Los Angeles Memorial Stadium, which once hosted the Olympic Games in 1984, once again hosted the world-renowned second WCG global finals after 32 years.
Nearly 90000 spectators from the United States and around the world gathered here, making the atmosphere of the whole stadium warm and boiling!
The admission of the participating teams triggered the shouts and cheers of different support groups in the audience.
From the Chinese team to the American team, and then to India, Japan, Britain and other teams, the e-sports field has the same concept of country as the Olympic Games.
With the entry of 57 competition teams from many countries and regions around the world, the opening ceremony entered the next stage of game performance competition.
The exhibition competition is a hot show before the official competition. This year, the game selected as the exhibition competition is the fruit games.
5,4,3,2,1
With a huge virtual digital countdown in the middle of the field.
The lights in the whole stadium dimmed.
Followed by a colorful virtual fruit, constantly falling from the sky.
Looking around, the whole stadium becomes a sea of colorful fruits.
Among them, many fruits fell towards the audience in the audience.
Some viewers curiously touch these virtual fruits with their fingers.
"Boo"
With a familiar sound, the virtual fruit touched by the audience disappeared.
Where the virtual fruit disappears, a virtual "+ 100" number slowly rises into the sky and converges to the high altitude in the center of the field.
"Fruit games!"
"Cut fruit!"
Many of the audience at the scene have understood what's going on. This is clearly the AR version of the fruit cutting game.
Many spectators happily kept touching or rowing through virtual fruits falling from the sky.
Throughout the stadium, thousands of fruit cutting sounds sounded.
In the middle of the field, a huge virtual number is constantly changing and increasing.
130000, 180000, 500000
Every time the audience cuts off a fruit, they will add 100 points to this figure. If they cut two fruits continuously, they will add 200 points and stack them in turn.
With tens of thousands of spectators happily cutting fruit, this number becomes faster.
Within a few minutes, this number exceeded 20 million. On average, almost every audience on the scene cut at least one or two fruits. When they met the audience who liked to play, they cut more than a dozen or dozens of fruits!
Finally, when the number came to 20160000, the number came to an abrupt end.
The last four zeros slowly dissipate and become WCG. Finally, together with the words 2016 in front, they form 2016wcg!
2016 WCG global finals, official start!
That night, three game games were held at the WCG stadium in Los Angeles.
They are Tetris individual 12 into 6 games, dota2 team 8 into 4 games, and happy Xiaole individual 12 into 6 games.
Compared with the last WCG global finals, which only won the last championship, this WCG event also added the last promotion and semi-finals to the live broadcast schedule of the finals with reference to the schedule of the Olympic Games.
The purpose of this is to consider giving contestants from various countries or regions the opportunity to attend the finals in person and compete in the attention of game players and audiences around the world.
It is also to increase the event arrangement, so that players all over the world have the opportunity to see the individuals or teams they like and support at the finals!
After the game that night, Wang Zixuan and Li Yahan, who participated in the Tetris individual competition on behalf of China, both advanced to the top 6, while another 21-year-old Chinese youth who participated together stopped in the top 6 and missed the semi-finals.
In the 8-4 dota2 team competition, Ig team, we team and omg team from China all advanced to the semi-finals, showing the good strength of Chinese players.
However, in the personal event of happy Xiaole, the only contestant from China was not so lucky. She ranked seventh in total points and just missed the semi-finals, which made tens of millions of consumers in China feel sorry.
On the third day of the WCG competition, Wang Zixuan and Li Yahan, two small Chinese players, ranked first and third in total points respectively, and entered the finals.
They will also compete with an 18-year-old Israeli teenager who ranks second in the semi-finals to rank the points of the last finals and decide the final champion, runner up and runner up!
From the continuous game competitions, the audience also see that many times the competition not only needs to fight for strength, but also the endurance and luck of the players.
At 8 p.m. on August 18, on the sixth day after the start of WCG, the Tetris individual game ushered in the final ranking finals.
Around the world, especially in China, the number of people watching the live broadcast of the game reached a new high.
After Wang Zixuan, 11-year-old Li Yahan has once again become the "treasure daughter" loved by the people all over the country.
"Xiaohan is so powerful. I think she has played a calm and calm in every game in the past. She has the calm temperament of a domineering female president at a young age!"
"Yes, such a beautiful little princess wants to have such a daughter!"
"She and Wang Zixuan are too good. They are both Tetris masters, and there is only a difference of 4 years. This pair of CP knocked me!"
"I think when they grow up, they will miss having participated in such a special competition together. If they can really become lovers, it will be too immortal!"
"Yes, I found that Xiao Hanhan doesn't like to laugh. I haven't seen her smile since I first paid attention to her competition."
"When you say that, I feel the same."
On the Internet, all kinds of discussions are heard.
At the scene of the competition, on the huge electronic screen, the game interface of the three players displays the scene and the global audience like three waterfalls.
Many American audiences who saw this scene for the first time were amazed.
"My God, are they really playing the same Tetris with me?"
"God, if I have this hand speed, my boyfriend must be very happy."
"I feel my eyes are a little blurred!"
On the game screen, the box fell like a rainstorm. However, the three players on the stage stared at the game screen with their eyes blinking.
Waterfall Tetris has once again become a hot topic among audiences all over the world.
After more than 40 minutes of the game, the competition points of the three broke through the 1 million mark one after another.
The Chinese audience kept cheering for Wang Zixuan and Li Yahan.
However, there are still more American audiences on the scene. Their refueling target is more inclined to the 18-year-old Israeli teenager, Isaiah.
"Come on, Isaiah, defeat those two Chinese kids!"
"Come on, Isaiah! The United States is with Israel!"
