"Hello, I'm Dan."

"Hi everyone, I'm Jude."

"Welcome to our latest football league esports competition."

"Today is considered a very important day, because today we will compete for the top four in the European Division, and the top eight will compete with players from all over the world in the Star Carnival one month later."

"That's right, let's invite Ms. Minoru Matsuhashi, CEO of Youxing Electronic Entertainment Europe, to give a speech."

In Manchester, England, there is the largest football stadium in England, called Heathrow Stadium, which is the home field of the English team Manchester United Football Club. This stadium can accommodate more than 70,000 people to watch the game together.

In normal times, fans from all over the world usually gather here, but today this stadium looks a little different.

Because there are countless video game players gathered here today.

Today, there will be a European Yuxing World Cup e-sports competition here.

The Premier League, as one of the in-depth partners of Youxing Electronics Entertainment, after they learned that Youxing Electronics Entertainment intends to hold such an event, almost without hesitation, they brought their largest football stadium to Youxing Electronics For entertainment use, the boss of Manchester United even directly waved his hand that he didn't want any venue rent or ticket money.

Of course he hopes that the e-sports club team he just formed can have a few more competition places.

This is a mutual benefit, and Zhu Youxing readily agrees.

This time the competition was held in a grand manner. The audience in the arena alone was already full. People wore various costumes of the players they supported, and shouted loudly the names of their favorite video games.

At this moment, the boss of Manchester United is watching all this in an independent private box, where he has the best view and can have a panoramic view of the entire stadium.

Even though he has admitted that video games are indeed very popular, he still didn't expect that e-sports could be so popular.

"I really didn't expect that."

The Manchester United boss let out an exclamation.

The assistant next to him asked tentatively: "Boss, when you said you didn't expect..."

"Look at the audience below."

The Manchester United boss pointed to the shouts that were louder and louder outside.

What is going on now is the football e-sports league, which is also one of the most popular e-sports events in the European region. The contestants are a team of two. At the moment, the four players are fighting hard. I hope to be able to compete in this game. stand out in the competition.

"Carson! Carson!"

"Hausmann! Hausmann!"

The name of the player is like a kind of magic power, which drives the audience crazy.

The boss of Manchester United continued: "Looking at this scene, if someone told me ten years ago that video game competition would become a world-class entertainment activity, I would probably treat that person as a lunatic."

His gaze is deep: "But now, looking at this scene, if someone tells me that e-sports will not become mainstream, I will treat him as a lunatic."

"Boss, this shows that you have a unique vision, and you chose to become a partner of Youxing Electronic Entertainment at the earliest time." The assistant flattered her positively.

"No, I didn't take it seriously at first." The Manchester United boss shook his head and said, "I didn't know anything about video games at the time. What kind of future, when the child grows up, he will not be interested in this thing."

The assistant showed a curious look and asked: "Then how did you change your mind, boss?"

"On the one hand, Youxing Electronic Entertainment gave too much money. You only need to authorize a video game, and you can easily get millions of dollars in your hands. This is still very good."

After the boss of Manchester United finished speaking, he quickly showed a regretful expression.

Obviously he was starting to regret that the money was a little low.

If I had known that e-sports is so popular and video games are so popular, the authorization fee can be more.

However, the contract period signed at that time was very long, so I had to wait for the price increase for the next period.

"On the other hand, the organizing committee of the Premier League at that time wanted to make a breakthrough, and did not want to be controlled by FIFA, so they found a new breakthrough point. At that time, FIFA actually found an entertainment company that was willing to cooperate. Developing football games together, the Premier League and FIFA are equivalent to finding a goal to bet on, and betting on who can have the last laugh.”

The assistant immediately said: "Then it is obvious that the boss made the right bet."

"That's right." The boss of Manchester United immediately became happy, "In the end, Youxing Electronic Entertainment succeeded in this competition, and the teams in the entire Premier League also made a lot of profits, and I finally discovered in the process that Video games are not just for children, and seeing so many men, women and children below is the best proof."

"Boss, your vision is unique enough."

"Haha, what I hope most now is that the kid named Carson I just signed can bring me back this year's E-Sports World Cup football championship."

He looked at the super large screen hanging in the center of the arena, which was showing the live game of Carson and another of his players, and the two were focused.

Once upon a time, Carson was a troublemaker, but video games changed him, and video games changed a lot of people.

Carson's opponent is a French e-sports team player. Both sides have already qualified for the e-sports World Cup, and now they are competing for the European championship.

The audience in the audience shouted loudly to support their favorite players. Whenever one of them scored a goal, it would attract bursts of cheers.

Different from traditional real-life football games, football video games are faster-paced and more exciting to people.

In real football matches, it is normal for a close game to have a small score difference. Most of the 90-minute game time is the process of football players competing for football.

However, in football video games, it is normal for both sides to score seven or eight goals in a game, and the average length of a game is also shorter, but relatively more e-sports games will be played, and the overall time is comparable to that of traditional football. Pretty much the same, but a little more exciting.

The cheering of the audience in the arena has hardly stopped. Many of them even became hoarse because of the loud cheers, but they still cheered excitedly. Many of them don't even know about video games, they just know that there are However, when they saw that the football game was a video game, they did not leave the field. Instead, they became very interested in this kind of video game. Coupled with the atmosphere of the scene, they quickly integrated into it.

In the end, after more than an hour and a total of five games, Carson's team won the final victory in the European zone with a total score of 3 to 2. Under the cheers of countless people, Carson won his victory. The first moment of glory in my life.

"Okay, it's time for us to go down, I want to reward my football player!"

Winning the European Championship, the boss of Manchester United was even more happy.
