The date for the S3 World Championship is set for Saturday, October 5 at 8 p.m. North American time.

In fact, it is 11 a.m. on October 6 in China, and the timing of this game is very friendly for LPL viewers, although smartphones are not particularly common in 13 years, and WiFi is not everywhere.

But after all, it's a weekend, and there are still many LPL fans who can watch the game in the Internet café, and many high school players also have leisure time to watch the game.

In addition, such a game time also gave Yun Luoyang and other players enough space to adjust their state, and after a day of rest, several FD people appeared on the training ground full of energy.

Today is the day of the competition, of course, not a training match, but a game to find a feeling, almost like a warm-up. SVT1 is also on the training ground, but it certainly won't be as highly concentrated as the previous two days, and everyone will open a room together like a big brawl.

This has the interest of adjusting the state before the official game, and having dinner early in the afternoon, everyone put on makeup backstage. This time, the venue of the game was not at the Galen Center, but the home of the famous Lakers team, Staples Arena.

Strictly speaking, in terms of scale, Staples Arena is certainly inferior to the Galen Center. It can accommodate up to 20,000 people, and since esports is not like basketball, it can accommodate even fewer people.

Basketball games are in the center and can be seen from all sides, while esports events need to build a competitive stage, and one side should be covered as a competition venue.

In addition, some of the original VIP rooms on the second floor had to be vacated as studios or commentary stations, and the number of people that could accommodate them was further reduced. As of October 1, the tickets for the finals have long been sold out, and according to statistics, there are only 12,000 tickets, which is far worse than the grand occasion of more than 30,000 people in S2.

But now League of Legends has long since moved away from the time when it needed to sell tickets to recoup the cost of various expenses, and now what is needed is influence, what is needed is to expand the event to the world, define it as a sporting event, and let it be combined with sports.

Therefore, it is obviously a very cost-effective thing to use the Lakers' fame to promote, and even because this life is grander than the previous one, and the attention is also greater, Riot has another plan.

They invited the entire Lakers team to show up before the game, and asked Kobe to praise League of Legends, and invited the Lakers to watch the game together.

I have to say that as the idol of countless young people, Kobe's appeal is still huge.

This makes this event even more compelling.

"There are so many people."

"I see there's no stand over there, there's my fans."

"Come on, people are just symbolically holding up your sign, and we all have it."

"Yes, when it comes to the number of fans, how can there be so many Brother Luoyang."

After putting on makeup, everyone stretched their necks one by one at the entrance of the backstage passage, looking out like a few stupid geese who had never seen the world.

Staples Arena is much smaller than the Galen Center, but because it's smaller, the stands are much cramped.

Once the space is small, it will also appear very crowded if the number of people is small.

The crowd in the stands was waiting for the start of the game, which was still half an hour before the official start of the game.

So there was no cheering, but the scene was very noisy, everyone was talking, and tens of thousands of people were whispering together, which was no less than a busy vegetable market.

On the west side of the stands, there should be a phalanx composed of North American students or Chinese, and everyone here is holding FD's cheering cards, and at a glance, there are hundreds of fluorescent signs, and the crayfish and the forest legs are not pulled.

All four of them have their own fan phalanxes, and compared to the few cheering cards scattered around in SVT1, this makes the FD side very handy.

But compared with Yun Luoyang, their hundreds of brands are purely younger brothers.

The four of them add up to only three or four hundred cheering cards, but as long as you take a cursory sweep of the field, you can see no less than 500 fluorescent cards with the name "Tyro" at a glance, which is still a lot of people holding signs and shaking, and there are a large number of people who do not hold signs because they have not started the game.

This means that once the game really starts, more than 10,000 people in the audience will have to have at least one or two thousand Yunluoyang cheering cards held high.

Nearly one-fifth of the people in the entire Staples Arena are personal fans of Yunluoyang!

And unlike crayfish, they are all Chinese fans, most of Yun Luoyang's personal fans in the audience are European and American audiences, and even many of them have come from all over Europe, this ability to attract fans is indeed a bit amazing.

But it's also normal to think about it.

There wasn't much groundbreaking in the S2-S3 period in history, and the influence of League of Legends pros was very small.

Later, the first Ruiwen in North America created the speed of light QA, Inset invented the roundhouse kick, and Simon invented the five knives in one second, and these technologies spread out, and they suddenly had a large number of personal fans.

They are also the kind of players who have never won a championship, and North American No. 1 Ruiwen and Simon are not even professional players.

But with his own developed technology, he has attracted countless fans, and named this set of technology on his head, which can be described as a real fame and fortune.

This was the charm of the pioneers at that time.

And Yun Luoyang.

is not only the pioneer of that wild era, the e-sports Confucius who spread countless operation skills, but also the top professional player of various 1 on 5 in the S2 World Championship.

