The discussion about scores was forced to stop due to the helpless voice of the long-haired art guy.
Lin Huan was relieved and gave the artistic brother a grateful look, apologizing for the rudeness he just complained about your long flowing hair.
Even though the promotional video had a script, it was shot very quickly. The most time-consuming part of the process was the general shyness of the players in front of the camera. The long-haired photographer almost broke down. The domineering feeling of WE Nakano was able to live up to the promise.
It was also the first time in a performance that the two young men gave a graceful speech under the national flag.
The promotional video as a whole inherits the design of the S7 opening in the previous life, but adds an upward climbing cutscene in the ice-breaking session.
The most difficult thing was the last shot without a real green cloth. We are all a group of e-sports teenagers. In normal times, they all have superb acting skills when playing games, but in reality, everyone looks like a fool.
After struggling for a long time, the official promotional video was finally finished, followed by the new season makeup photos of each major team.
…
On January 19, after a brief lunch, all WE members boarded the base vehicle for the first game of the new season.
Before leaving, Lin Huan solemnly tied the safety rope given by fans on his right hand and slowly closed the base door for the aunt who stayed at the base.
"Let's go, Old Lin!"
"Come here."
The venue for the spring regular season is set at the Super Mall in Shanghai, dozens of kilometers away from WE’s existing club base.
After winning the first championship, the LPL, which had a lot of money, immediately moved the competition venue here.
By the way, our shy man Jiang Chenglu was put on the rotation list by Redmi in his first game today because of his good performance in the training match.
Although 957 took the initiative to recommend it, it still shows how hard he worked.
It seems that he was infected by the involution of the entire WE team. As a substitute, TheShy did not waste his talent. After switching to the top lane, the huge amount of training immediately revealed to the coaching staff his top lane style that is incompatible with 957 and LPL.
.
How could Hongmi, who was born in the LCK, not know that such a top laner was a treasure? After exchanging opinions with Lin Huan, he planned to let the opponent play in the spring training period to test the waters.
Of course, the first win in the first game must be achieved steadily.
Everyone's emotions were a little subtle along the way.
After all, their purpose in participating in the LPL regular season half a year ago was just to get tickets for the World Championship, but now they are participating in the opening game as a new world champion.
I have to say, the huge gap is intoxicating.
"Actually, I'm very curious about how Faker managed to maintain such a high level of competition and desire for victory after winning two championships." Xiye was playing with her phone absentmindedly.
Emperor Kang sat with Xiye and said nothing. He also wanted to know.
Originally, they played e-sports just because of their choice of life path. To put it more simply, it is better to have a well-paying job than to work in a factory and drive screws with no other thought.
So now the championship is won and the money is also won.
The overwhelming pressure, the instant loss of goals, and the overwhelming pressure from the outside world to defend the title can almost suffocate people.
During the offseason, the WE players were all involved, and it can even be said that the amount of training was not much less than during the World Championships, but Kandi himself always felt uncomfortable, and the urge to be smashed and lie flat at any time lingered in his mind. go.
After all, compared to boring training, it is really fun.
Among the five, Jiu Wuqi's symptoms are slightly less severe. After all, from the leg brother's point of view, he will retire after playing this year, so there is nothing wrong with trying harder in the last year of his career.
In addition, Jiang Chenglu and Xiao Duan have never won a championship, even the LPL league championship.
The legacy of championships cannot be seen in them.
"Old Lin, can you say something?"
Kandi was quite curious about Lin Guangguang's thoughts. After all, even if he didn't play professionally, in his eyes, he was the type who could get into a key university and become a winner in life.
As he spoke, the sleeping team members around him quietly pricked up their ears.
"Champion?"
"Actually, I didn't think much about it. At first I liked it, and then I insisted..." Lin Huan was sketching in his notebook, and said in a daze: "I'm not sure if I will lose interest in League of Legends one day. By then, Just treat him as a job."
