This foreign aid is ridiculously strong

On October 17, the group stage officially started.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the KT team took the bus from the hotel to Madison Square Garden.

Madison Garden Square is the home court of the NBA team the New York Knicks. Although the Knicks are not even a strong team, they are a New York team after all.

Located in the heart of Manhattan, the most prosperous city in the world, New York, Madison Garden Square, the home of the Knicks, is naturally a basketball mecca.

After getting off the bus and looking up at the huge venue in front of him, Lin Cheng rubbed his hands and became excited.

The once high-spirited silver-haired Peanut Butter was heartbroken and weeping here. Lin Cheng silently prayed that he would not meet GEN·G too early this year, otherwise he would break Little Peanut's heart again.

Without lingering much, the whole team entered through the passage on the side of the venue.

The venue for this year's group stage is not the main venue at Madison Square Garden, but the Hulu Theater located above the main venue.

Everyone went to the lounge to prepare first, as it was still early for the game to start.

Lin Cheng took out his cell phone and sent a message to Wanwan: Get up quickly, little lazy pig! It's time to get ready for work.

Tonight, Lin Cheng had to commentate on the group stage, and as agreed, Lin Cheng called the girl to get up.

At this time, it was only about four o'clock in the morning Beijing time.

The girl didn't reply for a long time. Lin Cheng was just thinking about calling when he received a new message.

Wanwan: Get up! (cute)

Lin Cheng: What were you doing just now? still sleeping?

Wanwan: No! I was changing clothes just now.

Lin Cheng: Show it to me for reference.

After a while, the girl sent a photo.

In the photo, Wanwan used her mobile phone to take a picture of her lower body. She wore a long white dress that was elegant and slim. The girl put on dark silver high heels at home, raised her calf slightly, and exposed a crystal ankle under the skirt. She was fair and delicate.

Lin Cheng: Why don’t you wear socks when you’re wearing shoes? Put your socks on! I will feel bad.

Wanwan: What color socks are you wearing?

Lin Cheng: Wear long white stockings.

Wanwan: Oh (smile)

As if the girl didn't know Lin Cheng's little thoughts, she put on her white stockings obediently and took another photo for Lin Cheng.

The delicate ankles were wrapped in pure white silk, and the dark silver high heels made Lin Cheng greedy.

Lin Cheng asked mischievously: Are they long lace stockings? The sexy lace kind?

Wanwan: Yes (nodding vigorously)

Before Lin Cheng could reply again, the girl immediately sent another one.

Wanwan: Do you want to check? I'll re-shoot it for you.

Lin Cheng raised the corners of his mouth slightly.

This girl is so well-behaved that it makes people feel bad.

Although he was a little greedy, he gave up the idea.

Lin Cheng: Forget it! You are still in a hurry to get to work, so you can slowly send it to me for review after you get off work.

Wanwan: (Rabbit nods)

Lin Cheng: Be obedient and go have breakfast first. There’s no traffic jam at this point anyway, so don’t be in a hurry.

Wanwan: Got it! You cheer for the game, and I will try my best to cheer you on from the commentary booth.

As the time came to 4 pm New York time, there was already a long queue at the ticket counter outside the venue.

Many of the people who came to the scene were Chinese students. Some of them supported EDG, and some supported Lin Cheng's KT. There was a vaguely competitive attitude.

However, most of the audience apparently did not read the theater rules in advance.

Hearing that food was not allowed inside, a couple silently went to the side to eat the prepared rice balls.

Then they discovered that a few buddies were already squatting in the corner, showing off huge buckets of fried chicken.

When they looked at each other, they were all wearing Lin Cheng's team uniforms.

It turned out to be one of our own!

"Would you like some fried chicken?"

"Is that okay? Thank you!"

"Eat your fill first. The stuff inside is super cheating. A glass of water costs $7."

Just as he was talking, two more ladies came over to eat sushi, holding scarves with the KT team logo on them, and were invited to share the fried chicken.

"Is it really okay? We are Korean students studying abroad!"

"It doesn't matter! As long as you like Cheng! We are our own people."

"There is no KT fan who dislikes Cheng!"

While eating and chatting, I turned around and saw a fan waving an EDG poster who had been stabbed out.

Several people gloated over the misfortune.

Because posters are not allowed on site, you can only draw your own support posters in the designated area after entering, so those audience members who have prepared posters in advance are not allowed to enter.

After reading the EDG fans’ jokes, everyone continued to chat while eating.

Scenes like this are constantly happening outside the venue. People who don't know each other get to know each other because they like the same player in a foreign country.

Share food and preferences, talk about the journey of falling in love with Lin Cheng, and let’s think about how to express EDG in the future.

Of course, EDG fans are also grouping together.

Originally, the school mothers prepared a large number of hand-painted posters for free distribution, hoping to show their feelings to the younger students, but the plan was aborted.

We can only think about it in the long term.

Due to the time difference, it will be around five o'clock in the morning on the 18th, Beijing time. Many viewers who have set their alarm clocks have already gotten up and started chatting about the game on Tieba Hupu.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The Chinese streaming broadcast finally released the promotional video for the first day of the group stage.

The scene cuts to the Brooklyn Bridge with the flag at half-mast.

The filter effect makes the whole picture look a bit gloomy and solemn.

"This is the first time since 2016 that the global finals will return to the North American continent."

“New York is a city that holds many memories for me.”

A pair of slender arms are supported on the guardrail. In front of the camera is the blurry profile of Little Peanut, and at the far end is the clear half-lowered Stars and Stripes above the Brooklyn Bridge.

"That was my first World Championship."

"Leaved many unforgettable moments."

The camera switched to a scene of Little Peanut looking helpless, lowering his head and covering his face after the S6 semi-finals.

At that time, the little peanut was delicate and childish.

Facing failure, I feel confused and a little overwhelmed.

The voice of the English narration tells of his unwillingness: This pain is written on his face, one step away, but there is nothing he can do.

The camera turns again.

The figure standing in front of the Brooklyn Bridge has now changed into a GEN·G uniform.

The ID behind him has not changed, but the boy who returned is no longer as high-spirited as before, even though he has reached the top.

"Although it has been a long time, this time will be different."

With determined eyes, a thin body, and Nutella leaning on the guardrail, he slowly turned around.

"Pity! That year ROX surpassed SKT and was basically the champion》

"ROX is really upset, but fortunately Brother Orange led Kuro and Peanut Butter to win the championship"

"That was your last powerful moment, my Watson"

"Laughed! Peanut butter wasn’t the winner last year? 》

"Last year, Peanut was not as aggressive as S6, but his brains were better. He and Cheng are definitely the strongest jungle combination."

"Even a pig can become a wild pig for Brother Cheng (funny)"

"Journey to the West: Thief: Who are you scolding?" 》

"It doesn't matter, why is the fist filter so hellish?" 》

"Welcome to Litang (Goutou)"

"New York City? Gotham City! 》

"So who is the Joker?" Let’s wait and see! 》
