Chapter 221: A Moment of Glory

October 15, 2003.

At the Olympic Sports Park in Seoul, South Korea, colorful balloons have been raised in the sky, holding a huge banner on them: "2003 CG World Finals!" ”

Today is the opening ceremony of the 2003CG, and the Korean government has placed the main venue in the Olympic Sports Park, which means that the CG is as important as the real Olympic Games.

This year's CG is hosted by South Korea's Samsung Electronics Group, with huge financial support from the Korean government, with more than 30 organizers and more than 40 famous sponsors around the world, including Nvidia, Steel, Razer, Microsoft, Siemens, Nokia, Moto, BMW series, Carlsberg, CorsairMemory, Cacharal, Chanel, LV, Kappa, Nordstrom......

The line-up of broadcast stations is even stronger: HLTV, BBC, CNN, Peninsula, ACTV, CCTV, Munich, esu......

At the same time, the referee lineup and commentary lineup are also unprecedentedly rare, and world-class professionals are invited to referee and comment, such as: He Saitu, Feida, Mix, Zhu Zong, etc.

The opening ceremony was addressed by South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun and South Korean Minister of Culture Heo You, as well as a strong line-up of ambassadors from various countries, including the United States, Russia, China and the United Kingdom.

This year's CG will be held for 12 days, gathering more than 500 world-class experts from more than 70 countries and regions to compete for the CG World Championship trophy, which has the highest gold content.

This scale is really more than all previous world competitions, including CPL '01, ESC '03, and the Nordstrom Awards Ceremony, which is recognized by the U.S. government, will also select nominations in this CG.

It was 5 p.m. local time, and it was getting dark, and all the seats and squares in the park were full.

Jingjing and the Chinese students arrived here at 15 o'clock in the afternoon to take their place, waiting for the opening ceremony to be held at 18 o'clock.

Spectators from all over the world also gathered here, all holding their own iconic "weapons", such as the Star-Spangled Banner, the Maple Leaf Banner, the Star-Moon Banner, the Plaster Banner, the Tricolor Banner, and the Rice Banner...... Everyone was waving, ready to cheer on the players who would enter the arena when the time came.

Jingjing and her boyfriend had already prepared the five-star red flag, and even their faces were sprayed with paint.

Jin Meizhu looked at the Chinese flags everywhere, and she couldn't help but sneer: "Is it necessary, so many people come, no matter how big the momentum is, the result will be the same." ”

"Huh, huh? Let's see who's better. Jingjing replied angrily.

At 18 o'clock, the opening ceremony began.

President's speeches, ministers' speeches, ambassadors' speeches, guest speeches, Korean singers Ahn Qihyun, Rain concert songs, as well as HipHop's street dance performances, fashion shows, boxing performances and other programs.

However, the weather was not beautiful, and just as the entrance ceremony of the contestants was about to begin, it rained heavily in the night sky.

The icy rain hit everyone's heads, faces, and bodies, and many Chinese students shivered with cold, but none of them wanted to leave.

CCTV5 reporter Wang Mengqin saw such a scene, these Chinese students because they did not bring umbrellas, they would rather get drenched in the rain themselves, but also to protect the five-star red flag painting that had just been sprayed on their faces, and they could not let the imprint of the national flag be washed away by the rain.

Compared with the persistence of the Chinese audience, fans in other countries do not have such enthusiasm, the American audience gave up the good position that they had so hard to occupy, and ran under the eaves of the hall one by one, while the British audience held all the national flags on their heads to block the rain, which was really a damn gentleman's complex, making the national flag dirty and unbearable.

"We Chinese are good, and I am proud of our overseas students." Wang Mengqin said excitedly at the camera, she knew that at least tens of millions of people in China were paying attention to the opening ceremony at the moment.

In the TV footage, the Chinese students held high the national flag, everyone's eyes were fixed on the entrance, everyone's face was resolute and persistent, and the heavy rain could not extinguish the flame of their enthusiasm.

Many domestic audiences saw this scene, their eyes involuntarily reddened, they couldn't wait to rush to South Korea to stand with these lovely international students in the rain, they just looked forward to the Chinese delegation fighting for the Chinese people in the international arena.

The mighty guard of honor led the way to the field, followed by a large group of people such as interstellar babies, CS babies, and models.

"TheUnitedStatesofAmerica!" The announcer's voice was particularly passionate, and the first team to enter the stadium was the United States, and in front of the American delegation, there was actually a special bugle brigade leading the way, playing the American national anthem.

Holding the flag is the American CS superstar 3DMiller!

Miller smiled at the applause of the crowd, and the crowd began to get excited.

The U.S. delegation is mainly composed of 3D, Rvial, zEx, and MDK.

"The KingdomofSeden (Sweden)!" The female announcer continued.

