LPL held the global finals at home for the first time, and the popularity was amazing.
It is reported that tickets for the Bird's Nest finals have been sold by scalpers for a sky-high price of tens of thousands, making many fans who support the LPL but cannot buy tickets angry.
There is no way, money is so attractive that it is almost impossible to completely eliminate scalpers, let alone such a mouth-watering cake as the global finals.
However, the difficulty of completely eradicating scalping does not mean that it is impossible to crack down and contain it. Whether it is effective and whether you want to do it are purely two different things.
Ahem, everyone understands that interests are related.
In the previous life, the Bird's Nest was degenerated into a civil war in the LCK. A large group of players uninstalled the game "Youth", and even though scalpers cut prices for promotions, few people showed interest, and a large number of tickets went to scalpers.
It is said that on the day of the finals, many part-time groups were recruiting part-time workers to watch the game, and even attracted a group of adults to top up their numbers, and it was not easy to create an image of acceptable attendance.
It’s both sad and ridiculous!
Although Zhuge Liang was disgusted with scalpers selling tickets, he could not change the status quo. He could only ask Xiaoshou to buy some more internal tickets from the event in the name of WE Club.
Except for some tickets reserved for the players' relatives and friends groups and relevant personnel, the remaining tickets were all given to team fans who failed to grab tickets for free through a lottery.
Zhuge Liang originally planned to pay for this money from his own pocket, but the team was poor and poor, and finally entered the World Championship after five years. The stingy boss ruthlessly "bleeded", which can be regarded as giving back to the fans for their continuous support.
RNG and EDG saw that WE had made a lot of favors from passers-by by giving away tickets through lottery draws, so they immediately followed suit and gave out a batch of tickets for free.
In order to avoid scalpers and resale, the three teams give priority to die-hard fans of their own teams when distributing benefits.
With one more die-hard fan, there will be more cheering and applause at home, and the energy given to the players will also increase.
……
First day of play-in competition.
A huge phalanx of ooze monsters was formed in the center of the scene.
Former Royal Team legends, Spider-Man, Shenchao and the retired God of War all appeared in the audience.
Including Uzi, who will play in the game today, and Tabe, who serves as the head coach of the HKA team, the old royal family has reunited for the first time in a long time.
In addition, a large group of off-season professional players came to the scene to support the LPL team. The lineup of spectators was so luxurious that the director was extremely happy.
Oh, and there is also a girlfriend group that is almost carved from the same template.
"RNG! RNG! RNG!"
"Come on puppy!"
"RNG, must win!"
Even before the game started, the audience was already getting excited.
After watching the finals held abroad for so many years, LPL audiences have become more and more fashionable, playing "human wave" and "kiss cam" almost easily.
Under the leadership of professionals, the scene soon started shouting "RNG" in unison!
You should be more arrogant about your own home court, otherwise it will be no different from the library.
Uh, here's a joke, why does Brother Li explode when he plays RNG, and why does he become so powerful after taking medicine?
Because the audience below kept shouting "Eun Jung", Guapi was not allowed to go berserk?
……
The opening match is between RNG and RPG.
There is one thing to say, this game is full of topics.
In the first game of the qualifying round, the LPL team played at home, and it was the first time they met the LJL team!
Real-time data from major live broadcast platforms has completely exploded the traffic on the night of the LPL Summer Finals, which shows how much fans attach importance to this game.
"Good afternoon, viewers, and welcome to the first game on the first day of the S7 Global Finals. I am the commentator."
"Hello everyone, I am Jian Zeyuan."
"Hello everyone, I am the guest Wolong."
The first three games today were played by the three giants in the dining hall who had not seen them for a long time.
The audience was immediately excited. Now the dining hall has become a major feature of LPL and has a high popularity.
The only thing that makes the audience regretful is that Zhuge Liang has to find someone to take over from time to time because he needs to coordinate the work of WE.
Without the soul figure Wolong, the canteen would be like the staple food of rice, without any internal flavor!
Except for the fact that Wolong participated in the commentary as a guest, the audience who originally planned to watch the second-channel live broadcast and the English live broadcast stayed.
After all, Wolong is handsome, has a nice voice, has plenty of key points, and the show is really effective. Who can not love it?
"Brother Liang, you are a professional, hurry up and analyze the situation of this game for everyone." Remember to finish reading a long paragraph before officially entering the topic.
"As we all know, players from the island nation are more fond of consoles and arcade games, and the group of netizen players is relatively small. The competitiveness of LJL is far less than that of the four major competition areas. To put it bluntly, it should be more than enough to randomly select five people from the Dianyi King to play LJL
Yes." Zhuge Liang said frankly.
There is no comparison at all. The two teams are not at the same level.
"I think what RPG needs to consider is not how to win against RNG, but how to lose without being too embarrassed." Colonel Guan added.
As soon as the university opened his mouth, the audience in the live broadcast room was a little panicked.
"LJL is different from other major competition regions. The popular BP and tactics in the league are a bit retro in our opinion. The core of the RPG team is their bottom lane combination."
"The ADC player Yutori Moyashi, who looks a bit similar to his posture, is famous for his laning ability in LJL. The support Dara is a Korean aid player who is very popular in LJL. He was LJL's all-star support last year and is quite good at protective support.
Hero."
"The top pick of RPG is Evi. His style is more stable and he often plays some team-oriented tank heroes. The jungler Tussle is another Korean player in the team. He is good at offensive jungler and has good control over the rhythm of the game, but his development
Poor ability."
"In a nutshell, RPG is equivalent to a beggar's version of RNG!"
Zhuge Liangsi slowly introduced the RPG team.
Listening to Zhuge Liang's detailed information, I remember and Colonel Guan were dumbfounded.
Most people predict that the RPG team will most likely be eliminated in the playoffs and will have no chance of entering the group stage and meeting WE.
Even so, Zhuge Liang still analyzed this team carefully and carefully. Such a professional and cautious attitude is really admirable.
Know yourself and the enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without danger. Even primary school students understand this truth, but how many people can really persist in doing it?
"No wonder WE's BP always takes advantage. It turns out that Wolong has made so many pre-game preparations."
"With this attitude, WE deserves to win the game!"
"My team has been figured out by the enemy coach, how can we fight?"
"Compared to some inferior coaches, Coach Wolong is indeed worthy of respect."
"Why is such a good little brother single? Should you consider relaxing the gender conditions?"
"I beg the bosses of the Little Po Team to be careful. You must keep Wolong after this year's war!"
