Chapter 122 We promise not to use Huang Shaotian first in the trash talk segment! (4000 words)
Xu Boyuan was wandering around the Hongqiao subway station, looking at the map in his hand, feeling a little crazy for a moment.

Half a month ago, he accepted Liang Yichun's invitation and agreed to watch the opening game of LPL in person today.

At the time, he was thinking, isn't it just watching Blue Rain's game? He had watched it countless times in the past few years.

A few days later, when he had nothing to do, he took out the ticket and played with it, and then he found out:

The venue of this competition is not Blue Rain’s home stadium in Guangdong Province, but in Shanghai!

Feelings are like an away game!

There was no choice, since he had already agreed to it, Xu Boyuan could only bite the bullet and get on the high-speed train to Shanghai.

Then I got lost at Hongqiao Station.

After wandering around for a long time, Xu Boyuan still couldn't find where the performing arts center was. He was getting a little anxious.
Finally, I heard a few greetings from behind: "Lanqiao!"

Xu Boyuan turned around with a sense of relief, and saw four familiar figures standing at the entrance of an inconspicuous little door.

Where is the outlet for emotions...

Xu Boyuan cursed himself for being so stupid as to walk over quickly to meet up with the others.

"Sorry, sorry, it's my first time in the Magic City, and I'm a little lost."

"It's okay, it's like this the first time you come." Ru Yehan, who was standing at the front, smiled.

Shuguang Xuanbing turned around and deliberately lowered his head towards the back, and joked to the quiet young man: "Why don't you say something bad about him?"

The young man seemed a little embarrassed, and said in a voice as quiet as a fly's hum: "I just got lost, it's nothing..."

Xu Boyuan was stunned, and asked tentatively: "Who is this..."

"Wilting willows around the bank! You didn't recognize them!" The other three laughed, and suddenly the small entrance was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Xu Boyuan was dumbfounded.

Rao'an Chuiyang is a newly emerged master of Lanxi Pavilion in the seventh season. Because he uses the same swordsman profession as Xu Boyuan and has a peculiar personality, the two of them are somewhat at odds with each other.

Even when Xu Boyuan used Blue River's trumpet to open up new territory in District 10 and eventually ran into Jun Moxiao, he also intended to avoid him.

But tell me that this honest-looking brother in front of me is the arrogant one who is wandering around the willow tree?
Then Xu Boyuan could only sigh that the Internet is really hot!

Seeing that the other person was so shy and introverted in real life, Xu Boyuan suddenly found it funny.

Thinking back now, all those countless grudges and grievances in online games in the past were nothing more than some harmless disputes of pride.

Such a big game like Honor is about to fail, do you still care about this?
He took the initiative to walk up to the somewhat reserved Willow Tree on the Bank and extended his hand: "Let me introduce myself. I'm Lanqiao Chunxue. Nice to meet you."

Raoan Chuiyang was stunned, looked at Xu Boyuan's outstretched hand and hesitated for a moment, and finally stretched out his hand: "Raoan Chuiyang."

When the two hands were clasped together, Raoan Chuiyang seemed to grit his teeth and suddenly said, "I'm sorry for offending you in the guild before."

Xu Boyuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "It's no big deal."

The grudge between the two masters, which was almost irreconcilable in the past, was blown away by the wind so easily.

Seeing this, several other masters also joined in the cheering and celebrated this century-long reconciliation.

At this moment, Liang Yichun ran towards them breathlessly: "Sorry, sorry, I'm late!"

He held a box in one hand and a large Blue Rain flag in the other, and walked towards the crowd breathlessly.

Xu Boyuan looked at his Blue Rain outfit and wanted to laugh: "Why are you doing it so formal?"

"Of course not. I have to direct the fans to cheer later!" Liang Yichun said confidently.

"Many things in the new league are very formal, and the atmosphere is completely different from the previous ones. You will see it when you enter the league later."

Liang Yichun distributed the support items and Blue Rain uniforms in the boxes to a few people, then carried a large banner and led his people towards the performing arts center.

On the way, Xu Boyuan couldn't help but ask, "Dachun, why is the game held in Shanghai? Isn't Happy's home court in Suzhou and Hangzhou together with Excellent Era?"

Liang Yichun's answer was understated, but the information contained was huge: "Because LPL, at least in the first season, there are no team home stadiums, all games are held in Shanghai."

"No home court?" Xu Boyuan was stunned, and asked quickly: "Don't we have a home court in Blue Rain? Happy should have one too, right?"

