Chapter 285: To Seoul
On this day, we got up early in the morning to pack our bags, and then stood in front of the club gate and waited for the Zhaoyun car to pick us up and take us to the airport. The World Finals of 7 officially opened on April 2nd, and now it is March 30th, and we have to go a few days in advance to find a place to stay and go to the Riot branch in South Korea to report on the tournament team, and we have to do a series of verifications, otherwise we will not get the right to participate at all.
This time, the S7 World Finals are very strict, especially in terms of rules, because of some loopholes in the rules, some teams have taken advantage of loopholes, so they have to wait for work and rely on some strategies to enter the quarterfinals, which is absolutely not allowed for Riot. The purpose of the finals is to determine the strongest team in the world, and the strongest in the world depends on strength! In addition to this, it is necessary to minimise the influence of other factors on the outcome of the match as much as possible.
Therefore, after repeated discussions with many older generation of professional players, Riot has set a very strict set of specifications, but any team that does not respect this rule will be judged to lose!
In this regard, some teams with crooked minds will no longer be able to take advantage of the loopholes in the rules to do some things, so that although they are more harsh on the contestants, in a certain way, the competition is more fair, and if you want to become a champion, it all depends on your strength.
After waiting in front of the club for more than ten minutes, the car sent by Zhaoyun to pick us up had already arrived, Qin Fan patted us on the shoulder and said loudly, "Get in the car, it's time to go to Seoul." ”
Just as we got on the bus and went straight to Donghuang Airport, in different parts of the world, there was a strong team ready to go, aiming at Seoul!
An hour later, we boarded our plane to Seoul.
Before I got on the plane, I received a call from Zhaoyun, "I've already arranged a place for you to settle down over there, and you will contact me first when you come to Seoul." ”
Because Zhaoyun wanted to help us arrange the matters of this finals, including our foothold and the verification of the report, she had already taken her family's private jet to Seoul first.
On the plane, Qin Fan gave each of the five of us a piece of information.
"You have this information, this is the team information of the other three divisions that Tian Bing and I have collected in the past few days, the twenty-four participating teams are all among them, and the peak team is as high as double digits, it seems that this game will be a super battle."
We weren't too surprised by Qin Fan's words, there were six peak teams in our Asian Qualifiers alone, in addition to EEM, who were eliminated by their own death, there were also five teams that entered the S7 World Finals, the Asian region is still the same, the peak teams in Europe and the Americas are probably not less than us, plus the sub-division, the number of peak teams is close to twenty!
"When will that tournament group come out?" I asked.
Qin Fan immediately said when he heard it, "April 2 is the opening ceremony, and in the afternoon, a lot will be drawn to determine the group, and the captains of the major teams will draw lots to decide which group their teams will be assigned to." ”
"So late?" I was secretly amazed to hear it.
Qin Fan nodded, "Yes, this time the finals are all drawn before the game and then determine their respective opponents, before this no one knows which team they will be divided into a group with, and which team will become opponents, in this way, it completely depends on the hard power and the heritage of the team itself, only the real strong team can go to the end." ”
Hearing Qin Fan's words, several of us were a little surprised, this is the first time we have seen such competition rules, but if you think about it carefully, it is indeed quite good.
A few hours later, the plane slowly descended to the largest airport in Seoul, and we were checked and left the airport, and as soon as we walked to the airport gate, we saw Uncle Lee.
"Let's go, Miss sent me here to pick you up, the S finals will start in a few days, you have to come on, old man, I'm very optimistic about you." Uncle Li said to us angrily, we haven't seen him for many days, but his body is still strong.
Several of us nodded respectfully when we saw Uncle Li, in a sense, Uncle Li is also half of our teacher, although he didn't teach us any sharp operations and advanced routines, but he gave us the best body, so that we have enough capital to squander.
Uncle Li waved his hand when he saw us like this, and said with a smile, "If you boys can achieve the supreme position in this competition, I also have the capital to show off with others, after all, the supreme is trained by me." ”
Hearing Uncle Li's words, several of us looked solemn, although the supreme position is now in Seoul, on the land under our feet, but it is not that we can get it in our hands if we want to.
It was already twenty minutes when we arrived at the hotel, and Zhaoyun was waiting for us at the door, and when he saw us getting off the bus, he greeted us.
"The place to stay has been done for you, the environment of this hotel is very good, and the people who live here are all contestants. Because the S7 World Finals were held in Seoul this time, the South Korean government was very concerned about this competition, and specially sealed off the area around the hotel, and even sent away unrelated people in the hotel, in order not to disturb the rest of the contestants. ”
Listening to Zhaoyun's words, I secretly smacked my tongue in my heart, South Korea is worthy of being the world's leading country in the development of e-sports, and the government directly ordered the lockdown of the surrounding area of the hotel in order not to disturb the rest of the e-sports players, which we enjoyed when we took the high school entrance examination.
However, the country is also beginning to move closer to the international, and it may not be too long before domestic e-sports players can have a better competition environment, which will be a major improvement for every domestic e-sports player.
Following Zhaoyun into the hotel, we went straight to the eighth floor. And in this hotel, as Zhaoyun said, there are basically no idle people, except for the contestants, that is, the people of the competition team and the hotel waiters.
"Let's take a break first, in the afternoon, follow me to the official Korean e-sports tournament team for identity verification, Riot will send someone to review, ID card, participation card including visas and other things must be brought, one less may not pass the verification, we can't pass the test, we can't participate in the competition."
We all listened to it, but we didn't expect this time the verification to be so strict.
"Then it's nothing, just go back and put your things away, and come to me in the afternoon." With that, Zhaoyun left with Uncle Li.
We nodded and went back to our room, and after putting our things away, we were ready to go downstairs for a bite to eat. As soon as he walked into the hall on the first floor, he was greeted by a group of people, led by a blonde and blue-eyed man, not to mention how handsome he was, but very delicate, especially the depth in his eyes, which made people leave a deep impression at a glance.
Although I have never met this person, I still pay a little attention to the European competition, and this person is none other than Slahser, the captain of the Little Devil team, a Danish genius who is quite famous in Europe!
When I looked at Slahser, Slahser saw me too, and when he approached me, he whispered, "lovewave? ”
When I heard this, I knew that Slahser recognized me, and since my exclusive keyboard was recognized at the Asian Qualifiers, my identity as lovewave has spread around the world, and such a person who almost made it to the top in Hanbok is naturally watched by many people.
Hearing Slahser's words, I didn't nod or shake my head, just shrugged my shoulders and looked at him and said, "I'm Yunhua of the Reincarnation Clan, it's nice to meet you." ”
Seeing that I didn't admit it or deny it, Slahser just nodded slightly, and the reincarnation keyboard was in my hand, and it was an indisputable fact that I was lovewave.
"I'm looking forward to fighting you on the battlefield, but don't be eliminated until then."
Dropping this sentence, Slahser went upstairs, I looked at his departing back and felt a sense of battle surging up from my heart, this time the finals will be a dragon fight!
