Chapter 372 Internet Cafe League
In addition to online publicity, Wang Tao is also actively communicating with Lu Bin on offline Internet cafe promotion.

Offline projection is the advantageous project of Mountain Mountain Dew. Unlike other game companies, when Shen Lang asked Lu Bin to reorganize the push team, all the push salesmen became full-time employees of the company. The salary is not high, but the win is Stable and secure.

This time, the entire game industry is clearing local push personnel, but Mountain Dew is calm. The offline Internet cafes that were originally fiercely competitive have suddenly become empty. There is no need to worry about some materials being damaged by colleagues.

Of course, their leisure time is not too long. With the [League of Legends] national server closed beta, the Internet cafe league + college league will also officially open the registration mode.

In addition, the [League of Legends] professional league is also under preparation, all of which require a lot of manpower to organize.

Li Ming is a very ordinary salesperson of Mountain Dew Games. His daily job is to visit the Internet cafes in his management area, maintain poster materials, cooperate with the Internet cafe owner from time to time, and organize some small Internet cafe competitions.

There are similar activities like [Ghost Blowing Lantern] and [Cross Fire] almost every month, and the rewards are divided into half by the Internet cafe owner and the company. Of course, the rewards of most Internet cafes are recharge cards, and the cost is relatively low.

"Hey, Xiao Li, what do you need to take care of today?" The owner of Daxiong Internet Cafe greeted with a smile.

Don't look at this guy who always has a smiling face. When he was young, he was a well-known gangster leader in the county. He had a bunch of younger brothers. Big Bear was his nickname in the Jianghu before, but he got married and had children later, so he didn't make it anymore. I messed up, opened an Internet cafe, and lived my own little life.

Although he is no longer a gangster, his reputation is still there. Ordinary gangsters dare not make trouble in his Internet cafe. On the contrary, he has attracted many middle school students, and the business of Daxiong Internet cafe is still quite good.

Li Ming took out a flyer from his backpack with a smile, and said seriously: "It's really something, you see, the [League of Legends] Internet cafe league is about to be held, this time, it's not a small competition in our county, but a nationwide competition." For super-large competitions in the region, the prize money for the champion of the division is 10 RMB! The runner-up also has [-] RMB!"

Big Bear snatched the flyer as soon as he heard it, and almost tore it to pieces.

"Mr. Ge, the bonus is so high? These young people must be crazy! Your company is so generous."

There is also a reason why Big Bear is so caring. Internet cafe leagues are a good means of publicity, just like the previous Internet cafe owners would recruit some CS, Warcraft, and StarCraft masters to reside in their Internet cafes, which can bring a lot of customers. source.

A few days before each Internet cafe competition, the attendance rate of the Internet cafe would directly explode. In addition to those who really came to practice, there were also a large number of ordinary players who came to watch the masters play games, not only the attendance rate, but also mineral water and instant noodles. Sales will also skyrocket.

The smile on Li Ming's face reveals a sense of confidence. The performance of Dew Games has been steadily increasing over the years. Although there are not many games on hand, each one can bring huge profits. Pushing the salesman not only makes the work easy, but also provides security. Naturally, they have a sense of belonging to the company.

"This Internet Cafe League is divided into seven divisions: North China, Northeast China, East China, Central China, South China, Southwest, and Northwest. If the team plays in the National Internet Cafe Competition, the prize money will be even higher."

Da Xiong was stunned when he heard that: "I'm a good boy, but your company has to be the best. How dare ordinary game companies spend so much money!"

The main purpose of setting up the Internet Café League and the College League is actually to train new players for professional teams. After all, there is no such thing as youth training in mainland e-sports clubs at this time.

Through the Internet cafe league, some amateur players can enjoy the professional meal, which also creates a better competitive atmosphere for the folks.

At least in the first few years of the professional league, this is necessary.

This is also the main reason why Shen Lang is willing to spend a lot of money on these amateur events.

Daxiong smiled and said to Li Ming: "Hey, let's see if the prizes of this competition can be directly exchanged for our Internet cafe's recharge card."

Before he finished speaking, Li Ming shook his head directly: "Don't think too much about it, the prize money for this competition will be cashed out on the spot by the company's top management, unless you can convince our boss."

