Chapter 544 Chapter 544: The legend will never die!
Song Jinghao crossed his arms and looked into the stands.
"There are so many people..." He was filled with emotion.
I also entered the Bird's Nest during the rehearsal yesterday, but there were no spectators in the stands at that time, so it was difficult to truly appreciate the exaggerated scale of this venue.
Nowadays, the stands are full of people. Standing in the waiting passage and looking around, it is simply good news for patients with trypophobia!
Gu Xing's expression was relaxed and his words were a bit showy, "Well, you don't have such a big stadium there, right?"
Song Jinghao looked envious, "Indeed, the World Cup Stadium in Seoul is not comparable. How many spectators will come to watch the game today?"
"If all the stands are open, and the temporary seats are included, the number of people can exceed 90,000," Vincent answered on the side. "If we hadn't locked the two stands closest to the big screen in order to provide a better viewing effect, It’s no problem at all if it’s full!”
"Even so, there are still 50,000 spectators entering the Bird's Nest today!"
It’s really not Vincent’s excuse for not having a full audience.
After VG swept SKT to advance to the finals, it was determined in advance that the S7 finals would be the LPL versus the LCK, and ticket prices for scalpers in the Bird's Nest skyrocketed!
A good location in the infield was sold to a sky-high price of tens of thousands of yuan!
Even though many viewers hate scalpers, they have no choice but to pay Damai.com while scolding them.
It has to be said that VG’s influence in the current domestic League of Legends community is too exaggerated. In addition, this is the first time that the global finals has been held in mainland China, so it is reasonable for the popularity to rise.
It is conceivable that if Riot really opened up the two stands around the screen in order to increase the number of spectators, it would be no problem to fill 90,000 people!
Gu Xing quietly enjoyed the opening ceremony.
After the countdown ended, groups of performing dancers walked onto the stage from the waiting aisle.
A very familiar face of Gu Xing appeared on the big screen.
Jay Chou.
The screams in the bird's nest are endless!
The prince's human body acted as a drag brother as always, holding the microphone and looking at the camera, "No matter where you are or what language you speak, every player in the world of League of Legends has the same goal... that is to become a hero. Zhizhu Legend! ”
The background curtain opened behind him, and he took the elevator to the center of the Bird's Nest stage in advance and appeared in the audience's field of vision!
The rapid prelude of remake rock style reached the ears of everyone in the Bird's Nest. It was the theme song "Hero" produced by Jay Chou for LOL.
"Double kill, triple kill, Pentakill..."
Jay Chou's pronunciation was not very clear, and Song Jinghao was only half-fluent in Chinese, so he didn't understand what the singer was singing at all.
However, one can tell from the music style alone that the quality is average.
"Sui Gu, do you usually listen to this?!" Smeb looked at Gu Xing with a strange look on his face, doubting Gu Xing's aesthetic level.
Gu Xing's head was full of black lines.
Even as a die-hard fan, he couldn't appreciate this song, and it felt like it wasn't even a mouth-watering song.
Since getting married, Jay Chou's creative ability has plummeted, and he is now preparing to spend the rest of his life in peace.
Moreover, the Bird's Nest is large and empty, and no matter how good the sound effect is, it is useless. Jay Chou's voice is very thin, and the listening quality is far worse.
It can also be seen from the audience's reaction that they didn't quite buy into his performance. If it weren't for the overly enthusiastic atmosphere of the finals, which had aroused everyone's emotions, there would probably be only a handful of applause.
After Jay Chou finished singing a song, he sat down next to the piano in the center of the stage, and a familiar rhythm flowed between his fingers.
The legend never goes out!
The melody is beautiful and dreamy, creating an epic feel of a grand narrative. When the syllables fall, the female voice just cuts in.
Singer Chrissy walked past Gu Xing and others and strode onto the stage. At first, her voice was childish and young but not out of place. Until the chorus stage, she leaned back and her slender waist curved even More than 90° to help the throat develop an explosive voice.
The transition during the period is not sudden, it can be said to be a smooth flow, expressing all the emotions accumulated in the song!
"LegendsNeverDie,Whentheworldiscallingyou..."
