CSGO Unboxing Streamer: A Charity-Driven Tycoon

Chapter 289 Hiss~ Is this positioning for a level 1 team fight?

Lu Yiming learned the name of a team from Charles.

Endpoint.

A name that's very unfamiliar.

There is only one possibility that could make Lu Yiming feel unfamiliar.

That means this team is completely unknown.

Unsurprisingly.

After informing Masixi of this name.

He thought for a long time before suddenly realizing, "I remember, Mr. Lu! EMF is a local team from Chongqing. I heard they got a very rich owner this year and are preparing to compete in the major."

Masixi remembers this EMF team.

The main reason is that the team's owner is very rich.

At the same time, this boss has a really awesome move.

It is very normal for CSGO teams to have players of different nationalities.

There might even be teams from country A that have no members from country A.

But this boss is different.

They lure talented athletes from other countries with high prices and demand that they change their nationality.

This allows the national flag to be seen in the contestant column.

The reason I say he's awesome isn't because of this particular move.

Instead, this guy signed a betting agreement with the player.

If a player fails to perform well in a match, their fate is to be discarded.

of course.

One is willing to hit, and the other is more likely to be hit.

Some people's goal is simply to change their nationality.

But this boss's purpose was purer.

We need a team that can make it to the Major.

Hear this.

Lu Yiming roughly understood what was going on.

It's simply because Quan Shaoliang's performance was so outstanding that he was chosen.

Again.

He didn't care about Quan Shaoliang's future.

All we need to do is figure out if we're being targeted.

Since this is the boss's standard operating procedure.

Lu Yiming decided not to investigate further.

at this time.

Ma Xixi also had an epiphany.

He immediately whispered, "Mr. Lu, was Quan Shaoliang taken away by this team? Should we contact this boss?"

Poaching team members.

It is permitted.

But such a despicable method goes against the norm.

After all, the generally accepted practice in the CS:GO community is for teams to negotiate with each other, and using underhanded tactics is not allowed by default.

In this regard.

Lu Yiming nodded and said, "Now that we've found out, let's file a complaint through official channels! There's no need for further contact!"

In fact.

This is a customary rule that has been broken.

There's no real punishment mechanism.

In particular, Quan Shaoliang's identity did not lead to a contract with RSS.

He's just a youth training player whose future is uncertain.

This can be attributed to negligence by the RSS management.

of course.

This was also Lu Yiming's oversight.

Because someone had brought up the matter of the contract, but Lu Yiming was too arrogant to think it was necessary.

at this time.

Masisi chose to take responsibility for this matter.

"President Lu! Ultimately, this matter is my responsibility."

The words were not finished.

Lu Yiming interrupted, "It's nothing! It has nothing to do with you!"

Lu Yiming isn't the type to find someone to take the blame when something goes wrong.

And this isn't a big deal.

It's nothing more than being disgusted.

However, this also served as a reminder to Lu Yiming.

He then continued, "Don't put too much pressure on us internally! It's just that someone with different ideas left; don't let him change the atmosphere within the team."

As soon as these words came out.

Masixi felt much more at ease.

At least Lu Yiming didn't hold a grudge against the other team members because of this incident.

He then asked.

"President Lu! Now that this has already happened, shouldn't we take some remedial measures?"

Currently, contracts for youth training personnel are very broad.

The only constraint is the elimination mechanism.

This very mechanism provides an opportunity for those with malicious intent to exploit it.

In fact.

As long as the contract has a few more clauses.

Quan Shaoliang would not leave so easily.

Hear this.

Lu Yiming also seemed to be deep in thought.

After a long silence, he shook his head and said, "No need! Those who want to leave can't be kept!"

It's not that Lu Yiming is arrogant.

Rather, he doesn't think anyone can match him in terms of current investment.

First of all.

Those who are willing to play CS:GO are simply doing it for fame and fortune.

And he can give both of them.

Quan Shaoliang left for something other than these two reasons.

It can only be said that this was destined to be lost.

Lu Yiming didn't think that this matter warranted putting others under pressure.

This is actually unfair to these people.

After finishing up with matters related to the RSSCSGO department.

Lu Yiming stopped paying attention to it.

In the following days, people continued to pay attention to Quan Shaoliang's situation in the live chat.

However, Lu Yiming avoided these questions.

Until October 8th.

Zeng Yuxin served as Lu Yiming's live-streaming assistant.

I received a call from the league's official representatives.

They then contacted him after Lu Yeming finished his live stream.

"Guests for the quarterfinals draw? Weren't they supposed to be guests for the semifinals? Why the downgrade?"

Faced with Lu Yiming's doubts.

