Chapter 365 [Arrival! 】(5200)

On the night of the Hong Kong qualifiers, the CHN team boarded an international flight to Jakarta.

Athletes in other project groups are not like the LOL project, they need to go through a qualifier screening, so they flew to Jakarta two days ago.

The athletes of the League of Legends project are the last batch.

In the noisy cabin, Su Chen made a lot of effort to get to his seat from the crowded aisle. After stuffing his suitcase into the cabinet above his head, he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Tian behind him. .

Suantou bastard was a little unsteady when he was hit by passengers coming and going, and he didn't lift the suitcase in one breath. Fortunately, Su Chen reached out in time, so he didn't let him fall on his back.

"The young hero has good arms!" Suan Tou Wang Ba gave a thumbs up, and his bangs, which were wet with sweat, were stuck to his forehead and divided into strands, which was a bit joyful.

It wasn't until Su Chen sat firmly in his own position that he had time to look at the situation of other people.

Uzi and Xiao Ming sat two rows behind them, the factory manager and Xi Ye were near the entrance of the engine room, and the members of the coaching staff were scattered everywhere.

The ordering of the seats is also a bit confusing.

"Oh, I thought the specifications of the Asian Games were different. I feel that the specifications of this plane are not as good as the one we flew to Paris before." Xiaotian said a little tiredly.

"That time in Paris, we took the business class. Although it was a short distance, the price was not cheap. This time, more than 100 people flew to Jakarta, and the organizing committee arranged the economy class. There is no problem." Su Chen didn't care, picked up the seat I flipped through the Indonesian travel brochure on my desk.

Although I also went to Indonesia with the company's tour group in my previous life, I visited a few places on a whim.

But this time, Su Chen was participating in the Jakarta Games as an athlete of the national team. This status made him feel a little changed, and he had a lot of expectations in his heart.

After flipping through more than a dozen pages of travel brochures, Su Chen turned to look at Xiaotian, and found that he was looking at the phone with a smirk, and Su Chen leaned over to take a look, and found that he was chatting with his left hand.

The chat records of the two are also gay.

Zhuo Ding: "Baby, are you on the plane? I miss you."

Xiaotian: "How much do you think?"

Zhuo Ding: "Thinking that I'm already sick, the doctor told me to get an infusion, I miss your infusion..."

Su Chen couldn't help laughing, he also took out his mobile phone, and chatted in YM's WeChat group for a while before taking off.

Because the summer regular season ended half a month earlier, except for Xiao Tian and Su Chen, the rest of YM took a short vacation.

PDD is also very good at making troubles. He directly took the three brothers Zhang Xiaowen, Gala, and the left hand, and then joined the pony to form a five-black team. The live broadcast was very fun, and there were many of them on Weibo and Douyin. Clips from live broadcasts.

Coupled with Su Chen and Xiaotian's enthusiasm for the Asian Games, YM is now the top club in the LPL in terms of popularity.

In addition, Su Chen also learned the news that the left hand has accepted the invitation of the live broadcast of Tuwei, and will explain YM's games in the Asian Games.

The exact match hasn't been decided yet, but Su Chen thinks it's quite fresh.

This time for the Asian Games, due to the broadcast copyright regulations, the official commentators of LPL, such as Doll, Miller, Guan Zeyuan, and remember these people, cannot participate in the commentary work of the Asian Games.

I can only go to Jakarta in a private capacity to cheer for CHN on the spot.

However, the flexibility of the live broadcast of Tuwei is also very flexible, and the commentary list was finalized in just a few days.

The commentary team is mainly composed of LOL game anchors and retired professional players, and also invited some players from the LPL representative team involved in CHN, such as Meiko, Letme, 957 and so on.

The lineup is still very interesting.

"Afghan contestants dare to go on the commentary stage, can your Mandarin audience understand?" Xiaotian immediately laughed mercilessly.

As we all know, when the Knight player broadcasts live, he needs to translate the young lady with subtitles.

The left hand is also very helpless: "I don't want to go either, anyone called Viagra (Gala) and Brother Wen refused, and the prostitute teacher called me to go, I can't help it..."

