CSGO: This player is too persuasive!

Chapter 109 Flying to London (1383)

"Then why did you suddenly decide without telling us?" Xu Nanfang frowned and said, "And can this thing really make money?"

He had also learned about CS1.6 before. He heard that those players spent the night in Internet cafes one by one, and even instant noodles were very luxurious things to eat. He couldn't help but feel worried.

"Brother, this is your information blind spot." Xu Beibei explained, "Professional players who play well now actually make a lot of money. My current weekly salary is 400 Euros."

"400 euros!" Xu Nanfang was a little surprised, "Do all professionals make money like this now?"

Xu Beifang continued to add: "And IEM Shanghai station, my prize money is about 8000 US dollars. This time I won the championship in Hong Kong, and I can share 4 US dollars in the follow-up."

"So many!!" Both Xu Nanfang and Wang Xiaoya were surprised by the content on the other end of the phone.

They are not underage students, they have officially come out to work, and they know how difficult it is to make money.

Xu Nanfang, as the third mate of an ocean-going ship, now only earns less than 2500 US dollars per month. .

In other words, the money my brother earned from playing games this summer is equivalent to 20 months of running a boat!
And although sailors are more miserable, they are also a very profitable industry.

But relatively speaking, the cost of running a ship in various countries is also very high.

"That uncle is very powerful." Wang Xiaoya said.

She opened a small flower shop in Suzhou by herself, and when the business is good, she makes a profit of five or six thousand a month.

She understands how exaggerated it is for an ordinary person to earn $35 in a summer vacation. Roughly, it should be [-] to [-].

For a moment, both of them fell into a state of shock, and hadn't woken up from the change of identity as a younger brother.

"Brother, I can't go to Taizhou Port this time. Tomorrow, I will go to London with the team for training. Next, I am going to play the Major. Please explain to my parents and me."

The eldest brother's concept is still relatively young, and it is just talking about beating himself.

But if this thing can't be explained clearly, dad will really get started.

"Flying to England?" Xu Nanfang was a little disappointed, it seemed that the watch could not be delivered this time.

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Nanfang knew that his younger brother could earn money in this profession, and also knew that his younger brother just kept his school status and chose to respect Xu Beifang's choice.

I just asked Xu Beibei to pay attention to safety when he was outside, not to conflict with others, and to ask the local embassy for help if he encountered something that could not be resolved.

"You have to work hard yourself! Playing in front of so many people, show off the demeanor of the old Xu family!!"

Xu Beifang smiled and nodded.

Now he is in a happy state.

The next morning, my dad called and gave me a lesson, but with my big brother as a buffer, I didn't criticize him too much.

Xu Beifang also asked his eldest brother to go to school to go through the formalities of suspension of study for him. He has already passed the gas with the counselor.

The counselors were very supportive. After all, this job was solved before graduation. Even the fact that Xu Beibei just won the Zotac Cup championship can be one of his achievements.

Can there be more students like this?
With the blessings of the counselors and family.

Together with the team, Xu Beibei officially embarked on the journey of the London Major

……

Hong Kong has a direct flight to London, so that they don't have to change planes halfway.

"It's the young man's first time going abroad. Are you nervous?" Before the plane took off, the kid sitting in the back row patted Xu Beibei's shoulder.

Because of Xu Beifang's relationship, under Tianlu's inquiry, they bought tickets for the same flight and went out together, at least they had a support.

"There's still a little bit."

Xu Beifang didn't hide his inner emotions, nodded and replied.

"It's okay. Flying here feels the same as flying from China to Hong Kong. It's no big deal." MO comforted Xu Beifang.

Although they are not members of the same team, their relationship is still good.

When Xu Beibei won the Suotai Cup before, all the Tianlu players also sent him congratulations.

"Everyone has their first time, but after you fly a few times, you will get used to it." MO said with the attitude of someone who has experienced it, "CSGO's profession is like this, because there is no alliance, most of the games are cup competitions, We need to go to all parts of the world to compete offline.”