"But one thing I'm sure of!"
"What?"
"This place called Summoner's Rift has carried my youth. The most glorious moment in my life was when I stood at the top of a field. I think that sense of accomplishment is irresistible."
"Everyone is looking for the value of life. I want to wait until I get older and say to my children: Hey, remember to say your father's name in school. When those little brats want to be friends with you, ask first. His father's rank is not that of the strongest king, so he cannot stand under the same green shade as you."
"Hahaha, I think it must have been very interesting at that time. At least those of us standing at the forefront of the times have achieved hundreds of millions of achievements in the fields we are good at, right?"
Lin Huan's focus is as novel as ever.
"Is life successful?"
"Well, just don't regret it. If the 2016 championship looks like luck to outsiders, then it is imperative for us to defend the title in 2017."
"Set a small goal and win a Grand Slam, brothers!"
"good!"
"Set a small goal and win a Grand Slam this year!"
"WE, come on!"
The shy man sat at the end, a little at a loss.
What's wrong? What happened?
Why do my Chinese teammates suddenly feel like they're on fire? Aren't we just going to play a simple regular season debut?
Did I wake up and travel to the day of the World Championship finals?
In any case, it definitely makes sense for teammates to suddenly join hands. It seems more in line with a team to reach out. There is always no problem in being gregarious.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing Jiang Chenglu's cuteness because he didn't get the romantic language unique to Chinese people, even the usually calm Jiu Wuqi couldn't help laughing.
“New season—come on!!”
…
Outside the Main Square, there was a sea of people.
After the LPL finally won their first championship, some young players finally made up their mind to come to the game site to experience the charm of watching the game on the spot.
Online tickets were snapped up by enthusiastic fans almost as soon as they were released.
Players with poor network speeds or payment delays of a few seconds are left wailing.
WE's first show, the first show of the new season for the man who brought back the Summoner's Trophy to our LPL.
Since the last live broadcast, all WE members have suspended all external actions, including ranking, on the grounds of retreat and practice. Poor WE fans can only wait eagerly for the opening of the spring split.
Zeng Ling and his roommates are students from Nanjing University, hundreds of kilometers away, and they made an appointment to watch an LPL game together today.
Before it was time to check in for tickets, a group of four people started strolling around the square.
"Oh, look at that, look at that, I like that piano girl!"
"Hey, do you like Qin Nu? You are obviously blinded by evil. You are a despicable person."
"Damn it, sister, put down your phone before talking if you have the guts."
"Real men always take the initiative to ask for photos. Who would argue with you ugly guys here?"
Before the LPL competition, countless cosplays of League of Legends enthusiasts emerged one after another. Different from the shoddy ones that sell meat, every cosplay was done with great care. It can be said that these young brothers and sisters in front of the LPL competition venue have a very high degree of restoration.
The four of them gradually lost their eyes in the ultra-white weapons and the huge armor.
At this time, the low-key WE base car quietly entered the venue from the passage behind the square. The team leader took the girl who was in charge of the support today and got out of the car first. There were a lot of things to do in the first game. If the players got off
Fans were surprised to see the car and it would be delayed for a long time.
Under normal circumstances, there will be staff from the own club at the entrance to distribute support items to the fans who come from afar. Later, because they still need to put on makeup and prepare for various activities, they originally planned to hang out with the fans outside the venue.
Lin Huan, who was in close contact with her, thought she didn't have enough time, so she had to hand over the small gift she prepared to the staff member.
"It's a pity. I thought I could get to know a few beautiful fans. What will happen after retirement?"
"Young man, I have to say that your ideas are very dangerous. Why are hormones secreted so much during puberty?"
Kandi: "I'm familiar with this. Lao Lin will come with me next time."
Jiuwuqi (staring): "You can try."
"Ahem, Brother Legs, I'm just kidding. With Lin Guangguang's bitch face, it won't happen instantly if he wants to fall in love."
