Chapter 411: After the Grand Finals
In the stadium for the S1 World Finals, the applause and cheers lasted for a long time.
Even though the audience did not directly partic.i.p.ate in the S1 World Championship, as players of League of Legends, it was a great honor for the tournament to gain so much attention and influence.
“League of Legends S1 international Grand Final has come to an end,” Chen Mo announced loudly.”Everyone, let’s meet again in S2!!”
The crowd erupted into raucous applause and cheers again, and many of the audience members were even shouting.
“Goodbye, S2! Next year’s champion has to stay!”
“Go, NRG!!”
“Chen Mo is awesome!”
“Little Blackie, smile at the camera!”
Chen Mo left the stage amidst the audience’s cheers, leaving this glorious moment to his five teammates.
At this point, the S1 World Championship of League of Legends came to a perfect end!
…
……
After the game, all the players were still immersed in the excitement of winning the S1 finals. It was foreseeable that this had become a wild celebration for all players of League of Legends, and the popularity of the finals would take at least one or two months to subside.
The brief interlude in the S1 finals had sparked a heated discussion among the players.
For example, in a post-match interview with the NRG jungler, Jiang Hao, the reporter asked him what his first feeling was after winning the championship. Jiang Hao actually said,””The trophy is too heavy!”
Many netizens checked and found out that the trophy this time was actually 30 kilograms. It was no wonder that Jiang Hao felt that it was heavy. It was difficult for five people to lift it!
There were also enthusiastic netizens who discovered a small detail when the NRG was holding the cup. Jiang Hao was the first to rush to the side of the trophy to hold it, but after lifting it a little, the trophy did not move at all!
Fortunately, the other team members quickly came over and raised the trophy together, so this scene was not noticed by many people.
However, this small detail was still discovered by enthusiastic netizens and caused a heated discussion on the internet.
“Hahaha, Jiang Hao is so cute. His first reaction when he wins the championship is that the trophy is too heavy?”
“Yeah, the trophy is really impressive this time. 30kg? It’s no wonder little black can’t lift it. With his small body, wouldn’t he hurt his waist if he really lifted it?”
“Didn’t you see how careful the five of them were when they held the cups? If it hits the ground, the trophy might not even look good, and the stage might even have a hole in it!”
“Amazing, I can only say that this year’s S1 Grand Final is indeed impressive. I’m only impressed by Chen Mo when it comes to acting cool!”
“Chen Mo: I’m not targeting anyone. I’m just saying that when it comes to acting cool, none of you are as good as me!”
“The domestic team won the championship, I’m satisfied! Let’s go for a spin!”
……
On various forums, there were more and more posts about the championship of the NRG. A large number of League of Legends players were discussing the newly crowned King team, discussing their latest tactics and signature heroes in the finals.
On the various live streaming platforms, the S1 Grand Finals ‘special live stream was still being kept, replaying the process of the NRG winning the championship. There were still hundreds of thousands of viewers watching every day.
On various video websites, all kinds of videos and information about the championship of the NRG were exposed, and they were very popular. Even the daily training, SOLO, and meal scenes of the NRG in the base were all talked about by the players.
The popularity of this compet.i.tion was far higher and more lasting than anyone could imagine.
Many players all expressed that they hadn’t seen enough, they wanted to see more!
As a compet.i.tive game, League of Legends had a lot of spectators. For some players, watching the game was even more fun than playing the game themselves.
For example, some of the more difficult Champions, such as Icebird and riven, players couldn’t play them at all. However, in a compet.i.tion, professional players could use them to kill everyone and play with extremely exquisite control.
Many players would feel a sense of immersion when they saw the team or player they supported. They would also feel a strong sense of satisfaction after winning the game.
As such, many players were saying that it would be great if the Grand Finals were held every month!
Of course, some players quickly retorted,”there’s a finals every month? It was unrealistic in all aspects. Moreover, if there was one every month, then he would not be so excited.
However, once a year was indeed too long. Players were still looking forward to more small compet.i.tions in China and continue to see their favorite teams and players.
Their wish was soon realized.
After the finals, Chen Mo made two big announcements.
“To celebrate the champion of the NRG, the skins of all the heroes who have been used in the final will be on sale for a week. They will be sold at a 50% discount from their original price. At the same time, all Summoners will receive double gold coins and double experience in this week. In addition, the officials will be creating a champion skin for the NRG. ”
“In addition, all the major divisions will start to form League of Legends professional leagues. “Currently, there are four major divisions: the domestic division LPL, the North American Division lol NA, the European division lol EU, and the Korea division lol. We will be working together with local e-sports organizations to build a long-lasting compet.i.tion system. Starting from S2, the compet.i.tion in the major divisions will be the only channel for the global Finals.”
At the same time, the official website of League of Legends also began to release some details about the league, including the information of the partic.i.p.ating teams, the schedule, the rules of promotion and relegation, the spots for the world compet.i.tion, and so on.
Moreover, a lot of the audience had realized that the LPL would officially start at the beginning of next year, and it would be held at the Grand Finals venue, Shanghai’s big square.
“I just said that I haven’t seen enough and now you’re here for the league?”
“Awesome, there’ll be a compet.i.tion in a few months, and it’s a league. Will it be a seamless match for next year’s s2 World Championship?”
“Amazing! Chen Mo planned all of this, a set of combination punches?”
“Wow, as long as it’s a champion that has been used in the NPC, all the skins are half price? F * ck, why did Chen Zhao suddenly have a conscience?”
“The one above, you’re really naive …”
“But I’m more concerned about the champion skins of the NRG. I wonder what kind of skins Chen Mo will make for the five Guys.”
“Yeah, the champion’s skin is so good! When the time comes, we’ll have five people in the game and everyone will use their own skin. This posturing is simply destructive!”
“My wallet can’t wait! As long as the NPC exclusive skin is done well, we’ll buy it no matter what!”
“Yeah, it’s a domestic team after all. We have to support them!”
After the World Championship, the popularity of League of Legends had been rising. Even the number of active players and the number of players paying for the game had increased significantly.
The S1 finals itself was the most effective publicity. Whether it was the venue, the trophy, the partic.i.p.ating teams, the number of spectators, or the prize pool for the record-breaking, all of it showed the players that League of Legends was a game that was constantly developing and improving. It was very likely that it would become the most popular compet.i.tive game in the world.
This also attracted more players to join League of Legends.
