The venue for the Olympic esports finals is different from the small venues used in previous games. This time the game was held at the Munhak Open-air Stadium in Incheon, South Korea.
Speaking of Munhak Stadium, many fans who love watching the World Cup may know that this stadium is located at the foot of Munhak Mountain, the birthplace of Incheon.
Once one of the main venues for the 2002 World Cup, it has now become a monumental building symbolizing the World Cup in Incheon and South Korea.
When Li Xiufeng and his party arrived at the gymnasium, they saw the appearance of the huge and unique gymnasium from a distance, and couldn't help but smack their lips at the steamed dumplings at the back.
"Is this the roc spreading its wings?"
"No, this is a crow flying."
Ah Shui answered somewhat coquettishly.
The two people said this for a reason. The design of Munhak Stadium in Incheon is really unique. It is said that the designer was inspired by the image of a sailboat sailing out to sea. The ceiling shaped like sails and masts is in harmony with the ridges of the earth.
The structure looks well-proportioned and dynamic.
In addition, in order to emphasize the beauty of curves, which seems to be the popular trend of Korean girl groups, Munhak Stadium minimizes the use of steel and adopts a pure cable structure, which is full of curves. People can't help but think of Kake's round and tight lines.
.
That's right, when Li Xiufeng and his team arrived at the scene, the Weibo post he posted before going out was already on the hot search. But unexpectedly, the hot search had nothing to do with Li Xiufeng. The hot search term was actually [Brother K]
Buttocks].
In the comments below, most of the female fans praised him with shining eyes. It turns out that Brother K is KG’s buried treasure. Thanks to Brother Feng for taking the photos, not letting the treasure become dusty, and allowing the majority of female fans to not regret leaving the pearl.
Li Xiufeng's words of "I prefer the library to the gymnasium" were drowned out by these hot discussions, and for the time being few people were able to appreciate the taste of it.
The first thing I noticed on the road was Xiao Long Bao who liked to play with his mobile phone. He looked at Kake who was sitting in the passenger seat with a strange expression and wore gold-rimmed glasses and a gentle face.
So he looked at Ah Shui next to him.
After Ah Shui read it, everyone in the car knew it, except Kake, who was sitting in the passenger seat.
He was looking deeply at the rapidly passing scenery outside the window, with a literary and artistic look on his face as he was about to wander far away.
Ah Shui looked at the photo on the screen and came over to give a thumbs up.
"I admire you, Teacher Feng. This picture is amazing. Even a DSLR may not be able to capture the effect of your front camera."
Li Xiufeng smiled brightly and pretended to be cooperative, "What's wrong with the phone? Those who only play with equipment will never understand the realm of photography."
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the back seat of the car was shocked.
Kake in the front noticed that there was no sound from behind, and turned around and asked with a smile, "What's the matter, everyone, is there anything fun you can do?"
Kake didn't ask further. It was too low for a mature man to do that. He just smiled and shook his head, looking like "you little naughty guys."
A moment later, a black Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle drove into the internal parking lot of Munhak Stadium in Incheon.
When I got off the bus, another commercial vehicle of the same model drove in behind me.
"Is our opponent coming today?"
Kake squinted his eyes. After getting out of the car, he put his hand on the passenger door. He looked very much like the aloof CEO in the pictorial.
But soon, the car behind stopped and the middle door opened. The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a pair of long, fair and smooth legs, and then several lively and excited girls jumped out one after another.
When they saw Li Xiufeng and others not far away, several girls suddenly became quiet. They all looked at one of the girls who was tall, had a delicate face, and had her hair tied into a bun behind her head, and nudged her a little.
Nudge laughed.
Upon seeing this, Kake immediately let go of his hand on the car door, straightened his appearance, and coughed dryly.
He looked into the distance, but with his peripheral vision he looked at a girl walking from the opposite side.
About to be hit on?
Wait, why does it look familiar?
At this time, the girl had walked straight to Li Xiufeng, and bowed down to say hello in a very graceful manner, "Anihasay, Nihao, Feng...pigeon!"
Halfway through her words, she switched to Chinese, which she was not very proficient in. After she finished speaking, she covered her mouth in embarrassment and laughed.
"Do you remember that the nest is for sleeping?"
"Yoona?"
"Wow, that's great."
The other person gave a thumbs up excitedly.
"Why are you here?"
"Performance, we have a performance today."
"Oh, look forward to it, come on."

"Kang Sang Mida, crab mud."
