Chapter 720: Surprise! Boos From the Audience
Each live stream was complaining about the opening program, but the performances that followed were actually quite thoughtful.
The organizers incorporated all the theme songs of the previous S-Leagues into a performance. "Rise" and "Legends Never Die" were the theme songs of the year when IG won the championship and the songs of the S7 Bird's Nest finals, which resonated with countless Chinese players.
Along with the music, the big screen at the scene slowly played classic moments of various world championships.
There were shots of players roaring excitedly, players crying sadly, and the audience cheering.
FNC, TPA, SKT, SSW, SKT, SKT, SSG, IG, FPX, the logos of previous world champions were arranged in order above the big screen.
Of course, the program arrangement was quite thoughtful, but the performance was a bit awkward.
The organizers had to use the human sea tactics and find some people to perform martial arts and recite poems on the spot, which caused another crazy complaint from the barrage.
Except for Liu Boxin, there was no live singer performing in the whole venue. They just played CDs, which was really a bit embarrassing.
Even in the second half of the show, when two big men came out carrying a box containing the Summoner's Trophy, they were madly complained by the barrage as "coffin bearers".
While dancing wildly on the stage, the players from both sides also set out from the backstage.
Lin Cheng was the first to walk out of the entrance channel, and the audience cheered across the guardrail.
Although there were only 6,000 spectators at the scene, it was already a big scene for Lin Cheng. Even in the non-epidemic period, there were only a few e-sports competitions that could have more than 6,000 live spectators.
At a glance, the whole venue was intertwined with lights and shadows. In a trance, Lin Cheng seemed to hear someone shouting his name.
But the live performance continued, and the background music and noisy voices mixed together and it was hard to hear clearly.
Lin Cheng kept walking.
It was the first time for him to fight in front of so many people. He was not nervous at all, but faintly excited.
Just in time, the live performance was coming to an end.
Under the gaze of a group of ghost soldiers, the box in the center of the stage slowly opened, revealing the Summoner's Trophy inside.
The trophy was silver, with the image of the Canyon Summoner engraved on the cup body, shining brightly under the light.
Lin Cheng stepped onto the stage.
In the broadcast screen, the audience did not see the shots of the players from both sides appearing, and the director had already cut the screen to the bird's-eye view of the entire Pudong Football Stadium.
Countless light beams of special effects fell from the sky, lighting up the Summoner pattern on the top of the Pudong Football Stadium.
Then, the screen cut to the night view of the entire Shanghai.
Similarly, countless light beams fell from the sky, lighting up a number of landmark buildings such as the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, Jinmao Tower, Shanghai Tower, etc., as if bringing the entire Shanghai into the atmosphere of the World Championship.
At this time, the camera cut back to the interior of the stadium again.
A burly figure suddenly fell from the sky, stirring up a cloud of dust.
The huge figure of Galio, the Colossus of Justice, kneeled on the stage. As Galio stood up, his wings slowly opened, revealing the players on both sides who had already entered the stage.
The players of the two teams appeared in the audience's field of vision in this way.
This scene fits the name of Galio's ultimate skill, the hero's appearance.
However, although this appearance is very creative, Galio's special effects are a bit plastic, which has attracted a lot of complaints.
"This Galio's knee is out of the model, it's so funny."
"Why are we playing this at home? To whip RNG, right?"
"Ask the gods, right? Who is Galio helping?"
"Such a lame special effect, it's useless to ask the gods."
"Ask the gods of SKT in front of KT? Don't you take me, Cheng, seriously?"
"Seeing this Galio, Cheng will definitely beat DWG to pieces today?"
"This is a hint that Kuro will use Galio in the finals, he likes this hero very much."
"Is the mixed-point monster messing with you? Don't forget that Kuro's last name is Li."
·····
As the AR virtual Galio flapped its wings and flew away in the broadcast, the lights on the scene were completely lit up, and the members of the two teams became the protagonists on the stage.
The voice of the host Yu Shuang rang out on the scene.
"Hello Shanghai! Hello everyone at the scene and the audience watching around the world! Welcome to the finals of the 2020 League of Legends World Finals."
After a brief speech, Yu Shuang began to introduce the members of the two teams.
"First, let's welcome the DWG team from the LCK region."
As the voice fell, it was a bit embarrassing that the whole audience did not immediately respond to the host's call to cheer. Only two seconds later did the enthusiastic audience give DWG a burst of sporadic cheers.
When the DWG members were introduced one by one, there was not even a sporadic cheer, and the DWG members looked very embarrassed.
It is a very terrible thing to wave and greet under the watchful eyes of the whole world but not get a response.
Canyon, the youngest, looked like he was about to cry when he waved to the camera, and Showmaker also gritted his teeth and waved his hands hard, making a very enthusiastic look.
This scene made the audience watching the live broadcast explode.
You know, in the S8 finals, the Korean audience at the scene gave IG a very warm cheer, and even the Chinese members of IG received cheers no less than Rookie and Theshy.
This contrast is too strong.
And there were no LPL teams on stage today, so the audience wouldn't be so disrespectful, right?
Are all these people cheering for KT?
Hmm~~~ It makes sense, after all, KT has a Chinese player.
Another reason cannot be ignored. There were only 6,000 people on the scene this year and the venue was large. If they didn't cheer in unison, it would be hard to hear clearly in the camera.
And the host also had a certain relationship. When the roaring emperor hosted S8, he was so good at warming up the audience that he brought up the enthusiasm of the audience, but Yu Shuang was obviously not good at agitating the atmosphere.
Of course, there were actually applause for the DWG players, although it was rare.
Next, when introducing KT, an unexpected scene appeared.
"Top lane, Cheng!"
Lin Cheng's ID was read out by Yu Shuang, and cheers rang out on the scene.
Compared with the treatment of DWG players, Lin Cheng received much louder cheers.
However, along with the cheers, there were faint boos.
Football fans may know that boos are sharper and clearer when mixed with cheers. Even the cheers of dozens of people may not be able to completely drown out the boos of one person.
"Fuck! Shame on the whole world!"
"Damn! Are the Wolf Warriors going to the scene?"
"I thought Shanghai was Brother Orange's home court, but he was stabbed in the back at home."
"Damn! Fans who can't scold Brother Orange at ordinary times go to the scene to cause trouble, right?"
"Let's guess which club these fans are from? The three who were defeated by KT?"
"Don't be funny! Those who can go to the scene are all European emperors, and those who are eliminated are all unlucky."
