Chapter 337 I haven't seen such a makeshift team for a long time
A few days later, Seoul.

"I kind of regret coming here to participate in the competition." Zhao Yuzhe observed the bustling crowd around him with a bitter expression.

"What are you afraid of? Doesn't the small number of people just prove the necessity of our participation? We can't let China lose face!"

Liu Hao was a little calmer than him, but the slightly tense expression on his face revealed that he was not at peace at the moment.

There were not many anchors from the Chinese region participating in this competition, which Liu Hao had expected.

However, they were not expecting the number of participants to be so small.

The contestant waiting area at the venue was definitely lively, with dozens or even hundreds of people around.

But after walking around for several rounds, the two of them still couldn't find a Chinese word for "Hello" among the massive amount of "Kou Ni Ji Wa" and "A Ni A Sai Yo".

This was somewhat unexpected for Liu Hao and Zhao Yuzhe.

In fact, because this competition is based on a team system of four people, they were unable to gather four participants at this time.

Is the Chinese PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds area so deserted?
In fact, it was not really deserted, but rather the aftermath of many incidents previously caused by Liu Hao and the other two.

Although the main disturbance of the Red Army incident seemed to have been settled after EC knelt down at light speed, the impact it caused is far from easy to quell.

As the saying goes, it takes only a few words to spread a rumor, but it takes a lot of effort to refute it. The EC scandal is not even a rumor. It is basically a dream to expect to change the Chinese community's impression of it by just one slip.

Being hostile to China and unfriendly to China have basically become labels that are locked onto the Jedi Gun God.

Under such circumstances, there are very few anchors who dare to broadcast Jedi Gun God on China's live broadcast platforms.

Even those who dare to broadcast live despite controversy have to think carefully about taking the risk of competing abroad.

No one knows whether one will be taken away by some extremists if one actually arrives at a competition in a foreign country.

As for Liu Hao and Zhao Yuzhe, as the fuse of the Red Army incident, they have their own golden medals of immunity from death, and no one can say anything about it when they broadcast the Jedi Gun God.

At the same time, as professional players, they are accustomed to flying to various cities to play games.

Although I have never been abroad, I am much less afraid of this competition.

The result was that he came in with a swagger, and when he saw that he was almost the only player from the Chinese region, he realized something was wrong.

"What should we do now?" Zhao Yuzhe gritted his teeth.

"What else can I do? Just wait." Liu Hao sighed.

"Let's wait and see if we can get a team of Chinese anchors together. If not, we'll probably have to find a Japanese or Korean to form a team."

After finding a relatively conspicuous place to sit down, the two of them, who had nothing to do, began to observe the surrounding environment.

"…So weird?"

"It's strange indeed."

"Although the layout of this venue looks quite luxurious, it just feels... weird."

After observing the situation around them, the two of them made similar exclamations at the same time.

The venue for this competition is a large convention and exhibition center in Seoul, which is decorated in a magnificent manner, and it is obvious that a lot of money has been used.

At least as far as Liu Hao and Zhao Yuzhe's professional experience is concerned, this is the first time they have played a game in such a luxurious venue.

Only competitions of the level of the Bird's Nest final can surpass this one in terms of venue scale.

But no matter how luxurious it is, when it comes to the layout, there is an awkward feeling in every detail.

"This layout looks familiar to me." Zhao Yuzhe pointed to the competition area in the center of the venue.

"How can it look familiar... Isn't this an Internet cafe..."

In the competition area, hundreds of computers were arranged in neat rows in an orderly manner.

After a closer look, I found that the computer configuration is also the best of the best.

But the problem is, isn’t this arrangement style the same as that of an Internet cafe?
It looks so awkward when paired with the magnificent decoration.

In fact, the layout of the venue for this Jedi competition was actually based on the layout of an Internet cafe, with slight modifications.

The reason is very simple, because the organizer himself does not know how to arrange the venue for a battle royale type competition.

After all, this was the first time that more than ten teams were involved in a melee in one game.

In previous e-sports competitions, the venue layout was relatively simple, with two teams having one competition seat on each side, and five or six seats in a row or something like that.

