The organizers of Lao Mei still attach great importance to this finals, and the selection competition was held in New York. The group stage was moved to Graham City Hall in San Francisco. Naturally, the opening ceremony was also held here.

By the time I arrived at the venue by the rented bus, a large number of spectators and media had already gathered outside, and there were many players playing cosplay.

It looks like a big festival, and it's no longer the embarrassing situation of two or three kittens in the esports competition.

However, there are only 16 LOL teams around the world who can enjoy this kind of spectacle in person, and GG is lucky to be one of them.

After getting off the bus, there were a lot of spectators who came around to take a group photo or something, and Xiao Shrimp and others also tried their best to cooperate. Don't get me wrong, these people who come to take a group photo are not necessarily GG fans, many people will come over to take a group photo whenever they see the team.

And it was here that Niu Wensong met for the first time the other two teams that also belonged to the LPL camp: shg and esg.

SHG is the best team at home and abroad, having twice won the runner-up in the Series S Finals. It was once silent for a period of time because of the successive retirement of the old players, but this year it rose again and directly advanced to the S6 finals with the first place in the total points.

ESG is the dominant team in the LPL, and they have won half of the championships in four years and eight seasons. The results in the foreign war are also very good, and when I was in S5, I once killed the SKG of the stick country in the mid-season and won the championship.

This year, he once again advanced to the finals as the champion of the LPL Summer Tournament and became the top seed of the LPL.

But their performance in the S-Series Finals was very unsatisfactory, and the meme of the quarterfinals of the two years was a mockery of them. So the ESG team members are a little silent.

Both of these are regulars in the finals of the veteran teams, and their relationship is very widespread. After coming to the United States, you have a good team to receive you, so you don't have to find a hotel or anything like GG.

So Niu Wensong had only heard of them before, but had never seen them. Both teams also invited them to practice matches, but both were rejected by Holo.

I'm busy researching new tactics, so I don't have time to play with them. Besides, although everyone belongs to the same camp, there is a high possibility of becoming opponents in the finals, and it is necessary to keep it secret when it is time to keep it secret.

After the three parties greeted each other, they naturally walked together and entered the main venue - before they really became opponents, everyone was still comrades in the same trench.

"Hello brother, you guys aren't authentic. These days, I hid at home and didn't take us with me. SHG's coach Da Tanuki said with a cold face.

Brother Hello is Holo's nickname, so I don't need to say much about the source.

"Brother Feng, you know that we were placed in Group A and deliberately hit me in the face, right? It's right that we ask you for advice, but you're not enough brother to hide it every time. It's just because we don't have you big brothers to teach us experience, so we will play so hard in the tryouts. Holo wasn't intimidated by him, and replied.

Brother Feng is the affectionate name for the big raccoon dog in the circle, because his name has a Feng character in it.

"That's a slap in the face." Brother Feng glanced at Niu Wensong and said meaningfully: "With your killer skill, how dare we give you guidance." You also deserve it in the tryouts, how good it would be to release a little routine and break through easily. I have to hide and tuck, and even the killer weapon I did in the end had to be taken out in advance, and the gains outweighed the losses. ”

Niu Wensong is not a person with stage fright, and when he saw that the topic was on him, he took the initiative to stand up and say: "I am Cheng Biting Jin's three-plate axe, and it is useless to be touched by others." The strength of the regular lineup and the understanding of the version, we are too far behind you. ”

Only if you believe in you will you have a ghost, Brother Feng complained in his heart. But with a smile on his face, he said in a kind tone: "You kid is the ghost." When I was in China, I hid it so deeply, we all thought that GG was a lucky finalist. Now I know that you are confident, and that those so-called good luck are just deliberately released smoke bombs to confuse us all. ”

With shg's status and connections in the LPL, a lot of news can be easily heard. Although the specific tactics are not known, the performance of each player is still very clear.

All the teams involved in the training match had only two words to evaluate Niu Wensong's performance: horror. Especially to give him a specific hero, even being on the line with him is a luxury.

It's nothing if it's just one or two people saying that, but when everyone says that, you have to pay attention.

Brother Feng's attitude once again illustrates a truth, if you have strength in the e-sports circle, you will have face. Even if he is a big name in the circle, he has to be polite after knowing Niu Wensong's strength.

Everyone in front of him is a celebrity in the e-sports circle, and Niu Wensong also took out the set of mixed society in his previous life, and after a while, he became a mess with the two teams. The three parties even agreed to go out to dinner together when they had time.

After entering the venue, their own staff led each team to their respective team's lounge, and everyone separated.

"Kid can, emotional intelligence is higher than I thought." After separating from the two teams, Holo complimented.

"That's what kind of emotional intelligence is high. None of the people in that group of people just now are the big guys in the circle, and I don't dare to offend them with my little arms and legs. Niu Wensong said with a smile.

Holo shook his head and didn't say anything. Since Niu Wensong wants to keep a low profile, there is no need for him to debunk it.

Esports players are not very old, generally eighteen or nineteen years old. Ten years ago, they were bad teenagers in everyone's eyes, and it was a bit demeaning to say that they didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, but they were definitely problem characters.

Doing things their own way, doing things as they please, ignoring the feelings of others, being reckless about the consequences, not knowing how to behave and so on, these are the labels of most of them. To put it bluntly, it is low emotional intelligence.

Niu Wensong's performance in recent days is very different from other players, after winning the game, he gave the credit to his teammates, gave the lineup results to the coaching staff, and today he talked and laughed with Brother Feng and others.

This kind of emotional intelligence simply throws off most contestants more than ten streets. Taking the other GG team members as an example, except for Xiao Shrimp, who dared to say a few words from time to time with his old qualifications, Ai Qiyi and others remained silent throughout the whole process. That's the gap.

After arriving at the lounge to tidy up their things, a staff member came over after a short time to explain what they needed to pay attention to at the opening ceremony.

For example, which passage to enter, where to stand, how to greet the audience, etc., should be discussed in advance.

Niu Wensong, Xiao Shrimp and the others stopped what they were doing and listened attentively. At this time, I didn't dare to play any personality in front of tens of millions of viewers around the world. A smooth and steady passage of the opening ceremony is a success.

The staff didn't leave after speaking, and he was responsible for guiding the GG team to the field to be cheered on - and like the teams, the organizers didn't want any surprises.

Because there were outsiders, Xiao Shrimp and the others were not embarrassed to make trouble, so they sat aside and whispered about the game.

The organizers didn't make everyone wait long, and soon the staff were notified that it was GG's turn to play and asked them to get ready.

There's not much more to say about the rest. When the host shouted the name of Team GG, Holo led everyone to their team's position on the field. Beckoned and said hello to everyone, and the rest was nothing to do with them.

After the host's introduction, everyone left the venue and returned to their lounge in order.

The first round of the group stage of the S6 World Finals has officially begun.
