Chapter 106: I'm 17 years old world runner-up, what about you?
August 27th.
The eyes of all League of Legends players in China are focused on Wukesong Stadium in the imperial capital.
For the League of Legends project, this year can be said to be the most critical year, and the S competition is held at home for the first time.
Coupled with the poor performance of the LPL teams in the S5 and S6 seasons in the past two years, it can be said that the morale of the entire division has fallen to a low point.
The entire region needs someone to bring them hope, and this matchup in the Summer Finals will determine which team will be the one who will bring hope to the region.
"There are really a lot of people." Liu Mengmeng looked around, and there was already a sea of people at the entrance, and there were many people who came to the scene to buy scalper tickets at a high price, just to be able to enter and see this wonderful showdown.
Fortunately, today's day is beautiful, and it is not particularly hot, Liu Mengmeng, who has short hair, deliberately wore a sky blue and white JK suit, which is very in line with all the players' imagination of e-sports sweet girls, and many boys in the crowd in the queue will secretly look at her is the best proof.
Su Mengqing on the side was dressed a little plainly, with simple denim shorts and a white top, a thin light-colored coat on the outside, long hair tied up, and a cute ball head.
"Definitely, RNG itself is very popular, and IG has gained a lot of popularity this summer." Su Mengqing smiled.
RNG won the Spring Split last year and defeated SKT in the subsequent MSI group stage with an 8-2 record, and although they lost to SKT in the later elimination, the audience in the region believed that they were still young and had room to rise, and then brought in the popular player Uzi.
In S7, it began to market the concept of 'all-Chinese class', and it can be said that the popularity in China is second only to EDG, and it is even higher than the popularity of WE.
"Hey, what's the use of being popular, anyway, you're here to cheer for Xiao Li." Liu Mengmeng said teasingly, "If this is explained by our fan circle culture, you are poison only!" β
"Can't you? I'll just support Xiao Li, what's wrong! Su Mengqing has been ridiculed many times, so she is simply a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
In the face of other people's ridicule, the more you refute and explain, the more energetic people will play tricks, but facing it calmly is the best way.
"So, the advantage of being a poison only is that people deliberately give you infield tickets."
Li Feifei specially asked Su Xiaoluo for a few more tickets, one was for his parents, and the other was to send 3 tickets to the little rich woman, although with the little rich woman's family background, even if she didn't send the tickets, people could buy tickets.
But one yard is one yard, people can not want it, but they can't not send it.
This incident made Su Mengqing happy for a while, and she dreamed with a smile on her face.
There are a lot of people in line, and all kinds of discussions come and go, which seems to be very noisy.
After Su Mengqing and Liu Mengmeng checked their tickets and passed the security check, they entered the interior of the stadium, Wukesong is not an open-air stadium like the Bird's Nest, and this side itself is used as a venue for basketball games.
At the same time as the light dimmed, under the action of air conditioning and cold air, the temperature in the stadium was at an optimal comfortable temperature, not hot, not cold, just right.
"Let's go get the things we need first."
After coming in, Su Mengqing pulled Liu Mengmeng forward, and the official deliberately placed a lot of cheering items for players and teams at the door, similar to shiny glow sticks, all kinds of cheering cards and the like.
Then one of them ran to get a soft bottle of drink.
Most likely, because of the influence of the 'Nongfu Spring' Cup in ancient times, they were not allowed to bring their own drinking water at the game site, for fear that the audience would throw things at the players on the stage.
It's a joke......
In fact, it is purely for the sake of safety, after all, it is a gathering of tens of thousands of people, and if there is a slight situation, it is a major accident.
It will be an absolutely devastating blow to the fledgling esports industry, so ...... The organizers of domestic events will pay special attention to safety issues and eliminate all hidden dangers in infancy.
At this time, there is still more than half an hour before the summer finals officially start, but there are already many spectators in the stands around them.
The main body of the stage is in the center of the arena, and it is divided into two from the middle of the stage, and the players' seats are facing each other, so if the players sit in their seats, they can directly see the opponents on the opposite side if they turn their bodies slightly to the side.
Directly above the players' seats, there are six large LED screens, which are suspended above the stadium to form a hexagon, so that no matter where you sit in the stadium, you can see the broadcast of the game.
Li Feifei provided infield tickets, which were very close to the players' seats, and those with better eyesight could even see the players' facial expressions directly.
After Su Mengqing and Liu Mengmeng sat down, they took out the previous support.
It is a banner printed with the image of Li Feifei's cartoon character, and there are also cartoon images of heroes he is good at using, such as mouse and Xia.
