The scale of the city tournament and the internet cafe tournament was clearly different.
The city tournament was held in a large hall in the electronics mall, which had been set up as an indoor venue many days in advance.
The electronics mall itself already attracted a large number of electronics enthusiasts, and with the LOL city tournament being held here, the Lecheng Electronics Mall became incredibly popular in no time.
The venue was free to enter, and the organizers and planners originally thought that with so many seats arranged, it might seem rather cold and deserted if not many people came.
After all, the boss of Lecheng Electronics Mall had previously organized some similar e-sports competitions to attract customers, but sometimes more than half of the seats were empty, which indeed looked quite helpless.
However, this time the organizers and planners were wrong. Over a thousand seats were all occupied, and even more people were still pouring in. Those without seats stood in the open spaces, forming small groups...
"It feels like we've invited a celebrity to hold a concert," said Huang Junjie, the deputy manager of the electronics mall, standing backstage with a smile on his face.
What did the electronics mall need? A huge influx of people!
For players, electronic products were like equipment in a battlefield. Huang Junjie was sure that these people who came to watch the competition would not be able to resist buying the mice, keyboards, headphones, microphones, and various other hardware displayed around the venue.
Moreover, the competition would last for several days. During this time, as money rolled in, those who had never bought electronics at the mall would subconsciously come here to purchase their future electronic devices after watching a competition here, which would bring in more loyal customers for the electronics mall.
Thus, the revenue would definitely increase!
"Boss Huang, about the sponsorship for the team..." said a man with a sharp face, smiling.
"Sponsorship isn't a big issue. To be honest, I didn't expect this game to be so popular. If it can really attract more customers, the sponsorship is a small amount of money," Huang Junjie said generously.
The man with the sharp face immediately squinted his eyes.
Since it was directly sponsored by Lecheng Dalijia Electronics Mall, it would definitely be a considerable amount of money. If he could secure it...
"Our Tenda Internet Cafe members are all very strong. Boss Huang, you might consider us," the man said.
"We'll wait for the results of the competition. If we're going to sponsor, it will definitely be the team that wins first place in Lecheng," Huang Junjie said.
"Of course, of course, but winning first place for us Tenda is just a matter of time," the man said with a grin.
...
In the venue, Qin Lao Da raised his head, his eyes fixed on Huang Junjie and the man with the sharp face speaking backstage on the second floor.
"Boss Qin, who are those two?" Yu Luosheng followed Qin Lao Da's gaze.
"The one on the left is the deputy general manager of Dalijia Electronics Mall. He owns about 70% of the stores in the mall," Qin Lao Da explained.
"Seventy percent!" Wang Qin exclaimed in surprise.
The electronics mall had five floors. Apart from the central exhibition hall on the first floor, the other floors were filled with electronics shops, selling a wide variety of electronic products, all dazzling to the eye.
Having a store here was already very profitable. Wang Qin never expected that someone would own 70% of the stores. The year-end dividends would be an astronomical amount!
"What about the one next to him?" Yu Luosheng ignored Wang Qin's surprise.
Wang Qin had shamelessly tagged along, calling himself the leader of the Blood Red team, taking on all the tasks like serving tea, water, and massaging shoulders.
Qin Lao Da pursed his lips and said, "Lian Feng, the young boss of Tenda Internet Cafe and the leader of the Tenda team. If I'm not mistaken, the incident with Huang Yu was definitely his doing. If Wu Kai didn't have Lian Feng's protection, he wouldn't have the guts to mess with my people."
Yu Luosheng nodded, no wonder Qin Lao Da's eyes had a hint of anger when he looked at them.
Qin Lao Da glanced at Yu Luosheng and continued, "This competition is about securing the sponsorship from Dalijia Electronics Mall. If we have the connection with Deputy Manager Huang Junjie, there will be many more opportunities to make money in the future."
"Boss Qin, Lian Feng seems to be very familiar with Huang Junjie. Will he use his connections?" Xue Haiyang said.
Qin Lao Da shook his head and said, "I know Huang Junjie. He only cares about benefits. Connections and relationships are nonsense to him. As long as we win first place in Lecheng, we don't need to seek out Huang Junjie; he will send someone to us."
Everyone nodded and said, "Right, that shameless Lian Feng is like a dog begging for sponsorship. We need to make the sponsors come to us!"
Just as they were talking, a host had already walked up to the exhibition stage.
The electronics venue gradually quieted down. The host said, "This LOL Lecheng Internet Cafe League is sponsored by Dalijia Electronics Mall and Coca-Cola Lecheng Branch. We welcome everyone to Dalijia Electronics Mall. I have some good news for you all. During the competition, anyone who buys the electronic devices on display can enjoy an 80% discount..."
"Furthermore, those who make a purchase can exchange their receipt for a ticket to the final of the LOL Lecheng Internet Cafe League at the entrance of Dalijia. The ticket for the final costs 50 yuan, but it's better to buy a device you like, which can significantly improve your skills..."
After the host announced the activities of Dalijia, many people developed a desire to buy.
It's worth noting that a large number of people were still standing without seats in the venue. By the time of the final, it would definitely be packed.
At that time, having a ticket, sitting comfortably in a seat, holding a can of Coca-Cola, and watching the exciting final...
What a pleasant experience!
Mice, keyboards, and headphones always break or become unsuitable at some point.
"Next, please welcome the champion teams from our four internet cafes."
"They are the Dawn team from Dawn Internet Cafe!"
"The YiQu team from YiQu Internet Cafe!!"
"The Tenda team from Tenda Internet Cafe!!"
"And the Blood Red team from Longsheng Internet Cafe!!"
After the host finished speaking, the four champion teams walked onto the exhibition stage in order.
The exhibition stage wasn't very luxurious, with a hardwood floor covered by a carpet, and ten high-performance black computers arranged in an "eight" shape on both sides.
A large LCD projector was set up in the center, and the game footage would be projected onto the large LCD screen.
At this moment, the members of the champion teams from each internet cafe stood in a line in front of the audience, wearing team uniforms with the logos of their respective internet cafes.
As applause and cheers rose, the members of these champion teams truly felt like stars!
...
"Hey, what's wrong with the captain of the Blood Red team, Huang Yu?? Why is his hand wrapped in bandages?"
"Yesterday, I heard that Huang Yu's hand was injured, but I thought it was a rumor. I didn't expect it to be true."
"Damn, if his hand is injured, how can he play the game??"
Soon, someone noticed the bandages on the hand of the Blood Red team's captain, Huang Yu, and the discussions began.
