Chapter 52 Astringent in Bitterness, Sour in Astringent
The remaining two No. 2 seeds are anx from Group A and h2k from Group C.
Because the previous pits are already occupied, the remaining positions can only be allocated according to the rules.
The lineup is confirmed:
Left half:
skt vs h2k
ssg vs anx
Right half:
edg vs c9
rox vs rng
After shaking hands, representatives from both sides of the war left the field together.
The eight clubs have begun preparations and headed to the Black Army Pier in Chicago, Illinois for the quarterfinals on October 14.
"Whoosh whoosh..."
Xing Dao was packing up his peripherals when he suddenly smelled an indescribable smell.
Follow the direction and turn your eyes to the door.
I found the factory director who had just returned, holding a yellow object in a plastic box and eating happily, making a snoring sound unconsciously.
"The durian is too much!" Meiko raised her hand and slapped her near her nose.
"It's delicious, would you like some?" the factory manager knows how to share.
"What's so delicious about this?" Meiko didn't understand.
"That's right, with this color and texture, I believe it even if you say it's shit." Xing Dao agreed.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" The factory director immediately retorted: "Durian smells bad but tastes delicious; feces not only smells bad, but is also bitter and astringent, astringent and sour, and it sticks to your teeth and throat."
"Brother Changzi, I have wine here." Xing Dao found a tactful way of saying it.
"Where did the wine come from... No, I don't have a story! I heard it from hearsay, do you understand what I heard?" Only then did the factory director realize that something was wrong.
"I understand, understand, can you not understand this? I have no other merits, except that I have a strict mouth, Nuo——" Xing Dao also gestured to the side.
"Yes, yes, I am also strict with my words!" Meiko raised three fingers: "I will never tell anyone."
"You two... what the hell..." The factory director felt helpless for a while.
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble and get ready to get in the car." Abu laughed for a long time and then came over to organize: "The peripherals and your personal belongings have been checked. If there is something missing, I don't have time to come back to get it. What else is there?
Address your questions directly to me.”
The last sentence is just a formality.
Unexpectedly.
Xing Dao actually came over: "Manager, I want to start a live broadcast."
????
live streaming?
Abu suddenly became puzzled.
We are preparing for a game, what kind of live broadcast... Besides, a substitute who has just joined the team has not signed a contract with the platform.
I was about to refuse.
Considering the role played by Xing Dao, Abu thought it would be better to ask first: "Why did you suddenly think of starting a live broadcast?"
"I feel like my performance in the group stage was okay. While the popularity is still there, let's try to gain popularity first." Xing Dao found a reason.
"Well..." Abu thought for a moment and felt it was understandable.
During the World Finals, the popularity of professional players reached a peak.
If you don't make too many mistakes and just carry a few games, you will attract as many fans as you have accumulated throughout the year.
Take advantage of this opportunity to start a side job...
Quite smart.
"In principle, the club does not prevent players from broadcasting live broadcasts."
Abramovich carefully considered his words: "But, no matter for the club or you personally, the most important thing is always the results in the competition. The temporary popularity is nothing. The winner is the one who laughs in the end."
"Don't worry, manager, I understand all this." Xing Dao started to fool: "Just broadcast it during the ranking game. It won't affect the training. It will show other teams the first-person operations. You can also use smoke bombs."
later seasons.
When professional players start broadcasting, they basically don’t show their true skills.
There are random kills in the game, and there are many players who defend their rank.
So much so that most clubs don't do research because it has no reference value.
"It makes sense." Abu thought seriously: "You also had the same concept in rank before? Letting out smoke?"
"Yes!" Xing Dao said firmly.
"If that's the case... okay, let's go fight sharks?" Abu thought that he had agreed to it anyway, so he might as well let the logistics department run it.
"No, no, no, let's forget about shark fighting. I think Menghu is better." Xing Dao quickly refused.
"Why?" Abu was curious.
"Manager, think about it. After Dousha sponsored qg, Nakano broke all ties and sponsored vg. vg was directly demoted. This year, it sponsored LGD..." Xing Dao came over one item after another.
"Hiss—" Abu gasped: "It is indeed!"
The series of incidents in Dousha TV, like beef noodles and Haidilao, can’t help but make people worry.
It's not superstition.
But there are some things that you would rather believe that they exist than not believe that they don’t exist.
"That's right!" Xing Dao actually didn't finish his sentence.
——After SKT won the Triple Crown, they signed a contract with Dousha. In the same year, they were swept out by SSG three to zero in the finals.
rng won the msi championship, signed a contract with Dousha, S series classic smile, and failed in the top eight.
There are also kt, kz, grf...
It is no exaggeration to say that this platform is written as a fighting shark and read as an e-sports graveyard.
Relatively speaking, Menghu is more than a little on the safe side.
"Then it's cute. How about it starts airing at 8 o'clock tonight? I'll help you contact a wave of publicity." Abu is a good person and will do it to the end.
"No problem, thank you manager!" Xing Dao was overjoyed.
"If you really want to thank me, just play the game well." Abu waved his hand.
"That's a must!" Xing Dao said firmly.
Pack up what you need to bring, board the bus and head to the airport.
After a four-hour flight, we arrived at our destination.
During the process, the operations personnel at the main edg base have contacted the person in charge of the Menghu TV division, produced banners and large-screen scrolling posters, and placed advertisements and troll posts on other media and post bars to attract traffic.
The momentum is quite huge.
Even players who only watch games and don’t surf the Internet much have heard the news from friends, classmates, colleagues, etc.
can do this.
On the one hand, it is the physical blessing of edg itself.
On the other hand, the person in charge of the Menghu TV division is very optimistic about Xing Dao's performance.
I feel like a newcomer who has just entered the World Finals has such a performance. Even if he fails this time, he will definitely become very famous in the future.
Therefore, no effort was spared in publicity.
When Xing Dao got off the plane with the team, transferred to another officially prepared e-sports hotel, adjusted his computer, plugged in peripherals, and logged into the new account he had just reviewed to start the live broadcast, his popularity instantly reached seven digits.
The base is one million.
Moreover, unlike some "haunted houses" that appear to have high statistics, they are actually empty and can't generate a few barrages per minute.
The number of real viewers in the Xingdao live broadcast room is also quite amazing.
"Coming, coming!"
"First!"
"You played well today."
"I heard that the anchor's name is Xing Daorong. Is it true or false?"
"Why don't you show your face?"
"What's the excavator's secondary attachment?"
"i am Groot."
"Come on lgd!"
"..."
"..."
"Ahem, cough, cough, good evening everyone."
Xing Dao has never eaten pork and has seen pigs running around. He is familiar with the road: "The reason why I don't show my face is because I am a good-looking anchor and cannot show my face easily."
"But if someone creates a treasure map, I can blow the factory director's head off live!"