She gave Liu Mengmeng another thing, which was a support board, on which was a passage written by herself.
βmortalοΌ I hope you can always shine like a star in the game! β
This is what she gave to Li Feifei when the two chatted the day before yesterday.
"Tsk...... I went to see my idol's concert site, and I didn't have all the preparations for you. Liu Mengmeng smacked her lips, "But there are indeed many people cheering for Xiao Li, I saw a lot of younger sisters in the audience cheering him up." β
"Isn't that normal?" Su Mengqing didn't take it to heart, "I'm not the only one who likes to play cultivation games. β
Li Feifei's age is too young......
At the age of 17, it is almost difficult to find someone younger than him on the scene, and many female fans like him.
One is that the game is played well, the second is that the appearance is high, and the second is that it perfectly matches the image of the little milk dog brother in the girl's mind, and there is a kind of impulse and desire to develop!
The two of them chatted.
There were several middle-aged people walking in front of him, who were not as fanatical as esports fans, but looked a little confused in the stadium.
After all, judging by their age, the esports industry is completely unknown territory for them.
"And middle-aged people watching e-sports games?" Liu Mengmeng looked very surprised.
"What do you think? This should be the family of the IG players, right? Su Mengqing guessed, "Xiao Li should give us the player's family tickets, wouldn't his parents be in front?" β
"Hey, hey...... Would you like to go up and say hello? Maybe it's the future parents-in-law. Liu Mengmeng let out a strange laugh, and arched the fire in this crazy way.
In the dim environment, Su Mengqing's face turned red, and she couldn't help glaring at her, "What do you think?" Don't talk nonsense! β
Saying that, Su Mengqing's eyes were secretly scanning the few middle-aged people in front of her, and at this time, a voice suddenly sounded on the side and almost startled her.
"Hello, little girl, you like uh too...... This, this is called a motorcycle? It should be called a motorcycle, right? β
Su Mengqing turned her head and saw that a middle-aged woman with kind eyes was sitting next to her, probably not knowing much English, Leng called mortal a motorcycle, but ...... As far as Chinese and English are concerned, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it.
"Yes, Auntie...... Do you like him too? Su Mengqing nodded.
"That's for sure!" The middle-aged woman smiled happily and looked proud! "This is my son! Do you think I like him or not? β
Bang bang bang!
Su Mengqing suddenly felt that her heart began to beat violently, and her brain had lost her ability to think directly, and she looked at Yang Xiumei in a daze.
It's actually Li Feifei's parents??
The ticket he gave himself was actually sitting next to his parents, is this implying something?
In a flash.
Thousands of questions flashed in Su Mengqing's mind, almost burning her CPU.
Yang Xiumei didn't notice this, she still looked around, and then she was very satisfied, "There are so many little girls who like and support our family!" Yes, yes, I will definitely not worry about not being able to marry a daughter-in-law in the future. β
"You too! It's all here, why do you have a straight face? But the son competes in the five pines! Who in our hometown can do this? Isn't your son much better than you? β
"Why are you talking about this in a place like this?" Li Jianguo was very helpless, "I have to laugh like you, and talk to other girls, so that I can look normal?" β
"I don't like to go out with people like you." Yang Xiumei looked disgusted, so she simply ignored him, but looked at the stage, "Why can't you come out of the extraordinary." β
"Ahem, auntie......" Su Mengqing finally reacted, she took the initiative to explain, "There are still about ten minutes before the official start of the game, and there will be a short opening ceremony at that time, and Xiao Li will have to wait at least another 20 minutes before he will come on stage." β
"Xiao Li? Huh! Little girl, do you know our extraordinary family?? β
"Hmm." Su Mengqing nodded.
"Good, good! Then tell me how this stinky boy is doing outside, have you got a girlfriend? This stinky boy doesn't usually call home much, doesn't tell us anything, and we parents don't know anything about him. β
All right.
Su Mengqing's CPU was burned again, she actually didn't know much about Li Feifei, the two chatted hotly on the Internet, but they had never met in private.
Fortunately, at this time, the lights of the scene suddenly dimmed, and a group of dancers appeared on the stage, which was obviously the beginning of the performance of the opening ceremony, and at the end of the dance.
A deep male voice suddenly sounded in the stereo.
The candidate who was invited to be the host of the League of Legends finals this year is still Pete Ju, a sports channel played by Nuo Lan in "Love Apartment".
With all the lights shining on him, dressed in a dark blue suit, Pete Ju held up the microphone, "Summoners live and watching the live broadcast, how are you!" β
He was greeted by the screams and cheers of tens of thousands of spectators!!