At this time, several melodious roars suddenly sounded in the ears of the 50,000 spectators, as if they were carrying the pressure of ancient times and were shocking!
"What's going on?" Kuro was confused, "Who's calling?"
"What's going on..." Jack muttered.
Gu Xing studied it for a moment and frowned slightly, "It sounds like the voice of an ancient dragon."
Yu Wenbo suddenly noticed something strange.
He widened his eyes and exaggerated, "Look, the real dragon has come to the world!"
Gu Xing followed Jack's line of sight and saw a huge ancient dragon hovering over the bird's nest in the live broadcast on the big screen!
The dragon's claws were placed on the edge of the stadium, and it breathed out dragon breath in all directions and roared several times.
Then it spread its wings and soared, passing by the stands at high speed, bringing with it bursts of roaring wind!
Gu Xing looked away from the big screen and looked at the stands in reality.
Where are the traces of the ancient dragon?
But the presence of the dragon in the live broadcast was so real that it even left a shadow blocking the sun's rays in the stands!
"AR?" Gu Xing guessed the technology used by the fist.
Unlike VR, which emphasizes virtual images, AR (augmented reality) mainly highlights the interweaving of reality and virtuality, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
It seems that Riot first built the model of the dragon, then combined it with the on-site lighting, sound effects and action routes, and finally inserted it into the live broadcast.
In this way, the audience cannot see the ancient dragon in reality, and can only capture this shocking scene on the screen!
Although the scene is not realistic enough, even so, Riot surprised the audience by showing off technology that it has never shown before in this World Championship!
There was nothing above the stands in front of them, but an ancient dragon could be seen in the same position in the live broadcast not far away!
At the same time, illusion and reality are brought into view, and the level of shock is even higher!
Gu Xing and other players could not contain their excitement.
Although they participated in the rehearsal yesterday, everyone practiced their appearance positions. Due to the intense competition training tasks, everyone walked back and forth twice to familiarize themselves with the stage before rushing back to the hotel. They did not see the appearance of the ancient dragon in advance.
Now the VG team members are following the dragon in the live broadcast screen, and occasionally they exclaim.
Netizens in the live broadcast room were also shocked and talked about it in the barrage.
【I’m a turtle, this dragon is so handsome】
[The real dragon in Fuzhou is here, Brother Long is the dragon, mess with me! 】
[The labor and management were shocked! I thought Riot really brought a dragon]
[The fist bowl is both Jay Chou and an ancient dragon. It’s a big job, right?]
【You thought this was the bird's nest! 】
It has to be said that Riot attaches great importance to this World Championship.
Invite big names, carefully produce theme songs, use Chuanxin AR technology, and the lighting and stage design are also at the top level in today's e-sports circle...
Everything shows Riot’s ambition!
We want to take advantage of the opportunity of hosting the World Championship in the world's largest market to push the globalization of League of Legends to the top!
The ghost crab sitting in the front row was enjoying himself as he bobbed his head with Chrissy in the center of the stage. He was obviously very satisfied with the opening ceremony of this year's finals.
"Hey Chunli, don't look so gloomy," he looked at his subordinates beside him, "Since you can't change the status quo, let's enjoy this World Championship!"
"How can I take VG with a sad face?"
Chunli shook her head helplessly, speechless at her boss's optimism and open-mindedness.
Moving her eyes away from the playful ghost crab, Chunli looked back and saw an unexpected person in the row behind her.
Little peanut.
I don’t know when, this wild king got his hair covered in granny gray again, and with his childish face, he felt like he was dreaming back to the S6 World Championship.
It is precisely because of the unique hair color that Chunli can recognize Peanut at first sight.
Surrounding Han Wanghu were the tall Rat King and Grilla with a gentle smile.
Obviously, the three people came to the scene to cheer for their former teammates.
Looking further outward, Chunli saw a group of middle-aged couples who came to watch the game at this age. Combined with her position in the front row, she knew they were the family members of the players.
There were two young and beautiful girls chatting in the family area. Due to the close distance, Chunli could clearly see the stickers with the VG team logo on their cheeks. She could even hear the conversation clearly if she looked carefully.
