Chapter 252 Zhao Xiaobao, Going to Riyadh

Adults weigh the pros and cons and calculate gains and losses.

Young people like to be reckless, dare to fight, think, act and rush forward, and they don’t think too much at all.

Luo Chong is not that materialistic, not that calculative, not that concerned with costs, and not that concerned with saving money.

In fact, he can put most of the sponsorship fees and copyright fees of the CXG Genius Cup into his own pocket, so he doesn't need to spend so much on rewards.

The prize pool for the tournament is US$2 million, and it’s for an individual tournament.

All the professional players were extremely jealous.

After they compete in a tournament, the prize money they win is shared by the team, which is nothing compared to an individual prize of 500,000 yuan.

This is exactly the effect Luo Chong wants.

There is no consideration at all to minimize costs.

Because he understands that once he considers the cost issue, he will inevitably take measures to reduce costs, which will ultimately be reflected in the competitions, players, and so on.

Money is something outside of one's body, he just wants to do this job well and beautifully.

……

As the offseason arrives.

The CS event was put on hold, but its popularity also declined significantly.

But there are always topics that will increase the heat.

The offseason is also a transfer period, and all major teams are changing the situation within the team, either by demoting players or buying players.

G2 first demoted nexa, and then as expected by the outside world, breath was announced to be demoted, ending his G2 command career.

As a result, the outside world speculated who the new commander of G2 would be, and who the new member would be after nexa was demoted.

Luo Chong still pays attention to these.

But he himself is also busy.

Normally, Wang Jie, Li Xiang and Sen Po don’t train much.

Generally, it's just for fun and entertainment.

Only during training camp do they start training seriously.

In the past, they all thought that they should train more and practice their shooting skills more so that they could maintain their feel.

Later, when this guy Senpo came and I talked to him, I realized that he was just talking nonsense.

Many professional players don’t practice shooting or training in normal times. They only start playing a few games during the pre-match training camp to practice synchronization and coordination.

"There is not much point in practicing marksmanship. No one's marksmanship can be acquired by feeding."

"Play less ladder, otherwise you will learn a lot of bad ladder habits, and then you will make big mistakes if you play them subconsciously in the game."

"Why do many teams have training camps before the game? Because playing too many games will wear down your form. In fact, it's better to just stay in a stable and positive state."

"I can get my touch back through training."

Luo Chong agreed deeply with this.

He has also emphasized before that talent in e-sports is the threshold for making a living in e-sports.

If you don’t have talent, you’d better not think about making a living in e-sports.

You think that diligence can make up for lack of talent, and you think that if you practice shooting every day and fight BOTs for a few hours, your shooting skills will improve.

In fact, when you face talented players, they don’t fight BOTs, but use BOTs to practice their shooting skills every day, and you can’t take care of yourself.

This is the gap in talent.

Effort and hard work cannot make up for it.

I've never heard of any celebrity or professional player who became a professional player by practicing shooting very hard.

He also knew that there were quite a few people who didn't train, didn't play in the ladder, and hardly touched the game before a competition.

For example, carrying things, the rain god, etc.

therefore.

CXG does not emphasize training during the off-season, allowing players to do whatever they want.

of course.

Wang Jie, Li Xiang, Niu Tianyu, and even Luo Chong are all internet addicts.

No training, right?
But they still play games without any delay.

As for Moriha, he went on a date by himself.

Now, with the EWC, the Riyadh Esports World Cup approaching.

The offseason is coming to an end.

All the major teams started training, and CXG did not dare to fall behind, so naturally they started pre-match training.

CXG has scheduled training matches with Tianlu, RA, LVG, and Steel Helmet.

The teams were naturally flattered and very happy.

They couldn't even arrange a training match with the world's number one player, so how could they refuse this one that came right to their doorstep?

This kind of training camp definitely cannot be broadcast live.

However, it was not concealed that CXG trained with several domestic teams.

"Sure, with the help of the big brother, LVG, RA, and Tianlu can all gain some experience."

"What? You don't want to talk about the helmet?"

"Steelhelm is in a class of its own. They've beaten CXG before."

"The gold content of the steel helmet has already reached the atmosphere."

"By the way, what's the point of CXG playing against these teams? Don't bully them, you'll end up making yourself lose."

"Fuck, that's really possible. I'm bullying weaklings. Before I know it, I've become one of them."

"Why don't you just broadcast it live for us to see? You're all just Eight Brothers, who are you guarding against?"

