We can't be eliminated in the first round and lose to Beijing Normal University. We can't afford to lose face like this."
"I can't help it, you can't blame me."
Li Yuan calmed down and recovered. Today he was inexplicably nervous and trembling. If he really lost to Beijing Normal University because of him, not only would Guan Zhe be angry, but the sponsors might also kick him out.
Guan Zhe was also protecting him by doing this.
"Then can I play in the second round?" Li Yuan looked at Guan Zhe.
Guan Zhe was about to nod when a staff member from Wah Cha Cha suddenly came over and said, "Guan Zhe, come out. I want to talk to you about something."
Others noticed and looked over, but the staff member walked out without even looking up. Guan Zhe had no choice but to follow him.
"What's wrong?"
"There's such a strong player on the bench, why didn't you let him play from the beginning?" The staff member said, "We're sponsoring you so we can get more exposure. How can you get more exposure?"
Guan Zhe felt a little guilty and kept his head down without saying a word.
The other party said in a resounding voice: "Just like today, did you see that the big screen broadcast in the second half was basically all on Shen Xing. Our brand will continue to be exposed in the live broadcast across the entire network. This is the value of our sponsorship of you, do you understand?"
Guan Zhe nodded.
The staff member said, "Our manager said that Shen Xing must participate in the entire competition starting from the next one. If we make it to the finals this year, everyone will get a bonus, including me! You guys should fight for me."
"No, brother..." Guan Zhe was still thinking about his buddy. Hearing this, he argued, "But the operational tactics we train have always been the five of us. Shen Xing doesn't understand."
"Forget about your operational tactics. We trained for several months, but we almost lost to Beijing Normal University. I don't know what kind of battalion you run!"
In a word, Guan Zhe was filled with shame and anger.
But this is also the truth.
Back in the waiting room, it was quiet and everyone looked at him subconsciously.
The first round of today's competition was over. Shen Xing stood up with his coat in hand and said, "Captain, I'm leaving now."
"Don't leave yet. I have something to tell you." Guan Zhe raised his head, his expression conflicted but he had to say, "In the next game, you will still be the striker, replacing Li Yuan."
With just one sentence, everyone's eyes widened in shock.
"What?" Li Yuan jumped up, his eyes scanning everyone's face, finally landing on Guan Zhe: "Say it again?"
Shen Xing also subconsciously looked at Wu Changlin, but Wu Changlin nodded happily for him.
Guan Zhe knew Li Yuan had heard it, so he sighed: "I can't do anything about it. It's the sponsor's intention, and there's no room for negotiation."
The three words "sponsor" were enough to silence everyone present.
He is the financial sponsor, who can afford to offend him?
Li Yuan gnashed his teeth in anger, and finally kicked the sofa fiercely: "Fuck!"
As a result, this sound happened to fall into the ears of Coach Haichang who was walking to the door, and he was stunned by the shock.
But when he saw Shen Xing, he smiled again: "Shen Xing!"
Shen Xing was still immersed in shock and was startled by Coach Haichang's shout. He looked up in surprise, and when he saw Coach Haichang, the look in his eyes was even more shocked.
"Coach Haichang?"
"Okay, you still remember me." Haichang raised his eyebrows with a smile and walked into the waiting room of Longda with a swagger.
When the people in the waiting room saw Haichang, they all showed the same expression as Shen Xing.
"Oh my god, it's Haichang, the coach of the Longcheng B-Star Team?"
"A champion coach in the professional league."
"Coach Haichang, who has trained a world champion?"
Those who play e-sports are very familiar with professional players and coaches. When they saw Coach Haichang appear in front of them alive, they were so surprised that they forgot to react.
Coach Haichang walked up to Shen Xing and stood still. "You little brat! I added you on WeChat just to wait for you to contact me. Now that you've been accepted into Longcheng, you haven't contacted me, and you've even snuck off to play in the college league. You've played in national professional tournaments, so why are you regressing?"
After hearing what Coach Haichang said, the team members' eyes widened in shock and they all looked at Shen Xing.
Especially Li Yuan, Shen Xing said that the games he played were much more valuable than those played in the college league, and it turned out that he was not lying.
The others obviously just found out about it as well. After all, not everyone had watched the game, and at least the others present didn't know about it before.
That's why the shock is even greater.
Shen Xing scratched his head awkwardly. "Coach Haichang, you're really wronging me. I just got bored after entering university and joined the esports club. Then, by chance, I ended up playing. It wasn't my turn to play today. I was a substitute."
Haichang couldn't help laughing at this. He glanced around at everyone in the room and said without mercy, "As expected of Longcheng University, it's a place full of talented people. To have you as a substitute on the bench, you're truly a talent!"
Being mocked in person by the professional coach, everyone's faces showed guilty and embarrassed expressions.
"But I met you again today, which means we are destined to be together. I just watched the match, and you've maintained your strength quite well. Are you interested in talking to me?"
