Chapter 267 [Champion Skin Event! 】
"Everyone, please pay a little attention to your appearance," Su Xiaoluo reminded before leaving, "There will be a press conference from Station C, and it will be on TV!"
Hearing this, Chu Ge quickly looked in the mirror of the fire hydrant next to him, and felt relieved when he saw that he was still neat and tidy and his hair was dry.
Although the league has not stipulated that players must wash their hair before going on stage, for IG players, the hairstyle they wear on stage every time is their fate.
Especially Liu Qingsong and Xiaohuahua.
Liu Qingsong's hair was not very long when he first joined the team, but long-term training and competitions have gradually made him lazy, and he will only get a haircut every two months.
Nowadays, it has long become elegant and less tearful.
But fortunately, he washes his hair every day, so it doesn't look like a spicy hot pot with a greasy face that can still shine under the light.
Not to mention Little Peanut.
Silver hair is extremely easy to fade, and after bleaching and dyeing, the hair quality was greatly damaged. He would rather wash his hair without eating.
"Let's go, let's go!" Chu Ge greeted quickly, "Brothers are so handsome, so don't take pictures!"
In the conference room, the team members and coaches were lined up, with a microphone placed in front of each person, and various folding chairs in front of them. E-sports-related media people were sitting here, ready for interviews at any time.
It looks just like the post-game press conferences of football and basketball.
As the most popular player in the team, Chu Ge had just won the FMVP. Most of the reporters' questions were about Chu Ge.
Many of them are ordinary questions that can be answered using official templates, but there are always some people who don’t follow the routines and ask more pointed questions!
Fortunately, Chu Ge is a veteran, and he was able to answer the interview questions with ease. The main theme was that he didn't know why.
"We know that Dow players have strong ability to withstand pressure, but not every player has strong ability to withstand pressure, especially considering that there are so many young players in the IG team, and their psychology may be relatively fragile."
This question is very pointed and even a little provocative.
When you meet someone who likes to get into trouble, you might really think, right, you're just pretending to be cool, but we're going to bear the pressure? ?
But this is not a problem for Chu Ge.
"No, no, no, first I have to correct a problem!" Chu Ge was not angry and just answered with a smile, "League of Legends is a 5-player game, and the entire team is a whole."
He clenched his fist and raised it in front of him, "Just like our fist, after it is clenched, the length and position of each finger are different."
“The roles each assume will naturally be different.”
"Obviously, our team is like this, everyone can be the protruding knuckle, and can also be used to receive force on the edge."
After saying this, the reporters applauded one after another!
Of course, not everyone will ask Chu Ge for questions.
After all, with the exception of the two newcomers in the bottom lane, Rookie and Peanut's traffic has always been among the top in the LPL.
Just.
After all, Peanut is Korean, and he has a relatively reserved temperament. He talks softly during live broadcasts in the base and rarely suffers from mood swings.
And Song Yijin
Apart from his career, his mind is focused on his girlfriend. As a famous pigeon player in the IG team, he always only thinks of making up time at the end of the month.
It can be called a model in the fishing industry.
Of course, there are also people asking Lwx.
This guy is quite popular. He always likes to do a little extra work during live broadcasts, and he has gained a lot of fans.
And
This guy is very mean-mouthed every time he broadcasts live, and he always likes to interact with his teammates. Chu Ge took the trouble to pinch his neck twice, but the result was that he still showed no restraint.
"Player Lin Weixiang has joined a championship team as the C position. As a newcomer, you are also entering the MSI competition for the first time. How do you feel now?"
Lwx is not in a hurry to answer,
It’s about organizing language!
This guy is so smart, his eyebrows always dance like Zeng Xiaoxian when facing the camera.
"I'm in a good mood!" He held the microphone and smiled, "Actually, during last summer split, Liu Qingsong and I came to IG for trial training, but at that time our level was not good enough and we did not participate in the trial training."
"Originally, during the transfer period last year, I came to IG with the attitude of giving it a try. After all, they had already won the global finals at that time. The chances for newcomers like me and Liu Qingsong were very slim."
