Chapter 15 E-sports Bar
At 10:10 a.m., Minata Momoya departed from the doorstep of Saitama Prefecture, and after many transfers by the Tokyo Railway System, she successfully arrived at Akihabara, the mecca of anime, at half past seven.
LJL's commentary desk is located on the second floor of the UDX Anime Building in Tokyo, Akibad· The e-sports.square store of SKUARE (Akihabara Plaza).
At night, Akihabara is bustling with lights, and the streets are full of toy model shops and two-dimensional game posters displayed in electrical shopping malls, and passers-by rub shoulders with each other, and you can meet two-dimensional enthusiasts dressed in strange clothes everywhere.
Summergate didn't care about feeling Japan's two-dimensional culture, so she walked out of the subway and went straight to the commentary venue.
But don't look at LJL's stadium in the most luxurious area of Tokyo, and don't be deceived by the English name of the venue, the Japanese e-sports industry in 2015 is basically at the same level as Huaguo 2005, the so-called venue, not even the exclusive stadium of the LJL league, but a luxuriously decorated e-sports theme bar, the maximum capacity of the audience does not exceed 100.
The bar hosts a variety of esports tournaments, including arcade game tournaments, and when not playing, it is an esports-themed bar that is open for business, where guests can order drinks and drinks at the bar and play online games in the same seats as esports players.
Today's esports plaza obviously has no match schedule, and LJL has only rented a backstage broadcast studio to serve as a World Championship commentary platform.
After Mixia showed her LJL player ID to the working brother, she entered the bar smoothly...
Access to the Internet Café......
No, enter the venue!
The big screen of the venue turned to the live broadcast room of the League of Legends World Championship that day. Before the game began, the guests below were patiently drinking wine or playing with the computer, or holding a wine glass in one hand and operating the mouse with one hand......
People who take the initiative to come to the e-sports theme bar to spend money are basically one of the few e-sports enthusiasts in Tokyo, and there are many e-sports practitioners among them, so Mixia is different from walking on the streets of Akihabara, and she attracts a lot of attention as soon as she steps into the hall.
However, unlike the fanatical fan atmosphere in China, South Korea, or North America and Europe, although Mictsu Momoya is now very famous in the world, there are not many esports stars in the eyes of local esports viewers in Japan.
Someone took a picture with a mobile phone.
Someone greeted Summer.
Others came up and asked for autographs.
But these practices are more because of Meixia's good-looking appearance rather than the identity of an e-sports player, just like meeting a well-known local coser, although he will take the initiative to go up and ask for a group photo just V, but he won't care if he doesn't get v.
Summerhouse easily shook off the onlookers and pushed the door into the commentary room, where she was greeted by a narrow cubicle less than two meters wide, a long table that took up a third of the space, three computers and a camera on the table, and a plastic plate plastered with the LJL sponsor logo on the wall facing the camera.
Wearing black-rimmed glasses, the commentator was sitting in a suit and leather shoes, as if he had been waiting for a while.
"Buckle your machine digging! (Hello guys) eyes seniors! Mixia bowed and said hello.
"Welcome, Miss Mika, the commentary room is a little cramped, bear with me!" eyes bowed in response.
"Ah, that's okay. What about the revol seniors? Mei Xia asked, full of play in LJL for half a year, although the players generally do not have much contact with the host, but the only two commentators in the league, even if she doesn't specifically understand, it is difficult to remember the ID and appearance of the two.
"Oh, Revel went to buy coffee, FNC played EDG tonight, the strength of the two teams is close, I'm afraid it's going to be late!"
Well, it's going to take a long time.
But it has nothing to do with the strength of both teams.
FNC swept EDG 3-0, but the replay in the middle took more than an hour.
When Revol, the host who looked like RNG Shangshan Shenchao, came into the room with three cups of coffee, the signal from the European broadcast station was finally connected.
Before the game, the s5 World Championship theme song WorldCollide began to play, and the later theme song is close to showing off the animation MV, today's MV has neither cool special effects nor gorgeous pictures, but the group stage players are invited to do a short shooting work, plus simple special effects of crystal breaking and line movement, and then mixed with the group stage game close-up.
But even so, relying on the right rhythm of the picture and the song, it still made a shocking effect.
The number of barrages in the live broadcast room of the Japanese stream began to skyrocket, most of them were in English and Chinese, and the occasional few sentences of Japanese could be seen at a glance to be sent by non-native Japanese speakers.
“mika! mika! mika! ……”
"The game is about to start, and you can hear Mika-chan's voice right away!"
"I said, what if Mika-chan opens his mouth and it's a male duck's voice?"
"Get out!"
"Come on, EDG! EDG come on! ”
“letsgo! fnc! letsgo! fnc! ”
……
At the end of the three-minute MV, the footage of the Paris arena was finally given to the host, and the Japanese stream was also transferred to his own commentary seat.
"Buckle your machine digging!" Mixia bowed with the two commentators, and then introduced herself.
After reporting their commentators, Eyes opened their mouths to control the field, "I believe all the audience already knows, today we specially invited Mika, who has just finished the World Championship, to explain the game together!" ”
"Well, but what...... Miss Mika may be a little nervous because it is her first time participating in the commentary, and she also claimed that she couldn't explain when she invited Mika players before, so if she said the wrong thing, I hope you will bear with me. ”
The two hosts learned from the DFM chairman that Mika was very weak about being a guest of the competition, so they took the initiative to find a good step for her in advance.
Momotani Mixia appreciated, "Hmm...... I'm going to learn from the two commentators! Hope for a lot of advice! ”
After a few words of exchange, the two commentators unanimously sighed in their hearts, Mika is really a polite and humble player!
And with Meixia's appearance, the barrage in the live broadcast room ushered in an increase again.
"Mika-chan is saying hello to me! The voice is very good, and it matches her pure and lovely appearance. ”
"He looks like a simple junior high school student! It's not like Mika who killed faker alone with a small fishman like a single assassin in the game......"
"What is Mika talking about? Someone translates and translators! ”
"No, no, no, there won't be anyone who can't understand Japanese and come here to watch the game, right?"
Mixia Momoya looked at the familiar and unfamiliar barrage, the corners of her mouth were grinning, and she seemed to have returned to the happy time when she posted barrages on Teayu and Station B to communicate with netizens and anchors.
……
At this moment, on the playing field, EDG jungler Clearlove was faintly uneasy in his heart.
Before the end of the group stage, the reminder of Japanese player Mika was still in my ears, and the Chinese spit out in the soft and sweet language of the Japanese was like a fairy curse, and no matter what you did, you could not forget it.
"She told me to be careful with FNC, it must be a random guess! There is almost a 1 in 5 probability that the opponent of the knockout round will be blinded. "Clearlove steady.
"Mika is a Japanese stream commentator now, so I'm sure I'm watching this game too! I'll let you know that a European team like FNC is vulnerable to our LPL team! ”
His dead fish eyes looked at the camera, and his heart was full of fighting spirit.
