Magic City, the venue for the s7 global finals semi-finals.
The areas on the right side of the main stage are the locations for post-game interviews in each competition area.
The one who is being interviewed by Yu Shuang after the game is i.
As for Lu Chen, he was invited to the post-match interview in the LCK division this time.
This time was no different than the last post-match interview with the European competition host. This time Lu Chen had to rely on a translator throughout the process.
After all, the Korean language is very squeaky, and Lu Chen really doesn’t understand it!
Lu Chen's entire knowledge base about Korean is limited to the sentence "西八".
Since you don’t understand at all, you need to pay more attention when answering the interview questions.
After all, no matter what the words are, their meanings will inevitably fluctuate after being translated back and forth.
After all, being interviewed in other competition regions represents the image of the LPL competition region.
The image of our own competition area still needs to be maintained.
Therefore, Lu Chen used his "official accent" skills again. When faced with the lck host's questions, he gave answers that were quite satisfactory, with simple words and clear meaning, and it was difficult to create ambiguity no matter how he translated them.
What I’m afraid of is some self-media taking things out of context and setting the pace for the sake of traffic.
This kind of thing is common no matter which competition region it is in.
Not to mention self-media, there are also official channels that set the pace.
Earn money, don’t be shabby!
Finally, the host of lck asked a question:
"Player nd, in the finals a week later, you will face the triple crown champion of the S competition and the defending champion SKT of this S competition. What do you think your chances of winning are?"
After listening to the translator's narration, Lu Chen smiled slightly, the meaning of which was somewhat unclear, and then used Lu Benwei's classic quotations from that year.
"Let's go to 50-50! We also beat them in the group stage!"
...
Backstage omg lounge.
After finishing their respective post-game interviews, Lu Chen and his teammates walked back to the lounge.
As soon as he entered the door, head coach Mingzhe came up to him and gave each of the players a bear hug.
The other people in the lounge, including the substitute players and the team leader, all had silly smiles on their faces, their faces were red, and they were obviously extremely excited.
After hugging the team members, Mingzhe originally wanted to say something else.
But before the words left his mouth, he was interrupted by the team leader.
The leader waved his right hand in front of his body while holding the cell phone and said, "Well, well, let's talk about it later if you have anything to say. Everyone is probably hungry. Quickly pack up and get ready to leave. I've reserved the seats. Let's have a good meal."
Let’s have a meal to celebrate.”
Oh haha!
As soon as they heard that they were eating and drinking at public expense, everyone cheered and began to pack up their personal belongings.
The leader led the way and walked at the front, omg everyone walked towards the back of the venue.
Arriving at the underground parking lot of the competition venue, the special car that usually transports players from the OMG team base was already waiting here.
After all, this game is played in the Magic City, so it can be considered as being on one's own territory, and the food, clothing, housing and transportation can be easily arranged.
Everyone got in the car one after another, and within a few minutes, they arrived at the destination for today's post-game dinner.
After throwing some items that were inconvenient to carry with me in the car, I got out of the car and walked towards the restaurant.
The club's full-time driver drove back to the base carrying everyone's belongings.
After all, the OMG team's base is quite far away from the venue for today's competition. If we go back to the base first and then go out to find something to eat, I'm afraid everyone will faint from hunger.
Everyone else was fine, but the five players on the field, fighting fiercely for five rounds, consumed a lot of physical energy and energy.
There was a surge of excitement at that time. People who win the competition are more excited than others and can't feel it.
But once that energy passed, for example, when Lu Chen was interviewed after the LCK competition, his legs became a little weak from hunger.
In today's game, Lu Chen is definitely the person who consumes the most energy in the OMG team.
During the game, Lu Chen also had the task of resisting pressure, the task of carrying, and the task of directing. He also had to do dirty work. What's more, Lu Chen also did the coach's work.
Maybe that’s the saying goes: Those who are capable work hard!
After walking into the restaurant and taking a seat, while waiting for the food to be served, everyone took out their mobile phones and started playing.
As I was scrolling through the phone, I suddenly burst into laughter, and then the laughter gradually became abnormal.
Lu Chen, who was sitting next to i, stretched his head out curiously, wanting to see what he was looking at.
It turned out that I came across a video on Weibo.
The content of the video is live-oriented. Specifically, after omg defeated Samsung and advanced to the finals, the fan immediately turned on xx music and sang "Light of the Planet" along with the accompaniment.
"The earth keeps spinning..."
"One day, one month, one year..."
"In the dark..."
"I was also lonely and afraid of being tired..."
"But the dream is still around..."
Lu Chen couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud.
What this brother sings is really a bit ugly, even worse than what Gogoing, one of the original singers of Planet Light, sang.
However, Lu Chen just smiled, and he didn't know which point of laughter he was hitting on, so he kept laughing.
The poster of this Weibo also added a sentence after the video:
【Tonight, we are all 59e!】
After watching the video, i immediately forwarded this Weibo post and added the following sentence - Tonight, we are all 59e!
The creator of this video may be simply the whole job, not necessarily 59e.
But i is a genuine 59e.
He was a fan of ig before he became a professional, otherwise he would not have come to omg in the first place.
The title 59e is actually a black name for omg fans, which evolved from the black name 60e for we fans.
But as OMG's performance has gradually deteriorated over the years, many OMG fans have begun to call themselves 59e, somewhat self-deprecatingly.
However, after OMG defeated Samsung in the semi-finals today, many OMG fans can proudly say loudly that they are 59e!
After i forwarded this Weibo, many people immediately forwarded this Weibo.
They also added this sentence at the end: Tonight, we are all 59e!
Most people are joining in the fun, and most of the people who forward it are actually not fans of OMG, and may not pay attention to OMG games at all.
But the development of anything is actually inseparable from these people who join in the fun.
This is true for traditional sports, and the same is true for e-sports.
The sudden increase in forwarding volume of this Weibo post, which was popular among ordinary viewers, is enough to illustrate the attention brought by OMG's victory over Samsung and advancement to the finals today.
The topic "omg reached the s7 finals" has already entered the top ten of Weibo's hot search list, and it continues to rise.
Lu Chen doesn't usually use Weibo very much, but he still clicks on the post bar he often goes to.
Let’s fight stress. Good guy, the first post at the top did not disappoint Lu Chen.
[Isn’t it true that after winning a semi-final, 59e can also speak loudly? 】
