Friday, July 22nd.
The members of H4 E-Sports Club set foot on Jingzhou for the first time.
Team Leader Su and Team Leader Guan respectively lead the GOG branch and ioi branch of the H4 club to participate in the competition held in Jingzhou this weekend.
The schedule is very simple. The final is BO5, and the others are BO3. A total of eight teams adopt a single-elimination system. A total of seven games will be played on Saturday and Sunday.
Although this schedule is a little tight, it makes sense. After all, the events are more intensive and it is easier to maintain the popularity in the short term without making the audience lose their patience.
What makes Team Leader Su feel more outrageous is that the GOG and ioi competitions are actually held at the same time, this Saturday and Sunday!
Do we have to crowd together and let the audience choose one?
Moreover, both of these are Tenda’s games. Do you want to compete with yourself for popularity? Fighting in a nest?
Wouldn’t it be better to spread the two games over two weekends?
It’s really a bit confusing.
However, what everyone doesn’t know is that GOG and ioi are really fighting in the same nest now.
There is a reason for this timing.
Preparing for the game requires contacting the team, preparing the venue, formulating the schedule, etc. The preparation time of both parties is almost the same.
Whoever starts the game first will get more attention!
For GOG players, if they know that there is an ioi game this week, and the GOG game will only start next week, then they will probably take a look at the ioi game this week.
The same is true for ioi players.
But when the GOG game starts next week, ioi players may not go to watch it.
The one held first will always gain more popularity, just like many mobile phone manufacturers trying to get the first launch.
Therefore, Tenda Games and Yangyang Games are not giving in to each other in this regard, and they both want to get ahead.
However, the preparation time for the competition cannot be shortened, and the competition must be held on Saturdays and Sundays when the flow of people is relatively large. No one wants to fall behind, so they are rushing here and there, and the time for preparations for the competition cannot be compressed. , and ended up being squeezed in on the same weekend.
After the time is finalized, it is too late to change it, so we can only fight!
In terms of player base, there is no doubt that GOG has the advantage.
But ioi has also spent a lot of money on promotion this time. In addition to inviting several well-known domestic first-tier clubs, it also invited several foreign clubs to create a "World Championship" reputation.
This is very attractive to many viewers. After all, the best and most exciting things are always foreign wars.
Both sides have put in a lot of advertisements to warm up the promotion. Whether ioi can turn around in the Chinese server depends on this.
If it is still suppressed by GOG, it will be more difficult to promote in the future.
"Team leader Su, let's go to the hotel first. Let's cheer together and strive to take home the trophy and meet victoriously!" After the team leader finished speaking, he took a taxi with the team members and left.
The competition venues on both sides are different venues in Jingzhou. They are quite far away. It is clear that the audience cannot be passive and can only choose one side to watch.
So the two teams of the H4 Club also stay in different hotels, making it more convenient to go to the competition venue.
Of course, the organizer will also be responsible for hotel and food related expenses.
Team leader Su is also preparing to stop the car and go to the hotel.
At this time, captain Pang Ling suggested: "Team leader Su, it's still early, so we can skip going to the hotel first. Wouldn't it be better to go to the DGE club and play a training match with Huang Wang and Jiang Huan? ?"
Team leader Su nodded: "That's right! It's just a good time to test the results of our recent training."
After DGE Club left the Magic City, H4 Club. While training hard, I repeatedly watched the videos of the DGE team and made appointments with other clubs for online training matches.
Progress is rapid!
The two teams of DGE were able to beat H4 in a four-on-six match for many reasons, including strong personal abilities, good teamwork and many unexpected tactical routines.
In addition, there is another very important point, which is the understanding of the game.
What should be done in each time period, what is everyone's responsibility, how to implement the tactical system... These contents have benefited everyone in the H4 Club a lot.
Imitating a cat and imitating a tiger, using this tactic to defeat other clubs, the effect is surprisingly good.
So, everyone is a little swollen and would like to have another match with everyone in the DGE club to see how much they have improved.
Leader Su sent a message to Zhang Yuan, and Zhang Yuan readily agreed and sent the location.
The members of the GOG branch of the H4 Club went directly to Mingyun Villa.
"At that time, we can just find an Internet cafe to play training matches, right?"
"I heard that there is a very famous Internet cafe in Jingzhou called Moyu Internet Cafe? It is said that the configuration is very good and the environment is good. I wonder if I will play training games there."
"Is the configuration really good?"
"Who knows, I feel like the hype online is a bit too much. Anyway, it's definitely better than the Internet cafe we often go to, but it's not much better, right? Anyway, let's take a look there..."
There were six members of the H4 Club. They took two taxis and arrived at Mingyun Villa about half an hour later.
Everyone was idle along the way, looking at the scenery outside.
The biggest feeling is: it is still far from the Magic City!
