Lin Mengmeng went to the rest area behind the gymnasium to have a rest.
There is still a period of time before the start of the game. Thinking that leisure is also leisure, Hao Yun wanders around the field.
At the same time, near the grandstand on the west side of the gymnasium, Li Zongzheng and Lin Jun are standing idle and bored.
All the work had been arranged before the game started, but there was not much they needed to do.
The vast majority of Warcraft players are relatively high quality, players enter from the player channel, players also orderly by virtue of the game ID certification, enter from the main entrance of the stadium.
There are at least thirty or fifty thousand people in the dark area.
In fact, this number has exceeded the expectation of cloud dream game.
At first, everyone thought it would be great to have 20000 people, but they didn''t expect that the stadium would be so crowded that they could hardly find a place to stay in the corridor leading to the auditorium.
Looking at the sea of people not far away, Li Zongzheng, standing in the stands, sighed.
"It''s a blood loss that we don''t charge tickets."
As a member of the Warcraft design team, he is in favor of charging tickets for the competition.
It''s natural to pay for the tickets to watch the game, whether it''s basketball or football.
Only by establishing a sound payment system can we ensure that the war roar cup will continue to be held one after another, instead of ending up in the future because of budget problems.
"How can it be called blood loss?" Lin Jun said with a smile, "take a long-term view. What we need to do now is not to collect wool from the competition, but to find a way to expand the market. Wait two more times, let''s send a loss report, not to mention the tickets, that is, the donation players are willing to! "
Li Zongzheng rolled his eyes and didn''t want to hear his nonsense.
At this time, Lin Jun looked at his watch and suddenly asked.
"Is that hao12345 coming?"
Li Zongzheng shook his head and said.
"No, what''s the matter?"
The expression on Lin Jun''s face is a little strange. He said slowly.
"You say... What if he doesn''t come in the end?"
Li Zongzheng slightly stupefied, subconsciously replied.
"No... he promised to come."
When he said this, Li Zongzheng''s voice did not have much confidence.
Normally, the game will start soon. Even if he doesn''t arrive a few hours in advance, this guy should have come to say hello.
So far, however, he has not received a call from his assistant.
Before that, he repeatedly stressed with his assistant that as long as hao12345 signs in at the gym, he should call him immediately
Are you really pigeoned?
Thinking of this, Li Zongzheng began to panic.
"Promise is promise, but it''s not already here," Lin Jun shook his head. "Have you signed the contract? Or did you give her money? "
Li Zongzheng said awkwardly.
"We started talking about giving him money... But he refused."
Hearing this, Lin Jun sighed.
"Come on... Expect the audience to forget about it."
……
It''s the first time for everyone to hold this kind of competition, and it''s normal to have no experience.
However, it is obviously impossible to expect players to forget the pie on the poster.
In particular, cloud dream game has created enough mystery for hao12345, and almost everyone is curious about his real identity.
In this case, hao12345 I did not come, even did not participate in the opening ceremony, you can imagine the views of the players will be how big.
In the discussion community of creative workshop, some people have posted their dissatisfaction.
"Did you invite people?"
"Japan, isn''t it false propaganda?"
"I think this competition is aimed at the idol''s respect. As a result, you told me that he was not at the opening ceremony on the first day?"
"Ah, it''s a vain trip!"
It is said that those who come here for hao12345 speak with some exaggeration.
But it''s true that almost all the players present were more or less disappointed when they failed to see the No. 1 man in the Ares list at the opening ceremony.
However, although there must be disappointment, there are also many surprises.
The audience who didn''t see the digital God, but in the commentary lineup announced on the scene, unexpectedly waited for Mr. Hao who didn''t appear on the poster!
As the designer of Warcraft, no one has more say in this game than him.
The grand opening ceremony without procrastination soon ended, and the f-round competition began immediately after it.
In this round of competition, a total of 10 rounds, each round of 10 players to fight, and determined five places of interest.
On the stage in front of the gymnasium, ten computers are arranged in a small arc V-shape facing the audience.
In addition to the keyboard and mouse, there is also a can of Red Bull energy drink and a bottle of mineral water without label on the table, which is like a small Internet bar.
There is a big screen between the players and the audience. The organizer will decide to play the match on the screen and explain the situation according to the votes of the audience.
Considering the fairness of the competition, and in order to prevent the competitors from being disturbed by the atmosphere in the field, all the competitors will be forced to wear active noise reduction earphones, and basically can only hear their own voice in the game.
If you take off the headset, or turn off the noise reduction function, it will be considered cheating, and the two warnings will automatically disqualify you.
Generally speaking, those who are voted to play on the big screen are the top 100 players.
For example, night God with millions of fans.
He and the forum well-known player "DK blade" duel, then with an absolute advantage of the number of votes on the big screen.
The game entered the pre war preparation stage, and the staff carried out the final debugging of the equipment for the game.
On the commentary stand.
Li Feifei, a well-known video producer who serves as an official commentator, looks at Mr. Hao sitting next to him in surprise.
"Although I heard that the organizer would arrange a partner for me, I didn''t expect it was you."
Hao Yun said with a smile.
"Isn''t it a surprise?"
"What a surprise Li Feifei continued with a smile, "before, I always thought my partner was the digital God. I didn''t expect to wait for the chief designer of Warcraft! Mr. Hao, to be honest, I have always been your fan! May I ask you a question? "
Hao Yun nodded with a smile.
"If it''s about games."
"Of course, it must be about the game. Although I believe that the audience is more curious about you than the game, it''s at the scene of the game after all, "joked Li Feifei, skillfully and naturally bringing the topic back to the main topic." it''s said that in order to support the Warcraft team, the cloud dream game has given many favorable conditions, but the competition system is 1v1 individual competition, So that the vast majority of players compete in their own name... I believe it''s not just me who will have such questions. What''s the purpose of the official doing this? "
"The rules of 1v1 mainly take into account the rhythm of the game. RTS games are different from other games. Once the number of units increases, the details will have little impact on the whole game. We have considered the match between 2v2 and 3v3 before, but after the research, we found that the balance of multiplayer competition can''t be controlled at all. In the end, it''s easy to develop into a sea of airplanes or tanks, which is neither ornamental nor technical, and the role of heroes in the war situation will be weakened... So we gave up in the end. "
Li Feifei asked.
"In other words, the team game is a shelved project?"
Hao Yun shook his head.
"It can''t be shelved. To be exact, it''s an attempt we made. Cloud dream game is not an enterprise satisfied with the status quo. The competition we plan to play in the future is not only Warcraft. We will develop more interesting ways to play, and the team competition of 3 to 5 people has always been the field we are exploring. "
"A team of three to five? For Warcraft this game is really a bit difficult Li Feifei nodded thoughtfully, joked and said, "if it''s from the Entertainment Bureau, it''s OK to say, but if it''s a game... It''s not a small pressure on us to explain."
Hao Yun said with a smile.
"Understandably, the scene must have been in a hurry."
At this time, Li Feifei suddenly from Hao Yun''s words, keen to capture a detail.
"Do you mean that there is a new plan for cloud dream game? And this new work will be a team game? "
Hao Yun did not directly answer this question, but gave him and all the players an imaginative smile.
"It''s not necessarily a new game, it could be a new rule. Warcraft is a RTS game, but is RTS the only way to play Warcraft? "
"On this point, I believe that every player here has more say than me."
