Another song ended, and Chen Lei and Zhang Yuan left the stage.
The audience was still waiting for the next song, but Chen Lei did not return to the stage. Instead, he walked up to one of the GPL league hosts.
GOG's international invitational tournament was in Europe this time. Thus, most of the hosts and commentators of the GPL league went to Europe. However, they did not go at the same time. They went in batches, and a small portion of them did not go because of visa problems.
Some of the hosts who did not go were pulled to the GPL league venue to make a guest appearance. Some went to various cities across the country to commentate on the second, third, and nth live scene.
This could be said to be killing two birds with one stone. Not only would they have work to do, but the audience in various cities would also be taken care of and be able to listen to different official commentaries.
All the programs on the stage this time, including Chen Lei and Zhang Yuan's singing and the host's appearance, were all done in the GPL venue. They were broadcast live to all the offline spectators in the country. There were also special live-stream rooms.
Many audience members were unhappy to see the host come up.
"Eh? Where's Chen Lei? "
"Let Chen Lei continue singing! He hasn't had enough yet! "
"That's enough. Chen Lei sang so many songs. How tired must he be? Does he really think he's having a concert? I suggest Boss Zhang come up for the lucky draw! Let's draw a thousand heroes and skins first! "
"There's still an hour before the competition starts. Chen Lei is going down now. Are we going to start the second half?"
"Don't arrange any awkward dance performance or cosplay performance!"
The audience was still wondering what was going on when the host revealed the answer.
Under the host's introduction, ten players wearing the DGE Club's uniform went up on stage. After greeting the audience, they sat in front of the computers of both teams.
This was the exclusive benefit of watching the competition in China, a warm-up match between the two teams of the DGE Club!
These two teams were already the Nth batch of teams that the DGE Club had nurtured. It was already unclear how many batches it was.
That was because these two teams had always been old and new. People came and went, and not all of them were sold out at once.
In any case, as long as the clubs lacked people, they would buy from the DGE Club. Then, the DGE Club would go to the youth training to continue looking for good seedlings.
At first, the audience was quite unhappy to see Chen Lei come down, and the bullet screen comments expressed their dissatisfaction. However, seeing that DGE was playing a warm-up match, the bullet screen comments changed instantly.
"This is good! Let Chen Lei rest! "
"I wonder how DGE is doing this year. Don't embarrass Huang Wang, Jiang Huan, and the other seniors!"
"Welcome to the DGE Club's live promotional conference. The player who wins the MVP will receive the appreciation of the major clubs and an annual salary of tens of millions!"
"Bosses, the new batch of DGE contestants has been released. Get ready to pay for them!"
"Damn, isn't he putting pressure on the participating teams? If we don't do well in the international competition, the boss will buy a newcomer from DGE on the spot. The old players will be very motivated! "
The atmosphere, which had been heated up by Chen Lei's singing to warm up the crowd, was now raised to another level.
As the weirdest club in the country and even the world, the legend of the DGE Club had been circulating in the industry.
When GOG was still in its infancy, the members of the DGE Club had conquered the audience with their powerful strength and strong muscles. The ten members had been split into various teams, allowing the standards of the entire GPL league to improve by leaps and bounds.
Many people thought that the DGE Club would gradually fall into silence and decline after the first batch of ten celebrity players were bought out. However, the truth was the opposite.
The DGE Club had maintained such a high standard!
That was because the DGE Club had become an excellent springboard, a place that the most talented young players in the country wanted to enter.
Everyone knew that they could be teammates with the most outstanding young players in the DGE Club. What's more, after a period of training, as long as they performed well, they would be directly signed by the major platforms at a high price. There was no need to worry about child labor contracts causing them to work for the club at a low price at their peak.
For other clubs, firstly, the DGE Club was Boss Pei's business. It had an official background and had to be taken care of properly. Secondly, DGE's training and screening also reduced the risk of failing to poach players.
In any case, as long as it was a famous player in the DGE Club, it would not be wrong to buy them with their eyes closed.
All these factors combined led to most of the most outstanding young players of the new generation to be gilded in the DGE Club.
It was hard to say now. Was it because the DGE Club had a good way of training, or was it because the DGE Club was too famous, resulting in a good source of students? Were the young trainees so talented that they could stand out just by playing a little?
In any case, most clubs and audiences would look to the DGE Club as long as they wanted to dig out potential newcomers.
It could be said that arranging a warm-up match for the DGE Club this time was killing two birds with one stone.
For the audience, warming up the field in advance would allow the audience to enter the state of watching the competition in advance. It was more interesting to watch the competition than to talk awkwardly.
For the DGE players, it could let them train their mentality in the competition and pave the way for them to officially play professionally in the future.