"Fuck you, you are jealous of my handsome face."
…
"Certificate of bravery?"
Zeng Ling and the other two were a little surprised when they looked at the small badges on their hands when checking in.
After hearing the sweet and sweet explanation from Miss WE, the four college students who had not graduated from the second grade of secondary school decisively wore the certificates of the Brave of Light that were kindly presented by Lin Huan.
Yes, plus take photos as a souvenir.
"PS; when I came to the LPL competition site, according to the on-site staff member, Lin Guangguang customized it online and brought it to the competition site in person. Do you believe Guang Guang this time?"
Editing completed, upload!
You don’t need to think about it to know how the circle of friends and the WE fan support group will explode later.
Those who didn't get tickets may regret it until they die.
As time went by, the venue gradually filled up with e-sports fans like Zeng Ling who came from all over the country to watch WE's first show of the new season.
Of course, the largest number of people in the seats are local college students in Shanghai or young people working nearby.
Carrots are placed in each seat like a fill-in-the-blank question, and the four large monitors in the center of the venue are broadcasting WES6's victory.
"Ah, no matter how many times I watch it, my blood boils."
"Hahaha, it's true. Let those LCK bastards look down on our LPL. Who would dare to think of such a scenario before winning the world championship with one wear and three."
"It's a pity that Zero went to North America. I really wanted to see their five defending champions this year."
The surrounding audience discussed in low voices, but the four people who knew more about e-sports shook their heads at the same frequency.
"Defending champion? That's too difficult."
Didn’t you see that LOL has developed to the point where today, only SKT has won two championships in the world? It’s still S3 and S5 that were two years apart. Even Faker was defeated by the LCK team in the second season and even entered the world championship. If you don’t go, what WE, which has won the championship, will naturally face is targeted research from all clubs, including Riot Games.
To be honest, WE was able to maintain 90% of the original team to win the championship, which is enough to surprise fans. It proves that our club still has new ambitions to defend the title in 2017, rather than just making money and languishing.
By winning the first LPL championship, WE gained too much money and also welcomed countless first-year fans of the championship.
But of those fans who came here at their peak, how many will remain if WE fails this year?
No one can tell clearly.
The young man and several roommates looked at each other and smiled. They never left WE during the most difficult time.
How can you be the first to doubt when the light is shining brightly?
"The promotional video has started!"
Someone in the crowd said this, the discussion gradually stopped, and the audience looked up one after another.
After a burst of music accompanied by the collision of gold and iron, the entire picture darkened, and the entire opening appeared blood red.
It should look like an ancient battlefield.
Some players analyzed that the LPL is quite attentive and combines the style of its own competition region.
Sure enough, having money is different.
In the dilapidated battlefield, you can see team flags broken everywhere, including IM, Snake Team, OMG, RNG and EDG.
The detail is that when the camera flashes the team flag, the scenes recorded in advance by the team members and the famous and exciting scenes will also be played accordingly, especially when it is the turn of OMG and EDG.
The dark world seemed to have a glimmer of light.
2014!
2015!
Old fans quickly understood the language of the footage. The footage should refer to OMG's clean sheet against NJ White Shield in the S4 World Finals and EDG's successful 3-2 victory over SKT at the 2015 MSI.
Then, the battlefield zoomed away.
The camera zooms in from a bird's-eye view, and a peak with no summit appears in the frame.
"Targon!"
Players who are familiar with LOL culture directly determine the name of the mountain.
"puff……"
"Is it really okay for the official to end things?"
"Hahaha, I'm laughing so hard. The dirty head is too big."
"If I had to explain, Kai's pot head is the funniest thing."
"A genius plan, I love it."
With the production of special effects of 50 cents, LPL players began the process of climbing the mountain.
Everyone also knows that it symbolizes the highest honor of the S Series.
Gradually, some of the representative heroes of the contestants fell behind or fell in the middle. The last ones to reach the top of the mountain were five young men in red.
