Alliance: My Qinggang Shadow made my alma mater famous

Chapter 441 [Incheon!Unveiling! ] (Digital Chapter)

In the few days after the semi-finals, the popularity of the S game on major domestic platforms has also gradually increased, and related topics can be seen on the hot searches basically every day.

In the "E-sports Louvre" anti-bar, all kinds of water friends also showed their talents. Every few hours, they would throw out a controversial topic, which attracted all kinds of key players, such as:

"The total number of deaths of The Shy in the semi-finals is exactly equal to the number of kills of Jiang Keda. What do you think this means?"

"The scene where Gala closed her eyes and meditated before the start of the third game reminded me of the sudden burst of seeds at MSI. Is there any explanation in this..."

"Ah Shui and Brother Jiang fist bumped after the match. It seems that the two have a good relationship. Will there be a chance to fight together in the future?"

"Live in Bengbu, Tiger's total output in the semi-finals is not as good as AD's last one, and let the emperor lose a total of [-] knives in the four rounds. Is there a more defiant mid-top than this?"

"Don't forget about Hades! He didn't win this World Championship without a Titan, and he couldn't practice Lulu for a whole year. It's time to clean it up!"

……

Three LPL teams advanced to the semi-finals, but in the end only YM entered the finals. The situation where the LPL did not lock the championship in advance naturally made many people break their defenses.

Many e-sports fans who suffered heavy losses even scolded RNG angrily in the comment area, and conspiracy theories of match-fixing emerged from time to time.

However, anyone who has watched the game normally knows that RNG and KT are not teams of the same level at all.

At the end of the night of the game, "Shi Yigua" Doinb started to replay while it was hot in the live broadcast room.

"Actually, I told you before the game that it's very difficult to fight in the LPL finals, because KT is in such a good state, it's very difficult for RNG to win. Oh my god, a lot of people told me to go back to Korea..." He A look of numbness.

Then he watched the video and analyzed the four games in the left half.

"RNG can win the first game. It's entirely because KT is testing the lineup. They just want to see if they can play Ornn and Qinggangying. After trying it, KT will know how to play. The next three There is no suspense."

"To be honest... I think KT is the team with the most tactical changes in this World Championship. The main reason is that they have two top laners, Smeb and Marin. , the hero pool is too comprehensive..."

"RNG has played so many games with four guarantees and one... Yes, I know that Uzi is very C, but it is useless. Everyone knows RNG's system. I am the coach of KT and I know how BP does...no There is a way."

After regretting RNG, Doinb brought the topic to the finals again.

"It's hard to say in the finals. KT won the semi-finals more easily than YM, and their team background is terrible. Pawn, Marin, Mata, these three all won the S championship, AD and jungler They all debuted in S2 and S3, and the entire team is full of legendary players from the LCK, while YM is all players who just made their debut this year."

"However, I still hope that YM will win the championship. As for the score, I predict it will be [-]-[-], because the two teams have never met each other, and it is said that they have not played in the training match... Anyway, let's cheer for YM!"

After speaking, Doinb directly took out a black team uniform of YM, put it on his body quickly, and then made a fist to cheer for YM.

The audience in the live broadcast room also launched a barrage.

[The old player who entered the pit in S2, I have watched it for so many years, I really hope that LPL can win the cup once, YM come on! 】

[I quit after seeing the LCK civil war in the Bird's Nest in S7. Today I saw YM enter the finals and came back obediently. LPL abused me thousands of times. I treat it like first love. Fuck it in the finals next week! 】

[S3 watched the finals with my brothers in the dormitory that year. It has been four years since I graduated. Today, my brothers made an appointment to watch the finals together next week. Although I am no longer the boy I was at the beginning, I still love e-sports It won't change, YM give me a rush! ! 】

[Upstairs you are still young, the 35-year-old greasy uncle is here!I’m going to watch it with my three-year-old son next week, and start e-sports from a baby hahaha]

[Although YM has been blackmailed for a whole year, I still hope that LPL can win the championship. Hurry up to [-] to [-], and a [-] to [-] victory would be too disappointing for me...]