But this time, there are more than a dozen teams, how should we arrange them?

The staff racked their brains for a long time and tried several layout arrangements, but they were unable to make the image of the competition venue deviate from the style of an Internet cafe.

I'd rather not change it. Let's just leave it as it is.

Maybe the most suitable style for this kind of competition is the Internet cafe style?

With a similar sense of luck, this strange competition venue appeared before Liu Hao and Zhao Yuzhe.

In fact, it would be fine if the seating arrangement was just like that of an Internet cafe.

Although accidents like screen peeking are prone to occur, and professional players sitting there feel almost like hooligans who book a night in an Internet cafe.

But it is a solution after all, and it can be said that it has no merits or disadvantages.

But combined with the palace-style decoration of the venue, it would be extremely weird.

"Don't they know how to make a sci-fi style decoration? Like LPL or SC?" Liu Hao complained in a low voice.

As it stands, the most suitable venue style for e-sports competitions is an avant-garde style with black tones and a full sci-fi feel.

The decoration is similar to LPL’s Hongqiao home stadium.

Earlier, the Honor competition did not have this style, but they did not even have a segment for the players to show up, so naturally they did not care about these things.

And what about this Jedi Gun God Anchor Invitational Tournament?
Bright and transparent light, magnificent decorative style...

If those rows of computers were replaced with name tags and bottles of mineral water, even Liu Hao would believe that he was here to attend a conference.

The main feature is weird.

"Could it be... another competition organized by a makeshift team?" Liu Hao thought.

After experiencing the huge collapse of Excellent Era due to its makeshift team, Liu Hao felt uncomfortable whenever he thought of these four words.

And this time...his guess was actually quite right.

The Jedi Gun God Anchor Invitational Tournament was hosted by a makeshift team.

After finally overcoming the resistance within the association, Valentine thought that everything would go smoothly from then on.

But I didn't expect that this was just the beginning of 81 difficulties.

Han Yong and the others loosened their lips, but had no intention of sending anyone to help.

When Valentine asked, the answer he got was very clear: they themselves did not have enough manpower.

This is not just a perfunctory lie.

The e-sports association is currently in a state where it is too busy to take care of the Jedi Gun God. About half of the League of Legends leagues in various regions around the world are run by branches of various e-sports associations on private projects.

The Star Tour is completely handed over to the eSports Association.

A large part of the work of the upcoming Perk League and CSGO League will also be the work of the e-sports association.

Oh, I almost forgot, although the Glory League is no longer popular, it is still being held. Although the players have been replaced by youth training and the popularity has plummeted, it still requires a certain amount of manpower.

Adding all these things together, you can imagine how heavy the load is.

Teng Hai was generous enough to cut big pieces of cake for these people, but they also had to have enough appetite and teeth to eat the cake.

Therefore, the entire e-sports association, especially Han Yong and Teng Hai, has been operating at a high load, and they are tired but happy.

At this time, let them spare some manpower to help Valentine deal with his Jedi Gun God?

Then the staff of the e-sports association will have to hang the presidents on the street lamps tomorrow.

Without the help of these people who are probably the best in organizing and planning e-sports leagues besides Tenghai headquarters, Valentine can only find people to help him on his own.

After finally putting together a team, we planned to copy the organizing model of our predecessors, but we found that due to the competition system, there was no one to "learn from".

There has never been any precedent for holding such a game competition where more than a dozen teams of players compete in one match at the same time.

Moreover, they only let a group of anchors to participate in the competition, and there is not even a complete team.

I can only say that sometimes being too innovative is not necessarily a good thing.

To make matters worse, the mission was so difficult and the time limit given by Valentine and Cotrick was very tight.

Basically, it can be said that they will do anything to gain the upper hand.

Because the Eternal League has not really started yet, only the preparations and seat allocations have been basically completed.

Therefore, Cotrick and Valentine wanted to organize the competition before the eternal disaster and give the whole world a deeper first impression.

So, apart from the fact that the funding was sufficient, the time was tight, there were few people, the difficulty was high... basically all the possible troubles were there.

A group of e-sports association and EC staff who were in charge of this matter went ahead with it and ended up coming up with this weird thing.

