"There are so many people!" Ah Shui came to the competition site for the first time and saw the crowds and the atmosphere.
"Definitely." Cake said: "There are many teams participating in the German Cup, and there are many family members of the players and fans of the teams. Of course, the number of people will not be small. Besides, LOL is the most popular game now."
Wushuang's eyes were fixed on the spotlight on the stage, as if he was thinking about something.
"We will also go on stage to play a game in a while. There are many people watching below and they will cheer. Don't be affected by it then." Cake said with a smile.
"Anyway, it is indeed a very exciting stage, and the pressure will be great. After all, there are too many people watching. This is different from ordinary live broadcasts. Real people are shouting below. The feeling is really hard to describe."
Susu became a little nervous just hearing this description. She stuttered and said, "I, I'm so nervous."
"Relax, play well, and they will cheer for us," Chen Lang said.
"As a broadcast team, we may be more famous than some professional players, and support is indispensable."
Most of the audience are basically fans of LPL teams, and fans of secondary league teams will still be generous as long as they don't play against their favorite teams.
Of course, if you play against a team they like, you will definitely not get their support.
Chen Lang is right. Except for the LPL team, the audience may not recognize all the players from other teams. On the contrary, as anchors, many people know them, at least they know the cake.
"Let's go backstage and wait for the game to start. Then the staff will come to remind us to discuss the selection of the lineup first." Cake led the four people into the backstage.
...
All teams participating in the German Cup will compete here. The first ones to compete are the anchor team, the teams from the college league and the city competition.
These teams are considered private teams, and then they compete with LSPL teams, and then LPL teams.
Because it spans three leagues (LPL, LSPL, and City Championship), the strength gap between the teams is relatively large. As the team in the highest league in China, the LPL has the highest average level, so they are sent to the top 16, and their games will start in the next two days.
There are a total of 12 teams in the LPL, so the remaining four teams' promotion quotas are in the middle of the LSPL, City Championship and College League, in order to select the strongest teams to compete with the league teams.
Otherwise, the strength gap between the teams is too big and the viewing experience is not good, while the relatively stronger teams will be closer in level.
Another point is that the LPL is the highest level league. No matter how strong the teams you have seen before are, or they break out, you can clearly see the gap by playing against teams from professional leagues.
Just like watching live broadcasts on weekdays, the anchors are killing everyone in LOL, but if they really play professionally, most professional players can press the anchors to the ground and rub them. This is the gap.
Passers-by and the intensity of the game are completely different levels. There is also a gap between the level of professional league teams and the level of non-professional league teams.
Therefore, it can enhance everyone's awareness of the level of the LPL league, and it is also a platform to showcase the strength of the team to the outside world, thereby attracting some new players to join.
This is also one of the best stages for professional teams to select potential players. After all, except for players from LPL teams, players from LSPL and other leagues are cheaper and may even have no transfer fees (players from college leagues and city competitions).
After all, the people who have made it this far are not bad at all. They have defeated many opponents and experienced a rough sea.
If a new player is spotted by both an LPL team and an LSPL team, isn't it obvious which team the new player will choose?
Who doesn’t want to join a star team, who doesn’t want to join a strong team?
This is also the reason why Abramovich was very confident in inviting Chen Lang and believed that Chen Lang would join EDG.
Because of EDG's high strength, they won two league championships in the past year and achieved the top eight results in the World Championship. Now they are recruiting heavily to fight for the S championship. They can be said to be a super battleship. In this case, there is someone who can
Decline EDG’s invitation?
In the first two days, except for the LPL teams, the other teams took turns to play. There were a total of 28 teams participating. Excluding the 12 LPL teams, there were still 16 teams!
Among them, there are four anchor teams on the four live broadcast platforms, one each in the College League and the City Competition, and the remaining ten teams are all from the LSPL league.
"Here comes the cake!"
Not long after Chen Lang and others entered the lounge, a fat man with a wide body came to their lounge and greeted them with a smile.
"PDD." Cake responded with a smile.
"We are right next door to you, and our four anchor teams are together." PDD said.
"No wonder, as soon as we sat down, you came."
"I came here to say hello to you, let's get to know each other." PDD smiled and greeted everyone.
As the anchor of Penguins, PDD also led the team to break through to the German Cup. The players he led were all his players.
"Hello, Brother Lang. He is so good at playing games and so handsome. What should we do, Ya'er!" PDD greeted Chen Lang.
"Teacher whoring, you are also strong. When the time comes we will be merciful." Chen Lang said with a smile.
"Your team is pretty good-looking. If it's based on looks, I think you can compete with me." ****DD looked at everyone in FTD and said with a smile.
Susu smiled sweetly: "The prostitute teacher is also very charming~"
"What charm do I have?" PDD was praised by Susu, and he scratched his head in embarrassment and giggled.
"If you have money, you will be charming. The most charming time is when you are entertaining guests."
"Haha, aren't you trying to trick me into treating me to dinner?" PDD instantly understood what Susu meant, and waved his hand: "No problem, let's have a meal together tonight."
