Chapter 50 Trash talk before the game? Let's talk about the truth first
On September 1st, the main hall of Wukesong Gymnasium in the capital was packed with people in the huge competition venue.
As the venue for the 2017 LPL Summer Finals, the main hall of Wukesong Stadium has 14,000 fixed seats. In order to ensure the on-site viewing effect, LPL officials canceled the outermost rows of ordinary seats with poor views when selling tickets. This is also
In order to ensure attendance during the finals.
But seeing the huge crowds at the scene, I couldn't help but regret it. The official person in charge who made the decision couldn't help but regret it, feeling that I had underestimated the enthusiasm of domestic fans.
This can’t be blamed on him. After all, a game called PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds suddenly emerged this year and launched an impact on the status of League of Legends. The person in charge thought that League of Legends, an old game that has been in operation for more than seven years, would be like other e-sports games.
It was going downhill, but I didn’t expect that this was just the beginning of glory.
Looking at this posture, let alone selling seats with poor viewing angles, even if the audience is allowed to bring a small bench to sit near those seats, it is estimated that there will still be many fans flocking to it.
To put it bluntly, with only more than 10,000 tickets, how can it satisfy the tens of millions of League of Legends viewers across the country?
What's more, the two teams in this finals, RNG and EDG, are recognized as the two teams with the most fans and the most popularity in the country.
The tickets for the finals were almost sold out within a few seconds on the day they went on sale. The scalpers who grabbed the tickets also made a fortune. The 388 tickets sold only doubled or tripled, so you have to praise them.
What a conscientious seller.
League of Legends players from all over the world gathered together for a game. It was a kind of fate. They immediately started chatting with the people around them. However, thanks to the vigorous promotion of Mandarin in our country, otherwise this would not be the case.
The audience outside the venue will have to shut themselves up for a while.
Of course, no matter how good a social person you are, you can't chat for long in front of a circle of strangers. As the clock passed by four o'clock, all kinds of complaints immediately erupted from the scene.
"Haven't it started yet? Didn't you say that the fight will start at four o'clock in the afternoon?"
"Hai, I see that this is your first time watching a game live, right?"
"Really, is there any explanation in this?"
"Actually, there's nothing to say. It's just the characteristic of our horse uniform. When the time comes, we will first give you a performance that you can't appreciate, then we will bring out those advertising sponsors, and finally let the players go on stage to prepare for the competition. A set
It will take at least twenty minutes to talk."
"That's a real genius, I'd really like to thank you!"
I believe that no one can imagine that such a lively scene will not be possible again in the next few years due to the epidemic.
At four o'clock exactly, the lights in the venue suddenly dimmed, and a ten-second countdown appeared on the big screen in the center.
The audience who had just been complaining about this and that suddenly became excited and counted down along with the numbers on the big screen.
"three!"
"two!"
"one!"
After a brief period of darkness, Riot Games' logo and the LPL division's logo reappeared on the big screen, and the awkward dance session that was required in every final was performed as usual, as the old viewers expected.
To everyone's surprise, the host of this final was not Ren Dong, whom the audience was familiar with in previous years, but another familiar face, CCTV host Zhu Zhen.
"Hello, audience friends, I am the host Zhu Zhen!"
Zhu Zhen trotted all the way to the center of the stage, held up the microphone and shouted passionately: "Summoners on the scene, please bring your enthusiasm to every audience watching the live broadcast! Come!"
After a burst of cheers, Zhu Zhenfu said enthusiastically: "I am very happy to come to BJ's Wukesong Stadium. Today here we usher in the first day of the celebration of the sixth anniversary of the League of Legends national server, and at the same time, the 2017 League of Legends Professional League.
The overall champion of the summer split will also be determined today."
"First of all we want to thank..."
"Okay, these are some things that I have to say, and next is the part where you will spontaneously give more cheers. We invite the protagonist of today's game to appear!"
After Balabala read a bunch of commercials, Zhu Zhen actually told the truth, which instantly made the fans at the scene feel good about him.
"First of all welcome let us welcome, EDward Gaming!"
"Top laner Theshy, jungler Clearlove7, mid laner Sajesty and Meiko, substitute player Mouse and head coach Nofe!"