Arriving at the top of the peak, the five people jointly raised the championship trophy that symbolized glory, and then light shone from the sky to the earth, implying that the cold winter of LPL had left.
"LPL!"
When the big characters LPL appeared, the scene was filled with colorful lights.
The Grasp of the Immortal was wearing a black suit. He waited until the surrounding environment became a little quieter and then shouted loudly into the microphone.
"Dear League of Legends summoners, how are you?"
"Welcome to the 2017 LPL Spring League competition site, I am today's host Ren Dong!"
"This year, our LPL broke through ourselves and successfully won the long-awaited world championship. The carnival and celebration seemed like yesterday. After a long offseason, the major teams have also changed their looks, and the transfer period is already here.
The smoke is everywhere, now let’s take a look at whether the 12 LPL teams can withstand all the tests in the new season and finally lead the way to the new throne.”
"In the new year, whether the king will defend the title or the new king will ascend the throne, we are looking forward to the performance of the spring game!"
"Now, allow me to announce that the 2017 Spring Split has officially begun!"
There was thunderous applause, and amid flying golden fireworks, the picture was carried to the studio.
The viewers who had been waiting in the live broadcast room could not contain their excitement and directly turned on the land key fairy mode in the barrage.
[Rush, rush, WE rush in the new season!]
[Starch YYDS, the 2017 newcomer Xiao Qi must win the championship. 】
[Hey hey hey, in the first game we met on a narrow road, IM was full of blood and Lin Guangguang came to take revenge.]
[(face covering) I am a fan of the IM team, but I am also a fan of Lin Guangguang. Speaking of which, don’t let the team or a certain player take the blame for the competition system! 】
[Please be merciful, the first show of the new year is coming soon, please give me some face.]
Whether it is unintentional or intentional, more than 60% of the barrages contain words such as WE will inevitably win.
That's right, the new world champion has received a lot of attention and traffic. Victory is inevitable. Losing?
That was the carnival of some teams.
With the access to live broadcast signals, today's two commentators also appeared in the audience's field of vision.
Guan Zeyuan and LPL poet Wang Duoduo appeared in front of everyone with smiles on their face. The bright red Mao suit and the warm-colored border of the live broadcast room definitely looked like a New Year's program.
The original plan was for the Haier brothers to be in charge of this much-anticipated game, but for some special reasons, I don’t know if the director was afraid that Guan Zeyuan would have nothing to do. He congratulated the people of the country on their health on Weibo and directly brought him here.
When I'm commentating on such an important game, I probably won't mess around with it when I'm busy.
"Hello everyone, I am today's commentator Guan Zeyuan!"
"Hello everyone, I am Wang Duoduo."
"Hey, it's not easy. The first game of the new season is actually being narrated by the two of us. It's the first time that I'm a little scared."
"Hey, Zeyuan, please say goodbye. I heard that last month my baby went on a trip and you wished me a good trip." Wang Duoduo said with a smirk on his face.
Danmaku also laughed when he heard this.
Now that the S6 World Championship has just ended, the poisonous milk master of later generations was gradually promoted to the first-tier commentator position after carefully organized players discovered the power of his reverse poisonous milk after a few good games.
[Good guy, I call you a good guy, brother, if you want to go on stage, just say so. I can't help but give it to you. As for milking me? 】
[Miller: Fortunately, I stayed home that day.]
In recent days, a lot of strange messages have been posted on the Internet due to the change of host for the first show. Fans are too lazy to distinguish whether they are real or fake, and have started making jokes one after another.
As a result, Guan Zeyuan wished the baby a safe journey, and in the end, the news that the Haier brothers were unable to appear on stage due to special circumstances spread throughout the country.
"Ahem, let's skip it for now." Before going on stage, the director told us to follow this direction without explaining or admitting it. It's just a joke to get traffic.
Fortunately, the camera showed the players' seats at this time, and Guan Zeyuan found a chance to change the topic.
