Chapter 31 No, who are you, buddy?
『Welcome all League of Legends players and spectators around the world to join us at the Busan International Convention and Exhibition Center to witness the unveiling of the 2018 Global Finals group stage! 』
『This is-Busan Smecta! ! ! 』
This is Cui Ze’s first time to watch the opening of a large-scale e-sports event at such a close distance. Although the word “large” is open to question, after all, it is still only the group stage. The seats in the auditorium of the Busan Convention and Exhibition Center There are only 4,000 people, and it is not even full.
In addition, I have to say that the opening of "Roaring Emperor" Jin Yongjun can really boost the atmosphere of the scene. The effect of this roaring style of hosting may be a bit exaggerated when viewed online, but for offline viewing It's not inconsistent at all.
Watching the game offline, how can we call it offline if we don’t burn it?
It’s done when you get bored!
On October 10, the 2018 League of Legends Global Finals group stage kicked off for global players with the Korean LCK No. 1 seed KT team and the North American LCS No. 1 seed TL team.
As a translator, Cui Ze naturally has the right to come and go at will behind the scenes. Although there is also a live TV broadcast in the lounge, he is still more willing to come and experience this passion live.
After a short opening, the accompaniment of the theme song "Rise" sounded in the venue. The defending champion GEN.G team, led by captain Ambition, placed the Summoner's Trophy, which symbolizes the honor of the League of Legends e-sports professional high school. The center of the stage is for players on site and around the world to watch.
After the Summoner's Trophy was unveiled, Cui Ze kept his eyes on it and did not move away for a long time. He even had no intention of listening to what Jin Yongjun said next.
For ordinary players and viewers, this trophy symbolizes another team that will be engraved in the annals of League of Legends e-sports history, and it means that five or six heroes will receive new Champion skin with team+ID prefix.
For professional players like Cui Ze who have embarked on the path to pursue their dreams in e-sports, this Summoner’s Trophy shining in the center of the stage is their original intention to embark on this path. It is also the supreme honor that they want to devote everything and dream of winning.
At this moment, Cui Ze’s [Champion’s Heart] was already burning, with phenylethylamine, norepinephrine, dopamine and endorphins gushing out like a fountain, and his eyes were filled with excitement. Full of love and desire for that Summoner's Trophy.
Photographer Ichimura keenly captured this scene and recorded it in his camera.
If nothing else goes wrong, this shot of Cui Ze looking lovingly at the Summoner's Trophy will be placed in a photo album called "Dream Chasing Boy" by Ichimura.
Perhaps this photo will not be made public until one day in the future, when Cui Ze, the protagonist of the photo, sadly leaves the competitive stage, or when he pursues his dream and successfully wins the Summoner's Trophy.
As for now, the boy’s journey to pursue his dreams has just begun!
In addition to all members of Gen.G who returned the Summoner’s Trophy, representatives of the top 16 teams in the group stage also came to the scene.
G2 mid laner PerkZ, AFS top laner Kiin, Gen.G jungler Ambition, RNG shooter Uzi, IG mid laner Rookie, FNC mid laner Caps, etc.
What’s surprising about this session is that this is obviously the home court of South Korea’s LCK, but when Jin Yongjun introduced the representative players of the top 16 teams, Uzi’s voice was obviously louder than that of the previous Gen.G jungler Ambition. A step higher, and even the subsequent players couldn't overpower Uzi's voice.
In fact, this phenomenon is normal. After all, Uzi has won the LPL Spring Split, MSI Mid-Season Championship Invitational, Jakarta Asian Games League of Legends Performance Project, LPL Summer Split and FMVP. .
A large part of global League of Legends players and viewers at this time and space believe that RNG with Uzi at its core can continue their dominance this season and win the final global finals. Trophy.
It’s just that no one thought that this seemingly unbeatable RNG, this little fat guy who seemed to be leading the team to win the first S championship trophy for LPL, would advance from eight to four. They lost to G2, who seemed to be the weakest.
That smile will last until 2024.
The process is so funny and the ending is so absurd, it bursts like a bubble, leaving only chicken feathers on the ground.
In the game between KT and TL, Cui Ze only watched less than 5 minutes before sneaking back to the backcourt.
Watching a game live is indeed very exciting, but this kind of passion can easily confuse people's brains.
Back in the lounge, I saw Ren Dong sitting on the sofa watching the live broadcast attentively. He also held a reminder card and a ballpoint pen in his hand, and he would write down something on it from time to time.
"Brother Dong, what have you written down? Let me take a look too." As he spoke, Cui Ze naturally sat next to Ren Dong, stretched his neck and glanced at the prompt card.
"I didn't remember anything. I just wrote down a few important focus moments during the competition, and then framed the questions to be asked in the interview around these focus points, and made first-hand preparations in advance." Ren Dong generously put the prompt card Handed it over to him. This generosity is not only based on Cui Ze being his translation partner for today's Korean interview, but also based on the limited edition Black Aixi cigarettes worth more than 550 yuan that Cui Ze gave during the morning meeting.
The young man is not only polite and popular in the circle, but he is also very sensible and knows how to give gifts. Who wouldn’t be waiting with a smile?
Cui Ze looked at the prompt card for a few seconds and returned it. It was useless for him to read these things. After all, the translation was real-time. No one knew what the contestants being interviewed would do. answer.
Ren Dong continued to watch the live broadcast while memorizing key points. When entering the boring line switching operation period, he did not forget to mention something:
"If KT wins later, you can go with me to the interview area to help translate. If TL wins, you can rest here more, or go out to use the bathroom, buy drinks, etc. if you want. "
"Okay." Cui Zejian agreed without saying much.
But this state made Ren Dong feel very comfortable.
The opening match between KT and TL came to an end at 32 minutes and 50 seconds. TL caused a lot of trouble to KT in the early stage, and the number of dragons has been leading.
But KT is the No. 1 seed in the LCK after all. It is still quite strong, and its operational capabilities are more than one level better than TL. In the end, it won the battle as the host.
"Let's go, it's time to prepare for the interview. I don't know which player is waiting for me."
Ren Dong patted Cui Ze on the shoulder, and the two stood up and walked to the interview area together.
“I guess it’s Mata.”
“Then I guess Deft.”
“.”
After arriving at the interview area, after waiting for a while, Mata, wearing black-rimmed glasses that resembled the anchor's big quail, opened the curtain and entered.
After a little preparation, the director sent a message to Remember and Guan Zeyuan in the commentary box. Soon the commentary box completed the post-game summary, and the camera moved to the interview box.
Then within a few seconds, in the live broadcast rooms of the global finals on various domestic platforms, a large number of barrages suddenly increased.
【No, who are you, buddy? 】
【Frog Fun, changed the translation? This guy is a bit handsome so yes! 】
[Hey, isn’t this Veronica, the number one Akali in the Korean server? Why don't you live broadcast and come here? 】
【Who in the family understands? A certain anchor went to South Korea to work as a translator without saying a word, but none of the fans knew about it. It was really stupid! 】
【My husband is so handsome, my husband is so handsome, my husband is so handsome! 】
【There are many sacks on the bridge! How do these two identities of e-sports player interview and translator appear in one person at the same time? ? ! ! 】
【We are not very fans, and we have never heard that he can speak Korean.】
[Brothers, this is definitely a joke. If he can translate Mata’s words clearly today, I will eat the computer screen live! ! ! 】
Thank you MINQU for the 200 reward~
