Chapter 660 Preparing for MSI
"It's beautiful to win~"

"Tongfu has made a lot of money this time!"

Zhang Zhaoyang sighed with emotion: "If I had known that Korean DOTA was at this B level, Emperor Star would have formed a second team to wreak havoc there, and Tongfu would not have been able to make all the money."

He wasn't talking about the bonus, but the popularity.

After beating Korean Dota violently and still being a substitute team, Tongfu made a lot of money this time.

Together with this, a new advertising slogan has been launched - Tongfu bowl of porridge, enjoy DOTA!

"Who could have imagined that Koreans are so good?" Mo Yu helplessly spread his palms after hearing this, and said sadly: "The Koreans really shot themselves in the foot in this competition. The most important thing is that it also affects others. Dota's own players in Korea There aren’t many of them, and after this Super Invitational Tournament, no one will play anymore.”

Anyone who thinks about it knows that the Korean professional DOTA team was completely wiped out and failed to win a game. In the end, it even made an outrageous move in which the first player could not defeat the substitutes.

So as a DOTA player, would you still want to play?

I definitely won’t play anymore!

“I don’t know how many people will quit the game. There aren’t many players in the Korean server. This time it hits a major artery.”

Mo Yu sighed deeply.

It's exciting to see Tongfu play well, but the collapse of the Korean server also breaks his heart!
At the end of the game, he logged on to Korean social media to check relevant information. When he searched for DOTA, all the words below were "garbage game, ruin my youth," "RNM, quit," and "loss of power and humiliation to the country."

Korea’s angry youth are not polite at all!
Putting themselves in their shoes, Mo Yu felt that facing a game like DOTA that made them feel ashamed, just scolding was enough restraint.

He thought about it and felt that he should call Zhang Hengbo later and tell him to be careful and not to randomly collect express delivery recently. The company should hire more security guards. Personal safety is the top priority.

Zhang Zhaoyang laughed beside him, which made Kuku happy: "Hit the passenger car by mistake, haha, forget it, don't think too much, just have fewer people, at least you haven't shut down the service yet, right?"

"That's impossible to say."

Mo Yu shook his head.

In the previous life, DOTA2 Korean server was completely shut down after a series of defeats. Now Tongfu has made a good start.

But he was too lazy to continue thinking about it.

Even without DOTA, the company still has so many games in South Korea, and it can still make back what it deserves.

The top priority now is this year’s GAG mid-season invitational tournament.

"The Spring Finals seem to be over soon? Who are the top three in the standings now?" Mo Yu asked. He had not paid attention to GAG's game situation for a while and was far less familiar with it than Zhang Zhaoyang.

"The current ranking of points is EDG, second is OMG, and third is IG. There is a high probability that it will be these three teams." Zhang Zhaoyang said: "It will be the spring finals soon. After OMG and IG are finished, the rest is EDG and the winner competes for the championship.”

"EDG, IG, OMG?" Mo Yu was slightly surprised: "None of you entered?"

"No." Zhang Zhaoyang knew that he was asking a few teams that he had frequent contact with on weekdays. At this time, he shook his head and said helplessly: "Emperor Star and LGD have not entered, RNG is basically ranked fourth and has no chance, and WE has no chance in the playoffs. Don’t even think about it, the new teams that came in didn’t make it.”

"This year is EDG's year of kings. They are truly outstanding in the Spring Split. Their operational tactics are very good. Anyway, they are invincible in the GPL, but"

Seeing the hesitation and dark color on Zhang Zhaoyang's face, Mo Yu asked: "But what?"

"Anyway, I think EDG is very strong in China, but I'm afraid that it will stretch out in international competitions." Zhang Zhaoyang elaborated: "Their operating tactics were learned from GCK, and you also know the factory director. The soft-footed shrimp in the competition, the king of KDA, all kinds of pig raising in the civil war, and all kinds of crotch pulling in the foreign war.”

“It’s hard to say!”

When Mo Yu heard this, he remembered that when the factory director played in international competitions, his performance was indeed very poor and he did not have the momentum to run rampant in the country.

"The factory director is like this, but he has just changed to a new team this year, so maybe he will have a new look." "Who knows?"

Zhang Zhaoyang spread his hands and then asked with interest: "I heard that it is planned to be held in Europe this year? How many wild card regions are there to participate?"

"Ah."

Mo Yu nodded: "We decided to hold it in Europe last year, but the specific venue hasn't been decided yet. The wild card team has been established for a long time, so we can't give it a chance, right?"

GAG has developed to this day.

There are already nine wild card divisions including Vietnam, Brazil, CIS, Japan, Turkey, Thailand, Oceania, Latin America and Saudi Arabia.

Follow MSI's rules.

North America, Europe, South Korea, China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia are the five major competition regions. The top three in each region's spring split will automatically advance to MSI.

There has been no announcement yet for the wild card division.

"What do you mean by the number of participating teams? There are also three wild cards?" Zhang Zhaoyang was very interested: "Then we are going to do this. No 42 teams are allowed to participate this year? Oh, it's a big scene!"

He only cares about the excitement. The more people there are and the bigger the scene is, the more excited he will be.

When he thought of 42 teams competing in the competition, he instantly imagined how spectacular it would be.

Mo Yu glanced at him, waved his hand and said, "42 teams? I'm afraid you're overthinking."

"It's definitely impossible! The strength of the wild card division is just a fraction of that of the five major divisions. If three spots are given, what will the five major divisions say then? Someone will definitely make a fuss."

"And there are 42 teams, how long will the fight last?"

"For this competition system update, I have asked the people below to draft a new competition system. To put it simply, it means adding a new qualifying tournament before the group stage."

"The three quotas for the five major divisions remain unchanged, but only the top two teams in the spring split can directly enter the group stage. The third place in each division will enter the qualifying stage with the first place in the nine wild cards, and will be selected through group duels. Six teams entered the group stage.”

"Then the group stage will be drawn again."

Mo Yu explained.

"Play-in round?"

Zhang Zhaoyang understood it after just a moment's thought.

A total of twelve teams were divided into three groups by drawing lots, with four teams in each group. Finally, they faced off within the group, and two teams from each group advanced.

In the end, there were 12 teams in the qualifying stage and 16 teams in the group stage.

It's just that there is no need to determine the ranking in the qualifying stage, and you can directly advance within the group to complete the promotion.

"Would this method be a bit unfair? After all, drawing lots in groups may be considered unreasonable by many people."

"There's nothing we can do about it." Mo Yu said: "Sometimes luck is also a part of strength. Besides, again, if you want to win the championship, you have to be brave and brave. No matter how strong the team is, you have to fight it. "

"You're not even eligible for bonus points in the qualifying rounds, so it doesn't matter if it's slightly unfair."

"After all, no competition system can be absolutely fair!"
