Chapter 40
After the first BO3 game ended and a short break, the second game started.
In this game, IG did not play Bai Qiu, but Duke. The reason for playing Bai Qiu in the first game was to let him get familiar with the professional arena.
In the following games, IG will gradually increase the number of Bai Qiu's appearances until he has completely integrated with the team and adapted to the professional arena. In the S7 period, Duke's strength and condition were still very good. Since winning the championship in the World Finals in S6, Duke's competitive condition has been very good.
Compared with Bai Qiu, Duke's integration with other IG players is obviously a little higher. There was no suspense in the second game. IG flattened LGD's crystal base in about 30 minutes.
So far, IG won the first game of the 2017 Summer Season BO3 with a score of 2-0.
After returning to the lounge and waiting for a while, the notice for the post-match interview came.
Bai Qiu was invited. This was something the IG club had specially strived for, as it was an opportunity for Bai Qiu to appear in public.
It must be said that IG's training of Bai Qiu is real, and everyone can feel it.
Hearing that he was going to be interviewed, Bai Qiu stood up and prepared
""Brother, don't be nervous, just do the interview normally and don't say anything nonsense." Rookie patted Bai Qiu's shoulder and encouraged him with a smile.
""Turtle, when can I be interviewed?" Ah Shui next to him was envious. He was not old enough and probably would only have this opportunity next year.
"You, just wait, it's too early."Ning Wang ruthlessly mocked
"…I'm not afraid, I'll go sooner or later." Ah Shui counterattacked.
At this time, a young lady who led the team came over and took Bai Qiu to the competition venue.
All the way to the interview seat, facing the huge audience off the field, Bai Qiu couldn't help but feel a little excited.
"Hello~" The person who interviewed him was Yu Shuang, a well-known actress in LPL. When she saw Bai Qiu approaching the stage, Yu Shuang politely greeted him and then discussed with him the questions she would ask later.
Normally, she would not do this, but Bai Qiu was a newcomer and she was afraid that he would be too nervous and something might happen during the live broadcast.
Fortunately, although Bai Qiu looked a little weird and quiet, in sharp contrast to the radical and bloody player on the field, his thoughts were very clear.
Everything went smoothly. The director gave a hint and Yu Shuang immediately put on a professional smile.
"Okay, welcome to the post-match interview. We have invited IG's new player, Cherish"
"Cherish, say hello to everyone."
Bai Qiu picked up the microphone and said,"Hello everyone, I am IG's top laner Cherish."
His voice was a little low, and many of the audience who were attracted by the bloody sword princess were stunned.
"This... why is it so weird"
"Is this the new guy who just beat up the sword master?"
"He is handsome.…"
"It's mainly about temperament. This person has a good temperament... He feels like he comes from a scholarly family.…"
"Good boy"
"Ah, I love you."
After the first game, many of IG's original fans welcomed Bai Qiu.
"Um... OK, then welcome Cherish." Yu Shuang smiled and asked,"As everyone knows, this is Cherish's first time playing in LPL. I heard that Cherish played professionally for several years... Now it's your first time playing in LPL, how do you feel?"
Bai Qiu simply said,"It feels good."
Yu Shuang asked,"Then... did you feel uncomfortable? You played against Jinoo in the first game. Did you feel any pressure?"
"Hmm..." Bai Qiu thought for a moment and said,"It may take time to adapt... As for before the game... Actually, I didn't know I would be on the court today.…"
"??!"
Hearing this, Yu Shuang and the audience couldn't help but laugh.
"So that's how it is... Well, everyone saw that you played Fiora very well in this game. Have you practiced this hero before? The last wave of TP, breaking four in one second, was really cool. You got the MVP right after you appeared on the stage. What do you want to say?"
"I usually like to play Fiora..." Bai Qiu said:"And... I'm very happy to get the MVP, my teammates played very well too, everyone played well"
"That is...some people are saying that your style is rare in LPL...will you keep this style in the future?"
Bai Qiu paused and said,"I think so...you need to play to your advantage in the laning phase, this is what the laning players should do."
"Wow..."
This was said very coolly and confidently, and the audience screamed a few times
""Okay..."
Then he asked several questions in succession. Bai Qiu answered them all, and the post-match interview was over.
Bai Qiu returned to the backstage and followed his teammates back to the club.
At the same time.
Outside, Bai Qiu's performance on the first day also attracted the attention and heated discussion of some viewers.