The one with a pure face like a little white flower seems to have a livelier personality, and restlessly nudges his friends with his elbows, "Guanshan Li Zai Gan Gods and Demons?"
The taller girl held the gimbal with both hands and turned sideways to avoid her friend's elbow, "Hey, what are you doing... I hope you don't cause trouble, I'm recording."
Gu Pan was very puzzled, "Isn't there a live replay on the website?"
Shen Guanshan shook his head like a rattle, "That's different."
Gu Pan said in a long tone, and had no choice but to turn to his parents to chat, "Mom, are you cold? I have a warm baby here..."
Today, the imperial capital showed off the power of northern autumn to the people of Ningbo. The temperature was low and the wind was strong, raging in the open-air stadium of the Bird's Nest.
Mother Gu was shivering from the cold and regretted not bringing her thin down jacket with her when she came to the imperial capital.
"We're not going to catch a cold or have a fever after watching your brother's game, right?" Gu's father joked, took the warm baby, rubbed it away, and stuffed it into his wife's arms.
"Then let Gu Yiquan hurry up," Gu Pan stamped his feet, "try to win in three sets!"
Chunli listened and figured out their identities. She couldn't help but look back.
Gu Pan was very wary of other people's gazes. Her first reaction when seeing Chunli was that she felt both strange and familiar at the same time. She instinctively thought that this guy was not a good person, so she quickly put her arm around her friend's shoulder and muttered something.
Shen Guanshan shifted his gaze from the cell phone recording on the gimbal to Chunli's face, and his tense body immediately relaxed.
"It's okay, this is Riot's designer, the one who specializes in sharpening knife girls."
Gu Pan suddenly realized that unlike Shen Guanshan, she had never been an intern in Tencent's League of Legends department. She had only trained in the backstage directing team for a period of time, and had no chance to interact with Chunli at all.
I am not an experienced player, so I don’t know much about the designer team. At first glance, I just thought the other person looked familiar, but I didn’t recognize it.
"Then he's not a good person anymore," Gu Pan muttered in the ear of his best friend, "He specializes in undermining the heroes that VG is good at. Are they cheap or not..."
Shen Guanshan couldn't help but laugh.
She heard the end of the S7 theme song and quickly stabilized the gimbal, "It's about to begin."
"Good afternoon to all Summoners on site and in the live broadcast room!" Ren Dong, wearing a bright red suit, stepped onto the stage and tried his best to spread his voice to every corner of the Bird's Nest with an impassioned voice, "Welcome to the 2017 League of Legends. The final scene of the global finals! ”
"This is China, the National Stadium!"
"After 5 weeks of fierce competition, only the last two teams are left out of 24 teams. They are all the top teams who have passed five levels and defeated six generals and overcame many obstacles to reach the finals!"
Ren Dong said loudly, "But there is only one real winner. Today in the Bird's Nest, the two teams will compete to find the real king of the 2017 season!"
"The first thing I want to invite is the well-deserved dark horse of this global finals, the third seed from the LCK division, Samsung Galaxy!"
The three-star team members entered the stage from another waiting passage opposite Gu Xing. All members were bitter and resentful, as if they had some deep hatred.
Immortal Grip's voice was full of passion, "Top laner Cuvee, jungler Ambition, mid laner Crown, bottom laner Ruler and assistant Corejj, substitute Haru and head coach Edgar!"
There are almost no Samsung fans in the Bird's Nest.
Originally, this team did not attract fans during the Bladder Game, and there were no superstars in the team - the only well-known member, An Bixin, gained fame and number of supporters due to the two memes of "Anti-Chinese Heroes" and bullying baseball bats. Not much.
Those who came to the scene holding the SSG team flag were mainly employees from various domestic departments of Samsung's parent company, who got free tickets and came to support the scene.
But even so, the audience in the Bird's Nest still treated everyone with courtesy, tried their best to play the role of hosts, and applauded to welcome the Samsung players.
Ren Dong waved his hand, "Next, please allow me to introduce ViciGaming, the new giant that has won countless championships in just one year, the 2016 Global Finals Champion!"
He set off the atmosphere with his loud voice.
In an instant, the massive momentum created by fifty thousand people was enough to shake the heavens and the earth!
