Chapter 309: San Francisco Night
Chapter 309: San Francisco Night
On October 1, 2004, the plane crossed the Golden Gate Bridge at high altitude and landed again at San Francisco Airport full of hope and honor.
The airport hall was already filled with fans from all over the world who spontaneously came to greet them, all of whom sprayed their faces with the five-star red flag, waiting for the CHN stars to appear.
βChineseοΌ Chinese! Chinese! When Lu Fei was the first to appear at the exit of the VIP passage, everyone spontaneously shouted this slogan, and Lu Fei smiled and waved.
Jingjing and her classmate Jin Meizhu also waved small flags in the crowd, and the two of them are now Lu Fei's most die-hard fans, and they came to the United States from South Korea to cheer for Lu Fei.
Today, the CHN group came to pick up the CHN group in a luxury bus specially provided by Samsung for the players, and the Meiya Club alone was full of people.
Compared with last year's winter CPL, Meiya used a larger scale this time, this time it was not Huo Xixian who wanted to increase the pomp, but two teams participated, the original Han Bing entered the first line, and the second line was supplemented with newcomers, CHN After all, there is still a lack of sharp knife players like Chu Jian, K17 is undoubtedly the most powerful enemy.
This CG World Finals is the first time to be held in a territory that does not belong to South Korea, California attaches great importance to the holding of this sports event, and began to prepare half a year in advance, and the state and municipal governments and Samsung have invested a lot of money to build, and strive to make the World Finals more professional and standardized, while adding more fashion and popular elements.
From the airport, everyone at CHN noticed that the street signs and billboards along the road were all marked with the word "CG2004", including the word "eletoCG" printed on the entrance of each store, and the signs on the bus stops were marked with CG.
Everywhere you pass through the square and corner, there are performance teams invited by the CG organizing committee, including bands, hip-hop, juggling, skateboarding, rollerblading, extreme cycling and other street sports with American characteristics.
The bus also specially carried CHN and his party to the main venue for a turn, the main venue is the San Francisco City Hall Auditorium, although the auditorium is not as large as the Olympic Sports Park in Seoul, South Korea, but the facilities and layout in the venue are absolutely first-class, in addition to the orderly contestant area and the audience seats are more luxurious than before, the most eye-catching is the square, the square is surrounded by a bit of a Chinese night market feeling, all temporary tents, providing catering services and performances, The giant electronic screen hanging in the center of the auditorium wall broke the world record, one of which was 60 meters long and 15 meters wide, equivalent to the size of three basketball courts, and even from 100 meters away, you can still see the game clearly.
Looking at these scenes, Lu Fei also felt some emotion in his heart, he was still a poor boy back then, and he followed Mr. Green here with infinite longing and hope, although it was just a hurry, but the night scene of San Francisco made him remember it vividly, after countless crawls, finally one day, he returned here as a superstar, and the country he now represents is also a superpower in the CS world.
After winning so many championships, he was also a little tired, thinking that the last time he had a long talk with Mr. Green all night was the night when CHN encountered a shady scene in Xijing, and it was almost two years since that time, although the Nordstrom Awards Ceremony also met, but that time was too hasty, and by chance in the dead of night, Lu Fei missed Mr. Green very much, but Mr. Green seemed to have disappeared in the past two years, I can't tell why, Lu Fei is particularly eager to see him at the moment.
As soon as I looked up again, night fell, and there seemed to be a figure in the dim light, and when I got closer, I saw that this person was really Mr. Green, and he was standing at the gate of the Player's Village Hotel.
"Lu!" Green walked over with a smile.
"Mr. Green." Lu Fei greeted him, "It turns out that you have been waiting for me here for a long time." β
Green laughed, "It's been almost two hours." β
Lu Fei turned his head and glanced at Huo Xixian, Huo Xixian nodded, that means you go, you master and apprentice haven't seen each other for a long time, you can have a good chat this time.
"Interested in going for a drink? But only if you have a treat, because you are richer than I am now. Green smiled slyly.
Lu Fei smiled: "I can't ask for it." β
The two walked to the brightly lit night market in the auditorium square, and casually found a barbecue stall to sit down, and the black stall owner recognized Lu Fei at a glance, and without saying a word, he first served several beers to Lu Fei and the two, and asked for an autograph and a group photo by the way, and Lu Fei accepted it with a smile.
The master and apprentice were fiddling with the self-service barbecue, chatting comfortably, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, and the two had endless words.
"Lu, a year has passed, you have achieved great success again, and I have also seen the CCL Super League in China, and Mr. Zhang is doing better things than CAL." Green raised his glass and motioned for Lu Fei to toast.
Lu Fei said: "Do you remember the last time you toasted?" It was still by the sea in Aberdeen. β
"Of course I do." "Let me guess what's on your mind right now." β
Lu Fei smiled.
