Chapter 10 The Opening Ceremony of the All-Star Game
After a day of waiting, the All-Star Competition finally kicked off.
After lunch, Gao Lin and others followed the competition staff into the Royal Albert Concert Hall to attend the opening ceremony with the invited contestants from each competition area.
Although the tickets booked by the competition this time were very high, with a regular ticket costing 20 euros and a premium ticket costing hundreds of euros, the fans and spectators who came to watch the game were still attracted by the competition’s various pre-game promotions. There were nearly two thousand people, almost filling the upper and lower floors of the Royal Albert Hall.
Under the leadership of the competition staff, everyone from Gao Lin walked into the front row contestant area from the backstage entrance.
Sitting in front of Gao Lin and everyone is the Southeast Asian team, and sitting behind Gao Lin and everyone is the Korean team.
Gao Lin didn't know anyone from the two teams. He occasionally recognized a Taiwanese player he had met in the national server exchange competition, but he couldn't name him, and he didn't have much interaction with them. Xiao Zifeng, on the other hand, sat down and went to Southeast Asia. The people in the team greeted him and talked to him one after another.
Compared with the enthusiasm of the players from the Southeast Asian team, the players from the Korean team behind them had a different look. However, except for Makenoon who looked indifferent, the other four people were staring at Gao Lin and everyone with hatred, especially Gao Lin. It is conceivable that if looks could kill, then Gao Lin would definitely die tens of millions of times.
In the last Fed Cup World Finals, both Korean teams were eliminated by Gao Lin. This must have been a big blow to the players of the two teams, and it can even be said to be an insult. You know, the Koreans have always They consider their country to be the kingdom of Asian e-sports. In their eyes, there are no professional e-sports teams in Asia that can compare with them, especially professional teams like China that are born with shortcomings and are stunted. They are even more disdainful in their eyes. At first glance, I never expected that in the Fed Cup World Finals, the two most proud professional teams in China would lose to Huayi Star, a small and unknown Chinese team. This is completely naked. Slaps, taunts and insults.
"These sticks, we have provoked them, why are they looking at us like the enemies who killed our father?" Sitting next to Gao Lin, Shi Xinshang kept gesturing with his chin and said to the back.
"It's not the murder of my father's enemy, but it's close." Zhang Zhouda said with a smile, "In the last Confederations Cup finals, Lu Ye and the others defeated two other teams in a row. How could this not make people angry?"
"In competitions, the outcome depends on one's ability. If they are like this, they can't afford to lose." Shi Xinshang said.
"If you can't afford to lose, you can't afford to lose. Don't you dare to scold others?" Lu Hai said with a smile. The last time he defeated the Korean team twice, he couldn't help but feel a sense of superiority when he was sitting in front of the Korean players. He thought to himself, So what about your Korean super team, and what about the world's top teams, they were still defeated by my team with double kills and zero blocks.
A few people were talking, and all the teams had entered the stage. Soon, the entire concert hall suddenly went dark, a cylindrical light appeared out of thin air in the middle of the stage, and the two people slowly walked out from the back of the stage.
These two people, a man and a woman, are both British. The man is handsome and the woman is charming. They both hold a microphone in their hands.
"Woo,."
"咻咻,."
The moment these two people appeared, bursts of fanatical whistles and shouts erupted from the audience.
"Why does this man look familiar to me?" Zhang Zhou looked at the male host and said.
"Anthony McPartlin," said Shi Xinxin, "one of the two supporters of Britain's Got Talent."
"I feel a bit like Doudou." Zhang Zhou said coquettishly.
"What kind of vision do you have, Dudou is not like this at all." Jing Yisen turned around and said with a smile.
"It seems like the competition team really spent a lot of money to invite such a big-name host," Lu Hai said.
"By the way, Mr. Lu, the organizer said they would invite celebrities from all over the world to compete. Do you know who they are?" Zhang Zhou asked Lu Haidao, tilting his head.
"How do I know this? I'm not an insider of the competition," Lu Hai said.
Hearing this, Gao Lin couldn't help but think of what Yang Qingyu told him on QQ, saying that she was also invited to participate in the competition. He didn't know whether this was true or not, but thinking about it, Yang Qingyu shouldn't be like this. Just kidding.
The two male and female hosts on the stage spoke in English for two or three minutes, and waves of fanatical whistles and shouts erupted from the audience. Soon, various "League of Legends" games flashed on the big screen on the stage. The introductory picture is followed by a COS show of various heroes.
What is new from previous competitions is that for this opening ceremony, the competition team specially produced a ten-minute official animated short film. The picture of that short film is very beautiful and spectacular, showing the fighting scenes of the heroes vividly. Compared with the so-called 3D The special effects films were even better than others, and everyone in Gao Lin couldn't help but admire Sai Fang's originality.
The last part of the opening ceremony was to introduce the participating teams and players. The first person invited to the stage by the competition staff was the Russian team.
As usual, whenever the two hosts introduce team players, waves of whistles and shouts erupt from the audience. However, the loudness of the whistles and shouts depends on the reputation of the player being introduced.
Unsurprisingly, the most popular player in the Russian team is Julilanko. When the charming female host introduced his personal honors, it took a full minute to complete the introduction, and many of them were brief during this period.
After the Russian team, there is the American team, and then there is the Korean team.
Although the Korean team does not have a very good reputation in the world of e-sports, they still received many whistles and shouts on the stage, especially South Korea's king mid laner Makenoon, and many Korean fans who came to watch the game with the team. She screamed for him crazily when the host introduced him.
The fourth person to take the stage was Gao Lin.
Under the leadership of the competition staff, the five players from Gao Lin walked slowly onto the stage and stood in a row facing the audience like the players from the four teams in front.
"Anthony, I heard that you used to like playing Dota." The charming female host smiled and tilted her head and asked Anthony McPartlin next to her in English.
"Yes." Anthony McPartlin nodded and said with a smile, "Dota ruined a lot of my youth."
"Then do you know a person named Max?" The charming female host smiled and looked at Xiao Zifeng.
"Eva Xia, I think you are too bad at talking to each other." Anthony McPartlin looked at the charming female host and teased, "Max, the king of people, what multi-tower fan doesn't understand this? I will always Remember, that red figure, that flowing long hair, that man with incredible skills." As he spoke, he paused for a moment, then turned to look at Xiao Zifeng, "He is the king of e-sports for a generation, a man who once inspired many people. Our man of infinite blood and passion, Max.”
