Chapter 59: The Quarterfinals Begin
At the end of the DAGA game in the evening, Gao Lin and Xiao Zifeng went to have supper with Zeng Wenfeng and other domestic commentators. Since there will be a Huayi Star match at noon tomorrow, Gao Lin and the others did not dare to delay too late, and after supper, they hurriedly returned to the team with Xiao Zifeng to settle in the hotel to rest.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Gao Lin woke up, washed up, had breakfast with Lu Hai and the others, and walked to the training room as soon as the team members were formed.
The game doesn't start until half past one, and while there are still two or three hours left, they can warm up in the training room and get familiar with the feel of the hand, so that they don't have to wait for the game to feel too stiff.
It was only more than an hour of training, and the staff of the competition team rushed to the stadium to adjust the machine, see if there was anything inappropriate, and adjust it in advance, so as not to wait for the game to go wrong and affect the process of the game. Now that the quarterfinals have arrived, the competition has strict requirements for all aspects, after all, the quarterfinals are different from the previous qualifiers.
If nothing else, there is a big difference between live media alone. For example, in the quarterfinals, the media that came to broadcast live were only the national media of the two sides, but when it came to the quarterfinals, the e-sports media that came to broadcast live were gathered from all over the world. There is no other reason, the one who can enter the quarterfinals of this finals should be the top team in the shijie e-sports circle in the future, in the face of this kind of peak showdown, no country is willing to let go of the opportunity of this live broadcast.
Since the e-sports media from all over the world have come to broadcast live, the competition party should naturally be careful and strive to make a grand e-sports feast, so as to increase the popularity and influence of the event.
Following the competition personnel to the area where the Haode players had already been arranged, Gao Lin and the others carefully checked the machines they had selected, and after feeling that there was no problem, a few people followed the Lu Haihui team to the hotel where they settled for lunch.
After lunch, the team members hurried to the Toyota Sports Center and sat in the athletes' area under the arrangement of the competition staff.
In this quarterfinals, the personnel arranged by Lu Hai are no different from the qualifying rounds, namely Gao Lin, Xiao Zifeng, Su Jiantong, Guo Haoran, and Yang Tianshui.
Although he still failed to play, Zhang Weiyong did not complain at all, but sat next to him and constantly encouraged Gao Lin and everyone.
On the stage, after the two male and female hosts whispered in English for a few minutes, they suddenly called Gao Lin and the other opponent, the AFB team.
After hearing this, a beautiful girl took five Korean contestants to the stage.
I have to say that Koreans really have a bit of a unique essence of makeup, like the two young people standing on the left, who look crooked and cracked, but once they dress up in clothes and refine their hairstyles and face powder, they suddenly seem to have the seventy-two changes of Sun Monkey, and almost the whole person has changed his appearance.
With the introduction of the two male and female hosts, the five Korean Abba (elder brothers) also made various conscious and handsome actions, which immediately attracted hundreds of Korean male and female fans in the audience to scream and shout, and some fanatical female fans even stood up from their seats and pulled their throats to let out a pig-like howl.
In this situation, Gao Lin couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the degree of heat of e-sports in South Korea is not an ordinary fire, it is like a large-scale sports competition. Relatively speaking, compared with others, domestic e-sports are more than two or three cuts behind. I don't know when domestic e-sports will develop to this level.
Seriously, there is no shortage of e-sports talents in China, like Xiao Zifeng, the powerful shijie e-sports king, Luohua Tingyu, the e-sports king who also dominated for a while, Leng Wuya, Song Qiaoyu, Jing Yisen, Zhang Zhou, Jing is a beauty, PBSYToke and many other talented players, it can be said that if domestic e-sports can develop and become brilliant, there will be more talented players to rise.
Domestic e-sports has only been developed for nearly ten years, and it can become the fourth e-sports country in Shijie, which in itself is enough to reflect the transcendent potential of domestic e-sports, and it is no exaggeration to say that if domestic e-sports really rise, let alone South Korea, even Europe and the United States, it will be difficult to compete.
Of course, if you want the rise of domestic e-sports, the difficulty is not ordinary, among them, the domestic concept is one of the most important influencing factors, today's Chinese parents, nine times out of ten will regard e-sports as a plaything game, if children occasionally play casually, to take it as a career, I'm afraid no parent will agree. After all, there are not many people who take the road of e-sports in China. Parents haven't seen too many successful examples, how can they let their children bet their future on this e-sports trail that will not see the light of day?
This can't be blamed on parents for being short-sighted, after all, people are all realistic, they are people, they all have to eat and sleep, and they have seven emotions and six desires. There is no parent who does not want their children to have a better life and a greater future.
After the five Korean contestants were introduced one after another, the two male and female hosts talked about the names of Huayi Star again.
Knowing that it was their turn to take the stage, Gao Lin's five contestants got up from their seats one after another and followed Xiang Huidie to the stage.
To Gao Lin's surprise, the moment they came to the stage, many people in the audience shouted, and several foreign audiences even held up Xiao Zifeng's personal photo high.
The six of them stood in a column, and soon, the two male and female hosts turned around and looked for the information that the contestant had already given to Haode and read the information of Gao Lin's five contestants one by one.
"Huayi Star, this team, I think there are many friends who will be unfamiliar, but one person from their team, I believe most of the people here know each other! That's right, he is the WCG Triple Crown, the e-sports genius who once swept the whole shijie, Max-" Turning to look at the big screen, the beautiful hostess introduced Xiao Zifeng extremely provocatively.
Xiao Zifeng humbly waved his hand to the audience, and did not play too handsome or anything. But even so, there were still bursts of frenzied shrill shouts in the audience. Xiao Zifeng is a legend in the e-sports circle, whether it is at home or abroad, his fame is unparalleled.
The beautiful female host briefly introduced Xiao Zifeng, and the handsome male host immediately introduced Yang Tianshui who was standing in Xiao Zifeng. Compared with Xiao Zifeng's sensational words, Gao Lin and the four people were introduced later, and the two hosts were very bland.
It's no wonder that the four Gao Lin are now famous, in the United States, a country where strength is respected, there is no fame and honor, how can they be respected accordingly?
After the two hosts introduced Gao Lin and the others, they continued to say a few words, and then asked Gao Lin and the others to go to the player area to prepare for the competition.