"Nothing"
"Just like IG won the championship last year, I started three newcomers at the same time and finally won the championship. I also hope that I can be like them."
“I also won the championship at MSI this year!”
Chu Ge was teasing in a low voice, "How long have Lin Weixiang memorized these words? Why does it feel like Yazi suddenly became smarter!"
"Ah?" Rookie asked in a low voice with some curiosity, "I'm not a crafter either. To be able to say this, you must at least have an undergraduate level!"
Hearing this, several people around him lowered their heads and suppressed their laughter. They didn't want to laugh out loud in this situation.
Lwx seems to have heard it?
The kid glared at Chu Ge, but didn't dare to say anything.
The media asked again, "How is player Liu Qingsong's mood now?
Liu Qingsong directly learned and put it into practice, "As Director Dow said, we are a team. I am not going to fight alone. With such good teammates, I am not nervous at all."
"I even vaguely want to fight against the powerful players from other regions."
"For this MSI, I just want to play against Wolf and show him that not only Baolan can beat him online, but I can too.
Rookie also followed suit, "My personal goal is the same as the team goal. I want to win this MSI championship. As for the pressure, it's okay. After all, I often kill Faker solo."
"But at this year's MSI, I can meet my old teammates, which is an exciting thing for me. I hope Kakao can become stronger!"
Xiaohuahua's answer was quite satisfactory, "As long as I can do my job well, the team will be able to win. As for pressure? I don't feel any pressure for the time being. Winning this time has given me a lot of confidence. I have Confidence against any opponent! ”
As for Tabe, he also showed strong confidence when answering questions.
"I have studied some strong teams in other divisions. They all have their own characteristics and are very strong. This MSI
The journey may not be so smooth, but I believe... IG will eventually become the champion of this MSI, because I believe my players are better than the players of other teams, and as a coach, I will also be better than the coaches of other teams Give your players more off-field support! ! ”
IG's overall self-confidence has been cultivated for a long time, so everyone will not have so many worries when saying something in interviews.
For example, if you show off too much, will you get backlash?
In fact, you don’t need any talent at all to talk dirty. What you need is confidence!
When you are confident in your own ability, you won't have so many worries when you speak, and your casual remarks will be golden words in the eyes of fans.
Just like what Faker said, "Lanking is a very simple matter. Dodge the opponent's skills, and then hit the opponent with your own skills." This simple and unpretentious sentence, just because this is Faker, is known as the big devil in the middle, and the history of League of Legends The first man said it, so it is regarded as the truth by countless fans
The group interview after the game ended quickly. Everyone first took the car back to the hotel to change out some of their luggage and
And I changed into casual clothes. It was too ostentatious to go out wearing the IG team uniform.
IG's popularity is too high. Although it is not polite to refuse some small requests from fans, when the whole team celebrates winning the championship together, I still want my own people to celebrate together.
The most important thing is for the competition players to have something to eat at around 11 o'clock in the morning.
I have been relying on bananas and other things to cushion me in the middle. I am very hungry now.
After the food was served, a group of hungry people immediately stuffed food into their mouths, seeing that everyone had almost eaten.
Su Xiaoluo then raised his glass.
"Thank you for your hard work. After winning MSI this time, we will truly become the number one club in the LPL!"
Chu Ge raised his cup and said with a smile, "Not only that, we also have to accomplish things that all clubs have not accomplished."
“Second MSI championship!”
After enjoying a delicious meal, everyone returned to the hotel. The team will still contract accommodation and food for the next few days, and the teammates can make appropriate arrangements freely.
Several team members have chosen to go back to their hometowns to meet their parents. Their relationship with their families is pretty good, and even during their rebellious period, they will not behave like they don't want to have any contact with their families at all.
On the contrary, I play games away from home all year round and rarely see my parents, so I cherish every vacation time even more.
Little Peanut and Rookie also bought a flight ticket back to China and went back to have a look first, and they won't be able to come back in a few days.
The most painful thing is Chu Ge.
He really doesn’t have a vacation!
Various events and photo shoots for advertisers fill up his time.
