Chapter 149 [Announce to the world that IG is back! 】
This is also the benefit of Mu Qiang's audience. As long as you have the strength to defeat them, cheers and applause will naturally be inevitable.
Hard-spoken? !
Doesn't exist.
The end of the game between IG and C9 announced the end of the first day of the global finals. When Chu Ge packed up his peripherals, the audience was already leaving the venue one after another.
When he walked off the stage, Vincent excitedly high-fived the team members and muttered, "Congratulations to the brothers for getting off to a great start, winning our first victory in the division, and perfectly reversing the domestic public opinion!"
Baolan asked curiously, "Brother Sen, what did the manager discuss with you? Is there anything about our players?!"
"What, you still want to increase your salary?" Wang Cheng looked at Baolan jokingly, "These are all matters at the club level, you can figure it out with your feet!"
Vincent did not deny it, but he did not directly answer the players' questions. Instead, he looked at Chu Ge who looked tired and said, "Director Dow, I will invite you to the main stage for a post-match interview later."
Chu Ge nodded.
Winning the MVP of this game and bringing all kinds of fancy operation shots to the audience, he was not surprised to be invited by Riot officials for an interview.
But...
Normally, he would have gone to the interview without saying a word, but now he just wanted to go back to the hotel quickly and lie in bed until dawn to regain his energy.
"Soon," Vincent and Chu Ge walked side by side towards the main stage and said softly, "The interview will be in English later. I will act as your temporary translator. If you have any questions, you can ask me first."
"Okay..."
Hearing this, Chu Ge was suddenly frightened and woke up.
The accident involving Vincent temporarily acting as a translator happened more than once. Almost every time, there was a big rhythm and the contestants took the blame.
Especially the English stream interviews are not like the post-match interviews within the LPL where the host and the players communicate the questions in advance, allowing the players to organize their language before answering.
The questions in this interview are completely random.
Even if Vincent translated it wrong, Chu Ge wouldn't know.
If I had known earlier, I would have refused...and could have gone back to sleep.
The two of them were sitting and waiting for the on-site PD. Chu Ge didn't have a mobile phone to play with, so he could only look around boredly, looking around at the environmental layout of the municipal auditorium and the three large screens on the side of the stage.
Although I didn’t know most of the words, it was slightly better than going to the toilet without my phone to look at the ingredient list of shampoo.
"Previously, you turned the game into a human-computer game, and public opinion has begun to reverse," Vincent lowered his voice. "When the sun comes up in China, with Riot China's momentum, you will completely become the focus of the entire LPL, especially you. .”
Chu Ge frowned and said doubtfully, "This is also the result of discussions between Riot China and the club management!"
Vincent was noncommittal.
Smart people speak to the point.
Chu Ge can roughly guess the deal behind the club and Riot China. There is a high probability that the Banana Project is about to abandon EDG and invest more resources in IG.
Increase IG's attention in this world championship through various channels, so that the audience's attention will be focused on the No. 1 seed of the LPL, completely diverging from EDG.
Especially me?
Chu Ge didn't understand this sentence a bit, but he could understand it if he changed clubs and invested resources. This is also a routine operation of muscle memory in the LPL.
What about individual players?
Apart from the god-making plan, Chu Ge really couldn’t think of anything else.
After the S6 global finals, it seems to be the transition point between the two gods, right?
Before Chu Ge could continue talking, he saw a tall European and American host wearing a cheongsam walking to the left of the two of them.
I have to say that apart from the fact that her face doesn’t fit Chu Ge’s aesthetics, Sjokz, the female hostess used by Riot Games, is very good at figure and temperament.
No wonder Chen Qingquan took the risk to go to Shanshui Manor to learn English hard even if he stirred up a big vat with a toothpick!
It’s really about learning and living until you are old!
"Welcome top laner Dow from IG to accept our post-match interview," Sjokz turned his head to look at Chu Ge and chuckled, "Say hello to our audience at the scene and in front of the screen."
After listening to Vincent's translation, Chu Ge picked up the microphone and waved confidently in front of the camera, "Hello everyone, I am Dow, the top laner from the IG team."