As the region with the largest number of players, LPL has never lacked supporters.

It’s just that the Korean civil war was staged in the finals of the S game for three consecutive years, especially in the S7 held in China last year. In the semi-finals, both WE and RNG were eliminated and failed to reach the Bird’s Nest, which broke the hearts of fans.

At that time, some people lamented that these three years should be the darkest years LPL has experienced, and maybe there will never be a day when the LPL team wins the championship.

Therefore, after watching YM reach the finals, the once disappointed audience returned to the familiar stage one after another, like dew after a long drought.

Regardless of whether they are YM fans or not, no matter whether they are still paying attention to LOL e-sports events this year, but this November, most people have a common wish in their hearts.

Win that damn championship and break the dark history of LPL's seven-year S crown!

This is not as simple as an honor for the players on the field, but more importantly, it is an end to the regrets and unwillingness accumulated over the past few years!
……

Incheon, one of the six major metropolitan cities in South Korea, is only 65 kilometers away from Seoul. It is also the third city selected as the first-tier city in Asia after Busan and Seoul.

After entering November, Incheon has entered the climate of late autumn, with the lowest temperature as low as 10 degrees.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, a bus with the fist logo engraved on it stopped at the entrance of a circular sports arena.

The car door opened slowly, and Su Chen, who was wearing a black jacket, jumped down and looked up at the building in front of him.

Incheon Munhak Stadium, the host venue of the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, is also the venue for the finals of this year's S8 World Championship.

When arriving from the airport to the hotel a few days ago, Su Chen saw the exterior of the stadium on the bus, but she didn't know what the inside of the stadium looked like, but only saw some pictures on the Internet.

Xiaotian, Zuo Shou and others who got out of the car behind him also looked up at the gymnasium in front of them and took pictures with their mobile phones.

"Compared to the Bird's Nest, it's still a bit less interesting." PDD seemed to be leading the inspection work, with his hands behind his back, pacing back and forth to look at it.

The burly figure in a long black trench coat looks like a bear preparing to hibernate.

"It's okay, it's bigger than the venues in Gwangju, and it's open-air, I think it's quite interesting." Xiaotian looked around, and secretly took a selfie with his mobile phone.

"Let's take a photo first, and I'll post the official blog later." Meng Ma greeted, holding the camera.

Everyone also came over and formed a simple pose together.

Soon, Su Chen saw the photos posted on YM's official blog on his mobile phone. Just one minute after posting, the number of comments exceeded 1, and the popularity was still very high.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, the fist staff in charge of the reception came to the door and brought the group into the venue.

Passing through the dark passage, everyone came to the interview area set in the center of the venue.

Rows of chairs were placed on the green grass, and reporters from various competition areas entered the arena one after another, including some old acquaintances from the LPL.

"Hello!" Guan Zeyuan waved his hand excitedly with a work badge, beside Yu Shuang in casual clothes.

The two were wearing one blue and one red couple sweaters, as if they were traveling with public money.

After the finals started, LPL also sent a group of people to Incheon to broadcast, including their young couple.

"Hello, Auntie." Suantou Wangba shrank his head and said with a cheap smile.

Yu Shuang didn't care about this title, and said with concern: "I read the weather forecast, and it seems that the temperature will drop tomorrow. You all pay attention, don't catch a cold."

Before Su Chen could speak, Guan Zeyuan quickly replied: "They are all young lads, with a very durable body, they are different from the older ones like us."

Yu Shuang rolled his eyes at him: "Who are you saying is getting old!"

Su Chen smiled, and after exchanging pleasantries with the two, he followed his teammates to the interview platform.

After waiting for about 10 minutes, KT's group also entered the venue, led by Marin with a warm smile on his face.

"Arihashi~" He bowed slightly to the reporters at the scene and greeted them politely.

The same is true for Smeb, Pawn and others behind him.

KT and his team sat on the interview platform in an orderly manner, and Deft, who had dyed his hair golden hair, followed at the end of the team.

"Seventh brother, do you want to take a photo with your idol later?" Xiaotian winked at Gala immediately after seeing Deft come on stage.

