Chapter 662: Respect is something you have to earn yourself
When the last note of the national anthem was played .
The bright red color rose above the Mahaka Square Esports Arena.
The atmosphere on the scene was ignited again.
but.
The carnival belongs only to the team that has won the highest achievement and the domestic audience who have come from afar.
Runner-up position.
Chidi's sobbing hasn't stopped yet.
Faker, Xiaohuasheng, Kiin, and Corejj all had expressions of reluctance and confusion on their faces, with their emotions stuck in their hearts with nowhere to vent.
A corner of the audience seats.
The South Korean audience left the theater one by one.
When Lee Sang-hyuk was still just Lee Sang-hyuk, without the ID Faker or any prefix, the Devil Grandma who accompanied Lee Sang-hyuk in practice until six in the morning also walked towards the exit with steady steps.
The devil grandmother, who was an athlete, firmly believed that the grandson she raised would not lose his fighting spirit because of a temporary setback.
I am more convinced that when glory comes again, all the scars will make the light shine brighter.
But whether this can be achieved will take time to prove.
When the award ceremony and all subsequent events were over, it was already 4:39 pm.
A total of six players, including five main players and one substitute, had just walked out of the venue when they were stopped at the exit by reporters and cameramen carrying various equipment.
This time, Abu and the logistics team did not open the way again.
Let the team members enjoy the moment of being the center of attention.
——With the gold medal in hand, everything is settled.
If someone disagrees...
Humph.
Let’s wait and compete again in four years!
After receiving news from backstage staff that the League of Legends national team was being interviewed, CCTV-5 Sports Channel also temporarily added a live broadcast.
The screen is synchronized to the entire network.
The cards are full.
"Congratulations on winning the gold medal at the 2018 Jakarta-Palembang Asian Games. Do you have anything to say? How do you feel now?" The CCTV reporter was the first to step forward and ask questions.
Reporters holding microphones with their own media logos and other small TV station logos could only wait on the side.
"Uh... this..."
UZI has not yet recovered from the excitement of winning the championship: "I haven't thought about what to say yet, let them talk first."
It’s not that UZI has not been interviewed before.
But LPL regular interviews and official interviews are two completely different concepts.
It doesn't matter what you say about the former.
If you are unhappy, just say "pass" and it's okay.
When facing an official interview, if something is said inappropriately, the situation will be very embarrassing.
Fortunately, the reporter is experienced.
Seeing that the fat man with a striking figure was unable to speak, he immediately transferred the microphone to the person with the highest appearance.
Xing Dao thought for a moment and sorted out his words: "I am very honored to participate in such a grand event as the Asian Games as a member of the national team. I am also very glad that we were able to defeat all other teams, win the gold medal, and defend the honor of the country. The moment the dust settled on the game, I was really excited."
"I would like to thank the Asian Games leaders, the coaching staff and logistics team who worked so hard for us, as well as the seniors and all the spectators who came across the ocean to support us."
"I hope that through this Asian Games, e-sports will continue to move towards formalization and systematization, so that more people will like and participate in e-sports."
Hear the answer you want.
The CCTV reporter moved aside contentedly.
A lady holding a Zhejiang TV microphone came over and said, "The national League of Legends team did not lose a single game from the preliminaries to the finals. What is the main reason?"
"To be honest, it is very difficult to win all the games," said Xing Dao. "Teams from different countries and regions have their own characteristics. Every game is a new challenge for us. We were able to win all the games mainly because our tactical system is more diverse and we face every game with the most serious attitude."
"Do you have any experience to share about participating in the Jakarta Asian Games?" the reporter from Sina asked others.
"It is indeed a brand new experience." The factory manager, who is both a coach and a player, took the initiative to say: "After this period of training, I really felt the difference and connection between e-sports and traditional sports. It has given us a clear direction to work towards."
Next.
UZI, Meiko, Xiye, who adjusted their mindsets, Mala Xiangguo who did not have the opportunity to play, and head coach Abu were all interviewed.
Highlight the idea of equal treatment.
After all, since we have won, we naturally have to let everyone show their faces.
"Wait, wait!"
"I want to ask, what do you think of the Korean top laner Kim Ki-in (Kiin) saying that you don't respect your opponent before the game?"
When we were about to board the bus.
Suddenly, a voice that seemed to be anxious for the world to be in turmoil emerged.
Looking at the 'UC' logo printed on the microphone in the hand of the reporter who was jogging over.
Xing Dao smiled and said, "Everyone has a different perspective, so naturally there will be differences in opinions, but the so-called respect is never given by others, but earned by oneself."
"——If you are not strong enough, even a thumbs up from your opponent will be considered a humiliation."
Answered the last sentence.
The group boarded the bus back to the Asian Games Village.
Get ready...and eat!
I was afraid of problems with the urine test, so I didn’t dare touch any food.
Pork, mutton and beef that may contain hormones, offshore seafood that may be contaminated and cause diarrhea, etc. are all banned.
The game is over.
The last urine test was also completed.
What are you waiting for?!
Not only eat meat and seafood.
Even local foods are not spared!
Must admit.
Indonesian food is much better than that of Sri Lanka without the 'Nician' suffix.
Nasi lemak, kielbasa, fried cake, pagoda rice, beef rendang, cassava leaves cooked in coconut milk, and the Indonesian specialty salad Gado-gado all look great and taste great.
The team members ate a little bit of everything until they could not eat any more and then returned to the dormitory with full stomachs.
Rested for more than a day.
By the evening of August 30, members of the national League of Legends team boarded the return flight together.
The reason why we didn’t travel around the local area like we did after the MSI and Intercontinental Championships is because the pollution in Jakarta is too serious, and the burden on the body from the equatorial low pressure area brought from North Temperature is also quite obvious.
UZI, who is fat and kind-hearted, has developed a lot of eczema on his body. He can only cure the problem by going back.
What's more, we have to prepare for the LPL playoffs.
Early morning of August 31st.
A large passenger plane MU5070-Airbus 330 painted in blue, white and red landed at Pudong International Airport.
The national team, mainly composed of EDG players, supplemented by RNG players, and logistical elites from major clubs, had morning tea together at Yapin Tea Restaurant and said goodbye with different feelings.
UZI's face was full of regret as his 'Champion Experience Card' expired.
I can’t wait to transfer to EDG and cling to the top laner.
pity.
EDG has no shortage of AD.
Even RNG, which is quite good at setting up contracts, would not send competitive players to teams in the same region.
This regret may always be a regret.
