Su Xue had only just arrived in Guangzhou today. She had an appointment with the person in charge of Huya TV, so she wasn't in a hurry to go to their headquarters. Plus, they were going to have a meal together later. The group of seven unpacked their luggage in their hotel room and headed straight for Tianhe District Stadium. [Read]
The stadium was very close to the hotel. They didn't even need a taxi. Under Chu Fangnan's lead, they arrived at their destination on foot.
As soon as they entered the stadium, Lin Feng and the others couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
"Wow! So cool!"
"It looks even bigger than the stadium we played in in Shanghai!"
"So the E-Sports Association here is also in charge of the Top 36 matches in Guangzhou? That's a lot of money!"
Indeed, compared to the competition venues that the Shanghai Telecommunications Association's team had visited in the East China region for the knockout round, this Tianhe District Stadium was obviously much more luxurious in terms of size and interior decoration.
Chu Fangnan chuckled.
"The Asian Games were held here before, so the scale and decoration are definitely not low-end."
However, due to the upcoming League of Legends National University League's top 36 knockout matches in the stadium, the various interior decorations had changed drastically in just a few days.
Colorful lights were neatly arranged on the dome of the stadium.
The audience seats were arranged in rows. The first three rows of seats were made of high-end and comfortable soft seats, while the back row was made of the latest ergonomic portable chairs.
Two rows of gaming rings stood side by side on the high-end stage. The latest gaming computers and keyboard and mouse equipment could be clearly seen through the shiny glass of the arena. The streamlined, artificial gaming mice and brand new mechanical keyboards were obviously expensive.
"This place … is really big."
Zhang Hao couldn't help but sigh.
Lin Feng's eyes lit up. "Oh, if only we could train in a place like this."
For example, the Shanghai Television Association's representative team usually trained in a small private room in the NetBowl Internet Cafe. Although the computer and keyboard in the internet cafe weren't too bad, they were still a far cry from truly professional e-sports facilities.
Ceng Rui shook his head, interrupting Lin Feng's daydream.
"Let's go register backstage first.
We're probably the last ones to arrive. "
…
In fact, the National Top 36 Knockout Tournament held in Guangzhou this time had already started the team check-in process yesterday afternoon. The time was to end before 12: 30 PM today.
By the time Lin Feng and the others arrived, most of the other top 36 teams had already signed in. At that moment, there were only six or seven participating teams left in the competition hall. They had probably rushed over from other cities to sign in at the last minute.
Backstage, they found the organizer's staff. Chu Fang Nan stepped forward to verify the identities of the Shanghai TV Corporation's representatives. Then, Lin Feng and the others handed over their IDs one by one. After the registration was completed, the morning's mission was more or less complete.
At that moment, Lin Feng was still looking around curiously.
"Eh, the other teams seem to be leaving —"
An Xin had just received her ID card from Chu Fangnan when she heard Lin Feng's words.
"Yeah, they should have arrived earlier than us. They've already registered."
As she spoke, the girl paused for a moment. She swept her gaze over the figures of the other high school teams in the stadium not too far away.
"But … I don't think I see any of the veteran teams from the past."
Ceng Rui nodded. "Yeah. Maybe some of them registered yesterday."
He then turned his gaze to the other high school teams in the distance.
"The team near the door should be Wuhan University.
The team about to walk out should be Southwest University of Political Science & Law. "
"The one closest to us …"
"Yeah. If I remember correctly, it should be Guizhou University of Science and Technology."
Ceng Rui's tone was as calm as usual, but with this nonchalant tone, he had actually revealed the identities of the few high school teams that had yet to leave the competition venue.
Tang Bingyao's eyes widened.
"Amazing!"
Lin Feng was also amazed. "Huh? Ceng, you know all of them? How did you do it? "
Ceng Rui's expression was calm as he casually replied, "There were pictures of the top 36 teams on the official website. I just happened to see them and memorized them."
"You memorized them after seeing them?"
Su Xue couldn't help but click her tongue.
"Isn't his memory a little too good?"
Zhang Hao, on the other hand, looked a little proud. He explained on behalf of Ceng Rui, "That's our captain's strongest point. He can remember everything clearly after reading it once, including all kinds of team information, and even the details of the strengths and weaknesses of the players in each position. He can remember everything with just one brain."
Chu Fangnan had a faint smile on his face as he listened.
He had heard about Ceng Rui's forte a long time ago.
It was precisely because of this that the Shanghai Esports Association had placed the former captain of the Shanghai High School team on their list of key trainees.
Lin Feng made a fuss when he heard this.
"That's amazing! Then doesn't that mean he can memorize everything after reading it once? "
Zhang Hao nodded proudly. "Yeah. Our captain is a straight-A student from Shanghai High School."
Ceng Rui nodded in agreement. He didn't say anything else.
Lin Feng sighed. "Sigh, if only I had that kind of superpower … Studying is so annoying. Oh right, I've been getting a lot of homework lately. Ceng, why don't you help me out later?"
"… Get lost."
… …
While the representatives of the Shanghai Television Association were chatting backstage, the other high school teams that had yet to leave the venue couldn't help but glance over at them.
There was no other reason than that they recognized Lin Feng and the others.
These high school teams didn't have a photographic memory like Ceng Rui, but the characteristics of the Shanghai Esports Association team were too obvious.
"Those girls are so good-looking —"
"They should be the Shanghai Esports Association team, right? They're the only team with girls. "
"But why are there three girls? Damn, I don't even know how to describe their looks! Is that girl who looks more mature also a member of their team? "
"I thought it was just a rumor. I didn't expect it to be true."
"And I heard they beat Zhejiang University?"
"The three high school teams this year … all look very strong."
The members of several high school teams were all whispering to each other and discussing in low voices.
Originally, the reputation of the Shanghai Esports Association team wasn't enough to go beyond the East China region. But when the top 36 of the national finals came out, the three high school teams selected by the Esports Association attracted the attention of other high school teams.
After a little investigation, these high school teams were immediately shocked to find that the Shanghai Esports Association team had defeated Zhejiang University team in the top eight of the region.
And …
In that round of the top eight, Zhejiang University team also had Adisi, the former professional mid laner who had recently returned to the professional esports circle and caused a stir in the national server!
That was incredible.
The high school teams from the other regions couldn't believe it, but they also couldn't help but be wary.
To be able to defeat Zhejiang University …
This Shanghai Esports Association team was definitely strong!
They had to pay more attention to it!
