League of Competitive Era

Chapter 38 Opener

Capital E-sports Cultural Center.

As the leading e-sports center in the country, the Capital E-sports Cultural Center has hosted various large-scale e-sports events on many occasions.

The opening ceremony of the No.80 Fourth College E-sports League was held here.

The huge venue was full of people, and spectators from all over the country came to watch this grand event.

There is no doubt that the event will be a major topic of discussion for the next month.

It's not just the Cultural Center, there are people watching the opening ceremony on live streaming platforms such as Zhangmeng, Shark, Huya, and Panda.

Therefore, if the game at the opening ceremony is played well, it is entirely possible to become famous overnight, but if it is not played well, it will also become famous overnight, and in the next few days, the team will become the target of ridicule by various jokers.

Accompanied by the dynamic DJ, the youthful and lively cheerleaders on the field showed their figures, and there were various cosers around for everyone to enjoy.

The atmosphere on the field suddenly became active.

Chen Mo and the others who were waiting in the background could also hear the deafening sound from the front desk, and their blood also burned.

The makeup artist is putting makeup on them, and a pair of hands is kneading their faces.

"Little handsome guy has really good skin, he looks so handsome without makeup!" the makeup artist pinched Chen Mo's face and said enviously.

Chen Mo gave her a blank stare, but didn't say anything.

Suddenly, the music at the front desk stopped and the host appeared.

"Golden autumn brings coolness, sweet osmanthus fragrance, welcome everyone to come..."

Then there was a series of speeches, nothing more than thanking this, thanks to that, how the activity was... Chen Mo was drowsy after hearing it.

But there is no way, all activities are like this, the speeches of the host and leaders are like the old lady's foot wraps, smelly and long.

"Before the conference starts, we will draw lots to select the eight teams that will participate in the opening match..."

Hearing this, the drowsy people suddenly woke up. Chen Mo also pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Group A is Qingchuan University and Dongshan College participating in the opening match."

"Group B participated in the opening match with Nantang University and Huangqian College"

"Group C will participate in the opening match of Beihai University and Lianyun University."

"Group D will take part in the opening match with Yanyun University and Huaqing University."

Hearing that his team's name was reported, Zuo Zhuo said in disbelief: "No way, it's too coincidental, we happened to be drawn."

"coincide?"

Chen Mo recalled the various teams that participated in the opening match, then shook his head.

The first few teams are all the seed teams of each group.

And what about the next few?Without exception, they are all sending teams from each group.

If there was nothing tricky in it, Chen Mo wouldn't believe it even if he was beaten to death.

If the guess is correct, the official arrangement should be to cater to the audience present.

After all, most of them are fans of the previous teams.

And in order to ensure that they can win and make the audience enjoy watching, they specially arranged some weaker opponents for them.

Otherwise, the seeded team lost the first game, wouldn't it be ugly to say it?

However, the league officials definitely did not expect that Huaqing is not a soft persimmon, but a hard rock.

But seeing his teammates looking nervous, Chen Mo naturally wouldn't say these things.

He pretended to be okay and comforted him: "Anyway, we have to face each other. It doesn't matter if we fight early or late, and we may not lose."

"That's as simple as that. You know, tens of millions of people watched the opening game. If we lose, we'll probably be ridiculed until next year." Tang Sen still felt a little worried.

Seeing this, Chen Mo said nothing more. Some things always need to be experienced by oneself to understand.

……

At the front desk of the venue, the unveiling ceremony is still going on.

A blue flag was raised, which was the school flag of Qingchuan University.

"Let us welcome... Qingchuan University—"

After the words fell, several players from Qingchuan University came out waving their hands.

There was a burst of cheers from the audience, "Qingchuan...Come on! Qingchuan...will win!"

On the huge screen in the venue, their previous results were displayed. Various awards filled the screen, either the championship or the runner-up.

"Next is the biggest dark horse in the league last time, let us welcome... Heshan University─"

When the camera turned, it showed the new Heshan University.

……

It was not until the end that the name of Huaqing University was read, and Chen Mo and others walked onto the stage together.

"Shh-"

The stadium suddenly cooled down, and boos rang out from the auditorium.

Reporter Wu's report has spread through the media.

Anyone who pays a little attention to the university league now knows that Huaqing, who used to be the tail of the crane, now wants to compete for the championship.

For this ambitious team, the audience gave them a cruel mockery.

Not only the scene, but also the barrage of major live broadcast platforms.

"Look, the champion team is out!"

"Champion? I'm afraid it's the champion in my dream!"

"I think in terms of bragging, they are really champions."

"Then they are probably the world champions!"

.........

Hearing the boos from the audience, Chen Mo's face sank.

Not only him, but also other members of the team. Manager Wang in the background even scolded him directly.

After Huaqing appeared, the unveiling ceremony ended.

The lights on the field dimmed, leaving only the two teams from Group A participating in the opening match.

Backstage, Chen Mo heard Manager Wang scolding.

"You bastards, what's wrong with my goal being the champion? No matter how hot Huaqing is, he's better than you guys..."

Looking at him like that, he has the feeling of a shrew cursing the streets.

"Okay, it's almost done. The players are all back. Don't put pressure on them!" Coach Xu calmly dissuaded them.

Manager Wang wanted to say something else, but when he saw Chen Mo and others coming in, he opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything and sat on the chair angrily.

"Coach, what's wrong with Manager Wang?" Chen Mo asked.

"What else can I do, I'll be pissed off by the audience outside!"

After getting off the field, Chen Mo calmed down.

He stepped forward and patted Manager Wang on the shoulder, and said comfortingly, "Don't worry, Manager Wang, don't you know our level? When we blow up Yan Yun, they will naturally shut up."

"That's right, trust us, when we show our strength, they will naturally shut up!"

"Yes, blow them up..."

Others also persuaded, being treated so coldly by the audience, everyone was suffocated.

Looking at the appearance of the players, Coach Xu smiled gratifiedly. It seems that it is not impossible to maintain this state to win the championship.

The opening game on the court ended quickly, and the result was no surprise. Qingchuan won the game with a huge advantage. If he could make [-] shots, Dongshan Academy would have surrendered long ago.

Qingchuan won, and cheers erupted from the auditorium again, but Dongshan University, as a loser, had no choice but to leave the stage disheartened.

The same is true for the next few games.

In Group B, Nantang University won with a huge advantage.

In Group C, Beihai University crushed their opponents and won easily.

In the last group, Yanyun University played against Huaqing University.

Finally it was their turn, Chen Mo stood up and walked out.

In their eyes, there is a flame burning.