Gala is inherently shy, and coupled with her focus on improving her own level, it is reasonable to refuse.

As for Zhang Xiaowen, who has a contract with Dou Sha, it is inconvenient to participate in the live broadcast of Tuwei.

So this errand fell on the left hand.

In Su Chen's mind, he imagined the appearance of wearing a suit with his left hand, standing on the commentary stand and commenting the game with a thick accent, and he was a little stunned.

However, Tuwei’s arrangement must have cost a lot of money. Compared with the experience of watching the game in the past life, which could only watch live broadcasts, the treatment of the Asian Games in Jakarta this time is already a world of difference.

Su Chen couldn't help but have more expectations.

……

After a rough night.

The plane finally arrived at Jakarta International Airport.

During the notification sound, Su Chen also took off the blindfold, stretched his aching body, and got off the plane with the mighty crowd after the plane landed.

The moment I stepped out of the cabin, the sun hit my face, followed by extremely humid and hot air.

Su Chen wiped her face subconsciously, feeling like she couldn't breathe.

"Jakarta is close to the equator. August is a relatively hot and humid climate. It may be uncomfortable for everyone to get out of the air-conditioned room. It will be fine when you get on the bus." Abu gathered the members of CHN together and counted the number of people.

"Why don't we go have a meal first, I feel a little hypoglycemic." Uzi looked around.

"This is absolutely impossible," Abu said seriously. "From now on, we can only eat the food provided by the Asian Games Village. If something goes wrong in the urine test tomorrow, it will be a big trouble."

When everyone heard this, they immediately remembered about the urine test, and they didn't dare to mention the matter of eating anymore.

"Now that everyone is abroad, every move represents the motherland. You must be cautious in your words and deeds. When you leave the terminal building, many media will come to interview you randomly. If you find us, you must be polite. Be more generous in your speech, you must know that you are now athletes of the national team!"

Abu was afraid that the contestants would have problems, and after talking earnestly for several minutes, Meng Ma took out a five-star red flag from his bag.

"As required by the organization, let's take a group photo after getting off the plane to provide some material for the promotional friends, and let's commemorate it ourselves." Meng Ma smiled.

"Come on, come on." Abu clapped his hands skillfully, calling the players to huddle together.

Su Chen, who was the tallest, stood in the back row of the line, with Uzi and the factory manager in front of him, while Xiaotian, Xiye, and Xiao Ming stood on both sides of the line.

The members of the coaching staff saw every stitch and made up the team's formation according to their height.

"Do you want to pose?" Abu asked with a smile while Meng Ma was tinkering with the selfie stick.

Su Chen and the factory manager looked at each other, then at Uzi, and then they both raised their right hands and gave a thumbs up.

The rest immediately cooperated.

Soon, after Meng Ma adjusted the countdown on his phone, he hurried back to the team.

The phone rang with a beep.

The first group photo of CHN in Jakarta was born.

After taking the photos, everyone also carried their suitcases and entered the terminal building.

The first time Su Chen walked out of the terminal, he saw a lot of international reporters with cameras and badges.

With dark skin and thick eyebrows, he looks like a local Indonesian.

The blond, blue-eyed, bearded ones are some reporters from Europe and America.

Immediately after the contestants showed up, the scene became restless. Reporters from all walks of life rushed to their goals with their own equipment, like warriors heading to the battlefield.

The most popular person on the scene is still Faker. There are more than a dozen media outlets standing around him, wrapping him in an airtight manner.

Next came Su Chen, Uzi, and the factory director, the three leading figures in LPL at the moment.

Everyone who originally wanted to go skating, but after seeing the menacing reporter and the black camera, they could only cooperate honestly.

"Welcome to Jakarta! JKD player! Is this your first time in Indonesia? What is your impression of our city?" A local Indonesian reporter said in Chinese.

Su Chen smiled slightly: "I have always wanted to travel to Indonesia. There are many delicious foods and scenery here. This time I have the opportunity to come to Jakarta, and I am looking forward to it."

