Wa: It’s broken, I’ve become a cutting monster!

August 8st finally arrived. For the long-awaited fans, these few days were really tough. A series of problems with the venue equipment before the game were also solved. Although many players still reported lag, considering that the championship was held in South Korea, it was good enough that you could keep the network cable connected!

Some readers who look like Daniel Wu may ask, why are the players complaining about the equipment in the stadium not working before the game even starts? ? Did you make it up to increase the word count? Actually, no, it’s not!

For a large-scale world competition like this, it is not that players can just show their peripherals to the officials on the day of the competition and then go on stage to play. Instead, they have to take their peripherals to the venue for a "tryout" several days in advance. This allows you to get used to the equipment of the competition and get familiar with the process of going on stage, including where your seat is.

After the tryout, you cannot take your own equipment with you. The official will take your peripherals away and inspect them. It may take half a day or a whole day, depending on the situation. And the equipment lags can't really be blamed on the organizers, because they are all provided by Riot Games!

You can't say that your organizer has a cooperation with a certain brand and directly use Samsung monitors for the competition. Riot has its own league sponsors and doesn't need the organizer to provide equipment at all! This is also the reason why Riot can make the competition so popular, and everyone can make money together.

Riot does not charge any money for the "slot fees" of professional teams in the league, and even gives money to the team clubs every year! The purpose is to increase the enthusiasm of professional teams, to directly invest money to buy and rent players for a league spot, and to enable higher-quality professional players to participate in Valorant competitions!

In comparison, the professional league next door, OW, has sky-high ticket fees and dismal game viewing rates...

Back at the stadium, the first thing to do was the opening ceremony performance. I have to say that South Korea is worthy of being a country that can display "BTS" as a specialty at the Olympics. The opening ceremony girl group danced really hard!

The high-tech lights shine on the high-tech girl group, and the audience below feels like they are not servers! If they were servers under the stage, wouldn’t they be able to see everything with their long legs and miniskirts? ?

After a feast for the eyes singing and dancing, a middle-aged man in a white suit came on stage and gave a passionate speech. Since no one could understand him anyway, I won’t write down what he said specifically.

After that, FPX and TH took the stage, which was also the highlight of the day. The first match was the showdown between the champion and runner-up of the Shanghai Masters!

"Welcome to the 2024 Seoul World Championship! Here, 16 teams from four different regions will compete for the trophy! There is only one winner. Who will stand out among these 16 teams? Will FPX, the champion of the Shanghai Masters, continue to show their terrifying dominance or will a dark horse that emerges suddenly overtake? Everything is possible! And all of this will be revealed slowly starting today!"

"Let's welcome the two teams in today's first match! FPX and TH!"

Accompanied by the commentator's magnetic voice and exciting BGM, 14 people from the FPX and th teams took to the stage one after another!

If we have to choose which team has the most youth and vitality, then TH must be the team! Except for the big brother BOO, the rest of the team are all kids around 20 years old, and Woot and Miniboo are not even 19 years old!

But facing such a big stage and so many audiences, TH had no fear at all! Woot still appeared in his classic look with sunglasses, excitedly raising his arms to interact with the audience on both sides. Benyu also wore a bear hat and held a bear doll, and the rest of the people except BOO also jumped out...

If TH gave people the feeling of being on vacation, then FPX's appearance gave people a feeling of... a circus performing at a night stall? !

Let’s not talk about the “little ingenuity” of Ayang tripping over the steps and falling directly on the stage. Shan Anyang and Life behind him didn’t care about Ayang falling down at all, and jumped directly onto the stage to make a big appearance for the audience! The introverted autumn and Zhang He behind him were also forced to make a scene. They each held a small firework cannon in their hands, trotted to the sides of Shan Anyang and Life’s appearance, and gently twisted the end of the firework cannon towards the sky. With a “bang”, countless colorful ribbons sprayed out! After spraying the ribbons, the two quickly stood beside Shan Anyang and the others.

"Wtf! Who fired the gun?!" BOO, who hadn't walked far away, was startled by the sound and almost had a heart attack. He thought, the game hasn't even started yet, and FPX is already in a gun game! Looking back, he happened to see Shan Anyanglife and Ayang, who had staggered to the front battlefield, standing there. Countless ribbons fell on the three of them...

This is not the end. Xia An and Su Di, who were at the back, came on stage with the bright red flag of FPX and stood behind Shan Anyang and his team. The cameramen at the scene also understood the traffic. They trotted forward and squatted to shoot this wonderful scene face to face!

FPX’s collective appearance!

It didn't last long, after all, th was still waiting in front. Several people immediately started to move forward, and Shan Anyang threw small gift boxes to the audience on both sides while walking!

"Congratulations on getting rich! Congratulations on getting rich!"

These foreigners had never seen anything like this before. When they were confused, the small gift had already hit their faces. The curious foreigners opened the small gift box, which was very small and square.

I opened it and saw, WTF! There was nothing else in the gift box, just a small rectangular object...

Huazi!

"WTF! A Chinese specialty!" Although the foreigner had never smoked Huazi, he knew about cigarettes! He immediately wanted to open it and try this "ancient oriental stimulant", but the security personnel on the scene immediately stopped him!

The audience in the live broadcast room were all stunned. Although they had already accepted the abstract fact of Shan Anyang, his performance in the later stage was no match for those who were blessed by God!

"What the hell is going on here?"

"Isn't this too abstract? FPX has lost face abroad!"

"I was at the scene, and the eggs were distributed by Huazi! I grabbed one!"

"Wow, this is weird, right? You're already watching it live, right?"

“I couldn’t understand the Korean commentary at the scene either!”

"What Mr. Dan did is of far-reaching significance. In the near future, if Korea wants to apply for Huazi to be listed as a world heritage site, this video will be the evidence!"

"That makes sense! The egg part is awesome!"

"The egg is awesome!"