Liang Yichun explained calmly: "Yes, there are, but the alliance does not plan to use it for the time being."

Feng Xianjun also thought at the beginning whether he should continue to use the home stadiums of these teams.

But after thinking about it, I gave up.

For those grassroots teams, traveling back and forth to several places to play games is a huge drain on both financial resources and health.

Instead of having them fly to other places every few days, it would be better to hold all the competitions in Shanghai.

Anyway, the Hongqiao home stadium funded and built by Tencent Esports is large enough and can accommodate the needs of the game without the need for other home stadiums.

Once the major clubs have attracted investment, expanded in size and have spare money, it won’t be too late to introduce other home stadiums!

After listening to Liang Yichun's explanation, Xu Boyuan suddenly felt a little embarrassed like a country bumpkin coming to the city.

He didn't expect that there would be so many details involved in just a home court issue.

He immediately gave up on himself and said, "I'm just a layman anyway, so don't blame me if you can't understand the game later."

"Don't worry, League of Legends games are easy to understand, and the commentators we invited are quite professional." Liang Yichun was very calm.

"How professional can he be? Can he compare to Li Yibo?" In Xu Boyuan's mind, Li Yibo, who once played in the Tyranny team, is the ceiling of commentary.

"Just wait and see." Liang Yichun kept it a secret.

Arriving at the competition venue, Blue Rain specially prepared front row tickets for them, and they sat down in an area very close to the stage.

Xu Boyuan looked at the decoration of the scene. The stage was decorated in a sci-fi style, with sharp and crisp lines and a strong sense of futurism.

What surprised Xu Boyuan more was that the contestants' fighting seats were set up openly on the stage, decorated with bright LED screens.

In the Glory competitions, the competition stages are all closed rooms, and the audience cannot see what the players are doing.

It is said that this design was to prevent players from being disturbed by the external environment in an era when the noise-cancelling headphones were not effective enough. Over time, it has become a kind of routine.

Xu Boyuan suddenly thought of something and laughed, "Dachun, if the Glory League could be run like this, wouldn't there be so many problems between Master Ye Qiu and Excellent Era?"

In terms of the exposure that LPL provides to players, Ye Xiu is the absolute face of the league, and it won’t take more than a season for him to debut as the center.

If there weren't so many troubles, maybe Ye Xiu wouldn't have to fall out with Jia Shi, and he wouldn't have to run into the online game to compete with Blue Brook Guild and other guilds for BOSS and records.

Lan He wouldn't be so angry that his blood pressure would be high every day.

Liang Yichun was about to answer when the lights at the scene suddenly dimmed and thunderous cheers broke out all around.

"It's started, it's started, watch carefully!" Liang Yichun was very excited.

After the cheers lasted for a few seconds, suddenly, a voice so familiar that Xu Boyuan had PTSD for a moment rang out in the venue:
"Blue Rain is a very strong team. Each of their players has balanced abilities and no weaknesses."

Ye Xiu’s figure appeared on the big screen on the stage, sitting on a stool with a half-smile on his face.

Just when everyone was wondering why he was praising his opponent, he suddenly changed the subject:
“It’s just that it doesn’t have any advantages.” Ye Xiu revealed his true colors with a sly smile on his face.

"Oh my god, is it so tense?" Xu Boyuan was shocked. In the past, there was trash talk in the Glory League, but it was just typing on the public screen during the game to adjust the mentality.

It has never been said that the trash talk segment will be made into a short film and played before the game.

As he spoke, Ye Xiu's trash talk continued.

"How should I put it? I think what Blue Rain should focus on most right now is actually psychological counseling after the game."

"After all, they suffered a crushing defeat right at the start. It was a big blow to those two kids."

The offensiveness of this passage suddenly increased.

While Blue Rain fans were angered by Ye Xiu's arrogance, some of them had already spontaneously started shouting Huang Shaotian's name.

That's right! Would we, Blue Rain, be afraid of trash talk?
But we have Huang Shaotian!
Sure enough, after Ye Xiu finished talking trash, the scene changed and Huang Shaotian appeared on the screen.

Instantly, the Blue Rain fans present burst into deafening cheers.

Huang Shaotian seemed to realize that it was his turn now. He immediately sat up straight, cleared his throat pretentiously, and was about to speak.

At this moment, a hand covered his mouth.

Li Xuanjun, Yang Fan, and Chu Yunxiu, one of them covered Huang Shaotian's mouth, while two of them pulled him, dragging the struggling Huang Shaotian out of the camera.

