Chapter 139 [Arrival]

"finally reached!"

After getting off the plane and taking a big breath of fresh air, Chu Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

There is no direct flight from Pudong Airport to San Francisco. They need to transfer at HK, and then fly for nearly 17 hours. The landing time is already around 11 o'clock in the local time.

There was a time difference of about 15 hours.

When IG arrived in San Francisco, there were still 9 days before September 30 for them to adjust their status.

"Get your luggage, and then everyone will go through the relevant immigration procedures."

The three teams and the LPL official commentary team took the same plane to San Francisco, so that they can coordinate and stay at the hotel.

For IG, this is the first time they have arrived in the United States. Except for Rookie and the coaching staff who have gone abroad, the rest of the players are the first to smell the smoke outside.

The 2016 MSI was held in Shanghai, and RNG, who represented the LPL competition area, hadn't gone abroad. Now that Wang Cheng has arrived in a foreign country, he is very excited.

Putting on the calling card issued by the Riot team, Wang Cheng turned on the video and called home without stopping.

In the strange eyes of the people around, he raised his mobile phone and shouted, "Mom, look quickly, there are all foreigners here."

As soon as the words came out, Zhu Songge's face was covered with black lines.

Hastily stopped his act of death.

Free America, shooting every day.

In case of being targeted, encountering "zero yuan purchase" is a trivial matter, in case of being targeted and killed by a male gun who has just debuted, it will be a bit difficult.

Chu Ge wasn't very interested.

The old terminal building of San Francisco International Airport doesn't look special, and it may even be old, which makes it look a little bit dilapidated.

After filling out the application form and going through the procedures at the border, you can go to pick up your luggage. Along the way, the official commentator came to chat with Chu Ge from time to time, and left each other on WeChat.

I have to say that Banana Project has spent a lot of money this time.

The lineup of the commentary team is very luxurious.

Basically, all the commentary teams of LPL have been recruited to the World Championships. In addition, there are Baron Nas Liang Xiaosan, PYL, Miss Miss, Smile and White Crescent to provide game comments for domestic audiences.

This is not half of the LPL. Basically, the family has reached the S6 global finals, and the expenses during the whole period are borne by Banana Project.

If this plane is whitewashed, the LPL event officials are basically wiped out.

Regardless of the fact that the incidence of aviation accidents is the lowest among all means of transportation, there is basically no chance of survival if something happens.

But also understandable.

The purpose of the Banana Project is for the LPL to officially release the promotional videos and group photos of the players and commentators for the expedition ceremony, so as to make a big battle to attract the attention of all the players.

Get big traffic.

After finishing everything, it was already an hour later. Chu Ge's legs were almost weak, and he finally got on the bus with the Riot logo on it and headed to the hotel.

The three teams are together, and the commentators are on another bus.

The staff responsible for receiving the players is Wen Sen from Riot China.

Chu Ge's impression of him still comes from the 2017 AllStar Solo final. He mistranslated Uzi's words as a translator, which led to ambiguity that Uzi was mocking Bilson.

Although I apologized later, it still caused a lot of controversy on the Reddit forum in North America at that time.

However, Wen Sen's main job is to be a staff member who is responsible for the management of Riot China's players. The translation is just a temporary arrest, which is similar to the situation of the Vietnamese translator who killed Shuizi alone.

But at this time, many domestic players don't know much about Vincent, and only the coaching staff of EDG and IG who went to France to compete last year had some overlap with him.

He is well known to the public, and it dates back to the debut of the two heroes of Xialuo in 2017. Vincent and his girlfriend are the prototype representatives of these two heroes.

Besides.

Even in 2018, King Ning posted a dynamic message on Weibo that he would get married if he won the championship, and Wen Sen also posted a similar dynamic.

But Gao Zhenning just wanted to have fun.

But Vincent's play is real. After winning the championship, he took their makeup photos on a small island in Hawaii.

"Hello, everyone," Wen Sen said hello to the three teams on the bus. "During this time, I will be in charge of everyone's daily activities. I will directly communicate with your manager. Of course, you can contact me at any time if you have any needs."

After that, he took out his mobile phone.

"Everyone enter 4396 to join the group," Vincent raised his mobile phone, "I will post the time schedule during the competition in the group, and everyone arranges the time in advance."

What the fuck? !
Chu Ge burst out laughing.

"Why are you laughing in the group?" Ming Kai frowned.

"Nothing nothing!"

