Chapter 50: A Night in Seattle (1)
Chapter 50: A Night in Seattle (1)
Known as the City of Gems, Seattle is the largest coastal city in the Northwest United States.
From an early age, Huo Xixian loved this city full of warmth, charm and modernity.
She always felt that in this multi-ethnic and multi-colored city, people's happiness and carnival are the best enthusiasm and friendship, and she especially likes to interview those celebrities.
For example, the Seattle star RS team, Moyini came down from the giant X3 and led this little-known third-rate team from the O-League, all the way to the M-League, he brought joy to the people of the city, and he also became the hero of the city.
In fact, RS's results this season are not good, mainly because they have encountered several teams that have hit the P League, and RS will be defeated when they meet them, and RS can't lose again in today's game, but fortunately, today's game is MDK from Aberdeen, and RS doesn't seem to have a problem winning.
Huo Xixian and his assistant came to the Blue Sky Stadium early, set up a camera in the press area, and prepared to broadcast the whole showdown, her EPS is a TV station specializing in live broadcast of e-sports, and the director has given her an order to get some lace gossip tonight, the reason is very simple, because there is basically no suspense in this game, MDK is 80% going to be bombarded to slag, and lace news can attract people's attention the most.
So when a group of RS people walked into the venue, Huo Xixian rushed up quickly and extended the microphone to Moyini, a "terrorist".
"There's not much to say." Facing the many microphones, Moyini looked arrogant, "I tell you, this will be Aberdeen's grave tonight, and they will come in laughing and crying back." ”
With a "bang", the audience and even the entire Seattle audience who were watching the live broadcast broke out into a burst of cheers.
He's young, he's impulsive, he's talented, he's reckless, and although he's arrogant, people in Seattle like him because of his arrogance, and in the United States, people just like people who are good at acting.
However, when this image appeared in Aberdeen on television, Aberdeen's audience was not happy.
On the bar street by the beach outside the club, people are talking about Moyini is really arrogant, and the problem is that he has that arrogant capital.
Since the advent of CS, Aberdeen has indeed not had any superstars, and if you really want to say that they are a little famous, it is the three veterans of MDK, but their fame is far from the teams in the I League.
Audiences in almost every city in the United States have this mentality: that is, they are extremely eager to have a team in their city to compete in the I-League, and pull down the high-flying X3 and coL, so that it is exciting enough.
Blue Sky Stadium is mainly used for e-sports events, and the hall is very similar to the basketball court of the NBA, which is very different from the e-sports venues in China and South Korea.
The Korean venue mainly adopts a cinema-like layout, so that people can enjoy the subtlety of the game, just like watching a beautiful movie; China, on the other hand, adopts the Internet café model, which is crowded and lively.
The U.S. model of a ring-shaped basketball court is designed to highlight the warm atmosphere. Before the contestants entered the venue, the CS baby cheerleaders in hot clothes began to jump around, and the atmosphere that could accommodate 10,000 spectators suddenly became more enthusiastic.
The table is arranged like two billiard tables facing each other, with glass covers and soundproofing, and not far behind the table is the referee's workbench and the team leader's work area, with electronic screens hanging above them.
Of course, these expensive things are not supported by amateur competitions, and they are all provided free of charge by famous computer manufacturers such as Microsoft, and of course, advertising is indispensable.
At the highest point of the entire venue, there are also broadcast studios, broadcast studios, VIP rooms, lounges, press areas, and so on.
Such a professional and cost-effective thing, I'm afraid only the United States, the richest country in the world, can get it, in the final analysis, CS is also entertainment, entertaining citizens of the United States, the more entertaining things are, the more money is spent.
Huo Xixian roughly calculated, two US dollars for a ticket, the broadcast rights sold, and various expenses at the venue, this game was more than 20,000 yuan, and sure enough, the players played wonderfully, and the businessmen also earned enough money.
You must know that there is a CS game almost every night, and a club like Seattle is no less profitable than football and basketball.
When the MDK group entered the arena from the lounge, the audience at the venue let out a huge boo.
"That's the way it is on the road, they can boo you to death." The monkey explained this to Lu Fei.
Lu Fei had no expression, but he sighed in his heart: It would be great if there was such a good CS atmosphere in China.
People here like CS, because CS brings them excitement and happiness, and has become a part of their lives, Mr. Green really did not lie to Lu Fei, CS is a kind of culture in the United States, a kind of life, even when Bush Jr. has nothing to do.
MDK is still those familiar faces, captain Liu Jinsi, team members Sanger, Chelo, Cheng Jin, and Mir.
The team leader, coaches, medical staff, and the staff all walked in with expressionless faces, and if they had the slightest abnormal expression, they would immediately be overwhelmed by the huge boos of the audience.
But when Lu Fei and the monkey finally walked in, Huo Xixian's heart began to skip a beat.
