Chapter 145: It's cool for a while
With the WEA upset, they defeated the favorite and the world No. 1 team M5 at the time in two games.
The audience burst into enthusiastic cheers.
The five WEAs stood up and walked to the center of the stage and waved to everyone.
The host excitedly praised WEA in English, and at the same time invited TPA to the stage and did the closing ceremony of the semi-finals together.
Although no golden rain fell, the atmosphere of the audience was enthusiastic, and some people shouted, "WEA, WEA." ”
The audience burst into warm applause.
After the closing ceremony and when they left, a large number of esports media flocked to interview them.
The development of esports in North America is a little earlier than that of China and even South Korea, as early as the era of StarCraft, they had the concept of e-sports, and over time, the related industry chain is very mature.
By 2015, the annual revenue of the world esports industry reached $3.25 billion.
Among them, 1.2 billion in North America, 470 million in South Korea, and 370 million in China.
By 2017, that number had grown to $6.96 billion, with North America still leading the way, accounting for the largest share of $2.58 billion. China, on the other hand, has only 1.04 billion, less than half of the revenue of the North American esports industry.
From this figure, it can be seen that the esports industry has long had a mature industrial chain in North America, and as a result, a large number of game media have been born.
These gaming media are not only available online, but can also be seen in newspapers, magazines, and even home TV stations.
It can be said that esports at that time was not as popular in North America as it was in China. Instead, he walked in front of various TV stations in a beautiful manner, and even Naughty Dog was on the news of major TV stations when Shenhai and the End of the United States were released, although it was not a headline, but the mainstream media in North America did not reject games.
With the gradual popularity of the game League of Legends in North America, the S2 World Championship has also been favored by major game media. Not only well-known game media in Europe and the United States came to interview, but even local TV stations in California also reported on the spot.
WEA's defeat of M5 is much more exciting than the news that they beat CEU. As the current world No. 1 and the favorite to win the championship, M5 naturally attracts more attention than CEU.
So when WEE beat M5, some media even thought of the headline on the spot.
"The old king's dynasty has fallen, and a new dynasty has risen!"
Yun Luoyang and the team stepped down.
On the way to the backstage, they were blocked by the media, and everyone wanted to come and interview them.
"Tyro, can I ask you a question?"
"Tyro, we're from the NGA Game Forum and want to interview you."
"Tyro, we're reddit ......"
At a cursory glance, I am afraid that there are more than 20 e-sports media blocking them, so that the staff of Riot have to stand up to maintain order.
"How about an interview?"
Abu asked Yun Luoyang in a low voice.
Yun Luoyang said with a smile: "Of course." ”
He's going to slap this group of media in the face, telling you to hack me two days ago.
Here's an explanation.
There was no official post-match interview at S2.
In other words, Aftershock, Immortal Grip and these people will not appear here. And there's no such thing as a post-match media reception, just the esports media themselves doing interviews and reporting on their own media channels.
So the WEA can actually decline these interviews.
But Yun Luoyang didn't want to refuse.
Two days ago, these North American media were crazy about hacking themselves, if they don't retaliate and come back, how can they be the first in the world?
He turned his head and stood on the steps, looking at them condescendingly.
"I'll be interviewed by you, one by one."
He narrowed his eyes into a slit.
There is a knife hidden in the smile, this is.
"Tyro, I want to ask you, why are the members of your team always sick and have to move you to every position?"
A woman's voice rang out below.
Yun Luoyang lowered his head and saw the female reporter who interviewed him at the beginning, remembering that it seemed to be the media of the Gamasutra game forum, and they were the ones who took the lead in hacking themselves.
He looked at her with a smile and said, "There is an old saying in our Chinese that oranges are born in Huainan and oranges are born in Huaibei. Our athletes are doing well in China, and they get sick as soon as they come to the United States, shouldn't you reflect on the feng shui problems you have here? ”
The concept of feng shui in the United States is much stronger than in China, because many Chinese came to settle in the United States during the war era, bringing Chinese superstitious concepts of feng shui to the United States, and it spread widely, and many Americans are superstitious about feng shui.
Therefore, the female reporter also understands the meaning of feng shui, and this sentence made her choke.
But she is not a good stubble, and immediately said to Mai Mang: "In this case, then why are they sick and you are not sick?" ”
That's a good question, then I ask you, why were you born? Why is your face so thick with makeup? Why don't you eat a little cosmetics to give you a little inner beauty? ”
Yun Luoyang unceremoniously slammed back, making the female reporter so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Why is this person's mouth so cheap?
Didn't you offend him once last time?
As for being so careful?
A male reporter next to him shouted: "Tyro, please pay attention to your demeanor, what is the ability to bully women." ”
Yun Luoyang sneered: "I remember that a few days ago, everyone here regarded throwing shoes as a very graceful thing, not only blackmailing me in their own media, but also distorting my words and smearing us WEA, I really don't know where you came from today to interview me again." ”
"We also reported based on facts, you did say that the European and American teams are weak!"
Some people are not angry.
"That ....."
Yun Luoyang paused, looked at them with a smile, and showed a mouthful of white teeth: "Tell me now, is there something wrong with what I said?" ”
Am I wrong?
The media in the audience looked at each other.
As of now.
With M5, the last hope of Europe and the United States, defeated by WEA, the European and American teams seem to have collapsed across the board and stopped in the semi-finals.
The two finalists are all Asian teams, one from China's WAEA and one from Baodao Province.
And.
It seems that they are all Chinese.
From this point of view, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.
But aren't our reports all from the other day? At that time, the devil knew that the M5 would be hung up and beaten by you?
So when we said that, there is nothing wrong with hacking you so much.
Is this person so vindictive?
Moreover, although we did hack you a few days ago, Riot did not make any punishment provisions, and you have nothing to lose.
Now that you are still so arrogant, you are not afraid that we will continue to hack you?
But think about it.
WEE is a Chinese team, and it is a big deal to return to China after the game. It doesn't matter if you're black or not, you won't lose a piece of meat. These media seem to have nothing to do with Yun Luoyang.
"Of course, I'm not a stingy person, I'll ask our club manager to make a list of people who haven't hacked me a few days ago, and if any of you want to interview me, or any of the players in our club, I'll tell you to go to our club lounge later."
Yun Luoyang, under the maintenance of the Riot staff, asked the people below to get out of the way, and said loudly: "Okay, I'm going to the lounge, the specific details, what do you want to ask, I'll talk about it later." ”
Under the gaze of all the media, Yun Luoyang and WEA, everyone swaggered away.
Back in the lounge, Yun Luoyang was in a relaxed mood as drinking a bottle of iced sour plum soup on a summer day.
The more you think about it, the more angry you get, and the more you take a step back, the more you lose.
It's cool for a while, and it's always cool for people.
After successfully taking revenge on this group of unscrupulous media, he felt much more comfortable.
But he didn't do it all, after all, only part of him was hacked at that time, and the other part still had some conscience, so I'll talk to Abu later, let Abu make a list, and choose some good media for interviews.
Right now.
They are the winners, and they are not the American team, so there is no need to care about the attitude of the American media.
