Meixia had a very comfortable three-day vacation. Before going to bed at night, she closed her eyes and thought, if she didn't have regrets about League of Legends, maybe she would have spent her time playing live broadcasts, playing games on her mobile phone, and playing with her sister. The main theme of her life after being reincarnated as Sakura Girl.
What a useless house girl with no desires or desires.
And analyzing herself more deeply, the reason why she is so passionate about changing lpl's future without hesitation may not be because the original lpl hurt her heart, but because she is a time-traveler who pursues excitement and simply wants to find a more interesting one for herself. goal of struggle.
However, playing games in edg does make her more happy and fulfilling than simply live streaming games. After all, there is endless fun in fighting with others, and leading teammates like edg who would otherwise retire in frustration gives her a great sense of accomplishment. .
So after the vacation, she didn't miss these lazy days at all, but focused more on re-investing in ranking and training.
The next seven days of preparation time passed.
On May 4th, the MSI Mid-Season Invitational, the second largest international event in the League of Legends world, officially opened.
The game is held in Shanghai, so the team does not need to stay in a hotel, but continues to stay in a club with complete facilities.
At noon, Meixia finished breakfast in the cafeteria, then put on her team uniform jacket, held her mouse and keyboard in her hands, and followed her teammates out of the club door.
Taking a special car provided by the organizer of the msi event, everyone arrived at the venue where the competition was held.
"Wow, Keysne (so beautiful)! But this doesn't seem to be the venue where we usually play games!" After getting off the bus, Mixia looked at the white crown stadium built along the river in front of her and immediately exclaimed.
In her previous life, the only two venues she had the deepest memories of League of Legends competitions were Incheon and the Bird's Nest. She really didn't know which venues the MSI had been held in.
She judged based on common sense before the game, thinking that the Magic City Performing Arts Center, which previously hosted the LPL regular season, and the Qizhong Tennis Center, which hosted the spring finals, are not small in size, especially the latter, which can accommodate 10,000 people. With multiple people and experience in hosting e-sports competitions, it makes sense to continue using the MSI Mid-Season Finals and save money.
But the organizer of MSI, or the organizer of League of Legends in China, is obviously more wealthy than she thought.
The three white buildings neatly arranged in front of you from left to right are more luxurious than the first two in terms of scale and construction location.
Meiko quickly searched for the venue information and pretended to be a popular science in front of Sakura Girl, "The gym in front is called the Magic City Oriental Sports Center. It is divided into three parts: a gymnasium, a swimming pool and an outdoor diving pool. The place where we compete should be the same as the fish bone on the westernmost side. It is said that the stadium can accommodate up to 20,000 spectators."
The factory director proudly said, "How can we continue to use the previous venue for an international competition like MSI? Of course we have to choose a newer and bigger venue than our LPL! Let me tell you, this venue only has 20,000 people. When I’m young, when can I go to the Bird’s Nest to play games? That will be the real glorious moment of e-sports!”
"Mika, have you ever heard of the Bird's Nest Stadium? A bird of flying birds, a nest of nests!"
Meixia's tone was a little low at first, "I know the Bird's Nest Stadium. I saw it on TV during the 2008 Olympics."
Then she raised her head again and clenched her fists tightly, "Senior Factory Director, we will definitely be able to play there and win the championship!"
Of course she knew what the Bird's Nest looked like, and she also knew that in the near future, to be precise in October a year later, the World Finals would be held there.
Not only that, she knew even better that EDG from another world would fail there in the top 16, and be defeated by SKT in the classic scene of an economic comeback after being 10,000 behind. The meeting of the two Korean teams in the Bird's Nest, the imperial capital, also became a big source of frustration for her in another world!
While a few people were talking, some of the spectators outside the stadium who were preparing to enter the venue had already noticed the arrival of the team players.
EDG already has a very high reputation, and they are fighting locally. Dozens of LPL fans came to watch at once.
"It's the edg team, mika-chan is in it!"
"Oh my god! Mika is cuter than in the live broadcast! awsl!"
"Mika wore an MSI with gold dragon embroidery and it fit perfectly. It's cute but also a bit cool!"
"Edg, come on!"
…
Focusing on the team's appearance and responsibility, the audience discussed and cheered in front of the players, while their mobile phones and cameras kept clicking.
The factory director and others were all veterans of the competition and walked in front silently. Mixia responded with a sympathetic wave and said, "We will work hard! The champion is EDG!"
At about the same time, teams from other divisions arrived outside the stadium one after another.
However, the "welcome ceremony" varies greatly between each team.
LCK's SKT team, as two-time champions, received equally high treatment in Shanghai. Fans and Korean students rushed up to them the moment they got off the bus.
Even though the FW team in the LCS division had quite a problematic speech before the game, due to limited information dissemination, most LPL viewers did not understand the opponent's situation. Moreover, most of the 16-year-old Chinese youth are still very enthusiastic towards their compatriots, so Many people also went over to express their welcome.
Let’s not talk about the unknown wild card division for now.
The remaining North American clg and European g2 in the five major regions seem to be very neglected in comparison.
In the S6 season, they neither have a long-established and powerful player like Faker, nor a popular and good-looking player like Mika. They are each a dark horse team that defeated the Galaxy Battleship in this division and won the MSI ticket.
The five members of g2 are all newcomers, and they are all players with a very open mind, so they have a nonchalant attitude.
The clg team was not very convinced. After learning that in the opening game of MSI, the lpl picked the weak persimmon for the edg team, they were all holding their breath, and now they have taken another revenge.
Mid laner Huhi looked at the vague silhouettes of players wearing dragon uniforms in the distance and said, "Is the one entering in front the EDG team? There are so many people blocking it that I can't even see the female player Mika. What a pity! I still want to fight with him before the game. She said hello!"
Jungler xmithie said, "What a pity! The opening match will be between us and edg. Then you will have plenty of time to communicate with others face to face - I heard that the female player is edg's thigh, huhi you have to be careful."
Huhi rubbed the bridge of his nose and said, "Of course I know! But it's Mika who should be careful! EDG underestimates us so much, just wait for today's game. I will definitely make LPL embarrassed in front of the global audience!"
xmithie said, "You seem to have said this several times in the hotel."
Huhi said, "Can't you say it again? I just feel uncomfortable. Why does EDG think that our teams in the North American division are weaker than the teams in Europe? If there wasn't such a hateful schedule, maybe I would still be willing to be friends with Mika."
"Just you?" xmithie said very self-awarely.
…
All teams entered the backstage of the venue.
At one o'clock that afternoon, the msi opening ceremony officially started!