For the major clubs, they could take this opportunity to see the quality of the new batch of DGE players and see the outstanding players inside and prepare to buy them.
It was indeed quite difficult to arrange a warm-up program for esports competitions.
That was because the audience of esports competitions really did not like many things.
Doing cosplay or dancing in a girl group might not be popular.
A slightly better activity would be singing, which was considered a more universal and acceptable activity. However, if singing for more than an hour, the audience would also be tired of singing.
What everyone wanted to see the most was the competition.
Therefore, it was best to arrange a warm-up match. What's more, this warm-up match had to have a certain weight on both sides so that it could maximize the emotions of the audience.
From the looks of it, this arrangement could be said to be quite successful and attracted unanimous praise from the domestic audience.
The competition between DGE Team One and Two officially began amidst the cheers of the audience!
The lads on both sides had already given their all for this day. They tried their best to play out everything they had in training. They did not lose to the operation and execution of the professional team at all, especially the unique drive of young people. The cheers of the audience were getting louder and louder.
Occasionally, there would be some actions that would cause them to eat due to nervousness, causing the audience to laugh and boo.
There would always be bullet screen comments in the live-stream every time there was a wonderful scene or a scene where they ate.
"This player killed two people at the top of the tower. His value doubled!"
"Why did this support flash into the wall? His value is zero! "
"The jungler of Team One is not bad. His estimated value is five million yuan a year. Is there any higher?"
The bullet screen comments began to estimate his value, making the live-stream seem like a market. The effect of the program was maxed out.
While the other regions in the world were still watching the competition highlights and listening to the commentators, the domestic audience had already entered the state of watching the competition in advance!
…
Backstage of the GPL venue …
Zhang Yuan was scrolling through the forum to see the audience's comments on his performance on stage.
The comments were quite positive, but there were slightly more people urging him to draw the lottery.
Obviously, everyone's motives were not simple.
Chen Lei teased, "Brother Zhang, you're still a treasure. Are you interested in being a guest singer for my next concert?"
Zhang Yuan chuckled and said, "Forget it. I know what I'm capable of."
"Actually, to tell you the truth …"
Zhang Yuan lowered his voice. "I'm not singing on stage this time to show off. I just want to avoid trouble."
Chen Lei was stunned. "Avoid trouble? Why do you say that? "
He was a little confused. What 'trouble' could Zhang Yuan have?
The DGE Club was the most profitable club in the country because other clubs had to continuously spend money to buy people in order to achieve results. Their expenses were huge, but DGE purely sold people. What's more, they sold all kinds of peripherals.
As for the E-Sports Department, it made the GPL league flourish.
Zhang Yuan's transition from Fish-Catching Internet Cafe to E-Sports was obviously very successful. He was breaking through the waves and moving up smoothly. What was going on with avoiding trouble?
What's more, how could he avoid trouble?
Why was he avoiding trouble just by singing on stage?
Zhang Yuan looked around and saw that there was no one around. Chen Lei was a good brother that he trusted. Thus, he lowered his voice and poured out his troubles. "It's all because of Bao Xu's so-called suffering trip!
"The first batch of people in charge has already gone to Shennongjia. I think there's only one or two weeks left. The second batch will be on their way.
"The first batch of people in charge are all important people in charge of Tengda's core departments like Huang Sibo, Hu Xianbin, Xiao Peng, and the others. None of them escaped. They've all been caught!
"I think Xiao Peng is taking the bullet for me. If I were still in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Xiao Peng's name would have been changed to mine.
"However, I can't hide forever. Now that the GOG World Finals are starting, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape Boss Pei's sight …"
Zhang Yuan was filled with sorrow.
When the first batch of names was released, he already felt a chill down his spine. He felt that something was wrong.
To save himself, Zhang Yuan had racked his brains and racked his brains.
Now that the scythe of suffering trip was about to fall on him, how could he not be anxious?
Chen Lei was shocked. "Huh? There's such a thing? However, can singing a song on stage save us from suffering trip? Are you sure? "
Zhang Yuan shook his head. "I'm not sure, but it's worth a try.
"Actually, this is the latest theoretical research result of my colleagues in the HR department. I'm just trying out a pioneering concept. I can't guarantee success, but what if I succeed?"
Chen Lei's interest was piqued. "The latest theoretical research result?
"My goodness, the HR department is also in charge of theoretical research?"
Zhang Yuan nodded. "Of course. The Tengda spirit was summarized by the HR department. I have to say that it's quite useful.
"There are changes in the content summarized by the HR department this time. I took a look and realized that this was the original intention of Boss Pei's suffering trip, right? That was most likely the standard answer! Thus, I immediately decided to copy it and give it a try.
