Chapter 52: Bitterness with astringency, astringency with sourness
The remaining two second seeds are ANX from Group A and RNG from Group C.
Because the previous pits are full, we can only allocate the remaining positions according to the rules.
The matchup list has been confirmed:
Left half:
SKT vs H2K
SSG vs ANX
Right half:
EDG vs C9
ROX vs RNG
The representatives of the two warring parties shook hands and left the field together.
The eight clubs have begun preparations and are heading to the Black Army Pier in Chicago, Illinois, for the quarter-finals on October 14.
“Swish, swish, swish…”
Xing Dao was packing up peripherals when he suddenly smelled an indescribable odor.
Following the direction, he turned his gaze to the door.
I found that the factory director who had just returned was holding a yellow object in a plastic box and eating it happily, making snoring sounds unconsciously.
"Durian is too much!" Meiko raised her hand and fanned it 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 would believe it even if you said it was shit." Xing Dao agreed.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!" The factory manager immediately retorted: "Durian smells bad but tastes good; shit not only smells bad, but also tastes bitter and astringent, astringent and sour, and sticks to your teeth and throat."
"Brother from the factory, I have some wine." Xing Dao found a tactful way to say it.
"Where did the wine come from... No, I don't have any story! I heard it from others, do you understand?" The factory director realized that something was wrong.
"I understand, I understand. How can I not understand this? I don't have any other advantages except that I keep my mouth shut. Okay..." Xing Dao gestured to the side.
"Yes, yes, I'm also tight-lipped!" Meiko held up three fingers: "I will never tell anyone."
"You two... fucking..." The factory manager felt helpless.
"Alright, alright, stop messing around and get in the car." Abu laughed for a long time before coming over to organize the group: "Check all your peripherals and personal belongings. If you miss anything, you won't have time to come back and get it. If you have any questions, just come to me."
The last sentence is just a formality.
did not expect.
Xing Daozhen came over and said, "Manager, I want to do a live broadcast."
????
live streaming?
Abu was puzzled.
We are preparing for the game, why broadcast it live... Besides, he is a substitute who has just joined the team not long ago and has not signed a contract with the platform.
I was about to refuse.
Considering the role played by Xing Dao, Abu thought he should ask first: "Why did you suddenly think of starting a live broadcast?"
"I felt that our performance in the group stage was okay. I'd better try to gain popularity while the heat is still there." Xing Dao found an excuse.
"Hmm..." Abu thought about it and felt it was understandable.
During the World Finals, the popularity of professional players reached a peak.
If he doesn't make too many mistakes and can carry a few games, the number of fans he attracts will be equal to the amount accumulated throughout the year.
Take this opportunity to start a side business...
Pretty smart.
"In principle, the club does not prevent players from broadcasting live."
Abramovich carefully considered his words: "But, no matter for the club or for you personally, the most important thing is always the results in the competition. Temporary popularity is nothing. The one who laughs last is the winner."
"Manager, don't worry. I understand all this." Xing Dao began to fool people: "Just broadcast it during the Rank game. It won't affect the training. You can show the other teams the first-person perspective operation. You can also release smoke bombs."
In the next few seasons.
When professional players go live, they basically don't show their real skills.
The game was a bloody massacre, and many players defended their home ranks.
As a result, most clubs do not conduct research because it has no reference value.
"That makes sense." Abu thought about it carefully: "You also had the same concept in Rank before? Putting out smoke?"
"Yes!" Xing Dao said firmly.
"In that case... okay, let's go fight sharks?" Abu thought that since he had already agreed, he might as well let the logistics department run it.
"No, no, no, forget about fighting the shark. I think the cute tiger is better." Xing Dao quickly refused.
"Why?" Abu asked curiously.
"Manager, think about it. After Dousha sponsored QG, the mid and jungle broke off relations and sponsored VG. VG was directly relegated. This year, it sponsored LGD..." Xing Dao listed them one by one.
"Hiss—" Abu took a breath, "Indeed it is!"
This series of events involving Dousha TV, like beef noodles and Haidilao, cannot help but make people worry.
Not superstition.
But there are some things that are better to be believed than not believed.
"So I think we should be careful." Xing Dao didn't actually finish his words.
——After SKT won the triple crown, they signed with Dousha. In the same year, they were swept out by SSG 3-0 in the final.
RNG won the MSI championship, signed a contract with Dousha, had a classic smile in the S series, and was eliminated in the quarterfinals.
There are also KT, KZ, GRF...
It is no exaggeration to say that this platform is written as Dousha and pronounced as e-sports graveyard.
Menghu is relatively safe.
"Then it's Menghu. How about starting the show at 8 o'clock tonight? I can help you contact the publicity department." Abu is a good person 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.
"Of course!" Xing Dao said firmly.
After packing up the things you need to take, you board the bus and head to the airport.
After four hours of flight, we arrived at our destination.
During the process, the operations staff in EDG's main base have contacted the person in charge of the Menghu TV division, produced banners and large-screen scrolling posters, and placed advertisements and water army posts on other media and forums to attract traffic.
The momentum is quite huge.
Even players who only watch the game and don't surf the Internet much have heard this news from friends, classmates, colleagues and others.
Can do this.
On the one hand, it is the size 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 that a newcomer who just made it to the World Finals can perform like this. Even if he loses this time, he will definitely become very famous in the future.
Therefore, no effort is spared in publicity.
When Xing Dao got off the plane and took a car to another officially prepared e-sports hotel, debugged his computer, plugged in peripherals, and logged into the newly reviewed new account to start a live broadcast, his popularity score instantly reached seven digits.
The base is one million.
Moreover, unlike some "haunted houses" that look high in stats, they are actually empty and only a few comments are posted in a minute.
The number of real viewers in Xing Dao’s live broadcast room is also quite astonishing.
"I'm 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 secondary system of the excavator?"
"I am Groot."
“Go LGD!”
“…”
“…”
"Ahem, good evening, everyone."
Xing Dao has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run, so he is familiar with the process: "The reason why I don't show my face is because I am a good-looking anchor, and I can't show my face easily."
"But if someone gives me a treasure map, I can blow the factory manager's head off live!"
