Chapter 799 Feike

Chen Guo said she was going to lecture Chang Xian, but she was just saying it. No matter what, Chang Xian was doing it out of good intentions. Although good intentions that led to bad results were even more frustrating, Chen Guo and the others had only made a trip for nothing and failed to get sponsorship. They hadn't suffered any losses, so what bad thing was that?

So, in the phone call, Chen Guo first expressed her gratitude, and then simply explained why the Ming Gan Green sponsorship fell through. After that, she still asked Chang Xian if he had any other good introductions.

Cao Guangcheng, who was listening to the phone call from the side, knew at once that Excellent Era had made a trip for nothing and was secretly delighted. He had been Excellent Era's reporter for many years and knew exactly what the Ming Gan Green sponsorship was all about, and what kind of person Xia Zhongtian was. He had known for a long time that Excellent Era wouldn't get anything good from Ming Gan Green. Listening to the phone call at this moment, it seemed that they had even been allowed to visit, which surprised Cao Guangcheng quite a bit. He had originally thought that Excellent Era would be turned away and hit a wall, but he hadn't expected Xia Zhongtian to call them over. Was this a good way to humiliate Excellent Era?

Cao Guangcheng regretted not being able to be there in person and could only imagine it to make himself happy. Little did he know that when Ye Xiu and Chen Guo went to visit, they were indeed snubbed quite a bit, but they also thoroughly abused Xia Zhongtian in return.

Chang Xian, who answered the phone on the other end, wasn't a fool either. He was completely unaware of Ming Gan Green's situation, but Cao Guangcheng had been following Excellent Era for so many years, how could he not know this not-so-secret information? Therefore, Cao Guangcheng's disgusting little thoughts were completely known to Chang Xian. But knowing it, he could only feel helpless, as there was no reason to argue about this matter. Only this time, he would no longer ask this senior for advice. After promising Chen Guo, he prepared to personally check the information to help Excellent Era.

After this incident, Chang Xian also realized that it wasn't easy for Excellent Era to directly take over Excellent Era's sponsorship. However, Chang Xian was also a very resourceful young man. If Excellent Era's competitors were reluctant to sponsor Excellent Era because Excellent Era was the competitor that defeated Excellent Era, then what about the competitors of those sponsors? Wouldn't it be natural for them to sponsor Excellent Era?

Competition is everywhere, even in the business world. Chang Xian changed his thinking and immediately began to look for the competitors of Excellent Era's sponsors. However, this immediately went beyond the circle that Chang Xian could control. Things weren't readily available and were bound to be slower. As a result, before his results came out, Excellent Era finally received the first call from a sponsor, expressing their intention.

And the origin of this phone call proved the correctness of Chang Xian's thinking.

Feike.

This was a well-known computer peripheral brand, especially famous for its keyboards and mice. These two were undoubtedly the sharpest weapons in the hands of esports players. The Glory Alliance was so thriving, it would be strange if their brand didn't sponsor it. In fact, Feike had teams sponsored in the professional alliance.

Tyranny!

The team currently sponsored by Feike was the Tyranny team, which was the most popular to win the championship this season. And it and Excellent Era's peripheral sponsorship manufacturer, Suguang Snake, were a pair of commercial rivals. Suguang Snake chose Excellent Era, Feike chose Tyranny, and the teams sponsored by both sides were mortal enemies. Now, Feike once again chose to sponsor Excellent Era, and the factors considered were self-evident.

Feike's headquarters weren't in H City. After making contact by phone, Feike and Excellent Era held two online video conferences. Although Excellent Era was receiving a lot of attention, its reputation and influence were obviously far from comparable to Tyranny. The sponsorship contract that Feike offered Excellent Era also showed their caution. The contract was only for one year, 1.5 million, and they retained the priority of sponsorship from similar manufacturers.

The one-year term clearly showed that Feike was taking a wait-and-see attitude towards whether Excellent Era could survive in the professional alliance. The priority right proved that they were still quite optimistic. As for the 1.5 million quota, such sponsorship fees weren't much in the alliance, but for a team that had just entered the alliance, it wasn't considered stingy. This was already thanks to Excellent Era being able to defeat Excellent Era and receive widespread attention. Otherwise, it was common for ordinary professional teams that returned to the alliance to be ignored.

After further negotiations, the sponsorship amount was finally increased to 1.8 million, with other conditions remaining unchanged. Both sides were satisfied with this result. Then came the formal signing matters. Although the contract was small, with Excellent Era's current attention, Feike wanted to hold a signing ceremony and a press conference. However, it was currently the playoffs, and the focus of the Glory circle was on the games, so these publicity events were temporarily postponed.

