Journey of a Thousand Miles

"Let's go." Wugui said.

"Okay." Qianli replied.

The two arrived late. Although the meeting this time is not as grand as the carnival, it can be seen that the officials have done enough work. There are four giant posters on both sides of the gate of the venue, each of which is a group photo of the eight seeded teams. ——Including the character and the person, the character is on top and the real person is on the bottom. Apart from majesty, there will occasionally be a strong contrast... Even if Xi Shi is in the eyes of the beholder, I have to admit that in terms of general appearance, the movie The competition circle really can't catch up with the entertainment circle.

However, it is much better now than before. Those who have enough experience know that the image of professional players in the early days of the rise of the e-sports industry was terrible. In the early days, all aspects were relatively amateurish, which led to the poor quality of image packaging. Unlike now, professional makeup artists, stylists, photographers, etc. are hired for contestants to shoot photos or promotional videos, and even boys have to make up for it. If you are a fan, it looks like a player who looks more energetic and has a slightly better temperament, the effect is not much worse than that of a star.

As e-sports culture gradually enters the mainstream and is understood and accepted by more and more people, it is no longer just a technical contest, but will inevitably involve more and more complicated factors. This trend has both advantages and disadvantages. But no matter whether the advantages outweigh the disadvantages or the disadvantages outweigh the advantages, no one can stop this trend.

From the middle to both sides, the positions are arranged according to the rankings of the regular season. The Light of God and Miracle are arranged on the left and right of the gate. They look like two door gods, and one is blue and the other is red. It also couldn't stop a bunch of excited fans from taking selfies in front of the poster.

In addition to these coquettish posters, there is an extremely domineering sentence printed on each poster that is particularly eye-catching—that is the slogan of each team.

The slogans of the eight teams have their own strengths and weaknesses, and they will not give in to each other——

Light of God: Light with God, conquer all directions.

Miracle: Who else can create a miracle?

Drunk West Tower: Drunk and crazy with the world, go up to the tall building alone to see all living beings.

Dynasty of God of War: Wherever the soldiers come, it is the land of the king.

Longxiang Pavilion: Longxiang Kyushu, soaring into the sky.

Sweep the world: Sweep the martial arts world and dominate the world.

Celebrities in the last days: iron and blood pave the way, and celebrities in the last days.

The Clan of My Name: In my name, compete among the heroes.

"This group of people are too shameless, one can boast better than the other." Qianli couldn't help but said, "The world is the world at every turn, isn't our slogan too modest?"

"puff."

After Qianli said this, if you take a closer look, it seems that the clan of my name is indeed very real this time, and it is not at all like the ostentatious style of the past.

No way, it's all caused by rhymes...

The two of them were about to bypass the front door and go to the green passage at the back door, Wu Jiu grabbed Qianli's clothes corner unexpectedly, Qianli was taken aback, then turned around, "What's wrong?"

"I'm following the instructions." Wu Jiu pointed to a sign not far away, which said "Please take care of your children".

"You have to take care of my kids, right?"

"go away."

"I do not go."

"Go away!"

"Don't go."

"I'll see what you do if someone finds out!" Qianli threatened.

Since the biggest difference between this meet and greet compared to the last carnival is that the popularity of the players has changed from small to large, in order to prevent being ambushed by fans on the road, many teams have taken corresponding measures. No exception, at this time Wu Jiu and Qian Li were wearing masks, peaked caps, and ordinary jackets. The team uniforms were carried to the venue by 33 and Mosquito, and they would be changed at that time.In places like City S where the air quality is notoriously poor, although not many people wear masks, they are not uncommon, and generally do not receive special attention.

"If you are discovered, you will be discovered, are you afraid?" Wu Jiu asked back.

Qianli was taken aback, "I'm afraid of shit, who do I need to explain to a loner like me?"

"Oh," Wu Jiu said calmly, "Then I'll announce—"

"Hey, hey," Qianli quickly grabbed his sleeve, "Aren't you afraid of being broken by your parents?"

"No, although I'm sorry for not being able to carry on the family line...but sooner or later I have to confess to them." Wu Jiu said.

"Wait—" Qianli said alertly, "Are we discussing meeting the parents now?"

"Yes."

"What should I say, hello uncles and aunts, I am your son's boyfriend?"

"Good starter."

"Nice yarn!"

Wugui smiled meaningfully.