"Then thank you, Mr. Prostitute." Everyone laughed.
"Here, these are my players. Let me introduce to you, the bottom duo, Ming and Ning." PDD pointed to the players behind him and introduced.
"This is the jungle pony, this kid is the mid laner knight, I play the top laner, and my ability to come here depends entirely on their performance."
Chen Lang looked at the four team members behind PDD with a slightly surprised expression.
Of course, it was not that PDD was shocked that a tall and thick figure was followed by four thin teenagers, which was not at all harmonious, but that they appeared at different times.
"The meaning of your team is great. My original team name was Shenwei Buchu, but then when I saw your team's name and its meaning, I realized that my name was too middle-class, so I changed my name to YM."
"Young Miracles, young miracles." Chen Lang said.
"The meaning is very good."
While everyone was still guessing what the name meant, Chen Lang said it outright.
What surprised Chen Lang was whether it was a coincidence or an accident. Why did YM appear at this time?
Although this is only a team formed by the PDD representative platform and not a professional team, it still somewhat surprised Chen Lang.
"As expected of a student from Zhejiang University, he is really amazing." PDD admired with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
He wanted to show off his mystery, and then when no one could guess it, he would tell it, but Chen Lang saw through it at a glance and stopped him from pretending to be such a fool.
"Old prostitutes are okay, young miracles, for dreams..." Cake said with a smile: "Don't tell me, they are quite similar. In fact, the original intention is that the world belongs to young people."
PDD nodded: "Yes, although we are not old, we are already considered old players in the game of LOL, and the future belongs to them."
Cake deeply agrees. When he was first doing live broadcasting in YY, he also played in games. Now looking back on those years, he still has longing in his heart, but his strength no longer allows him to embark on a professional path.
The past few days of fighting side by side with Chen Lang and others have allowed Cake to see the abilities of the three of them. Coupled with his understanding of the three of them, he emotionally and rationally hopes that the other person can embark on a career path, so he did it during the dinner party yesterday.
Saying those words allowed the three of them to perform on this stage to their heart's content.
"They are all people from my studio. They have great potential. Every player is hard-earned." When PDD talked about several team members, there was a look of joy on his face.
"This kid holds the mouse in his left hand and always crosses his left and right hands when playing games. I discovered him when he reached the King Division. He has great talent and potential."
The first person to talk about is Zhuo Ding. He also talked about his situation. Cake looked particularly surprised. This is the first time I have seen him playing a game with his left hand. It is very difficult to play with crossed hands. He is really strong to be able to beat the king.
.
"These two are even funnier."
Speaking of the duo in the bottom lane, PDD had a smile on his face, while Ning and Ming looked embarrassed, especially Ming's fair face, which had a few wisps of blush, making him look shy.
"When I took a fancy to them, an LSPL team also took a fancy to them, and then they took Ning over first. Ning later wanted to leave, but they wouldn't let him go. I had to teach him a way, and the other party let him go.
With him, the bottom lane group was able to reunite without being broken up."
Cake and others looked at PDD curiously, wanting to know what the solution was.
"I asked Ning to pretend to be gay and say that he and the support were a couple. Then when the people from the team found out, they let him go..."
"..."
Several people were stunned, and then burst into laughter.
This is really a twist and turn, no wonder Ming blushes, no one else has experienced this.
Cake gave a thumbs up and praised: "You are such a talent, so cool!"
"Hehe~"
PDD laughed like a pig, and he also felt that he was very smart in not letting this pair of bottom laners, who had a tacit understanding of each other, part ways.
"I think you are the strongest opponent, and I look forward to playing against you." PDD said:
"Maoya Wuhu God and Guanren Hero are much easier to deal with once they are banned. The main reason is that you are difficult to beat, and our mid laner is very strong. I think he is not inferior to Brother Lang. He may be a little behind at this stage, but he is young.
There will be great growth potential in the future.”
Chen Lang said: "Yes, he is much younger than me and has huge potential."
Knowing the answer, he naturally knew that Knight would indeed grow into the top mid laner in the LPL in the future and would be very strong.
But at this time, PDD could see Knight's potential. It must be said that PDD has a very vicious vision.
"Speaking of age, knight and JackeyLove are about the same age. They are both 15 years old this year." PDD smiled when he saw JackeyLove.
JackeyLove, one of the top ten genius ADs in the Chinese server, is well-known. After all, being able to rank among the top ten in the Chinese server among many anchors and professional players is a terrifying strength.
The most important thing is that he is still very young. It is said that some teams are already observing this player. If it were not for his age, they would directly recruit him.
"Today's young people are getting stronger and stronger, and heroes are born in young people!" As contemporaries, Cake and PDD couldn't help but sigh.
JackeyLove and knight glanced at each other, obviously neither of them expected that the other person was as young as themselves.
But for Knight, JackeyLove is the same age as him, but he is already one of the top ten thousand-point champions in the national server. He can't do it himself, and the other party is obviously stronger than him, which makes him secretly determined to continue working hard.
