"Super Invitational Tournament? Are the Koreans really organized?"

Mo Yu pinched the document in his hand with a surprised look on his face.

The DPC league was still in full swing, and he had just read the news on the Korean website. He was indeed dissatisfied. Before he could ask about the specific situation there, Zhang Zhaoyang came over with a document.

"I didn't expect it to be so fast." Zhang Zhaoyang shook his head: "It was sent directly in the name of KESPA, inviting two domestic DOTA clubs to play against four Korean teams. If you win a game, you will receive 50,000 yuan. The bonus, if you win every game, is two hundred thousand."

"Two hundred thousand is a lot."

Mo Yu nodded.

The prize money of 200,000 may not sound like much, but in fact it is far more than the scale of third-party commercial competitions. The Koreans have indeed invested money this time.

And it doesn’t count the ranking, as long as the Korean team wins, the organizer will pay, and the loser will not get a point.

in addition.

Not only domestically, but also several other competition regions have received invitations, each with two quotas.

This means that in the worst case scenario, if the Korean team fails to win a game, Nickerson will pay 2.4 million in bonuses alone.

"How's it going? Are you going?"

"Go, why don't you go." Zhang Zhaoyang said nonchalantly: "Korean people are rushing to send money, why don't you take it, and besides the domestic competition, several other competition regions have also received invitations to play in this super invitational tournament. , it can be regarded as inquiring about the military situation to prepare for the future."

A total of 16 teams participated in the Super Invitational Tournament held by the Koreans this time, two from each of the six major regions. In addition, the Koreans themselves sent four teams.

As soon as the news spread, it attracted quite a lot of attention.

Even the Korean Internet is excited, shouting that they want to prove the strength of Korean DOTA to the world.

"Is there a designated team?"

Mo Yu flipped through the letter in his hand. There was too much content, but he didn't seem to see the designated team participating.

"That's not true." Zhang Zhaoyang shook his head: "I just said that I would invite two teams, but I didn't specify which one. I think the Korean people's ideas are actually easy to understand. After all, it is an international event and affects all major competition areas. To save face, if you don’t want to lose, you will definitely arrange for the strongest team to participate.”

"Then who are you going to choose?"

Mo Yu asked: "Everyone is busy playing DPC recently, right? Are you free?"

"I'm also struggling." As the Secretary-General of the Domestic E-Sports Association, Zhang Zhaoyang naturally coordinates this kind of thing: "There was a meeting a few days ago and everyone was very interested. But when I asked, none of the main players had time. They all have to stay in the country, after all, compared to the bonus, the DPC is more important.”

"Then what do you think?"

"It depends on the situation." Zhang Zhaoyang said with a headache: "What I mean is that the main players don't have time anyway, so let's just form a temporary team. Koreans want to win and lose face. It doesn't matter if we send a temporary team and lose." , the most important thing is to find out the military situation and compete with foreign teams in person."

"Of course it would be better if we win."

"I'm mainly afraid that Koreans will feel underestimated and get provoked and start making trouble again, so I came here to talk to you."

Mo Yu waved his hand when he heard this: "Actually, it's not a big deal. Korean people's brain circuits are hard to say. Let me see, if you send a substitute over there, even if they are unhappy, they won't make trouble. They may even be quite happy. Anyway, they What we want is a winning result.”

"If you win, you can naturally start bragging. How come South Korea's DOTA beats China's DOTA so badly, and they lose?"

"If they lose even if they play against a makeshift team, they deserve it."

"Just practice more cooking!"

To put it bluntly, in this Super Invitational Tournament, the Koreans are unconvinced and want to regain their confidence.

If the country sends a temporary team there, as long as it can bear the names of those big clubs, they may be happier.

"That's fine. If you don't mind, I'll go back and choose someone."

After receiving Mo Yu's affirmation, Zhang Zhaoyang thought it was nothing. The worst he could do was lose. Why should he be afraid if he wanted a bonus? Go back to the meeting immediately.

Just give me a phone call.

The club owners of the sixteen teams that entered the DPC league started a video conference online.

"There is no problem with Moyu. You can make your own choice. Who is free to participate in the competition? What I mean is that it is best to send the starting players there to avoid losing too badly and not looking good." Zhang Zhaoyang was the first to speak.

"No time."

"DPC has reached a critical moment recently. Who's starting lineup has time to go to South Korea? Is it free?"

"To be honest, the bonus is quite attractive."

"Two hundred thousand, just for a few days, isn't it easy?"

"Easy is easy, the problem is that there is no one!"

"No, you guys are so clueless? So what's the point of a bonus? Isn't beating the Korean team the real deal?"

The bosses of the major clubs discussed it for a while, and everyone had their own ideas, but in summary, no one was.

No one wants to give up DPC and go to South Korea.

Some club owners with deep pockets are even more disdainful of the money, but a few clubs with strength but no funds are quite tempted.

But again, the starting players have to play in domestic leagues and have no time.

"Then what should we do?" Zhang Zhaoyang also had a headache from the noise. He slapped the table and cursed into the headset: "I want to go but there is no one? What do you think we should do? Just find a few substitutes and you can organize it yourself. "

"Anyway, there are only two places. If you can form a group, come to me. Whoever signs up first before next week can go!"

"The meeting is over!"

for several days.

No news from the clubs.

Zhang Zhaoyang almost thought that no one had signed up, and was about to refuse the Korean party, but before the deadline, someone came.

"Old boy, sit down."

A middle-aged man in his early thirties found Zhang Zhaoyang.

This person's name is Tong Xin, the manager of Tongfu Club.

Tongfu Club is a club that was founded not long ago. The team specializes in DOTA. It has Tongfu First Team and Tongfu Second Team, both of which entered this year's DPC League.

The name Tongfu is also because the father of the financial backer behind the club is Tongfu Company, which is engaged in the grain and food industry. It has a brand called Tongfu Bowl Porridge, which is converted into products such as chain restaurants and ready-to-eat eight-treasure porridge.

However, although Tongfu Bowl Porridge is a big brand, its popularity is not very good, especially among young people.

If it weren't for the establishment of an e-sports club, many people might not even know about it.

"Are you going to fight with Tongfu this time?"

Zhang Zhaoyang served hot tea.

"right."

Tong Xin nodded: "I want to play a few games to gain experience."

"What bird experience can I accumulate with this list?"

Zhang Zhaoyang shook off the list of team members that came up in his hand. The five people on it were either anchors, substitutes, or even top players on the ladder.

"I think you just want to publicize it and hide your hair in front of me." (End of Chapter)