Hearing what Su Chen said, the Indonesian reporter was also very proud. He ignored the urging of other reporters and continued to ask.

"You guys successfully qualified as the No. [-] seed in the qualifiers, and your results are very good. What is your goal for this trip to Jakarta?"

"Of course the champion." Su Chen said without hesitation.

Next, he answered several questions from other reporters.

For example, what is the current state of the team, will there be any changes in the style of play in the group stage, and how did you get along during the training camp.

Su Chen, who has undergone professional training, also answered the questions seamlessly, and left a good impression on the international reporters.

Just as he was about to leave, a small-eyed reporter questioned him, making him stop.

"What do JKD players think of the grouping situation in the group stage? You are not in the same group as the Hanguo team. Will this affect CHN's game plan?"

Is the situation of the group stage grouping out?

Su Chen was a little puzzled, then looked at the reporter, and recognized him immediately.

Before the MSI finals, he also accepted an interview with this reporter from LCK, so he still has some impressions.

"I just got off the plane, and I don't know the grouping situation yet, but no matter who is in the same group, we will take the game seriously, and it won't make any difference," Su Chen said lightly, and turned to glance The Indonesian reporter just now said, "However, the Indonesian team is what I most want to play against in Jakarta."

The reporters surrounding Su Chen suddenly laughed, and the reporter from the Han Country team who asked the question also had a cloudy expression, and could hear the meaning behind Su Chen's words.

After finishing this wave of interviews, Su Chen didn't dare to stay longer, fearing that another reporter would surround him, so he picked up his suitcase and hurried towards the outside of the terminal building.

The CHN special bus with the five-star red flag on it was parked nearby, and Abu and Meng Ma were standing at the door of the bus, waving at Su Chen.

"Why are you so late, we have been waiting for you for a long time." Meng Ma asked.

"Are you all so fast?" Su Chen was also a little surprised. No wonder he didn't find Uzi or the factory manager when he finished the interview.

The moment he got on the bus, the cold air hit his face, and Su Chen felt much better.

Only in Jakarta did he feel that air conditioning is so important.

"Did a reporter ask you about the grouping situation just now? We don't seem to be in the same group as the Han Country team." Uzi asked.

"It's the reporter from the LCK, right? What that means is, do we have the confidence to meet Hanguo in the finals? Why are we so confident?" The factory manager shook his head, "We lost once at MSI, and it hasn't been long. memory?"

Su Chen didn't care about these things. She checked on her mobile phone and learned that the organizing committee had already completed the lottery ceremony in the morning.

The eight teams in the group stage were divided into two groups, A and B, for a double round-robin within the group.

Group A: China, Indonesia, Vietnam, Saudi Arabia

Group B: Han Country, Taipei, Kazakhstan, Pakistan

"Did we draw the lottery so well?" Su Chen was quite surprised.

In Group A, apart from Vietnam having a little strength, Indonesia and Saudi Arabia are basically just going through the motions. This lottery is tantamount to allowing CHN to be sent to the semi-finals.

"You don't even look at who we are in the same group. Rather than saying that we are lucky, it is better to say that we are blessed by the host?" Abu laughed.

Su Chen looked at the group again, and instantly understood.

Among the eight teams, Hanguo and Taipei in the first echelon were squeezed into Group B, in order to give Indonesia a chance to qualify as the second seed in Group A.

If the rules didn't allow it, the organizing committee would have thrown Huaxia, Taipei, and Hanguo directly into Group B, but unfortunately it couldn't do that.

It was only then that Su Chen understood why the Indonesian reporter at the terminal was so enthusiastic. It turned out that it was because they were in the same group.

"In that case, we will really only meet the Han Country team in the final." Su Chen pondered.

In group B, the cold country team must be the first place to qualify, and the knockout round is a matchup between the first and second places in a different group. Unless Indonesia or Vietnam really explodes, CHN is unlikely to qualify for No.2.

In fact, it is not a bad thing to be in the same group. Meeting in the group stage can familiarize each other with each other's style of play, and the follow-up games will be more fully prepared.

Now we can only place our hopes on the warhorse, to see if he can force out some of the cold country team's cards.

