LOL: The No. 1 Succubus in the eSports Circle

Chapter 32 PDD: RNM add money!

"Congratulations to KT for winning the game. Let our post-match interview guest say hello to all the players and viewers."

In the interview footage, Ren Dong first made a brief opening statement, and then handed the microphone to Mata's mouth.

Cui Ze also held a microphone in his hand, waiting to prepare for the next Korean translation.

"Da Jiahao, I'm KT's assistant Mata, okay then I'll see you later."

Hearing this poor Korean-Chinese accent up close, Cui Ze almost couldn't help laughing out loud, but he pursed his lips and tried hard to keep his facial expression steady.

Not many people noticed this detail. For the audience in the live broadcast room at this time, what they were concerned about was why Cui Ze, as a professional player, appeared as a translator in the post-match interview of the S8 World Finals, and whether he was competent for this job as a translator.

Soon, Cui Ze gave the answer with practical actions.

After saying hello, Ren Dong immediately asked the first question of this interview, and after listening, Cui Ze immediately gave a fluent Korean translation:

"As the first LCK team to play in the group stage, did you feel any psychological pressure before going on the court? In addition, after winning the first game, do you think the team showed the expected competitiveness?"

Regardless of whether the audience in the live broadcast room understood it or not, in people's eyes, Cui Ze did complete the translation in a very short time.

Then, Mata quickly gave his answer, and Choi Taek immediately switched to translating from Korean to Chinese:

"As the opening team, we felt a little nervous before the game started, so we went to the bathroom together before going on stage to relieve some stress before going on stage."

Ren Dong asked again, and Cui Ze quickly translated from Chinese to Korean and from Korean to Chinese. Mata also understood some basic Chinese vocabulary, so she answered very quickly.

The three of them worked together to quickly complete the post-match interview, and the comments in the live broadcast room changed from doubt in the beginning, to surprise, and finally to praise.

【6666666】

[No, buddy, you really can do it? ]

[Where's that guy who said he wanted to eat the computer screen? Speak!!!]

[Wrong brother, is it too late for me to become a fan now? 】

[It's too late, come, drag this guy out and behead him! ]

[Dude, stop showing off. You are strong, handsome, and can translate Korean. You are letting those internet-addicted teenagers in LPL who haven't even been to high school play with hammers (laughing and crying)]

【As an undergraduate student majoring in Korean, I just want to say that there is basically no problem with his translation. He also simplified the words he used in the translation for Mata, probably because he was afraid that Mata would not understand the advanced vocabulary. Then he beautified the words when translating from Korean to Chinese. It can be said that he achieved the level of faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance! 】

This comment of "faithful, expressive and elegant" may seem a bit exaggerated, but it is actually not an exaggeration.

The so-called "faithfulness, expressiveness and elegance", "faithfulness" means that the meaning should not contradict the original intention, that is, the translation should be accurate, without deviation, omission, and should not add or subtract meaning at will; "expressiveness" means not sticking to the form of the original text, and the translation should be smooth and clear; "elegance" means that the words chosen in translation should be appropriate, so as to achieve conciseness and elegance.

When translating, Cui Ze would convert some advanced Chinese words spoken by Ren Dong into simple Korean words that Mata could understand. As for the relatively low-level Korean words Mata used when answering questions, Cui Ze would convert them into more elegant advanced Chinese words. Of course, this was relatively rare because Mata's words were really too plain and it was really hard to translate them.

All in all, the fact that this translation has been recognized by entry-level professionals shows that Cui Ze’s ability is indeed sufficient for the job of translation.

This post-match interview, which lasted only 3 minutes, quickly sparked heated discussions in the domestic gaming community.

In the League of Legends super topic and League of Legends event super topic on Weibo, many players and spectators were discussing enthusiastically, and many e-sports self-media also rushed to join in. The number of fans of Cui Ze's Weibo account also grew rapidly.

In the forum, groups such as the Anti-Pressure Bar, the Blame Bar, and the OGN Bar are also posting heated discussions.

Even in the game videos posted by the "Bilibili League of Legends Tournament" account on Bilibili, there were many comments praising Cui Ze's translation, and the number of comments on the interview clips was significantly higher than the average number of game clips.

In one word – popular!
As an annual e-sports event, the traffic of the League of Legends Global Finals is extremely large.

Even though it is only the first day of the group stage and the competition is not intense, and even though both teams in this match are from other regions, given the current size of LOL in China, as long as the news spreads, it will be hard not to become popular.

For Choi Taek, he had no idea what was being discussed in China, because after he finished the Chinese-language interview with Mata, he had to go to the Korean-language interview to prepare - the second game was EDG vs. MAD (this MAD is the LMS team MAD TEAM, not the European Madrid Lions MAD Lions).

Meanwhile, the Magic City, 832 kilometers away from Busan.
After seeing Cui Ze appear in the post-match interview and sparked heated discussions in the circle with his excellent translation, PDD soon became unable to sit still and immediately called his partner Dou Yuxiao.

"Hello? Dad, have you watched the game?"

"See, you want to tell me about Cui Ze, right?"

"Ya'er, you really do understand me!"

"No need to say anything. I will send his agent to Korea tomorrow. Damn, he didn't even know that his anchor was going to the World Championship to be a translator. The circle is discussing this everywhere, but our Xiaoxiang is the last to know!"

PDD added: "It's not enough to just send an agent, send a lawyer to go with him. Since Choi Taek just showed up at the S-League today, quickly cancel the previous contract and sign a new one with him!"

"Sign! Definitely sign! What are the conditions? What level of treatment should be given to him?"

"Let me think about it." PDD pondered for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "Level 1, give him the treatment of a Level 1 anchor!"

"Level 1? That means he is the number one player in our Little Elephant LOL section, second only to Lao Ma. Shenchao next door is only this high. Are you sure?"

"Sure!"

"Don't think about it anymore?"

"Are you still considering what to do if someone steals the deal? You've seen the contract we signed with this guy before. Even the weakest guild can easily afford the liquidated damages! If we don't seize the time to get him, we'll regret it when he becomes a big streamer in the future!"

"." Dou Yuxiao on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, and finally agreed with PDD's idea: "Okay, let's do as you say, let's take a gamble, let's bet that this guy will soar to the sky in the future!"
