BXBX NOVEL Chapter 379
Chapter 379: Chapter 378-spreading the news
They had never seen this segment before in other e-sports competitions, but the thought of seeing their idol player made the audience cheer immediately.
The scene changed, and a tall and beautiful girl was already preparing to interview the MVP of the game, little black.
“Alright, welcome to the post-match interview. I’m the host, Nana. We’ve also invited the jungler of team NRG, Black, for this post-match interview. Come and say hello to everyone.”
The emcee, Nana, passed the microphone to Black.
Black looked a little shy as he spoke into the microphone,””Hello everyone, I’m the jungler of the NRG, Black, Jiang Hao.”
The audience burst into cheers again, and the shouts of “Black God” and “dollar” were endless.
“First question,” Nana said.”For a level one team to attack after invading the blue BUFF, was it a strategy that was planned from the start, or was it an impromptu one?”
Black Thought about it for a moment.”Well, actually, the invasion to steal the blue was a well-planned strategy. However, I didn’t expect that the opponent’s blade girl would be so close to the front line. I caught him in the middle of the lane and killed him.”
“So you ‘grabbed it’ by the way ‘, huh ...” Nana was a little speechless.”Okay, the second question. Comment on your opponent and your own performance.”
Black paused for a moment before he said,”er ... The opponent is also playing quite well. He is also very strong.” After that, I think our team’s cooperation is better. ”
“Alright, then the third question. There are a lot of fans who support you here today. Do you have anything to say to them?” Nana asked.
......
Black looked at the camera and said,”yes, thank you very much for your support.” And this time, my parents are also present, and I really want to perform well in front of them. ”
Nana nodded her head.”That’s right. This time, our organizers have also invited the family members of all the professional players to the venue. Have you found the location of Black’s parents?”
The scene on the big screen changed to the audience seats. Jiang Hao’s parents were sitting in the audience. Jiang Hao’s mother’s eyes were filled with tears as she kept giving the big screen a thumbs up.
Nana: “okay. Thank you very much for accepting our interview, contestant Black. Now, everyone can take a short break and look forward to the next game!”
……
This time, Chen Mo specifically asked the organizers to invite all the parents of the Chinese players to the competition. For those parents who came from other places, they would even provide plane tickets and food.
This wasn’t just to encourage these players to work harder in the competition, it was also to establish an impression for the audience around the country and the parents of all the professional players: Esports wasn’t about internet addiction.
Even though this world’s philosophy was more open compared to his previous life, the development of the e-sports industry was lagging behind. Many traditional families did not accept the concept of “e-sports.”
Among the current professional players, many of them had fierce quarrels with their families before they started playing professionally. There were even some players who kicked open doors and ran away from home to play.
If Chen Mo wanted to build a complete e-sports ecosystem, the first step was to change people’s misunderstanding of e-sports, and the best way to do so was through the world Championships.
A huge investment, a huge prize pool, a Grand venue, a cool opening ceremony, and teams from all over the world.
All of this made these traditional parents realize that e-sports was a new thing and had a very good future.
The process of parents going from disapproving to approving would also affect more people, including the audience watching the live broadcast. This was equivalent to a role model, allowing more and more people to realize that e-sports was also a form of sports.
……
The competition was basically set according to the S International League in Chen Mo’s previous life. The sixteen teams would compete for a month to decide the champion.
The first round of the group competition would be held from October 5th to 8th, the second round would be held from the 12th to the 15th, the top eight would be held from the 19th to the 22nd, the semi-finals would be held on the 28th and 29th, and the final round would be held on November 5th.
The matches were basically arranged on weekends in the afternoon so that it was convenient for the audience to watch the matches and also for the audience from other countries and regions to watch the live broadcast.
The popularity of the event was already very high after the first victory of the NRG. Meanwhile, the popularity of the major live-streaming websites was also rising.
The number of people watching the S1 World Finals of League of Legends on fish-catching live streaming platform had reached more than 2.3 million. All kinds of bullet comments were flooding the screen, all of which were “congratulations, NRG, you’re awesome.”
After winning the first match in the NRG, the official forums, various forums, Tieba, and Weibo of League of Legends were all discussing the finals. The clean victory had excited the players, and more players began to watch the live broadcast of the game.
The reaction of the players could be described as “running around to tell each other.”
“Have you watched the League of Legends finals? The NRG has already won one round!”
“I didn ‘t. Who’s the opponent?”
“I don’t remember their name. It’s a European team!”
“A European team? The teams from the other countries are here as well?”
“They’re all here. There are teams from Europe, America, and Korea. There are also four Chinese teams!”
“Where? where? I want to see the foreign team getting beaten up!”
Obviously, this kind of foreign battle was always the battle that could stimulate the sense of honor the most. A team that played well in foreign battles could easily gain fans and resonate with the players.
The first game of the NRG had attracted more and more domestic players to the game. Some players who didn’t watch the game or pay attention to the domestic teams began to understand these teams and star players.
……
In the audience, Chen Mo was scrolling through his phone.
The tournament organizers were counting the number of people watching the Grand Finals from various channels in real-time. So far, the number had reached 6.5 million!
Most of the audience were from China, and there were also some from overseas, but the number was only a small part. After all, the competition was not that important to the overseas players, and there was a time difference between watching and watching.
The main channels for players to watch the game were the major livestreaming platforms, and many people also watched it on the client or the official website.
This number had already made the organizer, Yan Huang technology, very excited. This was a solid 6.5 million people, enough to crush any big live streamer on any live streaming platform, and even more so than any previous e-sports competition!
Just the opening match of the group stage had already attracted so much attention, how much more attention would it be in the finals?