Gala, who was also paying attention to Deft, was a little moved when he heard this, but he didn't feel very good. After all, they will fight tomorrow.

"Is Deft your idol?" Zhang Xiaowen asked curiously, knowing this for the first time.

Gala nodded: "I also saw EDG win the championship at MSI in 15, so I thought of going to play professionally."

"Isn't this the same as Gao Tianliang?" Zhang Xiaowen seemed to understand.

"It's a pity, your idol is in the final, and Tianbao's idol is live broadcasting at home." The left hand joked.

Xiaotian shook his head indifferently: "What does that matter, tomorrow I will catch his idol face to face, just wait."

"This Deft golden retriever is a bit handsome," Zhang Xiaowen said enviously, and then patted his head, "I will win the championship tomorrow, and I also want to fix this thing."

"Let's get a green one, it's quite suitable for you." The blood of Xiao Tian Da Onmyoji immediately awakened.

"What are you barking at the dog!? What are you barking at the dog??" Zhang Xiaowen widened his eyes, and immediately turned on the Battle mode,

Su Chen shook her head, did not participate in the bickering among the younger brothers, but quietly looked at KT on the other side of the interview booth.

He is familiar with both Smeb and Marin. The former played against each other in the Asian Games, and the latter also met once in the LPL.

But the other players, Pawn, Score, and the combination of bottom lane, he is not so familiar with.

Although KT's current core claims to be Deft, in fact they don't always play around the bottom lane.

General Pawn in the middle lane can still play heroes like Yaoji in the semifinals, and Score can also choose Qinggangying. This also shows that KT's rhythm can change at any time.

In the past few days in Incheon, apart from playing training games, the most he did was to watch KT's videos throughout the year.

The conclusion drawn is similar to that of the coaching staff. KT has no obvious flaws. This team is perfect. How they play in the final depends on the performance on the scene.

Just as Su Chen was thinking, Marin, who noticed his gaze, turned his face away and gave him a gentle smile.

And Smeb and Pawn beside them also nodded towards Su Chen.

They are all veteran players who have won championships and played in professional games for so many years. Compared with Xiaotian, Zuoshu and others who are a little restless, the KT team seems to be much calmer.

Soon, under the coordination of the on-site staff, the reporters in the audience also started to ask questions in an orderly manner.

The media open day is mainly for the players from both sides to show their faces, so the questions raised by the reporters will not be too sharp, mainly around the interaction between the two teams.

After asking some general questions, an LCS reporter asked the most interesting question.

"If you win the championship, what will you choose for the champion skin?"

The reporters in the audience suddenly became agitated, and Guan Zeyuan was discussing with Yu Shuang beside him with excitement.

On both sides of the interview booth, the captains Su Chen and Score glanced at each other's teammates, then picked up the microphones placed on the table.

"Our team has only decided on two for the time being," Su Chen said with a smile, "I will choose Jian Ji, Gala will choose Kai'Sa, and the rest have not been decided yet."

The LCS reporters were a little surprised.

"I thought your champion skin would definitely be Qing Gangying, an old friend. Isn't it your most famous hero?"

After listening to the translation, Su Chen shook his head helplessly: "Of course I would choose Qinggangying if I could, but I haven't used it in a single game in this World Championship. I was either banned or robbed by our jungler." Now, according to the rules, I can't choose, I think this task can only be handed over to Xiaotian, he should not let me down."

The scene suddenly burst into laughter, and the garlic bastard caught by Cue scratched his head in embarrassment.

In fact, he is also entangled. If he really wins the championship, whether to choose the blind monk or Qinggangying for the champion skin, so he didn't give a clear answer.

On the other hand, KT's captain Score was very polite and gave a relatively complete answer.

"We will choose Sword Demon and Crocodile for the top lane, Enchantress for the middle lane, and EZ and Thresh for the bottom lane. As for myself, if possible, I will also choose Qinggangying."

"It looks like you guys are ready to win the championship. You don't even have any backup options. Have you already thought about all the championship skins?" an LCK reporter joked.