Yu Wenzhou was left standing there, smiling apologetically at the camera:
"Sorry, out of chivalry, we solemnly promise not to use Huang Shaotian first during the trash talk session."

As soon as these words were uttered, the audience suddenly turned into a sea of ​​joy.

As expected of Blue Rain, you really know how to create show effects!

The tense atmosphere created by Ye Xiu's two arrogant trash talks was immediately eased by Huang Shaotian's words.

On the screen, Yu Wenzhou waited quietly for a few seconds before speaking slowly:
"I think it's a very lucky thing that we can play against Xingxin in the opening game."

"After all, this way the game will be exciting enough, and easy enough to win."

"As for the kids, I believe in Wenbo's ability to adjust. Losing a game won't be a big deal."

It was not until the end that Yu Wenzhou showed a little bit of his edge.

As is his usual style, calm and reserved.

At this time, the fans' cheers became deafening.

You guys have never seen such a show with such great effects before!
This ticket is worth it!

The trash talk session ended, and above the competition stage, brilliant red and blue lights suddenly lit up.

"Good evening, everyone in the live broadcast room! Welcome to watch the live broadcast of the 2023-2024 Spring Season of the League of Legends Professional League."

"As the opening match of the LPL, this match will be between Team Happy and Team Blue Rain!"

"This game will be live-commented by Wang Duoduo and Wei Chen!"

The commentary desk lit up, illuminating the two figures on it.

"Oh my god, Boss Wei! No wonder you said there were professionals!" Xu Boyuan exclaimed.

One of the two commentators on the stage was Wei Chen.

"How about it, did I not lie to you?" Liang Yichun smiled proudly.

As the opening game, Feng Xianjun put a lot of thought into it to ensure the best effect.

For commentary, he chose the highly educated commentators Wang Qianyuan and Wang Duoduo, whom he brought over from the Honor League and who had performed brilliantly in the Honor Season 8 finals.

The guest is naturally the well-known Blue Rain fan leader and top League of Legends anchor Wei Chen.

On the one hand, as a big anchor recruited by Pei Yunteng himself, Wei Chen has outstanding professional skills and is quite perceptive, so it is basically impossible for a major live broadcast accident to occur.

But on the other hand, as a Blue Rain diehard who has his own stance, Wei Chen's reaction will undoubtedly be very effective in the show, regardless of whether Blue Rain wins or loses.

Sure enough, after Wang Duoduo's brief opening remarks, he immediately started to ask Wei Chen questions.

"Although we are a newly launched league, both Blue Rain and Happy have many familiar faces in their lineups."

"So Captain Wei, what do you think of this fight between the dragon and the tiger?"

Wei Chen pretended to think for a while before slowly giving an answer that would not offend anyone:
“I think both sides have their own advantages.”

"How to say?"

"From the characteristics shown by the two teams in the qualifiers, although they are both top teams and ranked first in their groups, their styles are very different."

"On the Happy side, their players have outstanding individual abilities. All three lanes have top-level laning strength, which is unique in the league."

"As for Blue Rain, the jungler and support duo of Yu Wenzhou and Huang Shaotian have excellent ability to set the pace. Once they find an opportunity, the balance of the game will completely tilt."

"As for who will win..." Wei Chen kept it a secret again.

"It all depends on whether Xingxin can exert absolute suppression in the early laning phase."

"If Happy can suppress Blue Rain during the laning phase and not give their jungler and support any chance to do anything, then they have a great chance of winning."

"But if we can't suppress it, then it's back to the rhythm that Blue Rain is most familiar with." Wei Chen smiled mysteriously.

Offstage, Xu Boyuan was surprised to find that although he knew almost nothing about League of Legends, he could understand about 70% of Wei Chen's analysis.

Now, he had a little more confidence in understanding this game.

Since the league is just established, there is not much that can be said in the pre-match prediction session.

"Okay, thank you Wei Chen for your pre-match analysis. Without further ado, let's invite the players from both teams to come on stage!"

The lights dimmed again, and then two spotlights suddenly lit up, illuminating something hanging from the ceiling.

Only then did Xu Boyuan discover that there were twelve flags with the logo of each team hanging on the ceiling of the stadium.

Among them, the flags of Blue Rain and Happy were illuminated brightly by the spotlight.

A magnetic voice sounded in the arena:

"Welcome to the League of Legends S1 Spring Season, Week , Day , Game , Blue Rain vs. Happy."

Most of the audience members didn't react much, but Wei Chen on the commentary stage was shocked.

This voice...he is familiar!
