Chapter 49: The Summer Tournament Opening Ceremony! (Seeking Recommendations)
June 14th, the opening day of LPL Summer Season!
Inside the Expo Park, the World Expo Grand Stage was already overcrowded, and LOL players rushed in to fill the entire venue. The entire stadium had almost no empty seats among its thousands of seats, it was packed!
As the most popular game in the world today, League of Legends' popularity in China is unquestionable. As the top-level LOL tournament in China, LPL's arena will naturally not lack passionate spectators!
Moreover, today as the opening ceremony of the summer season, all eight teams on LPL will make an appearance!
Such a grand occasion, how can the audience's enthusiasm be resisted?
"Alright everyone, welcome to the 2014 League of Legends Pro League Summer Split live event, we're back! After some opening ceremony performances ended, the formally dressed host, WaWa, appeared on stage with a microphone and loudly exclaimed: "That's right, after three seasons, the venue for the League of Legends Pro League has changed from the first season's Loft Industrial Park to the second season's Tongji University Gymnasium and now to the Shanghai World Expo Center. Our arena is getting more high-end and atmospheric, our audience numbers are also growing exponentially - almost doubling every season... So how many people do we have on site today? Please show us your enthusiasm, everyone!"
Wow~~~
As the doll pointed the microphone at the audience, the entire Expo venue suddenly erupted in thunderous applause, with thousands of spectators appearing on the live screen at the same time!
"Of course, if you still think the audience on site is a bit small, then I can tell you that the audience present on site is just a drop in the ocean of our total viewership - according to statistics, during the spring season that just ended, the total number of viewers who watched our live broadcasts online exceeded 500 million people, with an average of over 5 million viewers per match! WaWa read out a string of data from her script, and even she herself couldn't help but be amazed by the numbers - the audience for League of Legends in China is simply astronomical. Calculating this way, the total population of many countries around the world might not even be as large as the number of League of Legends players in China!"
No wonder all online game companies think of China as a place to share a pie, the domestic game market is really too huge!
"Thank you to all the League of Legends fans who came to the scene, it's a great encouragement and motivation for the league organizers and players to see you so close up at the competition venue. Thank you!
After hearing the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, WaWa continued: "I believe everyone also has a deep understanding that the greatest charm of LPL was already fully demonstrated in the previous season. For example, the incredibly strong OMG team, who have been to the playoffs three times in a row without any suspense, but surprisingly only won one league championship. There was even a time when they had a 90% regular season win rate, but ended up with only third place. This is the charm of the league - the charm lies in the fact that the team that won second place at the S3 World Championship, Royal Never Give Up, almost dropped out of the top 6 last season and was eliminated... But this season, they have made a comeback, bringing back their former world-class jungler Insec to the LPL competition, fighting for the summer league!"
"After saying so much, what I really want to say is that on the LPL battlefield, there is no eternal winner or loser. Before entering the final match, you never know which team will be the next champion!
After shouting for a long time, the doll's voice finally became hoarse, and he had to lower his tone: "Okay, everyone may not know yet, but the eight tiger wolf masters of this LPL season have already arrived. Please look at the big screen-----"
As the music soared, the live broadcast screen suddenly cut to the outside of the Expo Park, where eight stretched Lincolns appeared in an orderly manner before the audience's eyes!
Yes, this summer tournament host not only raised the level of the arena, but also planned the way the players took the stage to be very high-end!
"Yes, everyone can see that eight stretched Lincolns are slowly driving towards our Expo stage from a distance. At this moment, I have an illusion that I am not the commentator of LPL, but the host of the Oscars!
Wawa also had a thrilling experience. "That's right, today all eight teams' players will enter the venue in luxury cars. We can see on the big screen that the first team to get off the car is W1A, who entered LPL undefeated from LSPL. We can see famous players like Ling Meng, Xi Ye and Sima Old Thief getting out of the stretched Lincoln... This is a young team that has never been on our LPL stage before..."