Yellow skin, black hair, oriental faces, and gestures exude a calm temperament.
Chinese!
Oh my God, really a Chinese!
"It's great to finally see the Chinese in the powerful CAL league." Huo Xixian couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart.
Although she grew up in the United States, she is a native of Shanghai, China, and that deep Shenzhou dragon complex lingers anywhere in the world.
Once upon a time, when the dazzling superstars on the altar were all blonde and blue-eyed Westerners, Huo Xixian's heart longed for a Chinese figure to stand on it.
It's a pity that she was disappointed, she never saw a report about China's CS in newspapers and magazines, in fact, as a news media worker, she also knew that the motherland's CS was still very backward.
But now, in this M-level event, there are Chinese.
Before the assistant could turn the camera around, Huo Xixian didn't care about his ladylike image at all, and rushed forward with extreme speed, and his body was very similar to the flash sniper in CS.
"Hello, are you Chinese?" Huo Xixian asked cautiously, and in standard Mandarin.
Lu Fei was still very calm, but this kind Chinese immediately attracted him.
He turned his head and saw an Oriental face, a pair of slightly right Danfeng eyes, and a waterfall-like curly hair, Huo Xixian's whole body could only be described in one word: charming!
The kind of woman who is so charming that men will associate it with a certain aspect at a glance.
Lu Fei was stunned: "You are also Chinese?" ”
Huo Xixian suddenly laughed, and Lu Fei also laughed.
A knowing smile, a kind of warmth came to the hearts of the two.
Only in a foreign country can this sense of Chinese intimacy and warmth be inadvertently revealed.
"Are you the player on the field today?" Huo Xixian instinctively stretched the microphone up.
But Lu Fei ignored her anymore and walked straight to the field.
Huo Xixian was stunned again: Why is he so weird?
Lu Fei is not strange, but he doesn't want to be distracted, as long as he is close to a big battle, he usually stays calm and doesn't want to answer anyone in the outside world.
But at this moment, he seemed to be relatively cool, and Huo Xixian was completely attracted, and she really wanted to know, can her compatriots surprise the four?
But she was quickly disappointed, and the MDK players sitting on the stage did not have Lu Fei.
Lu Fei took a small notebook and a pen, and sat at the team leader's workbench with Chris, looking at the situation, it should be a coach or something.
No, how can a coach be so young?
Huo Xixian immediately turned to his assistant and said, "Pier, quickly go to the official website of CAL to check the list of all the players in the MDK club, I must know the information of this Chinese." ”
Pier picked up his laptop and there was a bang.
At this time, the super passionate voice of the commentator sounded in the air above the venue: "The competition for supremacy, the wind is surging, the ninth round of the eighth season of the CAL M-League kicks off in the great Seattle tonight, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the blue sky venue, our purpose is to let you spend the least amount of money, to get the maximum happiness, please our glorious team, RSandMDK!" ”
With a "bang", a huge storm was set off in the venue, and the audience roared to the sky.
Lu Fei felt that this kind of storm was likely to collapse the roof.
"I'm a commentator from Washington, my name is Mix, and I grew up with a great dream of being a great commentator, so today I'm happy because I'm here in Seattle to talk about this classic game, oh, sorry, why is there a piece of gum sticking to the microphone......"
Hearing this, everyone in the audience laughed with a "boom".
Lu Fei also laughed, the commentators in Western countries have always liked passion and funny, but this is fine, lest Liu Jinsi and them tense their nerves:

[RS]-Moyini

[RS]-Funk
The server refreshes three times and the match begins.
MDK plays T first, and RS plays CT.
The game is played on a 40-minute format, which means that the side with the most points wins in 20 minutes in one half.
This is the first time Lu Fei has seen an American-style official game in the United States, and from the first game, he understands why he uses the 40-minute time system, because everyone wants to score, and the pace will inevitably speed up.
Liu Jinsi directly commanded Rush in the first game, and the route was that the small iron gate and the small yellow house were opened at the same time.
This is not a tactic designed by Lu Fei, Lu Fei's tactics are whatever they play in the first three games.
MDK is actually still very combative, after all, under the ** of a coach like Chris, the marksmanship is so fierce that there is nothing to say.
Xiao Huangfang was flashed at the beginning, but Liu Jinsi deserved to be the captain, and he rushed out to rush out and rush to the square before the CT was in a good position.
There was a burst of swords and swords at the gate of Area A, and the two sides were purely exchanging one for one.
In MDK, Mir's pistol skills are outstanding, and it is relying on his sand eagle that MDK desperately won the first game.
"It's already pretty good." Chris muttered.
Lu Fei looked at the results menu, and at the same time watched the progress of each person on his side from the perspective of death, and then used a pen to point and draw in a notebook.
"He's probably a real coach." Huo Xixian said with emotion.
