Chapter 8: Before the Games (2)
Everyone chatted for a while, and two Hanbok teams came slowly from the rear. Seeing that the team members arrived, the leaders of the competition asked them to find their seats and sit down and arrange specific matters.
The leaders of the competition side spoke too quickly in English, and Gao Lin didn't understand it very well, and Zuihou was Xiao Zifeng, who was proficient in English, to talk to them. Other foreign teams that do not understand English also have a special staff to translate for team members.
After knowing the specific arrangements of the competition, Gao Lin and everyone walked into the arena from the special channel under the leadership of the competitors.
The first to appear is the local star team of the American service, UFT.
The moment the UFT team appeared, a series of deafening whistles and shouts sounded from the audience, and everyone in Gao Lin who was waiting in the corridor to appear was shocked by their eardrums.
Immediately behind the UFT team, the appearance is the former Jaguar team in the United States.
Similarly, the audience erupted in a burst of whistling sounds.
After the Jaguar team stopped playing for about ten seconds, the three teams of the European server appeared one after another.
Compared with the two teams in the American server, the whistle shouts of the European team are much quieter.
It can be heard that most of the audience present are American audiences.
After the three teams of the European server appeared, they were followed by two Hanbok teams.
What is surprising is that the appearance of the two teams of Hanbok was almost the same as the shouts of the two teams of the United States.
It is not difficult to imagine that there are a lot of Hanbok viewers who come to watch the game.
In domestic competitions, there is a certain limit to the allocation of seats for team fans, and the maximum number cannot exceed a certain number. However, since the Toyota Sports Center has more than 18,000 seats, it is almost impossible to fill the seats, so there is no limit to the maximum number of fans of the team this time.
With a passion for esports like South Korea's, many loyal fans travel long distances to cheer on their favorite teams. Moreover, Korean clubs are very willing to spend money, and sometimes in order to create momentum for their teams, they do not hesitate to spend a lot of money to invite fans to watch the game.
After the two Korean teams played, it was followed by the two national teams.
As a national service seed team, DAGA. BenT was the first to play, naturally.
"Don't be nervous, just get used to it!" Seeing that Yang Tianshui, Su Jiantong, and Guo Haoran's expressions were all a little nervous, Lu Hai turned around and smiled.
"The problem is, we're just playing for the first time, so we're not used to it!" Yang Tianshui said with a wry smile.
Indeed, they have seen the big scenes in China, but this is the first time for them to have an international scene. After all, it was the first time for them to participate in such an international competition, and it would be false to say that they were not nervous.
"The thought of so many blonde and blue-eyed people looking at me makes my legs feel weak!" Su Jiantong also said.
"Hehe, people are not monsters, why are you soft?" Xiao Zifeng looked back and smiled.
"You've been through it a long time ago, and of course you don't think there's anything else?" Guo Haoran said.
Gao Lin smiled, turned his head to look at Xiang Huidie, and found that her pretty face also showed a hint of nervousness, and a pair of small hands were clenched tightly, showing that her heart was not at peace.
I wanted to comfort her, but because Xiao Zifeng and everyone were nearby, I didn't dare to make any moves.
However, Xiang Huidie saw his concerned eyes, just glared at him charmingly, and turned his head away. At the same time, sweetly in the heart.
Seeing the team leader's staff walk in, Lu Hai turned around and asked Gao Lin and everyone to line up and prepare to play.
As a coach, Lu Hai should stand in front, followed by team leader Xiang Huidie, and then Xiao Zifeng, Gao Lin, and Yang Tianshui......
Hearing that the staff of the competition side said that they would appear, Lu Hai took the lead in walking out of the special passage.
originally thought that there would be cheers, but unexpectedly, the audience was quiet, and only a small burst of applause came from behind the audience.
Because they were standing on the field, Gao Lin didn't dare to look back, but when they heard a howl like a wolf, they knew that it was Li Dugui, who was undoubtedly the club personnel.
It's no wonder that Huayi Star has only been established for half a year, and except for being a little famous in China, it has never shown its face internationally at all. I believe that many people in the audience don't know their team, so why applaud?
However, as if seeing Xiao Zifeng standing in front, the audience paused for a while, and soon the voices of shouting Makers sounded.
Xiao Zifeng's name is not only famous in China, but also internationally, and his fan base is also all over the country.
"Pok, we've been completely ignored!" Lowering his head, Yang Tianshui whispered.
"Be content, we're not a famous team!" Su Jiantong replied in a low voice.
"But this is too much, even if it's pretending, you have to decorate it, are they slapping your face like this?" Zhang Weiyong muttered dissatisfiedly.
"When you come on the field and get some skills, the effect will be different!" Hearing the words of the three of them, Lu Hai smiled lightly. For this kind of scene, although he was a little disappointed in his heart, he was helpless. On the stage of shijie e-sports circle, if you want to get the applause, attention, and praise of others, you must show relative strength and achievements. However, when they first came to the shijie stage, they were just a rookie who had just emerged, who would pay attention to them?
Reality is always cruel and very realistic.
Shaking his head slightly, seeing the staff in front of him signaling to walk towards the contestants' seats, Gao Lin and the others turned around and walked over.
Perhaps due to the influence of the cold appearance, sitting in the position, everyone did not speak.
Although he didn't know what they were thinking, from the fists that Yang Tianshui and the others clenched, Gao Lin understood something. I thought to myself, perhaps, the scene just now was a good thing for them.
As the saying goes, the higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment. On the contrary, if you don't have any expectations, if something suddenly happens, the bigger the surprise.
Moreover, for Gao Lin and the people, they are not concerned, not only do they not have any pressure in their hearts, but they add a kind of motivation, a desire for victory and applause.
"Max, you're still going to play ADC, right?" Sitting in the front row, a brown-haired young man with short hair turned around and greeted Xiao Zifeng in English with a smile.
He is none other than the famous SDL-47 team captain in the European server, a generation of shijie mid-laner king, Julilanko.
"Yes!" Xiao Zifeng nodded. He also said hello to Julilanko when he didn't play before, and the two of them knew each other very well.
"It was a real disappointment, I thought we had a chance to play a few fights!" Julilanko said. In his words, he revealed the demeanor of a strong man.
"Hehe, there's always a chance!" Xiao Zifeng smiled.