The two chatted for a while, and Li Xiufeng also knew what Yoona meant when she said "see you next time" at the airport last time.
Without keeping others waiting, Yoona waved her hands with a smile after saying this and trotted back to her team.
Before leaving, she turned back to Li Xiufeng and others and made a "Fighting" gesture with a fist.
"Is it really good that she cheers us on?"
"Tsk, tsk, Koreans rely on girl groups to save the country. I'm afraid it won't be easy to do it when you meet Brother Feng."
"Don't talk about women's groups, men's groups are not good at it."
"That's hard to say, right...Brother K?"
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
Kake suddenly frowned. He was a sensitive man, and it felt like these people in the car were laughing so gay.
"Nothing, nothing." Ah Shui said perfunctorily.
"Let's go quickly, I still want to watch the opening ceremony." Xiao Long Bao also urged.
After saying that, the two people who worked together quickly ran away.
Seeing this, Kake had no choice but to follow with Li Xiufeng and others who kept laughing.
...
Munhak Stadium in Incheon is a large stadium that can accommodate more than 50,000 spectators to watch the game at the same time. Now it is already full before the game starts and the crowds are loud.
Some of these people are Olympic spectators from all over the world, some are e-sports fans, and some are fans of Girls' Generation girl group who came specifically to watch the performance at the opening ceremony. These people are as enthusiastic as those e-sports fans, and everyone has a
Wearing various girly pink glow sticks.
It has to be said that even though the girls are no longer girls now, they no longer have the youthfulness of the past.
But before the game, last year's new song "Holiday" was performed. The cheerful and bright rhythm and the sultry and sexy dance posture immediately ignited the atmosphere of the scene. The Korean otakus in the front row danced wildly with the light sticks in their hands.
After the performance, commentators from various countries also appeared on camera to broadcast the event in real time.
"Hello everyone, I am the commentator Wawa."
"I'm the commentator Miller."
"I'm Xitong, hello everyone."
On the Huaxia commentary desk, the commentary team also sent three generals to commentate on today's upcoming game.
Wawa and Mi Le are dressed in Tang suits, and Xi Tong's cheongsam also outlines her graceful figure.
"Today's game is something that everyone has been looking forward to for a long time. It is really not easy for the Chinese team to defeat so many opponents along the way and reach this position." Mi Le said with some emotion.
"That's right, some people say that there is a curse on the championship. The teams that have won the S championship in the past years will become rich."
When Wawa said this, a surge of pride suddenly surged in his heart, "But I don't believe it anymore, so this Olympic Games is also the time for us to prove ourselves again."
"That's right, higher, faster, and stronger. This also applies to our e-sports." Yutong said evenly, "I hope our players can not only perform well when facing players from the Korean team today.
With his own strength, he can still create a different version of himself.”
The competitions in the Olympic Games are quite serious, and putting a pre-game performance by the women's team in front is the limit. But when the actual competition started, there was no ink at all. The big screen above the stage quickly entered the competition interface.
BO5 first game.
China is on the blue side and South Korea is on the purple side.
The Chinese team did not ban randomly in this game. Heroes that the other team was relatively good at, such as Kamil and Ka Kao, were given the ban position. Correspondingly, Li Xiufeng's Jess and Sword Princess also gained "respect".
Riven doesn't have a ban. Times have changed. In this version of the game, few people dare to ban Riven.
It's okay if you really have to force it. After all, Nuguri feels that facing Riven is much less stressful than facing other heroes.
"Let's see what hero the blue side KG will choose first... Oh! Male Spear, Xiao Long Bao still prefers this hero. He has used it many times from the quarter-finals to the semi-finals of the top four.
"
"Well, I think there's nothing to be afraid of, mainly, this hero. It means that if I choose it, I can fight whatever you want, eh, that's very comfortable."
"That's right, let's take a look at the Korean team's first two moves...oh, Japanese women and EZ?"
"Japanese girl is BeryL's best hero. According to statistics, he is the best roaming support in the LCK this spring. There is no other support. This one shows off his signature right from the start."
"Haha, it seems that behind every roaming support there is an ADC who places orders. Ghost's little yellow hand is very skilled..."
Indeed, the 21-year-old Ghost broke into the professional competition three years ago. He was not a founding member of DWG, but a newcomer who only joined DWG during the transfer period last year.
Ghost is the kind of player who doesn't have many advantages or disadvantages, but with the training of his assistant BeryL, his tower sword skills have become increasingly profound.
