Chapter 170 Arena and Practice Matches
After breakfast the next morning, according to the organizer's arrangement, the Chinese team went to the Bangkok IMPCAT Exhibition Center not far from the hotel, which is the venue of the event.

As soon as they entered the exhibition center, Chen Ge and his three friends were stunned. The entire venue occupies too much area!It's as big as a football field.

Compared with the competition venue at the Shanghai Game Show last time, it is simply a world of difference. The overall planning and layout of the IMPCAT arena is more professional, high-end and luxurious than the former, at least two grades.

In the center of the arena, the contestants’ platforms of the sixteen teams are scattered in a circle, and above the head is a super-large display screen facing the auditorium on all sides, which can broadcast the game live in real time.

Next to it is a professional large-scale stage, which is reserved for the host and interviewed contestants. On the periphery, beyond the distance of disturbing the contestants, there are multiple commentary seats, which are reserved for the commentary teams of each participating country and region. .

This scale and layout is not lost to any other e-sports events, even comparable to some popular sports events.

"Wow, this place is so big." Jiang Ran was shocked, her big eyes kept looking around.

"The Thais have really put a lot of effort into it this time. In terms of this venue, it is definitely better than SLI, and they are looking at PGI." Haitao also sighed. The competition is higher, but if it is only compared to the hardware, the stage that can't stand a few people will definitely be blown up.

"It's his grandfather's, he's suddenly a little nervous..." Mr. Chen stroked the stubble on his chin and muttered.

The performance of several members of the 1246 team is not much better. Although they have relatively more experience in offline competitions than Chen Ge and others, it is definitely the first time they have encountered this scale, and they are still abroad.

The staff in the venue immediately noticed their arrival and brought them to the stage in the center of the venue. At this time, Chen Ge noticed that several teams from other countries had also arrived at the venue.

Because the invitations to the Bangkok Invitational Tournament were basically Asian teams, almost all of them were from the East. It was difficult for Chen to match the faces and nationalities of these people, except for Australia.

The on-site person in charge assigned several translators to the Chinese team, who were temporary volunteers and Chinese students studying in Thailand, and then introduced some arrangements before the game in detail.

In fact, there are not many things that players really need to do. Understand the process, rehearse the opening ceremony, debug the computer used for the competition, and then it is basically ok, and it is not done all at once, so there is a lot of time for everyone to wander around.

In the morning, SGS simply recognized its own competition arena, checked the computer hardware, and then took a break to cooperate with imba media to shoot short videos. The other teams were similar, but because there were three girls in their group, Wherever he goes, he attracts the attention of other teams.

Not to mention that the three beauties in the team are photogenic. In addition, the three have different temperaments. Chen has a qualified green leaf match. The effect of the short film is really eye-catching, even if it is Haitao who is not optimistic about SGS Team members also have to admit that the quality of the SGS promotional video can be ranked first among the 16 teams in terms of playback effects.

After the rehearsal in the afternoon, there are three on-site practice games arranged by the organizer. This is also a common practice. On the one hand, it is to check the working conditions of the host computer and the players’ computers, so as to adjust and repair them in time. On the other hand, it is to let the teams understand each other. There is also the meaning of carve up the jump point, so as to avoid the unexpected situation that several teams get together to jump to one point in the main match.

In the three practice games, the results of SGS were not very good, all of them were outside the top ten, making several Chinese commentators and OBs shake their heads. 1246 is not bad, ranking 7/4/9, barely passing, but also Far from being satisfactory.

As everyone expected before the match, the finals were almost dominated by Korean and Thai teams. Japan and Vietnam also performed well, and Australia should not be underestimated. It can be said that there are many masters and the competition is quite fierce.

On the way back, the atmosphere in the whole team was much more dull than when we came. Everyone lost the interest at the beginning. After all, the results of participating in the competition are always the first.

"Everyone, don't be discouraged. The practice match is not the main match after all. We are saving our strength and lap luck for the main match to explode. The results of the practice match are not worth mentioning. Didn't you hear that winning first is not winning, and winning later is real. Jin, everyone cheers on the race and it's over." Haitao tried hard to boost the morale of the team and encouraged him.

Back at the hotel, everyone didn't talk much, and each led the team back to the room.

After closing the door, Shen Yuling immediately looked at Shen Shuxue and said, "Third Sister, didn't you hit it seriously?"

In today's practice match, from Shen Yuling's point of view, the members of the team were completely out of shape, and the selection of transfer points was a mess. In the first round of steel guns, Chen was as fierce as a tiger, and he scored six kills by a single player, but the next two rounds were completely withered. No, not even a single kill was recorded, and he fell when he saw anyone. His performance was completely out of line with his strength.

"Well, it's a little watery." Shen Shuxue nodded calmly, "I don't think it is necessary to fully expose our strength to attract the attention of other teams, and many of our tactics are designed for the characteristics of the Korean and Thai teams. It is not in our interest for the opponent to see something in the replay after the game and make timely adjustments.”

"Ah——, Shuxue, you actually released the water. I said why you bumped into people as soon as you shifted. It turned out to be intentional." Jiang Ran was surprised. The little girl didn't see anything from the beginning to the end, and was kept in the dark. Li, "Wait, then Master, wouldn't you also release the water?"

"Not in the first game. Although I could see that the transfer rhythm was wrong at the time, I wanted to try the level of these foreign teams. The strength was fully developed in the first round, but the opponents were really strong, especially us. Tuan Mie's KDR is quite tough. As for the next two rounds, I don't think Shuxue has any intention of playing seriously, so I followed her rhythm." Chen Ge shrugged and said.

"Yuqing, why are you not surprised at all, you know if you don't." Jiang Ran was a little speechless, it seemed that she was desperately doing it for a long time.

"Yes, of course, don't you even have a tacit understanding of this team, but I didn't let it go. You and I have been playing very seriously. I want to see how my level is on this stage. Unfortunately, the opponent They are all so powerful, I only killed two people in three games." Zhou Yuqing was a little discouraged.

"You guys are really bold. You even made a decision without even notifying me, the coach, which made me worry for so long." Shen Yuling said angrily. At first, even she didn't notice the problem. They made a fatal mistake and thought it was because they were too nervous due to their inexperience in competitions. They almost lost their confidence, and they even lost face in front of their friends.

"These teams are really strong. Even if we don't release water, our results may be linked to the circle luck. Don't worry too much." Shen Shuxue couldn't help reminding her when she saw her relieved look.

"My requirements are not that high. Just don't count down. If it's really the bottom, the black fans of our team may be able to form two divisions in an instant. That's not good..."