When Yang Xiumei's group of middle-aged people saw this kind of scene, they were immediately stunned.
"This is Wukesong Gymnasium! The 2017 League of Legends Pro Summer Championship will be announced here. I'm Pete Ju. β
"I'm happiest at this time of year because I've been there for the past five years and I'm not going to miss it this year."
Due to the time constraints, Tencent deliberately puts the annual anniversary celebration and the summer finals on the same day, making this day an annual celebration moment for League of Legends summoners.
"Of course...... Everyone is definitely not here to see me, everyone is very concerned and curious, who can represent our LPL region in the World Championship as the No. 1 seed this year, and the candidate will be born between the two sides of today's game, IG and RNG! β
"Next, we will use a short video to give you a better understanding of one of today's participating teams, Team RNG!!"
The edge of the stage.
In fact, the players on both sides have already been waiting at the entrance of the passage.
On the screen used to broadcast the content of the game, a promotional video shot before the game will be played.
Each of the five members of the RNG team has a close-up shot of each of them posing in a different pose, followed by a slice of the action in the game.
At this time, the staff motioned for the RNG people to walk to the stage.
Uzi walked at the front of the queue and led the other four members of RNG to the stage, and the RNG fans immediately burst into applause and cheers!!
"Hell! Brother Moe! There are so many people, no one will be scared and their hands will tremble, right? Li Feifei deliberately teased.
"You think they're all like you?" King Ning rolled his eyes, "My parents are in the audience, I have to perform well today!" β
"Who isn't?" Li Feifei rolled his eyes.
This time, IG can be said to have made a bloody investment, not only the parents of domestic players have been invited, but even the parents of three Korean players have been invited to China to watch the game.
It can be said that ......
For this summer championship, IG is a must!!
Li Feifei mainly wants to liven up the atmosphere, he really has nothing to be afraid of, with the system in hand, he will always be in the best condition.
On the stage, after asking the RNG players to line up, Pite Zhu spoke again, "Next, let's get to know another participating team, Team IG!" β
With the same specifications, the five contestants all have close-ups, and Li Feifei is still in the same pose as in the previous makeup photo.
The left hand holds the right hand, the right hand gestures to a pistol pose, then turns the head sideways, closes the left eye, and takes an aiming stance.
This action is very much in line with the positioning of the shooter hero.
Yang Xiumei looked at Li Feifei in the picture and was very pleased, but the next second it turned into a fright!
Su Mengqing, who was sitting next to him, screamed directly when she saw Li Feifei appear on the stage, and kept waving the support banner in her hand.
Good fellows, is this the passion of young people!
It's not just Su Mengqing, almost all the female fans on the scene are so fanatical!
Girls seem to be more accustomed to expressing their inner emotions directly than more introverted boys.
γRush Rush Rush! RNG Rush Duck! IG! γ
[The dog Ming combination is invincible in the world, and the best newcomer in J8 is not worth mentioning! ] γ
[Laugh to death GSL to collect the taste, the more happy you dance now, the more miserable you will lose later.] γ
[Broiler chickens don't dry up and pop little tigers? ] γ
[Come on, Brother Extraordinary! GSL! Labor and management depend on their displeasure! γ
"Excellent! It can be seen that everyone is looking forward to this matchup, but ...... Before the bout, both players seemed to have something to say to each other. Pete Ju gave an ambiguous smile.
"Let's take a look! What do both sides have to say? β
The director switches shots again.
In fact, it is the trash talk that both sides are looking forward to.
The first person to appear in the camera was RNG's assistant Shi Senming, "My advantage should be that I have puppies, right?" Everyone knows that puppies are very capable of being online, so it can also be seen that I am also very strong in the lane. β
As soon as the camera flashed, it came to Baolan, who was also an assistant.
"Lao Li's words are younger than Uzi's, so he reacts faster, and his personal ability is also very strong, my words should be a little more versatile than Xiao Ming, and I have more experience in the arena, so ...... I don't think we have a problem beating RNG's bottom lane. β
Then came the top orders of both sides.
Letme was clearly a bit restrained, saying, "My teammates are very strong, so as long as I hold the line, we can win easily." β
"In my opinion, Letme is a very solid player, he doesn't seem to have any flaws, but again, he doesn't have any strengths. β
When I came to the jungler position on both sides, the smell of gunpowder was a little stronger.