Green said: "Isn't it strange that I haven't taken the initiative to contact you in the past two years?" β
Lu Fei said: "Is Mr. Green also working hard?" β
Green said: "Yes, I am also committed to e-sports in the United States, but it's just that my proud student is still you, but unfortunately you are Chinese, originally after the end of last year's winter CPL, I wanted to persuade you to become an American citizen, think about it carefully, forget it, because I know your personality very well, you are a player loyal to your homeland." β
A warm current passed through Lu Fei's heart.
Green suddenly sighed: "In the past two years, the CS of the United States has declined a little, the 3D dynasty has collapsed, the federal team is sluggish, and the old generation of superstars seems to be no longer in the limelight." β
Listening to Old Green's sigh, Lu Fei was also a little gloomy.
Green said: "I look at China's professional league, I found that you have changed history by yourself, in fact, this is also a merit worthy of my reference, China's CS is developing rapidly, if nothing else, I think at the latest in 05 years, China's team will form a ruling empire in the world, other countries and regions will bow down, of course, success is king, defeat is fall, this is the truth." β
Lu Fei didn't speak, and every time Green's words were very prescient.
Green continued: "But I still have to say that it's not a good thing for one company to dominate in any field, it's a sign of naivety in the industry. β
Lu Fei understood a little now: "Mr. Green wants to change this pattern in the future?" β
Green smiled: "Or are you the smartest, to tell you the truth, you should have heard of the K17 that has appeared in the past six months, right?" β
Lu Fei was stunned, and then smiled bitterly: "It's just like thunder, I don't think it's difficult to know them." β
Green smiled: "In this combination, some are your friends, some are your enemies, some are your opponents, and even some of your confidants and confidants. β
Lu Fei said: "Could it be that this is the masterpiece of your old man, Mr. Green?" β
Green said: "No, I didn't create K17, but its captain is from the same school as you. β
Lu Fei was surprised: "It turns out that Mr. Green has cultivated a student alone in the past two years?" β
Green smiled: "You are a senior brother, he is younger than you, but he is very talented, I let him enter the field of CS, I really want to see, Lu You can pass this last hurdle, if not, then the future world pattern may be Sino-US hegemony, if you can, then you are an unprecedented legend." β
Lu Fei lowered his head and smiled: "I'm not interested in any legendary heroes, I just hope that the Chinese players can stand up." β
Green said, "Do you want to meet your little junior brother?" β
Lu Fei nodded.
Green took out his phone and said a few words, and a figure walked towards him in a short time.
"Jim, Kennedy.Jim, Chinese name Jin Xiangrui!" Jim held out his hand to Lu Fei.
Lu Fei also stretched out his hand and said, "This is the first time we have met, right?" β
"I've seen you many times, on TV, on posters, on posters, in magazines, on demos, and on Pepsi bottles. β
Lu Fei found that Jim was very calm, he had never found such a calm person, which really did not match his age, especially those eyes, which flashed with sharp light from time to time, but quickly calmed down.
"You're like me." Lu Fei came out with such a sentence.
Jim nodded slowly, "You're my real opponent. β
"Sit down, I'll give you a beer." Lu Fei said with a smile, Jim was not polite to Lu Fei, and sat down immediately.
Green said: "Lu, K17 also participated in the CG World Finals, it is a team invited separately by the organizer, I don't think you should mind." β
This is very cleverly said, in fact, it should be asked if other teams will not mind, ask Lu Fei alone, Lu Fei knows that Jim is a very small character, of course, there is also the support of Green in secret, he has also seen Jim's Demo, Jim is several times better than Potti, this time it is not a test, but a real bloody battle to the end.
After a brief chat with Green, Alice's call came, and Lu Fei had to get up and say goodbye.
Looking at Lu Fei's distant back, Jim spoke: "I'm stronger than him, indeed better than him." β
Green laughed, "Are you referring to something technical?" β
Jim said: "It's not just the strength, but this time I also overwhelmed him in momentum, and I didn't waste my efforts in the strategic layout for most of the previous half a year." β
Green laughed, "Really? But I still think he's better than you. β
Jim said, "Mr. Green, do you know that you like him so much that you've been favoring him for the past two years. β
Green laughed even harder and patted him on the shoulder: "That's because you can't fully understand him as a person, you only have to fight him once, you know what kind of person he is, and you will know why I always say that he is a real invincible fighter." β
Jim said: "Since I took the name K17, I will only duel him this time, there is no such thing as a comeback, otherwise, where can the real determination be?" β
Green smiled: "Okay, I'm looking forward to this CG showdown, you have to remember, now that you are all at your doorstep, the right time and place and you have taken possession, don't let me down." β
Jim stared at the direction where Lu Fei was going and said coldly: "I will let him understand what is the true meaning of CS this time." (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the Literature Network Game Channel, more chapters, support the author, read!) οΌ
