The official hotel provided a unified stay, but the Yuteng team stayed at another better five-star hotel - Jinjiang International Hotel.
Team Yuteng is not short of money, and for many reasons, Team Yuteng also needs to stay in a five-star hotel.
As soon as Team Yuteng arrived in Shenzhen, they were immediately "discovered" by reporters from e-sports and entertainment media.
The next day, Team Yuteng held a press conference and accepted interviews from a group of media. It can be said that they earned enough limelight.
These sexy operations are run by the company's publicity department.
The purpose is to create topics, maintain buzz, attract popularity, etc. This is almost the operating model of entertainment companies.
This kind of behavior is actually more harmful to an e-sports team, because it can easily cause the team to be impetuous before the game, which directly affects the results of the subsequent games.
If you are high-profile before the game and fail in the game, you can imagine the consequences.
That is to say, Team Yuteng dares to do this because they have the sea-fixing needle - the Hidden God!
The high-profile behavior of Team Yuteng has attracted many questions, most of which come from loyal fans.
They are very worried that the Yuteng team will be impetuous, fail in the game, and even fail to qualify for next year's KPL!
As for the others, including other competing teams, there was no sound, all waiting to see the end of the Yuteng team's complacency.
In fact, Team Yuteng only made one appearance in Shencheng, and all subsequent high-profile publicity actions were done by the company's publicity department.
The Yuteng team has been using the hotel business conference room to train seriously, and the pre-match condition was maintained well and relaxed.
Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and the KPL qualifiers finally officially began.
Perhaps it was a deliberate arrangement, the first match on the main stage, Team Yuteng vs. Team STCU!
(The KPL qualifiers are divided into two stages: the main stage and the secondary stage. The competition on the main stage is broadcast live on the entire network.)
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the Shencheng E-sports Center was full and every seat was packed.
Many fans spontaneously held up many placards and kept shouting the names of the teams or players they supported.
Looking around, the words Qingyou, Yin Shen and Feng Feng occupy most of the hand-held signs.
The TCU team is very excited, looking forward to trampling the high-ranking e-sports goddess Qingyou under the soles of countless eyes.
Without wasting any time, the game officially started under the excited cheers of countless fans.
In the hero banning stage, the first hero banned by the TCU team was Hua Mulan.
The second banned hero is still a strong top lane hero.
At this time, not to mention Feixing, even the commentator had already seen that Qingyou was being targeted.
"Jiujiang, what do you think of the TCU team's strategy against Qingyou?"
On the commentary stage, the commentator Axiu deliberately asked another commentator in a discussion tone.
Jiujiang: "I think it's basically correct. Qingyou is the strongest top laner, and she is also the core teammate of the Yuteng team. By limiting Qingyou's performance, the Yuteng team is much weaker."
The third commentator, Nan Shu, speculated: "Is it possible that the TCU team not only restricts Qingyou, but also uses Qingyou as a breakthrough point to attack?"
"Impossible!" Jiujiang and Axiu said in unison.
Not only Jiujiang and Axiu thought it was impossible, but all the live audience and the audience in front of the live broadcast platform subconsciously thought it was impossible.
On the live broadcast platform, countless barrages flew up, sarcastically saying:
"What narrator? Are you talking without thinking?"
"Qingyou is the best top laner, no one else. The TCU team is so stupid that they only focus on Qingyou!"
"This commentator is not good enough. Officials should replace him immediately!"
…
When Tang Hongling saw that his two best top lane heroes were banned, he didn't take it to heart.
She can become the first e-sports star to break out of the industry, but she has endured countless tests, being restricted, and even targeted.
Feixing also didn't take it to heart, thinking that the TCU team was just restricting Qingyou's performance, so he didn't have any precautions when choosing the hero lineup.
The hero of Qingyou is Meng Tian, while the hero chosen by Zhong Yu is the more traditional Ying Zheng.
Although he doesn't hide himself too deliberately, Zhong Yu still chooses a relatively balanced mage hero. Ying Zheng's first skill, King's Punishment, has the effect of blocking movement.
The process of banning heroes and selecting heroes ended, and soon the heroes from both sides appeared in the Canyon of Kings.
In the early two or three points of the game, Yuteng's team had an overall advantage and got first blood.
Zhong Yu steadily suppressed the opponent's mid lane, then prevented the TCU team from invading the jungle and used Lu Jianye to attack the weak points, and finally took care of Feng Feng.
As for Tang Hongling, he was not worried at all.
However, at 3 minutes and 23 seconds, Zhong Yu suddenly found that Tang Hongling's hero died and was attacked by two heroes from the TCU team.
However, he was still not too worried. He went directly through the river and helped Tang Hongling guard a wave of soldiers.
After Tang Hongling was resurrected, he hurriedly left the top lane because the red zone was invaded by the TCU team.
Although it was three versus three, Lu Jianye and Zhang Sen were weaker after all.
Zhong Yu arrived in time to provide support. Not only did he drive away the invading TCU team heroes, he also used his ultimate move, Supreme King Power, to harvest a head.
However, before he could return to the middle, Tang Hongling's hero died again.
The audience at the scene began to become a little commotion, whispering to each other: What happened to Qingyou today? Killed one after another.
On the live broadcast platform, there were a lot of barrages. Although most of them were "Come on Qingyou", some words questioning Qingyou were also vaguely visible.
Zhong Yu hurried to the road, but it was too late, and a tower on the road was quickly pushed down.
"Qingyou, what's wrong?" Zhong Yu, as the captain, must understand the situation.
Tang Hongling: "It's okay, I was careless."
After speaking, she took a deep breath to calm herself down.
Zhong Yu said through the headset: "Assistant, pay more attention to the road."
"Copy that." Zhang Sen responded and immediately walked up the road.
After Zhang Sen went to the top, Zhong Yu asked Lu Jianye to invade the enemy's jungle area, and he followed behind.
Tang Hongling was killed one after another, and Zhong Yu felt a little pressure, thinking that Tang Hongling was not in good condition today.
Therefore, it is necessary for him to exert some strength to restore the situation, put enough pressure on the TCU team in other places, and relieve the pressure on the top lane.
However, unexpectedly, the TCU team did not stop them from invading the blue zone.
"No, their goal is to go on the road!" Zhong Yu's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately left the TCU team's blue zone by returning to the city, and then went on the road.
However, it was still a step slow.
Double-Kill!
An exciting announcement sounded in the sky above the Canyon of Kings.
Tang Hongling and Zhang Sen were double killed by the TCU jungler! ! !
ah! ! !
At the game, the audience couldn't help but let out huge screams of disappointment and shock, followed by a commotion.
Two against two, Qingyou was killed by a double!
On the commentary stage, the three commentators were also shocked.
"What's going on?" Jiujiang shouted in disbelief, "Did Qingyou lose too quickly? Yin Shen didn't even have time to support him!"
Axiu said worriedly: "Qingyou must be out of shape."
Nan Shu sighed and said: "Qingyou was indeed targeted by the TCU team. The TCU team obviously regarded Qingyou as a breakthrough."
On the live broadcast platform, the barrages are densely packed with different opinions.
Some people shouted for Qingyou to come on, some people defended Qingyou, and some people added insult to injury...and so on.
