Chapter 3 Opening Day
On the day of the opening day, the H city e-sports stadium 'door' was crowded with people, most of them were the faces of Chinese players, but there were also a large proportion of foreign friends who came thousands of miles to experience this prosperous era, H City dispatched a large number of armed police to ensure the order and safety of the entrance, the admission personnel not only had to accept the authenticity of the 'door' ticket, but also a number of police dogs in the vicinity to check drugs or explosives.
For these links, it has already been notified to all the audience who bought tickets, so the audience did not have any 'commotion' and 'chaos', and entered in strict accordance with the procedures, but some fake tickets were really tested, fortunately, although the ticket price was high this time, but the anti-counterfeiting was also good, and the audience who was checked out stood aside in frustration, basically all of them were 'spending' scalper tickets purchased at a high price, but they didn't know how to check the authenticity.
For these people, the organizer has no good way to deal with them for the time being, but if the admission rate is not 100%, or you can send it to the side hall to watch the live broadcast, but the main hall will never be released.
Tens of thousands of ticket checks and verifications were carried out from morning to about 10 o'clock, and tens of thousands of people were checked and verified, in order to ensure absolute safety, and they were also responsible for the audience who came at a high price.
After entering the hall, they each entered with the 'door' ticket with the number of several halls, among which the most popular cheerleaders are still fans of the T team, Lan Lie led the scale of the team this time, there are 1,000 people, and through ticket exchange and other ways, the thousand irons are put together, unified costumes, unified cheering props, and the black pressure is huge.
Lan Lie, who walked in the forefront, looked arrogant, home, who doesn't know the name of Brother Lie in the east of the city, and he is tall and big, and he looks like an underworld, waving the battle flag of the T team in his hand, and rushing into the field with murderous spirit, so that many people are sideways, Lan Lie doesn't care about that at all, since jumping into this pit, Lan Lie doesn't take his little brother to step on people now, in addition to taking care of his own field, the rest of the time is to play games and watch videos, although he is not a master now, but it is not bad.
The uniforms of the T team have also been changed, including the uniforms of the other two teams, all of which have been renovated, in fact, they have not changed much, mainly because the sponsor's logo is more conspicuous, and each team member's uniform has an additional five-star red flag on the left 'chest', representing the Chinese team.
After Lan Yu and others got the new team uniforms, they all put their hands on the red flag on the 'chest', this kind of pleasure of being able to play for the country is really too exciting, and there is no need to do pre-war mobilization at all, as long as you think about the five-star red flag on the 'chest' during the game, you can raise unlimited power.
Although as the landlord of H City, today's opening match is from another game, the OMG team against the LMQ team in Group A, the LMQ team is also a Chinese player, but it has won the right to participate in North America, although it is not a derby with the same country, but there are still some small differences in the hearts of the audience.
Also starting at the same time is the fourth group of SK teams against the wild card team PG teams from Brazil, but who is concerned? There are not too many people, and the main hall must hold the most watched game, otherwise it will be sorry for the ticket price that is nearly double that of other venues.
In order to be able to concentrate the audience to the greatest extent, this game will not be carried out in four groups at the same time, basically the more concerned games are placed in the main hall, and the secondary games are placed in other venues, at most two games at a time, if there are also concerned games, one by one, other venues are broadcast live simultaneously, and only the voice of the Chinese commentary can be sounded synchronously in the whole stadium, and the other games are transmitted back in real time by the broadcast commentary through the headphones, and in order to ensure the quality of the recording, each broadcast station has a soundproof room, You can let some 'exciting' explanations shout as much as you want.
The opening ribbon-cutting ceremony, the scene to a lot of H city and provincial leaders, the opening routine to speak, but very brief, but also know that this is a battlefield for young people carnival, some old men just came to help express their concern and support, and then with Chen Chuxiao and Wang Yan and leaders at all levels synchronously cut off the red 'flower' ribbon, the world finals officially began, the scene resounded with a tsunami of applause and cheers, especially the Chinese audience is holding their breath to cheer for the OMG team in the opening game.
And this also has a kind of competition and show off ingredients, the previous world finals were basically held abroad, the Chinese team did not enjoy the home treatment, and now came to China, let foreign friends feel the enthusiasm of the Chinese team, sure enough, cheers, countless foreigners as if frightened to turn back, who said that only South Korea's e-sports environment is good, in the H city e-sports stadium, the Chinese audience has the enthusiasm and momentum that is not lost to the whole universe.
The OMG team walked up to the stage, the cheers escalated again, the five team members' chests were also with the five-star red flag, and their hands pressed the red flags on the 'chest' mouth to bow to the audience, the OMG team is a frequent visitor to the World Finals, and it is also the only team of the Chinese team that has defeated the South Korean team in the group stage of the World Finals, and it is the world champion of the year, if it is not for the regret in the quarterfinals, the Chinese team's other representative team, the Royal Team' In the draw, many people speculated that the OMG team might have a chance to win the World Championship that year.