"First of all, congratulations on winning this game," Sjokz looked at the camera and asked, "This is also the first time for Dow to participate in the global finals. How does it feel?"
Chu Ge is naturally familiar with this kind of problem.
“Actually, I was a little nervous before going on stage, but I quickly got used to it after I walked onto the stage and sat on the gaming chair.”
"After all... I got this position based on my strength, why should I be nervous."
Vincent was upset when he heard the first half of the game. He felt that Chu Ge deserved to be a top laner, even his words were so flawless.
You can hear the second half...
What the hell is this little brat talking about!
However, he still upheld his professionalism and translated the words accurately.
Sjokz didn't pay much attention.
Post-game interviews in the LCS division are full of players who are more crazy than Chu Ge. Their fighting ability is nothing.
"Actually, I also went to Paris last year and served as a host, and I have some impressions of IG's lineup for last year's World Championship. I would like to ask the Dow player, was the selection of Riven planned in advance, or was it improvised by the team?"
Chu Ge held the microphone and said loudly, "They all have it. In fact, I also have Riven in private, but I can't show it very well. The Impact player also chose Kenan today. Riven just happened to restrain him, so the coach said to use it to try. Try.”
“After the competition, the effect was surprisingly good!”
"Of course, I also have to help clarify for our coaching staff. When we brought out this lineup for last year's World Championship, just as everyone thought, our IG came back!"
"The day the broken sword is reforged, the day the knight returns!"
After hearing what Chu Ge said, Vincent's pores stood up.
Speculating on the Internet and admitting it in person are completely different things. After all, there are always people who will try to speculate on other people's intentions with malicious intent, causing endless scoldings on the Internet.
Since I have fans supporting me.
Why not just admit it openly to your fans and let the white ones slap the black ones hard in the mouth?
What Chu Ge said was correct, and Vincent didn't make any mistakes either. He gave a complete and neat translation to the host.
Inside the Mouse Platform——
【Crazy! I, Smith, like this guy under his real name】
[It can only be said that C9 has tried its best. The No. 1 seed of LPL cannot be underestimated. The LCS casters should collectively apologize]
[Dow, the LPL players in my impression are really different. In the past interviews with LPL players in the global finals, they were all cautious in their words and deeds, which was completely boring]
[By the way, I read on the forum that the LPL top laners are all tanks like Big Tree Titan Poppy? Why does Dow use a violent hero like Riven? Am I being deceived? 】
【That's for sure! Dow is ranked second among top laners in the world by Riot Games, second only to Smeb. He cannot achieve this level of rating when playing tanks]
[I have added the IG game to my reminder list, and I look forward to this Avengers team going further! 】
After listening to Vincent's translation, the North American audience who had not yet left the venue burst into cheers again.
Very good, Chu Ge's little madness just hit their hearts.
Sjokz was also intrigued by Chu Ge.
He followed Chu Ge's words and continued to ask, "I remember that IG will face last year's old rival AHQ again in the next game, so will Dow players still use Olaf?"
Chu Ge was stunned.
Then he remembered last year's attitude of Olaf being matched by Ziv's Nuoshan and leading the game by 3500.
Good guy... I'm digging a hole for my brother!
Vincent also noticed it and winked at Chu Ge, hinting not to answer the question.
Chu Ge raised the corner of his mouth.
"Why not? I can not only take Olaf, but also let me take Noshou. Now that this gate has been opened, let's crush it all the way."
Vincent originally planned to translate on his own, but out of the corner of his eye he saw a faint smile on Chu Ge's face.
He got it!
This guy is completely misleading his opponent!
Being able to come up with an unconventional lineup is already the limit. This still bullies C9 to have a preconceived impression of IG. What kind of disturbance can a team that won two games in the group stage last year create.
There is no way. C9 is similar to other European and American teams. They don't care much about the affairs of the LPL division. They feel that they are useless except for expansion.
But through this game, IG has completely raised its profile. Others can no longer just stay there and wait for you to punch them.
What's more...