Score waved his hands again and again and said with a smile: "We respect YM's strength, but this is an interesting topic after all. We have discussed it before. If we think about the champion skin in advance, maybe we will be more confident when playing this way."

The LCK reporter put down the microphone in satisfaction, and lowered his head to record in his notebook.

Although this year is not a Korean civil war, the LCK still firmly believes that the final champion will still be KT.

From the reporters in the audience to KT on the stage, they all revealed the self-confidence that should be taken for granted.

This is not offensive, after all, they have been winners in the past five years and have never lost in the S game finals.

After the topic of the champion skin was over, the interview ended with the trash talk between the two teams.

It was still Marin who picked up the microphone first, glanced at Su Chen on the other side, and said seriously: "I was still impressed by the exhibition match in China last year. I didn't expect that we would meet on the final stage a year later. This time I will have my revenge."

After the translation, Su Chen also replied bluntly: "I will try to end the game as quickly as possible. After all, it will be more difficult for older players to play B05."

The 27-year-old Ma Datou laughed out loud when he heard the words.

The remaining Pawn, Left Hand, Score and Xiaotian also greeted each other a few words.

Finally, it was Deft who made the finishing touches.

"I heard from my teammates that Gala's favorite AD player is me, which makes me feel very honored," Deft smiled slightly, "In tomorrow's game, I will also set an example and do what I should do, and I will not let you down .”

On the other side, Gala picked up the microphone a little awkwardly, and after thinking for a long time, she couldn't come up with any flirty words, and finally said: "I will work hard."

After the trash talking, the two teams walked off the booth, put their hands on the summoner trophy and took a photo together.

After the two-hour interview, it was already one o'clock in the afternoon.

After returning to the hotel, PDD carried two plastic bags of lunch boxes and laid them out on the round table in the meeting room.

Meng Ma was holding a lunch box, and after calling up the KT game video on the PPT, he explained while eating.

"I met KT today, how do you feel?" PDD asked.

"I used to watch their games off the court. I really didn't expect to have the opportunity to fight against each other." Xiaotian said with emotion.

Like Gala, he was an EDG fan before he became a professional player. He watched General Pawn, pilot Deft, and factory director all the way here.

"It feels a little unreal." The left hand also sighed.

Gala nodded silently.

Although they have won many honors this year, two league championships + one MSI championship, they are already the absolute first-line players in the LPL.

But compared with people like KT, their qualifications are still younger.

Marin, Pawn, and Mata are all champions of the S tournament, and the rest of them, Deft, Score, and Smeb, are also first-line players who have been fighting for many years.

After the official meeting today, everyone was still a bit shocked. On the way back to the hotel from the bus, the atmosphere was a little dignified.

"There's no need to think so much," Su Chen said, "The opponents are indeed legendary players, but you are not rookies anymore, so there is no difference."

"That's right," PDD clapped his hands, and said with a smirk, "It's all a keyboard and a mouse, and we just do it when we go to the game, and KT has a lot of older players, so we're going to die."

"It's normal to be nervous," Meng Ma paused the video playback. "In fact, including myself, I am a little nervous. After all, tomorrow may be the most important moment in our careers."

"Maybe this is the only time in this life..." Xiaotian was rarely eccentric.

After seeing the tragic scene when RNG and IG were eliminated, he finally understood what the only chance in this life is.

The left hand is also clasped with both hands, and the head is lowered, thinking about something.

With the final approaching, everyone in YM can feel the expectation from the outside world.

Now the entire LPL is talking about waiting for so many years, this year must realize the dream.

Including outsiders who usually don't pay attention to e-sports, also joined in the fun.

The final in Incheon has become the hottest topic on the domestic Internet in November.

On the surface, this is a kind of solidarity, but if YM fails in the end, how terrible the backlash of public opinion will be.

Even PDD himself dare not think about it.

"Instead of thinking about whether this is the only chance, you might as well think about what champion skin to choose." Su Chen patted Xiaotian on the head, "I think this may be more important."

"Brother Chen is still calm. It feels like I haven't seen you nervous all year long," Zuo Shou said with a smile, "Anyway, Brother Chen has the bottom line, so I don't think we will lose."

