Girls' Generation was once South Korea's most popular national girl group. Even though times have changed and Girls are no longer girls, the popular members of this group can still be successful in the Korean entertainment industry if taken individually.
Although KG is somewhat well-known in South Korea, under the exaggeration of Korean media, this popularity is more like a "full name public enemy", and everyone is waiting to kill them and restore the glory of LCK.
At this time, when Li Xiufeng and the others got off the plane, they happened to meet Girls' Generation who was on the same flight next door. It was inevitable to be ignored - the otaku always asked for a girlfriend in e-sports, so they met a beautiful girl with vitality.
For the promise of his life, he might be able to eat the game console alive on the spot.
"Let's go, stop looking."
Coach Han Yunlong said with a smile, "It will be different when we go back."
After hearing Han Yunlong's words, several people were shocked. At this time, they suddenly heard a clear and sweet voice from a girl next door.
"Phoenix! Peak...Fengpot!"
Hearing the sound, everyone in KG stopped and Li Xiufeng also turned around.
Among the group of girls arriving next door with trolley bags, suddenly there was a slim girl with blonde hair who took off her sunglasses and looked in their direction with a look of surprise on her face.
What's going on?
Everyone's eyes were stunned.
Kake's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Li Xiufeng's sculpturally handsome profile with some disbelief. Damn it, could this sex king still hold a cup in Korea?
In the international lobby, the exits on both sides are not far apart.
, the blonde girl handed the suitcase to the assistant next to her and ran over in a few steps on her high heels.
Um?
Li Xiufeng looked at the other person a little confused. He really didn't know him. He looked at his teammates left and right, and finally turned to look at the other person with delicate makeup and a slightly excited face.
"Hello, are you calling me?"
"Uh-huh."
The girl nodded and said in relatively jerky Chinese, "Like, Feng Guo, Hao likes to beat you in the competition, Wo... Wo is your fan, can you sign your autograph for me?"
really!
Kake on the side looked up at the sky.
Fans who arrived in the open space outside the hall were stunned, while various Korean entertainment paparazzi raised their cameras and flashed their flashlights incessantly.
Are members of the national girl group chasing stars?
This is big news!
And looking at the other person's delicate features...wait, why does he look familiar?
Li Xiufeng has always treated girls equally. Even if the girl seems to be a beautiful Korean artist, he still nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, have you brought pen and paper?"
"Ah?! It seems... I brought it with me"
The girl was stunned for a moment, then turned around happily and waved to the assistant.
The little assistant, who was thinking about how to go back and explain to the company, felt miserable, but he couldn't afford to offend anyone, so he ran over and offered him pen and paper.
Behind him, other members of the female group who were waiting there looked at Li Xiufeng curiously and whispered among themselves.
"Taeyeon? Is this Phoenix?"
"Hey! He seems really handsome!"
"If you were in Korea, you would definitely meet a talent scout while shopping, right?"
"..."
Li Xiufeng looked at the other party, took the signature book, and scrawled his ID.
Taking into account the identity of the other artist, the blessing said something like wishing the work a great sale.
Before closing the pen cap, he glanced at the other person and asked with a smile, "Do I need to add your name?"
"Yoona! It's enough to call me Yoona."
"Okay." Li Xiufeng nodded and added the other person's name, then returned the pen and paper together.
"Crab peak pot! Show it off!"
"Well, bye."
The girl looked at the signature happily and took a few steps back. When she turned to leave, she suddenly turned her head again with a naughty smile on her face.
"It's not a show off, it's just a mistake."
After saying that, she and her assistants returned to the other girls who were traveling with them.
See you next time?
Li Xiufeng was a little puzzled.
Somewhat confused, he turned to look at a few teammates, only to find that their eyes were red with envy and jealousy. They opened their mouths but still didn't ask.
...
After arriving in South Korea this time, KG and his team did not check into the hotel casually. They first went to meet with the leaders of the General Administration of Sports of China. After all, this event was different from the past.
The leader is a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing glasses, who looks like Kake ten years in the future. He speaks slowly and logically, but has a good temper and attitude. He first emphasizes discipline.
After all, the performance events of the Olympic Games are different from MSI. Although they are all world championships within a year, KG's competition this time belongs to the national team and represents the image of China. You must pay attention to the standards of words and deeds and abide by disciplines and relevant regulations.
.
Then the usual pre-game trash talk will no longer work.
It’s not that you’re not allowed to talk trash, but you can’t talk too much, otherwise you may be punished.