Zeng Yuxin shook her head seriously and said, "No! The league hopes that you, President Lu, can serve as the draw guest in the quarterfinals, semifinals, and finals!"

current.

Lu Yiming has an unusually large online following.

Especially after the previous press conference of Pangu Company.

Lu Yiming's influence extends beyond the gaming and live streaming industries; he is also a renowned figure in the investment and technology sectors.

It could be said that they invited Lu Yiming to endorse them.

It's something that can enhance the influence of the event.

Just say it!
RSS now has no shortage of advertisers in its affiliate program.

They've even reached the point where they have to choose their own advertisers.

This involves a swap of roles between Party A and Party B.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yiming checked the time.

It takes at least half a month to go from the quarterfinals to the finals.

He couldn't possibly stay in Shanghai for half a month.

It's impossible for them to fly between two places just for this event.

He immediately shook his head and said, "Let's stick to the original plan!"

The so-called original plan.

I went to Shanghai to watch the RSS match during the semi-finals.

This is also what Lu Yiming promised to his fans.

That day was the fifth day of the group stage.

In a double round-robin BO1 format, RSS needs to play three matches.

In fact.

If we can win two of these three games.

RSS is guaranteed a spot in the quarterfinals.

It was a Saturday.

Lu Yiming's show starts in the evening.

The comments section naturally brought up the progress of the RSS competition.

In this regard.

Lu Yiming, who was on the airing, happened to be eating.

Open the league's live stream.

We can see that there are currently two teams competing. However, there are many new teams this year.

Lu Yiming was not familiar with either of these teams.

Looking at the unfamiliar team names, Lu Yiming asked, "Where are these two teams from? Does anyone know?"

As soon as these words came out.

Some viewers in the live stream exclaimed that it was outrageous.

As the team owner.

They didn't even know who their own team's opponents were in the tournament.

Looking at the comments on the screen.

Lu Yiming was speechless. "No way! Isn't it normal that I don't know? Why should I know so much? Isn't this something the manager and coach need to know? I'm the boss! I've already paid the money! What! Do I have to know every single detail? I'd be exhausted!"

This counter-criticism was flawless.

indeed.

Lu Yiming can simply invest the money.

If he still needs to do the remaining tasks, it proves that he hasn't been paid enough.

soon.

Lu Yiming learned from the comments that the two teams in the video were Korean.

RSS has been assigned to Group D in the group stage.

In fact.

There was really no suspense in today's game.

Or rather, many matches in the entire S-series were matches without any suspense.

This led many people to complain that the competition was boring.

In this regard.

Lu Yiming, who was eating, nodded after seeing this and said, "It's a matter of the competition format! Actually, I think the league could totally adopt a Swiss-system format!"

The Swiss system is a points-based system widely used in various competitions. Its core concept is to let high-scoring teams compete against high-scoring teams and low-scoring teams compete against low-scoring teams.

The tournaments on Lu Yiming's platform mostly use the Swiss system rules.

At this point, some viewers said they didn't know what the Swiss wheel rule was.

Lu Yiming immediately began to explain.

And it was incorporated into the league's competitions.

In the first round, teams from each group are randomly paired up for a match, resulting in half teams with a "1 win and 0 losses" record and half teams with a "0 wins and 1 loss" record.

然后，第二轮比赛中，“1胜0负”的队伍之间展开四场比赛，决出“2胜0负”和“1胜1负”的两类队伍。

同样，“0胜1负”的队伍之间也进行四场比赛，产生“1胜1负”和“0胜2负”的两类队伍。

随着比赛的深入，到了第三轮，各小组的“2胜0负”和“1胜1负”的队伍将随机配对进行比赛，其中“2胜0负”的队伍将决出两支“3胜0负”的队伍直接晋级，而“1胜1负”的队伍则需继续参加下一轮比赛。

第四轮比赛中，“1胜1负”和“0胜2负”的队伍将随机配对进行比赛，产生四支“2胜1负”和四支“2胜2负”的队伍，同时淘汰两支“0胜3负”的队伍。最后的第五轮比赛，将由剩下的六支“2胜2负”的队伍展开角逐，率先获得三胜的队伍将晋级，而最先输掉三场比赛的队伍将被淘汰。

Compared to the previous BO1 double round-robin format, the Swiss system undoubtedly has more advantages.

Firstly, while the BO1 double round-robin format provides an equal opportunity for every team to showcase their abilities, it often leads to one-sided matches in the later stages. Many teams that suffer too many losses, even if they win later matches, cannot change the fact that they have already been eliminated, making the process meaningless for the participating players.

