Chapter 364 The Competition Begins (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
This game was designed by Ye Chen based on the movie "Top Player" from his previous life, so once it's launched in the market, Ye Chen believes that with such a realistic experience, it will definitely become a worldwide sensation.
However, there's still a lot of preliminary work to be done.
For instance, building network connections and managing game operations, there's just too much to do.
Right now, even Ye Chen is looking forward to someday entering the game with the players.
...
After sending Su Wanyi home, Ye Chen received a call from Lin Shiyin.
The Star University Competition is about to begin.
In the past few days, teams from all over the country have gathered at Star School.
A total of over three hundred teams have been screened and they all reported at once.
The enthusiasm of these teams is incredibly high, as all three hundred teams reported immediately to participate in the competition.
In the gymnasium, they were divided into ten zones.
Each match can accommodate fifty teams competing simultaneously.
The competition is divided into three rounds, with a best-of-three format.
The three hundred teams were split into five zones to start the group stage.
Teams that win in the group stage proceed to the knockout rounds to determine the final champion.
This competition lasts for three days, and Maoya Net will live stream it in its entirety.
The gymnasium is packed with spectators.
The gymnasium that holds ten thousand people is completely full.
Even Ye Chen did not expect so many spectators to come.
Even the steps of the stadium are completely occupied with people.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chen also let out a long breath.
With spectators coming to watch indicates that the competition is very popular, which also means the competition is already halfway successful.
This competition will completely change people's perception of competitive gaming.
Ye Chen specially invited designers from Blue Hole Company to serve as referees.
As the game's designers, they have absolute authority in formulating game rules.
Ordinarily, these experts would be impossible to invite, but since Ye Chen is the chairman of Blue Hole Company, getting them to come is just a matter of saying a word.
As the competition starts, Star University has also sent a team.
Compared to other teams, Star University has been training for a while now, having the advantage in team cooperation and skills.
However, the other teams are also very strong, making the competition extremely exciting.
As the game starts, the stadium's big screen displays ten split screens showing each group's match status.
The entire competition is monitored intelligently to prevent cheating.
At this moment, not only Maoya Live Stream, but other websites and media have also dispatched their reporters.
This competition can be described as unprecedentedly grand.
These players did not disappoint, playing extremely intense matches.
They may not realize it, but they are creating an era.
After the group stage ends, the knockout rounds begin.
Star University smoothly takes first place in their group.
Throughout the battles, each team performed excellently, eliciting applause from the audience.
Additionally, this competition is broadcasted on Maoya Net.
The live stream platform's fans surprisingly surged over a million, exceeding everyone's expectations.
This also made some businesses truly see the future potential of electronic sports.
A few days ago, when Ye Chen talked about electronic sports, many people scoffed.
But today, they truly believed it.
Sun Ze and the others were also very excited.
Because their dreams really have become reality.
Ye Chen was also sitting in the office, watching the live footage of the match.
Seeing the players' happy and blissful expressions, Ye Chen felt very gratified.
Games have always been considered as having no future, seen as playthings that spoil ambition.
Anyone who plays games is often labeled as a bad kid.
Today, Ye Chen wishes to change this perception.
The teams that emerged from the group stage are all very powerful.
Each team has several incredible Divine Level leaders.
They embrace each other after every victory.
Previously, after winning matches, they would be happy, but now it's not just happiness, but a sense of accomplishment.
This experience is something they've never had before.
At this moment, some gaming experts have even gained quite a few personal fans.
Especially Sun Ze, known as Leng Yu in the game, when he steps on the field, the sounds of cheering for Rain God go up all around.
This atmosphere truly feels blood-pumping.
As they enter the knockout rounds, due to the strength of the teams, the competition becomes even more exciting.
Spectators watched with full attention during the match, holding their breath.
After a victory, they cheered along with the team they support.
Especially in the live stream room, after the second day of the competition, the online number has reached three million, and this number is still climbing.
The first day's competition satisfied players, spectators as well as organizers.
Maoya Live Stream also profited significantly due to this broadcast.
As for these players, they used to be unknown behind computers, but now they've walked onto the stage and become idols under the spotlight.
Some businesses have already started contacting Ye Chen to discuss forming an electronic sports league.
Everything is smoothly proceeding according to Ye Chen's plan.
At this moment, Ye Chen already has an idea in his mind; he wants electronic sports to rise rapidly, allowing those with gaming dreams to become professional players.
On the second day, the competition attracted even more people, and even the stadium seats had to be reserved online, with only ten thousand seats available.
This time, the final ten teams entered the last knockout rounds.
As soon as they entered, they received cheers from the audience.
This competition, the most attention was on Star Team.
Their play style is more mature than other teams, especially their extremely powerful team combat capability.
This also showcased the results of their professional training.
With the continuation of the competition, teams were continually being eliminated.
The competition was extremely fierce; some matches were decided in the final few seconds.
This level of intensity even gives a suffocating feeling.
This competition not only included Star Team but had many experts emerge from other battles.
For instance, Huaqing University, Han University, and Zhejiang University all produced top-tier teams.
The final four were produced from these four teams.
Just as they're about to enter the final showdown, during the break, Ye Chen walked onto the stage.
Ye Chen smiled with the microphone and said, "Students, I am Ye Chen, the Principal of Star University."
Upon seeing Ye Chen, many students were stunned.
"Oh wow, the principal of Star University is actually so handsome."
"I'm in love!"
"Students at Star University are really lucky."
"Oh, I want to transfer to Star University."
"Me too, I've heard their students are really fortunate."
...
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Today I want to announce something to all of you; many might ask why I organized such a competition, and now I want to tell you the real reason."