Gu Xing left the waiting passage under the guidance of the staff.
When bidding farewell to the players, Vincent did not forget to send encouragement, "You must work hard!"
In fact, because the outside sound was too noisy, Gu Xing couldn't hear clearly what he was talking about, but after thinking about it for a while, he could guess roughly.
Gu Xing made an OK gesture and strode to the designated position on the stage.
"Top laner Smeb, jungler Virtue..."
Ren Dong learned his lesson this time and wisely stopped when introducing Gu Xing to let the audience welcome this super star.
As expected, waves of cheers and applause resounded throughout the venue, and without the cover of a ceiling, the sound surged into the sky!
Gu Xing smiled warmly and waved to the audience in the stands.
This time the organizer did not use a lift to enter the venue, and it was not easy for him to lead his teammates in any group movements.
However, a top club player like Gu Xing would definitely not let go of a great opportunity to shine personally. Since no one was doing any opening moves, he would definitely do something special.
With a serious face, he walked to the designated position, then moved his left foot forward, and along with his left hand, he put his right hand horizontally on the elbow socket of his left arm, forming a Wing Chun asking hand.
Next to him, Song Jinghao looked like he was trying hard to suppress a smile, unable to do anything about his own jungle.
Naturally, the cameraman would not let go of this shot, and quickly gave Gu Xing a close-up, letting him experience the treatment of having the world focus on you before the game.
"Hey," Gu's mother covered her face, "Don't tell me this is my son when you go out. What are you doing on the stage..."
Gu Panle blossomed, "It's going well, Gu Xing! Mom, look, your son's movements are so unique, it can be regarded as leaving a good memory in life!"
[Holy shit, Wing Chun Ip Man! 】
[Brother Xing: I want to fight ten! ! (gnashing teeth)]
[He won’t go crazy today and even kill his teammates, right? 】
[How does Brother Xing’s head grow? Why can you always come up with awkward and delicious moves? 】
Domestic netizens can recognize Gu Xing's movement as a sign of who it is, but European and American netizens on the Mouse Stage don't know why.
They were also booing in the chat channel, saying that Gu Xing knew how to use kung fu, and that Samsung would probably have a hard time resisting today. Once he won the game, he might be forced to perform a full martial arts show on the spot.
Ren Dong waited until the cheers died down before continuing to introduce the rest of the VG members in a manner that was almost shouting.
"Mid laner Kuro, bottom laner JackeyLove and assistant Caveman, substitute Able and head coach Homme!"
The audience burst into thunderous applause again.
In the past year of the Galaxy Battleship combination, not only Gu Xing's popularity has skyrocketed, but several other teammates have also benefited. The number of fans has increased day by day, especially the two brothers Shangfu, who have become the most popular in the same position in the LPL!
"Let us welcome them with warm applause again!" Ren Dong shouted loudly.
"Heroes chase legends, the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals begins now!"
The hustle and bustle at the scene lasted for a long time, filling the ears of every audience!
Gu Xing followed Song Jinghao to the players' bench.
It is worth mentioning that Riot Games considered that there were too many spectators in the Bird's Nest for this year's finals. In order to avoid unfair competition phenomena such as malicious reporting of points, a soundproof room was specially built with white noise headphones to completely isolate the players from the stands. contact.
Gu was walking halfway when he suddenly heard singing coming from the stands.
He loved to join in the fun, and when he had nothing to do, he just wanted to prick up his ears and listen. The volume gradually increased as more and more spectators joined in and hummed in unison, echoing in his ears.
"Happy birthday to you..."
The audience shook the cheering sticks in their hands and sang happy birthday in unison.
In the end, it reached a grand scale with tens of thousands of people singing together!
Gu Xing was very surprised.
"Is it for me?" He also asked Song Jinghao for confirmation, "No one else has a birthday recently, right?"
Before Smeb could answer, a high-pitched voice shouted Gu Xing's name from the audience, wishing him a happy 20th birthday.
"Breaking more, leaking more!" Gu Xing grinned and waved to the audience to thank him, feeling very touched in his heart.
