Ye Xiu shook his head. Sponsorship is a commercial act for businesses, and they also need to gain something through sponsorship. Therefore, they are interested in strong teams, teams with topics, and teams that attract attention. The Challenger League itself receives little attention, and teams in the Challenger League rarely gain sponsorships.
It was an exception that Team Happy could receive such interest. Although in the eyes of many, Team Happy is not a strong team, it is not short of topics and is attracting more and more attention. Even so, no company has started sponsoring Team Happy yet, obviously because they don't think Team Happy is quite up to par.
Because businesses need not a flash in the pan, but sustained attention. In the Challenger League, there is only one way to maintain this: win the final victory.
And this time in the Challenger League, there is Team Excellent Era. If they can really achieve final victory, then the attention they receive will definitely not be in the same weight class as previous Challenger Leagues. In fact, the attention Team Happy received in the early stages was also largely related to Team Excellent Era. It was the existence of Team Excellent Era that set off the gold content of this Challenger League.
Team Zhuxian's performance in the Challenger League is currently mediocre. Although they also have the touchstone of Team Excellent Era, their situation should be the same as Team Happy's. At the very least, they have to defeat Team Excellent Era before they have a chance to attract sponsorship. Chen Guo's deduction is unscientific.
However, from this perspective, Ye Xiu thought of another possibility.
Zhuxian, changed owners.
Teams and clubs are like companies, and they can of course be bought and sold. If Team Zhuxian was acquired, and the acquirer was a wealthy owner, then it is entirely possible that they suddenly have a fortune overnight.
"What's the point of thinking so much?" Sun Zheping said at this time, "Since you've seen it, be prepared and defeat them when the time comes."
"There's no other way." Ye Xiu nodded.
Without knowing the true strength of Team Zhuxian, it is impossible to prepare in a targeted manner, and rash arrangements may backfire. So this week, Team Happy's training content is to focus on themselves, work hard to improve themselves, and respond to all changes with constancy.
The players of Team Zhuxian continued to enter and exit the hotel and internet cafe training area these days, greeting the members of Team Happy with smiles, looking very harmonious. At this time, only these two teams were entering and exiting the internet cafe. Another team, whose next opponent was Excellent Era, had already given up. Taking advantage of the week of free room and board, this team went on a trip in City B, and hadn't been seen at the internet cafe for a week.
In the blink of an eye, the match day arrived. Electronic Competition Weekly is published twice a week. The Monday issue introduces the match content and provides some commentary on the results, which is released after the match day. The Friday issue is released before the match day, so it is mostly miscellaneous news, as well as preparations and predictions for hot events. Although the Challenger League is small, it has substance, and nothing that should be written about is missing.
At eight o'clock in the evening, at the offline match venue, the number of matches held each week is decreasing, but the number of viewers is increasing instead of decreasing. After Team Happy entered the venue through the player tunnel and walked towards their player seats, they saw a wide banner suddenly opened in the audience area some distance behind their player seats: Happy, Victory!!! Then they saw a group of people sitting there shouting.
"Oh?" Chen Guo was surprised. Although some Team Happy supporters had appeared before, she had never seen such dedicated ones. Ye Xiu's personal fan group had gathered together to cheer him on, but she didn't expect Team Happy to finally have a fan group now?
Chen Guo was a little smug, but the next moment, in the adjacent section of the audience, a banner suddenly opened, which read: Zhuxian, Victory!!!
Regardless of the size of the banner or the beauty of the font, Team Zhuxian had surpassed Team Happy this time. Their group of viewers also glanced triumphantly at the Team Happy fan group, and then began to shout loudly, immediately suppressing the volume of the Team Happy fan group.
But the Team Happy fan group players did not seem to fear this challenge, and shouted loudly along with them, also interjecting some curses and swear words. Later, not satisfied with cursing, they began to throw miscellaneous objects such as empty mineral water bottles at Team Zhuxian.
This time, the Team Zhuxian fan group seemed unable to cope. They did not retaliate with such weapons, and even when the Team Happy players used abusive language before, they retorted very little. Just as the Team Happy fan group was complacent about their victory, the security personnel maintaining order at the scene rushed over and surrounded them.
Chen Guo was very anxious and ran over to try to coordinate, but saw the security guards seriously warn the Team Happy fans, and then picked out the guy who had led the throwing attack from the crowd and asked him to leave the venue. This time, the Team Happy fans were immediately unhappy, with various commotions. As a result, after the security guard said something, the commotion gradually stopped, and the ringleader left, but not being taken away, but being arranged in another location. Although the attendance rate for the semi-finals was good, the impact of the Challenger League was limited after all, and there were still plenty of empty seats in the venue. This ringleader was thrown alone in a vacant area.