Next, we can see that the team getting off from the second car is YC. Their support player, Mr. Yan, was the first to get out of the car, and the last one to appear on stage was their mid laner, Wen Jian - . The host felt like her throat was going to catch fire, but she still had to force a smile in front of the camera. "I don't know if everyone remembers the passionate scene where Wen Jian single-handedly killed the enemy top laner five times with his alligator-like skills back when he played top lane. At that time, his ID was still 'Electric Pole', but now it's been changed to Wen Jian - . It's said that he can transform into a defensive tower at any time, and is so stable that it makes people feel intimidated from the bottom of their hearts."
"Just kidding, the third team to enter is Kingzone DragonX. The first thing that catches our eyes is Uzi's slightly chubby baby face, and the dog team is enthusiastically waving at us, so cute! The tone of the doll changes extremely quickly. "Wow wow wow, Insec is the last one to appear, as the biggest surprise of this LPL season, I believe he will bring a different kind of challenge to our league, as well as to our domestic teams - Haha, because of Sake, Weilicai Mutou...""
“…………”
Then we see the fourth luxury car, if I'm not mistaken, this should be the LCD team that finished fifth in the spring season. We can see that the first one to get off the car is their mid laner... Originally, WaWa had just shown off his English skills in front of millions of players and was full of enthusiasm, but when he saw the familiar face coming out of the fourth extended Lincoln, his loud voice suddenly got stuck, as if a sound system that had been cut off.
That's right, the handsome figure that appeared on the big screen is Chen Cheng. He wore the LCD team uniform for the first time and was leading the team into the venue under the guidance of the staff!
"Sorry, this slightly unfamiliar face is the new mid laner of LCD team, Invincible Flying Cat. I believe everyone will soon find out that he is an unforgettable mid laner----- From the tone of the host's voice, it can be clearly heard that this well-known commentator who has hosted numerous large-scale ceremonies and competitions was somewhat flustered, and even now he still has some lingering fear from those two matches a few days ago-----"
Even after the match ended that day, he went online to collect Chen Cheng's personal data and competition videos. He didn't calm down until he found out that this guy had won 27 consecutive games to become the strongest king in the national server, and had exploded the famous professional player Nuofeng and Wuwu Kai without any assistance from his teammates.
It turns out that in that match, Snake's blind monk was caught and killed three times in a row, it wasn't an accident, this guy really has precognitive abilities!
The doll has regretted not taking that person seriously on live broadcast that day. Even the original W1 and Wang Zuan war team's pillar can be blown up, what can be achieved by winning a humble Snake war team?
After watching Chen Chen's figure disappear from the live broadcast screen, when introducing the next few teams, WaWa no longer had his previous passion, even if the later teams that appeared were all top domestic teams such as W1, EDG and IC, he was always in a state of distraction!
Nobody knows that the doll just made a major decision in his heart, which is to pretend to be forced when LCD plays against Wangzu tomorrow, and tell them what it means to recognize heroes, what it means to be the first commentator of LPL, and why he can always occupy the throne of LOL's first commentator despite not being very strong.
You only know Insec's strength, but you haven't seen how sinister this guy is. Just wait and see, tomorrow's match will show you what it means to be slapped in the face and slap yourself in the face. It will absolutely blind your dog eyes!
It was almost unexpected that when the various teams finished their performances and the live broadcast cut back to the doll, hundreds of millions of viewers watching the live broadcast on their computers suddenly saw this scene: a well-known commentator had green lights flashing in his eyes, with a lustful smile on his face, and even the two Qilin arms holding the microphone and script were twitching up and down like they were having spasms, looking just like a perverted fan who had seen an AV actress from Japan.
The doll has gone a bit crazy...
No one knew that on the grand stage of the World Expo, under the gaze of thousands of spectators, TJA Yige, who had been ridiculed by players and slapped in the face by other commentators for years, had already begun to plot his own revenge plan...
After all, such a rare opportunity is not often encountered in the commentary booth...
