Create a great era of e-sports

"Speaking of which, I was also a fun-loving person when I was young. However, online games were not popular at that time. Everyone was fishing, catching shrimps, playing marbles, and throwing sandbags. It was not until the 1980s that the Famicom came into the country. , I made some money at that time and was addicted to it for a while.”

"I'm not afraid of your jokes. Later, when joystick game consoles became popular, I often secretly played a few games when I had free time. It was very interesting."

Zhang Hongwen narrowed his eyes slightly, took out a pack of cigarettes from Zhang Zhaoyang's pocket, lit it, held it in his mouth, and talked about the past.

Zhang Zhaoyang suddenly asked out of curiosity: "My mother said that when I was young, there were several times when you didn't go home after get off work and said you were going to socialize, but when you asked people in the company, they all said it was fine. At that time, she thought you were the manager. You found the mistress, but no results could be found, and finally nothing happened. Now it seems that you went to play games?"

Zhang Zhaoyang talked about a piece of his family's history.

Zhang Hongwen's face darkened, he glared at his son fiercely, and said angrily: "Don't interrupt me blindly!"

Listen, I was so angry that I even cursed!

Mo Yu showed great professionalism and tried not to laugh.

Zhang Zhaoyang couldn't hold it back, laughed and ran to the side.

It was not easy for Zhang Hongwen to catch up. After all, the big boss had to maintain his majesty and just continue talking about the past as if it had not happened.

"It's too far off topic. Anyway, what I want to express is that I can accept and like games and new things."

"To be honest, I am now in my 50s and 60s. I can never regain the feeling I had when I touched the things I loved when I was young. But today's game gave me a very different feeling!"

“Even though I couldn’t understand it, just sitting there and feeling the atmosphere shocked me!”

"Anyway, you also said that at this stage, we need to hold a large number of competitions to gain popularity. It just so happens that I have the money and the heart, so why don't I come out and let the fishing company organize it, and we will cooperate to create a Jingzhou Cup? Isn’t everyone happy?”

"It just gives me more opportunities to observe and see if e-sports can be done and whether it can really compare with football and basketball!"

What Zhang Hongwen said aroused Mo Yu's interest.

Esports competitions are actually similar to writing novels.

After writing the first book, I will start the second one immediately, so that the popularity of the first book can still spread.

But if I write again after a few years, who will still remember who you are.

The same goes for competitions.

After the Internet Cafe Tournament was held, he was ready to prepare for the next one non-stop, so as to increase the popularity and gather popularity, and also allow the contestants of the Internet Cafe Tournament to continue preparing for the competition, so as not to be idle.

Now that Zhang Hongwen can take the initiative to propose that the two parties cooperate in hosting the Jingzhou Cup, Mo Yu is more than happy.

"I have no opinion!"

Mo Yu smiled and said: "Set some time, I will visit you, and we will discuss the specific rules and bonuses in detail. What do you think?"

"no problem!"

Zhang Hongwen laughed heartily.

The group stage schedule is intensive.

Sixteen teams were divided into four groups for a double round-robin BO1, which meant that each group had to play 12 games, which was very hard.

On the first day of the game, many young players became famous and attracted a small number of fans among the player base.

After separating from the Zhang family and his son that night, Mo Yu led the staff of Moyu Company until midnight, and finally rearranged the places that were not fully prepared on the first day to avoid problems the next day.

really.

The game hadn't even started on the second day, but people started queuing up at the door of Star Internet Cafe at around 7 a.m.

Mo Yu thought he had arrived early enough, but when he took a closer look, there were dozens of men and women at the door, and there was actually a long queue!

Some people even have homemade cardboard support boards in their hands, with the names of supporting teams and players written in pen on them. The fonts are specially black and bold, which is very conspicuous!

"Fortunately, everything was prepared early last night, otherwise it would have been a mess again when there were more people."

Mo Yu wiped the cold sweat from his head.

Yesterday's chaos at the gate is still fresh in my mind, for which I was fined a sum of money.

After chatting with the Zhang family, he immediately arranged for security personnel overnight, arranged isolation railings in advance, and created a dedicated queuing channel on the sidewalk.

Otherwise, the scene today would definitely be a mess, and you would be punished again.

Walk to the glass door of Xingkong Internet Cafe.

There were two uniformed security personnel standing at the gate at the moment. There were also security guards maintaining order beside the queue. Yang Qiu happened to be at the scene.

Mo Yu walked up to Yang Qiu, said hello casually, and said to Yang Qiu: "The order on the scene must be maintained so as not to affect road traffic. Also, has the prepared breakfast arrived?"

There is a breakfast shop next to the Starry Sky Internet Cafe.

On the first day of the group stage, the influx of spectators affected business.

In this case, both to compensate the breakfast shop and to show the humanity of Moyu Company, Mo Yu simply asked Yang Qiu to discuss with the breakfast shop owner. During the group stage, two hundred people of steamed buns and fried dough sticks would be prepared for the spectators every morning. A simple breakfast like that.

It doesn't cost a lot of money, but it can leave a good impression on the audience and everyone will be happy.

"It's almost 8 o'clock. We should be here soon."

Yang Qiu looked at the time and saw that it was already 7.55.

The words just fell.

I saw a couple pushing a small cart filled with breakfast and walking over from a short distance away.

"coming!"

Yang Qiu's eyes lit up, and he immediately arranged for someone to distribute breakfast to the audience lining up at the scene.

The people who came and queued up didn’t expect such a surprise, so they said thank you while taking it.

Taking advantage of the gap when Yang Qiu led people to distribute, Mo Yu told the security guard standing guard: "When the audience comes in, be sure to count them. Don't put any more after you have reached two hundred. There is not enough space inside. If there are more, It’s easy to get into trouble.”

The security guard saluted: "Okay, Mr. Mo!"

Mo Yu nodded in response, looked back at the scene, and thought carefully about whether there were any omissions.

After thinking that there was no problem, I walked through the door.

The Starry Sky Internet Cafe has begun to get busy.

The referees, commentators, hosts and other stadium staff are already making preparations. All the auditoriums such as sofas and chairs have been moved to the side, leaving enough room for them to be filled with small plastic benches.

This kind of stool does not take up space and is very low, so it will not affect the sight of the audience in the back row. It is very suitable as an audience seat in places like Internet cafes.

There were several rows of tickets on site, close to a hundred, and if there were any more, there would be no room left.

But it doesn't matter.

Among the two hundred people who come in, those who have no seats can continue to stand on the side, as long as it does not affect the competition.

nine in the morning.

Start letting people go.

Mo Yu stared at the door until two hundred people were let in and the Internet cafe was almost full, then he ordered to stop people from entering.

The Starry Sky Internet Cafe is not a small space, and in theory it can accommodate four to five hundred people.

For example, nearly 300 people came in yesterday, and the game was still playing normally.

However, considering the fire and safety issues on site, as well as the fact that there are referees, commentators, security checks, and dozens of players inside and outside the arena, the competition also requires space.

Two hundred spectators are enough, any more will affect the players.
