Chapter 201: The Back Waves of the Yangtze River Push the Front Waves!
"Congratulations RT!"
On stage, RT defeated WE 2-1 in the final as the blue side base shattered, and a costumed female presenter came to the center of the stage. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Congratulations to the RT team for becoming the champion of IEM8 Shanghai, they will receive the first prize of $18,000 and the qualification for the IEM8 World Finals. The hostess pulled her throat and worked hard to drive the atmosphere of the scene.
It's just that it's one thing to work hard, but it's another thing to be a host who doesn't open your eyes and can't improvise.
An embarrassing scene happened, when Lin Mu and others took the stage to accept the championship medal, most of the audience had already left, and most of the rest of the people got up to leave, not to mention cheers and applause, and there were not even a few people who were ready to watch the award ceremony.
The same situation also happened in the YY live broadcast room, and at this moment the barrage has been dominated by the angry 60E, which are all difficult words to hear.
"Uh...... Let's interview the champion team, are you happy after winning this championship? The hostess also realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly stretched out the microphone to save the scene.
"It's fun." The microphone was tossed and turned several times, and finally handed to Lin Mu.
"Really? Why don't you look very careful? "The hostess is a bit stupid.
How do people answer this? Could it be that to be honest, I am not in the mood at all because of this group of brainless fans?
"It's okay." Lin Mu squeezed out a smile and responded lightly.
He really didn't lie, don't look at it as a sub-event, but it can be counted as the team's first weighty championship since the team's founding. After all, there are forty teams participating in the competition, and none of the eight major teams in the LPL are missing, although the gold content is not as good as the league championship, it is also a weighty event in today's China.
Again, the WE fans in the audience who were annoyed and left also made Lin Mu feel good.
I came all the way to find myself unhappy, this taste, it is sour to think about it.
What's more, when he saw the back of the factory director and others packing up their equipment and leaving lonely, Lin Mu felt a sense of relief in his heart.
Although Lin Mu is not a person who will repay him, he is definitely not an illusory person who can see through everything, he also has vulgar desires such as greed, hatred, and ignorance.
Even if it is clear that it is not the players who insult and abuse the team, but only their fans, as the so-called fans act as idols pay, anyone will inevitably be angry with these players.
There's no way to take fans, and you can't relieve your anger on their idols?
What do you care about the 6.059 billion imperial army piglets, you can't win the championship, what if the fan base is big?
E-sports, everything is based on results.
In Lin Mu's impression, after WE won the Shanghai championship in his previous life, his reputation in China rose sharply for a while, and he swept away the consecutive defeats in the previous spring game, All-Star and Asian Chamber Games, and once again became the "domestic king" in many people's mouths!
If memory serves, this is also the last championship of the old WE, and the next championship will not be until IEM Shenzhen a year later.
It can be said that RT's battle today has dealt a heavy blow to the seemingly brilliant but actually terminally ill Cosmos team, at least for other teams in China, which is definitely a great thing, and it can even be said that it has made a lot of contributions to the ecological balance of the e-sports circle.
"Call everyone and go to eat Haidilao at night, I know there is a new branch nearby, and the taste is quite authentic." Coming out of the venue, Lin Mu took the initiative to speak.
"Really? Why don't you go now? I hadn't eaten lunch yet, and my stomach was screaming with hunger. As soon as they heard that there was something delicious, Qin Yitian and the others immediately drooled, Lin Mu had taken them to eat once after the City Championship before, but it was only once, since the start of the special training, everyone usually has very few opportunities to go out, let alone go to eat this kind of feast.
"It's okay, Lao Jiang, you call the Xia team and ask them to take a taxi by themselves." Lin Mu nodded happily.
After 10 minutes, arrive at your destination.
It's still early, it's not yet 12 noon, but since it's a weekend, there are already a lot of customers queuing up at the store.
It is worth mentioning that while waiting, Lin Mu found an acquaintance at the next table, no, it should be two.
It is the LPL chief commentator doll and his girlfriend, who is currently the host of LPL.
The doll guy was absent from illness, so it turned out that he brought his girlfriend here to eat hot pot.
Lin Mu was not surprised that these two people would appear here, in his previous life, this Haidilao branch was the most frequent place for major teams to have dinner, and he often met various professional players when he came to eat here.
It's just that even if the doll and the baby found them, Lin Mu had no intention of going up to say hello. Even though he knows very well that compared to Zhou Keer, a dead brain who only recognizes one family, the doll can be regarded as enlightened, and his popularity is not bad in the professional circle, but he is very uninterested in this guy's sleek nature of pouring the grass wind wherever the wind blows.
Lin Mu didn't step forward, and the others naturally didn't dare to overstep their bounds.
Quite unexpectedly, after waiting for a while and finding that there was no movement, the doll, who was a senior, actually walked up with his girlfriend.
"Hey, Brother Xiamu, brothers, you also come here to eat hot pot?" The doll wearing black large-framed glasses smiled and said in a familiar tone, as if she and Lin Mu were old friends who hadn't seen her for many years.
"It turned out to be the baby guide, why are you here? If you don't mind, let's get a table together? "As the saying goes, if you don't stretch out your hand and don't hit a smiling person, the other party comes with kindness, and Lin Mu will naturally treat him politely.
The doll agreed: "Okay, I'm talking to the baby that it's boring for the two of them to eat, eat hot pot, just want more people to eat it to taste enough!" ”
"Please be seated, waiter, and add two pairs of chopsticks." Lin Mu was slightly moved, he just mentioned it politely, he didn't expect the other party to give face like this.
"You're welcome, it's all your own people." Seeing that the other team members except Lin Mu were a little restrained, the doll who came over immediately showed her amazing topic ability: "I just watched your match with WE, and to be honest, I really regret not commenting on today's game, it's so relieving!" Come, I'm here to replace the wine with tea to toast you first, everyone has worked hard! ”
Everyone looked puzzled, not understanding that they had won the game, and this guy had nothing to relieve his anger. Only Lin Mu knows very well that this guy had a grudge with WE as early as the spring game, and after the loss of WE in the spring game, he publicly bombarded the WE club in an interview for not giving correct guidance to fans, allowing it to be presumptuous and poisoning the e-sports circle.
It's just that it's just this time, and this interview quickly drowned in 60E's saliva after it came out.
Doll didn't expect that even though the WE Spring Tournament only finished fourth, its momentum was still increasing, not only was the voting popularity of the All-Star Game higher than the other teams combined, but it also became a team in the Asian Chamber Conference.
It should be said that this was not expected by anyone.
The popularity of the champion is less than 1/10 of the fourth place, and no one will believe it if they say it.
However, this is the status quo of the e-sports industry, and it is also a pathological manifestation of the immaturity of the industry.
It is also the lesson of this time that makes the doll no longer dare to comment on WE in public easily, and even has to say something contrary to the original intention during the commentary.
It's not just the players who need to bear the pressure of public opinion, but they are also evaluated in the unexpected world.
In the e-sports circle, whoever has more fans is often the object of the commentators!
Of course, old fritters like dolls who are skilled in the world will naturally not put all their eggs in one basket, in addition to continuing to maintain cooperation with old teams such as WE and IG, it is also very important to build a good relationship with those potential emerging teams.
The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the doll is convinced that the era of WE covering the sky with one hand will come to an end sooner or later.
At that point, it's the world of these up-and-coming teams.
Of course, even so, the doll will not hang itself from a tree, and RT is not the only candidate on his list.
The last team he took the initiative to show favor was the OMG team that won the Spring Tournament.