The rest nodded.

Hearing this, Su Chen was slightly taken aback, but then nodded.

He is very clear that he is YM's Ding Haishenzhen, as long as he plays online, the confidence of the rest will not be lost.

This is also what he has always demanded of himself. No matter what happens to the rest of the team, he must be the one who takes care of the team.

Because he has come here, chasing victory is what he has to do.

Otherwise, I have let down my former self, my desire and love for this stage.

"Anyway, I've been struggling for a whole year, and it's tomorrow. Come on, brothers, grit your teeth and rush over!" PDD shouted loudly.

"Rush rush!"

……

Los Angeles, USA.

Riot Games headquarters in the Santa Monica area.

Wearing earphones and carrying a KFC takeaway, the bald-headed August, humming Rap-style rock music all the way, passed by Annie the Little Red Riding Hood and went straight to the office area.

The midday sun shines through the windows, and the cool sea breeze blows the curtains dancing around.

In the silent room, there was only a bearded man, looking at the laptop with his chin resting, his brows furrowed into the word Sichuan.

"You're really here," August said in surprise, "I thought I was the only one working overtime on Saturday."

"Stop talking nonsense," Ji Wen shook his head, "I'll share half of the burger."

Reluctantly, August reached into the paper bag and gave him half of his lunch.

The two sat by the window, chatting about work while eating.

After the S8 World Championship entered the knockout stage, the Riot headquarters was divided into two teams, one part followed up the World Championship and prepared for subsequent awards and skin design matters.

The other part is to prepare for the preseason version of S9.

The relatively big change that has been finalized so far is the addition of a plating mechanism for defensive towers, which will make the laning phase of the game more intense.

August is one of the designers of this section, so he came to the company on weekends to work overtime. Unexpectedly, Ji Wen was also there.

"I'm still thinking about the new heroes that will be released in next year's version. Although I have designed some background stories, I still don't have a clue about the specific mechanisms and character models." Ji Wen sighed and touched his increasingly sparse overhead.

"I remember you want to be a top laner comparable to Fiona and Camille." August asked.

"Yes, but I always feel that many mechanisms are repeated, and I can't find any innovations," Given thought. "I hope this new hero will become a popular next year, so I have to do a lot of preparation work."

August nodded, glanced at his screen, and said instead: "Let's not talk about this, what do you think of tomorrow's finals, I'm still waiting to place a bet."

"You haven't learned the lesson from MSI," Ji Wen rolled his eyes. "Although it's just an internal bet, you never seem to win."

"It's different this time. I bet on YM. I feel that this year they will definitely be the finale of the Grand Slam!" Auguste said firmly.

But Ji Wen didn't speak, just looking at the beach outside the window.

Since the two teams in the finals were established, colleagues around me are discussing the final champion.

Many people think that JKD will win the championship this year and become another epoch-making superstar after Faker.

It was even rumored in private that the two big bosses, Ryze and Tryndamere, have already begun to prepare for the rise of LPL next year.

"Why don't you talk? Do you think KT will win the championship?" August asked.

Ji Wen shook his head and picked up the coffee cup: "I also think it's time for a division other than the LCK to win the championship, but who knows what will happen in the final?"

"Don't you think the YM team is a bit too lucky this year? I don't think it's strange if KT wins the championship in the end. The Grand Slam of the year is something that even Faker failed to achieve. Will JKD's script really be so perfect? ?”

"That's true," August recalled. "Last year I also thought Faker would definitely win three consecutive championships, but it turned out to be..."

"That's why I won't make these boring bets." Ji Wen took a sip of his coffee. "Just appreciate the process. If you expect too much before the game, you will be hit hard when the result is not satisfactory."

August, who was originally in high spirits, also felt a little bored when he heard this, so he sat back on his desk, turned on the computer and got busy with his own affairs.

Ji Wen smiled, turned his gaze back to his screen, and wanted to continue working.

However, the image of the black-haired young man he had seen in Paris half a year ago came to mind.

Tomorrow is the most important battle of his career.

If successful, he will become the first legendary player in the annual Grand Slam and the hero who opens a new chapter in the history of LOL e-sports.