Not to mention how busy he is, the various endorsement brands he accepts hope to use this league championship traffic to let him shoot a few new sets of advertisements for promotion.
Even Tengjing officials are coming to get a piece of the pie. The e-sports fandom was originally created by Tengjing. Now that it has achieved initial results, it is natural to go back and harvest a wave of fan base!
They are linked cultural shirts with IG champion skins.
To put it bluntly, it is a simple white short-sleeved T-shirt or a black short-sleeved T-shirt with an image of a beleaguered cartoon character and the image of his championship skin.
Maybe the cost price is only 20 yuan? ?
Chu Ge didn't know much about the clothing industry and didn't know if his guess was right.
But it’s such a crude product that can’t be more crude. Just because it’s a harvest product for fans, you dare to price it at 129 yuan!
Too.
Only fans, and those with a fandom mentality, will pay. Who in the right mind would spend more than 100 on such a thing?
After a busy day of shooting, Chu Ge finally took a breather and rubbed his somewhat stiff chin. In order to cooperate with the photographer in various shootings, he really acted as a puppet for a day.
The team members who returned to their hometowns also returned to the team base one after another.
After all...
It's already the end of April, and this year's MSI Mid-Season Invitational starts on May 10th. In Brazil, South America, it's a long journey of more than 15 hours for IG.
They must prepare information in advance to apply for a passport, and winning the MSI is definitely more difficult than the domestic league. The players also need to adjust their mentality and adjust their state to face more difficult games!
May 1st!
As early as noon, the official Weibo of LPL, the official Weibo of IG, and the personal Weibo of each team member began to repost the news that the championship skin was officially launched for sale, which was regarded as a warm-up in advance.
Panda also came to warm up early, and the entire home page was full of promotional advertisements!
After Panda spent a sky-high price to sign an individual contract with Chu Ge, it also packaged IG's team collective contract. Wuxin and Baolan, who had already left the team, joined the Snake team. However, Sanke's team live broadcast contract was also bought by Zhanqi, so the linkage to create championship skins was also There won't be any problem.
At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, the old IG players collectively came to the officially organized event venue.
Due to the request of the organizer, all the members who won the championship last year will wear the clothes they won last year and stand on the stage to give back to the fans.
The host is still Ren Dong.
Before the five champion members could appear, the audience below the stage, which had been waiting for a long time, had already raised various support signs and cheered.
The barrages in the live broadcast rooms of Panda and Zhanqi TV were even more popular.
[I really cried Jimei to death! I really hope that we can go back to when they won the championship last year! 】
[IG has really become a memory of my youth, woo woo woo! 】
[I only started playing League of Legends after IG won the championship last year. From now on, I will fight with LOL fans in Honor of Kings]
[Stop talking, start quickly, I heard that 1,000 sets of champion skins will be given away, I will win! 】
[It doesn’t matter if I win or not, I’m ready to buy Riven and Syndra’s champion skins! 】
[Wuxx’s policewoman should be okay]
"Welcome to today's event," shouted Ren Dong, who was wearing a brown suit. "Without further ado, let's invite our champion members to appear!"
As the theme song "Ignite" from last year's World Championship played, Chu Ge, who was standing in the front row, slowly stepped onto the stage.
In addition to the team uniform, there is also a medal belonging to the 2016 Global Finals champion hanging around his neck.
but.
The event organizer actually hopes to borrow IG's championship trophy, but Riot Games will not deliver it until after the World Championship.
Therefore, Chu Ge's FMVP trophy became the most dazzling presence at the venue.
Wuxin and Baolan seemed a little embarrassed.
After all, they both wanted to leave the team and prove that they were good enough, but their performance throughout the spring only proved one thing.
Staying on IG is their best way out.
Especially Sapphire!
As Riot gradually shifts its version towards the lower half, the frequency of wild assistant linkages is also increasing, and the priority of vision is also rising accordingly.
But Baolan still has a wide field of vision.
Brother Shengqiang is different from Chu Ge. He cannot guarantee an absolute advantage in the top lane, and indirectly uses the top half to help relieve the pressure in the bottom lane.
