Create a great era of e-sports.

Chapter 295 The 9 major seats are determined

Site selection, stage, equipment, manpower, broadcasting... everything was finalized, and the preparations for S1 accelerated rapidly.

The overwhelming advertising campaign was non-stop, and all equipment personnel rushed to the venues in six cities to start preparing for the next work.

Inside Moyu Company.

The commentators, hosts, and referees all entered the most intense working state, making final preparations for the following S1.

In particular, several new commentators will stay up late into the night studying team and player information every day.

at the same time.

The word eSports has gradually come out of the circle because of the large-scale promotion of S1, and has become familiar to more and more people.

S1's high bonuses, overwhelming advertising, interesting e-sports stories occasionally talked about by peers around you, and various news reports have attracted more people to join "Gods and Gods" and further get in touch with e-sports.

At the same time in the e-sports circle.

As more people learn about e-sports, many people in the e-sports-related industry have become curious. What they are most interested in is the current structure of e-sports. Many bosses have noticed that many teams now rely entirely on their passion. , without any financial support.

Some people began to think about it, thinking that e-sports is a very huge market that can help them improve their company's performance, and they are also eager for the high bonuses of S1.

So they began to contact some independent teams and agreed to provide funds to form small-scale teams, or simply recruit people on their own to compete for the qualifications for the upcoming S1.

Mo Yu learned that many teams have found sponsors and have their own training bases.

Although the so-called training bases of most of these teams are just a room with a few computers, and the wages are pitiful, they are just small workshops, which are not comparable to real professional clubs.

But at least the prototype is already there.

And there are some big bosses or rich second generations who are rich and willing to invest. These people have abundant funds, which are not comparable to those small workshops. They all directly spend money to imitate the current major professional clubs to start forming teams.

Among them, several teams that have achieved good results have established bases in Jingzhou, and some fast teams have already started training matches with teams such as LGD, Emperor Star, and WE.

At a time when e-sports is in full swing, several major cup competitions have also begun.

First it was early October.

The European and American Cup International Masters Tournament, co-organized by the two major competition regions in Europe and the United States, has officially begun.

Sixteen teams from the five major regions went to the Staples Center, home of the North American Lakers, to participate in the group stage and knockout rounds.

Some of these sixteen teams have been sponsored by financial sponsors and have transformed into professional teams, equipped with professional logistics teams. Once they appeared, they instantly shocked the audience and attracted attention.

Many people are lamenting that e-sports events are becoming more and more formal!
Kickoff day.

In order to attract spectators, the two major competition areas in Europe and the United States offered free ticket prices. Eventually, the venues with 2 people were packed to the brim.

The home audience cheered vigorously, and the away audience was not to be outdone.

The cheers are loud and clear!

It is said that the general manager of the Lakers who was invited to watch the game was shocked on the spot and said with emotion that the atmosphere of the e-sports arena is no worse than that of the NBA.

Finally after several days of competition.

The four teams successfully advanced and will go to the Pullman venue in Paris to compete in the final semi-finals and finals.

It is worth mentioning that unlike the previous Chinese teams that dominated the world, new names appeared among the four teams that advanced this time.

The top four are Emperor Star and WE respectively. Domestic LGD and IG did not qualify and only finished fifth and sixth. Although according to the rules, IG got No. 6 and qualified for S1 in order, but in the end they missed it. Semifinals.

There are two remaining teams, one of which is FNC in the European division. It is said that they have received sponsorship from a rich second-generation boss; the other is SKT in the Korean division, formerly FG. After being bought, they fired except Faker. The other four people recruited new players to build the team, and eventually took FG's place to participate in the European and American Cup.

The four teams flew to Paris the next day.

The day of the semifinals.

The Pullman venue was still full.At least 8% of the audience at the scene were fans supporting FNC, and the home atmosphere reached its climax.

In this warm atmosphere.

In the end, FNC was like a god, and became more and more courageous as they fought. They won WE and SKT in one breath, and were defeated by Emperor Star and fell into second place.

SKT only finished fourth due to insufficient adjustment.

WE third.

Emperor Star once again won the European and American Cup International Masters Championship!
The national anthem was sung at the Pullman venue. A small number of domestic fans stood up excitedly and sang together. European and American audiences were also generous and applauded one after another.

Thomas and Li Jiahui from the European Division personally presented him with trophies and medals, as well as a high bonus of [-] euros!

After returning home.

Emperor Star has been highly praised by domestic e-sports fans.

I don’t know who online disclosed the time of their flight back home.

That night, as soon as the plane landed, everyone in Emperor Star enjoyed the star treatment. They were given bouquets of flowers and applauded by more than thirty supporters who came from afar.

This scene attracted the attention of passers-by in the airport. People were wondering if it was some kind of teenage star team, and they even raised their mobile phones to take pictures.

The European and American Cup ended not long ago.

The last A-level event of the year, the Southeast Asian Division’s Sun Cup, was announced in Singapore.

This time.

The audience discovered that compared to the European and American Cups, there were fewer independent teams entering the Sun Cup. Among the sixteen teams, ten of them had similar configurations. Each team had complete personnel, including team leaders, coaches, analysts, and data scientists. , The logistics team has a clear division of labor!

Moreover, these teams are not just showing off, but have really improved their strength.

They have played a better competitive level, obviously have deeper research, and their tactics are obviously different from before. Although they are still far behind several veteran teams, there is no essential difference.

The audience could all see that the main reason why they couldn't beat the team was that the team didn't train well enough. Given time, there might not be a chance.

finally.

After ten days of fighting.

At the Singapore International Exhibition Center, amidst the fanatical shouting of 1 people, two teams from Southeast Asia, TPA and FW, advanced in a thrilling manner and obtained the qualifications for S1. North America's TSM also obtained a quota for S1.

The championship finally fell to LGD.

In this Sun Cup, LGD showed great power, swept away the decline, and defeated strong teams one after another. The players worked together and finally successfully won the club's first trophy, won the championship, and gained glory!

This is the end.

The Sun Cup is over!
A total of 9 teams from the five major regions, including LGD, IG, Emperor Star, WE, FNC, SKT, TPA, FW, and TSM, have already reserved their seats for S1.

Among the 9 seats, the Chinese team dominates 4 seats. There is no doubt about its strong strength. The prestige of the division has been completely established. The reputation of the first division has become even louder, bringing an unprecedented sense of oppression to the other divisions!

Discussions among e-sports fans can be seen everywhere on the overseas Internet.

It's the same inside the club, everyone is studying it. All the Chinese team's playing styles and tactics have become the focus of overseas teams' research. Every team is staring at them with a magnifying glass, and they are bound to find out their weaknesses!

At the same time, with the end of the Sun Cup, it also means that all three A-level events of "Gods and Gods" this year have been held, and 16 of the 9 seats in the World Finals have been taken.

The only opportunities left for the remaining teams are the 5 places in the internal qualifiers of each major competition area and the 2 places in the pre-game audition stage.

If you miss it, you can only wait until next year!
