At 7:30 in the morning, the whole team gathered at the door of the cafeteria on the first floor.
After a night's rest, everyone had washed away the fatigue from traveling. After putting on red and white clothes to conquer the Asian Games, everyone felt much better.
The Indonesian guy in charge of reception took Abu and introduced him for a long time.
"The cafeteria is all self-service, and each window has arranged the tastes of different countries. Window 1 is Indonesian food. I personally recommend you to try it. Chinese food is at window 7. You can find out by just browsing.
, the dishes are very rich!”
"In addition, there is a self-service area on the first floor of the building next door. If you need to exchange currency, apply for a phone card, or buy daily necessities, you can go there. It is very convenient!"
After once again emphasizing the convenience of the Asian Games Village, the Indonesian guy gave a thumbs up and showed his big white teeth.
"Wish you good luck in today's game!"
…
After breakfast, the bus that took the team to the Asian Games Village yesterday also drove back to the square at the entrance of the Asian Games Village.
During the break between the driver and Abu, Meng Ma also took on the role of explaining the process.
"The opening ceremony starts at 10 o'clock in the morning. When we arrive, we have to register our identities first, collect athlete IDs, then put on makeup, take registration photos, and line up... Considering that the League of Legends competition format is relatively long, the opening ceremony has been simplified a lot.
Basically it can be done in an hour.”
While Meng Ma was explaining, everyone also got a copy of the process sheet from Hart.
"I really need a urine test... I thought it was just a talk." The factory director was a little surprised after seeing the urine test in the afternoon.
"I checked the process. It is said that there will be someone watching from behind when you go to the toilet when taking samples. You won't be unable to urinate by then, right?" Uzi said mischievously.
When everyone heard this, they immediately laughed.
Although they had heard about urine testing during the training camp in Shenzhen, everyone was still very surprised when they saw the steps on the process sheet.
After all, doping is rare in the e-sports circle. These drugs are mainly used to improve physical performance, but for e-sports players who rely on nerve response speed and concentration, taking doping may be counterproductive.
If he was really high on drugs, he might have given them away on the field.
Compared with banning drugs, banning smoking may be more practical.
The domestic mid laner who was the runner-up in a certain S-match once famously said: "If Chinese players can each receive a pack of Furong King during the game, then the per capita combat effectiveness will be increased six times."
Of course, these are just jokes. Since e-sports has been included in the Asian Games and is an internationally certified competitive sport, the standards in all aspects must be consistent, and the players must also cooperate.
On the other side, Abu, who had finished communicating with the driver, also returned to the team. After glancing back and forth for a few times, he finally landed on Su Chen.
"There is something I need to discuss with you," Abu said with a smile. "During the opening ceremony, we will have a flag-raising ceremony. Each national team needs to arrange a flag bearer. I think it will be you."
Su Chen was stunned for a moment: "Let me be the flag bearer? Is this appropriate?"
He felt that the status of flag bearer not only depends on the strength of the players, but also their qualifications. The factory director, who is a living fossil of LPL, may be more suitable for this position.
"Don't think so much," Abu waved his hand, "The main thing is that you have better appearance and can show the spirit of our e-sports players. People at home and abroad will watch the opening ceremony. I can't choose someone with good looks.
?"
Upon hearing what Abu said, the factory director and Uzi immediately looked at each other with a bit of resentment in their eyes.
Can you do whatever you want just because you are handsome?
Seeing that Abu mentioned the job, Su Chen couldn't refuse, so he had no choice but to accept the job.
After the handover was completed, the whole team also boarded the bus and drove towards the venue of the exhibition match, Mahaka Square in the north of downtown Jakarta.
…
At nine o'clock in the morning, the homepage of Tuwei TV's platform.
The Asian Games LoL exhibition match broadcast room has started preheating an hour in advance.
Because it had the only broadcast rights in the country and it happened to be on a weekend, the number of people online in the live broadcast room increased rapidly, exceeding 200,000 in just ten minutes.
The commentary team responsible for today's opening ceremony, Xiao Cang, Xiao Xiao, and Shan Niruo, are sitting on the sofa, greeting the camera and the audience.
The three of them are all old people in the e-sports circle. Xiao Cang made her debut as a female WoW player in 2003. S4 was responsible for the commentary of the League of Legends World Championship and is considered the first generation of female e-sports commentators.
Xiaoxiao and Shanniruo are both retired players of WE, old men from the ancient times of lpl.
The three of them were full of emotions when they appeared in front of the camera, and the barrage immediately burst out with "Rem".
After so many years, Xiao Cang was deeply moved when he appeared in front of the camera as a commentator again.
"To be honest, ten years ago I never thought that e-sports would one day be included in the Asian Games. How are you two feeling now?" Xiao Cang asked with a smile.
Smiling, holding a carrot pillow in his arms, he cleared his throat and said: "I'm quite excited. I feel that the industry I have been working in has been recognized. At the same time, it is also quite regrettable. If I had persisted a little longer, I wouldn't have retired so early.
alright."
Xiaoxiao and the factory director are also figures from the same period. At their peak, they were no less famous than the factory director. Now that I see the latter participating in the Asian Games as a national team, I still feel envious.
