The 'best-of-three' match in the first round of the Gold Spear Cup's top 16 knockout round lasted for about an hour before it ended quickly.
Tongji University defeated East China University of Political Science and Law 2: 0 and won.
Although it looked like a complete victory of 2: 0, in fact, as the audience below the stage, the members of the various university teams and the ordinary students were very clear that these two matches were very close and evenly matched.
Tongji Team did not win easily.
Of course —
"If these guys from Tongji Team didn't wear headphones on the field … they probably would have lost."
Some students in the crowd couldn't help but complain like this.
Then the group of people around them nodded repeatedly and agreed with this.
Indeed.
Fortunately, the rules of the tournament stipulated that the participating teams had to wear headphones to communicate with each other through voice chat. They were isolated from the outside world. Otherwise, the male commentator's relentless criticism and comments would have been enough to disturb the hearts of the Tongji team members. One mistake would have caused the entire situation to collapse.
"There's actually such a commentator in our country …"
A member of a certain university team sighed and said, "How can there be a commentator who scolds all the contestants from the beginning to the end? Damn it, it's a disgrace to the commentator circle! "
The surrounding crowd nodded again and again.
Fortunately, the members of the Tongji University team who walked down from the stage did not know what happened in the previous matches. To be able to defeat their strong opponent, Hua Zheng Team, and become the first team to advance to the top eight of the Golden Spear Cup, the members of Tongji Team were very excited.
The old captain of the Tongji University team walked down from the stage. Coincidentally, a group of people from Fudan University was standing next to him. Qiu Yijie greeted him with a smile,
"Congratulations, you're the first to advance to the top eight!"
The old captain of Tongji Team looked a little relaxed, but he still waved his hand and said modestly,
"You're welcome, we were lucky to win today — but speaking of which, it doesn't matter if we enter the top eight or not. Anyway, we won't be the champion of this year's Golden Spear Cup, right?"
In the end, the old captain of Tongji Team couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
Logically speaking, Tongji Team's performance today was indeed very good. Defeating an opponent of Hua Zheng Team 2: 0 was definitely a good thing to celebrate in the past.
But now that he thought about it, it was really useless.
Not to mention the fact that a heavyweight team like Fudan University had signed up to participate in this year's Gold Spear Cup, especially the Shanghai University of Finance & Economics team. With the addition of "that person", they were also not an opponent that Tongji University could compete with.
Therefore, although there were so many participating university teams in the competition venue, and the members of each team should still be full of ambition to get a good ranking, for the old team captain who really knew the truth behind the scenes, he knew very well that the champion of this Gold Spear Cup was almost certain.
Speaking of the "inside story" —
The old captain of Tongji suddenly snapped out of his daze and stared at Qiu Yijie.
"Old Qiu, did you know something that you didn't tell me?"
Qiu Yijie started to play dumb.
"Ah?"
"Know what?"
"Stop pretending!" The old team leader was a little angry, but he still pulled Qiu Yijie to the side and said in a low voice, "Just now … the two commentators on the stage, who are they? Do you know anything about the situation? There's nothing to hide between us, right? If you have any information, just leak it to me! "
Qiu Yijie rolled his eyes and muttered, "We're not that close, right?"
The old team leader was furious, "You bastard, you're not going to admit it? There was a gathering in the first half of this year. In the end, you went to KTV and forgot to bring money. Didn't I pay for you!? "
Qiu Yijie couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when this embarrassing incident was suddenly mentioned. He coughed twice,
"Hey … You still remember this?"
The old team leader glared, "Of course I remember! You owed me a favor because of this, and it's time to pay it back! "
Seeing that his old friend in front of him was so pressing, Qiu Yijie was also a little embarrassed. However, the current situation was clearly the other party would not give up until he achieved his goal. After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and made a decision —
"Have you played Dota before?"
He was a little stunned by Qiu Yijie's question that came out of nowhere. The old captain of the same team looked baffled.
“dota？”
"Why are you suddenly talking about this? Don't change the subject!"
As he said this, he was a little angry, but Qiu Yijie's expression was very solemn, "I'm not changing the subject. Tell me honestly, have you played before?"
The old team leader looked at Qiu Yijie's serious and solemn expression with some suspicion, but in the end, he nodded, "Yes."
"How long have you played?"
"How long? About, about two or three years. It should be around the time when I was in junior high school. But at that time, I was just fooling around. I didn't have any skill at all — "As he said this, the old team leader was still a little embarrassed.
However, at this moment, Qiu Yijie didn't care about this at all. Instead, his expression became even more solemn as he continued to ask:
"Then, have you heard of this name?"
After saying this, he even looked around cautiously before whispering the name of a team that was extremely old in the Chinese Esports circle in an almost inaudible voice into the other party's ear.
When the old team leader heard this, he slapped his thigh almost without thinking.
"F * ck!"
"Nonsense, of course I've heard of it! You asked this question. Back then, when I first came into contact with Dota, it was because of the brilliant achievements of those legendary Gods, okay? At that time, I even went to the internet cafe to watch all kinds of international competitions of those Gods — "
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Qiu Yijie rudely.
"Then, you still haven't reacted?"
"Ah?" The old team leader was stunned by the question, "React what?"
Qiu Yijie looked at his old friend in front of him as if he was looking at an idiot. He was too lazy to give any more reminders.
Being stared at by Qiu Yijie in such a strange way, the old team leader of the Tongji team was even a little embarrassed into anger, but in the next moment, a bright light suddenly flashed in his mind. In an instant, he realized something, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"F * ck!!?"
The next moment, he abruptly stared at Qiu Yijie with his eyes wide open. He then abruptly turned his head to look at the stage. His eyes continued to widen, and he abruptly turned his head back to stare at Qiu Yijie in shock.
"You mean —"
"Him!?"
"Those two!?"
"Yes!?"
At this moment, the old team leader's lips almost began to tremble, and he could not speak clearly. He was completely stuttering and trembling, and there was a tremor in his tone.
Qiu Yijie's face was filled with schadenfreude. Just an hour ago, he had experienced the exact same state of mind. At this time, seeing his old friend in front of him like this, he naturally felt extremely satisfied.
Of course, he did not forget to imitate Ceng Rui's previous actions and put a finger to his old friend to keep quiet.
"Shhh —"
"It's a secret."
In fact, there was no need to remind him.
At this moment, the old team leader was still in a state of shock and confusion. He probably would not be able to recover for a long time.
