Two hundred and nine: everything is ready
When Xiao Se showed the results he had planned over the past few days, everyone was shocked.
Cheng Qing once again hit the nail on the head: "You... including the bonus, reimbursement of round-trip air tickets and venue expenses, it should be a few million at least. Have you found a sponsor?"
Xiao Se made a reassuring gesture to Cheng Qing: "Don't worry, everything is ready now, only the team is missing."
The most important financial issue has been solved, and now we have to prepare for another thing - how to prevent match-fixing.
Winning or losing the charity match is not secondary, but the game is a game after all, and there will be handicaps in a game. If a team uses the "Future Cup" as a hotbed for fake matches, it will greatly violate Xiao Se's original intention.
Lao Chen suggested: "Otherwise, we should strictly control the personal information of the players, such as showing bank card records during the competition?"
Xiao Se immediately objected: "No, let's not talk about whether foreign teams are willing or not. There are thousands of ways for a team to bet. Just find a friend or relative to find a website to place bets. Only fools can use their own personal information to bet.
Gotta come out.”
"Then, no live broadcast?"
Cheng Qing objected again: "That's even worse. If there is no live broadcast, the influence of the game will be reduced by a whole level."
"This won't work, that won't work, then how can we prevent fake matches? We can't send someone to follow them 24 hours a day, right?"
Wen Yaqing: "I have an idea."
"What?"
Wen Yaqing: “Draw lots on the spot.”
Lots will be drawn on site, and Chinese and foreign clubs will compete randomly in a points-based system.
Lao Chen touched his chin and asked again: "What if they discussed the outcome with their friends outside the court from the beginning? No matter who the opponent is."
Now it was Xiao Se's turn to speak: "In this kind of random draw game, the dealer usually won't open the market because there will be very few players buying in real time. But again, there are thousands of ways for a person to fake a game.
All we can do is to minimize this possibility. I have carefully investigated the foreign teams we invited and watched some of their competition videos. So far, there are no problems, so you can rest assured."
There is such a thing as match-fixing, but it is far rarer than imagined. Why is the argument that "XX team fakes matches" so easy to attract the response of fans? It is nothing more than a truth that "cannot be falsified".
With real materials, you can report a team for match-fixing, but you cannot prove that another team did not fix games. This is the most attractive part of the conspiracy theory: "No evidence is required."
Since a charity match has been held, and since these teams have been chosen, the most basic trust is necessary. Besides, if a person even has to fake a charity match, then how dark his mind will be.
After several discussions, the prototype of this charity future cup was finally finalized.
"Okay, I'll contact you later. Let's go first." Cheng Qing waved his hand and left with Lao Chen who was accompanying him.
After everyone left, Xiao Se returned to the temporary room to prepare things.
At this time, Bai Yu walked up and asked, "Have you really found sponsorship?"
"Yes." Xiao Se nodded silently, his hands still busy.
Bai Yu walked over, sat down, grabbed Xiao Se's hands, stopped what he was doing, looked into his eyes, and asked seriously: "Honestly, did you pay for it out of your own pocket?"
"puff--"
"What are you laughing at?"
"Haha..." Xiao Se smiled and poked Bai Yu's little head, "What are you thinking? You also heard what Cheng Qing said. It costs several million. So far in my career, including
The championship bonus and salary are almost two million yuan in income for such a long time. For such a charity match, I invested most of my net worth. Am I crazy?"
Bai Yu was hesitant: "I don't want you to sacrifice too much."
"Don't worry, you still don't understand me?"
After Bai Yu left, Xiao Se first stared blankly at the air, then looked up at the clock, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm probably really crazy."
In fact, all the expenses for the entire charity match were borne by Xiao Se alone.
Earlier, not long after Xiao and Bai came here, after Principal Fu said that the kindergarten had operating difficulties, Xiao Se began to help the future overcome the difficulties. Now, most of the plan has been realized.
Although he is currently one of the most influential players in DOTA2, the charity tournament held with this title alone cannot attract many sponsors and teams. Therefore, he took advantage of the opportunity and used the hands of others (buy hot searches) to expose himself in the
In front of the public, and later because his mother Fu Lin won a major award in the field (coincidence), Xiao Se once again deepened his impression in the eyes of the public.
If you throw out your own plan at this time, you will undoubtedly get twice the result with half the effort.
Facts have proved that Xiao Se's plan is indeed very effective.
After the news was released the next day, the major news sections were as follows:
Min: [There is a bright future! SPS abstains from the Epicenter Major, and ONE makes another big move - the Future Charity Cup!]
Literary News: [The son of the famous writer Fu Lin has spoken out for children with autism and will hold an e-sports charity tournament in the near future, and the world’s top Chinese and foreign teams will be present.]
A certain blog: [Shocked! The world’s strongest player gave up his qualification for the World Series just to help Chinese autistic children!]
TX News: [The strongest Chinese team in DOTA2 abandoned the match for some reason, which caused protests and dissatisfaction from fans. In order to calm the complaints, the SPS mid laner chose to hold a charity match.]
After several reports, mixed with truth and falsehoods, the news that Xiao Se was going to hold an e-sports charity tournament successfully broke out and attracted attention from all walks of life.
The rules are much fresher than regular competitions:
The 12 teams are divided into two groups, the Chinese group and the world group, and they draw lots to compete in a total of six games. Finally, two groups AB are determined based on the total points, group A is the winner group, and group B is the loser group. (Assume China
If the total score of a group is higher, the Chinese group is Group A, and vice versa.)
All games in Group A are BO3, and all games in Group B are BO1, and they are all cannibal games.
The champions of Group B will face a huge problem, that is, they must continuously defeat the losing teams in Group A before they can qualify for the finals.
The final is BO5, with the champion of Group A facing off against the champion of Group B. It is a real showdown between China and foreign countries. The champion will receive a donation of 600,000 yuan.
During the charity game, any team that wins a game will have 10,000 yuan added to the player's personal charity account. After the game, it will be donated to the local children's charity in the player's country of origin.
The greater the risk, the greater the benefit. This rule not only adds convenience to Group B, but also reduces the possibility of match-fixing to a certain extent.
For example, if two teams AB are fighting, A is stronger and can take away B 2:0. However, for the sake of mutual benefit and win-win, let team B also win a round of charity. They can let B win by "releasing".
Bureau.
Or, in order to win more donations, Team A deliberately loses the game and falls into the loser's bracket to gain more competition opportunities.
All of the above will be the reasons why the dealer chooses not to open the market. Without the spinach market, there will be no fake games.
The World Team lineup for the Future Cup has been determined:
Winstrike,Vega,Kinguin,LGD.Int,Alliance,Faceless