After Lu Yiming explained the application of the Swiss system in the league competition format.

Many viewers also agreed with this.

Lu Yiming responded with a matter-of-fact expression, saying, "My platform's monthly tournaments and previous campus tournaments were all based on this rule, which ensures both fairness and the entertainment value of the matches. I hope the league can make changes next year! So many bad matches are really affecting the viewing experience!"

Say something.

Only Lu Yiming dared to directly start a group discussion and complain.

Regarding the competition format.

In recent years, players have discussed and complained about it.

But the sounds were all very soft.

As for the league's streamers, they have also mentioned it.

But it was only mentioned in passing.

Lu Yiming has essentially started a fight.

After all, there are over 300,000 viewers in the live stream.

It's really not that easy to set the tone.

Lu Yiming spent about ten minutes eating.

The match progressed from five minutes at the beginning to fifteen minutes.

However, the raid leader did not make a single move during those ten minutes.

Both sides played very cautiously, but this kind of match really wasn't very interesting.

finally.

At the 26th minute of the match.

The two sides engaged in their first team fight.

That was also the last one.

After the team fight, the winning team secured Baron Nashor, then returned to base to replenish their health and mana. The rest of the game involved pushing down all three lanes and securing the victory.

The match ended at 29 minutes.

A full twenty-four minutes.

Lu Yiming looked at the camera speechlessly and said, "What's so interesting about this kind of competition!"

This thought-provoking question went unanswered in the live chat.

They also found it meaningless.

Seeing that none of the ministers responded.

Lu Yiming picked up his phone and made a call.

at this time.

The RSS feed in the event backstage is ready to go live.

Abu received the call.

He addressed the team members who were already collecting their peripherals, saying, "Boss Lu just said! In the upcoming match, there's a 50,000 yuan bonus for each first kill and 10,000 yuan for each assist! Good luck! The prize money is only paid out if we win!"

Um? ?

Ok? ? ?
Um? ? ? ?

Beside the water dispenser.

Prince Ning looked at the five people whose expressions had become excited.

The expression on his face clearly showed envy.

Whether they envy them for getting to play or for receiving the prize money, that remains to be seen.

Meanwhile, Lu Yiming's live stream.

The response was a chorus of "Holy crap!"

They overheard Lu Yiming and Abu's conversation.

Say something.

I never expected there to be such a way to play.

soon.

Both sides entered the BP phase.

RSS took down Thresh first.

Meiko's Thresh is indeed quite good.

But this is the World Championship after all!

Thresh's priority is really not high.

Moreover, this is not the style of the LPL.

Just as the commentators were wondering why RSS picked Thresh.

RSS has locked onto Kog'Maw and Aatrox.

The first three picks were Thresh, Kog'Maw, and Aatrox.

This murderous intent is undeniably strong.

And in the face of these three RSS methods.

FNC's response was to pick LeBlanc, Sejuani, and Nautilus.

The enchantress is flexible.

Sejuani and Nautilus have ample front-line tanking and teamfight initiation capabilities.

These three options are considered relatively optimal solutions for dealing with RSS.

But soon.

RSS has chosen Shyvana and Lissandra again.

The lineups for both sides were then finalized.

RSS's lineup consists of Thresh, Kog'Maw, Aatrox, Shyvana, and Lissandra.

FNC's lineup consists of Nautilus, Miss Fortune, Fiora, Sejuani, and LeBlanc.

Say something.

Just look at the lineup.

FNC has a slight advantage.

Perhaps the matches I watched before were too grueling.

This lineup was revealed.

The comments section immediately became excited.

Holy crap! This is off the charts! There must have been at least twenty heads in this match, right?

Twenty? Too few! If this round has less than thirty, I'll eat Lao Ba's burger!

Holy crap! Is he really that hard on himself?!

[Hahaha! It's not that he's ruthless to himself! It's that he believes President Lu has laid enough bait! This round has been incredibly bloody because of President Lu's outside interference!]

【crooked????】

[President Lu just gave the order! If we win this game, each kill will be worth 50,000! Each assist will be worth 10,000! These RSS players are going to go on a killing spree!]

Holy crap! You can do that? That's amazing!!

[Wow~ President Lu is really good at this! The RSS feed is now in bounty mode! The buffs are maxed out!]

【.】

at this time.

The official commentators had no idea what had happened.

I instinctively feel there's something wrong with the RSS lineup selection.

However, due to Lu Yiming's status, they dared not complain too much about RSS.

The match has now begun.

Looking at the RSS feed.

Miller, in the commentary booth, asked in confusion, "Hiss~ Is this positioning for a level 1 team fight?"