Due to the tight time schedule, there was no time to renovate the interior decoration of the competition venue.

Due to lack of experience, the competition venue was arranged in an Internet cafe style.

Because there is a shortage of manpower, the contestants are basically left alone.

Even Liu Hao and Zhao Yuzhe got to the scene to form a team.

Liu Hao looked around and saw groups of people scattered all over the venue. It was impossible to tell whether they were contestants or spectators.

Even if you look a little more carefully, you can find quite a few COSERS wearing representative elements of Jedi such as level 3 helmets and frying pans.

The main style of painting is relaxing.

As the most influential Jedi Gun God anchor in the Chinese region, they have been here for such a long time, but there is no staff to introduce the rules to them.

Rather than a formal e-sports competition, it is more like a gaming club or comic convention, with a competition as a diversion.

"There's no doubt about it. This is definitely a makeshift team." Liu Hao sighed.

After finally breaking away from the makeshift team of Excellent Era, he couldn't even play a single game in Wind Howl.

I waited until the Jedi Gun God arrived and thought I had a chance to start a second spring in my career, but I found out that even the organizers were a complete makeshift team.

Liu Hao's career has been filled with makeshift teams, right?
After waiting for a while, a voice suddenly sounded behind them: "Mr. Liu Hao? Mr. Zhao Yuzhe?"

The voice had a slight foreign accent, and Liu Hao and Zhao Yuzhe looked over in response.

A man in a suit and tie, neatly dressed, very different in style from the anchors and players, but quite fitting in with this luxurious venue, was walking towards them in a friendly manner.

Unable to figure out the other party's intentions, Liu Hao still stepped forward to shake hands and greet him.

The other party was a Chinese, but he understood Chinese and spoke it quite well.

He claimed to be a fan of Jedi Gun God and came to the scene specifically to watch the anchors' competition.

Because Liu Hao and Zhao Yuzhe have experienced many major events, and their own skills are top-notch among Jedi anchors, they left a deep impression on him.

That's why when I met him, I came to try to get close to him.

Liu Hao didn't believe a word of this argument.

You look like you're here for official business, how could you be a spectator watching the game?

And he happens to speak fluent Chinese and is a fan of a popular anchor like us?

Do you really think we are fools and easy to fool?
He must be someone who wants something.

Considering that this guy suddenly came to them and tried to get close to them before the game started, and also happened to speak Chinese, Liu Hao immediately had many guesses in his mind.

However, in a non-favorable situation, this guy has always been very cunning, so he chatted with the other party without showing it.

Sure enough, after talking for a while, the other party began to lead the topic to the game itself.

"What does contestant Liu Hao think of this competition?"

Although he knew that the other party had other intentions, Liu Hao still felt comfortable when he heard the other party call him a player instead of a host.

Anyway, these are not sensitive contents, so there is not much to hide:
“It just felt a bit sloppy, and it looked like the organizers had little experience.”

"We haven't even been able to put together a team yet..." Liu Hao asked tentatively.

In his opinion, the other party might have valued his and Zhao Yuzhe's skills and wanted them to be thugs for their own anchor.

If this is true, it is not unacceptable.

Anyway, they haven't found teammates, so being able to put together a team of good level will be beneficial to them.

However, he seemed to think it was a little simple.

"So, contestant Liu Hao also thinks that this isn't a formal competition?"

The opponent didn't seem to care about Liu Hao's words "We haven't gathered enough people yet", but was quite concerned about the words "The game was sloppy".

"Ah... that's about right. Even the teams have to be formed by the players themselves before the game. This is not what a regular professional league should have."

"Since this isn't a formal competition, can some of the things that must be followed in a formal competition be... a little more flexible?"

Seeing Liu Hao continuing to speak along his lines, the guy finally couldn't help but let something slip out.

But when Liu Hao thought about this leak carefully, he suddenly felt horrified.

What does "a little more flexible" mean?

...Are you here to challenge me to a match-fixing?
Am I being targeted by a gambling company?
　I will only update once today, because I finally got back to school, downloaded Black Monkey, and couldn't hold back. I had a great day playing, and my head almost split apart.

　　Will make up for it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
