Chapter 731: The Long-Lost Event (Third Update!) )
The team members restrained their smiles, Li Mu was a little confused in his heart, although Brother Feng looked serious, but there seemed to be a little excitement in this seriousness?
Should be...... Good thing, right?
"It was Liu Qing who called me just now."
Brother Feng pondered for a moment and said, "There is an event that will be held after the spring competition. ”
"We know that, the Mid-Season Invitational."
Xiangguo waved his hand: "Brother Feng, when did you learn to speak and pant loudly, this is something that everyone knows." ”
"It's not a mid-season invitational."
However, Brother Feng directly interrupted the incense pot's words: "You should all have heard of this event, but you have never played it." ”
"Ouch, Brother Feng, don't sell it, okay?"
Shi Senming didn't know when he had already rushed behind Brother Feng, rubbed his shoulders, and said with a hippie smile.
“WCG。”
Simple three letters.
But it made everyone present, including Li Mu, their eyes light up instantly.
This word, too long ago.
From '01 to '14, WCG has spent 14 years.
This event can almost be called the Olympics of esports.
Li Mu remembers that the last time this event was held, the final finals of the LOL project at that time were between OMG and South Korea's CJF.
It's a pity that OMG lost.
And the loss is relatively miserable.
At that time, OMG rented the PE team's bottom lane combination Nami and Sika, with the old OMG's iron triangle gogoing elixir and stateless trio, which could be called the most luxurious lineup in the domestic LPL at that time.
but ended up with a crushing defeat in the final.
Li Mu also watched that game.
I didn't feel much at the time, because he wasn't particularly sad about the event at the time.
As the saying goes, the importance of everything is not known until it is lost.
In 14 years, the WCG was discontinued.
It's been 14 years!
Gogoing, who was sitting next to him and listening, was stunned.
Back then, even if he was 91 years old, he was still at the golden peak of his professional players in that era.
They were confident before that finals, but they ended up disappointed.
The disappearance of the event has made Gogoing almost forget this period of history.
But now Brother Feng's words once again mobilized his dusty memory.
"The organizer this time is South Korea's Smilegate game-level company, which is the first event after the resurrection of WCG, and there are only two projects: LOL and dota."
"Where the event will be held...... In Xi'an! ”
Call......
The team members took a breath.
This news is indeed too exciting.
When the WCG was discontinued, it caused quite a stir in the esports community.
After all, there have been too many well-known figures in the esports world in the past fourteen years.
And the halls of fame around the world are held because of WCG.
The requirements for entering the Hall of Fame are also demanding, requiring at least two WCG Grand Finals titles.
And there are very few Chinese people who have entered the Hall of Fame, and even faker has not entered the League of Legends project in the world.
SKY。
70KG。
Nice。
Lincoln.
Of the four players, three were CrossFire events.
LOL is indeed difficult to be selected because of the number of times it has been held and the team competition mode.
And WCG is too old after all.
Speaking of which, the reason why the WCG was suspended was actually only because of four words.
Die in one's bed.
Samsung's world expansion, reckless investment has allowed WCG to be held for so many years.
Until Samsung's transformation, the popularity of some games has indeed declined, and LOL's popularity at that time was still in its infancy.
It all came together.
Make WCG say goodbye in Kunshan.
This time, however, it's making a comeback, just like last year's Sac.
The LOL project is at the pinnacle of the world!
This event has enough foundation.
Enough heavyweights.
The most important thing is that the organizers will not lose anything by restarting the event under special circumstances!
"Finally, there are the rules."
Brother Feng's gaze slowly looked around, and after a moment of silence, he said, "According to the unanimous decision of all the regions in the world after deliberation, the competition method adopted by WCG this event is mainly in elite mode. ”
"No more than two players can appear on each team."
"In other words, the five players will be selected from the three teams in the LPL, and according to the current domestic situation, it should be decided by voting."
As soon as Brother Feng's words came out, everyone fell silent.
"It's kind of like the All-Star Game back then."
After a while, the incense pot broke the silence abruptly.
"Yes."
Brother Feng nodded: "But the rewards are very unusual, and they have not yet been determined, but the information that is certain is that the rewards are accumulated through the prize pool, at least not less than the S competition, and because this is the WCG re-held after a long time, strictly speaking, it can even be regarded as the first one." ”
"Therefore, there are certain special preferential treatment for both LOL and DOTA."
"The team that wins the World Championship will all be inducted into the WCG Hall of Fame!"
Brother Feng threw a bombshell.
At this time, the crowd was even more silent.
Want to go?
Everyone wants to go.
Hall of Fame, that's quite a heavyweight list in the esports industry.
Five people are selected at a time, and it is only this one, and the WCG will return to normal after that.
This is an opportunity that can be met but not sought.
But by voting......
To be honest, the popularity value of the current five players on the Sac side, except for the left hand of the mid-laner and the adc old thief who may suffer a little, the rest of the positions have an absolute advantage in the whole LPL.
Even the popularity of the factory director may not be comparable to the spicy pot that made everyone remember the name at the World Championships.
If a team goes to two people, that is, three people in their Sac can't go.
"My words...... I won't go. ”
The left hand is the first to speak.
"It's nothing to do with me."
The old thief still maintained a wooden face.
If it is elected according to the vote, the old thief knows that he is 100% useless.
This is an inevitable trend.
In terms of strength, he can rank in the top three in China, but few people think that he is the first AD.
And the old thief's style is also relatively distinct, he has perfectly integrated into the Sac collective, and if he changes teams, he will definitely not be able to play the effect he wants.
Two people directly indicated their withdrawal.
"Then I'...... too"
Shi Senming smirked and was about to make a statement.
However, he was glared back by Brother Feng's eyes.
Brother Feng actually knows that the left hand and the old thief are really the kind that can't be helped.
He doesn't think that his team members are worse than others, but since it is a voting decision, the final selection result depends on all netizens.
Moreover, the official website of this vote is personally checked by Riot, and the domestic sports bureau will also intervene, and all votes are voted by real names!
This also means that if you want to swipe votes, unless you go to advertise and canvass for votes, it is absolutely impossible.
"Okay, you three vote, and then ...... Let's see the results. ”
Brother Feng glanced at the three of them and spoke.