The number of the Swedish team is very small, only eleven, but these eleven people are more important than the dozens of people in the previous American team, because they are: Potti, HeatoN, fisker, ahl, Span, these five kings are undoubtedly the visual focus of the audience; This is followed by Team9 stars: Vesslan, XeqtR, Luciano, Lucchese, Quick, Sift!

Cameras and flashlights scanned them like sniper rifles.

Potti walked at the front with the flag in hand, and Fisker, a funny guy, grimaced at the Swedish beauties in the stands, causing the crowd to burst into laughter.

“RepublicofKorea！ (South Korea)"

Originally, the host country was supposed to be the last to play, but this year's order of appearance is divided by national strength, and the Korean flag is held by the most influential star player in South Korea this year, Hong Junol (Yello).

At this time, the audience burst into huge applause, and even South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun stood up and waved to the South Korean delegation, and Kim Mi-joo waved the gossip flag next to Jingjing and danced and sang: "Haha, do you see it?" Our Republic of Korea has a strong lineup. ”

South Korea's lineup is indeed strong enough, it is simply an interstellar Hall of Fame, and there is also Maven led by Yin Xinxuan in CS, and the Korean players actually unified the famous "God of War Cloak".

The host was really imposing, but none of the Chinese present made a sound.

Because everyone is thinking about a question, when will the Chinese delegation appear? The order of appearance indicates the strength of the country.

People are waiting patiently and anxiously in the rain.

“FrenchRepublic！” (French Republic)

“FederalRepublicofGermany！” (German Confederation)

“Canada！” (Canada)

“RepublicofSingapore！” (Republic of Singapore)

“RepublicofItaly！” (Republic of Italy)

“RussianFederation！” (Russia)

……

The announcer's voice sounded over and over again, and the cheers followed one after another, but there was no voice representing China.

"24, 25, 26, 27......" Jingjing silently counted the number of appearances in her heart, and her mood became complicated little by little.

Suddenly, the voice of the female announcer was once again high and excited:

“PeoplesRepublicofChina！” (People's Republic of China)

At that moment, all the Chinese students, Chinese audiences, and Chinese journalists present stood up together and let out earth-shattering cheers.

With a "bang", the rain suddenly became heavier, but the cheers were louder, and countless five-star small red flags were raised from all directions, and the square was a sea of bright red.

"China! China! China! Everyone shouted the same name in unison, and this name was a symbol of strength.

Jingjing jumped up like a child and shouted "China!" loudly. ”

Kim Mi-joo was taken aback, the Chinese were simply more terrifying than them Koreans, and everyone shouted hoarsely, as if to vent the depression that had been deposited in their hearts for many years.

The flag bearer at the forefront of the Chinese delegation is the most influential CS superstar in China this year - Lu Fei.

The rainstorm was heavier, but Lu Fei's chest was straighter, and the national flag was held highest, and he wanted all the viewers around the world to see that the Chinese were coming.

The Chinese delegation participating in the CG World Finals this time is also the strongest lineup in history, with a total of 17 people, not only more than in previous history, but also gathered China's most talented golden generation this year, especially CS King Lu Fei, SC Three Dynasties veteran Ma Tianyu, and Interstellar King Guo Bin.

Hopes for it were even higher than the original AS campaign against France.

During the cheers, the eyes of many Chinese students and reporters turned red, and their faces could not tell whether it was rain or tears.

Because every Chinese knows that these 17 people have experienced countless difficulties and setbacks, gone through the precipitation of the three-year history from 01 to 03, and finally came to Seoul, South Korea today.

"The fact that they are standing here is a huge contribution in itself." Wang Mengqin said into the camera.

When the team passed the rostrum, Lu Fei raised the national flag with one hand, and gave a thumbs up with the other hand to signal to the thousands of Chinese in the audience.

People were moved, just looking at this gesture, you can know the courage and determination of the Chinese players - "If you don't do your best, you vow not to return to China." ”

Jingjing's tears flowed out uncontrollably, and she shouted: "China, come on, Lu Fei, come on!" ”

……

"I announce, the 2003 CG World Finals, start now!" South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun said this from the rostrum.

The contestants began to enter the main venue.

Starting from 8 o'clock this evening, the first round of five groups will be played in the group stage of interstellar projects, CS projects, and FIFA.

Zhu Zong had already sat in the broadcast studio of the CS venue, he didn't watch the opening ceremony, he had to recuperate, and he also had to be in the best mental state to explain the game, because tonight Lu Fei and his CHN will usher in the first game of the Chinese team.

Whether the Chinese team can play with momentum and play Chinese style depends on this first battle.

At this moment, it is 10 o'clock in the evening, and at least tens of millions of viewers are waiting in front of the TV, waiting patiently.

Waiting for a huge cheer together.