Regarding this, everyone at KG also understands that Li Xiufeng even feels that this rule has no impact on him at all. Anyway, he has always been cautious in his words and deeds, and never talks trash before a competition.
After announcing the relevant disciplines, the next step is to arrange the accommodation.
They were with the athletes this time, and the General Administration of Sports also prepared special uniforms for them - it is definitely impossible to wear club uniforms when representing the country in the Olympics.
In the hotel lobby in the center of Incheon, Li Xiufeng also saw some well-known national athletes, and they seemed to know him. They smiled and nodded when they saw each other far away.
This time the Olympic eSports competition is different from the past five MSI divisions plus wild card teams. There are still many participating countries.
Except for some small countries or countries in war that have not declared e-sports projects, even Iceland, which has a population of only 300,000, has teams participating, not to mention South Korea and Japan, which are next door to China.
It is conceivable that in the initial group stage, the quality of the teams varied greatly. Teams such as China and South Korea, which themselves belong to the five major competition regions, would probably be a massacre.
After arriving in South Korea, KG not only adapted to the diet, but also conducted a few days of training.
In the past few days, KG's incident of encountering Girls' Generation when he came out of Incheon Airport in South Korea on the day he arrived has also been spreading on Korean and domestic networks.
Korean Net has a relatively consistent attitude towards this.
That's outrage.
Extremely indignant!
You know, South Korea is a developed country in the tertiary industry. It entertains people to death. Countless young people pursue one after another Hallyu idols and regard them as an honor to sweep across Asia and the world.
But now, their idol girl group actually has a fan following of a Chinese player.
Moreover, he is a man that countless young people who love e-sports regard as their imaginary enemy and vow to defeat him.
This is a betrayal of Korea!
It has to be said that Koreans are still a bit twisted in character and have strong nationalism. Boycotting Japanese products can close one of Japan's largest clothing chain brand stores.
In contrast, China's domestic Internet attitude towards this is more complicated.
There are those who envy them. After all, when Girls' Generation took Asia by storm, they also took China by storm. There are still a lot of domestic girl group fans, and most of them are men who are in their third year.
There is also a bit of pride. When Brother Feng arrived in Korea, a girl group defected. This shows that the motherland is strong and Brother Feng is excellent.
Of course, there is always the yin and yang that is indispensable. These netizens are running around the Internet, warning everyone that this is temptation. In order to win, Koreans will not break their hands and use honey traps as soon as they come up. They categorically say that the old boy Feng Gou
Designated to be unable to resist temptation.
impossible!
In the Olympic commentary team, Xi Tong read the news on the Internet and said angrily to Yu Shuang, who lived in the same room, "Do these people seem stupid? Are they that slanderous?"
"My good sister, why are you so anxious?" In front of the makeup mirror, Yu Shuang glanced sideways with a smile.
Xitong choked and whispered, "Brother Feng is not that kind of person."
Yu Shuang glanced at her with a smile, "How do you know you're not that kind of person?"
"Because...he doesn't seem to be in the mood for a relationship." Xitong said.
Yu Shuang's face showed a smile of someone who had come before, and she forgot to look at the night view of Incheon outside the hotel on the 18th floor.
She crossed one of her legs and said quietly, "Man, you still don't understand. Some people claim to be indifferent to women, but when they really meet someone they are attracted to, they can turn into a womanizer in no time."
Xitong was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Yu Shuang suspiciously for a few times. Her mind was a little confused?
Do men still say this?
...
At the same time, the Korean team DWG, who were staying in the same hotel, were also gearing up. They were excited and excited, waiting for a big fight. The slogan they had been shouting for a season was finally coming true.
In fact, the DWG team is somewhat legendary.
They were formerly an Internet cafe team, which is relatively rare in South Korea, which has a developed and complete e-sports system. It can only be said that they are really poor and not favored, and they cannot attract sponsors.
However, the next development shocked countless people.
This Internet cafe team first won a spot in the CKR sub-league, and then won ten consecutive victories in the Korean Challenge Summer League.
In the end, they won the regular season championship with an impressive record of 13 wins and 1 loss, and directly entered the LCK promotion and relegation tournament.
In the LCK promotion and relegation match, DWG swept BBQ 2:0 and crushed BTC 3:0. They got tickets for the LCK Spring Split and officially started their journey to the LCK.
After that, in just one year, DWG won the LCK spring championship and entered the world stage.