Under the dual effect of being both a technology developer and a champion of the competition, it is natural to be famous.

Seeing the crayfish, a few of them looked out at the entrance of the passage in a daze, Yun Luoyang leaned against the gate of the passage and sneered: "A group of soil buns who have never seen the world, these are small scenes, as long as you work hard, there will be millions of people cheering for you in the future." ”

The crayfish turned around with a blank expression: "Really? ”

"Of course."

Yun Luoyang raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "You've all watched the S2 finals, do you remember the scene where tens of thousands of people shouted my name together?" ”

"After today, they won't be calling my name, but yours."

"Imagine so many people cheering for your wonderful performance, so many people standing up and applauding you, and a million dollars in your pockets, do you feel that the blood in your body is hot right now? Ever feel like your whole body is burning and boiling? ”

Yun Luoyang pointed outside and drew a blueprint for this group of younger brothers who had never seen the world.

I have to say that if he is facing a group of social veterans in their 30s, or even twenty-five or sixteen years old, it will have no effect after a few words.

But the crayfish are seventeen or eighteen years old, and it is when they are young and vigorous to be fooled.

In addition, they have seen two or three thousand people in the LPL the most time, that is, in the finals, and now they see tens of thousands of people playing at once, and that atmosphere is approaching, Yun Luoyang flickered again, and their blood was about to burn.

"Listening to what Brother Luoyang said, I really think that my face is so hot now that my heartbeat can't stop." The crayfish touched his face and felt his whole body burn.

"I feel that way too, my heart beats so badly."

"Isn't it too nervous?"

"I felt like I was shaking all over, and I don't know why."

Brother Ma Pingyelin, including the second-oldest leg, noticed the abnormality of his body one by one.

Yun Luoyang was shocked when he saw that their faces were red, as if they were really hot.

, it won't be too much.

Looking at the appearance of this group of guys, not only did they not have the excitement of raising their arms, but also had a feeling of cold and fever, were they not instigated by my words, but they were made cold last night?

Yun Luoyang was shocked in his heart, but on the surface, he waved his hand lightly: "Be calm, be calm." How many times have I told you that this is a small scene, don't be too surprised, there will be a bigger scene for you to see in the future. ”

"Hearing Brother Luoyang say this, I feel a lot calmer."

"Brother Luoyang has seen the world."

"I feel like I'm boiling all over, and I want to fight SVT1 hard."

I don't know if Yun Luoyang's appeasement has an effect, or if I see that Yun Luoyang's calm face has calmed down the slightly uneasy mood of the other people in FD, and the "fever" subsides quickly, I just feel that I am full of energy, like a wolf and a tiger, and I can't wait to fight with SVT1.

Yun Luoyang carefully observed and found that several of them had no physical abnormalities, and he couldn't help but feel relieved.

After thinking about it, I suddenly understood the reason.

In fact, this kind of performance is also very normal, many professional players perform well in the regular season, and when they arrive at the competition, they become soft-footed shrimps, which is a problem in terms of psychological quality.

However, the FD team has been winning, and the confidence is naturally very strong, and the psychological quality is also very strong, so this situation will not occur.

It's just that in the past, he was the king of the small fish pond in LPL, and suddenly came to the stage of a big scene like S3, and saw his own personal fans again, plus Yun Luoyang flickered, and it was normal to be a little excited.

And there were a lot of people when I played the quarterfinals and semifinals before, but first, the quarterfinals of the quarterfinals were not so stressful, and second, the Galen Center was large enough to accommodate up to 92,000 people, which is not the same as a club like Staples Arena, which can accommodate up to 20,000 people.

The 92,000-seated hall will feel very empty and will not give the players too much oppression.

But the hall that can accommodate 20,000 people seats 12,000 people, and at a glance, it suddenly feels that the hula la is full of people, and the sense of oppression comes to the face, and it is understandable that several young men are excited with a little uneasiness.

And after a few people in FD pressed their restless hearts for a while, the time also came to 7:59.

In an instant, the lights dimmed.

The lights suddenly changed, and tens of thousands of people in the stadium suddenly became quiet, and people didn't dare to breathe, quietly watching the game table.

The host did not play, and a number suddenly appeared on the big screen on the stage.

10！

This is the countdown before the opening ceremony begins.

“ten！”

Tens of thousands of people in the audience shouted this number almost in unison, and the sound was magnificent, echoing in the stadium.

9！

“nine！”

8！

“eight！”

7！

“seven！”

.......

2！

“two！”

1！

“one！”

The final countdown shouted by the audience ended.

Boom!

Stirring music suddenly sounded.

The decisive moment of the 2013 League of Legends World Championship is officially here!
