Leng Zhimeng's speech actually did not save the public opinion environment of 00, and the scolding on the Internet became even louder, but no matter how loud the scolding was, it seemed to be of no use.

Under 0O's unswerving push, everything went on as usual. The International E-Sports Federation was established as quickly as possible, and 90% of the players and clubs who received invitations joined the International E-Sports Federation as soon as possible.

Of course, there are also some players crying on the Internet, saying that they were kicked out of the hotel immediately just because they refused to join the International E-Sports Federation. The air tickets that they had agreed to reimburse were not reimbursed, and they were already living on the streets.

.

At the same time, because of the language barrier, I don’t know how to live anymore.

These people's self-reported experiences on the Internet naturally aroused another wave of anger, but it was still of no use. The 00 Group did not respond at all. On the contrary, because of the noisy public opinion on the Internet, a large number of people who did not originally pay attention to e-sports

Players, suddenly learned from the Internet that there is such an interesting thing as the Jiangnan Cup.

At the same time, 00 also announced that the Jiangnan Cup will be broadcast live on the entire network. Its main live broadcast channel is the official live broadcast room of the OO platform. In addition, Netflix, Los Gato TV, Weibo, Facebook, etc. Jiangnan

All of its media outlets have live broadcast channels, and the entire Jiangnan Cup promotion work was carried out smoothly at a speed that is unimaginable in this dark environment.

By the time the competition officially started, the popularity of the Jiangnan Cup among the masses was no less than that of the WCG, which had been held for several years.

And the Jiangnan Cup did show a level of dignity that all e-sports players have never seen before.

The first is the city-wide torch relay event. This is a standard treatment only available for large-scale national-level events. This torch relay ceremony alone is enough to kill all previous WCG scenes.

The first public live broadcast of the Jiangnan Cup was the torch relay ceremony held in the morning. Due to the rush of time, the entire torch relay ceremony was a lap around the city, which lasted about 8 hours.

However, the competition organizing committee also made it very clear during the live broadcast that the 2nd Jiangnan Cup will hold a torch relay ceremony around all important cities in the host country.

After the entire e-sports industry develops further, the torch relay ceremony of the Jiangnan Cup will definitely be made the same as the torch relay ceremony of the Olympic Games. The torch will travel to all major countries around the world.

This statement surprised all the spectators. This Jiangnan Cup clearly stated that it would be in line with the Olympic Games.

However, the Jiangnan Cup still needs to be distinguished from the Olympic Games. At the same time, this also made many Chinese players feel the terrifying strength behind the Jiangnan Cup.

Foreign players may not feel much about it, but Chinese players know it very well. It is possible to block roads in the magic city, and it takes one day to send a letter, specifically to hold this torch relay ceremony.

The energy behind this is really terrifying and terrifying.

Ahem, I won’t go into too much detail, let’s look at the torchbearers.

Not only must all the torchbearers be transformed into their favorite game characters, but they are also unique in other aspects. First of all, what the players are holding is not a torch at all, or a traditional torch, but an electronic screen.

This electronic screen is embedded in the handle of a torch, and what is displayed on the screen is a 3D image of a girl wearing a blue shirt. This image can do various movements on the screen. It looks like

It's like living in a world on a screen.

The torchbearer holding the girl's torch is also different from the torchbearers of traditional sports activities.

Traditional torchbearers usually wear sportswear to carry out the relay, but the torchbearers of the Jiangnan Cup are all transformed into various game characters. When running on the road, it is extremely eye-catching.

And when the two torchbearers want to alternate the torch, they will bring the screens on the two torches together, and then watch what happens as all the audience exclaims loudly.

That was the girl in blue who was originally on the screen. When the two screens were close to each other, she suddenly walked to the edge of the screen. With a slight jump towards the other screen, she jumped directly to the other screen.

Then, he bowed to the original torchbearer and, accompanied by the new torchbearer, began to run towards the next torchbearer's position.

In fact, if you think about it for a while, you will understand that the girl in blue definitely does not have the ability to move between the two screens. These are just two videos that match each other. But I have to admit that this carefully designed torch handover session attracted a large number of viewers

They experienced an extremely dreamy, real-like feeling.

By the way, this girl in blue is one of China’s most classic game characters, Zhao Ling’er, and Zhao Ling’er was also the Jiangnan Wandering God of the first Jiangnan Cup. According to the competition regulations announced by the Jiangnan Cup Organizing Committee, every Jiangnan Cup in the future will

There will be a brand new Jiangnan Youshen.

