Indeed, as An Xin said, after all, the finals will be held in Europe rather than in China. At least from the specifications of the venues at this stage of the group stage, it is definitely not completely satisfactory.
If the current S6 group stage is held in China...
Even in the group stage.
It must have started at the weight level of a gymnasium with a minimum of 6,000 people.
It's not that there is any difference in the level of emphasis, but simply because there are too many League of Legends gamers in China, and the enthusiasm for the annual S-Series World Finals is absolutely overwhelming. Think about the ordinary LPL routine. The number of spectators in a single game can reach one or two thousand, and any cup game can fill a medium-sized gymnasium, so the S6 group stage is this level of competition...
6,000 tickets can be sold out in minutes.
You might not even be able to get tickets.
Of course, it's different here in Europe. Although European players are equally enthusiastic about the S series, they are a little more rational. Maybe there will be a bigger explosion in the semi-finals of the finals. Not too frenetic.
A field of one or two thousand people is more than enough.
"But it's actually because professional e-sports is just emerging in China." Zeng Rui, who was walking beside Lin Feng and An Xin, commented: "For things that are just emerging, there will always be more freshness. Sensitive and enthusiastic.”
Lin Feng nodded in agreement:
"Well, but I still have to win enough honor in this emerging field to earn face-"
"I've been beaten all the time, no matter how much enthusiasm I have to die."
indeed.
If you take football as a comparison, it can be regarded as an example. Although the number of football fans in China is still far more than the number of e-sports players, all kinds of Champions League World Cups can stay up late to watch it, but for their own national football team, they have long since lost their interest. With confidence and hope - you can't even see your own team on the football field, and there is nowhere to send enthusiasm and cheers.
Thinking about it is a little embarrassing, and the embarrassment is more complicated and heavy.
Good thing…
Esports doesn't stop there.
"But it's also dangerous."
Zeng Rui shook his head: "Since S1 was held until now... the best result in the national service division was only the runner-up, and only twice, I remember? The most recent one... After reaching the finals, I knew there was no hope at all. The championship was won, and the loss was too bad."
Speaking of the previous God-Hand of God team.
In the S4 season, it was also because the luck of each round of the lottery and grouping was good, coupled with the leadership of the incomparably strong mid-laner Dawn Morning Star at that time, the team made it all the way to the finals, but finally met the South Korean team SSK. .
Directly by the opponent 3 to 0.
Slaughter grass.
Those three games were a torment and torment for the countless League of Legends game players in the national server at that time, and many people even turned off the web page directly when they watched the live broadcast for half the time and did not want to do any more Read on.
Winning the world runner-up, there was no way to make the Chinese people at that time have much joy, because the final BO5 final was so tragically lost, and it was impossible for people to give birth to even the slightest hope for the championship trophy. Before it could arise, it was directly killed and crushed.
By comparison…
"In the true sense, the best result that the national service has ever achieved is S1." After speaking, Zeng Rui glanced at Lin Feng again.
indeed.
Although it is also the world runner-up trophy, the world runner-up that someone led the team to win in the S1 season is definitely much higher than the God team later in terms of gold content.
That was also the earliest, and perhaps even the only, time when a whole national server e-sports really saw the hope of hitting the world championship trophy.
BO5.
Played the full five games.
It's not like the God team in the S4 season was directly crushed and defeated by the opponent three-to-zero, but each of the five games was killed to the most intense level like a red bayonet.
Not even until the last game, the last wave of teamfights in the last game, before the last moment...
The outcome at the time was almost impossible to tell.
Perhaps many players of the new national server have never been in contact with the S1 era of that year, and 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 in contact with League of Legends since the earliest years, they will never forget even half a point of the last group of BO5 peak duels that year.
certainly.
The heavy regrets of the year have been difficult to dispel for a long time.
Lin Feng touched his nose:
"Oh, it's alright."
"But anyway, it's just a runner-up, no matter how high the gold content is, it's still a runner-up."
A fairly straightforward self-assessment.
But it also revealed a rather realistic truth.
Just as everyone knows that the first person to step on the surface of the moon was astronaut Armstrong, but few people remember who was the second person to walk down 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 care. In other words, any professional e-sports player who really has aspirations and pursuits should have the same cognition and philosophy—
Except for the championship, everything else is meaningless.
You can never be satisfied with rankings like 2nd, 3rd, 2nd and 3rd.
need…
Always be first.
"The national uniform should have a champion." Zeng Rui sighed.
He has already mentioned that although the national server e-sports is just emerging, it also has some signs of danger, because for six years, countless national server players have hoped for six years, but they have never seen it until now. The national service professional team stood on the highest podium in the world's highest arena.
Enthusiasm wears off gradually.
Six years, it is almost reaching a critical point in time.
"If I can't get it again this year..." Zeng Rui looked at Lin Feng.
And Lin Feng has already directly shook his head:
"It is estimated that it is difficult to obtain."
An Xin on the side answered: "Then... next year may really be the last year."
A little quiet.
The topic seems to have come to a somewhat heavy point.
In the end, Lin Feng shook his head: "Hey, let's not talk about these spoilers, this year is not necessarily the case, there are still a lot of things to look forward to - Ah Xing makes a breakthrough, and the shadow puppet and Lao Shi of Shushui are in good enough condition. KG is here. Side... Fatty is a big-hearted contestant, and the more he goes to world-class events, the more explosive he becomes."
Zeng Rui also nodded his head showing approval:
"Yes."
"This year's three national service teams... The state is really much better than in previous years."
"If I really want to say it, my hope is definitely bigger than in previous years!"
However, despite saying so.
But the topic atmosphere between several people still seems a bit insincere.
something…
In fact, before the start, you can already see some results vaguely.
