Chapter 168 [Feeling full before eating]
The Chicago Theater was filled with cheers and cheers, and the spotlights above the stage illuminated the area where the IG contestants were, and the cameraman wanted to take pictures of the contestants’ expressions.
On the three large screens used to broadcast the competition, IG's final makeup photos of the global finals were clearly displayed in front of the audience, and the huge 'Victory' victory logo spread out its silver wings.
Guan Zeyuan, who was in the commentary box, was still immersed in the joy of victory. The joy in his tone was conveyed to the hearts of every audience through the microphone.
"The last time we reached the semi-finals in LPL, it dates back to the royal family and the dark force OMG in S4. After a year of wasted time, we finally stood up again!"
"LPL viewers, our battle continues!"
"The next stop is Madison Square Garden in New York!"
Chu Ge took off his headphones and felt a little confused.
Is this what it feels like when the world is focused on me?
The staff members who were hunched over in front of the players' seats and holding up the camera accurately captured Chu Ge's expression, drooped eyelids, and listless expression.
It's like winning a game has nothing to do with him.
Feeling sleepy! ?
It was in sharp contrast to the three commentators' passionate shouts that broke their throats.
At this moment, the LPL audience couldn’t stop laughing——
[To be fair, hit a Lightning Wolf to make me sleepy. 】
[I’m really sleepy. I played like a big tree 0/0/0. I didn’t know but I thought the first half of football was over. 】
[Gegege, please pay attention to your health. Go to sleep when you feel sleepy. Sister’s big D is your most solid harbor! 】
[Really don’t overclock in the future, otherwise I feel like the top four, Director Dow just flattened the gaming chair, showing a wave of live broadcast sleeping! 】
[Check #Dow guide status, sleepy, strength reduced by 60%]
"Win, win," Prince Ning jumped happily and hugged Chu Ge tightly. Before he could cheer, he suddenly found that this guy's head was leaning on his shoulder.
"Wake up, brother!" Rookie also noticed that something was wrong, with a look of helplessness on his face. He and Ning Wang carried Chu Ge towards the FW player bench, "It's time for us to shake hands!"
"Ah, you want to eat pig's knuckles!?"
Chu Ge opened his eyes fiercely, and the black face of Prince Ning was clearly visible. The oily skin caused a face full of acne after staying up late for a long time, which was like the surface of the moon.
Okay, I'm not sleepy anymore.
I woke up with a fright.
In the FW contestant seats, everyone looked downcast.
When shaking hands, it was in sharp contrast with the happy faces of everyone on IG.
Chu Ge had no intention of communicating with them. After a simple handshake, he went to the front of the stage with the team members and bowed. The audience responded with warm applause in return.
There is no doubt about it.
IG's pursuit of the ultimate offensive style is very suitable for them.
Not only that, but what IG showed today also allowed them to see something deeper.
After Dow, the team's sharpest offensive blade, fell, when the light no longer covered the players, the other four players were still able to take over the game and step up.
This means that the players in each position of the IG team are relatively outstanding, and there are no major shortcomings, which means that they can go further.
According to the barrel effect, when you measure the strength of a certain team, you don’t look at the top person, but at how ridiculously powerful the shipbreaker with the shortcomings is.
Obviously.
Today's IG has not found any big shortcomings.
The most important thing is that since this IG entered the World Championship, the speed of attracting fans has simply exceeded the sky!
Their exciting attack style and their love of licking blood on the tip of a knife can always capture the audience's heartstrings just right and strike hard on the heart.
And with their current performance, they have already shown their championship appearance, and they are just short of defeating a strong enemy and completely establishing IG's spirit for this world championship!
In the field of traditional sports, there are very few teams that perfectly combine offense and winning games. Their extreme offensive power will lead to a low error tolerance rate, which will expose their flaws.
As a football star said:
"Offense wins games, defense wins championships."
Obviously, IG has perfectly combined these two points.
The MVP of the third game was given to Song Yijin.
In the three games, Chu Ge and Jax won the MVP bonus of 2,000 yuan. The other two players were in the middle and jungle respectively.
The overseas environment is different from the LPL. Relatively speaking, it will be a little fairer. Riot Games will not care too much about the popularity of a certain star player and show favoritism.
After all, from the perspective of the game side, except for the fair competition that does not affect the game, everything has nothing to do with him.
Guan Zeyuan chuckled and said, "I feel like after IG entered the knockout rounds, the strength of the team members has become more and more intense. King Ning and Rookie both performed very well!"
After all, this is a fast-paced version of the midfield, and there are generally fewer shots in the bottom lane. Whether it is auxiliary or AD functionality, the role is greater than the output capability.
"That's good," I remember nodding, fully agreeing with my partner's words, "A multi-core team will increase their fault tolerance rate when attacking. If one of them dies, other good brothers will take over the team battle."
"Besides... it's not that Dow can't play tank heroes, especially after seeing his big tree, I unexpectedly felt relieved to see EDG pick Maokai."
"I feel like he's sleepy..." Miss joked, "Look at his record. He didn't even participate in team battles, he just led the line. I think he shouldn't be called Dashu, but Twisted Sword Princess!"
Hear this.
Chu Ge, who had just arrived at the LPL interview room, woke up a little from his nap!
Shivering!
When will the big tree stand up?
