Create a great era of e-sports.

"The 11th Yangcheng Asian Games is about to open on November 21. The roster of the Chinese national team GAG, which has attracted much attention recently, has been determined. The players are"

Relevant news was broadcast on the evening news of Jingzhou TV Station.

"Has everyone set off?"

Moyu turned off the TV.

"Yes." Yang Qiu said: "Today's noon flight will go directly to the Yangcheng Asian Games Village. In the afternoon, I have already received a call from there."

"That's good."

Mo Yu nodded and asked, "Are there any complaints from the club?"

"There must be some complaints. After all, it is a commercial club's operating model. It is inevitable to have ideas." Yang Qiu said: "But this time it is about national honor. No matter what, they can only complain a few words in private. Others I don’t dare to do it.”

"Ah That's good."

Mo Yu nodded slightly.

This Asian Games has no direct benefit to those clubs. They must have some ideas to let people go easily, which is unavoidable. But as long as they don't express dissatisfaction publicly, they can do it privately.

Although the bosses behind major clubs are many rich second-generation people who like to eat, drink and have fun, at least they know the general situation and understand the overall situation, and will not do stupid things.

"By the way, how many teams are participating this time?" Mo Yu asked again: "I heard that the organizing committee has sent out a message to invite teams from various countries to participate in the qualifiers, right? Is it better than we expected? many?"

The Asian Games stipulates that at least four countries or regions must participate before a new event can be included. GAG is definitely fine, but he is not sure how many teams there are.

The most optimistic estimate before the game was that there would be about ten.

Because in Asia, although GAG is spread across many countries, the number of players in many countries is not too large, and there are not even servers in their own countries.

"Yes, we have been invited. The actual situation is much better than we expected in advance." Speaking of this matter, Yang Qiu was also quite excited, and he even let it slip: "Mr. Mo, you probably can't imagine how many there are." Team registration.”

"Oh?"

Mo Yu also became interested when he heard this: "Looking at what you mean, there must be more than ten?"

"More than that!"

Yang Qiu shook his head.

Mo Yu noticed that he even used the word 'far'. Those three, four, five or six sticks must be used a lot, at least double them.

Looking at Yang Qiu again, there was an expression on his face that was absolutely impossible to guess.

Mo Yu couldn't figure it out for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he slowly reported a number that he thought should be about the same.

"twenty five?"

"That's a long way!" Yang Qiu laughed loudly: "Forty-five!"

"what?!"

Mo Yu was shocked: "There are actually forty-five teams? Didn't every country sign up?"

The number of participating countries in the Asian Games over the years has been around forty-five, and there is not much difference between them.

For example, in this year's Yangcheng Asian Games, the total participating teams are from 45 countries and regions in Asia.

As a result, Yang Qiu actually said that there were forty-five participating teams this time, so wouldn’t everyone have signed up?

Not all Asia is rich and powerful. Except for the monster house in East Asia, many other brothers' families are not very wealthy.

"I remember that GAG didn't even set up servers in many countries, right? There aren't many people playing games in those countries. Could it be that they also signed up?" Mo Yu was very surprised: "Then the competition will be so intensive that I won't be able to play in seven days. Is it over?"

"The fight is over." Yang Qiu smiled.

"How can we finish the game?" Mo Yu asked doubtfully: "Even if the group is BO1, there will be at least dozens of games. It can't be finished in seven days. What is going on? Don't be pretentious."

A little math will tell.

Even in a BO1 group, forty-five teams fought to the end, and the number of games alone was almost fifty.

The Asian Games only lasts seven days.

What's more, at the end of the game, it is definitely impossible to use BO1, and the actual number of games will be more.

Calculating this, it is definitely not that simple for forty-five teams to participate. There cannot be that many. There must be other situations.

"I knew I couldn't lie to you, but the forty-five teams I mentioned were actually not wrong."

Yang Qiu explained: "The GAG ​​event of this Asian Games is divided into two stages, the qualifiers and the main draw. In the qualifier stage, 45 countries have signed up to participate, but not that many actually entered the main draw."

After Yang Qiu's explanation, Mo Yu finally understood it.

simply put.

The GAG ​​project of the Yangcheng Asian Games is divided into two stages. One is the qualifiers, which will start before the opening of the Asian Games.

There are forty-five teams registered for this qualifier, and every country has signed up.

But in the Asian Games that most people understand, not all of these 45 teams will appear in the main game, but a group will be selected to enter the main game.

"I knew it wasn't that simple."

Mo Yu lightly kicked Yang Qiu and said angrily: "How dare you tease the boss, please tell me clearly now, or your year-end bonus will be deducted."

"No, no, no, Mr. Mo, I was wrong."

Yang Qiu immediately apologized and then explained in detail: "Based on the geographical division of Asia, the Olympic Council of Asia has divided a total of five regions: East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Central Asia, and West Asia, and organizes qualifiers in these five regions. , and a total of six teams were selected to participate.”

"Because the e-sports industry in East Asia is relatively developed and the competitive strength is stronger, there are three quotas in East Asia, and only one quota in the other four regions."

"Currently, a total of seven teams have advanced, namely the Chinese Hong Kong team, the Chinese Taipei team, and the South Korean team in the East Asia region; the Vietnam team in the Southeast Asia region; the Pakistan team in South Asia; the Kazakhstan team in Central Asia; and the Saudi Arabian team in West Asia. Team."

"In addition, since we are the host country, we automatically get a spot in the main draw."

"In other words, a total of eight teams will eventually enter the main draw, and they will compete through group draws in the main stage. In the end, the top two teams in each group will advance to the semi-finals, and the champion will be determined."

Only now did Mo Yu understand.

The forty-five teams that Yang Qiu mentioned were actually the qualifying rounds, and only eight teams actually entered the main draw.

"I see."

Mo Yu suddenly realized: "I said how could everyone participate? It turns out that's the case."

He has been busy with work and has not paid attention to the qualifiers. Moreover, the qualifiers themselves are not broadcast live, and there are not even online videos, so it is not clear.

Unlike Yang Qiu, he has been responsible for connecting with the Asian Organizing Committee and has a better understanding of various affairs.

"hey-hey."

Yang Qiu showed a rare evil smile. When he saw Mo Yu's unkind eyes, he quickly put away his smile and said seriously: "In addition, I have already made overall arrangements. I will start the publicity campaign immediately and vigorously use the slogan of winning glory for the country. South Korea, Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Island, Vietnam, and Saudi Arabia, which have close cooperation with the company, will also cooperate together, and I believe we will see relevant actions soon.”

There was no need for Mo Yu to give orders at all, he had already done the work ahead of time.

Seeing this, Mo Yu didn't know what to say, so he could only glare at him and said fiercely: "I won't do it next time!" (End of Chapter)
