Chapter 36

Yang Qianqian wandered around with a distracted look, her mind full of the words Yu Luosheng had just said.

Is he really praising me? Why did he say that out of the blue? How annoying, now I don't know what to say...

As she walked, she had originally been very interested in shopping, but the atmosphere had changed, making it hard for her to find a topic to talk about.

Just as she was racking her brain for something to say, a tall and imposing figure appeared around the corner!

This person was dressed in heavy armor, holding a large sword. Seeing him, one could think of a classic line: "As long as I stand, the tower stands!"

The power of Demacia — Garen!!

Yang Qianqian was taken aback. Why is this guy standing here? Who put up such a big billboard?

What surprised Yang Qianqian was not the Demacia billboard, but the background behind it, which was not a defensive tower, but a towering, magnificent — Coca-Cola!

As long as I stand, Coca-Cola stands!

Yang Qianqian stared blankly at the very interesting large billboard, tilting her head to read the words on it.

"Initiated by GTV, the Coca-Cola Cup National Internet Cafe League is now open for registration. If you are a pro, if you love LOL, why not sign up and participate in a real LOL showdown?"

"Sponsored by Coca-Cola, this league covers the vast majority of internet cafes nationwide. All players level 30 and above can sign up to compete and win glory and rich prizes!"

"Registration period: June 1st to June 10th. The official start of the national internet cafe league: June 11th. The match format is 5v5 draft mode..."

...

Yang Qianqian put her little finger to her lips and read the content of the large billboard carefully.

Yu Luosheng also stood beside her, looking at it. When he saw the Demacia "As long as I stand, Coca-Cola stands" advertising line, he found it amusing. The standing Coca-Cola did indeed look a bit like a defensive tower.

"This is the national internet cafe league for LOL, sponsored by Coca-Cola. It's a very prestigious competition!" Yang Qianqian said with some excitement.

E-sports competitions have always been popular in China, but to be honest, there aren't many that can attract sponsorship from a powerful company.

This time, it's sponsored by Coca-Cola, so the funds and prizes are definitely plentiful and eye-catching. Moreover, it's initiated by GTV, which indicates that the league has a certain level of professionalism and is not just a small-scale event!

"Yu Luosheng, there's a competition too!" Yang Qianqian said excitedly, tugging at Yu Luosheng's sleeve, her eyes twinkling.

"LOL is becoming more and more popular. The internet cafe league can even cover the whole country. To be honest, only a company like Coca-Cola has the resources to sponsor a national internet cafe league. Yes, GTV did a good job convincing Coca-Cola to sponsor it." Yu Luosheng stroked his chin and nodded.

Yu Luosheng himself played e-sports and had some knowledge of competitions.

Generally speaking, e-sports competitions are divided into several levels.

The lowest level is the "self-organized competition" of a certain internet cafe, usually organized by a certain internet cafe, network club, school, company, or area.

These competitions don't have many participants, and sometimes they even fail to complete. They lack professionalism, and people mostly participate for entertainment.

The next level is the "joint competition" or "city competition."

Joint competitions are usually organized by a series of internet cafes in a city to attract customers. These competitions have preparation, responsible persons, and clear reward systems, forming a preliminary scale.

If you can achieve a good ranking in such a competition, you are considered a pro in the LOL community.

The next level is the sponsor league.

Sponsor leagues are at least at the city competition level. These competitions are often initiated by sponsors and internet cafe chains, promoting each other for mutual benefit.

Sponsor leagues have rich rewards and are professional. Specific items such as registration, participation, refereeing, promotion, rewards, audience, and exposure are all included, giving the competition a certain level of influence!

The highest level is the authoritative e-sports association, game company, and sponsor-invested, internet cafe-participated official large sponsor league!

This type of competition is not just for advertising effects. It must be held to increase the popularity of the game, making it a league with a certain level of authority.

This level of competition has a complete process from the preliminary rounds to the final, precise time arrangements, many responsible persons, planners, and managers, a large number of participants, and a certain level of media exposure. The rewards are generous, and participants may gain significant fame, or even be selected into e-sports clubs...

The Coca-Cola Cup National Internet Cafe League is undoubtedly a large-scale league of this fourth level!

To be honest, there are not many games in China that can hold such a level of e-sports competition. LOL has become popular in just a few years.

Moreover, to have the resources to hold a national internet cafe league is truly remarkable.

Yang Qianqian didn't understand these things very well. She only knew that there was a competition to watch. However, Yu Luosheng saw much more than others, and in short, the Coca-Cola Cup was a very prestigious competition.

...

"What are you doing?"

"Registering!" Yang Qianqian said seriously.

"Miss Yang, don't be silly. You're just level 30. It says here that anyone level 30 and above can participate, but there will definitely be many ranked players in the preliminary rounds. Don't go looking for a beating." Yu Luosheng said.

Competitions and class matches are completely different. Students don't have much time to play games, so there aren't many pros. However, internet cafes have many people who play and practice all day. How can the skills of students who go to school every day compare?

"I'm not participating. I'm registering you." Yang Qianqian giggled and pulled Yu Luosheng into the internet cafe.

"..." Yu Luosheng was speechless.

What are you registering for!

We have the college entrance exam tomorrow, girl!

"I know the strength of our class. We can't compete." Yu Luosheng shook his head.

"Didn't you see? You can register first and then form a team freely." Yang Qianqian pointed to a line of small text at the bottom of the billboard.

The league considered that many pros are lone wolves and don't have fixed five-person teams, so it allows individual players to form teams based on their strength.

"Forget it." Yu Luosheng shook his head, not really planning to participate.

Although this competition is not the most professional, after the regional rounds, it will be similar to a professional league. Yu Luosheng had promised his father not to participate. If his father found out, he might never be able to play League of Legends again.

"The registration fee is only 10 yuan, and you get a bottle of Coca-Cola. Just participate for fun. I want to see you play against the pros." Yang Qianqian looked at Yu Luosheng with twinkling eyes.

Yang Qianqian usually played with Yu Luosheng and could feel that his skills were far above her level. She was actually very curious about how strong he really was.

Such a competition would best showcase Yu Luosheng's strength.

"It's getting dark. Let's go home and have dinner." Yu Luosheng didn't enter the internet cafe and turned to walk home.

Seeing that he was determined not to participate, Yang Qianqian immediately became unhappy.

Yu Luosheng ignored her and walked back on his own.

...

On the way back, Yang Qianqian didn't say a word. This time, it wasn't because she was embarrassed, but because she was angry. Her little mouth was pouting high, and when Yu Luosheng spoke to her, she only responded with a hum.

"Don't think too much. We have the exam tomorrow." Yu Luosheng said.

"You're so annoying. It's not like you're going to war." Yang Qianqian finally spoke.

"This is very troublesome, and I don't like trouble."

"I'm also troublesome, so why do you stay so close to me?"

"Speaking of trouble, today's math exam was really hard. I have a headache..."

"Don't change the subject!"
