July 17th.

It was the height of summer, the sun was shining, the blazing sun was sprinkled straight down every corner of the city, and the place where the roast was not covered was hazy and seemed to be distorted.

Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center, the entrance and the hall inside, are already full of young men and women dressed coolly, they are smiling, constantly communicating with friends around them, although the weather is hot, but fortunately there is air conditioning and refrigeration inside, although it can not be completely cooled, but it is countless times better than the scorching environment like a stove outside.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

More and more people are coming here, those with seats are sitting and waiting, and those without seats are all standing without exception, or swiping their mobile phones, or chatting with friends to pass the time, happily waiting for the arrival of three o'clock.

Different from the previous competitions, the spectators who came to watch the competition this time were obviously a higher level of discipline than before, not only did they all have items such as glow sticks, but also carried banners with portraits and names engraved on them, in addition, there were more eye-catching uniform costumes.

As far as the eye can see, in the bustling crowd, there are not a few people wearing uniform clothes, which can be roughly divided into two types:

The first is obviously the uniform style of Liu Yi and their team, with a dark red tone, a white six-pointed star icon on the left shoulder, the embellishment of the IM team emblem inside, and a one-centimeter-wide black mark on the distance of two fingers above the six-pointed star, which surrounds the arms of the team uniform, and the back is the team's English 'IMay'.

The other side.

It is also very obvious that the costume is completely simulated according to the EDG team and team uniform.

Black is the base tone, the big 'EDG' three words on the chest, the 'EDG' word has some iconic English on the left and right, and the left and right shoulders also have English characters, except for the black base, the rest of the words are white, and there is a sense of solemnity at first glance.

It's just that, because there are too many signs in English, it destroys the sense of solemnity held by black, which makes people feel less complete and have some bells and whistles.

"I'm very excited, today's meeting, I feel like it's comparable to the S5 Summer Finals!"

"I almost didn't get a ticket!"

"The invincible EDG fights with the invincible IM, the test, it's exciting to think about it!"

"Wet, wet!"

"EDG vs. IM, it feels like the most exciting peak matchup of this year's summer tournament!"

As the time got closer and closer to three o'clock in the afternoon, the spectators who had already checked their tickets and came to the venue began to enter, find their seats and sort them out, looked at the signs on several large screens at the stage, and exchanged excitedly.

Meanwhile.

In addition to the countless viewers who were pressed at the scene, the audience who did not grab tickets or did not have the conditions to come to the scene, and could only broadcast live on the Internet, were also communicating with great excitement.

The big screen at the scene, and the live webcast, are simultaneously playing the pre-game interviews of the two teams at the moment.

The first broadcast was an interview with EDG, the veteran powerhouse overlord team, and because of the inconvenient language communication between Pan and Deft, the first person interviewed by EDG was the factory director.

Reporter: "Hello promise, first of all, I would like to ask a question that most of the audience is very interested in, what kind of mood do you have and how do you feel about facing IM who has won all ten games in today's game?" ”

Out of respect, the official journalists generally address the factory director as a promise.

After a moment's consideration, the factory director said to the camera facing him: "Actually, to be honest, IM is a very strong team, and we have also done a deep study of the game videos played by the IM team in private, so for today's game, not only me, but also my teammates, are looking forward to today's game with IM." ”

As soon as the words fell, there were strong cheers and a high-density barrage in the venue and the official live broadcast room.

At this point in time, the popularity of the factory director was at its peak.

The reporter smiled and continued to ask: "Then to the next question that the audience is more interested in, will you feel more pressure in the face of the supernova jungler who has risen strongly and won proudly?" ”

The reporter's words are very subtle, because the words spoken by the audience can be much more direct in the official language.

Naturally, it's a lot more ugly.

As a veteran player in the LPL division, he was really asked a lot of questions like this, and with a smile, the factory director replied: "The pressure must be some, but I believe that in the game, I will use my rich game experience to deal with the boss's jungler style." ”

Let's talk about it.

The factory director paused slightly, and then said calmly: "Actually, to be honest, at present, we can have a talented professional player like the leader in our division, and I am happy more than pressure, after all, in the World Finals in the near future, every time there is a strong player, we are one step closer to the championship position." ”

The audience who saw the factory director speak like this through the live broadcast suddenly became emotionally high again, shouting wildly, and the atmosphere was extremely warm.

Even some IM fans showed admiration for the factory director.

Not to mention anything else, this sentence alone made a big difference in their impression of Ming Kai.

The reporter's questions continued, but the questions that should have been asked had already been asked, and the remaining scattered questions did not need to be answered by a big name like Ming Kai, and Meiko, who played a bright role in the EDG team and increased his popularity very quickly, took over Ming Kai's position.

……

……

The time of the interview, if there are no accidents, is extremely strict, so after more than ten minutes of interviews and advertising links, in several large screens and the official live broadcast room, the object of the interview has become the IM team, Liu Yi, as the captain and the most popular player in the IM team, is naturally the first object of the reporter's interview.

In the interview room, the staff made an 'OK' gesture, and the reporter immediately began to interview.

By the way, most of the reporters in charge of interviewing the players are young and beautiful women, and it is not difficult to guess the internal reasons, most of the professional players are a little introverted, and choosing young and beautiful female reporters to interview can not only complete the task well, but also be more likely to make the players excited for a while and reveal more important information.

Seriously, this behavior is a bit unauthentic.

The female reporter who interviewed Liu Yi looked at the little stars in Liu Yi's eyes, and secretly said in her heart that the rumors of her colleagues were really good, in the e-sports circle with a low level of appearance, Liu Yi's appearance was so outstanding, sitting opposite Liu Yi, looking at Liu Yi's handsome face, the female reporter and even her heart were beating violently, and her tone of voice couldn't suppress her excitement.

"Hello Sect Master, first of all, I would like to ask you a question that the audience is very interested in, that is, what kind of mood do you feel and what do you think of the EDG team facing the EDG team that is also winning streak today?"

Because of her excitement, the female reporter even turned into 'you' when she was supposed to say.

Looking at the camera, Liu Yi smiled politely and said: "Hello, for the EDG team, I personally admire its achievements very much, and at the same time, their strength is not inferior to ours, and even in terms of comprehensive strength, I am afraid that we are not as good as EDG, but all our team members have confidence and the courage to fight to the death with the EDG team for today's game." ”

Listening to Liu Yi's indifferent but powerful answer, the female reporter not only quietly closed her legs, but even her face was slightly crimson, only feeling that there was a heat flow in her lower abdomen, warm and warm.

"Then I wish you and your team a great performance."

Soon, the interview ended.

The time was just right, and within a few minutes of the interview, the players of the two teams, who were fully prepared, received the news of playing at the same time.