After hearing this, Da Xiong immediately dismissed the idea: "Let's forget it, how big is your boss, I can't even see anyone."

"It's good that you know." Li Ming said to Big Bear in a low voice.

"Actually, this is an opportunity. I heard from our boss that the company is preparing for a professional league. If you have the foresight to find some good seedlings and build a professional team, it will definitely make more money than you can do with this Internet cafe!"

Big Bear's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and then asked: "Is the prize money in this professional league high?"

"Professional leagues not only have bonuses, but also brand sponsorship in the future. Anyway, the company eats meat, and you can drink soup to make you fat." Li Ming patted Big Bear's belly and laughed.

Da Xiong nodded in agreement: "That's right, the strength of your company is nothing to say."

"That's fine, I've notified the matter, you can figure it out, I'll go to the next one." Li Ming said and left Daxiong Internet Cafe.

After Li Ming left, Da Xiong fell into thinking. He was originally a quick-witted person, and he made a lot of money in the early years of opening Internet cafes, but with the rise of Internet cafes these years, these grassroots teams can only struggle to survive. Now This bowl of rice is not good.

And e-sports is a new industry with great room for development. The only disadvantage is that this thing is too new, and no one knows whether it can make money.

If it was another game company, he would definitely not be a bird. However, Mountain Dew Games' reputation over the years is here, and this game company's behavior style has always been very stable.

As Li Ming said, when one's own strength is insufficient, if one wants to make a fortune, one has to cling to other people's thighs.

Thinking of this, Big Bear gritted his teeth and decided to start with the Internet Cafe League and try it out. If he can get a good ranking, he will take a gamble and form a professional team.

So, Big Bear began to pay attention to those players in Internet cafes who were good at playing [League of Legends], and even took him to do a lot of homework to understand this game.

However, to Big Bear's disappointment, there are only a few expert players in his Internet cafe, and the rest are novices whose operations are even worse than his.

Even the few who played well were just a little better than normal players, and there were no amazing masters.

With this group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals, let alone playing professionally, it is difficult to reach the city level even in the Internet cafe league. What should we do?

Daxiong suddenly thought of an idea, go to other Internet cafes to see if there are any seedlings in this regard.

Of course, Big Bear can’t go by himself, and other Internet cafes will definitely receive notifications from the Internet Cafe League soon. It’s hard to get people when he goes, and there might be conflicts. It’s not that he is afraid of trouble, but that it’s unnecessary After all, they all open Internet cafes in the same county, and they don't see each other when they look up. There's no need to make the relationship so stiff, and it's not good for everyone if they tear up their faces.

So Da Xiong called his nephew who was still in junior high school over.

"Hey, uncle, how dare you let me come to your Internet cafe to surf the Internet today? Are you afraid that my mother will find out?" The nephew said foolishly.

Daxiong patted him on the head angrily: "I called you here for a serious business, come on, let me show you a game first."

"Game? What's the business?" The nephew was at a loss.

Daxiong directly turned on a computer, and then opened the [League of Legends] client.

"No, it's this game."

Daxiong wants his nephew to help him find someone, so he naturally wants to let him know what kind of players are good, but Daxiong himself is too picky, which makes his nephew feel disgusted for a while.

"You still teach me at your level, get up and let me do it!" the nephew said disdainfully.

Da Xiong glared at his nephew: "Your skin is itchy, isn't it?"

The nephew couldn't help thinking of the fear of being dominated by his uncle, and smiled softly: "I'm telling the truth, I'm also a VS first room player anyway, so I don't need to teach such a simple game at all."

"Okay, if you don't play well today, let's see how I deal with you!" Big Bear said angrily.

The nephew sat down on the chair confidently, but he did not directly enter the game, but opened the hero interface, and looked at their skills one by one.

This [League of Legends] is much more friendly than DOTA. You can directly view the skill demonstration videos of each hero.

At this time, there were only 32 heroes in [League of Legends], and my nephew finished watching it in about an hour. Under Daxiong's impatient eyes, my nephew started the first round of matching.

