The E-Sports Captain You Know Chapter 10

As a competition held by the largest live broadcast platform in China, if there is only one word to describe the Aquaman Cup, it is "luxurious".

The intensity, professionalism and international attention of the competition are certainly not as good as the main competition, but in terms of venue layout, topic promotion, victory prize money and other things that require money, the Aquaman Cup is definitely worth it!

During the period when there are no official matches to watch, many viewers will choose to watch the entertainment-oriented Aquaman Cup to find some fun.

This year's Aquaman Cup has attracted more attention than ever before, because according to insiders on the platform, the Seafood Channel has invested heavily in inviting professional players to this year's Aquaman Cup. The first World Championship FMVP Jin, the super rookie Nut who just won the runner-up, and the former championship team captain Save who recently announced his comeback will all participate!

In addition to the exciting games, the gossip between these professional players is also something that the audience enjoys seeing.

For example, what was the matter with the video of Save and Jin quarreling in the street a while ago, and why did the old teammates no longer interact after they disbanded;

For example, Nut once publicly responded to the nickname "Little Save" in an interview, and Save implied in a live broadcast a few days ago that Nut's performance in the finals was a personal show at the expense of his teammates...

If you think about it carefully, these hot topics are all related to Save? He is indeed a man who can still be called the top star in the Survivor circle after retiring for three years.

Amidst heated discussions, the Aquaman Cup finally officially began.

The first two days of the competition were all team competitions, so Alex had nothing to do. However, for the purpose of discovering potential passers-by and supporting Ultra, Alex still wore a mask and mingled in the audience with the pink boy.

They asked the organizer for their tickets directly, and after entering the venue, they were sandwiched among a group of audience members holding cheering sticks and large flags, and were not conspicuous at all.

Alex looked around and saw that most of the on-site support was contracted by well-known professional players such as Jin and Nut, and there were also a few popular anchors who came to participate in the competition.

As for Alex’s own fans, they probably didn’t expect him to secretly appear at the scene today, so they didn’t raise too much support.

Not long after sitting down, Alex received a wave of messages from friends.

"Captain An! The captain and I will participate in the individual competition the day after tomorrow. See you then!" This is Logan, who finally added Alex as a friend through Po's recommendation a few days ago.

"Let's get together with old friends after the game the day after tomorrow." This is the fake abbot's post.

"Can you and Hunter make some time together after the King's Cup? I have something to do and I might need your help." This is Word who is going back to continue working as a teacher.

"Captain An! Remember to leave me an exclusive interview for the Aquaman Cup!" This is the veteran e-sports reporter Du Yihang.

Alex replied to the messages one by one. When he looked up again, the sixteen participating teams had completed the draw and the team competition was about to begin.

"Xiao Ao joined a wild team that didn't have a ghost position of his own. The other players were all high-scoring passers-by. When we randomly matched the ghost position just now, we randomly got Xiao Jin." The pink man summarized to Alex in a low voice.

"Xiaoao?"

"Ultra, Ultraman is called Ultraman for short."

"It's quite vivid."

Alex looked up at the stage. The sixteen teams were about to go down to prepare after drawing their opponents and order. Among them, the ones that attracted the most attention were naturally Hunter, who was standing alone on the side, and Ngu Team 2 led by Nut. Ultra was buried in the crowd and could not be seen without careful searching.

"Xiao Jin came to the team competition because Clouds wanted to take advantage of the last chance to make more money, so he took three days of work for him. Besides, he is a ghost position, so fighting alone will not affect anything. Why did Nut bring the second team to participate in the team competition? What was he thinking?"

Generally speaking, professional players who have already reached the top leagues rarely participate in entertainment team competitions, but only in individual competitions. This is because in team competitions, it is easy to encounter temporary teammates with different strength levels, which can make you get high blood pressure.

"Nut is also a product of Ngu's youth training, and is about the same age as O'Neal. Many of the current second team members were once his teammates, and they have a tacit understanding when playing."

The pink guy lowered his voice and shared information, "I heard that he was in a bad mood because of what you said in the previous live interview, so he insisted on participating in the Aquaman Cup team competition to adjust."

"Being bullied by a weak player to adjust your mood under the spotlight?" Alex commented, "Very classy."

"Ah, that's his temper." The pink guy was also speechless.

When most professional players play entertainment games with casual players, they will give some leniency to the players and at least give them some opportunities to show off their skills. However, it is hard to say how the Ngu Second Team led by Nut will perform this time.

"I hope the unlucky passers-by who run into them don't have a traumatic experience. They finally won a lucky spot and came to participate in the event happily, but ended up being beaten up by a professional second team led by top players and with good coordination."

If all the professional players let go and played without mercy, there would be no need to hold the Aquaman Cup, and they could just bring all the professional players in to compete in the main competition.

Even if there is a very powerful dark horse among the passers-by, it is difficult for him to have the same awareness as professional players who have received professional training right from the start on the field.

