On the afternoon of July 6th, the first match day of the European and American Competition in Berlin on the other side of the continental shelf is about to come to an end, and across the sea, the Pacific Competition finals in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, are about to begin. The Tokyo DFM fellows from America Summer are about to challenge their home country.
The fighting wild king Levi and his teammates.
At this moment, the Asian Tournament, which is most anticipated by the audience and has the strongest participation in the competition area, opens at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall in Taiwan!
The venue of the exhibition hall is limited. Even if all the spectators sit on seats simply arranged with folding chairs, it can only accommodate more than a thousand people. However, the venue is full of spectators, and the enthusiasm of the Benwan compatriots to watch the game is indeed
Very enthusiastic!
And since it is named after the exhibition hall, the design of the venue is indeed not a hindrance. A polygonal display screen is specially placed in front of the player tunnel at the deepest part of the stage to facilitate the players to pose with the intercontinental competition icons on the screen when they appear. And in the tunnel
On both sides, there are sculptures made of steel bars, which look like a hollowed-out Summoner's Rift.
Further forward, the player seats are arranged in opposite shapes on the left and right, and a large screen hangs directly above for the audience to watch the game.
In this way, the player seats occupy the core of the venue, and there is no extra space to perform the opening ceremony. However, in order to make up for the lack of pre-game programs, the organizers invited a group of Taiwanese girls with gorgeous figures to cosplay as League of Legends characters.
, did not stand on the stage, but stood directly in front of the audience, doing the work of the reception girl.
Not bad, right?
Mi Xia, who was watching the live broadcast in the background, almost wanted to go in and be a spectator. Anyway, there is no edg game today...
However, there are no edg games and opening performances. Even in such a shabby arena, there still needs to be an entrance ceremony.
LPL host Ren Dong and Taiwanese female host Anna Li stood in the center of the stage.
"Hello! Dear friends who are watching the League of Legends game here and on the computer screen on TV, good afternoon everyone! I am your host Anna Li!" Anna Li opened with a homely greeting, and the LPL host
It's not a style.
"Hello everyone, I am the live host Ren Dong! So, let us see your enthusiasm again, okay!" Ren Dong was very proficient in stimulating the atmosphere of the scene.
The audience then burst into applause that was not too enthusiastic but not too silent. It was a decent applause.
The two hosts then introduced the rules of the competition in unison.
The Intercontinental Tournament is the latest international event organized by Riot Games. The rules are more complicated than MSI's double round-robin group stage and bo5 knockout format. The audience really needs an explanation of the competition system.
In the group stage, teams with the same ranking in each division compete against each other in a single round-robin, and the division with the highest points directly advances to the finals.
At the end of the group stage, the second and third place will not be directly eliminated. The two divisions will also have a Bo5 semi-final, and the winner will challenge the top team in the group stage to determine the championship.
After explaining the competition system clearly, the entrance ceremony for the contestants will begin soon!
The first team to appear is the LMS team, which are the fourth seed m17, the strongest team on the surface JT invested by Jaylen, and the second seed ahq led by the super popular LMS player Ximen.
And the Flash Wolf FW who is about to start a dynasty era in LMS!
"Wow even!"
Anna Lee is obviously a senior e-sports enthusiast. When FW appeared on the stage, she was so excited that she howled like a wolf.
"I'm a Wolves fan and I'm proud! Our FW is the first place in the LMS Spring Split. It is famous for its excellent midfielder linkage and lane transition support. It has also repeatedly represented our LMS Division on the world stage. In the just-concluded iem competition
They won a championship! So this time in the Asian competition, I hope they can reach the top again! Get super good results for our LMS! Wuhu!!!"
At such a young age, she can still be on stage without caring about her host status, almost jumping on her feet like a girl to support the team. Ren Dong has never seen a partner with this kind of hosting style in so many years, and he looks a little bit
shocked.
However, the little girl's gesture really aroused the atmosphere of the audience.
In fact, fw's popularity in LMS is not as good as that of the second seed ahq. Ximen Ye said that the solo kill of Faker in the World Championship the year before last and the back-and-forth record with Sakura Girl attracted fans, and because of Anna Li's transfer, fw was given the opportunity this time.
The outburst of cheering and cheering atmosphere overwhelmed ahq who had just appeared on the stage!
Then the lck players appeared, starting with the fourth seed, from the White Shield team mvp, to the Samsung team ssg, to the kt team, and finally the double champion skt!
The audience, already disturbed by the host's enthusiasm, cheered for each team's appearance.
When skt first appeared on the stage, the cheers were even more intense.
Anna Lee is equally enthusiastic.
"You can tell from the welcome at the scene that skt must be a strong team! They are indeed like this. Every player in the team has the best strength and can adapt to changes. The team has various
Such a system can bring out super strength! skt! is undoubtedly one of the strongest teams in the world today!"
In the lounge, Xiaohu was a little sensitive after hearing this.
"Uzi, tell me, if there was no edg, would the female host still add a one at the end of this sentence?"
"I don't know if I will continue to add one. I just want to know who is a fan of lpl without edg. Will mika be a fan of me?" Uzi joked with a smile.
"Guigui, what are you imagining about the materials?" mlxg also showed no mercy.
"Haha, what are you fantasizing about? Of course I fantasize about the audience cheering for me." Uzi expressed his thoughts.
But wait until the lpl players appear.
Something unexpected happened.
Not to mention the cheers and applause, when the hostess Anna Li introduced we, nb and rng in a normal way, except for a small number of mainlanders, the audience was all calm and did not give any feedback at all.
The cheers from the lck team were not loud before, which can be explained by the fact that the audience was not emotionally aroused, but they cheered so loudly for skt. Why did the lpl team become silent as soon as they arrived...
The lpl audience in the live broadcast room suddenly exploded.
[What are you doing to the audience? You’re not applauding, right? You’re doing this in front of a global audience.]
[Comparing the sound difference between skt and we is too obvious.]
【Do you really hate LPL that much?】
[Kaohsiung really deserves to be the base camp of xx?]
…
On a certain black and white underworld forum, there were not many people to help the audience. Some people said that there was a problem with the live radio system, and some said that the audience was tired of shouting.
On the contrary, almost all of them praised the audience for doing the right thing. It should have been done long ago. It is very courageous!
But when edg made his final appearance, it seemed that the cheers from the front were suppressed!
All the scattered ground-washing remarks in the forum before were all overturned in one fell swoop.