EDG's five starting players filed in from both sides of the stage and stood on the right hand side of host Zhu Zhen. At the same time, the cheers were louder and louder. Fans shouted for their favorite players.
Yang Yi, who has his own ID, is also very excited.
“Next, let’s welcome RIVE UP!”
"Top laner Letme, jungler Mlxg, mid laner Xiaohu, bottom laner Uzi and Ming, substitute player Yihan and head coach Firefox!"
After introducing the players and coaches of the two teams in turn, Zhu Zhen and the two substitutes left the stage cleanly and quickly, leaving the stage to the ten players and coaches who were taking their seats.
At the same time, a short clip of pre-game trash talk that was recorded just three days ago was played on the big screen.
"How can I put it? It's our two teams talking trash again. I feel that our reserves are a bit insufficient."
At the beginning, the comedian Xiaohu appeared first. Xiaohu, who had just won the title of Tiger 90,000, was very gentle outside the court. When he came up, he first said something not offensive but very Versailles, which made the fans of both the Pig and Dog teams laugh at the same time.
"Actually, our two teams have played against each other several times before. If we meet RNG in the final, I feel that our winning rate will be higher. After all, Xia Zhi EDG is invincible."
After Tian Ye said this, he clenched his fist, and he was still a little bit naughty when he made such an action, which immediately caused the female fans at the scene to scream.
"EDG's two top laners each have their own characteristics. Mouse's performance is more stable, but I feel that he can only play one hero," Letme said with a smile. This hero of course refers to the ancestral tree of EDG's top laner, so the subtext
No need to say much about what it means.
"As for player TheShy, he is indeed a bit more aggressive than Mouse in terms of laning, but his performance is not stable enough."
After reviewing EDG's two top laners, Letme smiled confidently:
"I will let EDG know what an all-around top laner can be that is stable and can support Kyrie."
To be honest, when I was recording the trash talk, Yang Yi was almost dumbfounded by what Helpme said - Brother, who gave you the confidence?
You must know that this is not the version of last year's top laner with three fantasy gods. Just choose a tank in the top lane and mix it up. This year's top lane still has a certain level of laning strength.
Having said that, just three days ago, a new hero was launched on the Chinese server called Ornn, the Flame of the Mountain Hidden. The setting is that he is a god of forging. In fact, in the game, he can indeed buy equipment for his teammates, and he can also play in the lane.
The strength is not low. It is obviously a tank, but its early damage is comparable to that of a warrior.
If this hero came out earlier, maybe Letme could be used to play in the top lane, but it's a pity that it won't work.
"The heroes I use are relatively single, and Letme does play more heroes than me. However, he is good at everything, but not good at anything. Is this the kind of person I should say?"
Mouse smiled and said: "And those heroes of yours are only used in the regular season. If one day your teammates ask you to choose Sword Girl, Crocodile, or Qinggang Shadow, do you really dare to use them in the competition?"
Although he is no longer in the starting lineup, his aggressiveness is increasing day by day under Yang Yi's eyes and ears.
Jiang Chenglu is even more direct:
"I have watched his games, and I feel that he has no merit. This kind of blue-collar top laner is everywhere in the LPL. The so-called offense is only carried out with the help of the jungler, but I will also call him the jungler."
Letme chuckled: "I don't think the jungler you call is better than the jungler I call."
"As for Mlxg, his jungle style has changed a lot recently. It feels like he has changed from carnivorous to herbivorous," said Ming Kai, who has been studying Mala Xiangguo closely. "But now I have become a carnivorous jungler.
Even a pig girl can eat meat, so he should be careful in his jungle area."
Teacher Laxiang barely stopped and almost laughed out loud: "Well, I feel like my pig should be stronger than his pig, because mine is a spider and he is just a little piglet."
The factory director couldn't help but laugh, because it was a joke. When filming the pre-game trash talk in last summer's finals, Xiang Guo said that his own horse was a human horse, and the factory director's was just a foal.
Then EDG won the championship 3-0.
Now that Xiangguo says similar things again, wouldn't the result of today's game be...?
"I'll give Zhi Mian's performance a 7. Although I won all the previous games, I just feel that I can play better."