"Nut will be the last player in the eighth group in the first round." The pink man flipped through the match list that had just been sent out. "If Xiao Ao's team wins in the first round, they will meet in the quarterfinals in the second round."

The pink boy was a little worried. Ultra had a very good talent and foundation in gaming, but he didn't know what he had been through that caused his self-confidence to be severely damaged. The pink boy was afraid that he would be stimulated again when he met his former youth training peers.

"Let's take a look first." Alex lowered his head to look at his phone. Hunter took the opportunity to send him a message after he stepped down from the stage.

"Brother, which area are you in?"

"C area, row eight. I'm in the crowd with the pink guy. Don't look around. We might get exposed and be unable to get out later."

Alex saw Hunter at the side of the competition stage quickly glance in his direction, then carefully looked away. Alex couldn't help but laugh, causing the pink boy to look puzzled.

"Deliberately join the wild team where Ultra is?" Alex typed to Hunter.

Although on the surface Hunter, the professional Ghost King, randomly joined a stranger team that did not have its own ghost position, Alex knew that this was something the platform would discuss with the players in advance. After all, if the players and stranger teammates disliked each other and had a conflict, the game would really become a gossip.

"Let's see what the new guy you picked is like. I won't affect his training."

Although Hunter has not personally participated in the team formation for the time being due to Clouds' request, Alex and the others will inform him of any progress.

Regarding Ultra's psychological problem, Fan Nan also mentioned it to Hunter. Alex felt that Hunter must have seen the entire Nut and Ngu second team arrive and was worried about his own little carrot, so he temporarily decided to go to the wild team where Ultra was.

The cold-faced boy of the past now looks like a senior.

However, even if he is in the first team, Hunter cannot take care of too many things. If Ultra is really defeated by the ghost position of Ngu's second team, and Hunter gets a quad kill in the other half, it will be meaningless to shut out Ngu's second team.

After the host finished reading the words, the team competition of 16 to 8 began. Alex watched the game broadcast on the big screen on the stage carefully, occasionally communicating with the fan boy, or replying to the messages sent by Hunter from time to time.

In order to save time, all team matches before the semi-finals were in a Bo1 format, and the first three groups were over in about 40 minutes.

Among these three groups of six teams, there were some passers-by who performed brilliantly, but Alex did not find any talents suitable for the professional path.

If you want to join a professional team, you must not only have superb skills, but also a sense of the overall situation, a solid foundation, and no obvious weaknesses. Those few outstanding passers-by with special skills do not meet these conditions.

However, Alex was not in a hurry. He knew that it would be strange to pick up a good seedling easily. After all, the youth training coaches of those professional teams were not there to do nothing. Players who were really suitable for this path would have already received their youth training invitations.

Soon the game of the fourth group in which Ultra's team was located began. Hunter went on the field first and played with the opponent's team for five minutes. After letting the four passers-by show off their skills, he let two of them run away to ensure a draw, which fully demonstrated what is called worldly wisdom.

When both parties left the stage, the four members of the other team had dazed and silly smiles on their faces, and they almost ignored the host who was pulling Hunter to take a photo on the spot.

In the entertainment match, it was expected that the professional players playing the ghost position would only be able to secure a draw, and the real victory or defeat would still be decided by random teams.

After Ultra followed his temporary teammates onto the stage, the pink boy couldn't help but clench his fists and stare at the stage motionlessly, his deep love for his son evident in his words.

From the beginning of the bp, the pink boy frequently exchanged nonsense opinions with Alex, causing the brother next to him who was holding Jin's big flag to look at them inexplicably.

Alex could only reassure him, "Xiao Ao is a high-scoring passer-by who has spent more than a year in the youth training of a professional team, and he has also trained with you for a few days, so there won't be any problems in the entertainment game."

"Really? QAQ"

"Don't be so disgusting, big man, just try to be cute." Alex pushed him away with disgust.

...

As Alex expected, Xiao Ao's team performed well in this game and directly took four runs from the opponent's ghost position. The pink man was moved to tears and almost had his "my son's success" written on his face.

In addition to Ultra's performance, the passerby who was repairing the machine in the wild team also caught Alex's attention.

In fact, in the second half of the game, the human team could only run three people. It was the guy who repaired the machine who made a strong switch and chase operation with a strong sense of the overall situation in the opening battle, who managed to stun the ghosts and successfully allowed all four humans to escape.

The person sitting on the stage seemed to be a girl? Alex thought about getting in touch with her after the game to see if she was interested in professional competitions.

After the first four groups of matches ended, the event entered the halftime break. Xiao Ao followed his teammates to the backstage. On the way to the lounge, he suddenly ran into Nut who was walking out.

Seeing the professional player, a passerby teammate excitedly went up to ask for an autograph. Nut did not respond, but frowned slightly. Xiao Ao knew Nut's temper, so he quickly went up to hold his teammate and smooth things over.

"Nut should be busy... Let's go first..."

Nut looked gloomily at the boy who was fumbling to explain, and suddenly grabbed his collar, "Come on, find a place to talk with me."