After chatting in groups, Su Chen drew the curtain beside her, and was about to close her eyes and rest up again.

A short-haired female reporter entered the compartment before the bus started.

"Hey, it's you?" Su Chen recognized her.

This is the CCTV female reporter he met in the cafeteria on the first day of the Shenzhen training camp.

"We meet again." She smiled slightly, then greeted Abu and explained her purpose of coming.

"The program team of CCTV wants to do an exclusive interview with you. This is reporter Wang. Please cooperate. This is my own person. You can open up the conversation." Abu confessed to Su Chen.

"No wonder I didn't see CCTV reporters at the terminal." Su Chen suddenly realized.

The two moved to the back row of the bus, and then began a brief interview.

"Hi contestant Su Chen, I forgot to introduce you last time. My name is Wang Bingbing. I am very glad to meet you in Jakarta. I cut the interview video of your cafeteria by myself." Wang Bingbing showed a sly smile.

"Thank you, it's a great cut. I even sent that video to my parents." Su Chen said sincerely.

Wang Bingbing nodded, turned on the recorder, and recorded in the notebook while asking questions.

"As the most outstanding member of the new generation of e-sports players, you have achieved dazzling results in the professional arena this year. You have successively won the LPL Spring League Championship, the MSI Mid-Season Championship, and won many key games, but This trip to Jakarta, you are participating as an athlete of the national team, both your teammates and the nature of the game have changed, do you think there is any difference?" Wang Bingbing asked first.

Su Chen pondered for a moment, then said cautiously: "I think the biggest difference is that the responsibility on my body is heavier. Going out for the country is not just a slogan. I didn't feel much in Hong Kong, but the moment I arrived in Jakarta, I felt I feel that I am being tested by the whole world, so not only my performance on the field, I hope that off the field, I can also meet the standards of a national team player."

"Well, it's great." Wang Bingbing nodded in satisfaction, and then asked.

"This year is the first time that an e-sports event has been selected for the Asian Games as an exhibition event. As an e-sports player, how do you view this event? Do you think it will have any impact on the future development of e-sports?"

After a few seconds of silence, Su Chen recalled, "Our psychological counseling coach in Shenzhen, Mr. Huang Jing, he explained to us the development history of e-sports."

"In 2003, the State Sports General Administration officially approved e-sports as the 99th official sports event. It is exactly 15 years ago. It is the hard work of countless predecessors to be able to enter the Asian Games."

"I feel lucky to have caught up with a good era, but I believe that this is not the best era for e-sports yet."

"This time the Asian Games will allow more people to understand the charm of e-sports and promote the normalization of the industry. As practitioners, we will have more games to play and relatively more income. This is very practical. benefits," Su Chen paused, then continued.

"But no matter what stage the industry develops to, the spirit of e-sports will not change. To pass on this point is what our generation of players should do."

Hearing Su Chen's words, not only Wang Bingbing was a little moved, but even the rest of CHN who had been eavesdropping on the interview with the two in the front row of the car couldn't help but look at each other, their eyes sparkling.

Su Chen's words were also the true thoughts of other people.

Ten years ago, the development of the e-sports industry was still very poor, let alone making money. Many people in the industry were doing power generation for love, and they were sloppy and engaged in this industry with their passion.

Today, e-sports has entered the arena of international sports, and its status has been officially recognized.

It seems to be an earth-shaking change, but the inner e-sports spirit still needs to be passed on by this generation.

Not only for fame and fortune, but also for love and dreams.

"I have to say that your speech is really not like a player who has only played for a year, which is amazing."

"But I can feel that you really love this profession," Wang Bingbing said appreciatively, "I look forward to more players like you appearing in the future, and wish you all the gold medals in Jakarta!"

"It will." Su Chen said firmly.

After adding a few more questions, Wang Bingbing ended the interview with Su Chen, and then ran to the front row of the car to communicate with the coaching staff.

Su Chen was finally able to catch her breath. After leaning against the window and squinting for a while, the bus finally stopped.

The Asian Games Village has arrived.