The nephew directly chose Galen, the reason is very simple, this hero looks like the Juggernaut in DOTA, although there is also a Wuji Juggernaut in the League of Legends, but in his opinion, he doesn’t even have the windmill skill, so he deserves to be called Juggernaut?
The matching was completed soon, and I entered Summoner's Canyon. My nephew went out and bought a shield according to the equipment recommendation, as well as red medicine. After all, relying on line to make money is the foundation of competitive games.

After buying the equipment, the nephew controlled Galen and went on the road. During the closed beta stage, the players basically didn't understand the game, and no one competed with him for the order.

Coincidentally, Galen was facing off against Wuji Juggernaut, and his nephew learned the Q skill, because the skill introduction of this move comes with a silence effect, and when used, it also comes with acceleration. Of course, such a powerful skill must be learned first. .

So every time Galen's Q skill CD is ready, he Q Juggernaut, and then runs after Q, the opposite Juggernaut is obviously not a master, and after the silence effect ends, he directly Qs on Galen, but stands still. In the pile of small soldiers, how could he beat Galen with an A, and soon half of his health was gone, so he ran back quickly.

"Old man, look, this is the way to play this game. It's not like you, you know how to charge forward. When you fight the opponent's hero, the hatred of the soldiers will be concentrated on you. In the early stage, the soldiers are still fighting. It hurts." While operating, the nephew did not forget to teach Daxiong.

Big Xiong nodded secretly, this kid really has two skills, but on the surface, in order to maintain his dignity as an uncle, he still patted him: "Don't be shy, look at what you can, and I haven't seen you kill him until now!"

While speaking, Galen had been promoted to level three, and Big Bear directly added the E skill to level two, rushed over to face the Promise Sword Master with a Q, and then turned the windmill with the E skill.

The Promise Sword Master on the opposite side hadn't figured out the seriousness of the problem. He couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Galen rushing into his side's pile. After the silence effect ended, he played a Q and started to fight with Galen.

However, he soon discovered that Galen's E skill quickly killed a bunch of little soldiers with little blood left. Seeing that his blood volume was falling like crazy, the Sword Master of Promise wanted to escape, but found that he couldn't go away. I can turn on the W skill to recover blood, but unfortunately, the damage reduction and blood recovery effect of the first-level W skill are very mediocre. In the end, I still couldn't escape another Q skill from Galen.

Then it became Galen's personal show time. Nephew's last knife is very powerful. If you add the line, you can kill the opposite Wuji Juggernaut solo. When you reach the sixth level, you can't play directly on the opposite side. You can only hide under the tower. shivering.

In terms of outfits, the nephew also chose equipment with skill CD and attack power, opened the Q skill to rush up, then opened W and opened E at the same time, rushed into the crowd and killed the Quartet. One Q and one E were taken away, and the one who was a little tougher did not die, so he added a big move, and quickly completed his first triple kill.

Listening to the sound effect of triple kill coming from the earphones, my nephew also began to like the pleasure of killing like this.

In 10 minutes, the opponent surrendered. Watching the crystal explode, the nephew curled his lips: "How can there be surrender in this game? Really, it's not fun!"

Blocking spring water in DOTA is a traditional project, and some players also enjoy the thrill of attacking and killing people with spring water, but for novice players, the game experience is very bad.

[League of Legends] The protection for novice players is still in place. The attack power of the spring water is simply abnormal. The only death of the nephew Galen was killed by flushing the spring water.

"You're really good, boy!" Da Xiong looked at his nephew in surprise, he didn't expect him to have two brushes!

Let the nephew play a few more games, and found that this kid was not a coincidence, so Da Xiong assigned the task to the nephew to go to other Internet cafes to hook up with game masters.

"Ahem, then if my mother catches me, go to the Internet cafe."

Da Xiong patted his chest and said, "Don't worry about this, I'll talk to your mother."

This is to play games according to the order, and I no longer have to worry about being dragged out of the Internet cafe by my mother and beaten up when I go home.

The nephew was naturally very happy. In the following period of time, he really hooked up several good players from other Internet cafes, and his level and understanding of the game also reached a new level.

After reaching level [-], the qualifying match started, and my nephew led several other people directly to the platinum division.