After finalizing the contract with Feike, Excellent Era's door to business seemed to be completely opened. More and more inquiries and understanding calls came in. Chang Xian sorted out a list of sponsors that were more likely to succeed, but at this time, Chen Guo was already too busy to take the initiative to attack. Just the ones who took the initiative to come to her were enough to keep her busy. Some of them were genuine, but there were also some who wanted to take advantage of the situation, and others who wanted to bully Excellent Era for not understanding, directly cheating, and still others who didn't understand the situation and joined in the fun. Chen Guo finally found the feeling of running a team. She had been too idle as the boss before.

At the same time, the playoffs had already reached the semi-final round. Tyranny versus Tiny Herb, Samsara versus Howling Heights.

The first game was held at Tiny Herb's home court against Tyranny.

Tiny Herb's lineup this season had also undergone a lot of adjustments compared to last year. After the All-Star level Judo character, Zhandyiluanfei, was sold to Samsara, Tiny Herb no longer had a Judo class. The original operator, Li Yihui, also left the team in the summer. Xu Bin, nicknamed the Grinding King, transferred from 301, took over the Knight Solitary Alive left by Deng Fusheng after his retirement. With his excellent performance, he successfully entered this season's All-Star lineup. And the genius Gao Yingjie also officially debuted this season, forming a Double Magician combination with the captain Wang Jiexi. Another one was Liu Xiaobie, a speed hand, who had undergone constant transformation and was already a quite reliable player. This season, he was only one step away from the All-Star lineup. Tiny Herb was almost a gorgeous lineup of four All-Stars.

As for Tyranny, it wasn't just a matter of four All-Stars, it was four top professional gods. The only slightly awkward one was Lin Jingyan, the other three could still be called the best in their respective classes.

Such a lineup made people curious about Tyranny's other position.

Because team competitions always require five people to play, who is the fifth person standing next to these four master-level figures?

In the summer transfer window, due to the continuous introduction of big names and changes in the lineup, many players and characters from Tyranny also left. From that time on, people had been watching who would stand next to the four great gods, but in the end, it turned out to be someone everyone felt unfamiliar with.

Qin Muyun.

Before this season, no one had heard of this name. As a result, this unknown player became the last piece of Tyranny's starting puzzle.

Qin Muyun came from Tyranny's training camp. Before this, he had always been unknown. When he became a member of Tyranny's main team this season, he was already 21 years old.

This debut age could be said to be a bit late. Compared to Lu Hanwen, who was underage, he should have been a veteran. But now, they were actually rookie contemporaries.

The character controlled by Qin Muyun was a Sharpshooter. In this position, Tyranny originally had Wang Chixuan, who wasn't a god, but was also a very good player. However, Tyranny just promoted Qin Muyun from the training camp, while Wang Chixuan left during the summer transfer window.

What kind of ability did this Qin Muyun have? He could squeeze out Wang Chixuan, who had experience, ability, and was familiar with the team, and become a main player standing next to the four great gods?

Everyone had high expectations for Qin Muyun, but soon, everyone was disappointed.

Qin Muyun didn't have any outstanding performance on the field. The technical statistics after each game also looked so ordinary. This was really an ordinary player.

Soon, no one paid attention to him anymore. Rookie? This season had even bigger highlights. Lu Hanwen, the 14-year-old from the Blue Rain team, what a lively kid?

So, to this day, if you ask who Qin Muyun is, most players would probably shake their heads.

This was the media, the public's attitude.

But professional teams wouldn't. They wouldn't underestimate any opponent, especially in the playoffs, especially when the opponent was a main player in a team like Tyranny.

Qin Muyun's technical statistics were very plain, but don't ignore who was standing next to him.

Ignoring Zhang Xinjie, the Cleric. Han Wenqing, Zhang Jiale, Lin Jingyan, they weren't just ordinary All-Star players. They were core-level attackers in their respective teams in the past. Next to such figures, what kind of data could you expect a rookie who just entered the league to put out?

The media and players didn't value Qin Muyun, but Tiny Herb wouldn't, especially since they had already reached the playoffs. One flaw could lead to next year.

Tiny Herb gave Qin Muyun the same importance and research as the four great gods.

Often analyzing the data of the entire season, the first sentence on the report about Qin Muyun was: This player's technical statistics are mediocre, but he didn't encounter the rookie wall.

Yes, he didn't encounter the rookie wall.

In the entire nine seasons, only two rookies haven't encountered the rookie wall: Wang Jiexi, Sun Xiang.

And now, the third one appeared. However, compared to those two, he only had extremely plain technical statistics. He didn't encounter the rookie wall. Could it be because of some objective reasons, for example, Tyranny's lineup, the four great gods were already enough to attract too much fire and attention.

Tiny Herb couldn't deny this possibility. In fact, they hoped that this was the reason. Otherwise, if Qin Muyun had some hidden talent, it could very well become the biggest variable in the game.

The unknown is always the most terrifying.
