South Korea, Incheon!
In the past, not many people knew about this city, and it can even be said that most people have never heard of it!
However, since the opening of S8 this year, news about 'Incheon' has spread all over the world!
All because it is the venue for the finals of this global finals!
It can be said that at this moment, on November 3, this city has almost gathered the attention from all over the world!
The storm is gathering!
From the streets and alleys, to the signs at major subway stations, billboards on high-rise buildings, etc., they are all filled with advertisements about the S-Games!
The venue for this year’s finals is Munhak Stadium in Incheon.
This is a giant stadium originally built for the 2002 World Cup. In a sense, this stadium has become one of the main symbols of Incheon!
As the final stage of the S competition, the specifications in all aspects have been reached to the highest level!
At this time, in the officially designated hotel.
Early in the morning, everyone at IG got up and started packing. After breakfast, they got on the bus and rushed to the venue.
As the bus moved forward, it was fine at first, but when it got closer to the venue, the flow of people around it became congested!
Along the way, audiences from countless countries and regions came into view!
What came to my ears were also countless different languages!
certainly.
The largest number of them are local Korean viewers and Chinese people who come from China to cheer for IG!
"Breathe—breathe—"
on the seat.
Ah Shui gently lowered the curtains, leaned on the back of the chair, and began to take deep breaths to adjust his rhythm.
"What?" Next to him, Lu Chen said calmly: "Are you starting to feel stressed?"
"Nonsense!" Ah Shui came to his senses, rolled his eyes and said, "Who can be stress-free?"
This is the final of the World Championship! !
No matter how ambitious a player is, they will inevitably feel nervous and stressed when they reach this point, right? !
Didn't you see Rookie, Baolan and others in the distance? Even The Shy, who usually reacts the least, is closing his eyes to rest and adjust his mentality!
Thinking of this, Ah Shui glanced at Lu Chen who was next to him with a calm face. Well, he was really not stressed!
"Calm down," Lu Chen turned to look out the window at the huge stadium that looked like a super-large sailboat, his eyes becoming distant: "We can't lose."
Incheon.
Even in later generations, it is a name that is like a mark.
And today, they will put this mark on it with their own hands!
Soon, the bus drove in from the backstage of the venue.
Everyone started a series of makeup, rehearsal and other processes.
At the same time, domestically.
online.
As time goes by, countless heated discussions have become raging!
"Why haven't you started yet? Hurry up!"
"Hurry, hurry!"
"Where is the live broadcast room! Why are there still advertisements! Can you come up with something useful!"
"IG, rush, rush! I want to watch the title defense!! I want to watch the Grand Slam!"
"I can't bear it anymore, damn! If I had known I would have bought high-priced tickets from scalpers!!"
"."
Not just the official live broadcast room.
Correspondingly, in the live broadcast rooms of other anchors, there is only one topic of discussion at this time - the finals!
It can be said that today is a holiday for all anchors in the league circle!
Because they no longer need to play games by themselves as usual, they only need to turn on the live broadcast and watch the game with the audience!
Well, let me make a few more critical comments.
Just when the storm is about to come online.
Finally, the time came to one o'clock in the afternoon!
The entire Incheon Munhak Stadium opens early!
Countless spectators began to file in with support items in hand!
In just a moment, this huge venue, which can accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, was filled to capacity! !
At this time, the front row of the auditorium was directly in front of the main stage.
Principal Wang led the way with a smile on his face, and kept saying hello: "This way, this way, aunt and uncle, our place is over here!"
Behind him, there were several figures following impressively!
Rita! Xiaoyu! The Shy’s parents and Lu’s father and mother!
Apparently.
For the first time in such a scene, Father and Mother Lu were not quite used to it, with a hint of embarrassment on their faces.
After all, there are so many people around, and the languages from various countries are mixed together, which makes people dizzy!
But when Rita next to them said a few words in time, the two people's attention immediately shifted, and smiles appeared on their faces.
In contrast, The Shy's parents are obviously much more adaptable to this scenario.
"There are so many people." After sitting down, Mother Lu looked around and couldn't help but worry: "With so many people watching the game, they must be under a lot of pressure, right?"
"Don't worry, Auntie." This time, the person who replied to her was Principal Wang who was not far away. He had an extremely confident smile on his face at this time: "They have already experienced this kind of scene last year, and they are familiar with it!"
To put it bluntly, among the current IG players, including King Ning who is in rotation, which one is not a competition player?
The more they encounter such a competition and under high pressure, the more outstanding their performance will be!
"That's it," Mother Lu seemed relieved after hearing this.
On the side, Father Lu remained silent. He just looked at the main stage in front of him, as if waiting for something.
Be reasonable.
Even Lu Chen himself didn't know that his parents would come to the scene.
In the past, whenever the word 'e-sports' was mentioned, they would inevitably frown, let alone go abroad to watch the game!
This time, it was Rita, the soon-to-be daughter-in-law, who invited them here!
As early as after the previous quarter-finals, Rita told Lu Chen that she wanted to give him a surprise.
At that time, Lu Chen thought that Rita would just come to the scene, but what happened?
Of course, the fact that Father and Mother Lu are willing to come has a lot to do with their mental journey this year.
From winning the trophy at the Bird's Nest in S7 to winning gold at the Asian Games and bringing glory to the country, after each incident, their concepts have actually changed dramatically!
Anyway.
Lu Chen, who was still backstage at this time, knew nothing about this!
He was still chatting leisurely with Ah Shui and others. To be precise, they were joking with each other to divert the pressure.
"Brothers, who is C today?"
"Does that need to be said? It must be Brother Shen. Lao Deng should put more pressure on him~!"
"? You're a little kid, you're already playing AD and you want someone else to be C?"
"Hey, who said AD has to be C? It can also be a tower tool guy."
"Then I'd rather C!"
At this time, Lu Chen suddenly remembered something: "That's not right, The Shy should come to C, and his parents will be there to watch the game."
As soon as these words came out, The Shy's expression not far away changed, as if a switch had been triggered.
Lu Chen, who said this, had no idea that his parents had also come to the scene.