And the Team Zhuxian fan group? Now they had smiles of victory on their faces, as if they had known it would be like this. Chen Guo was extremely unhappy, but Ye Xiu knew at a glance that the Team Zhuxian fan group was experienced and organized. They had experience in watching this kind of competition and knew how to grasp the scale. Team Happy's, on the other hand, seemed to be self-taught. Of course, security personnel maintaining order would come out to stop such disorderly behavior.
The people from Team Zhuxian had also arrived at the venue at this time, and also saw the scene just now. Then, when they looked at Team Happy, they smiled helplessly. The player seats of the two sides were next to each other, but this time, the fan groups of both sides gathered behind them, and the two sides had already started arguing before the match even started. This Team Happy and Team Zhuxian were just an ordinary pair of opponents, with no grudges. It was conceivable how fiercely the fans would fight when those teams in the league with old grudges met.
The players entered the player seats and sat down. Then someone from Team Zhuxian stood up and said something to the fans behind them, seemingly to appease everyone's emotions. Chen Guo thought that she couldn't be worse than them, so she stood up as well, facing the front and the back. Then, seeing these expectant faces, she was so excited that she didn't know what to say. As a result, she saw a person in the fan pile waving and shouting at her: "Big sister, big sister, it's me, it's me!!"
Before anything happened, security guards rushed up vigilantly. The person quickly shrank back, but still pointed at himself: "It's me!! Tian Qi! Tian Qi!"
"Ah?" Chen Guo was stunned, and didn't react for a moment. As a result, everyone else had already learned from Tian Qi and was introducing themselves vigorously.
"Guild Leader, I am Lengying Can." (Cold Shadow Remnant)
"I am Tianwai Feigui." (Flying Ghost from Beyond the Heavens)
"Lobster Kid."
"Great Banner Rogue."
"Han Wei."
"..."
"It's you!" Chen Guo blurted out. She had never seen these names, but they were not unfamiliar at all. These people were all members of the Happy Guild in the tenth server, and were among the first to join Happy and start from scratch. Some of those guild members have now rushed to the Heavenly Domain, some have continued to join Happy, and some have gone to the Heavenly Domain to start a new world. But there are also some who stayed in the ordinary server and continued to play the game here. For example, Tian Qi and Yue Zhongmian, who transferred from the Moonwheel Guild. They were originally old players in the Heavenly Domain, and came to the new server after the tenth server opened. Because for the ordinary server, the final result is the same, they all have to go to the only Heavenly Domain.
So in Glory, there is no point in starting over in a new server unless you are determined to stay in the ordinary server and not go to the Heavenly Domain. Tian Qi and the others are not from the club guild, and they have no mission to build and develop in the ordinary server, so they came to the ordinary server because they didn't want to mix in the Heavenly Domain and planned to only play in the ordinary server.
As veteran players, their level is of course stronger than many newcomers in the ordinary server, and they have become the backbone of the Happy Guild. Backbone, of course, has a certain influence. The four guys who gave up the Heavenly Domain, of course, have no good feelings for the Heavenly Domain. Influenced by them, there were quite a few people in Happy's guild in the tenth server at that time who stayed in the ordinary server and did not go to the Heavenly Domain.
And at this time, this group of people came to the scene to cheer them on. Chen Guo didn't know where these people were from, but at this time, they were all gathered behind their Team Happy, becoming their solid and strong support.
"You..." Chen Guo found her voice a little choked up. She was usually a natural who could quickly become friends with strangers, but at this time, facing a group of acquaintances, she didn't know what to say.
Ye Xiu silently stood beside her at this time, and those players immediately became excited when they saw him: "Ah, God Ye, look!"
Ye Xiu left the ordinary server too early, so he wasn't very familiar with these people, but he always knew Tian Qi, and he knew him quite early, even earlier than he knew Baozi.
"Where are Xiao Yu Yue and the others?" Ye Xiu asked Tian Qi with a smile.
"Haha, Mu Yun Shen and Qian Sheng Li are too far away, so it's not convenient for them to come over. Isn't Xiao Yue Yue over there?" Tian Qi said, pointing over there. The guy who was taken away by the security guards and thrown into the no-man's land for being the first to throw a mineral water bottle at someone turned out to be Yue Zhongmian.
"Hahahaha, it's actually you guys!" At this time, a figure suddenly stood up beside Chen Guo. Baozi stood on the seat and greeted the Happy players behind him enthusiastically.
"Oh oh, Baozi, you idiot!" Everyone shouted in unison. Ye Xiu is a god, and they always feel pressure when facing him, and they don't know what to say, but when they look at Baozi, they immediately feel cordial. Baozi is thoroughly mixed up in the Happy Guild, and is very familiar with these people.
"Hahahaha, I'll watch me mess with those guys later." Baozi pointed at the Zhuxian team players next to him triumphantly.
"One versus five, dare you!!" The Happy players shouted.
