Chapter 329: The Chosen One!
Two days later, the University of Southern California. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Galen Center!
One of the best equipped and largest stadiums in North America, it was the venue for the 1932 Summer Olympics and hosted the opening and closing ceremonies of the 1984 Olympic Games. With a maximum capacity of nearly 100,000 seats, the stadium is one of the largest stadiums in the world today.
What's more, the name of this gymnasium is Galen Center.
As soon as you hear the name, it's easy to understand why Riot chose this venue for the semifinals at such a costly price.
A tall stadium is so important for LOL, which is currently developing rapidly around the world, especially since the stadium also happens to have the same name as the most recognizable hero in the game.
"Wow, is this the USC that claims to have produced countless Oscar directors and actors? Riot is really willing to spend money! As soon as they got off the bus, Lin Mu and the others looked up at this world-famous university that can be ranked in the top 30 in the world.
"This is where USC's film program has been ranked No. 1 in U.S. college rankings for decades and is recognized as the cradle of directors, including Jaws director Steven Spielberg, Star Wars series director George Lucas, and Forrest Gump director Robert Zemeckis." Qin Yitian said that when she had the idea of studying abroad, she considered the university in front of her.
"Awesome." Everyone had a feeling of being shocked, including Lin Mu.
In his previous life, although Lin Mu had also heard of the Galen Center with the same name as Delmar, he did not know that this school had such a glorious history.
"So you have to perform well, I guess there will be a lot of North American MMs with film majors who will come to watch the game when the game begins, and the Americans are very open, you know." Qin Yitian glanced evilly.
She dared to say this, for Internet addicted teenagers like Lin Mu, once they met an enthusiastic blonde female fan, they would definitely not even know where to put their hands, let alone others.
"It's worthy of a college gymnasium, so magnificent." After entering the gymnasium through the VIP channel, Lin Mu and the others were immediately shocked by the magnificent and huge venue in front of them.
Even if today's Galen Center only has three platforms, and the boss behind it is closed, the area and seats of this half of the stadium are enough to be compared with some well-known stadiums in China.
An enclosed stadium is the size of two stadiums.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin Mu would never have believed it, he could only say that he would see it for a long time, and the world was really wonderful.
"Wow, the American audience is so enthusiastic!" When passing through the aisle, the RT crowd was recognized, and along the way, local spectators took the initiative to reach out and give high-fives.
At first, everyone was not very accustomed to this competitive atmosphere in North America, until Lin Mu, who was walking in the forefront, stretched out his hands and high-fived the audience on both sides, and the few people walking behind did not react.
What is quite a spoof is that Shu Hao at the end of the crane was put on a Teemo green hat by enthusiastic viewers at some point.
However, at this time, Shuhao couldn't think about this at all, and after finally finding a seat in the infield and sitting down, almost everyone had a feeling of weakness in their legs.
Passing through the sea of tens of thousands of people, and most of them were yellow-haired and blue-eyed foreigners, and all of them were whistling and shouting English they didn't understand, this kind of battle, including Lin Mu, was the first time to experience.
This has to be said that there are cultural differences between the East and the West, whether it is China's LPL, South Korea's OGN or Southeast Asia's GPL League, usually everyone only needs to shake hands with their opponents after the game to return to their players, and always maintain a considerable distance from the audience.
In the West, whether it is the North American LCS or the European LCS, in addition to shaking hands with the opponent after the game, the winner has to come to the edge of the stage to high-five the audience one by one to celebrate, and have a zero-distance interaction.
This is also the reason why European and American players are usually more open-minded, and introverted Chinese and Korean players will gradually become extroverted and talkative after arriving in Europe and the United States.
The environment can change a person's character.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
"Welcome to the Galen Center, hello to League of Legends players from around the world, as well as future USC Oscar directors and actors!"
As Sjoke, the official hostess from Germany, took the stage, and the audience erupted in deafening cheers.
Everyone knows that the game is about to begin!
Under the introduction of Sjoke, the two teams that were the first of the semi-finals, SKT and GMB, took the stage one after another and called out their names one by one.
It should be pointed out that GMB is not weaker than SKT in terms of audience support, and even outperforms the latter in terms of applause and shouts.
After all, it is a European team that is close to North America, and GMB has retained four gold medalists from the former legendary team M5, each of which can be called a legend, and they naturally deserve these applause.
However, Lin Mu also noticed that when the host shouted the name "Faker", the cheers and roars from the audience almost overwhelmed everything, not to mention the five people including the French king ALEX, even the captain of the orangutan in the United States may be difficult to compete.
"During this time, the media of various countries have released a lot of press releases and highlights about Faker, and even the homepage of the American service has hung up Faker's big avatar, and many people say that Fist is intentionally creating gods." Lin Mu was thoughtful.
Although he hadn't become a professional player at this time in his previous life, and he was watching S3 in front of the computer, no one knew better than him, and the deeds and pictures about Faker in China at this time were also flying all over the sky, and even the national server interface did not promote this talented mid-lane demon king, and the classic picture of the two robberies has become a topic of conversation for all players after dinner.
In the previous life, many people said that once S3 passed, the position of the first person in FAKER history was unbreakable, not without reason.
First, because he was born at the right time, just in time for the Assassin era and stood out, he had absolute dominance in the middle lane, and conquered countless fans around the world with his peak strength.
Another is the official support of Riot who spared no effort.
Even though S3 is not finished at the moment, and the championship is not yet known, Faker has already received no less than the championship treatment from the official and the audience at this time.
The Chosen One!
Looking at the thin but straight young figure on the stage, Lin Mu couldn't think of a better word to describe this demon-level figure with absolute strength and great personality charm for a while, except for quoting the four words explained by a certain person in later generations.
It is undisguised to say that this person is also the most respected professional player in Lin Mu's previous life, and there is no one.
