Magic City, 10th floor of the Grand Plaza, League of Legends S1 World Finals.
There were still three days until the official start of the tournament, and the preparations for the S1 World Finals were almost complete.
The teams and players from all over the world had already arrived in Magic City, and the officials had arranged hotels and training rooms for them.
Chen Mo had personally decided on the various aspects of the S1 World Finals. Although it couldn't compare to the standards of the League of Legends World Finals in his previous life, it should be enough to amaze all the players in the parallel world.
After all, the current influence of League of Legends was far from the level of his previous life. The current standards were already unprecedented. The popularity of esports was built up step by step, and couldn't be achieved overnight.
At the very least, this was a good start.
On the 10th floor of the Grand Plaza, the staff were adjusting the equipment and rehearsing.
Sun Xiao, the person in charge of Fiery Blaze, accompanied Chen Mo throughout the entire process, rehearsing the entire process.
Sun Xiao was the person in charge of the S1 World Finals, so he was responsible for everything on the field.
He originally thought that everything was ready, but to his surprise, Chen Mo still pointed out all sorts of problems.
"Have you told the players about the etiquette? The winner has to shake hands and wave to the audience at the end of the game. Only then can they go back to pack up their keyboards and mice and leave. "
"Apart from the players' own mouse and keyboard, the officials have to prepare two extra sets of the same model. If there's a problem with any of the players' equipment, they have to replace it immediately.
"If there's a pause due to a malfunction, the director has to immediately notify the host of the reason for the pause, so the audience knows.
"Also, if there's any emergency, there has to be a plan in place. I don't want the audience to wait, and the two commentators to do crosstalk, understand?"
…
Chen Mo explained all sorts of things to Sun Xiao.
Sun Xiao had been in charge of many esports events, so he was very familiar with them. However, he still found himself lacking when it came to Chen Mo.
This made Sun Xiao have the same question as Fiery Blaze's chairman, Zhang Kaiwen: Who is a professional esports player?
After confirming that there were no issues with the opening ceremony of the S1 World Finals, Chen Mo and Sun Xiao returned to the hotel where the players were staying.
This time, the hotel was arranged as well. It was a four-star hotel nearby. It wasn't particularly luxurious, but it was close to the venue, so it was very convenient. In addition, Chen Mo specifically instructed for the players to have their own training room.
Chen Mo and Sun Xiao headed towards the training room for the Chinese players.
"How's the promo going?" asked Chen Mo.
"We're almost done. There's only one more team left, from Europe." Sun Xiao said, "Time is a bit tight, but we can definitely cut it one day before the competition. The effect will definitely be okay."
Chen Mo looked at him, "Which European team?"
Sun Xiao was stunned for a moment. "It's called Ninjas.
It's not a particularly famous team, so it's arranged for the last day. "
Chen Mo said calmly, "Just say the team's name in the future, I can remember them."
Sun Xiao nodded. "Okay, President Chen."
Chen Mo planned out a simple promotional video for the sixteen teams. This was the first World Finals of LoL after all, so there was no understanding between the different regions. It was normal for players in China not to know about foreign clubs.
Filming this promotional video would help audiences from all over the world get to know these teams better. It could also be considered a brief introduction.
However, they were in a rush. The moment these teams arrived in Shanghai, they immediately arranged for the filming of the promotional video. However, they still only finished filming now.
Chen Mo asked again, "Did the players feel conflicted during the filming?"
Sun Xiao shook his head, "Not at all, everyone felt that it was quite refreshing. Previous competitions didn't have this segment. The promotional video made them feel that this competition was very formal and ceremonial.
"However, everyone was quite worried about the effect of the promotional video. They were afraid that it would be awkward when it was edited."
Chen Mo laughed, "Don't worry, it won't be awkward. My storyboard will definitely be amazing when it's edited."
Sun Xiao nodded with a smile, "That's true, President Chen. You're one of the best storyboarders in China."
The two chatted as they arrived at the training room for the Chinese players.
The training room was in the hotel. The teams from different regions were on different floors, and there were staff there to take care of them.
Every team had their own dedicated training room. Apart from the computers used for daily training, there was also a relatively large TV to study tactics and watch other teams' matches.
Sun Xiao introduced, "Most of the Chinese teams are here. This is the IF team's training room."
The four Chinese teams in the finals were selected through the qualifiers. They definitely represented the highest level of professional players in China.
The four teams were:
IF, MG, NRG, and NTCLUB.
Chen Mo already knew this result, it was pretty much the same as he predicted. These four teams were all on the roster for the League of Legends, and they were all veteran teams in China.
NRG was a bit younger, but their boss placed a lot of importance on League of Legends. He spent a lot of money to get two celebrity players, so they weren't any weaker than the other three veteran teams.
From the performance of the qualifiers, IF's performance was the best. This team was called Immortalfairies. It was the most financially powerful club in the country. The five members of the team were all top players in the country. Basically, the most talented players in League of Legends had been recruited into this team.
Chen Mo heard laughter coming from the training room just as he reached the door.
"Hahaha, Luo Yongchang, you've been soloed again."
"Hu Jing, don't get cocky. I just miscalculated the Summoner's cooldown. Let's go again if you dare."
"Go again, do you think I'm afraid of you?"
"Alright, you two can go solo. I just got some information on a few foreign teams, let's study them together."
"What's there to see? I've watched a few matches of the western teams, it's too much for my eyes. What can we learn from their information? How to hold in your pee? "
"The Korean team seems pretty strong."
"It's not like we've never played in mock competitions before. They're just a bunch of noobs, not even as good as the western teams. These foreign servers started two months later than us, and they have fewer players. What's there to see? "
Chen Mo couldn't help but frown when he heard the conversation outside the door.
Sun Xiao was also a bit embarrassed, "Mr Chen …"