Chu Ge held back a smile.Picked up the mobile phone and entered 4396 into WeChat in front of friends, and entered the group of '2016 LPL Global Finals Official Group Chat'.

"You little bastard!"

Ming Kai rolled his eyes, looked at the daily schedule, and took the initiative to remind, "These days are relatively free, you pay attention to reverse the jet lag, otherwise the state is not good, and the hat of the Civil War Illusory God will really be put on your IG head."

Chu Ge was stunned.

It was only then that he remembered that this was what he said to Ming Kai in the Xia finals, but he didn't expect his friend to remember it.

"Okay, brother Mingkai."

The factory manager shook his head helplessly. He has nothing to do with Chu Ge. Even if the two are not on the same team, the friendship these years has been real.

As someone who came here.

Ming Kai also specially taught Chu Ge how to overcome jet lag.

Adapting to the environment is the first hurdle when going abroad to play games. Once you cannot adapt, you will easily become unaccustomed to the environment and your body will be extremely prone to illness.

The venue for the group stage was chosen in the Bill Graham Municipal Auditorium in San Francisco. The hotel arranged by Riot was nearby, not too far away.

Since teams from other divisions would come to the hotel in advance, when Chu Ge and the others arrived at the hotel, the team's training room had already been set up.

The logos of the participating teams are hung on the door of each team. IG and the other two teams train next to each other, so that it is convenient to visit at any time to make appointments for training games to exchange tactics.

Although the temporary training room is not as comfortable as the team base, it is better than looking for a box in an Internet cafe.

Compared with the amateur performance of Banana Project in China, Riot's professional performance is much better.

At least the participating teams were not asked to go outside to find an Internet cafe for training. The business of Wangyu Internet Cafe has not yet expanded to San Francisco!
Moreover, Internet cafes in the United States are not like everywhere in China.

Chu Ge is still in the same room as King Ning.

The two quickly packed up their things and ran to the hotel restaurant to take a look, only to find that the door was closed.

"Order takeout?"

As soon as Gao Zhenning took out his mobile phone, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and sighed, "Forget it, with the speed of food delivery here, I think I will starve to death when I deliver it to the hotel."

Chu Ge spread his hands, "Let's go out to eat, I see a McDonald's nearby, just eat some fast food and make do with it."

"I don't have cash with me, go back to the room first."

Compared with the convenient and fast payment method of domestic mobile phones, the United States actually prefers to use credit cards or cash for payment.

When Zhu Songge was in the hotel lobby, each of them distributed 1000 dollars in cash to the contestants to carry with them in case of emergencies.

As a result, the two walked to the lobby and suddenly realized something.

I found a place to eat, and I have money, but with their English proficiency, they probably need to use body language to let others understand when ordering a meal.

You can't order a chicken drumstick, but you have to learn how to crow, right?

But Chu Ge was lucky.

I met an international student who likes LPL and recognized them, and offered to help with the translation to solve the language barrier between them.

Chu Ge asked a question in the training team of IG.

A group of people yelled that they were hungry and asked them to pack and go home.

As a result, King Ning and Chu Ge returned to the training room with big bags and fried chicken, which prevented these lazy people from starving to death.

While eating, Chu Ge picked up his mobile phone and browsed the domestic e-sports forums to see what breaking news happened in the past two days.

When he saw the list of poisoned milk, he suddenly lost his composure.

No. [-]?

Connotation buddies pointing at S7?

The people in the post bar were even more noisy.

[Laughing to death, the top three are all Koreans, and only the director of the LPL can do it, right? 】

[Uzi ranks behind Bang, do you understand the game? 】

[No one from the LMS division made it?Is my Wolf King Casa not enough C, or is it that my little murloc in Ximen can't lift a knife anymore? 】

[Dow ranked seventh?Just killed the blue-collar top laner in the LPL league, and still have to be educated by the LCK top laner in the World Championship? 】

[Is there still a dog barking in the qualifying match between Dow and Smeb some time ago?How about this list, the number one is Smeb, official certification, can those Dow÷ not play dead and line up with me? 】

【Semb is your father, right? The LPL top laner finally has a super top laner like Dow, can the troll go to the toilet and plug his stinky mouth? 】

[Laughing to death?The poisonous milk list also made Han Za make a fool of himself, let's see if the amount of milk in the fist is sufficient in this world competition, or your filial piety is strong]

The scolding battle has almost never stopped, and when the post is blocked, another post will be opened to continue the fight. Chu Ge has seen many headlines that lead to war.