"It's okay to give the counter position to the mid laner," DWG coach Jin Youshan said.
He thought of the information sent back from the girl group members who were sent to investigate two days ago. The results were all "what time does Brother Feng go to bed, what does he usually like to eat, what colors do he like" and the like, and he couldn't help but feel a headache.
Am I going to chase stars?
Xu Xiu Showmaker can be said to be the most dazzling talented mid laner in the LCK this year. He was once called the backbone of the mid laner in the post-Faker era by Korean media. No one really has any objections to giving him the Kang special position.
Top laner Nuguri doesn't have much thought about this.
In fact, in terms of status, Niu Bao is almost the same as Xu Xiu in the team.
He is one of the founding members of DWG. He has shown his dominance from the secondary leagues, and continued his dominance after being promoted to LCK. He was once called South Korea's "Little Theshine".
Many Chinese viewers who love watching LCK games are also deeply impressed by this radical player.
But they usually call him the Korean "Xiao Feng Dog", after all, his style is very similar to Li Xiufeng.
However, whether it is "Little Theshine" or "Little Peak Dog", Nuguri doesn't like these nicknames very much.
In addition to Xu Xiu's goal of reviving the glory of the LCK, his biggest wish for this Olympic Games is to shout "I am who I am, the best of the LCK" on the world stage like Xiaoyao did in last year's World Championship.
Therefore, when it comes to beating Li Xiufeng, he really doesn't care about the Kang special position. A man must fencing in the arena upright until death!
"Eh? Jhin and Ice?"
Suddenly, coach Jin Youshan looked at the two players on the opposite side and frowned.
He didn't expect this.
And facing the Japanese girl's bot lane, how dare the opponent choose two undisplaced ADC heroes?
This is a bit ambitious.
As for the Huaxia live broadcast room, countless water friends on the barrage were also flying.
"Tsk tsk! This is old Brother K who is cold."
"Brother K is still sexy, no wonder his butt is so perky."
"Please don't mention Brother K's buttocks. Brother K is my male idol. He is obviously a cold and cold CEO, but he always keeps his buttocks raised. I'm so depressed."
"..."
However, the wonderful BP is not over yet. After the Korean team selected the top laner Crocodile, Li Xiufeng of the Chinese team directly introduced a hero that was just revised a while ago.
Monkey King Sun Wukong.
“Brother Feng’s introduction to the monkey...is it reliable?”
On the Huaxia commentary stage, Wawa looked at Li Xiufeng's selection and couldn't help but rub his chin.
After all, the hero Monkey was released relatively early in the league, but his appearance rate in professional competitions is extremely low, almost zero. Although it was revised some time ago, no one is using it in competitions.
"I don't know if it's reliable or not," Mi Le said with a smile, "But I know that Monkey's version is enhanced. He can use his ultimate move twice, so it might have miraculous effects."
"Brother Feng must have his reasons for choosing heroes." Xitong took a clear stand and said with a firm expression, "Some heroes are not only strong themselves, but the players they use."
In a short while, the lineups of both sides were determined through back and forth.
Blue side China team:
Top laner Sun Wukong, jungler Spear, mid laner Clockwork, bottom lane Jhin and Han Bing.
Purple side Korean team:
The top laner is Crocodile, the jungler is blind, the mid laner is Tsar, and the bottom lane is EZ and Japanese girl.
After the lineup was finalized, the coach of the South Korean team looked quite satisfied. When he walked to the middle of the stage and shook hands with Han Yunlong, he was cordial.
South Korea's coaching system is relatively strict. Generally, coaches will prepare two lineups before BP, and each lineup will also prepare alternate heroes for each position in case they are not banned.
However, today the Chinese team didn't pick any of the heroes they wanted to win. The first lineup of the South Korean team's Kim Yoo-sun was all the same.
It's silky smooth.
In the middle of the stage, the coaches shook hands, looked at each other with a reserved smile, and returned to their respective backstages.
On the field, the competition between the players from both sides has begun.
Players from both sides loaded quickly and entered the spring water of Summoner's Canyon. At this moment, they had just bought their equipment and were walking towards the river. The three commentators on the stage also began to analyze.
"Okay, let's start the game. If it's a first-level team, neither side's lineup has any absolute advantage. It just depends on the ability to take the lead."
"That's right, eh! Do you think the two sides will fight a first-level team in this game?"
"I think my teammates on the Korean team probably have no idea, but Niu Bao... seems to have some ideas..."
