Chapter 460: Guests
"All spectators please return to their seats, the first game will start in ten minutes." "All spectators, please return to their seats..." Soon half an hour passed, and the first game was about to start It's about to start. According to the plan, the morning game is only 8 games of 32 to 16 in the upper half. There is only one and a half hours of rest, interviews and betting time at noon. In the afternoon, it is 32 to 16 in the lower half. The game, a 20-minute break, then the 16-to-8, 8-to-4 games, and then another one and a half hour break, and finally the semi-finals, finals and third-to-fourth place games in the evening.
The schedule seems to be very tight, but in fact it is easy to control, because the time to actually play the game is not very long, but the interval before and after the game is relatively long, and the competition committee will control it, so it should not What can go wrong.
Soon all the spectators returned to their seats one after another. By the way, professional game betting is completely legal, and there are professional betting companies in charge, which is very formal.
The information of the first match had already appeared on the big screen at the scene. The 13th ranked player in the S-rank raced towards Liulijian, who was ranked 22nd in the S-rank. These two players are both mid-level S-level players, and their rankings are hovering around 10-20. It is good luck to be drawn together, and neither of them may win. Here I want to talk about Liulijian in particular. Last quarter, Liulijian ranked 15th in the S rank, while Doomsday was ranked 16th last quarter, but this season's competition is completely reversed. Doomsday has improved a few places, But Liulijian lost several people.
Speaking of this reason. It really has something to do with Li Huailin, because Liulijian is the first time Li Huailin didn't come to participate in the competition, but he abstained from the opponent's bet. This is really a bit too miserable. After that game, Liulijian really became You became the laughing stock of the S-level professional players, and you were scared to abstain without your family members coming, so it's still considered that someone else won. You are playing a knitting profession.
In an instant, Liulijian's fans plummeted, and he himself received tremendous pressure from all sides, which of course affected his performance in the game, and then he suffered consecutive defeats, but as a professional player. Liulijian still has the ability to adjust, and he recovered in the second half of the competition, and finally made it to the knockout round through hard work.
The funny thing happened again here, because Liulijian discovered that the culprit that caused his low performance this season. The awesome Brother Niubi is actually ranked lower than himself, he is 22nd, while the opponent is 24th. Aren't you a disgusting person? If you are playing against someone ranked number one, it's fine if you abstain and lose, but if you're playing against someone with a lower ranking than yourself, then you abstain. Isn't this going to be laughed to death again?
Liulijian is now holding back the evil fire and has no place to use it, but he did not expect the opportunity to appear. In the finals, he actually got the chance to fight Li Huailin again. He drew b1, and Li Huailin was b2. After qualifying in one round, the second round is the second duel with Li Huailin.
"I won't abstain again this time.
I must beat you upright, and I will be ashamed..." Liulijian secretly cheered on himself, now he has a chance, but it must be established on the basis of his victory over the end, and then Brother Niubi also needs to win against the Shining Orange. , According to my own news, Brother Niubi has rarely made headlines recently. Could it be that his strength has been greatly reduced, and can this really win the Flash Orange?
But now there is not much time for him to think about this matter, at least he must win the end run first, he is still very familiar with end run, and his strength is also clear, it is not that he has a chance, he has won in the round robin, 2: 1. Now, I have confidence in myself.
But the audience doesn’t seem to think so. Now the betting data is displayed on the big screen. Doomsday wins at 1.29 to 1, and Liulijian wins at 1.97 to 1. Obviously, there are more audiences who buy Doomsday and win. After all, there are many audiences It's not a professional, but it's mainly about the rankings. Doomsday Run is 9 ranks higher than Liulijian, so how can you not win.
The process of the finals and the round-robin competition is slightly different. During the round-robin competition, the host stands on the stage and acts as a referee, and allows interviews with the players, which are also some tips to increase ratings. But the finals are much more formal. Standing on the court are the referees of regular fighting competitions, and interviews and questions are not allowed, and they are only responsible for refereeing matters.
As for the host, the two hosts are now on the commentary seat next to the stage, and they are only on the left and right sides of the commentary platform, and there are three empty positions in between, which are reserved for guests. This year's finals will invite three guests, and now the host is introducing the three guests to everyone, and their main task is to interview the guests, and the contestants can only be interviewed during the break time, and they cannot be affected before the competition.
"...Today's three guests, the first one is Miss Xiang Nong, a former professional player that everyone is familiar with..." Kexin stretched out her hand, and a beautiful woman in her thirties appeared in the aisle. Li Huailin, who was standing in the player's seat, also paid attention. This is really a very beautiful woman, mature, intellectual, and charming. Just walking by is like a beautiful landscape, and judging from the current equipment on the other side, she is definitely a woman. Powerful players.
