Chapter 200: Get ready to go to Msi
Whether Guo Mingyu can pay back Ye Xiu's money is not the point for now. It is said that Guo Mingyu promised to pay him back with the prize money if MSI wins the championship.

As the opening of MSI draws closer, a new wave of publicity for Tenghai has quietly begun.

Under the overwhelming traffic offensive, soon,

"Have you heard? Some of our guys are going to the White Eagle Country to compete!"

"I heard that we have to compete with many teams like the foreign devils, the Japanese devils, the Korean devils, etc. for the championship of...Aimousaisai!"

"Great! Bring glory to the country! A strong youth means a strong country! Thumbs up for the Chinese youth!"

"But why did I hear that... those kids seemed to be going there to play games?"

"No, I saw that the promotion on Xianyu is all called e-sports, which sounds high-tech!"

"That's right. Look at these guys. They look so energetic! They are nothing like those unkempt young men in the Internet cafe!"

"Uh... maybe I made a mistake..."

Similar conversations began to appear occasionally in the chats among middle-aged and elderly people after dinner.

It has to be said that the tactic of binding the sentiments of family and country had an immediate propaganda effect in China before it was played out by certain international predators.

After Tencent Esports deliberately replaced the label of "playing games" with "e-sports" and focused its publicity on the key point of "the young generation fighting for the country".

It is of course unrealistic to break out of the circle immediately, so at least it needs to be reported and recognized by official media.

But it is enough to take the opportunity to leave a slight good impression in the hearts of the mainstream people in society.

As for the rest, it depends on whether the LPL teams can perform well enough in future games.

Time flies, and soon, with the champions of all twelve regions around the world decided, the first MSI, which will determine the status of major regions in the future, will be staged at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, the White Eagle Country.

In a sense, this is the first large-scale international e-sports event since the rise of Honor.

All eyes are on you.

Modu International Airport.

"This is my first time going abroad..." Zhang Jiale dragged the huge suitcase, looked around, and was as excited as a child.

"Actually, it's just like that. Once you really go abroad, you will find that it's not much better than China." Guo Mingyu, who had stayed in the White Eagle Country for some time, explained with a chuckle.

"Due to many issues such as acclimatization and language barriers, the quality of life abroad is likely to be worse than that in China. You should be mentally prepared."

Zhang Jiale nodded, and suddenly thought of something, and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, you are joining us in the MSI this time, but your previous team didn't show any reaction?"

Before returning to China and joining Fanhua, Guo Mingyu worked in the uniform team of Team Liquid for quite some time. This experience allowed him to handle Fanhua's daily affairs in an orderly manner.

"Of course there is!" Guo Mingyu took out his mobile phone and brought up the message interface to show Zhang Jiale.

"Hey, bro, take our share and kick C9's ass!"

TL also performed well in the LCS Spring Split, but fell to the champion C9 in the semifinals.

"Is he... cheering for our Chinese team and asking us to defeat the White Eagle team?" Zhang Jiale found it a bit funny.

Sun Zheping, who was watching the fun, also complained: "Can this be considered a good opinion?"

"That's not true. In Europe and the United States, the sense of national belonging in e-sports events is indeed not strong, and many players are not even necessarily from their home countries."

Guo Mingyu obviously understands the national conditions of the White Eagle Country very well.

"For example, the White Eagles team we are about to face, I think you have already seen how bizarre their lineup is."

"It's indeed fitting. I didn't expect five people with five different birthplaces."

White Eagle's C9 team is very strong and competitive, and may be qualified to compete with Fanhua for the championship. But whether it is Fanhua or other teams from other regions, the first thing that I noticed when studying C9, in addition to its White Eagle Air Force background, is their strange personnel configuration.

In addition to the fact that the jungler is a pure old redneck family of the White Eagle Country,

The top laner Impact is from South Korea and came to the White Eagles just to play games.

The central player, Plzen, is of Danish descent.

Bottom lane player Doublelift Peng Yiliang is of Chinese descent, a typical ABC.

The support player is even an extremely rare African player in the e-sports field.

Regardless of whether they are strong or not, no matter where these five people stand, at least there is nothing wrong with their diversity.

"Hey, what are you guys talking about? You look so happy, should I be happy too?"

Just when everyone in Fanhua was chatting excitedly, a humorous voice came from not far away.

Wei Chen waved at them and walked towards this side with a large group of people.

Although it is not hosted by LPL, necessary staff, such as cameramen, interviewers, commentators, etc., still have to go to Los Angeles together.

Since there was no conflict in our schedules, I simply bought the same flight ticket as Fanhua.

"Long time no see, Old Wei!" As both of them are from the first batch of older players, Guo Mingyu and Wei Chen have a pretty good relationship.

"Yes, I haven't seen you for a while. You've been doing a lot of things abroad without saying a word!" Wei Chen walked up to him and greeted him without any awkwardness.

"Come on, let me introduce you!"

"What's there to introduce? Aren't they all old acquaintances?" Sun Zheping complained.

"This time it's different because we may have to interview players from other countries' teams, so we specially brought a few new hosts who are fluent in multiple languages."

Wei Chen said this while waving at the crowd of staff.

Soon, two young girls in their early twenties came behind Wei Chen, each dragging a suitcase.

"These two are both top students from prestigious universities!" Wei Chen felt proud to show off his juniors' academic qualifications in front of a group of semi-illiterate people who couldn't even get a high school diploma.

"This is Xia An, a graduate of the University of Hong Kong, fluent in four languages!"

"Hello everyone from Fanhua, I'm Xia An, please take care of me in the future!" Xia An has a lively personality, and without Wei Chen saying much, she took the initiative to come forward and shake hands with everyone from Fanhua.

"Four languages! That's amazing!" Zhang Jiale exclaimed while shaking hands.

Not to mention being fluent in four languages, he couldn't even write his own name in four languages.

"Is your education so high?" Sun Zheping and Wei Chen whispered to each other.

"Of course, there can be no ugly ones among the elites selected by Tencent Esports?" Wei Chen looked proud.

"You are familiar with my partner Wang Duoduo, right? He also graduated from Renmin University!"

Sun Zheping suddenly thought of something and said with a sly smile, "Then aren't you the ballast that lowers the average cultural level of the commentators?"

"Fuck you, I'm also a top student who graduated from a home-based university..."

After Xia An shook hands, the relatively quiet girl next to her also began to introduce herself.

"Hello, all the seniors from Fanhua, my name is Zhao Enjing, and I graduated from Seoul National University..."

　That’s all for today. I have two exams tomorrow, so please bear with me.