Jiangnan Youshen will select candidates from all the active game characters of the year, and then all players will vote publicly. The game character with the highest number of votes will become the Jiangnan Youshen of this year.

However, each game image only has one chance, so each version of Jiangnan Gods of Travel will be completely different. As the character tapped by Boss Huang, Zhao Ling'er has become the only Jiangnan Gods in history that is directly determined without player selection.

god.

Not much to say about what happened next. After the torch passed around the main streets of the entire Magic City, the torch finally entered the main venue of the Jiangnan Cup, the largest venue in the entire Magic City, the Magic City International Expo Center.

This indoor exhibition area is as high as 200,000 square meters, and the rent for one day is nearly 2 million yuan. It was directly booked by the entire Jiangnan Group for 15 days.

All Jiangnan Cup games will be held in this extremely huge venue.

What's even more worth mentioning is that although this venue is extremely huge, all the decoration work has been completed inside, and every part can reflect the elements of games and competitions.

In addition, there is also a heavily decorated competition venue,

At this time, e-sports competitions are basically based on a routine, which is to arrange computers on a small stage according to the number of players and teams.

The players from both sides fight on both sides of the computer, and a large screen in the middle can broadcast the computer screen, and that's about it. If it's a little more luxurious, all the computer desks can be covered with a transparent glass cover for sound insulation.

, and at the same time it shows a certain sense of technology. This is the top configuration of the competition venue. This is how the WCG competition site is planned.

But all the spectators who were lucky enough to be able to enter the venue couldn't help but let out a burst of exclamation after entering the venue.

Because the main stage of the entire competition can no longer be described as a stage, but spans the largest Hall A in the entire Magic City International Expo Center, and the player stages of both players are located at both ends of Hall A, with a sufficient gap between them. A straight line distance of nearly 400 meters.

Conceptual?

This is equivalent to straightening the distance of a standard runway. It is basically impossible for the players at one end of the main stage to clearly see the players at the other end.

And the contestants did not stay on the ground. At this time, on both sides of the main stage, two platforms in the air were specially built using some unknown technology.

These two platforms seem to be suspended in the exhibition hall, and the audience cannot see what is supporting these two platforms. What is even more amazing is that these two platforms can actually circle the entire exhibition hall in a circular motion. Mobile, so that all peripheral spectators can look up at the professional players they support from the bottom up.

I don’t know if the audience is happy with this feeling, but the professional players will definitely be happy with it.

What’s even more remarkable is that in the center of the main stage, the center of the entire main stage has been built into a real-life classic map TR of Warcraft, and it has been perfectly reproduced in the same proportions throughout the entire exhibition. The center of the museum.

Whether it is trees, roads, rivers, or even some public buildings and wild monsters, they are all built according to a 1:1 ratio.

Well, don’t think it’s impossible, and don’t think the maps in e-sports competitions are too big.

After all, an ordinary human farmer can walk the entire diagonal of the map in two minutes. This map cannot be that big. After being copied to equal proportions, it will not reach one-fifth of the entire area of ​​Hall A.

When such a completely simulated map appeared in front of the audience, the audience still had to kneel down.

You must know that Jiangnan Group only announced that it would hold this competition two weeks ago. In the end, it took only two weeks to completely decorate such a huge venue into an extremely luxurious competition site. This strength is indeed unimaginable. of.

The viewers who watched the live broadcast had to keep their mouths shut after viewing the entire live map through the live broadcast lens. Most of them had been shouting and insulting the Jiangnan Cup in front of the computer that it was a rubbish competition.

After all, faced with such a scaled copy of the competition map, the word "garbage" seems to be impossible to say.

Of course, some people will continue to scold them when they should, but most people have to admit that the Jiangnan Cup indeed far surpasses WCG, and also surpasses all e-sports competitions in the past and present.

Azeroth comes to the world

They are now starting to worry about what they will do if they scold Jiangnan Group too harshly on the Internet and never hold the second Jiangnan Cup again. Have they ruined the greatest glory of e-sports? !

However, the audience soon discovered that they had underestimated the arrogance of the Jiangnan Cup, because the venue in Hall A was actually specially built for Warcraft and Warcraft.

There are a total of 17 different exhibition halls in the entire Magic City International Exhibition Center, and each competition event has an exhibition hall as its own exclusive competition venue.

Similarly, these competition venues also have unique venue designs for their own games. They are so arrogant that they completely made everyone, including all players and clubs, speechless.
Chapter completed!