"But thinking about the good, we can travel in various places for free." MO stretched his legs a little bit, "Of course, the premise is to solve the visa."

Hearing this, Xu Beifang smiled, then felt a little uncomfortable and quickly restrained himself.

But this way, the tension in my heart is indeed reduced.

"I'm going to be jet-lagged later! This thing is really annoying!" DD complained at the side.

Jet lag is a painful journey for most players, and there is not much time left for them this time.

The flight on the 31st will arrive in London on the afternoon of the 1st.

Then the game will officially start on the 5th. Before that, they will reverse the jet lag and enter the training state.

This will never be the result that a normal person wants.

Moreover, jet lag is not just a lack of energy. The pressure of the game and the poor state of the player are likely to cause physical problems for the players. Fever or cold are normal.

Xu Beifang also didn't experience the feeling of jet lag. Although he had experience in domestic sailing, the speed difference between ships and airplanes was still very big.

"Boy, let's interview you. It's the first time you participated in a Major. How do you feel now?" The kid made a microphone with his right hand and placed it in front of Xu Beibei's chin.

"It's okay. I took a look at the players in the qualifiers, and I can only say that it's difficult, but not particularly difficult." Xu Beifang replied relying on his recent record.

DD gave a thumbs up: "Young hero is so ambitious! It seems that he planned to participate in the Major for the first time and was defeated."

"You think everyone is a gun-slinger, right?" Xu Beifang also said with a smile.

DD didn't care either.

But compared to VP, they have more pressure.

Although they are ranked 11th in the world, their performance in the last two events was not good.

There are reasons for this, and there is also a problem of running-in.

But since IEM Shanghai, Tianlu has actually been getting better.

The three Chinese people are actively learning English, while the two Indonesians are also actively learning Chinese.

This is the result after the dispute, and it is also a result accepted by everyone in Tianlu.

In the next month, they set aside a certain amount of time every day to learn English.

Tianlu is very satisfied with their needs and even specially invited an English teacher to give them classes. Now the overall communication in the team is much smoother.

Seeing the changes in the team, although the study was very depressing, they still gritted their teeth and persisted.I can only hope for a good result in the next Major.

……

The cabin began to close, and at the prompt of the stewardess, they stopped chatting and began to wait for the plane to take off.

After a few small bumps, some return to smooth.

He admired the scenery more than [-] meters above the ground for a while. This thing was still very rare.

But after looking at it for a while, the scenery was the same, and there was nothing strange about it.

The taste of the plane meal was not very good, but looking at the slender and sensual long legs of the stewardess not far away, the meal tasted a lot better for a while.

After eating, the bored Xu Beibei also started to enter [Dungeon - Unlimited Deathmatch Space], working hard where no one noticed.

After fifteen hours of long-distance travel, they finally arrived at their destination - London!
Tianlu and everyone got off the plane and gathered together. Then Kuben began to contact the organizer of the event, and soon met a middle-aged man with thinning hair.

After a brief introduction by everyone, the event staff took them to the bus and began to drive to the hotel provided by the event team.

"In the next few days, there will be no additional activities for the Major. Only on September 9th, we will officially start the qualifiers. After the qualifiers, if we can enter the group stage, then there will be a promotional video. If there is an opportunity, we will notify you additionally at that time.”

The staff member explained the follow-up schedule to the players in the bus in English.

Then he took out a handful of event passes from a bag he brought with him, and handed them out one by one.

"Next, in order to prevent fans from mixing into the hotel, the hotel is directly booked this time. Whether entering or leaving the hotel or the venue, you need a pass. Without a pass, people will not be released." Middle-aged bald staff member reminded.

Xu Beibei raised his hand and asked, "What if I forget to bring my pass or lose my pass outside?"

Even if there is a reminder, it is normal for items to be lost.

"You can ask your coach or team leader, or ask the staff to help prove it. You all have your own photos on HLTV to prove it."

Everyone realized that this is true, as long as you can prove that you are a professional player, and whether it is a hotel or a venue, the staff can take you in.

