Chapter 619: E-sports Gods and Demons, Supreme Honor Players
At the entrance of the International Convention and Exhibition Center, a transparent wall with a height of three meters stands up, and the three giant colored characters of WCG seem to be hanging in the air, and other information is spray-painted in silver gray, attracting the attention of countless passers-by.
The word WCG can be said to be well-known, from the elders who know the age of the mandate of heaven, down to the elementary school monks who happily run to the Internet café with their schoolbags on their backs, and even the mentally ill patients in the four hospitals will shout to go to the WCG competition, although in the end they only squat in the WC circle.
Players and players don't need to mention it, even passers-by around them see this sign and understand: Oh, it turns out that WCG has begun. The person who pulled his friend and asked what WCG was definitely just came out of the Great Khing'an Mountains.
South Korea, as an e-sports country, has only 30,000 viewers at the peak of the OGN League, but the audience of the WCG World Finals has exceeded 100,000 for two consecutive years, reaching a maximum of 150,000 people.
There are 45 million e-sports fans in China, and it is the most popular LOL national tournament at present, with more than 20,000 spectators.
"So many people? Are there any big-name celebrities coming to Shanghai? A pot-bellied middle-aged man asked the driver on the left.
There are actually not many star chasers in this world, and ordinary celebrities are surrounded by hundreds of people when they travel, and being surrounded by thousands of fans is definitely at the level of a king and a queen.
At this time, there were 20,000 spectators!
The visual impact of a few thousand and twenty thousand is not at the same level at all, the former can still roughly estimate the number, and the latter only feels crowded.
"No, Mr. Xu, this is the WCG opening ceremony." As a young person, the driver also knows a lot about e-sports.
"Oh, WCG, WCG has so many people coming to see it live? If you advertise on this, it will definitely work well. Mr. Xu took a sip of hard gold sand. Start thinking about ad placement.
First-line celebrity endorsements start at one million, even if they are outdated first-line stars, the endorsement fee of hundreds of thousands is the lowest, and the level of the king is as high as 10 million; However, the influence of a star does not seem to be as big as that of a game, and it will not be better to spend this advertising money on the game to promote it.
Seeing this scene, of course, Mr. Xu is not the only one who has such thoughts.
The general audience will not think about these, focusing on the upcoming opening match.
The WCG Opening Ceremony is customary to invite star players to perform exhibition matches, and the two players invited at this time are the WCG Hall of Fame 'Human Emperor' SKY and the 'Tower Demon' INFI, who is known as the sixth race.
These are two players who have the honor of being World WCG Champions!
Although the main games of the Human Emperor and the Tower Demon are WAR and SC, the exhibition matches are only for entertainment. It's not really about two people fighting each other to the death, so the two top players will use the upper single to fight the winner in the LOL field that they are not good at.
With the appearance of e-sports gods and demons, the stadium resounded with cheers like a tsunami.
Needless to say, the rising star INQI has also won more than a dozen world and national championship honors, if the current batch of e-sports players is a brilliant meteor, SKT and INFI are undoubtedly the eternal existence of the sun and the moon.
The professional players present also showed enough respect for the two of them.
With the gradual popularity of LOL, the salary of first-line professional players has reached about five figures. However, if it weren't for these predecessors who have overcome obstacles for more than ten years, e-sports is still a desperate road to the cliff.
Of course. The appearance of the two is undoubtedly an incentive, and there is no player who does not want to make his mark in the history of esports.
As for Pan Sen's direct W face, he will not AE combo but the small details of going out directly...... Ahem, it doesn't matter.
After an exhibition match. WCG China has officially begun!
On the blue screen, the team IDs flashed, and the final frame was WZ and ZYY. The brilliant fire effect exploded in an instant.
The contestants took the stage, and the cheers rang out again.
With the home advantage, the WZ team undoubtedly has a much higher support rate, and many spectators have prepared signs with watercolor pens written on the team name and player ID.
"These two teams are very popular." Walking back behind the scenes, the tower demon INQI couldn't help but feel a little surprised to see that the audience's enthusiasm was not much inferior to that of the two when they appeared on the stage.
I just won the WCG championship honor, and my popularity is at its peak, and the human emperor SKY can be called an e-sports myth, even so, the gap between the audience's expressions after the two sides took the stage is not very large.
You must know that when ordinary players and teams take the stage, the audience applauds even if it gives face, and it is very common to introduce a newcomer who is mediocre, and it is also a great test for newcomers.
"Well, this WZ team is very strong, especially their top list, which has been close to invincible for half a year, and is known as the Demon King in the LOL world, you see the sign in the audience's hand that says the Demon King." Human Emperor SKY smiled and nodded.
Tower Demon INFI belongs to the VG team that has not yet entered LOL, and SKY is the leader of the LOL branch of the ME team, so of course his understanding of LOL is not at the same level.
"Not bad." INFI, of course, knows what it means to have such a title, just like the 'Night King' and 'Ghost King', reaching the commanding heights in a field.
"But isn't it a bit of a killing?" INFI was then a little worried.
Any famous player has several years of experience, Tamo INFI is known as a 'rising star', 'SKY successor', in fact, it has been a full 6 years of competition, and SKY is a 'young player', but it is no problem to say that it is an e-sports predecessor in front of other players.
When looking at the new generation of players, of course, it is with the eyes of the predecessors.
Normally, a newcomer who upsets the championship will definitely not achieve the achievement of being crowned king, even if he loses the next game, the audience will not have any accusations, on the contrary, if the player with too high a voice declines in state, it is easy to be led by public opinion to collapse.
After all, people are group animals, even if it is Mr. Zhou Shuren, he is only 'cross-eyebrowed' to the 'Qianfu finger', and no one can be indifferent.
These are also the two levels that esports players must go through to reach the top.
"Demon Moon's recent games are really too good, I hope not." The human emperor SKY doesn't want that kind of regrettable situation to really happen.
The player information appeared on the big screen one by one, and was finally replaced by the metal-style WCG logo, and dozens of seconds later, the first round of the China WCG National Championship officially began! (To be continued......)
