December 30, 18:40.
An independent building, Goose City Chiba Esports Arena!
This e-sports arena is part of the Ye Group. It was upgraded and renovated under the command of Ye Xuan half a year ago. It has an area of 20,000 square meters, can accommodate 3,000 spectators, and is equipped with complete e-sports equipment.
Tonight!
Bright lights!
"Hello, dear viewers, this is the National Television Sports Channel. We will broadcast the first game of the League of Legends World Finals tonight - the Xia Kingdom Flying Team vs. the Overlord Flag Stripe Team!"
The host broadcast the game live in a tone full of passion.
That's right, Ye Xuan invited the national television station to broadcast the event live, which is much better than those previous secretive competitive events.
Why should the national television station give face to Ye Xuan?
That's because Ye Xuan was registered with the higher-ups, and this global finals was a good way to promote the country, so after the order came down from the higher-ups, the national television sports channel began to take on this task. We also negotiated a relatively high price, paying according to the ratings. Ye Xuan calculated that he could probably get around 100 million. Of course, this is just a small amount of money and Ye Xuan doesn't take it seriously.
In addition to the live broadcasts on the sports channel, many game anchors from YY Live also came to the scene with their equipment to broadcast the games to the audience in the live broadcast room.
As the live broadcast of the sports channel began, many League of Legends fans across the country either watched TV or turned on YY live broadcast to watch this game.
"It's amazing that even the national TV station was invited!"
"Does this mean that the country has recognized the e-sports project as a sports competition project?"
"Thinking back to ten years ago, when I was being criticized by teachers, parents, and society for playing games, it was like a flood or a beast. I felt sad and happy at the same time. The competitive project has finally been recognized!"
"The boss is awesome!"
This is the first game of the League of Legends finals, and it is a match between a domestic team and a team from a hegemonic country, which is of great significance!
Two days before the show started airing, discussions on the domestic Internet were already in full swing.
#The First Battle·Xia Kingdom VS Hegemonic Country# was in the top ten hot searches on Weibo for two consecutive days.
As soon as the live broadcast started, the ratings rose to %
In the YY live broadcast room, there are 20 game anchors with a total audience of 30 million.
At the same time, League of Legends operators around the world will also broadcast the game in real time on the national television sports channels at this time, and broadcast the entire game to countries all over the world.
…
The live broadcast begins.
The sports channel did not start with a live broadcast of the interior of the stadium. Instead, it showed a helicopter aerial shot of the night view of Goose City with bright lights. The camera then gradually zoomed in and landed on the Chiba Esports Arena, which was full of a sci-fi atmosphere.
Ye Xuan requested to add this shot so that foreigners abroad would know that Xia Country is not full of slums as shown in Hollywood blockbusters.
The camera switches and the scene moves to the competition hall and the competition scene.
Then came the opening ceremony, which was relatively simple but also full of ceremonial feeling.
19:00
The competition officially begins.
The commentator is Zhang Dawei, a lol master and the number one game anchor, and Tangtang, the number one beauty game anchor.
Zhang Dawei used his eloquent tongue to shout out, "Now, please welcome the members of the Xia Country Flying Team to the stage!"
A burst of exciting lol background music sounded, and everyone was cheered up.
All the members of the Feitian team stepped onto the e-sports stage one by one.
Lights converge!
The stars are shining!
Zhang Dawei began to introduce enthusiastically: "The lineup of the Feitian team is known as the best top laner..."
In the live broadcast room, a message appeared: Feitian will win!
Densely packed and extremely popular.
The introduction is over.
Next came the Flag Team of the Hegemonic Country. After they came on stage, the live broadcast room was filled with laughter.
"I think they look fat."
"It's confirmed. He ate secretly without anyone noticing, but he got fat overnight and everyone knew about it!"
"23333~~"
"I feel sorry for the chair..."
…
…
Hegemonic country.
Operator Ubisoft and Netflix have jointly acquired the broadcasting rights for this competition and will show the first game of the lol global finals to the whole country.
Real-time viewers: 10.53 million!
At the beginning, when the aerial view of Goose City at night appeared, many viewers from the hegemonic countries were shocked.
Is Xia Country's economy so developed?
The thought flashed through my mind, and the scene had already come to the competition scene, where two teams appeared one after another.
When the Flag Team came on stage, many fans were stunned.
What's the matter?
Feeling fatter?

In addition to the hegemonic countries, other countries where LOL is popular include Smecta, the Philippines, India, the island country, Gallic Chicken Country, Arthur Country...