Time has passed, but the OMG team is standing on this stage again, and although everyone tries to appear calm, the flame of revenge in the depths of their eyes begins to burn.
The opening ceremony of the opening day was very long, including the famous "'flower' language 'girl' group" in H City's "fine" color cosplay performance, Lin Nianwei, who had a relationship with Lan Yu, appeared in a classic Caterina style, and her movements and faces were extremely sweet, causing bursts of cheers.
After the praise is over, it is time for today's main stage, the two sides decide the order of the battle by tossing a coin, and the OMG team gets the blue 'color' side, and they need to roll it again in the last game, of course, if they kill the opponent 2-0, there will be no such link.
The opponent of the OMG team is the LMQ team, although the latter is also a Chinese team, but the cheers are much weaker, after all, the latter is representing the North American region, but the two sides on the stage are still very friendly to hug and greet, both for the dream, it doesn't matter where it is realized.
The T team sat in the front row quietly feeling the atmosphere of the scene and paying attention to the performance on the stage.
In the first game, the blue 'color' side of the OMG team got a strong lineup of bullheads, weapon masters, lux, hammerstone and male guns, while the opposite LMQ team got a combination of clockwork, vio, keg, and Lucian Gabloon.
The first game of the two sides was very anxious, because it was the first game of the opening game, neither side wanted to make mistakes, but the OMG team played stronger, and the tactics and playing style that were practiced with the T team and the EDG team were also effectively played, and they showed a strong suppressive force from the mid-term, although the LMQ team's response was good, but being taken by a team like the OMG team undoubtedly ended the game.
Although the LMQ team relied on a strong promotion flow style to occupy a place in North America and even grabbed a place in the World Finals, it was still a little worse in the face of the OMG team.
In the second game, the two sides changed sides and continued, this time the LMQ team had an advantage in the BP link, and got Cassadine, the performance of this game was good, through Cassadine's strong performance to bring up the rhythm, and in the later team battle, it was a single flank breakthrough that directly knocked out the OMG team's ADC in seconds, so that the OMG team was unable to open a group, and could only retreat step by step by the LMQ team to gradually beat back the disadvantages in the early stage, and finally successfully turned the tables and grabbed the next game.
Although winning the second game gave them better morale, the T team and other professional teams in the audience could see that the OMG team was still in order even in the headwind, which the EDG team and the T team knew best.
Unsurprisingly, in the tiebreaker of the third game, the OMG team came up with Team T's favorite second-tier four-player lateral boost tactic, which has only been used by some of the top teams in China and South Korea, so the LMQ team was unprepared and was caught off guard.
The OMG team's free rhythm shocked many foreign audiences, and even the commentators in North America and South Korea praised the OMG team for becoming more mature and competitive after such a long time of baptism and training.
In the third game, the OMG team led with an absolute economic advantage from the early stage, and then successfully blocked the LMQ team's counterattack, and finally the game time of this game was only 24 minutes, and in the current version tends to be late, the OMG team successfully played an early situation, and won the opening match with three points first.
The cheers at the scene were deafening, how many boys and girls were hoarse and tearful, all of them were players who had loved this game for a long time, although it was only a group stage, but the dominance shown by the OMG team still raised infinite hope in their hearts.
World champion? Maybe even this year.
A match in Group D was also decided, with SK from the mid-range of Europe winning the Wild Card 2-1 against the Brazilian PG team, which entered the World Finals.
In fact, it is said that it is a group of death, and it is basically based on the ranking of the opponents in each group in their own region, but strictly speaking, the form of Group A where the OMG team is located and Group C where the EDG team is located is not so severe.
Although Group A has a good performance in the summer tournament of the Korean KTA team, there are also two teams like LMQ and FNATIC, especially the latter, although it was also a king team, but this season's performance is really poor, the OMG team can take points from these two teams, and Group C also has TPA and C9 teams, although the C9 team is the well-deserved boss in North America, but the EDG team is not weak, and there is a good chance to grab two wins to advance.
Only the B group of the T team, with the first in South Korea and the first in Europe, and the other relatively weak team is still their old friend, their game is really difficult to play, and it also makes many people who care about the T team sweat.
On the first day of the opening day, each group has to have a game, but during the break in the middle, the teams without a game can choose to participate in various heads-up matches and doubles matches, which can be regarded as bringing a little 'excitement' to the bored waiting audience.
Chen Chuxiao and Wang Yan undoubtedly participated in the two-person challenge, and the two of them also 'took time' to go to another venue to see the performance of other teams' heads-up matches, because it is basically entertainment-oriented, and there are no too valuable prizes, just a small trophy, so everyone is basically entertainment-oriented, and the expressions of each participating team member are very relaxed and happy.
The next two games will be played in a single-game mode, because both games have the participation of the Chinese team, which is the home of the Chinese team, so it is natural to take care of the emotions of Chinese fans.