"Turtle, Lao Gu's card!" Jack said with emotion, "This is it"
The scene of the audience singing happy birthday before the game is not uncommon in the e-sports circle.
Faker has enjoyed it twice.
As long as Lee Sang Hyuk, whose birthday is in May, can go to MSI, the audience will spontaneously celebrate his birthday.
Gu Xing was born in early November, just in time for the World Championship finals.
It happened to be his birthday when he participated in the S6 finals at Staples Center last year, but he didn't have that treatment at the time and could only celebrate briefly with his girlfriend after the game.
This year is different.
Gu Xingneng, who has become the most dazzling superstar in League of Legends, has many fans and enjoys the birthday song blessing from thousands of people at the Bird's Nest!
In Gu Xing's excitement, his steps towards the soundproof room seemed to be stepping on clouds, and he was drifting and forgetful.
Shen Guanshan, who was sitting in the front row, smiled softly. After once again ensuring that his mobile phone could record the grand scene of the whole chorus, he also hummed the birthday song softly in his seat.
Gu Pan echoed a few words, and saw Chunli in the front row waving a cheering stick and singing happily. It was obvious that she was sincerely sending blessings to Gu Xing.
"This guy is a loser!" She muttered, "I used to operate on VG's aorta, but now I'm a big fan of Gu Biao... Could it be schizophrenia?"
The director was also shocked by the scene of the live chorus, and let the camera scan the faces of all living beings in each stand of the Bird's Nest. After singing the birthday song, he switched the screen and played the previously recorded promotional video.
The background in the video first came to the bustling Guomao CBD. Cuvee, who thought he would be more handsome with his hands in his pockets during the interview, appeared in the screen with a stern expression, but his slightly protruding belly gave the scene a bit of a joy.
"Everyone seems to think that VG will defeat us without any suspense and win the second Summoner's Trophy," he said in a calm tone, "but Samsung will use its strength to prove that it is no accident that it can go all the way to the finals!"
"If you dare to underestimate us, VG will pay a heavy price!"
Immediately afterwards, Leader An slowly stepped into the camera, "The LCK division has not won any official international championship for a year."
"In the long history of LCK, not only SKT is a team that has contributed to the honor of the division, Samsung also has contributions that cannot be buried."
At this point, the background of the promotional video blurred, showing a group photo of the five Samsung White players holding the Summoner's Trophy.
"I believe this year is an excellent opportunity given by God, and perhaps the only opportunity in this life," An Bixin said in a steady voice, "SSG will use practical actions to prove who is the real king in this version!"
"It is our duty to rebuild the glory of LCK!"
Crown, who is short in stature but has extremely determined eyes, took over the topic, "It is said that in last year's global finals, it was VG who fought against the Dragon Quest and single-handedly challenged the LCK division, which had dominated the S-League for many years."
"However, in our eyes today, VG is not the new evil dragon?" Crown looked directly at the camera, the big gold chain around his neck very eye-catching, "Last year, I participated in the World Championship for the first time and was swept in the quarterfinals. This year I must take revenge!”
Although the story of a brave man who eventually becomes a dragon is a bit cliché.
But it is very appropriate to be used by Crown to describe the relationship between the LCK division and the VG team.
Passerby A, who was easily swept by VG back then, vowed to come for revenge after cultivating with concentration!
The camera switches to VG. Their filming location is in Xiangshan. It is the best period for viewing the red leaves in Xiangshan. The picture of the promotional video is beautiful.
"I can put myself in the shoes of the Samsung players," said Kuro in the picture, who had just defeated SKT and got rid of his inner demons, and is now in high spirits. "But unfortunately, VG has a reason to win this final."
"Besides, whether you can win the game does not depend on belief, but on your own hard power!" Li Rui walked up to the figure wearing a VG team uniform and carrying the VG team flag on his shoulder.
On the back collar of the figure, the word 'Virtue' is shining brightly!
"In the face of absolute hard power, all rhetoric is empty talk!" Kuro put his arm on Gu Xing's shoulders and spoke harshly with confidence.
Gu Xing turned around with a sonorous and powerful voice, "It's still the same sentence, this is our territory, if you want the Summoner's trophy, just come over!"
