Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Lyon didn't know whether his comfort was useful, but the game would not be postponed because of one player's nervousness.

The opening ceremony was very brief. After the teams made their debut, Underground Abandoned sang the theme song of this competition. There was also a spectacular illusion video showing the hero accessories and costumes in the theme of the event.

There are two types of costumes: accessories and suits. Accessories can replace some of the original equipment on the hero's appearance, and you can choose your favorite combination.

A suit replaces the entire body, and usually the shape and special effects are cooler than those made up of accessories.

Of course, it’s also more expensive.

Not only that, both accessories and sets are extremely rare.

Items of low rarity have clear prices, while items of high rarity depend entirely on lottery.

That's Drogo, it would be strange if he didn't smoke.

These are also the sources of tournament prize money.

The Drogo Group is quite generous in this regard, taking out 50% of the revenue from the event costumes as a prize pool, which will be distributed to all participating teams based on the final ranking.

There are even teams that are eliminated in the group stage, so for those small teams without much sponsorship, as long as they can make it to the main competition, they will make a lot of money.

From this perspective, the teams that made it through the auditions may be more relaxed.

I don't have high expectations for the final results. I've already made a lot of money anyway. It would be great if I can go further, but it won't be too bad if I can't. I can just treat it as a big party and do my best.

But it is precisely because of this mentality that we may be able to play even better.

In addition to the rewards that all teams can share, the champion will naturally receive special treatment.

Custom accessories.

Choose a hero you like, provided that he has appeared in the game, specified part, and specified design.

The Sons of the Twin Towers had actually discussed quietly in private what kind of heroes they wanted to make equipment for.

Zhan Wang chose the Grand Mage without hesitation. Ever since he was beaten badly by Toto with the Grand Mage in the middle lane, he fell in love with this extremely difficult hero.

I always fantasize about taking it out in a life-and-death game, cutting in precisely during a crucial team fight, performing an unstoppable combo, and reversing the situation.

The truth is that because I chose the Grand Mage immediately, I have lost hundreds of points in the ladder.

The worse you are, the more you like to play.

Leon never said what hero accessories he wanted, but he actually thought about the Deer Shapeshifter, a half-human, half-deer auxiliary who could charm wild monsters to control them himself, and had magic darts to supplement damage, which was an important part of his treatment and advancement system.

But he didn't tell his teammates because he felt that if such things were revealed before they actually won the championship, it would affect their luck.

Moreover, Leon thought it was a bit shameful for a man like him to play with a cute spirit deer shapeshifter.

So he insisted that he didn't like the spirit deer, but only used it because the lineup required it.

Tens of thousands of spectators in the audience were so shocked by the magnificent magic show that they exclaimed in amazement.

Lyon and his friends didn't have the chance to watch the show.

As the party that will open the match, the Son of the Twin Towers has already arrived at the battle room.

In the transparent glass room, five virtual masks printed with the event logo are placed on seats full of technology.

The moment they entered the battle room, the cheers in the audience disappeared immediately.

A very advanced soundproofing spell; not a single sound from outside can come in.

In some competitions I participated in before, the soundproofing measures used were quite inadequate. Even if the audience spoke louder, the players could hear it.

When participating in that kind of competition, even the playing style has to be changed. A lot of dark and dirty tricks cannot be used, especially stealing the home base.

As long as you show the slightest sign of wanting to steal the house, the audience will excitedly exclaim "Oh——".

Then the opponent knows.

The only good thing is that if the audience appeal of the two parties is not particularly different, then "Oh——" is fair to both parties and no one can steal.

But if one side is playing at home, then it’s all over…

The War King excitedly studied the high-end chairs provided by the organizer.

"Wow! Look, look, it can adjust to so many angles!"

He really wasn't nervous at all.

Lyon ignored the War King and looked at their number three position.

This young man, who was making his debut in the competition, hasn't spoken a word since he said he was nervous.

It was not difficult to tell from his dazed look that he had not adjusted himself but was completely frightened.

"Hey, hey Bill!" Leon said, "What's wrong? You have the same name as the villain in Shadow of the Demon. How can such a small scene scare you?"

He wanted to divert Bill's attention.

"Captain, don't mention this." Bill smiled bitterly.

He has been teased a lot because he has the same name as the villain in The Silence of the Lambs.

"I see. You're more powerful than Buffalo Bill, so you won't be afraid at all."