The proficiency of the two heroes Chu Ge, according to the system's ratings, is at most the same level as Dashu.
If he really knew how to do it, he wouldn't have been locked on the bench by EDG last year and wouldn't even have a chance to go to Paris. Sjokz asked a few more questions.
Chu Ge also answered smoothly.
It’s not clear whether Vincent brought the rhythm to Chu Ge, but after his words, the country will probably start scolding him for being arrogant again.
If there really is a group stage to go home.
Think about it, what kind of classic is it...
The Avengers in S6 collapsed in the middle, or... the broken sword was recast, and the result was a continuation of the dog's tail?
Chu Ge suddenly began to look forward to the domestic resistance after dawn.
After parting with Vincent, Chu Ge passed by the LPL interview hall and met Gao Zhenning who had just come out of the interview.
"What a coincidence, Pigeon," Prince Ning put his arm around his friend's shoulders and chuckled, "Why do I feel like a mysterious force has invaded my body after this game."
"Why, you've also rewatched "Fights Break the Sphere" recently, right," Chu Ge teased, "Uncle's Power, Third Stage!"
"Uncle?"
Gao Zhenning raised his eyebrows and ignored his friend's joke, but thought seriously, "Why is it Uncle Zhili and not Wang Zhili!?"
This question confused Chu Ge.
He can't say that you are called Uncle Gao by fans and audiences, and you also have a second and fourth half-brother, and even a third brother of a different nationality.
However, after you stretch your crotch, the power of the uncle in your body is taken away. It will not be until 2023 that the power of the uncle is regained.
"It's nothing," Chu Ge waved his hands guiltily, "The main reason is that he is an African foreign aid, and he is anxious to find someone older, especially if you and Baolan are together, who wouldn't call you Uncle Gao."
"Fuck..."
Prince Ning said speechlessly, "Brother, I am 18 years old, just a few months older than you guys. Calling me Uncle Gao... is actually not impossible."
"Come on, pigeon, uncle, listen to your cries," King Ning said, "Uncle will buy you some sweets later."
"Get out!"
Chu Ge rolled his eyes, opened the door and walked into the lounge.
The training team had already celebrated, but seeing Chu Ge and Ning Wang, everyone was obviously more excited.
Wang Boqin learned wisely. He did not use exaggerated movements to hug Chu Ge like the previous two times, but hugged Chu Ge lightly.
"Thank you, dove!"
Tabe's tone was very calm, and Chu Ge could clearly feel his body shaking, and the amplitude was not small.
It feels like Chu Ge.
It’s like being even more excited than winning the Summer Split!
Is this the legendary...
True joy, not making a fuss, but a smile from the bottom of your heart?
Chu Ge did not dodge. He hugged the assistant coach of his team hard and said softly, "This victory is also due to your own contribution. If you really want to thank you, you should first reconcile with the society and yourself."
After Wang Boqin was assigned the identity of e-sports Wang Jingwei last year, the pressure of public opinion and psychological pressure he endured is definitely something ordinary people cannot experience.
IG lost the game.
He must pay the price for his stupidity.
And if the responsibility is investigated, IG's head coach Chris is actually one of the culprits. He drank too much and told his team's secret tactics to his friend Tabe.
He told IG Kenan’s tactical secrets on AD play in the LCS studio. Under the circumstances, if the head coach receives the news from the studio, he will give you a ban directly.
Then it is not about being attacked by public opinion, or even ending your entire career, and it is not about taking the blame.
You can imagine how much pressure Tabe felt when he realized that it was his fault for exposing IG's tactics that led to the elimination of the team.
Only then did S6Tabe come back to play support on IG to atone for his sins.
The merits and demerits cannot be offset.
After joining IG in the latter part of this summer split, he worked hard to supplement version knowledge and study the data of major teams, which played a vital role in the construction of the entire team's training team.
Only he knows how much pressure is on Tabe
Now he can return to the game as BP coach and contribute his own efforts to help the team win its first victory in the global finals.
This is definitely very meaningful to Tabe.
"Don't just thank me," Prince Ning patted Wang Boqin on the shoulder and joked, "You can't treat pigeons to a good meal alone. I think beef noodles are good."
