Rise

Indeed, as An Xin said, after all, this finals is held in Europe and not in China. At least in terms of the venue specifications at this stage of the group stage, people are definitely not completely satisfied. Top novels are updated the fastest

If the current S6 group stage is held in China...

Even in the group stage.

It must definitely start at the minimum level of a 6,000-person stadium.

It’s not that there is any difference in emphasis, but simply because there are so many League of Legends gamers in China, and the enthusiasm for the annual S-series World Finals is absolutely overwhelming. Just think about the ordinary LPL routine. The number of spectators in a single game can reach one or two thousand, and any cup match can fill a medium-sized stadium. So for an event like the S6 group stage...

Six thousand tickets can be sold out in minutes.

You may not even be able to get tickets yet.

Of course, it’s different here in Europe. Although European players are equally enthusiastic about the S-series events, they are relatively more rational. Maybe they will be more passionate in the finals and semi-finals, but there is still a lot of excitement in the group stage. Not too fanatical.

A stadium with a capacity of one or two thousand people is more than enough.

"But it's actually because professional e-sports has just emerged in China." Zeng Rui, who was walking beside Lin Feng and An Xin, commented: "For things that have just emerged, people will always have more fresh things. Sensitive and passionate.”

Lin Feng nodded in agreement:

"Yeah, but we still have to win enough glory and face in this emerging field -"

"Being suppressed and beaten all the time, no matter how much enthusiasm you have, you will lose it."

indeed.

If we compare it with football, it can be regarded as an example. Although the number of domestic football fans still far exceeds that of e-sports players. They can stay up late to watch various UEFA Champions League and World Cups, but they have long since lost sight of their own national football team. We have lost confidence and hope - we can't even see our own team on the football field, and there is nowhere to send our enthusiasm and cheers.

Thinking about it makes me feel a little embarrassed. Besides the embarrassment, it also makes me feel complicated and heavy.

Fortunately...

E-sports doesn’t stop there.

"But it's also dangerous."

Zeng Rui shook his head: "From S1 to now... the best result I have ever achieved in the national server division is only runner-up, and only twice, I remember? The most recent time... After reaching the finals, everyone knows the basics There’s no hope of winning the championship, it’s such a miserable loss.”

I’m talking about the previous God-Hand of God team.

In the S4 season, it was actually because of good luck in each round of the lottery and the leadership of the extremely strong mid laner Dawn Morning Star at the time that the team made it all the way to the finals, but in the end they met the South Korean SSK team. .

Directly defeated 3-0 by the opponent.

Massacre and abuse.

Those three games were like years of suffering and torture for countless Chinese League of Legends gamers at that time. Many people even closed the webpage halfway through watching the live broadcast and refused to continue. Read on.

Winning the world runner-up could not bring much joy to the Chinese people at that time, because the loss in the final bo5 final was too tragic, and it was impossible for people to have even the slightest hope for the championship trophy - or It is said that it was strangled and crushed before it even had time to arise.

In comparison…

"In a real sense, the best result ever achieved in the national server is S1." As he said that, Zeng Rui glanced at Lin Feng again.

indeed.

Although it is also a world runner-up trophy, the world runner-up that someone led the team to in the S1 season is definitely much higher than the later God team in terms of gold content.

That was also the earliest, and perhaps even the only, time that the entire Chinese server e-sports really saw hope of hitting the world championship trophy.

bo5.

Five full games were played.

It was not like the God team in the S4 season, which was directly crushed and defeated by the opponent 3 to 0, but each of the five games was as fierce as a bayonet. Not even until the last game, not until the last wave of team battles in the last game, not until the last moment...

At that time, it was impossible to determine the outcome.

Perhaps many of the current new national server players have never been exposed to the S1 era. The fact that the national server also won the World Runner-up Trophy in the S1 season has gradually been forgotten by the public.

But for the group of old players who have been exposed to League of Legends since the earliest days, they will never forget even half a minute of the last set of bo5 peak showdowns that year.

certainly.

The heavy regrets of that year are still difficult to resolve for a long time.

Lin Feng touched his nose:

"Oh, not bad."

"But it's just a runner-up anyway. No matter how high the gold content is, it doesn't matter, it's still a runner-up."

A pretty straightforward self-evaluation.

But it also revealed a very realistic truth.

Just as everyone in the world knows that the first person to step onto the surface of the moon was astronaut Armstrong, few people remember who was the second person to step off after Armstrong.

Everyone in the world's e-sports circle will still remember that f-Han Shihao won the world championship trophy in the S1 season, but as for the Chinese team that missed the championship trophy... few people remember it.

But Lin Feng didn’t take it seriously. In other words, any professional e-sports player who truly has ambitions and pursuits should have the same understanding and philosophy——

Apart from the championship, everything else is meaningless.

You can never be satisfied with rankings such as second, third, runner-up, and third.

need……

Always first.

"The national server should really have a champion." Zeng Rui sighed with emotion.

He has already mentioned before that although e-sports in the national server has just emerged, there are also signs of something dangerous and wrong, because for six years, countless players in the national server have had hope, but until now, they have never seen it. The Chinese professional team stands on the highest podium in the world's highest arena.

Enthusiasm will gradually be worn away.

Six years has passed, and we are almost reaching a critical point of time.

"If you can't get it again this year..." Zeng Rui looked at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng had already shook his head:

"It's probably very difficult to get."

An Xin on the side answered: "Then... next year may really be the last year."

The atmosphere is slightly quieter.

The topic seems to have reached a somewhat heavy point.

In the end, Lin Feng shook his head: "Not to mention these spoilers, it's not necessarily this year. There are still a lot of things to look forward to - Ah Xing made a breakthrough, Hayami's shadow puppets and Lao Shi are also in good enough condition, kg Here... Fatty is originally a big-hearted player in competitions, and the more he enters world-class competitions, the more he can explode."

Zeng Rui also nodded with an expression of approval:

"yes."

"The three teams in the national server this year... are in much better shape than in previous years."

"If I really want to say it, I hope it will definitely be greater than in previous years!"

However, even so.

But the conversation atmosphere among the few people still seemed a bit insincere.

something……

In fact, you can vaguely see some results before you start.