"why are you laughing?"

"It's nothing."

"What if I want to hit someone?"

"Hold on."

"Can't help it."

"That has to be tolerated."

The two came to the green channel after tugging. After entering the backstage, they followed the instructions and went to the area of ​​their own team. Shura, Chongchong, Mosquito and 33 were all gathered there, waving at them from a distance, even thousands of miles away. Greeting to them, I didn't pay attention for a while, and bumped into someone.

The man turned his head and looked at him coldly.

"What are you looking at, haven't you seen a great god?" Qianli said mercilessly.

"Great God? Where?" Sirius looked around deliberately.

"Hehe, you are a defeated general, are you very arrogant?"

Sirius frowned and narrowed his eyes slightly, "Do you dare to fight again?"

"Heh, wash your butt... No, wash your neck and wait for me. Believe it or not if you beat me up in the playoffs?"

"Don't kneel before you meet us."

"Just keep pushing. What are you doing here? Isn't your territory here? Are you crazy?" Qianli mentioned the important point.

"..." Sirius paused for a while, "I'm going for a walk."

"Wu Jiu," Qianli turned to Wu Jiu and said, "We can just kidnap him now and the playoffs will be stable."

"...Just you?" There was a trace of pity in Sirius' eyes.

"Stop making trouble," Wu Jiu pointed to the front, "The staff asked us to assemble."

On the journey of being dragged away by Wu Jiu, he still didn't forget to turn his head and yell at Sirius, "You wait! I still have a debt to settle with you!"

The main part of the first day of the meeting is that each team will go on stage to accept interviews and indirectly interact with fans. Chests come to the stage one by one, and with the appearance of each player, the host will give a brief introduction to the players—mainly the introduction of the game characters, such as the role's main occupational positioning, attributes, the player's good style, the original Or the skills and routines that have been spread because of this player, the outstanding data and rankings achieved in the competition, etc., the longer this series of introductions, the more great achievements this player has, and the more proud he is.What's more high-end is that during this process, a holographic projection model of a game character twice as tall as a real person will appear behind the stage, and with the introduction of the host, various signature skills and combos will be used, which will arouse the excitement of the audience. The audience screamed and applauded.

These holographic projection models will not disappear. After the performance, they will feel that POSE is placed beside them. When all the members of the team are present, they will stand majesticly behind the stage and look down on all living beings, which is a bit like a guardian spirit.

There are eight members of God's Light on stage, and the official limit is ten people per team. Although God's Light has a double-digit rotation, in theory, the more people on stage, the better. On this rare official stage, as many as possible Many members are familiar with the audience, increasing popularity.However, Ni Lin adhered to the principle of emphasizing quality over quantity, and only arranged eight people, six of whom were naturally permanent members of God's Light, and the remaining two were Yuebai and Banxia who only played in the last week. After losing to the Clan of My Name, Ni Lin still recognized their performance.The competition within God's Light is brutally fierce, but it is unavoidable. Ni Lin did this to show the entire God's Light that "playing well" is far from enough, and that "excellence" is necessary. "Excellent", standing in front of the public on behalf of the Light of God is all one-in-a-million god-level players. If you don't have the determination and confidence to reach that level, you should pack up and leave early.

Therefore, every contestant standing on that stage exudes the light of a winner in life...

Shenzhiguang's speech is also very No.1 style. When asked about the summary of the regular season and the outlook for the future, Ni Lin said: "9 months ago, I said that I hope that one day we will Being able to accept all the auras deservedly, I dare not say that we are worthy of the name now, but we have taken a good step, and next, we have only one goal."

He stopped at this critical moment, the audience was silent, the audience looked at him, the host looked at him, only the other seven contestants looked ahead calmly, waiting for their captain to say the four words. Character.

Those ordinary, but earth-shattering four words.

"world champion."

The same words, uttered by different people, create different weights.

Because, the important thing is not whether you can say it or not, but whether you can do it or not.

At that moment, not only the audience, but even the host and the reporters in the audience felt the heart of an older young man was burned. Even if they were not their fans, they couldn't help but picture them on the world stage in their minds. , and finally set foot on the highest peak to win the laurels.

It is not the small stage of the regular season, nor the slightly larger stage of the national competition, but the most expansive and widest stage.

Whether you like it or not, believe it or not, you cannot deny that this team is most qualified to make such bold statements.