After all, JingzhouIt's just a second-tier city. There are no high-rise buildings like the Magic City, nor special buildings like the Oriental Pearl Tower. Looking around along the way, all I saw were ordinary city scenery, nothing special. .
This made everyone feel more balanced and even gave them a little sense of superiority.
Because I have always heard that Jingzhou is very livable. Internet cafes, takeaways, express delivery, etc. are very convenient. Some people even boast that Jingzhou is better than Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, so the members of the H4 Club Quite dissatisfied.
Now it seems that in terms of high-rise buildings, Jingzhou is still tightly arranged by the Magic City.
Two taxis stopped at Mingyun Villa one after another. Seeing these spacious villas, the team members' faces showed a little bit of envy for the first time.
It was much more elegant than the villa they lived in on the outskirts of Shanghai!
However, considering that this is mainly due to the land price, the villa in the Magic City can rival the two here, and everyone's psychology is a little more balanced.
Pang Ling, the captain of H4, was also looking at these villas and suddenly realized that he seemed to have an inexplicable comparison mentality since he came to Jingzhou.
When he realized this, Pang Ling himself was a little surprised.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not surprising at all that this kind of comparison mentality appears.
Because everyone in the H4 Club was unconvinced after being beaten by the DGE Club!
Everyone is a high-scoring passerby, and they joined the H4 club only after going through trial training.
H4 Club is a well-established club in China. Many Internet-addicted teenagers are proud to join this club and become a professional player.
Pang Ling and others are very proud to be members of the GOG branch of the H4 Club.
However, the members of the DGE Club severely damaged their pride, crushing them both in terms of personal image and team strength.
How do the members of the H4 Club accept this?
Just like many martial arts heroes who work hard to enter a prestigious sect, but suddenly a small sect comes out of nowhere and beats you to pieces. Had a meal.
This must be a psychological imbalance!
So, everyone in the H4 Club naturally has this unbalanced mentality and is subconsciously comparing themselves.
When Pang Ling thought of this, he immediately became vigilant and warned himself to stay calm.
As a competitive athlete, maintaining mentality is a very important lesson.
Pang Ling took a deep breath and told himself not to think so much, but to concentrate on the next training match with the DGE club.
Zhang Yuan had already come out to greet him in advance.
"Leader Su! Please come inside, please come inside."
Zhang Yuan is very enthusiastic.After all, DGE Club must have good relations with other domestic clubs in the future, and it is always right to cultivate more connections.
“Our training base is relatively simple, so everyone can sit wherever they want. It’s almost noon, so I ordered takeout for everyone. After everyone has finished eating, we will go to Moyu Internet Cafe to play a training match. "
Leader Su nodded: "Okay, guests are welcome. Brother Zhang, just look at the arrangements."
The H4 team members walked in with great interest. I looked around and saw that this villa also had a yard. The green plants in the yard were well trimmed. It was obvious that there was someone responsible for it.
However, when they came to the training hall, everyone in the H4 Club was silent.
Pang Ling didn't know how to express his feelings at this time.
Is this what you mean by "the training base is relatively crude"?
This villa belongs to Mr. Li. After buying it, it basically maintained its original decoration and did not make a big show of extravagant decoration.
However, the original decoration is already finely decorated!
Zhang Yuan went out of his way to purchase various furniture, computers, etc., so the entire training hall looked harmonious and formal, not like a B&B.
When Pang Ling compared the training base with H4, he immediately saw the obvious gap!
The villa at the H4 Club is rented. There are some furniture and sundries from the landlord that cannot be thrown away, so we can only make do with it.
So it will appear nondescript.
Some of the furniture belonged to the original landlord, and some were repurchased. The styles are not uniform, and none of them are good-looking. Not to mention the accommodation conditions, some sleep on bunk beds, and some have single sheets on the double bed. Many team members don’t even have a wardrobe, so they can only buy a simple wardrobe to hang clothes.
But looking at the DGE club, it’s completely different!
All furniture, including computer desks, wardrobes, sofas for resting, team members' beds, etc., are obviously purchased in a unified manner, with a unified style and appropriate sizes. Although there are more than ten tables in the training hall The computer desk does not feel crowded at all, but feels like it is the way it should be.
These computers are flashing with cool RGB lights and are very technological. They feel at least ten years ahead of the computers in the H4 Club.
In short, the environment here is similar to those filmed in many TV series. It seems to be a deliberate setting, and there is no "makeshift" place at all!
Pang Ling couldn't help but wonder, if this is called "relatively crude", then what is the name of the H4 training base?
Slum or garbage dump?
What was even more uncomfortable was Manager Su, who felt that this was a large-scale corpse-whipping scene.
When DGE Club visited H4 Club, he proudly introduced it to everyone.
Now that I think about what I boasted, the more I think about it, the more embarrassed I become. I don’t know how Zhang Yuan and the others could endure it at that time...