Let the strength go further!
"Everyone, let's cheer together. See you on the field." After chatting for a while, PDD took the team members back.
After several anchor teams arrived, everyone met each other, especially Chen Lang, who received the most attention.
There is no way, he is so outstanding in the ranking, many people are very curious about Chen Lang and want to come and see him in person, and then they are all impressed by his handsomeness.
As anchors, they all used beautification cameras, so they looked more handsome than usual during the live broadcast. They thought Chen Lang also used beautification, but they didn't know what it meant to be handsome until they saw it in person, and they felt ashamed of themselves.
The competition outside has begun. The first two teams to face off are the champions of the City Championship and the champions of the College League.
The strength of both sides is relatively close, which also shows that the strength of the private team is not as bad as imagined. After all, those who can reach this point are not too weak.
In the end, the team from the City Contest won the game.
"Next is the anchor team, YM vs. MY team."
MY is the team of Wuhu Gods. Because they are the anchors of Maoya, they directly used the abbreviation of MY as the team name.
YM directly banned the cards, Syndra and Weapon Master, targeting the middle and top two, who are also the two strongest in MY.
Without cards and weapons, MY's rhythm was not as strong. In the end, YM won the game in 34 minutes.
Next is the match between FTD and HM (Fire Cat). The anchor team goes first, which can ignite the atmosphere at the scene and in many live broadcast rooms. After all, everyone basically knows these anchors.
FTD was faster, completely suppressing the opponent, and the jungler was unparalleled. Mid laner Chen Lang and AD Ah Shui performed extremely well. The audience cheered continuously and applauded their operations.
We played a few more games, and the fights were back and forth.
"Next, it's the showdown between FTD and YM!"
These two teams are also considered to be the two strongest teams among the four anchor teams, mainly because they have no obvious weaknesses.
It cannot be said that there are no obvious weaknesses, but it is relatively difficult to target. Unlike Wuhu Shen and Guan Ren, other heroes will not be as powerful after being banned.
"Knight players are not bad at laning, but they get lost in the mid-term. Maybe due to the pressure on the scene, they don't dare to play, and they don't have much confidence."
Before playing, Chen Lang analyzed YM's team situation.
"PDD is a veteran in the top lane. If the jungler is not there, he will not be very aggressive. It is easy to judge whether the jungler is in the top lane. If he is playing very fiercely, it means that the jungler is in the upper half of the jungle and may provide support at any time.
.”
"As a jungler, I like to help the mid and top more. When the time comes, I can hide in the mid and top to take a look at the field of vision, and then the opponent's bottom lane will be very aggressive, which can be used as a breakthrough."
After watching several YM games, Chen Lang summarized what he has seen so far.
the other side.
PDD's lounge.
"Come on, everyone, give FTD a good fight. We all think they are the strongest, let's overthrow them!" PDD encouraged his teammates.
Xiao Ma said: "Play more aggressively, I will try to catch as many as possible, and then it's knight. Play more aggressively in the middle. Don't be afraid to operate. If you see me in the river, just hit me casually."
"Okay." Knight clasped his hands together and answered in a low voice with his head lowered, looking extremely unconfident.
Ning said loudly: "Come and catch me in the bottom lane. The opponent's bottom lane is no match for me, let alone a girl group."
"Ming and I will definitely defeat them. The jungler and bot lane can jump over the tower, but the opposite bot lane will definitely be timid. With this help, I will be C!"
Ning is very confident, as if he has nailed FTD's bottom lane combination.
PDD is also a bit of a headache because the personalities of these children are so different.
Ming and Knight both have introverted personalities, Pony is moderate, but Ning has a bold personality, and he is extremely confident. He often does things above others and always feels that he is invincible.
Therefore, his playing style also forced YM to focus on the bottom lane many times. He played too aggressively and was easily targeted and exploded.
Knight's skills are very good, but he is not confident and has a bad mentality. Ning is too confident. If he can give half of Ning's confidence to Knight, PDD feels that Knight's skills can be improved to a higher level!
Ning's self-confidence exceeds that of anyone else. He also feels that he is invincible. There is no opponent in the bottom lane. He often inexplicably hits two and sends one wave away, thinking that he is invincible...
But fortunately, it is precisely because Ning is in the team that there will be no silence on the microphone. Ning will keep talking and will not play like a mess. Anyway, just help the bottom lane, which keeps calling them.
The two sides were still having their final exchanges. After a while, the staff called them on stage. The two sides met in the aisle of the stage, and everyone smiled and gestured.
Ning's eyes looked at JackeyLove with such aggression that he was going to blow him up.
JackeyLove was dumbfounded by Ning's gaze, and thought to herself, maybe this is really GAY, don't fucking fall in love with your buddy!
I want to remind Ming to be careful. JackeyLove and Ming have known each other for a long time. The two often play ranked together and are members of the Seven Wolves of Ionia.
Next, one team will go on stage to greet the audience. After the two teams appear, the game will officially begin.