"No..." Bill looked embarrassed.

"It's nothing wrong. You can hear no cheering outside. When you enter the game, you can't see anything. It's just like in normal training."

"Same as in training?"

"Yes, just like in training, you are no worse than the devils on the other side. You are in the top 30 of the ladder. You are the top three position. Remember, you are the top three position. Come on, say it with me, you are the top three position!"

"I'm a top three, I'm a top three..."

Leon used the "brainwashing" tactic to brainwash Bill crazily.

As the captain, I have different alternative lines of speech for different team members.

Someone like Bill who lacks confidence needs crazy encouragement. As for someone like Zhan Wang, he can't even get a word of encouragement. If you dare to encourage him, he will really be bold.

"All players, enter the game."

Said the referee in the fighting room.

Several people put on virtual masks one after another, and the first moment they entered the game, Bill's voice with a slightly tearful tone was heard in the voice channel.

"Captain, you can see the audience."

Hearing Bill's words, Leon looked around curiously.

I have to say that the atmosphere of the competition was really good.

Outside the huge battlefield guarding the ruins, there are densely packed virtual audience images, and the steep auditorium is higher than the real arena.

These are the players who watch the match directly in-game.

There is even sound, and a director is responsible for managing the audience channel, and can selectively play positive cheers.

Leon was speechless. Is it necessary to make such details so complicated?

……

"Hello, audience friends, welcome to the first Invitational Tournament for Guarding the Ruins. The opening match of this tournament is about to begin. The two teams competing are the Devil Legion with the highest average ladder score!"

"Shut up!"

There was a huge booing from the audience.

Although the Devils’ public image has improved somewhat nowadays, the games in Felin are still away games across the continent.

Coupled with their strong strength in all projects, they are definitely positioned as villains.

They also enjoy playing such villains, and the entire race has ample experience in this regard.

And even though the audience booed, the sales of peripheral products were still good, there were many fans on social platforms, and there was no shortage of advertising sponsorship.

He is considered a popular villain.

"And, from the pearl of southern Sutton, Twin Towers City, the Sons of Twin Towers, which is composed of legendary Red Alert professional players and talented young players in the ladder!"

"Oh!"

"Charge! Son of the Twin Towers!"

"Beat the devil!" Although the event was held in Waterdeep, it was no different from the home court of the Sons of the Twin Towers.

It’s not just because the audience in the Twin Towers City are rich, a large number of them follow the club to “go on the expedition”.

Also because of the hype they have created on the Internet in recent years, their operational capabilities are stronger than their hard power. What is the Internet celebrity team?

So even though the Sons of the Twin Towers are ranked several places lower than the Legion of Hell in the championship predictions, it does not stop the audience from supporting them.

"I am the commentator for this game, Bronzebeard."

On one side of the arena, in the commentary room, a dwarf with several gold pendants hanging on his beard spoke passionately.

Next to him, a passionless voice sounded, "I am the special commentator for this game, Drogo."

When they heard Drogo's voice, the whole audience immediately burst into boos even louder than when they introduced the devil just now.

A true reflection of Drogo's mass base.

Who could like a dragon that keeps trying to take the gold coins out of your pocket?

The key is to succeed every time.

Zhuo Ge will come as a guest commentator not only to use his own traffic to build momentum for the game, but also to increase the program effect during the commentary.

As we all know, there are many things that commentators cannot say.

Especially when commentating on a popular team, there are many truths that must not be spoken.

All they can do is repeat the same thing over and over again: "It's not a loss, it's okay, small mistake, not a big impact, the play was fine, the tactics were not well arranged, luck was not on their side..."

There is no way if you really say the truth like "Your 'brother' is so bad that he is festering and has an epidemic. The data cannot reflect the damage he has done to the team."

Then get ready for a storm on the internet.

No, it's not just the Internet. Feilin's fans are very active and dare to be real offline.

This also means that commentators have to choose conservative and safe commentary methods.

The narration is a bit boring.

But Drogo doesn't care about what his fans say. He is ready to criticize every stupid move on the field.

He has to bear all the infamy and the show's effect.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter if someone scolds you.

Faced with the booing audience, Hong Long had his own plan.

"The cheers here aren't enthusiastic enough. If everyone cheers more enthusiastically, I will randomly pick 100 people from the audience and give them rare accessories."

Before he finished speaking, the boos in the arena immediately turned into cheers.