Today Chu Ge was invited to participate in the LPL Chinese stream interview, which was not on the main stage, so the invited players also had free time to go to the lounge or bathroom for convenience.
Today's post-game host is Xiao Yu.
The two of them first roughly went through several questions for today's interview, and after confirming that they were correct, they stood in a fixed position.
After waiting for a while, when they heard the signal from the director in the headphones to access the live stream, Chu Ge and Xiao Yu waved to the camera.
After all, it was an interview in his own competition area. Chu Ge recalled that he used to watch the game in front of the screen like them, and felt inexplicably warm in his heart.
Where is the audience here? ! This is family!
"Easily defeated the opponent 3:0 and advanced to the semi-finals. How is player Dow feeling now?"
Chu Ge forced himself to cheer up, suppressing his sleepiness and smiling, "I'm very excited. I can feel the expectations of fans and audiences in our competition area are all on us, and I feel blessed by the power of faith."
"I know you may say, last year was obviously the most promising year, why was the power of our faith useless?"
Chu Ge covered his chest with his palms and said sincerely: "That's because I didn't come. This year is 2016. Our IG is living to death. Every time we make progress, we are creating team history."
"No matter what the final result is, in the next games, I will let everyone know that the LCK team is not terrible, nor is it invincible."
"Even if we end up being double-teamed by three LCK teams the day after tomorrow, we can still let them know what the full name of IG means!"
Xiao Yu nodded. He had long been accustomed to Chu Ge's passionate interview style. After calming down a little, he continued to ask, "In the next game, if EDG loses, they will meet Rox, the favorite to win the championship. What are the prospects for the Dow players?" ”
Chu Ge thought for a moment.
Facing Rox, they really had no good solution. The two teams had similar styles and roughly the same hero pool. It felt like I was going to defeat the other person in the world.
Lu Xun often said:
A person's biggest opponent is not others but himself!
But, if Chu Ge really hesitates during the game, this is an interview after all, and we can’t lose morale. “During the rankings, I sent a private message to their top laner Smeb, asking them to come over. .”
"By the way, I am actually a fan of Smeb personally, and I look forward to us meeting on the stage of Niu New York!"
Inside the LPL official live broadcast room——
【Let the horse go? It seems that my Dow director is from the Knights】
[Brother D, please stop saying harsh words. Just stay in this state and let alone fight RoxTiger. You may not even be able to beat EDG! 】
【What words! What did you say? My Dow guide is very tired from overclocking, okay? It will be full of energy tomorrow. 】
[Indeed, it is recommended to visit the Panda Star Show less often. You can catch your Dow every time in the VIP seats of various dance live broadcast rooms! 】
[Dow are you a fan of Smeb? The Brazilian jungler also said in an interview that he was a fan of the factory director, but he was beaten to pieces. Isn't this a different kind of declaration of war? 】
Is it okay to pick off Ming Kai's wool?
Mainly because when Chu Ge gets nervous, all kinds of things come to mind and he can't think of anything else, just like the more nervous he gets during an exam, the more lyrics come to mind.
After the interview, Chu Ge immediately returned to the backstage and packed up his things with his teammates and returned to the hotel to prepare for the celebration banquet.
He took a sip of iced Americano and prepared to wake himself up.
On the way back to the hotel, Chu Ge glanced at his phone. He responded to a large number of messages on WeChat congratulating him for reaching the semi-finals.
Seeing that his parents also sent a message, Chu Ge clicked it out of curiosity.
Huakai Fugui: [Son, you quietly went to Ermerike to play games? Is the internet speed in Shanghai poor? Do you have to run that far? 】
Don't bother me: [Your wings are stiff? Why are you going to the United States? I don’t want you to be a rich second generation, I want you to develop a spirit of hard work! Why are you running away from home and running so far away? 】
Chu Ge couldn't laugh or cry.
I quickly replied to the message to report that I was safe.
Afterwards, I simply went surfing for a while, and watched the incredible speech at the Louvre for a while, and suddenly I felt that my whole body was in better spirits.
I finally understood why Cao Mengde was so scolded by an article, but his headache was cured in the end.
It's actually harmless to be powered off occasionally.
Zhu Songge then announced his vacation, and spent the next two days concentrating on watching the BD two groups compete for the last two semi-finals.
But even if they are on vacation, no one wants to leave the hotel.
Originally, the hotel in San Francisco was within walking distance of the Municipal Auditorium, but when we arrived in Chicago, it was very close. As a result, Riot Games officials had to arrange a bus.
The security in Chicago is really ridiculously bad. Chu Ge originally thought that Vice City was completely fictional, but after experiencing it, he realized that it was adapted from real events.
There is an unwritten rule here. You can go out without a key, but you must always have $20 with you, otherwise you won't be able to take it out when the cotton machine sells his smelly socks to you.
What you will receive is a peanut reward.
Chu Ge was so frightened that he didn't dare to go to the competition venue alone tomorrow to collect wool. He had to understand and call Prince Ning emotionally, and then discussed with Vincent to get a car there.
The result was unexpected.
IG's training team collectively opposed it and refused to go out at all.
This is very embarrassing.
As a Chinese-American walking alone on the street, I am not allowed to be yelled at by Kuishang once every minute?
In the end, Chu Ge thought of a way and went to discuss with the coaching staff of RNG and EDG in advance, hoping to take their bus to the club.
Perfect! (End of chapter)
