On the evening of July 19th, Zurich local time, the Chinese team, which won the game, was finally able to get a solid sleep.
Even Ye Xiu was spared from being woken up by a phone call at five in the morning - this was thanks to Yu Wenzhou, the captain of Blue Rain who was very good at public speaking. He said at the press conference, "Tang Hao's home team Roar is based in Nanjing."
It can be said that God will kill God if he blocks it, and Buddha will kill Buddha if he blocks Buddha. It is an excellent shield against possible attacks and malice from the outside world.
The top is the General Administration of Sports, the bottom is tens of millions of fans, and the bottom is journalists from various countries; even officials from the General Administration who are afraid of being scolded by their superiors for "allowing the players to deliberately incite hatred" face such a player who was born in Nanjing...
Nothing can be said.
At eight o'clock in the morning, when Ye Xiu woke up and had breakfast, the players from the national team and the sparring group were already reading the newly released e-sports weekly report in twos and threes.
E-Sports Weekly is a newspaper published by E-Sports House, the most authoritative print media in the domestic e-Sports circle. It is published twice a week, on Mondays and Thursdays, and reports news on all domestic and foreign e-Sports circles. Note, that is during normal times.
In order to fit in with the rhythm of the World Invitational Group Stage, the e-sports weekly newspaper specially published an extra number. The results of last night's game were published this morning, and the international flights were sent all the way to Zurich, where they were placed in the restaurant for the players to read.
——
This is of course impossible.
The fact is that the editors and reporters of the e-sports weekly newspaper stay up late watching games, staying up late writing articles, staying up late reviewing manuscripts, proofreading and typesetting, and staying up late printing and publishing - at the same time, they send an electronic file to Zurich and ask the league's publicity staff to help print dozens of copies.
, so that players can enjoy watching it when they wake up in the morning.
Since national team players have to print documents on a daily basis anyway, they might as well spend a little more to sponsor the league and rent a high-end color printer.
Speaking of last night's game, there were many exciting scenes and quite a lot of jokes worth writing about. However, the front page of the e-sports weekly newspaper, which took up half of the page, was a colorful picture——
On the Dadu River with iron ropes across the sky, Tang San's body was splashed with blood, he rushed to the front, bent down and put down the wooden plank;
Mu Yuchengfeng bowed slightly behind him, holding the cannon mounted on the stable gun mount with both hands. Flames and blood stains were intertwined on the heavy armor. Her long hair was flying, and the tips were scorched black, and her gaze ahead was firm and intense;
Fengcheng Yanyu stood high at the end, with the fire bird at the top of the staff robbing the wind, fluttering its wings and ready to fly, like a red flag hunting!
This picture has never actually appeared, but every scene is taken from the scene of yesterday's arena match. The producer was obviously excited about yesterday's match. In addition to the p-picture, he also made careful modifications to the details, some of which
The place even went so far as to repaint.
The brush strokes are like oil paintings, and the composition of the famous "Flying to the Luding Bridge" is familiar to everyone in primary school textbooks. The succession, persistence and sacrifice of the three contestants are vividly displayed in the picture.
A line of headlines at the top of the picture:
Fight for the country!
Such goodwill was naturally rewarded. During the lunch break that day, the reporter from E-Sports Home walked into the hotel where the national team lived as he wished, carrying the reviewed interview outline.
The first exclusive interview with the national team since they went abroad.
——And because of his performance at yesterday's press conference, Tang Hao, who occupied half of the second page of yesterday's newspaper, was naturally carried into the small conference room by the team leader and captain, and was interviewed together.
"How would you rate Tang Hao's performance yesterday?"
Facing the reporter's question, the leader took out a cigarette. After getting the reporter's permission, he lit it and took a puff:
"Tang Hao performed very well yesterday. He made a very good tactical choice, which can be said to have laid the foundation for victory in the entire arena match."
"Why did you choose to fight like this?" The reporter's second question immediately turned to Tang Hao: "It is really as the online comments said, it is out of the patriotic education that has always been there and following the footsteps of the martyrs.
?"
"This..." Tang Hao scratched his head. He frowned and carefully recalled the decision-making process at that time. Finally, he shook his head: "I didn't think so much. In short, when I saw that map, I just
I think we should fight like that.”
"..." The first question was a bad start. The reporter was so disappointed that he almost collapsed, but he still struggled and tried to save the topic:
"So, was the choice made at that time more based on tactical considerations, or was it more based on emotional considerations?"
"How can you have so much time to think about it? Just glance at it and get on with it."
Ye Xiu laughed silently beside him. The media always watch the excitement and don't take it too seriously, and often over-interpret the actions of the players. But they met a guy like Tang Hao who relied more on intuition than reason, and didn't speak without turning around.
, it’s really depressing.
"After you finished the game yesterday, you bowed to the audience. What was your mood at that time?"
"Very touched." When this topic was mentioned, not only Tang Hao, but also Ye Xiu and Yu Wenzhou, who were not asked, also straightened their expressions:
"We... this was the first time that we had the feeling of 'fighting for the country.' At that time, we really fought like that, and we came out and heard the whole audience singing..."
He paused and looked up to the sky, as if he was thinking about how to summarize his mood at that moment. He struggled again and again, and finally what he said was still just four simple words:
"Thank you so much!"
"Yes." Seeing that Tang Hao was choked by his own emotions, Yu Wenzhou calmly sat next to him and took over the conversation:
"We e-sports players have always fought with the support of the fans of the team and the support of the city where the team is located. We are very grateful to the World Invitational for giving us the opportunity to fight for the country. We will remember it for the rest of our lives.
The touching experience gained here..."
Yu Wenzhou spoke solemnly and sincerely. Although Ye Xiu did not interrupt, he sat upright, calmed down his expression, and tried to make a good background.
To be honest, he really hates talking about these scenes. For so many years, he has always played games for the victory itself. What's wrong with watching game videos and studying tactics if you have this time? If it doesn't work, you can go for a walk by the lake to relax your nerves.
, why bother wasting time with reporters here.
But...can't.
They are the national team.
It is the first national team of the China Glory League to go global.
Expanding the influence of the national team and establishing a positive image of the e-sports industry is their unshirkable responsibility as pioneers.
Therefore, even if the schedule is tight, they must choose this opportunity. This is the opportunity to win the game and promote their patriotism on the Internet. They must arrange exclusive interviews with friendly media and consciously guide outside comments.
There will be many storms in the future. If you can rely more in the direction of patriotism and positive energy, you can block unnecessary malice and attacks for the future e-sports circle.
As a senior, you should fight for those who come after you.