"I said before the game, how you brought the trophy here is how you will get it back to the club!" He raised his head slightly, looking unruly and confident, and stretched out his hand to grab the fabric of the team uniform on his chest. There was a gold star shining on it.
"After today, there will be a second star printed here!"
"No one can stop us from defending our title!"
The explosive promotional video made the audience cheer non-stop, raising the atmosphere of watching the game to a new level again!
"Before the two sides start the competition, we can take a look at the data comparison of the two teams," Zeyuan, who was browsing the charts given by the director in the commentary box, couldn't help but marvel, "It can be seen that VG has the advantage in many data, especially In terms of average game time, VG is 7 minutes shorter than Samsung, and the gap is astonishing.”
SSG's main focus is to overturn the bladder game and try to outlast the opponent.
VG, on the other hand, plays fast and decisive games, never drags its feet, and often ends the game in one wave.
Both sides have distinct styles.
"Samsung is only ahead in three data: average ward placement, average ward placement, and average real ward. This is in line with everyone's impression. SSG relies on airtight vision to deploy precise defense."< br>
Zeyuan praised SSG's vision, "There is RNG in front and Dragon Ball in the back. Both strong teams were defeated in front of Samsung's true eyes, which shows how strong they are!"
Su Xiaoyan nodded in agreement, and changed the topic without leaving any trace, "Another interesting point is that SSG is the final team with the smallest economic lead in the first 15 minutes of the previous World Championships!"
"Samsung is -443 in this data, but VG is much more terrifying. In the first 15 minutes of the victory, the average economic lead per game is as high as 2235!"
"This final can be said to be the strongest spear meeting the hardest shield. Let's see who can win the Summoner's Trophy better... Let's hand over the screen to the commentary box!" Zeyuan completed the task.
Amidst the crisp metallic sound, the BP panel appeared in front of everyone's eyes!
The commentary configuration is still the Haier brothers + Wang Yiji, which is currently the most balanced hexagonal team in all aspects.
The doll held it in for a long time and started shouting at the top of his lungs.
"Samsung won this game by betting coins. After getting the priority to choose sides, we came to the blue side in the first game. We sent Luo to the ban position first!"
Redmi has nothing to say, ban Kalista.
Edgar immediately took over Jace's ban position - Cuvee's Jace was relatively average and not worth grabbing, and Song Jinghao's second battalion commander was too strong, so after careful consideration, he still didn't plan to release him.
Seeing this, Hongmi chose to respect Cuvee and disabled his unique skill Kennen.
"In the last ban of the first round, Samsung gave Feng Nu, which is a clear sign forcing VG to block Galio!" Miller analyzed, "Both teams are very proficient in the use of mid laner Galio, no one dares to Leave it to the other party!”
Just as he said, Redmi followed the pre-game simulation without thinking and banned Galio.
When Samsung came up, it locked the prince instantly and gave Leader An the advantageous hero.
"Why are the VG members laughing again?" I remember that Monk Zhang Er was confused.
Before he could dig deeper, he saw VG make a choice and get the combination of Xiaopao + Lulu.
In the first game, both sides had played countless games before the game, and they deduced their plans with confidence. "Samsung got the combination of Verus + wet nurse to complete the team control and milk volume..."
Redmi locked up Malzahar to get Kuro a hero he could mix with.
After entering the second round, he blocked the two roaming mid laners Ryze and Rockbird in an effort to limit Crown.
Edgar was also very decisive and sent both Pig Girl and Wine Barrel to the ban position to stumbling upon Gu Xing.
"There are not many choices left for strong junglers," Wawa said thoughtfully, "VG plans to select Gnar for Smeb first, to grab the heroes that Cuvee is good at in the ban, and Samsung will backhand Karma and Shen. They are The lineup is very conservative!”
"The team's output points are all supported by Ruler. Can this lineup really do any damage?!" Remember to be skeptical.
"Brother Xing, choosing a tank to top the front row may be able to restrain SSG's lineup. How about Zach?" Miller didn't finish his words when he heard a soft scolding that echoed throughout the audience.
The soul of Zhizi...
Then it switched to a ferocious and thick voice.
Live with your son! A little late by two minutes, sorry