If he fails, he should be sprayed miserably.

What will be the ending?
Really looking forward to it.

……

Eleven at night.

After finishing the training, Su Chen returned to her room, and just after taking a hot shower, she received a call from her younger brother Su Yuan.

"Brother! Tomorrow is the final, and I'm here to cheer you on! I'll bring my parents to watch your match tomorrow!" Su Yuan said excitedly.

"Just say a few words, you tell him to go to bed early, there is jet lag in Korea." Father Su interjected beside him.

Su Chen smiled: "Can parents understand the game? Then you have to explain to them."

"Don't worry, Dad has also learned to play LOL recently. With my teaching and help, he is already a glorious silver player. By the way, our dad's favorite hero is Yasuo." Su Yuan laughed.

"Don't talk nonsense, I just tried it casually, mainly to understand your brother's work!" Father Su emphasized.

It turned out that Dad was still a tsundere, this was the first time Su Chen found out.

"Brother, don't be nervous, I bet with my classmates that YM will win the championship!" Su Yuan said confidently.

"That's what I said, if we don't win the championship, I'm afraid you will deny me as a brother." Su Chen joked.

"Then how could it be? Brother, you are so strong. I haven't seen you lose since you started playing professionally. I believe you will definitely do it." Su Yuan said firmly.

Hearing what his younger brother said, Su Chen also felt a little bit emotional.

After this year's hard work, he has indeed achieved his own prestige.

In the eyes of those who support him, Jiang Keda, the ID of JKD will not lose.

After exhorting his younger brother, Su Chen hung up the phone, then clicked on WeChat and dialed the video.

After dialing for more than ten seconds, the video was finally connected.

The long-legged girl in dinosaur pajamas and huge black-rimmed glasses waved at the camera.

"You haven't slept yet." Lin Chu pushed his glasses, looking a little tired.

Since last week, she has taken over the company's new project, and the pressure has suddenly increased a lot.

Although Chixing's studio also prohibits overtime, she still works at home in private.

The time when Su Chen finishes training every day is almost when she finishes her work.

It has gradually become a habit for two people to chat before going to bed.

"Tomorrow is the final, you won't forget." Su Chen joked.

"Sorry, I've been busy all day today, and I didn't pay attention to the time." Lin Chu narrowed his eyes and yawned, and looked at Su Chen on the screen with his knees folded. "I wanted to call you during the day, but I'm afraid you're busy."

"How are you getting ready?"

"I've done everything that needs to be done, and the rest is to watch the impromptu performance." Su Chen took the mobile phone, came to the bed from the sofa, and turned on only one lamp in front of the bed.

The whole room suddenly darkened.

The two chatted about their daily life. Lin Chu beamed and talked about her new project, and then asked if it was fun in Incheon. After hearing Su Chen tell some interesting things about the past few days, she giggled again.

"Let me figure it out, it's been a month since you went to Korea, time flies so fast." She said with emotion.

Su Chen's heart skipped a beat, and he almost blurted out "I miss you" subconsciously, but reason still made him stop.

The relationship between the two people has always been separated by a piece of paper, but it seems that it hasn't reached the point where it can be broken.

In order to change the topic, he pretended to be calm and said: "It's a pity that you are not free recently. The organizer gave us a lot of tickets. If you are not busy, I really want to invite you to watch the game offline in Incheon."

Lin Chu in the video was obviously stunned for a moment, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "You concentrate on the game, I will definitely cheer for you."

"No matter what happens, I will always support you."

Let's talk, she took out a Q-version doll from the table, it looked exactly like Su Chen in the YM team uniform with sharp eyes.

Seeing her smiling and shaking the figurine in front of the camera, Su Chen also smiled in relief.

Everything depends on tomorrow.

……

November 11rd, near five o'clock in the afternoon.

Incheon Munhak Stadium is already crowded with people.

After a few days of renovation, a metal stage full of technological sense has been established on the original football field.

The vast screen covers the center of the stage in a ring shape, and the rubber runway outside the stadium is also divided into different viewing areas.