"Sister Xiangnong." The host here, Ke Xin, greeted her very politely, and seemed to respect her very much.
"Sister Xiangnong." Similarly, Liu Su who was next to him also greeted very seriously, and took the initiative to help her open the seat.
"Hi, everyone, I'm Shannon. It's a great honor to be a guest of the S-level league today. To be honest, this is an interesting experience. It's the first time for me to sit in the guest seat to participate in the finals. I will remember this day." Shannon said with a smile.
"Xiang Nong! Xiang Nong! Xiang Nong!"
"The Goddess of War! The Goddess of War! The Goddess of War!"
Intense cheers erupted from the auditorium, comparable to the shouts from the other side of the sky just now.
"Who is this guy? Very famous?" Li Huailin asked strangely.
"You don't know?" Feng Yiliu next to him asked strangely.
"I don't know. Is it really famous? Why haven't I heard of it?" Li Huailin was considered an online game player before, and Zheng Mengjiu had never heard of the name Xiangnong.
"The former S-level professional player, the female professional player who has won the most championships so far, just retired suddenly three years ago and left the field with 7 championships. The reason is still unknown." Feng Yiliu said, "She The number of fans once set a record in China, although it is much less now, it is still stable in the top ten."
"I retired three years ago, no wonder I didn't know..." Li Huailin nodded. He hadn't started playing online games three years ago, so he naturally didn't know such a person. "Have you ever played against her?"
"No, I was still in the A-level league at that time, and I didn't have a chance to play against her. Simply put, I was not at the same level as her at the time." Feng Yiliu also said with a little regret, "I didn't have a chance to play against this girl. It is a regret in my career that God of War played against each other."
After Xiang Nong was seated, the supporter Ke Xin continued to introduce the next guest: "The second guest, he is also a former professional player. Welcome, Jing Long."
"Oh?" Xiang Nong, who was already seated, was also a little surprised, and turned his head to see a familiar figure walking towards him, and Xiang Nong also stood up here.
Appearing on the field was an uncle who looked to be in his forties. His appearance was a little plain, but he looked dignified. As far as the equipment on his body was concerned, he was also a master.
"Xiang Nong, what a coincidence." Jing Long walked to the front of the guest seats, actually greeted the two hosts, and then said directly to Xiang Nong.
"You also appeared, I thought you didn't play this game." Shannon smiled, showing no attitude.
"Who is it again?" Li Huailin looked at the auditorium who was calling his name and asked, "It seems to be very popular."
"A person of the same era as Shannon is also a champion player. Shannon's main competitors, because they happened to be a man and a woman. At that time, the two often represented the highest level of male and female players. In order to create topics, the media often This is used to publicize the duel between the two, so they are regarded as deadly rivals, but it is hard to say what the relationship between the two is in private, but after Xiang Nong retired, Jing Long also retired not long after." Feng Yiliu said, "Sure enough, everyone Everyone can see that "Heart of Glory" is a good game, and even Jinglong is back."
"Hmm..." Li Huailin didn't pay much attention, but asked curiously. Anyway, he is a former professional player and has nothing to do with him.
Soon the host introduced the last guest, who should be a well-known game commentator, but Li Huailin didn’t know him either. His name was Drifting in the Past. He looked like a white-collar worker in his thirties. Looking at the equipment It's not for playing games, I guess it's just for commenting.
The three guests are seated, and there is still a little time before the start of the game. There is just enough time here to interview the guests and come to the heat. Ke Xin, who understood the meaning very well, asked the topic character Xiang Nong: "Sister Xiang Nong, the equipment you are wearing is very powerful now. Even if you participate in professional competitions, there is no problem. Have you ever thought about making a comeback recently? Look The audience seems to be looking forward to it, and I am also looking forward to it personally, Miss Shannon, you are my idol, and I am still famous on your fan site."
Xiang Nong smiled, but didn't answer, instead Jing Long turned to the side and asked, "What about you?"
"I'm past my prime, no company wants me." Jing Long said with a smile, "You still have the foundation, so hurry up if you want to come back."
"It's not interesting to have no opponent." Xiang Nong said while twirling her long hair, "The current players, apart from this guy who wants to do something, really don't have any other players that can interest me."
"What about Brother Niubi?" For some reason, Jing Long said suddenly.
"Ah?" Li Huailin who was standing there was taken aback, what does this have to do with me? Why are you talking about me again.
