Riot HQ.

"MSI, how's it going?"

The chief designer paced and walked over.

"It's going well so far, and there aren't many bugs in the game."

Someone immediately replied.

"I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about the number of people watching MSI."

The chief designer was a little dissatisfied, emphasized.

"To be honest, it's kind of ...... Not as good as it could be. ”

"Except for the LPL competition areas where we can't count statistics and need data provided by Tencent, the expectations of all major regions for this MSI are not high."

"Especially in Europe and the United States, the number of spectators is even declining."

"Why?"

The chief designer frowned.

"A lot of people have reacted that the current version is a bit too boring."

The Riot staff in charge of operations sighed,

"In the current version, the average game time per game is thirty-five minutes backwards, and it is often a big late wave of groups, and the front has been developing."

"They're a little sleepy watching a game like this."

"Huh?"

The chief designer was stunned,

"Wouldn't it? I watched yesterday's K1 game. ”

"They're a team that we're more concerned about, aren't they playing at a fast pace? Also passionate. ”

"Yes, but you know, K1 is different."

"They're the only team that plays with such a beautiful and aggressive rhythm in the early stages, and the other teams are very different from K1."

The staff said helplessly

"K1 does not represent the overall level of MSI this time."

The chief designer fell into deep thought

"Is that so?"

"Yes, with the exception of K1, there are almost no teams that can finish the game thirty minutes ago."

The staff replied in the affirmative.

The chief designer was silent for a while

"Okay, I'll talk to the higher-ups."

It was night, a meeting, and it was held.

Some people have proposed to speed up the version and speed up the confrontation of the game, so as to attract more people to watch the game.

But others believe that if they do this, an already strong early team like K1 will eat too much version bonuses, and the fairness of the game will be lost.

K1 is one of the teams that Riot focuses on, and if it rushes to speed, wouldn't it be hand-picked K1 to win the championship?

That's not what Riot wants to see.

What they want to see is more of a strong match, not a single one.

This kind of competition can be more attractive.

Otherwise, if you know who wins and loses before every game, and you can only expect an upset, it will be too suspenseful.

This kind of game is not good-looking.

In the early stage of K1, they have a bit of a mouse-bogey.

In previous years, Riot didn't target any team too much, they would just suddenly send away a few lucky teams in a big wave.

For example, the meat tan version of the S5 Summer Championship suddenly changed to a single version in the World Championship.

For what? It is to make the final championship battle more suspenseful!

But this year, the issue conflicted.

Because K1's style of play is the audience's favorite way to play.

They just love this kind of bloody game.

If you continue to tune the version backwards, the tempo continues to slow down.

The purpose of K1 weakening has been achieved, so what about the number of people you watch?

That's where the fist gets tangled up now.

After all, a game still has to be eaten by popularity.

A small number of spectators indicates that it is going downhill.

Xu Ruoguang didn't know anything about the entanglement on the fist's side.

What he believes in is that soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, no matter what you do with the version, I really can't just play with the version?

Aren't my teammates worth trusting?

In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.

There are still three hours left before the start of the match against SKT.

Xu Ruoguang put on the K1 black team uniform, straightened the cuffs of his jacket in front of the mirror, and showed a smile.

It was a good day.

Follow the team to the playing field.

There's a reason why I came so early, because I had to record some interviews from the outside world.

Xu Ruoguang walked into the recording studio, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.

"Host Eun Jing?"

"Inside, it's me."

Eun Jing waved at him happily,

"Long time no see, Emperor."

Xu Ruoguang walked up to her and nodded slightly.

"Long time no see, is Eun Jing hosting this LCK expatriate interview?"

"Well, it was originally someone else's, but I've been a little idle lately, and people can't stay a little bit, so I thought about it and came over."

Eun Jing winked playfully,

"Was there a pleasant surprise?"

Xu Ruoguang smiled slightly,

"There are some, mainly acquaintances, I haven't seen them for so long."

"Okay, there's no need for extra greetings, are you ready for the Emperor? Okay, let's start the interview now, shall we? ”

Eun Jing said with a smile.

"yes, okay."

Xu Ruoguang nodded.

The camera came over and focused on the two men.

Zhao Enjing quickly switched states.

She is a very serious host, and after entering the work state, it is not the same as usual.

Put on a business smile and say to the camera,

"Today we have Emperor from the K1 team, who used to play for our LCK team SKT, and is also the core player of the K1 team in this MSI."

"Emperor, would you like to say hello to the fans in Korea?"

Xu Ruoguang smiled slightly,

"Hello everyone, long time no see, I'm the Emperor."

As for the Korean fans...... It's a bit surprising that I still have Korean fans, but thank you for liking it. ”

"Okay, then I would like to ask Emperor player, in this MSI, your goal should be the champion, right? What are your thoughts on SKT? ”

Xu Ruoguang nodded without thinking,

"Yes, we only aim for the championship."

"I think as a professional, chasing a championship is something you have to do."

"As for what you think about SKT, it's probably just to play hard, after all, I have a reason why I can't lose."

"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"

Eun Jing nodded,

"Then may I ask Emperor player, a few days ago you said that you should be careful with faker players, do you really think so?"

Xu Ruoguang was happy,

"Well, I'd love to win him, and I think he should have that idea too."

"This could be a match that proves who exactly is in C at SKT."

Eun Jing smiled,

"In that case, is the Emperor player confident now?"

"I'm confident in my own performance and I believe in my teammates."

Xu Ruoguang said slowly,

"I'm sure they'll be with me to win this MSI."

The next questions are also more formulaic, and Enjing pays attention to some sensitive issues, such as the tactical arrangement of K1 or something.

She didn't embarrass Xu Ruoguang.

"Okay, thank you Emperor for the interview, and I wish Emperor better and better."

She concluded with a smile and ended the interview.

Xu Ruoguang breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't like interviews very much.

Just when he said goodbye to Zhao Enjing and was about to go out.

Eun Jing suddenly called out to him.

"Xu Ruoguang."

"Huh?"

Xu Ruoguang turned his head suspiciously.

She smiled and asked,

"After the MSI is over, as the host, can you take me to visit Shanghai?"

"No, I've already promised Perkz."

Xu Ruoguang was a little stunned, and immediately replied calmly.

He smiled apologetically and walked out.

Leaving Eun Jing with a messy face.

perkz？

Who's that? It can't be the perkz I thought it was, right?

Am I inferior to him?

In the G2 training room, Ah P, who was training, sneezed.

"Coach, the air conditioner is too low!"