Although the temperature has dropped sharply in the past two days of the final, and there was even a light rain in the morning, it still did not stop the enthusiasm of the audience who came here to watch the game.

Many Chinese students studying in Seoul on weekdays also rushed to Incheon by subway on weekends. They brought the standard YM team flag and national flag, and some support items such as personal photos of the players and special light signs to the scene.

There are also many e-sports circles who rushed to Incheon from China.

In the anchor circle, the three brothers Yu Xiao C, Ba Ge, and Wang Wenjian had arrived in Incheon two days in advance, and specially rented a suite at the hotel where YM stayed, and had a little interaction with the players during the period.

Today, the three brothers also held the selfie sticks throughout the whole process, and the outdoor live broadcast was started a few hours before the start of the game.

"Brothers, there are still 10 minutes until the opening ceremony. Those who have to go to the bathroom and those who order takeaway should hurry up. I heard that this year's opening ceremony is very exciting, so don't miss it!" Emperor C said excitedly.

"That's right, the Korean women's team, you know everything, don't take your eyes off the screen." Wang Wenjian also winked and said.

The Ba Ge next to him giggled and even made a few gestures to play tricks, which caused the barrage to be full of joy.

In the official circle of LPL, Xiran and Yu Shuang, the two big stars, are already in place, while the three brothers Guan Zeyuan, Wang Duoduo, and Ji Ji are already in place at the commentary booth.

In the live broadcast room of the domestic competition, Wawa, Miller, and Xiaosan have been warming up since four o'clock.

In order to enhance the atmosphere, the director also specially cut some LPL S game performances over the years.

Royal Family, OMG, EDG, the faces of many retired veteran players flashed before the camera...

"The happiest thing for me this year is that I can talk about LPL in the finals openly," Miller joked. "A few years ago, I didn't really want to comment on the finals. I feel that winning or losing has nothing to do with us."

"Yeah," Wawa also smiled, "If YM hadn't made it to the finals, I guess many people wouldn't have watched today's game at all."

"No matter what the result is, at least now we can firmly say that if we win three games, we are the champions!!" Miller roared loudly.

"The first LPL championship is today!!" Wow clenched her fists and shouted excitedly.

Under the call of the two, the colorful "Just today!" barrage quickly covered the entire screen.

The director also switched the camera to the scene.

Guan Zeyuan, Ji Ji, and Wang Duoduo stood in the commentary booth, chatting about today's game, and in the small shot below the three of them, the time was counting down.

When the countdown enters 1 minute.

A burst of applause suddenly erupted from the entire scene, Guan Zeyuan immediately stopped speaking, and directed everyone's attention to the stage.

A group of people in black uniforms stepped onto the stage, stood in front of huge drums, waved the sticks in their hands, and hit the drums vigorously.

The deep drums gradually sounded from all around the stage, and then joined together.

As the time counted down, the drums became louder and louder, and drones suspended in mid-air projected the excited fans of the audience on the huge waterfall-like screen.

Enter the 10 stage in the countdown.

In the live broadcast screen, a gorgeous CG screen appeared.

In front of the number "8" like a portal of future technology, a model of Kai'Sa, Daughter of the Void, appeared.

After the number switched to "7", her model suddenly changed, becoming a hot girl with a strong figure and fashionable clothes.

Akali, the widow, and the nine-tailed demon fox who appeared later also have the same image.

Audiences who have watched the introduction of the opening ceremony also know that this is a special warm-up for the new KDA girl group skin released by LOL.

After the countdown ended, the red fist shattered the screen.

The live broadcast screen switched to the scene.

Korean hip-hop style BGM sounded on the stage.

The CG images of Kai'Sa, Widow, Akali, and Ahri wearing KDA's skin walked towards the camera like real people, and then stood still and posed in a girl group-style pose.

In front of the screen, the LSPs who were casually ordering takeaway with their mobile phones, immediately cheered up when they saw this scene.

After the KDA girl group finished their poses, the real protagonist of the opening ceremony, the real version of the KDA girl group, also followed on the stage.

Wearing a purple jacket and black tight skirt, Tian Xiaojuan, the leader of the Korean girl group (G)I-DLE, took the lead, twisting her body to the music, and walking like a cat.