"I see that netizens say that Ning is very aggressive, so today I will let you know what a real carnivorous offensive jungler is, wild monsters, human heads, champions! Children make choices, I want them all!! The spicy pot made a fist-clenching motion.
And King Ning was not to be outdone, "When I talk about domestic wild kings on the Internet, I am either the factory director, or the spicy fragrant pot and Kandi, I have always wondered where I am worse than them? So...... Today I am going to prove that when I mention the domestic wild king in the future, my name Gao Zhenning will definitely be able to occupy a seat! β
On the contrary, the trash talk between Xiaohu and Song Yijin has no offensive power against each other.
And when the camera showed Uzi, the audience broke out in cheers and applause again, after all, in the minds of many people, Uzi is the uncrowned king in their minds, even if he doesn't have a champion, but purely in terms of personal strength, he is the strongest ADC in their minds!
In the picture, Uzi smiled, "I have watched mortal's games, and he is indeed a very talented player, and he is worthy of the name of genius ADC, but ...... Who hasn't been born as a genius ADC? I was 17 years old and the world runner-up! Mortal still has a long way to go, the future belongs to him, but today! I'm bound to win this championship!! β
Such an arrogant and domineering statement once again ignited the enthusiasm of fans!!
In any case, the best result of domestic e-sports players so far is indeed the S world runner-up won by Uzi in the two years of S3 and S4, and since then it has been worse year after year, falling in the quarterfinals every year.
As for age.
If you really want to be more serious, Uzi was definitely not 17 years old during the S3 period, but in order to comply with the regulations, he must change his words and say that he won the world runner-up at the age of 17.
Soon!
The camera switched to Li Feifei's side, and Li Feifei was also smiling.
"Uzi is 17 years old and world runner-up? That's really good, but why not a world champion? Don't you want to take it? There is no point in talking about past honors, the same 17 years old, his 17 years old has everything in the coffin, and mine 17 years old is still full of all possibilities! I think in next year's trash talk session, I can say the phrase I am 17 years old league champion, world champion!! β
This is a word!
It also ignited the flame in the chest of the audience again!
Mad!
But that's what young people should be!
If you don't have the heart to win the championship, how can you deserve the honor of the championship?
Only those who promise will not be able to win the championship, but they must have a momentum of giving up their own people to make themselves not afraid of fighting and not having stage fright!
[Aggressiveness is full! ] GSL takes a world runner-up every day as an honor. γ
[That's it!] The world's No. 1 blaster ADC, after so many years of competition, what honor is there? γ
[Laugh to death!] The puppy finally won the world runner-up at the age of 17, but what about Li Feifei? can only fight in the country. γ
[I'm in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, GSL is in a hurry, the master of GSL is 17 years old, and our extraordinary brother is still full of possibilities! ] γ
[The more trash you talk, isn't it more rubbish? If trash talk were everything, Ming Kai would have been a World Champion a long time ago, right? γ
[Classic pig to save the dog? GSL also means pinching. γ
No doubt!
The offensive words between the ADCs on both sides completely ignited the smell of gunpowder between the supporters of both sides!
on stage.
Seeing what Li Feifei said in the short film, Uzi's face seemed to become a little more 'ruddy' than before, although there was still a slight smile on his face, but this smile was stiff no matter how he looked at it.
"! Lao Li ...... How dare you say it? King Ning muttered quietly beside him, "You're not afraid that Uzi will directly transform into a bedroom Uzi, and I'll give you a jio when I come up?" I'm afraid you're not going to be kicked out by Uzi. β
"It's not you, it's okay, I'll run fast and hide behind you." Li Feifei smiled and waved his hand disappretently, "Doesn't the trash talk link have to be aggressive to interfere with the mentality of the other side?" Or what kind of trash talk are you talking about? β
"That's what you say...... But you kid is really aggressive. King Ning snickered, "Uzi seems to have a murderous look in your eyes!" Hahaha, he seems to have been warmed by you, you kid's trash talk is really good, how do I feel that I can try to catch a wave of level 2? Uzi is going to kill you. β
"Then come on, we'll see you in the game!!" Li Feifei is not afraid at all!
The main thing is his sentence 'Why don't you win the world championship, don't you want it?' It's really too sassy.
Pete Ju saw that the atmosphere of the scene had been stirred up.
He smiled and said, "Good! This is a life-and-death struggle, and the players on both sides should show such fighting spirit!! β
"Who will win the championship title of the LPL League of Legends Summer Pro League, and who will represent the region as the No. 1 seed in the LPL region in this World Championship, the next games will reveal the answer to us! Let's witness this duel between the two sides!! β
More to come
