Chapter 282: Forge Ahead
January 1st. New Year's
Day.
The new year has arrived.
During this period, Linmu Studio has done a lot of things.
Some players know.
For example, Linmu Studio acquired a motion capture studio some time ago.
Some players don't know, such as a new project team was established within Linmu Studio, the project leader of "Fantasy OL" changed, and a "steampunk" trend suddenly emerged within the studio.
But whether they know it or not,
for the players,
these are not the point.
What they pay most attention to
is the competition held by Linmu Studio.
After the preliminary qualifiers. On
the first day of New Year's Day, the offline competition opened.
On this day.
The three game project competitions of Linmu Studio will usher in the opening battle.
"Breakout" is the first battle of the group stage, and the last champion NO.1 will face the runner-up FEIREN.
Although NO.1 has recently undergone a major change, it is very boring, but this duel is still enough. The gimmick is very much expected by the players.
On the other hand, in "Battle Royale", players are looking forward to the battle between the anchor team and the professional team.
Because this game live broadcast is very popular, and Lin Yao is not too concerned about the official competition, so there are many cup competitions on various live broadcast platforms. Many anchors who are good at playing have also participated in it. Many of them have become famous, and there are also several anchor teams that have entered the offline competition from the qualifiers.
On the other hand.
The Breakout Challenge held by Linmu Studio last year was a great success. Many clubs that were born from it, in addition to the Breakout team, also established a Battle Royale division.
Now professional players are fighting against anchors who are good at playing... Whether anchors can play professionally, who is the shock wave, and how big the gap is, all depends on this battle.
So the expectations are also full.
And the last "Warcraft" is not bad either. The first and second place in the game ladder ranking are a duel, and one is Chinese and the other is Korean.
The two chased each other in the ladder. They
don't like each other.
Warcraft players have long wanted to see them face to face.
Now that it's offline, won't the new and old grudges be settled together?
So this e-sports festival of Linmu Studio is really full of expectations.
Especially the opening ceremony!
As for the tickets for the offline opening and opening match, Lin Yao was very careful.
Pre-sale started a long time ago, and then divided into ten batches, all of which required real-name authentication, and even verification of whether it was the real person was required to enter.
But the scalpers also knew that this event was very popular and had prepared for it...
They were careless at the beginning of the last breakout challenge, and lost a lot of money. This time they learned to be smart.
Although the entry verification hindered them for a while, they also provided a proxy grab service...
So in the end.
The ticket price was still inflated...
But in this situation, Lin Yao really had no choice but to try to limit it.
And finally, on the opening day.
The entire Chunying Gymnasium.
Except for a few empty seats, some audiences were delayed because of various things and did not come, almost all of them were sitting.
Before the opening began, the whole venue began to get restless.
The audience shouted the names of the teams they supported while chatting.
It was very lively.
"Back! Back! It feels like everything is back! Brother!"
Hank shouted the Pajama Ninjas team he supported, and then turned around and shouted to his good brother.
"Yeah! It feels great! Just like last year! And it's even more exciting this year!"
David also shouted back. The two put their arms around each other's shoulders, cheered, and enjoyed the game.
Until the game was about to start.
The venue gradually became quiet.
David, as the elder brother, let go of his brother's shoulder and asked casually: "By the way, brother, how did you get the leave this time? You haven't told me until now. Why is your boss so kind? He gave you vacation for two consecutive years? I fired my boss directly for asking for leave."
"Uh..."
Hank's movements froze.
It's hard to say.
For this game.
His whole family died heroically...
Now in the eyes of his boss. He
is just a poor man who lost his brother to brain cancer at the end of last year, lost his father after Christmas, and finally this year his widowed mother died of depression...
For this.
His boss also gave him a consolation bonus...
But it's hard to say.
It feels like he will be beaten.
"Brother?" David saw that he didn't speak, which was a bit strange.
"Hey! Brother, the opening ceremony has begun, let's not worry about these small details."
Just when Hank was in a dilemma.
Fortunately,
the opening ceremony began.
Hank successfully fooled through.
However, he was also a little worried. What should he do next year?
There is no excuse.
The whole family has used it up.
