Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Even the game’s official website was promoting this event. It was clear that this event was real and popular.
Those who didn’t believe in it before also believed in it now.
As a result, the number of people signing up for the competition on the website began to increase.
The competition time was three days later.
There were already people heading to Kasage University.
Even if they arrived a day earlier, it wouldn’t matter because they didn’t want to miss this competition.
Not only were there contestants, but there were also many esports enthusiasts heading to Kasage University.
They were all here to witness the country’s first esports competition.
Kasage University!
At this moment, all the people in charge of the competition had gathered together.
Because this time, Edward was in charge of the esports competition.
“How many people have signed up as of now?”
Edward asked Conan.
Conan was always the one who kept the background statistics of the registration website.
“So far, 320 teams have signed up, all from various universities.”
Conan handed over the printed registration data to Edward.
Edward took a look and was a little excited.
To be able to achieve such a feat in the first attempt was already beyond Edward’s expectations.
“There will definitely be a lot of people rushing to the college in the next two days. We have to maintain order.”
“The principal has entrusted this matter to us. We must try our best to do well in this competition.”
Edward instructed everyone.
Everyone also knew the importance of this competition.
If there was even the slightest mistake, the esports competition would be affected.
That would not only embarrass them, but the entire Kasage University.
After arranging everything, everyone went about their own business.
Two days later, Kasage University began to bustle.
Everyone who had signed up had to report to Kasage University first.
Lex also gave Edward a set of magic equipment so that he could count the number of people in one go.
As long as the information was recorded, the magic equipment could be sorted by itself.
More than 300 teams had reported in two days.
No one delayed.
Even the farthest teams had arrived.
Edward used the magic equipment to randomly rank more than 300 teams and then assigned them to fight.
All of the computers that were to be used in the competition were already gathered in the Esports Hall.
One could complete 100 teams’ matches at a time.

Each game was divided into three rounds.
They were divided into the knockout round, the qualifier round, and the final round.
Because this was a small game, there were only two days for the game.
The top eight teams had to be decided within two days.
As for why the winner was not decided, Edward did not ask much.
He trusted the principal and knew that the principal must have his own reason.
The third day was also the time for the competition.
All the participating teams had arrived early.
The students of Kasage University consciously did the work of receiving the students from other colleges.
At the same time, there were also the spectators who needed to maintain order.
Backstage of the Esports Hall.
“Captain, it does not look good. There are too many spectators. There’s no room to sit inside.”
A member of Kasage University said to Edward.
“What?”
Edward was very shocked.
He had already considered this situation.
So, he built a venue for the esports competition.
This venue could accommodate upto 10,000 people.
Could it be that there weren’t even enough seats for 10,000 people?
Edward walked out from the backstage.
He saw that the venue was already full.
But at the entrance of the Esports Hall, there was still a steady stream of people entering.
This made Edward feel very stable.
If there was a mess because of the venue, that would not be good.
However, the facts proved that his worries were unnecessary.
The audience who entered later did not complain at all.
All of them consciously concentrated in a place with an open space.
Or they sat directly on the steps.
The entire venue was filled to the brim, with no space at all.
Seeing this scene, Edward was finally relieved.
However, at the same time, his confidence was surging.
To be able to get more than 10,000 people to watch, it meant that they had already succeeded halfway
As long as nothing went wrong in the following matches, they would have successfully organized the competition.
In order to make the matches fair, Kasage Universit specially invited people from the MOBA game company to act as referees.
At the same time, there were also some big gods in the game.
Others might not be able to find them, but Lex could.
When they heard that they were invited to be the referees of the esports competition, they immediately agreed.
This competition could be said to be very grand.
From the decorations to the stadium, everything was well-organized.
After some opening remarks, the competition began.
The strongest team was Edward’s team.
Not only did they have the first mage, but they also had wild king and the all-rounder, Brown.
All the experts were gathered in this team.
This was also what they had agreed in advance. They wanted to build the strongest team.
In addition to the training they had undergone during this period of time, their coordination was already very tacit.
Sometimes, they didn’t even need to communicate to understand each other’s intentions.
Although the other teams couldn’t reach their level, they weren’t weak either.
With their coordination, they definitely wouldn’t have any problems getting into the top 20.
The people who came this time were all experts from the universities across the country.
There were also very powerful members among them.
Even Edward couldn’t guarantee that he would get first place.
Soon, the first group of teams went on stage.
100 teams and 500 people walked onto the stage together.
500 people logged into the game together, and none of them got stuck.
The elimination matches would be randomly played on the big screen.
Some reporters also broadcasted the process of the match to their own websites.
Those esports fans who could not come would also be the first to see it.
Two hours later, the first round of the competition ended.
The eliminated teams were not disappointed either, because they were already very happy to be able to participate in the competition.
