Chapter 1422: Departure Ceremony
On September 16, LCK is preparing to hold an offline departure ceremony for S11.
Lin Cheng went to the base to meet his teammates that afternoon.
When he saw Mr. Dai in the training room, Lin Cheng couldn't help but joke.
"Yohoo! Kim Hyuk-kyu, where is your love bracelet? Take it out and show it to me."
Yesterday, Mr. Dai participated in the live broadcast of the female anchor Lilka on the spot, and received a bracelet made by the female anchor as a gift, so Lin Cheng joked like this.
The anchor who can link up with the players for offline live broadcast is certainly not a small anchor. Although Lilka is live on the African station, she has more than one million subscribers on Youtube, which is definitely a rare big anchor in the Korean e-sports circle.
And Lika is not just riding on the popularity and linking up with Mr. Dai. This is a real fan of Mr. Dai and a fan of the DRX team. Last year, when Mr. Dai was in DRX, she had been cheering for Mr. Dai.
This year, DRX did not enter the world game under the leadership of Brother Mai. As a DRX fan, Lilka decided to temporarily support KT in the world game.
After all, Chovy and Deft both played for DRX last year, so Miss Lilka's taking advantage of the popularity can be regarded as not forgetting her original intention.
Yesterday, Evert tagged all members in the group, asking everyone to watch Deft's live broadcast together, and Lin Cheng also gave face to watch the awkward chat between Mr. Dai and the female anchor.
Lilka successfully attracted a large number of passers-by with her appearance and her wolf-warrior-like performance when cheering for DRX. Even some of her very manic actions can be full of cuteness, but Lin Cheng thinks she is just average.
Not as good as Miss Jisoo.
If you don't even show your legs, what kind of anchor is it?
Faced with Lin Cheng's joke, Mr. Dai was a little embarrassed, "Don't talk nonsense, it's just a gift prepared for the live broadcast event, not a love bracelet."
Lin Cheng smiled, "What's the matter? Are you afraid that your actor friends will know?"
Mr. Dai gave a death stare.
"I've said it many times, we're just junior high school classmates."
"Okay, okay! Classmates are classmates."
Lin Cheng sighed, "Why aren't there any of my classmates who are ambitious? If there's an international superstar, I'd like to get some autographs to make my wife happy."
The teammates looked at Lin Cheng with disdain.
What do you think of your classmates?
And do you really not know?
Your own popularity is not low among young people nowadays, right?
After joking with the teammates for a while, all the members got on the team bus and headed to the World Cup Park, where the departure ceremony would be held.
When we arrived at the park, the organizers had already set up the scene. The LCK logo and the cheering flags of the four teams were all along the way, which was very spectacular.
The LCK departure ceremony was held here during S8, but that year the LCK was completely wiped out.
Lin Cheng didn't know what the LCK organizers were thinking, and they dared to hold the departure ceremony here.
You don't believe in evil, right?
The players of the four teams set out from the entrance of the park and slowly headed to the stage in the center of the park. There were many fans around wearing their respective team uniforms to cheer for the main team.
This session was supposed to be about running. LOL RUN is not the first time LCK has advocated it, but everyone was wearing masks and it was obvious that anyone who ran was a fool.
The players of each team greeted each other from a distance.
Interestingly, as Lin Cheng and Faker waved to each other, the two KT fans and T1 fans who seemed to be swearing at each other suddenly became friendly.
The two sides who had been sending diss messages to each other on the electronic support board suddenly greeted each other from a distance, and then they changed the words on the board that originally attacked each other to "During the World Championship, we will be united against the outside world."
The people around were stunned.
I don't understand whether they are just making fun of it or they really want to be good brothers and be united against the outside world.
After nearly 20 minutes of walking, the players arrived at the center stage and the departure ceremony officially began.
The ceremony was very simple. The host introduced the promotion process of the four LCK teams this year, and then all the players watched the departure documentary on the big screen together.
The LCK and the official live broadcast rooms of each team broadcasted the departure ceremony in real time, and as the Chinese stream base camp, KT's official live broadcast room naturally had many fence-sitting handsome guys.
"This documentary is well made! The highlights are very exciting."
"Bad review! Brother Cheng only has so many shots?"
"Understand, it will take until dark to put up all the highlights of Brother Cheng this season."
"There are so many people in the audience, the LPL departure ceremony is too deserted without the audience."
"The LPL departure ceremony is full of advertisements, and the audience ran away."
"These teams are not good! I have watched the departure ceremonies of all regions, and no team has more promotional shots than WE so far (funny)"
"WE who live in the opening, right? Get out of here, little black guy."
The popularity of the legendary team WE is so high recently that even KT's official live broadcast room has been filled with all kinds of WE jokes.
At this year's LPL departure ceremony, since the departure documentary will include the key battles of the LPL teams to get tickets to the S game, WE, who personally gave out four tickets, became the most camera-savvy presence in the departure documentary.
In terms of duration alone, WE and the four LPL teams are almost the same, but unfortunately none of the tickets belong to them.
After watching the documentary on site, the coaches and players of the four teams cheered each other up, and the fans of each team on site also cheered for the players.
Then came the interview session.
The players of KT, DK and T1 left the stage first, leaving the GEN·G players on the stage for interviews.
As the fourth seed, the GEN·G players were quite modest in their speeches, and they all said that reaching the semi-finals would be a success.
The host even asked the players what skin they would like to choose if they won the championship.
The comments couldn't hold back.
"Taking the lead in milking, the LCK officials are afraid that this year will not explode, right?"
"Cold knowledge: The venue of this expedition ceremony happens to be the venue of S8, history repeats itself?"
"Brother Orange hasn't chosen a skin this year, and you guys are doing it first?"
"Back then, Wei Shen also discussed skins in the live broadcast room like this, and then his performance on the field exploded."
"Gao Dewei: You are playing with fire!"
In addition to discussing skins, the GEN·G players' interviews did not cause any rhythm.
But it was different when the T1 players came on stage.
While most people were very modest, Xiao Lu Bu stood up and output against the wind.
"Our goal this time is to secure the second place. If KT makes a mistake and is eliminated, we will be the champion."
"Although we haven't beaten KT once this year, we are not powerless to fight back after training."
"LPL? To be honest, I don't think there are any opponents that need to be paid too much attention to. Our biggest enemy is ourselves."
"I am confident that we will evolve in the world championship."
"Then we will let the whole world see T1's strength!"
"I hope to be in the same group with FPX. I heard that the champion AD is very strong?"
The barrage exploded.
"Damn! You are worthy of it!"
"In terms of confidence, no one can compare with Xiao Lu Bu except Brother Orange"
"Don't evolve anymore! If you evolve again, the earth will not be able to accommodate you"
"Xiao Lu Bu's ultimate evolution, Baimenlou Lu Bu's ultimate version"
"Brother Orange, rush up and punch this guy, I can't stand it anymore"
"Brother Xiangzi: What champion are you?"