You can curse in your heart and shout out loud.

Draw some accessories? Not bad.

A rare accessory costs quite a few silver coins.

“One draw per game.”

The scene was completely crazy.

After a straightforward but effective warm-up game, the opening match officially began.

"In the first game, the Devil's side will ban and pick first. Let's see which heroes they will choose to ban?"

Bronzebeard entered the working state, "Lightning Wanderer? The devil's first hand gave it to the middle lane. A little information, among the Sons of the Twin Towers, the one with the highest ladder score is their middle lane player, Zhan Wang, who is very good at using flexible heroes like Lightning Wanderer."

In the first game, neither side knew much.

The ban of Son of the Twin Towers was very common, banning three strong heroes with high win rates in the ladder.

The Hell Legion targeted the War King severely, and all three banned positions were given to the middle lane.

"It seems that the demons attach great importance to this battle king contestant."

"It could also be that he doesn't care about the other four."

Drogo is good at fanning the flames.

Bronzebeard felt that his career was facing unprecedented challenges.

There are some things the boss dares to say, but he doesn't dare to respond.

"Ahem, let's see what the Devil Legion's first choice is. Will they first conservatively choose the support, or will they directly seize the middle lane and continue to exert pressure..."

"Sure enough, the Devil Legion grabbed the Fire Element first. They wanted to completely suppress the War King in the middle lane. And what about the counterattack of the Son of the Twin Towers?"

"Satyr Forge?"

An illusion of a dwarf holding a war hammer appeared on the battlefield.

As a dwarf himself, Bronzebeard commentator also likes this hero very much. He has played it a lot and knows it very well, so he doesn’t understand why the Son of the Twin Towers made this choice.

"The Crucible is a teamfight hero, but his ultimate skill, Arena, is countered by the Fire Element. The Fire Element can use the Elemental Spirit to fly directly out of the arena wall. Is this move of the Son of the Twin Towers some special tactic?"

Drogo continued, "Maybe there is no choice. Bill, the third position of the Twin Towers, has no experience in other events. Maybe he is already panicking, so we have to choose the hero he is most familiar with and not care about restraint."

“Believing in your own unique skills is sometimes not a bad choice, and it may work wonders.”

This was the only explanation Bronzebeard could give.

The bans and picks in this game were very quick, and it seemed like both sides tried their best to find their form.

The regular lineup did not dampen the audience's excitement.

"Oh my god, the giant axe demon looks so cool!"

"The spirit deer shapeshifter is so cute, little deer, hehehe, my little deer..."

"Eh... you actually like heroes whose lower body is a deer. You're really perverted, but I am too."

"It's tasteful. I have a collection of paintings of deer here."

"Is it serious? I don't read serious art books."

"of course not."

"Then borrow one and have a look..."

Amidst the noise, the first game began and ten heroes from both sides entered the battlefield.

Supporters from all sides in the audience tried their best to cheer for their favorite teams.

Whether it was pre-match predictions, online discussions, or odds given by sports lottery organizations, the Son of the Twin Towers was slightly inferior.

A small disadvantage means that the disadvantage is not big. In other words, it should be a game that is close to being evenly matched.

However, the process shown in the game was completely different.

In just twenty minutes, the head-to-head ratio had reached three to ten, the Devil's Ten.

The economic gap was 8,000, and all three outer towers of the Son of the Twin Towers were lost, and the economic ranking of the core position was turned into a "traffic light".

The three devils with red economic bars occupy the top three, and the three core members of the Sons of the Twin Towers are four to six.

Huge disadvantage.

In the twenty-minute period when the game should have become intense, most of the suspense seemed to have been lost.

The most embarrassing thing is Bill at position three.

He is ranked sixth in economy, and is about to be caught up by the devil's fourth position support who is ranked seventh in economy.

Although ranked, it's number three or four, it sounds like there's only one difference.

In fact, there is a huge gap in the amount of resources consumed by these two positions. It is rare for the fourth position to catch up with the third position, which is even greater than the disadvantage of 8,000 in 20 minutes.

"This Satyr Crucible is truly a kindhearted hero. Not only did he keep his hands clean for twenty minutes, he also used his Hammer of Kindness to save the enemy many times..."

Drogo explained jokingly.

If the hammer of the furnace does not hit the enemy against a wall or tree, it will move the enemy a short distance, that is, "help" the enemy escape. (End of this chapter)