Not to mention, if South Korea considers making any e-sports-themed movies, then DWG can be said to be the protagonist team, with a natural and powerful aura.
There is no doubt that SKT, SSW, KT and the man named Faker are all responsible for LCK's past dominance.
But if it were really in the movie, if there was any team that could revive the glory of the LCK, it would probably be DWM.
It may not be easy for them to win, but according to the "law of the weak protagonist who cannot be killed".
Victory will eventually belong to DWG, and everyone at DWG firmly believes in this!
Not only that, in order to achieve this goal, South Korea's Sports General Administration has also made great efforts. After all, South Korea's tertiary industry has always been that e-sports and entertainment are two parallel carriages, so they are bound to win this world championship.
Taking advantage of the host country's convenience, the Korean Sports Bureau directly issued a document, allowing the two major Galaxy battleships KT and SKT, who were defeated by DWM, a dark horse, in the spring playoffs, to take turns working as sandbags for DWG every day.
Obviously, this is to forcefully "feed" a world champion.
In contrast, although KG also arranges training matches with domestic teams, it does not have such convenience and intensity.
...
The days are passing by, and the Olympic e-sports performance competition is gradually approaching.
The venue for this finals is the Munhak Open Air Stadium in Incheon, South Korea, but the group matches before this were held in smaller stadiums.
After all, this is different from the MSI World Championship. There are a total of 48 participating teams in the e-sports exhibition competition of the Olympic Games. This may not be anything compared to the more than 200 participating countries and regions in the Olympic Games itself, but compared to the usual number of
E-sports is different when sixteen teams compete in the World Championship, and the competition system has also been changed.
There is no way. Needless to say, there are big countries like China, South Korea, Japan, France, the United Kingdom and the United Kingdom in these teams. Almost every team has ace players from the five major competition regions.
But in some small countries, such as Somalia and Cambodia, some players even have gold ranks at most.
If there is really a double round-robin in the group stage, and two weeks have passed, and then there are B03 and B05 games, then it is estimated that the e-sports exhibition games have not ended after the Olympics, and the quality of the games is not good. It is a pure waste of the audience's emotions.
Through exchanges and consultations with the World E-Sports Association, people from the Olympic Organizing Committee and the Olympic Committee decided that all group matches will adopt the B01 format and be divided into sixteen groups.
Each group can qualify only by defeating the other two teams as the top team. After completing the group stage within three days, they will first eliminate a wave and reach the top 16.
What?
Not in good condition to lose?
Isn't that your real strength?
If you lose, you are inferior in skill!
KG's luck was neither too bad nor too good. In the group stage, they were drawn against Denmark and Japan.
Many people may not be familiar with Denmark. Denmark is one of the four Nordic countries. Many players who play in the North American and European LCS regions are from Denmark, a small country with only 5.5 million people.
For example, G2's top laner Wudner, SPY's jungler Trashy, TSM's mid laner Bjergsen, and C9's mid laner Jensen. Some people even joked that Denmark has contracted the LCS finals.
This year, Denmark's dream team is top laner Wunder, jungler Trashy, mid laner Bjergsen, and bottom laner Zven and Deficio.
As for the Japanese team, yes, they were selected from last year’s Japanese DFM.
There is no way, there are really not many teams in Japan that can play, but this year the jungler has been replaced.
On the morning of the group stage, at the hotel entrance, a group of people from the Japanese e-sports team walked out of the hotel.
However, these people did not get on the bus immediately. Instead, they stood in a row beside the car outside the hotel, all looking intently, as if waiting for some call.
After a while, a young man wearing glasses, with his hair neatly combed, and looking somewhat polite came out in a formal suit - he was the coach of the Japanese team this time, Sakata Miryū.
Walking in front of a few people, Sakata Yuryu pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, his sharp eyes swept over the faces of the six young team members, and he cleared his throat with a dry cough.
"Mina-san! This year is our first battle on the world stage. Show your momentum and let's start the roll call."
After speaking, he took out the shorthand notebook in his pocket.
"Hokkaido Falcon!"
"arrive!"
"The most ferocious tiger in Aichi Prefecture!"
"exist!"
"Akihabara Demon Dragon!"
"arrive!"
"Fox of Yuzhou!"
"exist!"
"The...Lion of Kyoto!!!"
"exist!!!"
"..."
As soon as one o'clock arrives, the voice is loud and exciting!
At the door, KG and his group, who had just finished breakfast and were about to get in the car, had their mouths twitching. People were already dumbfounded.