"Training matches are usually not broadcast live. You can only watch what they have practiced. What are they going to play in the official matches?"

"I won't say any more. I'm going to watch the Genius Cup. Chong Shen is making a lot of noise."

……

CSBOY live broadcast room.

"Haha, how's it going?"

"How was the training match?"

Ma Xixi looked at Captain Mo with a smirk on his face. Captain Mo looked a little constipated and said, "It's very bad."

"What's wrong?"

"Let's talk about it."

Masisi asked, he already knew the result, but for the live broadcast effect, he should cooperate with the performance to please the audience and perform his best.

"Hey."

"Three to zero."

Team mo shook his head and sighed.

"It's as expected. Do you still want to beat CXG by one point?" Masisi said with a smile: "Although I recognize the value of the helmet, I feel honored."

Team Mo: "All three games were shutouts."

Masisi's smile froze. "Is this true? A shutout?"

The barrage also exploded.

Although CXG is the world's number one team, a clean sheet is not impossible.

But three games, all three were shutouts, this is too crazy.

"Chongshen, Senpo, the prince, and the clan leader can't stop it at all."

Team Mo began to recount Steel Helmet's tragic experience, and said with great melancholy: "The key is that it can't be stopped, and there is also an old coin who suddenly appeared and stole all your people."

It goes without saying who the old coin is. Masisi hurriedly asked, "Have you ever had your bag stolen by the Bull God?"

"Um... I stole it."

Team Mo complained: "I really don't want to say it anymore, it's too disgusting. I don't know the timing of his catching. There was no one at the point you cleared, and he came right after you."

"I didn't feel sick watching the game before, but when I really played against Niu Shen, I realized how painful it was to be caught in timing, and how desperate it was."

Hearing this, Masisi breathed a sigh of relief, "It's okay."

"What good?"

"It can let Bull God steal the bag. The helmet is comparable to G2."

Team Mo: “…”

audience:"……"

"Is this waiting again?"

"Fuck, this interpretation is unbeatable."

"CXG is the best in the world. Steel Helmet has defeated CXG, so Steel Helmet is roughly the best in the world."

"It's almost like fighting against all the international columns."

After CXG finished training matches with several teams, they were in surprisingly good shape and won all of them with zero points, without exception.

Several teams that played against us all posted messages in the chat room to complain, asking if we could be more gentle, otherwise we would not play together next time.

It's called a training match, but this is pure bullying.

Still studying?
What the hell is learning?

Can he learn such a terrifying and clean gun technique just by talking about it? Zhou Shen couldn't help but marvel at it. At this moment, CXG really looked like the invincible dynasty.

"Really, you can't do this next time."

"How can it be so cruel? If our mentality is broken, should we still play the game?"

"That's right, there's no mercy at all. At least give in a little."

In the group chat, players from several teams were complaining, and Niu Zhe was even more arrogant and posted Luo Chong's emoticons to flood the screen.

Luo Chong: “…”

"Okay, I'll treat you guys to dinner later."

"Isn't this to increase your strength? You are just showing off to me, right?"

"Fake Squid."

Niu Zhe: "One meal cannot solve the problem. My mind and spirit have been greatly traumatized. I need extra comfort."

Luo Chong: "Go away..., find a place, set a time, and come over for a meal."

"Row."

The group chat responded one after another.

Luo rushed to the training room and saw that everyone was there, broadcasting live and playing games.

He sat in front of his computer and started tonight's live broadcast.

As soon as the invitation to start the broadcast was sent out, the popularity of the live broadcast room increased rapidly, and the number of VIPs soon exceeded 100,000 and was approaching 200,000.

Luo Chong was a little surprised. In the past, the VIPs had scored more than 100,000 points, but not so many as today.

"What's going on? This is it."

"There are a lot of people today. It's not the weekend."

Luo Chong said with a smile, and asked, "Let's not play games first, let's chat for a while."

"The first round of auditions has begun. How many of you will advance?"

"Let me tell you, as long as you advance to the second stage, you will have a free trip with food and accommodation included. Even if you don't rank, you can still get some small gifts when you come back."

Barrage: "Not participating, get lost."

"You don't want it at the age of eighteen years and thirty-six months."

"I'm not short of money, I don't want anything."

"I'm out of your league, okay? Don't remind me that I'm over 18, thank you."

"Hurry up and explain the Genius Cup. It's still going on."

