Create a great era of e-sports.

Chapter 437: Justifying the name of e-sports

“Can’t we really have a stronger coach?”

"I can't!"

"Is there nothing you can do?"

"no way!"

"."

After a while of entanglement, Yan Kaixian reluctantly accepted the reality, sat down on a chair, lit a cigarette and started smoking, sighing repeatedly.

Mo Yu was amused when he saw this.

Such a big leader, whose vital interests are at stake, has to do everything possible to entangle him and put on such a posture.

pity.

He really can't do it.

Not to mention anything else, if Jingzhou chooses the Korean team, if the Jingzhou team wins the championship again, then all kinds of conspiracy theories will definitely come out.

With Lu Zibo as the champion mid laner, he is already strong enough on paper. How about adding a champion coach?
What will the outside say?
Netizens from the participating regions must be clamoring for unfairness, and they might even blame him for it.

He didn't want to get the bad name.

Moreover, there will be more than one Provincial Games, and there will be higher-level events in the future!

The lessons learned from the past are there. He still clearly remembers the memory of retired coach Zhu Kai being trolled by the entire Internet.

Netizens’ eyes were sharp and clear, and none of them could escape after the game.

"never mind."

After smoking a cigarette, Yan Kai waved his hand, stood up and said: "Everyone will rely on their strength when the time comes."

three days later.

All twelve teams have been selected and gathered to prepare for the next Provincial Games.

In this audition, several young geniuses emerged, including even junior high school students who have just entered the second grade of junior high school. They are very skilled in operating techniques and have extremely amazing reflexes. They can face online situations without vision. The stone man in the grass suddenly dodged his ultimate move in an instant, which was astonishingly fast.

There happened to be a GDL club manager at the scene at that time, and he wanted to see if there were any good players. When he saw this scene, he immediately became interested and wanted to sign this person.

However, this child's family is relatively strict. It's okay to represent the city in the Provincial Games, but it's not so safe to let his son play in a professional league.

In the end, the talks were not concluded, and the exact news did not come out.

On the contrary, this incident attracted many clubs to send people to the scene to see if there are any good prospects. If there are any, they can dig them out to cultivate the new generation.

The day.

After the list is established.

Players and coaches from each team officially settled in the sports bureaus of each city. Under the leadership of the staff, they got to know their teammates and participated in the expedition ceremony.

Athletes from many other sports are very curious about them and have come to inquire, wanting to know more about the emerging sports of e-sports.

In particular, several professional players attracted everyone's attention.

After a short training camp, we finally arrived at the opening day of the Provincial Games.

In the Jingzhou Stadium, arrangements have been made for a long time. All athletes from dozens of events, large and small, will hold the opening ceremony here and then be allocated to other competition venues.Originally, regarding the GAG ​​competition venue, the organizing committee was very inclined to arrange it at the Competition Center.

However, it was the critical time of the playoffs. There were games almost every day at the Jingjie Center. There was no way to stagger the time, so in the end they had to change to another indoor venue.

Mo Yu also went there to see it.

The venue is relatively small, with only about 4.500 seats on site, and the stage is very simple. All competition machines are provided by Mojing Sports. There are many posters hanging on the site, which is completely incomparable with professional leagues.

However, this is the first time that e-sports has participated in such a formal sports meeting. The organizing committee did not have many arrangements. However, Mo Yu called on members of the professional clubs to help and decorated the scene slightly, creating an overall atmosphere. .

In addition, due to the short duration of the Provincial Games, the entire schedule is also very intensive.

Twelve teams are divided into ABCD4 groups. The first two days of the group stage will be a single round-robin BO1, and the top two in each group will advance.

Subsequently, the eight teams that advanced were divided into two groups, AD and BC. A double round-robin BO8 was conducted again within the group, and the top two teams also advanced.

At this point, the remaining four teams draw lots to hold the BO4 semi-finals. The two winning teams advance, and the losing team decides on No. 3.

Finally, there is the finals.

It took a total of 6 days, just within one week of the Provincial Games.

The entire schedule has many events and tight time. It is not only a test for the players' skills, but also a severe experience for their physical strength, spirit, resistance to fatigue, and resistance to hunger.

E-sports is a game that extremely requires the brain to function. Often in order to maintain their condition, many clubs have begun to stipulate that players are not allowed to eat before playing in order to maintain blood supply to the brain.

There are so many games in the Provincial Games, especially in the first few rounds. A team may have to play several games in the same day, and the times are staggered. In order to maintain their condition, they only eat snacks at most, which is a great test for the physical fitness of the players.

Opening day.

In the center stadium.

Mo Yu brought several club owners and managers over to attend the opening ceremony.

"It's my first time to participate in such a formal sports meeting. It feels really weird."

Zhang Zhaoyang looked around.

The entire venue was filled with red flags, and there were many spectators who came to attend the opening ceremony. It felt like attending a school sports meeting when I was studying.

"How does it feel?" Mo Yuxiao asked.

"I can't tell." Zhang Zhaoyang shook his head.

Deng Junhua said next to him: "Did you develop a sense of identity? It's like we used to have small fights in private, but now we have finally moved to the sun."

Zhang Zhaoyang pondered for two seconds, nodded and said: "Absolutely."

Li Xiaofeng said: "I want to see it because in the minds of the world, sports meets are formal competitions that only recognized events can participate in. The leagues and S games we play are only private in the final analysis. , but the sports meeting is of an official nature, giving people a sense of legitimacy."

"Mr. Li is right." Mo Yu interjected: "The reason why I let e-sports join the Provincial Games is to prove their identity, and what they want is orthodoxy. Only when they enter the officially organized sports games, no matter how big or small, they will always be harmonious. It’s different from other competitions, what you need is a sense of identity.”

"With this time, in the eyes of the world, e-sports will no longer be a toy to lose one's ambition, but will become a truly recognized competition!"

"Yes." Zhang Zhaoyang patted his thigh and said suddenly: "To be honest, the competitions we held just gave people the feeling that they were not serious competitions. Many people felt that taking this as a career was not doing their job properly and it was a waste of youth. Now that we have entered the Provincial Games, I believe it should shut up many people."

"It's impossible to shut up." Mo Yu shook his head and said: "There are always people who are full of malice towards games, especially some old-fashioned parents. Just trying to shut them up at the Provincial Games cannot be done. The only way is to keep trying. Only by clearing the name of e-sports can we change people’s stereotypes.”

"This is the beginning. When e-sports competitions enter the Asian Games and Olympic Games in the future, they will shut up and the stigma of e-sports will be eliminated!"