"The hotel we provide is equipped with a training room, a cafeteria, and a gym..." Speaking of which, he looked at a certain muscle bar, "I heard that your competition strength depends on the level of the nearby gym? How about this time?" It seems that VP is about to explode!"

Pasha's eyes are obviously lit up. For a fitness fanatic, whether there is a good gym or not is very important to determine his mentality.

A good attitude is of great help to strength.

Others felt very good when they heard this information.

The competition group provides accommodation, training, food and even entertainment and fitness. This hotel basically solves all their problems during the competition.

"It seems that in the next few days, apart from buying some toiletries, we won't even have to leave the hotel." Xu Beifang said with a smile.

The bus drove slowly through the streets of London, and looking at the blond and often bald people around him, he finally felt like he was in a foreign country.

As they drove all the way to the entrance of the hotel, they also saw some scattered fans.

They wore the team uniforms of Faze, NAVI, and NIP. Obviously, they knew the news in advance and came here to stop.

It can only be said that he is worthy of playing CSGO, and his ability to judge information is strong. He knows that he can catch players in advance here, and if he is lucky, he can even get an autograph or a group photo.

Much more realistic than the crowds at media day.

Everyone in VP also saw one of their fans.

Even Tianlu has a foreign fan.

Players wearing uniforms of other teams also came over together, and even a guy wearing a G2 uniform said to pasha, "I'm a fan of VP."

Xu Beifang suppressed his laughter, but still took a photo with the passers-by.

The passers-by left with satisfaction, and the middle-aged manager with thinning hair took them to check in at the hotel.

After checking in, the middle-aged person in charge called another younger staff member and motioned him to take Tianlu and everyone familiar with the area.

He led the VPs into the elevator by himself: "The first floor is the reception hall, and the second floor is our cafeteria. Everyone's daily eating problems can be solved here."

"The third and fourth floors are the rest areas for our staff, the fourth floor is the rest area for media people, and the fifth and sixth floors are your own housing areas."

"The sixth and seventh floors are the training areas for the 16 teams. You will use them during the initial qualifiers."

"But if you are eliminated in the future, this training room will have to be used by others."

This is a bit cruel, but in fact there is nothing wrong with it.

After all, if you are eliminated, you still have to train!

The next stop is the airport. Just be a spectator and feel the atmosphere of the Major. What else do you need to train for?

Arriving at the sixth floor, Xu Beifang followed the troops out and came to the fifth room on the right.

The person in charge took out a VP note from his small bag, put it on the door, took out the room card and opened the door.

"This is your next training room. You can try out the equipment later to see if there are any problems. If there are any problems, please give us feedback in time."

"But we have done debugging before, so there shouldn't be any problems."

Everyone in VP entered the battle room. The overall space is very large, with a total of six computers, a projection, a small tactical blackboard, and even a mat with 7 active CSGO maps on the table.

The space is not small, and the equipment is well-equipped, which made everyone in VP quite satisfied.

One by one, they turned on their computers and began to debug their own equipment.

"Then you guys should sort it out first. Kuben, please leave my contact information. If you have any questions, please call me immediately!"

It was the first time for the Faceit platform to prepare for a large-scale event of this level. As one of the matchmakers with the team, the work of the middle-aged bald man was not easy.

After confirming that there was no problem, he handed the room card to Kuben and left quietly.

Everyone in the VP also connected their devices to the computer. Most of them had no problems with their devices, only MICHU's earphones had noise for some reason. They discussed and bought a similar one nearby.

They did not start training directly, but made an appointment to go out and start shopping for daily necessities.

Among these complicated and trivial matters, they are gradually getting ready to enter the Major in their hearts.

　The monthly ticket is 2400, and then +1 chapter.

　　Then the starting point coins have accumulated to 20000 today, +2 chapters.

　　Because there are so many people who have tipped, I won’t list them all here. I really don’t have that much time now, so I will list them when I have time to thank them.

　　I'm so sorry.

　　The final transition of this chapter will start directly into the game tomorrow.