He clicked in with a smile, and clicked out with a cry.

can only say.
Good-looking is good-looking, that is, every 5cm consumes a horse.

Turning off the domestic forum, Chu Ge took another piece of chicken leg and took a bite, and frowned after taking a bite.

The taste is not quite similar to domestic ones. It is also a bit too oily. If there is not a super large cup of Coke to relieve the greasy, otherwise it will not be able to eat at all.

He took another look at the Riot vs. team ranking list.

The top three are ROX, SKT and EDG, while IG, the No. 1 seed of the LPL, is ranked fifth, and TSM, the king of training games, is ranked higher than them.

Not only was Chu Ge not angry, but he silently gave a thumbs up.

It can only be said that besides the poisonous milk, the fist is really a war dog.

Who doesn't know that IG won the LPL summer championship with a crushing score of 3:0. The champion is ranked behind the runner-up, which is simply a joke in the world.

But Chu Ge can also understand.

IG's reputation is too small, not even as good as last year's LGD, at least they still have S4 champion Imp in their team.

On the other hand, IG.

Even the influence of Rookie's Chicken Allah's name only exists in the league, and the other four are not very well-known.

"Pigeon, have you read Riot's team rankings?"

Rookie patted his teammate on the shoulder, "Why does it feel like we are the No. 1 seed so frustrated? We were labeled the weakest in the LPL before the game even started."

"It's okay," Chu Ge said with a chuckle, "If e-sports competitions can be won by relying on these rankings, LGD won the championship last year."

"Championships are won. To deal with these vain and useless things, it can only be said that capitalists will play with public opinion."

If it were Gao Zhenning who asked this question, Chu Ge would still laugh at him saying that he couldn't afford it.

Ning Wang is definitely the kind of player with a big heart. The bigger the stage, the better he will perform.

But Song Yijin was not.

As a person with future memories, Chu Ge knows very well that Song Yijin's mentality is not as good as he imagined.

Otherwise, there would not be two consecutive incidents where I forgot to buy equipment when I went out twice, and there would be a problem with the broiler mentality in the fifth game of BO5.

"Do you believe that I am Qin Shihuang, or do you believe in the fist list?"

Under Song Yijin's puzzled eyes, Gao Zhenning leaned over and giggled, "Then I will definitely believe that you are Qin Shihuang, I don't even look at the list of fists."

IG's poor performance in the World Championship last year, coupled with the fact that Tabe disregarded the obstruction and exposure tactics of European and American commentators last year, also made the outside world generally not optimistic about IG.

After all, dark horses are still used to describe IG in Riot's list comments, rather than strong teams.

From 2014 to 2016, during these three years, the official LPL league couldn't even handle the promotion of its own division, let alone the overseas promotion like Shit.

The neighboring LCK divisions are only willing to make appointments with the top LPL teams for training matches, and they don’t want to know more about it, let alone the European and American divisions across the ocean.

Even if they know, will they like it?

FNC is the champion of the S1 Internet Café League.

The overseas promotion of the LCK division is in place, and it has cultivated European and American audiences to watch the games of the LCK division. Players who play well can go to the LCS to retire.

Even if they form an all-Korean class, they have fans.

LPL officials still have a long way to go, at least they have to win a championship first, let Europe and the United States see that the Internet cafe league is worthless after all.

Although the domestic forums are very controversial about the players, the team rankings, except for Krdog, are basically the same to the outside world.

[This fist is purely to attract war dogs]

[The fists are ranked, IG can't return the trophy to EDG?]

[Where's the brain?They are all bullying to the head, brothers, is there anyone who flushed the fist official with me? 】

[Then I have to tell the story of my dad’s capture of the BG website in 01]

[Lucky to be one of those 8 people!Let’s talk, do you want to hang the IG team logo on the official website of Riot]

[Brothers, calm down!Don't be impulsive, it won't be too late to wait until the LPL wins the championship this year]

[It’s just the poisonous milk list, Rox and SKT will be poisoned to death by fists this year]

King Ning explained Qin Shihuang's meaning for a long time, and the broiler finally understood, and bit off the chicken wing in his hand, "Then I also believe that you are Qin Shihuang."

After eating, the members of IG's competition training team fought back their drowsiness and continued training.

Calculated according to domestic time, it means that they are still staying up all night, and they cannot sleep even if they are sleepy, so they must adjust their schedules.