"You can't eat beef noodles!" Wang Cheng quickly dissuaded, "When Nami and I were rotating, this guy was obviously very strong in training, but he always lost his temper. He's so evil!"
"The stamina of this beef noodle is really great. It won't be able to slow down for two years. How many two-year peak periods can professional players have?"
Wang Cheng is still talking.
Little did he know that everyone else pushed the door open and left the lounge, leaving him alone to enjoy himself.
Return to hotel.
The coaching staff reviewed the game as usual and analyzed tomorrow's opponents.
An hour and a half passed.
Chu Ge was really tired.
When he got back to the room, he quickly took a shower and got into bed. As a result, he was able to wash away his sleepiness and was particularly awake in bed.
I wish I had the spirit of another Bo10.
After tossing and turning and unable to fall asleep, Chu Ge simply started playing with his mobile phone, thinking that it was already dawn in China, so he dove into the E-sports Louvre to see if he could have any fun.
Sure enough...
A headline on the front page read "EDG loses to wild card?" IG defeated European and American Lobi C9, and they actually boasted about the return of the Knights? This year’s three LPL teams will probably have to try their best again》
[If you’re not the original poster, what are you? EDG's losing wild card problem is really big and there is no need to wash it out, but IG, why are you talking nonsense? Can you please stop looking at the marketing accounts and make random cuts? 】
[It’s just like that, Dow deliberately played Riven to choose skins, right? The second generation of Wei Shen is scheduled]
[It made me laugh. The LCS caster and Director Dow both said that they deliberately used last year’s lineup to kill Tabe’s inner demons]
[Where did the inner demon come from? We are all human beings, but you are the only one who can't stand the pressure, right? Choosing a lineup randomly is no different from EDG. 】
[Trolls are really bad. Director Dow deliberately said this to catch you, but he really didn’t take the bait]
[Let’s wait and see whether IG can qualify in the group stage. It’s a team that doesn’t respect the version and won’t go far. 】
……
Chu Ge didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.
I get trolled even when I win... I get trolled even when I lose. It's not good to be too high-profile. If you're too low-key, you'll be accused of being possessed by EDG. It's really hard to serve!
So he turned off the anti-bar. He wanted to see what outrageous comments the xxn people on Weibo had contributed today, but he was called "husband" a few times.
But as soon as I went in and took a look, I couldn't stand it.
Who in the right mind would change the nickname ID in the Weibo super chat to [Brother Chu’s support fan group], [Is my husband carrying again on the road today?].
What’s even more outrageous is that a big blogger [Lulu Xuejie] with 220,000 fans left a message on the news feed saying that he would come to San Francisco to arrest Chu Ge and conduct an exclusive interview...
It’s against the sky!
After closing Weibo, Chu Ge logged into Dcinside, the largest e-sports forum on the Korean Net. He found the most popular post and clicked on it with great interest. He used Google Translate to read the comments on the Korean Net.
[I heard that in the LPL, Dow has a nickname called Director Dow. I heard that he used to be a director on their server]
【Xiba. It seems to be true! Today’s game against C9 has 0 kills and Linglong Tower. Those who bought the upset are making crazy money]
[In the first game of a single round, Director Dow really single-handedly raised the reputation of the entire LPL for a single lap]
[I feel like there is something wrong with Riot’s ranking. Dow feels like he can really compete with Smeb, but I still pray that IG can break through the group stage]
[We Korean Samsung must get the No. 1 seed status! After all, LCK’s No. 3 seed is greater than LPL’s No. 1 seed]
[IG got the Avengers script, and I think it’s a bit interesting this year! 】
There are quite a lot of comments about today on the Korean Net, but although most of them are positive, they are all about the awesomeness of the LCK team.
Chu Ge smiled helplessly.
Defeating C9 is really not worth making a fuss about. In the eyes of the LCK division, Europe and the United States are just trying to make a fool of themselves. They only come to gather 16 teams for the global finals every year.
After turning off the toilet, Chu Ge put down his phone and slept peacefully.
