This is an invitation letter from the National Professional League.
There are 16 competition areas in the national server, 32 civilian teams, plus 32 professional teams. Each team will receive an invitation from the organizer.
This is the first official competition for professional teams in "Apocalypse Era", and it is also a competition that determines which team can successfully advance to the World S-Class Professional League.
It is a very important game for both ordinary grassroots players and professional players.
The date of the National Professional League is set on the 18th day of the second lunar month.
Unlike previous online arena games, the National Professional League will be held at an indoor stadium in the Penguin headquarters city.
Being held offline shows its formality.
The most excited people at this time are the civilian players who have received the invitations.
After all, with the rapid development of the times, online games have become an important part of society and the most important social platform for the younger generation.
Professional-level e-sports competitions are also included in the category of sports competitions. Coupled with the strong entertainment aspect, the popularity of e-sports is no less than that of football and basketball and other sports that have been dominant for hundreds of years.
A serious professional e-sports player, his net worth is comparable to that of a professional football player.
At the same time, there are also many e-sports clubs that stand out and become famous brands in the industry.
For example, Bai Yunfei's Longteng team is as famous in the world of e-sports as Real Madrid and Manchester United in football. There are really a lot of experts, and they are all celebrities.
Being able to compete on the same stage with these e-sports stars in the industry is no less than playing a formal game with a footballer.
With so many high-value professional masters playing with you, even if you know you are losing, it will be extremely honorable to talk about it in the future.
But at this time, in the main hall of Green City, Wang Li was cursing the game company: "Ci'ao! A penguin like this can actually do this!!"
Others were also indignant and aggrieved.
The reason why I was so angry was entirely because of the favoritism on the invitation.
There are two types of invitations from Penguin Company. One type is invitations from civilian players. Players who receive this type of invitations go to participate in professional leagues, and all travel is at their own expense... Air tickets and hotels must be booked in advance, and all arrangements are made by the team themselves. .
The other type is invitations from professional players. All the itineraries of professional players are handled by Penguin Company, from going out to returning home. To put it bluntly, it even includes them calling for special services in the room...
Wang Li and others were immediately unhappy to be treated like this.
It's not a matter of money.
Everyone makes a lot of money in the game, and there is no shortage of travel expenses. The main reason is that the official attitude obviously makes civilian players unhappy.
We are all contestants, why should we favor one over another just because we are civilian players? This is so disgusting.
Compared to the dissatisfaction of others, Mana Boundless remained as calm as ever: "It's an old tradition! We were just dragged there to serve as a memorial arch. Do you really think we were allowed to compete?"
"Archive?"
Wang Li couldn't help but be stunned when he heard what Fa Liwu said.
Others were also thoughtful.
We are all smart people, so we can understand things naturally.
The resources of game companies are reserved for people who can make money for them. Letting civilian players play naturally does not mean letting everyone actually play games.
The strength of professional masters is definitely not comparable to that of ordinary players. The main reason why civilian players are allowed to participate is to promote their game as a "national game" and to set up a "archway" in front of all players.
See, as long as you play well, it’s possible to compete with professional esports stars.
Since we say it is a game for all, everyone must have an opportunity.
Who among young people doesn’t have an e-sports dream?
By then, more young people will inevitably be attracted to this game.
Those veteran players in the game will definitely work hard to become stronger? How do you work hard to become stronger in the game? There is only one shortcut...recharge money.
In this way, the game company not only harvests a large number of new leeks, but also harvests a large number of old leeks, which not only adds interest to the game, but also builds a good reputation.
What about their investments? It's just an invitation.
It allows you to advertise and promote them for free, and it also allows you to be grateful to them and thank them for giving you this opportunity... As for the advertising fees? It’s good that they didn’t ask you for a registration fee.
What does it mean to make a fortune?
"NND, you're so disrespectful."
Thinking of this, everyone in the Tianlong Sect slammed the table angrily.
With boundless mana, he spread his hands and said: "There is no way. Who made us ordinary players? This is the treatment."
"Then shall we go?" Jiuxing Poisonous Milk said, "I don't want to be used as a stepping stone for others!"
"That's right! They've already done this to us, why should we go!" Bai Bu Chuan Yang also agreed.
"You're stupid, aren't you?"
Mana Boundless said: "That's why we should go."
"Why?"
"Why should we only let them use us?" Mana Wuxian said: "As long as you have the strength, you can use each other."
"Well……"
Everyone was silent.
This is true.
Civilian teams that are not strong enough will be used as stepping stones.
But if you are strong enough, you will promote yourself in this competition. What a good gimmick for civilian masters. Once your reputation is established, won't all kinds of advertising endorsements be softened by then?
In this way, being used becomes using each other.
"But I still feel awkward!" Wang Li was still unhappy. Regardless of whether they were taking advantage of each other, it was very uncomfortable to be treated differently.
It doesn't matter if other people can't bear it, Wang Li can't bear it anyway.
"Then think about it from a different angle." Mana Boundless said, "Just treat it as an offline gathering and play a game on the way. That's it."
"Offline gathering..."
Wang Li's eyes lit up when he heard what Fa Liwu said.
Yes, everyone has known each other for so long, but they have never met offline. There are more than a dozen people in the Tianlong Sect. Wang Li has only met two girls, Bu Bu Shenglian and Dai Yuanyuan. The others are even before Zongheng Wushuang. We have never met Wang Li in the same city.
"Yes, we can meet offline now."
As soon as they heard about the offline meeting, others couldn't help but get excited.
Netizens’ interviews are always full of expectations.
Soon everyone's topic shifted from being treated unfairly to where to go when they met offline. Everyone's unhappiness was instantly wiped away and they suddenly became excited.
Especially the two girls, Dai Yuanyuan and Bu Bu Shenglian, were so happy.
Girls usually like to be lively and go out to play.
…
Half a month has passed in an instant.
According to convention, contestants need to familiarize themselves with the venue two days in advance, so on February 16th, a group of people from the Tianlong Sect rushed to Nanshan City, where Penguin Company is located.