Maybe... I can let my dear uncle sacrifice a little?
...
The opening ceremony began.
Just like last year, it was simple but exciting.
Backstage.
The two teams for the opening match of the Breakout Challenge are ready to go on stage.
It's just that one team is on one side of the stage, and the other team is on the other side.
And their mental outlooks are very different.
The original FEIREN team is excited.
On the NO.1 side, things have changed. There were five people last year, but only one Chen Xi is left.
There are four newcomers behind him.
At this moment, they are clenching their fists tightly, and you can tell from their expressions that they are very nervous and uneasy.
Not only because they have no experience on the stage of the Breakout Challenge.
But also because of their opponents.
FEIREN.
They are now recognized as the top three in the world in the entire breakout circle.
Although NO.1 won the championship last year, they are not even a little bit behind FEIREN now... The two teams played two games before the Breakout Challenge, and lost both.
And they lost particularly badly.
In one game, they were almost shut out.
In this situation.
Chen Xi's teammates were under great pressure. They were afraid of losing face, afraid of opponents, and afraid of everything.
They even dared not think about winning.
The only one who could remain calm was Chen Xi.
He stood there quietly for a while with a blank expression on his face. Suddenly, his eyes crossed the stage and looked at the opposite side.
Opposite him.
FEIREN's captain Lu Tai was bragging to his roommate and current teammate about his great success last year. Then, at a certain moment, he seemed to realize something, turned around, and looked at Chen Xi.
Lu Tai looked at Chen Xi and smiled.
He silently said "Come on".
Then he made a throat-cutting gesture, indicating that he would wait and see.
Chen Xi's expressionless face finally showed a smile.
"We can't beat them at all..."
But at this moment.
Behind him, a teammate seemed to have seen Lu Tai's actions and whispered in frustration.
Hearing his words, the other three were also like bereaved...
"Then we won't fight. We will withdraw from the competition. We can't beat them anyway."
Chen Xi slowly put away the smile on his face, turned his head, and looked at the four new teammates.
The four teammates were stunned for a moment, then looked at him in astonishment.
As the strongest person in the NO.1, the most serious person, even if he is sure to lose the game, he will never give up and make the last effort.
It was really unexpected that he would say such words.
"What's wrong?"
Chen Xi looked at the four people's faces with a blank expression: "Aren't you scared? Don't you think you can't win? Why can't you be more direct? Just withdraw from the competition, anyway, you just said that you can't win. You think so before the game even starts."
The other four people finally realized something and slowly lowered their heads.
“Heh… I know that our team has just been rebuilt and has not yet been run-in. Our opponent is still a strong team, the almost unrivaled FEIREN in the country. You have no confidence. But if, if we go on the court to play the game, and we don’t even have the heart to win, then what’s the point of playing? We might as well withdraw from the competition!”
Chen Xi continued: “Do you know? Actually, someone has poached me and offered me very good treatment and a high salary. Our opponent is still a strong team second only to FEIREN. I know that if I leave, the results will be better and I will be able to compete with FEIREN, but I don’t want to leave.
I came up with the name NO.1 and the team logo was designed by Lin Yao, yes, that’s Lin Yao from Linmu Studio. This is my team! I don’t want to leave!”
The other four looked up at Chen Xi again.
"And why should I leave! Last year! Just last year! I finally defeated Lu Tai! I won the championship! We are the champions! Is it because of the change of teammates this year that we don't even have the spirit to compete with them again, and the desire to win?"
Chen Xi suddenly raised his voice and shouted: "Are you so rubbish!? You don't even dare to go up and fight!? You feel you are going to lose before you even get on the stage!? Are you so useless!?"
The other four were silent, looked at Chen Xi, and slowly clenched their fists.
"The meaning of the name of the NO.1 team is to move forward and win until... the first!"
Chen Xi took a deep breath, pursed his lips, and turned around.
Faced with Lu Tai again.
He also made a throat-cutting gesture.
Lu Tai on the opposite side saw it and immediately laughed, especially brilliantly.
At the same time.
The familiar roar of this master sounded.
"Let us invite - NO.1!!! And - FEIREN!!!"
I won't write about e-sports this time, it's just a transition chapter...
