Chapter 376 Chapter 375-battle team's appearance
Although the trophy didn't look very big from a distance, the audience could clearly see the details of the trophy on the big screen.
It was very exquisite!
In fact, the entire trophy was plated with pure silver and weighed 32 kilograms. The entire trophy was carved into four parts. On both sides of the trophy were two embossed of China Dragons. The dragon's tail was coiled around the body of the cup, and the bottom of the cup had a dragon scale pattern. It was a natural thing.
The dragon's eye was the finishing touch of a custom-made top-grade diamond. Under different radiances, it would show different resplendent effects.
If one were to summarize it in one sentence: Everything he saw was hand-carved; The beauty presented was like a king chasing after a deer!
Through the big screen, the audience could clearly see the details of the championship trophy. Although they didn't know the specific specifications and craftsmanship, it was clear that the sincerity of the organizer was vividly reflected in the details of the trophy!
At the same time, the BGM changed again, and the big screen began to play videos of the teams participating in the competition.
One scene after another, one professional player after another.
His hands were wrapped in bandages.
His back view walked towards the arena.
He looked down from the viewing elevator.
In an ancient alley full of China Style.
Outside the stadium.
In the wilderness.
On the rooftop.
The 16 teams flashed past one by one. At first, only the captain of each team had the camera, and finally, it was the group photo of the entire team.
These scenes were basically taken from all over Shanghai. Some of the iconic locations and buildings were all captured. Some were even shot in the studio, such as a scene in the wilderness, which was completely synthesized in post-production.
Accompanied by the background music, the entire video exploded with excitement. After seeing their favorite professional player, the audience burst into endless applause and screams.
The lights in the front row were turned on, and many of the audience members noticed that the flags of the sixteen teams were hidden in the shadows of the stage. These flags were all of the same standard, about three meters tall.
At the same time, a team logo appeared on the big screen. It was team NTW's team logo. The five players of team NTW appeared on the long screens on both sides of the big screen. In the passionate BGM, team NTW's Captain, a European with long blond hair, walked out from the backstage and waved to the audience before standing next to the team flag.
The sixteen participating teams entered the arena one by one.
The order of appearance was Europe, the United States, Korea, and China. Each division would send out a team in turn, which meant that they were automatically divided into four groups. Each group had one team from each division.
The captains of each team made various poses to greet the audience according to their preferences. There was even a very flashy Captain of the United States team who simply danced a short dance in front of the stage, which received a burst of applause and cheers.
The audience was also very respectful. No matter which country's team it was, they all gave a very warm applause.
Especially when the China team appeared, the audience in the entire Stadium shouted the team's name together, and the atmosphere reached a small peak.
The appearance time was quite long, lasting more than ten minutes, to ensure that every team had enough time to make an appearance.
After all the teams had appeared, the host went on stage.
"Welcome to the world Finals of League of Legends S1. I'm your host, Zhang Yang. Summoners, please show me your enthusiasm, can you?"
The host's image appeared on the big screen. Zhang Yang was dressed in a purple suit, looking particularly energetic. There were also many Zhang Yang fans in the venue, and all of them cheered and clapped enthusiastically.
Zhang Yang was also the most experienced commentator and host in the country. His ability to control the situation was very strong. When he heard that he would be able to host the world Finals of League of Legends S1, he was very excited and had prepared for it for a long time.
"The 16 top teams from all over the world have arrived and are about to aim for the World Championship trophy, the highest honor in League of Legends. At this moment, they need your blessings and shouts. Let's cheer them on together, okay?"
The crowd erupted into even more enthusiastic applause and cheers.
"Alright, thank you to the representatives of the sixteen teams. Please enter the training room to rest. We would also like to thank the esports DJ, teacher Yuan Meng, for bringing us such a wonderful opening show. Let's give him a round of applause!"
On the big screen, the camera zoomed in from far to near, sweeping across the captains and flags of each team, and finally focusing on the championship trophy in the center.
"Hero, I will fight for you!"
"League of Legends Season 1 Global Finals, begin now!!"
As Zhang Yang announced the start of the Grand Final, the audience burst into even louder applause and cheers. At the same time, the style of the BGM changed again, and the host's screen was seamlessly transferred to the commentator's seat.
……
The opening of the S1 finals was broadcasted live across the globe.
There were a lot of channels for the livestream this time, including the official website of League of Legends, major livestreaming platforms, video websites, and clients. This was especially true for the client, where players could freely observe the entire game. Some professional players or live streamers could also open their own livestreaming sources to explain and stream the game.
There were two streams this time, a Chinese stream and an English stream. The English livestream source had only replaced some of the Chinese on the screen with English, but the commentary was definitely still in Chinese.
Because time was tight, their influence abroad was not that great. It was definitely too late to invite specialized commentators from Europe, America, and Korea to explain the game in China, so they could only let them broadcast it in their own country.
On the live streaming site, the number of people watching the S1 World Finals of League of Legends grew. The number of viewers on the fish-catching live streaming platform alone had exceeded two million, which was more than some of the big live streamers.
Not only that, but the popularity of the major live broadcast rooms was still rising. The full screen of bullet comments had to be distributed, otherwise it would not be clear at all.
The opening of League of Legends's S1 World Finals had shocked the audience!
Before this, many people had watched e-sports competitions through live broadcasts, but the opening was usually very simple. At most, there would be a song and dance performance or cosplay performance, and often there would be a very long and dragging speech by the leaders. It was simply boring to the point of exploding.
However, the audience was surprised to find that this year's S1 finals was completely different from any previous e-sports competition!
The bullet screen was already filled with all kinds of 666.
"F * ck, this opening ceremony is so cool. It feels like the cards are comparable to some traditional sports. They even made their own characteristics. Awesome!"
"The effect of this holographic projection is great, and it's very creative. It has integrated the characteristics of the map and the heroes!"
"This trophy is really cool! It's not only high and Grand, but it also has China elements and there's a Chinese dragon embossed on it. It's so cool!"
"The theme song is great too. It's so exciting. What's the song called? can you find it online?"
"The sixteen teams look so good. These players must have put on makeup. They look so energetic, unlike the previous e-sports competitions, where they looked like Internet-addicted teenagers who spent all their time in internet cafes."
"This promotional video is also very sensational. It's super cool!"
"And the entire pace is very tight. There's no awkward speeches from the leaders and we've entered the competition directly!"
"I regret not going to watch the game live! The atmosphere at the venue is so good that I can feel the cheers from the venue even through the screen. "
"I regret it too. If we had the Grand Finals next year, I would definitely have bought a ticket to the live venue!"