When Shan Niruozheng was snickering on the side, he added with a smile: "This makes sense, Zhu Zhu should bear half of the blame."
"Hey, don't be disgusting in front of the audience," Shan Niruo said awkwardly, "I'm also very sorry, okay? If I had persisted a little longer, I might be the one assisting Uzi now, okay?"
Seeing the two people bickering, they also started discussing in the live broadcast room.
[It’s a pity that Zhuzhu retired early. The dead song jungler who was five years ahead of the version, and Panson’s auxiliary routine was buried]
[Gao Xuecheng (smile) was the man who added c after ad until he met Ruozi at his peak]
[Sister Cang next to her was holding back her laughter and her face turned red, hahaha]
[Rabbit tail is awesome, I haven’t seen Sister Cang in the lol circle for many years. Isn’t this better than the awkward chat between the Haier brothers? 】
Tuwei's broadcast style this time was more casual, not as rigid as the LPL game commentary. In addition, the three of them were also old people in the industry, and the atmosphere quickly became lively.
Xiao Cang, who was chatting happily, brought the topic back on track after hearing the reminder from the director in the headset.
"The opening ceremony will begin soon, and I would like to thank Kendang Chicken for its strong support of our program." Xiao Cang made a bouquet gesture with both hands, showing the fried chicken set meal on the round table in front of him, "Everyone can enjoy today's craziness.
Place an order during the Saturday event and it will be a best seller for 50 yuan~”
Shan Niruo also clapped his hands and said with a smile: "Brothers, hurry up, this wave is super profitable!"
After reading the list of sponsors, the screen in the live broadcast room finally switched to Mahaka's scene.
Along with the sound of music, an Indonesian dance troupe wearing national costumes entered the square and showed a Javanese dance performance.
In the voice-over, Xiao Cang also dutifully cooperated with the explanation and explained some local customs and customs in Indonesia.
After the opening dance performance ended and the dancers left the stage, the music was changed to exciting BGM, and the eight League of Legends national teams participating in the group stage also entered Mahaka Square in square formations.
The first to appear was the Indonesian team. The one holding the national flag in front of the team was the team's mid laner Whynuts, and behind him were the players and coaching staff.
The moment they appeared on the stage, there was a burst of warm cheers from the seats surrounding them.
"The one who will appear after the Indonesian team is the Hanguo team, and the one who serves as the team's flag bearer is... player Faker!" Xiao Cang just finished speaking.
The Hanguo team, wearing blue and white uniforms, entered from the passage. The leader, Lee Sang Hyuk, held the white Bagua flag in both hands and with a stern face greeted the audience's roaring cheers like a tsunami!
"Faker's popularity is so high... It feels like the cheers are louder than the Indonesian home team's cheers..." Smile was a little surprised.
But then the camera also showed the audience, where there were many tourists with Han country flags painted on their faces, cheering hard.
On the other side, Chinese tourists wearing red short-sleeved shirts were staring at the entrance, looking ready to go.
"The next person to appear is the Chinese team, and the one who will serve as the flag bearer is..." Xiao Cang continued to guide.
"It should be the director of the factory," Smile interjected, "I guess it should be him. I feel that those who raise the flag are usually the souls of the competition area..."
But as soon as he finished speaking, the Chinese team had already walked out of the tunnel, and Xiaoxiao immediately realized that he had guessed wrong.
"the people's republic of a!"
Accompanied by the live announcement, Su Chen, who was standing at the front of the team, held the five-star red flag in both hands, with a resolute expression, a tall figure, and walked out of the channel step by step with steady steps!
"It's Su Chen! The flag bearer of the Chinese team is Su Chen!" Xiao Cang shouted in surprise.
…
The moment Su Chen walked out of the passage holding the five-star red flag, a burst of warm cheers immediately erupted in Mahaka Square.
Even in the noisy scene, Su Chen could even hear someone calling his name.
But he couldn't turn his head to look at the expressions of the people around him. He had to focus all his attention on what was in front of him. According to the pace of the temporary rehearsal, he held the national flag and followed the rhythm of the music, leading the team to the stage step by step.
Under the blue sky and white clouds, the sun shines on him through the five-star red flag.
On the stage, Faker, who had already raised the flag of the Cold Country team, looked at Su Chen walking towards him from the audience, pursed his lips, and his eyes were full of different emotions.
The moment Su Chen stepped onto the stage and raised the national flag solemnly, Wuzi, the factory director, Xiye, Xiaotian and others surrounding him also clapped excitedly.
Whether it was the Chinese watching the game live or the audience watching the game in the Tuwei live broadcast room, the three people responsible for the commentary all felt an indescribable excitement and pride!
The public screen in the live broadcast room was also filled with rows of [a] words.
After the flag bearers of the eight representative teams delivered the national flags to the stage.
Mr. Fok Qigang, co-chairman of Asian e-sports, also took the stage again and delivered a speech. His words also well summarized the significance of this Asian Games e-sports performance.
"Looking back at the past twenty years of e-sports, walking into Mahaka Square is the best summary. Looking forward to the next twenty years of e-sports, walking out of Mahaka Square will be a new starting point!"
