Chapter 142: There will never be a lack of miracles.
For the offline competition of the Breakout Challenge, the first batch of 2,500 tickets were sold out in just 43 seconds.
This result shocked Linmu Studio, Reflecta, and the ticketing company.
None of the three parties expected it to turn out like this...
Then the next day.
The second batch of 3,000 tickets were also snapped up in just one minute.
Many players didn't get the tickets and cursed.
They thought that Linmu Studio didn't actually release so many tickets and was marketing.
After all, there were more than 5,000 tickets in the past two days.
How could they be gone in an instant?
Faced with this situation.
Linmu Studio also acted quickly and issued a notice saying that it had confirmed with the ticketing company that so many tickets were indeed released...
As soon as the notice was issued here.
The major forums over there started discussing it.
It doesn't matter if we don't discuss it.
Once we discussed it.
The players combined the number of people who cursed before and realized.
Damn, why do so many people want to watch the offline competition?
Then the case was solved.
There are tickets.
But there were too many people trying to buy tickets, and they were gone in no time...
Then the players were also confused. They had no experience at all, and they could never have imagined that so many people would be interested in an offline e-sports competition.
They all reacted and asked Linmu Studio to add more seats, and if that didn't work, standing tickets would also be fine...
In the end, the discussion about the offline ticket sales even temporarily overwhelmed the ongoing 16-to-8 competition...
And this situation also made the scalpers react.
These people didn't expect e-sports competitions to be so popular at first, and now seeing this situation, they immediately surrounded them like sharks smelling blood...
...
"Don't rush to sell the next batch."
Linmu Studio, meeting room.
Lin Yao rubbed his brows: "Let the ticketing company add real-name authentication first. It's okay if some players can get the tickets and some can't. But if the players can't get the tickets and the scalpers can, it will disgust us and the players. We absolutely can't do that!"
"Okay."
Mu Wanqing nodded: "I'll talk to the people from the ticketing company later."
"Our estimate is really too optimistic."
Zhong Xiu smiled bitterly and interrupted: "There are too many people. According to statistics from the ticketing company, there are at least 18,000 people scrambling for tickets in the second batch..."
"It's really too optimistic, or too unconfident. We have to pay attention next time."
Lin Yao sighed: "Actually, it's normal to think about it. The current popularity, plus there are so many players... It's mainly because we are too conservative."
"...What about the standing tickets?"
"Standing ghost, I'll give them tickets, okay..."
Lin Yao was a little speechless after hearing this: "Of course we can't sell standing tickets, it's not in compliance with the regulations. After the quarterfinals, we will play BO3, one game every day. With so many days, most interested players should be able to buy tickets. If they really can't buy tickets and there are too many people who want to watch, then we will promote the online live broadcast and try to compensate them.
In addition, Nie Hui, for this offline competition, you must remind Reflecta to do a good job of management and put safety first. If there is any problem, it will be very serious. I don't want a good thing to turn into a bad thing."
"I understand, I will make a safety plan, and they understand it too. 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 serious matters, the people present in the conference room will never laugh and joke. This is their professional quality.
"Then let's wait for the ticket company to add the real-name ticket purchase system to the ticketing issue. Next, let's talk about the order and process of the team entering the venue."
There is only one game left in the round of 16, and most of the participating teams have been confirmed, so it can indeed be discussed.
"Let NO.1 go first? They are the most popular and they are local players. We must take care of them anyway."
Nie Hui thought about it and suggested.
"NO.1... OK, it just so happens that their names are also very impressive when they are called out."
Lin Yao nodded and agreed, and then said: "Then in order, NO.1 will go first, followed by..."
She called out the names of several teams one by one.
"As for the last one, let's see the last game. If FEIREN wins, then let these reckless men be the last. If they lose... then there is nothing we can do."
"..."
Hearing Lin Yao's words.
The atmosphere in the conference room immediately became solemn.
There is nothing we can do.
Of the five overseas teams that entered the top 64 this time, three entered the top eight, and only one was defeated by NO.1. If FEIREN loses the last game, there will be four overseas teams...
This situation is beyond the expectations of many people.
Including the staff of Linmu Studio.
If the final becomes a duel between overseas teams, it would be really terrible...
Out of personal feelings, no one wants to see such a situation.
So the atmosphere was a little solemn.
"Okay."
Seeing the atmosphere, Lin Yao took the initiative to speak: "Don't worry too much, let's do our own things first and run the game well. Let the players solve their own problems. I believe in the players and I also believe in FEIREN in the next game."
"Yes."
After hearing Lin Yao's words,
the atmosphere finally eased.
"By the way, are those teams that don't have team logos yet satisfied with the new logos?" Lin Yao struck while the iron was hot and changed the subject.
"They are all quite satisfied."
Zhong Xiu nodded and said with a smile.
Many of the teams that entered the quarterfinals this time are from independent teams... They don't even have a team logo, or they just fool around with it.
Lin Yao didn't want to see this situation, and since she had to use it for the opening ceremony, she designed team logos for the independent teams that entered the quarterfinals.
She also had a try and didn't think there was anything wrong.
At this time,
no one has realized the significance of these team logos.
It will probably take a long time... before anyone realizes it.
...
January 24th.
Breakout Challenge, the last game of 16 to 8, the domestic team FEIREN played against the overseas team Zero.
Because it was the last game before the offline game.
In addition, in the previous events, except for the No. 1 domestic team, all other teams lost to the overseas teams, which made the audience hold their breath and look forward to the performance of the reckless team FEIREN.
So this game attracted everyone's attention.
It also brought the number of spectators to a peak.
The moment the game started, real-time comments began to roll wildly.
And FEIREN did not disappoint the domestic audience.
This group of reckless men suddenly changed their style in this game. They were not reckless anymore. They started to operate steadily and even went to steal points...
This changed their playing style greatly. It
directly made the original tactics of the overseas team Zero invalid, and finally lost miserably.
At the moment of FEIREN's victory, the domestic audience let out their long-held breath and immediately celebrated the New Year on the spot.
It was also at the moment of victory.
In the 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 the feiren team.
This name was chosen by Lu Tai. He wanted to call them Africans, but calling them Africans directly didn't work because it sounded like the whole team was made up of black uncles...
So in the end, under Qi Xiao's insistence, they only used the pinyin of the first and last two characters.
And they were a bunch of college students.
On the last day of the competition, facing the overseas team, with the expectations of the audience.
You can imagine how much pressure they were under.
In fact,
their hands were shaking before the game started.
But,
in the end, they still won.
A team composed of college students advanced to the quarterfinals.
They achieved the small goal that was just a joke at the beginning.
As expected,
there will never be a lack of miracles in e-sports competitions.
