The first group was a best-of-three match, Tongji University versus East China University of Political Science and Law.
Both teams were recognized as veteran strong teams in the Shanghai University Esports circle. In terms of strength alone, they had the qualifications to fight their way into the top four or even the finals in this year's Gold Spear Cup.
But this time, it could only be said that the luck of the two universities was not too good. The top 16 teams were drawn together, so they had no choice but to decide who was better in advance.
The ban round of the first best-of-three match ended quickly. The big screen on the stage of the competition also showed the loading bar of the game.
Number One and Number Five, who were sitting in the commentator seats, were the guest commentators for today's competition. They also chatted casually with a relaxed expression.
"I haven't been back in China for more than a year. There are quite a lot of University Esports competitions in Shanghai now …"
"Yeah, what Gold Spear Cup? I don't think I've heard of it before."
"It's a good thing. The domestic Esports atmosphere is getting better and better. Other than professional leagues, there are all kinds of sponsors funding and organizing these small competitions. Although the standard is not that great, it can at least provide more competition and actual combat opportunities for the new generation. This kind of behavior is still praiseworthy."
With their status, the content of such a conversation naturally did not have many scruples and taboos.
But there were many students in the audience below the stage who were listening to them in a daze.
These two commentators …
They had never heard of these two people in the domestic commentator circle, but they were quite daring when they spoke.
In front of the organizers and sponsors, they actually nonchalantly commented that this Gold Spear Cup was just a "small competition" and "the standard is not that great." Hey, hey, they are big bosses who are paying, okay? It's fine if you guys, who were invited to come over as commentators, don't help say some good words, but why are you making such blind comments?
Aren't you afraid of your salary being deducted later?!
As the person in charge of the Shanghai Esports Association, Chu Fangnan stood backstage and listened with a helpless and bitter smile.
Those two on the stage …
They really had the qualifications and confidence to make such casual comments.
Ordinary small commentators naturally would not easily offend these rich sponsors, but those two were different. They naturally would not take this kind of thing to heart.
Of course, he didn't care whether the conversation between No.1 and No.5 on stage would leave a bad impression on the sponsors of the Gold Spear Cup. This was because the big boss of the sponsors of the Gold Spear Cup had a good cooperative relationship with the Shanghai Esports Association. He just gave them a call and slightly revealed the identities of the two people on stage …
Then the big boss of Gold Spear Company on the other end of the phone was extremely excited. He naturally agreed to a small matter like a temporary change of commentary. He even shamelessly begged him to help to ask if it was possible to let him host after the competition and specially set up a table at No. 8 on the Bund to entertain the two legendary gods who had just returned to China.
This was not an exaggeration at all.
Your Golden Spear Company's esports equipment business in Shanghai is indeed quite big, but now, in order to further stabilize the market and open up new sources, you naturally have a closer relationship with these well-known anchors and professional players in the domestic esports circle.
Gold Spear Company's esports equipment business in Shanghai was indeed quite big, but now in order to further stabilize the market and open up new sources, they naturally had a closer relationship with these well-known anchors and professional players in the domestic esports circle.
The value of the top professional players in the country was about the same.
Even so, the domestic major esports related manufacturers and companies were still desperately trying to rope in such anchors and professional players for endorsement resources. The market was quite short of supply.
In comparison, with the status of the two sitting on the commentary stage at the moment, if they could agree to take an endorsement, or even just attend one or two simple offline events, the weight would be enough to beat the domestic popular anchors and even the top professional players by who knows how many streets.
After all, even after many years, even if some people retired —
They were still the most well-deserved immortal legends in the entire professional esports circle.
…
The loading bar of the game ended, and the first best-of-three match between Tongji University and East China University of Political Science and Law officially began.
Three minutes later, the old captain of the blue team, jungler Clown, invaded the jungle. He directly killed the jungler Blind Monk of the East China University of Political Science and Law on the opposite side.
There was a round of applause and cheers from the audience.
In the commentator's seat, Number One nodded slightly.
"Not bad."
"But the purple team's Blind Monk's awareness is not good enough. He's still being singled out.
Four minutes later.
In the bottom lane, the purple team's two-man combo was the first to reach Level 2. The Explorer, the ADC, had already taken the initiative to push forward with his support, Hammerstone, before the last last hit leveled up. At Level 2, EZ immediately activated his E skill, and Hammerstone flashed and controlled Nami, the Tongji team's support.
He then used his Q skill, Hook Control.
He ignited it.
Coupled with EZ's Q skill, he received a flat damage, instantly reducing Nami's HP to the bottom. But the Tongji team's blue team's support, Nami, also reacted very quickly. She used [Weaken] on the opponent's EZ, followed by a Q skill's Water Bubble to control the Explorer, and decisively flashed to escape.
The escape was successful.
There was another round of applause and cheers from the audience.
Even Ceng Rui from the Fudan team nodded slightly. The blue team's Tongji University's support, Nami, had a good reaction speed. She handled the life and death situation very well.
However, Number One in the commentator's seat began to shake his head again.
"This won't do …"
"EZ's reaction is too slow. He didn't even calculate Nami's backhand Q when he went to attack?"
"When he went out with a flat attack, he just took a step back and dodged it. He really shouldn't have lost his life."
"Oh, the blue team's two-man lane isn't good either. Even if they can't beat Level 2, they should have calculated the opponent's time to level up. They should have retreated long ago. This round of summoner skills is too wasteful …"
In the end, he sighed with some regret.
"The level of this year's Shanghai university teams isn't too optimistic."
Little did they know that such comments were spread through the microphone in the competition venue. It had already caused the eyes of the various university teams and the ordinary students in the audience to twitch. Some black lines appeared on their faces.
This guy in the commentator's seat …
Who the hell is he!?
I've never even heard of a small commentator's name, and he's still so arrogant. The two teams were clearly fighting back and forth, and each of their maneuvers was remarkable. But in your words, they all failed?
This side isn't good, and the other side isn't good. So the two recognized veteran teams in the Shanghai university esports circle are just noobs fighting each other!?
Chu Fang Nan, who was backstage, could only smile bitterly as he listened.
He couldn't say anything.
That's right. Even if the players from the professional teams in the LPL were here, they would probably be severely criticized by the two people on stage. This was just an ordinary high school competition. Naturally, it was difficult for the two of them to look at it with discerning eyes.
Logically speaking, they should have let these two go directly to the Shanghai Esports Association building today. Then, they should have arranged for them to privately go to a few LPL clubs to give pointers. However, these two just had to come to the Gold Spear Cup at the last minute to join in the fun. What else could they do?
Not to mention the current set of 'best-of-three' matches, Chu Fang Nan even felt that even if it was the Fudan Team, which was recognized as the strongest team in the Shanghai university esports circle, they would still inevitably be criticized to death.
There were still a total of four sets of 'best-of-three' matches today. It seemed that the entire atmosphere and rhythm of the commentary would continue with this trend of vicious tongues.
The only thing he could hope for was …
Chu Fang Nan lowered his head and looked at the list of groups for that day's competition.
There was probably only the third set of matches. He would have to wait for Lin Feng's Shang Cai team to appear.