"Watching the Talent Cup, let's talk about the training match. On the Masisi side, Team MO is complaining about you guys abusing them."

"It's unbelievable. The world's number one is bullying a small team on the 18th tier."

"Captain Mo's expression looks like he's about to cry."

"It's a bit too much indeed."

I was wondering why there were so many people today.

It turns out that the training match was criticized.

Come to think of it, being shut out once is one thing, but being shut out three times is really a huge blow to the mentality.

"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."

Luo Chong hastily defended himself: "We gave them a chance, but they didn't cherish it. The cat is in the old cow of Baodian, they just won't accept it."

"When Lao Niu saw the bag on his face, he had to remove it, otherwise it would be even more insulting."

"So, the only chance was missed by Steel Helmet."

"What can I do."

"CXG takes every game seriously, even if it's a training match!"

"Okay, let's stop talking about this issue and watch the first stage of the Genius Cup."

The audition rules for the first phase of the CXG Genius Cup are very simple and crude, without any frills.

Duel!

Two wins out of three!

Pistols, rifles, sniper rifles and other firearms can be switched and used at will, and there will be no fixed weapon.

What matters is the shooting skills, what matters is the operation.

Simple, it clearly reflects a person's shooting skills.

Whoever wins advances to the next round.

But there were too many people who signed up.

After several rounds, today is the key to advance to the second stage. Fifty players who win the duel will be selected to advance to the second stage.

The audition stage is jokingly called the Gu-raising stage by players.

Raise fifty CN Gu Kings and then compete with foreign Gu Kings.

"it is good."

"Watch this last one."

"Sichuan Chongshen's first point rush."

"Good boy, you're the first to rush, how come I didn't know?"

"Little Prince of Chongqing, what kind of name do you have?"

"Oh my god, the little prince's shooting skills are pretty good, and his split charge is also amazing."

The shooting skills of these two contestants, at least from a sensory perspective, are pleasing to the eye.

Headshot, headshot.

A tinkling sound.

Full of feedback.

But there will always be a winner between the two, and in the end the little prince is more skilled and wins the final spot.

"Pity."

“The split charge was pretty good, but my mentality was a little anxious. As soon as I saw I was behind, I wanted to get it back, and I made mistakes.”

The last show came to an end.

The CXG Genius Cup is also about to start the second stage of knockouts.

The knockout stage conflicts with the Riyadh World Cup.

Luo Chong probably couldn't see it. Of course, this conflict didn't matter to the players of the Genius Cup.

They fight their own battles, one side fights the other.

……

A small county town.

A young boy sneaked out from the intersection. After looking around for a while, he found that there was no one familiar or teacher. He walked out quickly and went home as if nothing had happened.

When he got home, his parents were not at home and he lay on the bed with his mind wandering.

I passed the audition and advanced to the second round.

But if you want to participate in it, it will take more than ten or twenty days.

Although it is summer vacation now, will my parents agree?
"Oh, it's still too small."

"How come I'm only fifteen?"

"It's so annoying."

Not long after, Zhao Xiaobao received the invitation letter from CXG. After hesitating for a long time, he talked to his parents about it.

"Is this such a good thing?"

His parents were quite puzzled, "Xiaobao, don't be fooled, right?"

"Impossible." Zhao Xiaobao raised his head and shouted, "This is an open competition, and it's supported by the government."

"It's in Chengdu, not outside."

"The prize pool is two million US dollars. You can check it online."

The parents were suspicious and checked online, only to find that there was nothing wrong.

"It's summer vacation anyway, why not let Xiaobao go."

"I didn't expect this kid to be so sullen and even come up with a free trip."

"Those under the age of 18 in the invitation letter must be accompanied by their parents, and their travel expenses are also reimbursed by them."

"Anyway, I should take Xiaobao out for a walk during the summer vacation. The expenses for three people can be reimbursed by two people. It will be much easier for one person."

"By the way, where did this kid get the internet?"

"Zhao Xiaobao..."

When Zhao Xiaobao heard his mother's roar, he knew that he was doomed. As expected, facing his angry mother, Zhao Xiaobao trembled in fear, and no matter how many denials he made, it was of no use.

at the same time.

All members of CXG appeared at Chengdu Tianfu International Airport. They will fly to Riyadh to participate in the E-Sports World Cup held in Saudi Arabia.

It is worth mentioning that.

A few days ago, the official side of the E-Sports World Cup requested photos of the entire CXG team for publicity purposes.