As soon as the camera turned, the picture was already shown to Scout:
"Then, I want to give player Xiaohu a 6, because even if I think my performance is not good enough, I still have to be better than him."
"You only gave me six points? I think eight points is a bit low!"
Xiaohu, who had just played an amazing performance in the semi-finals, was full of confidence: "If I were to score, I would give myself a nine. As for why, I believe everyone knows."
"Player Ming has grown very fast this season. It seems that many people think that he can already be compared with me."
"In this final, I will prove..."
Tian Tian originally wanted to say seriously [I will prove who is the number one assistant in the LPL], but as he spoke, he couldn't stand it anymore:
"Forget it, forget it. If you don't prove it, you won't prove it. I feel that this sentence is poisonous. Let's just say it normally. We will defeat RNG."
The editor is also good at making jokes. He gave Ming Kai a shot here, and he found that his face was a little dark.
"Meiko is a more versatile support. All the support heroes play well, and I am better than him..."
"It seems not! He is not inferior to me online, and his command is better than mine!" Xiao Ming said with some exaggeration.
Anyway, the two assistants are very good at handling things. It is obviously a session where they talk trash to each other, but it makes them feel like they are bragging about each other in business.
Even Suke Nakano came out to take a look around, and the rest was the main event.
"If I have to say an advantage, it would be that my AD is a puppy. The puppy is very capable online."
As Xiao Ming introduced his ADC in one sentence, the high-spirited Yang Yi also appeared in the camera:
"I don't know if Brother Bath is strong online, but I know one thing."
"That is, I have never lost a game against him this year."
"I feel like Majesty, a new player, is still too young," Brother Bath's meaty face appeared on the screen, and he said with enigmatic confidence: "The playoffs and the regular season are not the same concept. I will do this in
This final will teach him well and let him understand this truth."
Klin Lawu is also very confident: "This feels a bit difficult, since our EDG team has been established, we have to win at least one LPL championship every year."
"Brother, your team has only been established for two years, right? Don't talk like it's some kind of metaphysics." Xiangguo immediately retorted.
"Speaking of metaphysics..."
As soon as this was mentioned, Yang Yike became more energetic:
"Have you forgotten that the greatest mystery of LPL is that Brother Zuko will never win the championship? I think you have some ideas about this mystery. Counting from the time when S3 debuted to now..."
"Speaking of just debuting,"
Of course Uzi cannot let Yang Yi talk nonsense about him:
"I reached the finals of the global finals when I was 17 years old. What about you?"
"You seem very proud of your runner-up position?"
Yang Yi almost laughed out loud after hearing this:
"You also entered the finals of the global finals at the age of 17. Why did Faker win the championship, but you were only the champion? Is it because you don't like the championship? Or do you like the runner-up too much?"
"If it's the latter, it doesn't matter, because I will give you another runner-up soon!"
——————
"Majesty is too crazy. Even if it's just trash talk before the game, doesn't he disrespect Uzi, a veteran, by saying this?"
"How can such a morally corrupt player still play the game, and the officials don't care about it?"
After all, Brother Zuko is a star player who has been in the game for many years. The number of fans he has accumulated over the years is not comparable to that of Yang Yi, a newcomer who has just debuted for only a year. Fortunately, the official has already released the video of the trash talk before the game.
On various platforms, fans have experienced the first round of impact.
Otherwise, someone might throw Nongfu Spring at EDG’s seats.
Although this was not the first time he watched this video, Kang Jianghao was still a little shocked by the scale of the trash talk.
The same goes for LPL officials. I don’t know which director was invited to edit the film this time, but one of them really dared to say it and the other dared to broadcast it.
This is not an issue that can be ignored. The director is the one who ultimately decides on the film, so you don’t have to think about it. Even if these words are spoken by Yang Yi himself, the person in charge will definitely be punished.
With so much fandom out there, maybe this director will be opened and found out in two days.
With such courage, is the director also a fan of Yang Yi?
Thinking about it this way, it seems to make a lot of sense.
Looking at the excited audience around him, Kang Jianghao, a die-hard fan and good brother of Yang Yi, couldn't help but shrink his neck and began to pretend that he was just a passerby.
"I hope Brother Yi can walk out of the game alive today, Amen."
