Chapter 800: Pull a Cloud Top anchor
While waiting for the All-Star Game to start for three days, the group went to Fremont Street, MGM Plaza, and the Adventure Park, which covers an area of 33 acres and has nine themed areas with different regional styles.
Next, we visited Chinatown, which can be found in many big cities, and recorded an official program in an area populated only by Chinese people.
Xing Dao and Zhou Shuyi also interacted several times at the suggestion of the staff.
Most of the day passed.
Feeling a little tired, Zhou Shuyi and Yu Shuang went back to the hotel to rest first.
Xing Dao, A Shui, Xi Ye, Ning Wang, Bao Lan, and the selected retired player Shen Chao found a roadside stall and started eating barbecue.
I have to say.
BBQ + ice cola is really happy.
The meat pieces sizzled on the charcoal fire, and the aroma filled the air.
The iced happy water made a soft 'puff' sound when it was opened.
Take a big gulp.
I feel chilled to the bone, but my heart is also high.
"I'm telling you, this is how you should eat skewers!"
King Ning, who was born in Northeast China, was very knowledgeable. He stood up, grabbed the skewer with his right hand, put it to his mouth, bit the innermost meat with his canine teeth, and pulled out the skewer with force.
Tilt your head slightly during the process.
A row of meat pieces fell precisely into the wide-open mouth.
The face is full of happiness while chewing.
"Let me try..."
The good old man Shen Chao followed suit and also picked up a skewer of meat.
Bite.
I pulled...but it didn't move.
"Brother Chao, you have to use more force, but keep your lips and tongue away so they don't get scratched by the stick."
Ning demonstrated it herself again: "You should eat meat with big mouthfuls. Tearing it into small pieces is like feeding a cat? I'm talking to you, Wang Liuyi (Bao Lan)! You even threw away the fat. No wonder you can't gain weight. Fatty meat is delicious, don't you understand?"
"Everyone has his own way of eating. Why do you care so much? Sit down." Xing Dao acted like a senior brother and waved his hands up and down.
"He's too stingy with his food." Ning muttered as he sat back in his seat, still a little unwilling: "Actually, we should get two boxes of beer at this time, but unfortunately the club won't let us."
"Alcohol reduces reaction speed. Look at Imp, he is so dedicated, but he still drinks himself to death." Xiye gave an example.
"Is Imp very dedicated?" Ning didn't quite understand.
"Of course I am dedicated!" Ah Shui said seriously , "Just think about it, Imp is either in the bar or the club, and either drinking or training. How many people can be so dedicated?"
"Uh..." King Ning felt something was wrong.
But think about it carefully.
I can’t tell what’s wrong.
Just a little joke.
Eat for a while.
The topic then turned to live streaming.
"Brother Chao, your contract is about to expire."
Xing Dao put down the can of Coke and said, " If you don't have any resources at Dousha TV, come to Menghu. We can still drive a caravan together when we have nothing to do."
There is no doubt about Shen Chao’s strength.
This can be seen from the fact that SKT triple-banned their crocodile in the S3 finals, and Faker said, "We will definitely win if we don't bomb the top lane."
To put it bluntly.
In SKT's opinion, Damu's strength is not as good as Shenchao's.
The Master Yi who switched lanes to raise Daimu is to make up for the team's shortcomings, not to say that Daimu is trustworthy.
Although Shenchao's strength has declined after retirement due to his age and reduced training volume, his awareness is still at the professional level, and he can even be ranked among the top in the professional level. He can show his "spoiler" ability whether playing Rank or commenting on the game.
but.
Shen Chao has a relatively quiet personality.
No shouting for show effect.
As the former leader of the League of Legends project, Dousha TV has a strong ability to train anchors.
Therefore, I have never recommended retired players like Shenchao.
The reason is simple.
On the one hand, Shenchao’s live broadcast effect is indeed slightly worse, and for the same recommendation, the income is relatively lower.
Another aspect is that it is easy to control the training of ordinary anchors - once their popularity has risen, they will be asked to renew their , and the contracts are unfair and have ridiculously high penalty fees.
Not renewing the contract?
Then just suppress it.
Train retired players, when their contracts expire, and highlight the one who can leave at any time.
It's easy to undercut your competitors.
"Sure!"
Shen Chao may be honest, but that doesn't mean he doesn't know the ways of the world: "It just so happens that Menghu TV just contacted me, so I'll switch over and work with you next year."
"Not really, not really. We're just driving together!" Xing Dao said, "Next year, there will be a League of Legends version of Auto Chess... It's called Teamfight Tactics, so we can study it."
"I'm good at that." Shen Chao smiled: "I've played Auto Chess quite a few times before. It's quite interesting. I think it will be popular."
"Definitely." Xing Dao was certain: "The operations and routines in normal mode are not easy to learn. Each stage has a different way of playing. Even an idiot can defeat a master. The lineup and ideas of playing chess are much easier to learn."
"Brother Jie, are you going to be a full-time live streamer?" King Ning tried to hold back, but couldn't help it and asked again.
"I told you not to mention this. You'll know next year." Xing Dao had discussed with Abu early on and kept secret the news of whether he would play in the S9 season and which team he would join, and continued to hype up the topic online.
Anyway, after the salary cap system was introduced, European and American clubs that had to keep the French king basically did not harass him.
In the LPL region, only VG is still persevering in its attempts.
"If you live stream full-time, we'll have a chance next year."
Ning Wang has a very outgoing personality and is the 'young junior brother of YM', so he speaks more casually: "Once the plating comes out, The Shy becomes much more powerful. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is invincible unless you touch him."
Once upon a time... or rather later, there was a half-joking, half-serious statement.
What he said was: As soon as the defense tower plating came out, Letme retired on the spot.
Because the plating will make it easier for players with strong laning phase, especially strong top laners, to snowball. Even if the opponent holds the tank and does not die, dropping a layer of defense tower plating is a full 160 gold coins.
This further neutralizes the risk of crossing the line.
Think about it.
The top lane is the farthest away from other team members and is an isolated position.
It will also bring teleportation to ensure fault tolerance.
If you send the troops to the enemy tower and get killed by the jungler, you will basically not lose any economy or experience.
The loss of heads can be made up by exchanging plating.
The individual ability is excellent, but not stable enough... To put it bluntly, it is a top laner like The shy who is strong in offense but dares to fight and die. The risk becomes lower and the profit becomes higher.
Considering from a single-line perspective, as long as you can take on two layers of plating, you basically won't lose if you're caught and killed.
From a global perspective, teammates can also use this to get things done.
"Don't be too confident. What if the opponents in the top lane withstand the pressure and focus on catching you in the bottom lane?" Xing Dao said in a subtle way.
"What are you afraid of? Who is our mid laner? Chicken Master!" King Ning was still full of confidence.
"That's right." Xing Dao nodded and said nothing more.
Anyway, the version details have changed.
Whether FPX can rise, whether GimGoon can withstand the pressure, and whether Rookie will decline to the point where Lucian is suppressed by Titan and cannot leave the tower are all unknown.
RNG was suppressed by EDG throughout the year and did not get cocky. They drew a favorable group and prepared seriously. Even though the version was unfavorable, they adjusted their state and easily defeated G2.
IG, which has no championship, may not be incapable of competing with FPX in the S9 season.
After chatting about some gossip or scandals about other contestants and eating for more than half an hour, Xing Dao, as the richest man with the highest net worth, took the initiative to pay the bill.
Waiting for the wildcard players from other regions, especially those from less developed economies, to arrive one after another.
The All-Star event at the end of 2018 has officially begun.