Kai'Sa beside her danced along with her.

Then there were two European and American female singers, and another Korean girl group singer.

The CG characters and the female singers stand side by side, intertwined in the emotional music, and the number of bullet screens in the live broadcast room surges.

"It feels like a loss, brothers, we won't be able to see the CG at the scene, and you guys have made a lot of money." Yu Xiaoc, who was in the audience, teased deliberately.

After the KDA girl group exited, it was followed by the live performance of the S8 theme song "Rise".

The Glitch Mob group, dressed in a rock style, played familiar music live, and the director specially gave a close-up of the summoner trophy in the center of the group.

When the music played to its climax, the white mist on the stage surged like a fountain, and the huge lifting platform made bursts of sound.

The six YM starters in black uniforms, and the six KT players in blue and white uniforms slowly appeared in front of the camera, causing cheers like a tsunami to erupt from the scene.

"YM!! YM!!"

"KT!!"

On the huge screen in the center of the stage, Su Chen looked at the camera, put his index finger to his mouth, with a cold expression, and behind him was the flag of a three-masted sailing ship fluttering in the wind.

Xiao Guan put her hands in her pockets, facing the camera sideways, raised her chin, and raised the corners of her mouth.

Knight held his right hand behind his back, and put his left hand in front of his body, and directly performed Wing Chun Ye Man's starting gesture.

Gala crossed her arms across her chest, likening a two-pistol pose.

Zhang Xiaowen held out a sniper rifle with both hands.

And Bovy waved his hands towards the camera.

The ever-changing lights and shadows on the screen were projected on them, which made people's hearts surge.

"Wow! It feels like YM and the others designed the opening action today, it's a bit of an inside taste." Guan Zeyuan laughed.

"Yes! KT is going to be a lot more subtle here, and it feels like YM has the upper hand in terms of momentum at the beginning!" Remember said.

"Ten years of sharpening the sword, the frost blade has not been wiped, who is unfair to show the king today! I believe that YM will have a satisfactory result today!" Wang Duoduo also said.

After the players on the field took their positions, the music of "Rise" also came to an end.

The host in a beige suit, Roaring Emperor, stepped onto the stage and gave a passionate opening speech.

"LoL Summoners all over the world, this is the final stop of the 2018 League of Legends Global Finals, Incheon!"

"The last two teams standing here to compete for the Summoner's Trophy are, Young~~~~ MiraCle!!!"

"And, KT~~~~Rolster!!!"

After Roaring Emperor introduced the two teams with an oxygen-stopping commentary, the big screen at the scene also entered the final promotional video.

The cityscape of Incheon flashes along with the voice of the commentary, and the picture finally freezes in the temple in the mountains.

The white canvas dances with the wind, and the colorful lanterns sway in the corner.

The contestants walked through every corner of the temple, telling their hearts.

"Since the S game was held, people have always been asking when will LPL win an S game championship? Will there really be a day to win the championship? My answer is, it is today."

"Since I decided to become a professional gamer, I have always told myself, Hekui (Deft), if you really put in all your efforts, then don't have any doubts, what you desire will come true one day , After defeating RNG to advance to the finals, I think the time is ripe, and it’s time to take this final step.”

"The day I came to Busan, I promised myself that I would become the first LPL jungler to win the S Championship. Today, I want to do all this. I want the world to remember my name, YM ,sky."

"I will never forget the scene of winning the championship in Seoul four years ago. After confirming the promotion this year, I reached a consensus with Shiheng (Mata) and Qinghuan (Marin). This will be the last stage of our three careers. Dance, so, I hope there will be a happy ending."

During the transition of the camera, the players of KT and YM flashed past.

The last scene is the Roaring Emperor climbing the stone steps with a lantern.

"Every year's final is the most exciting moment. From Busan to Gwangju, and then to Incheon, the team that can make it to the final is not only the strongest, but also the team most eager for the Summoner Trophy. "

"Looking at KT's roster, Marin, Pawn, Mata...these are all names that are destined to go down in the history books. They gathered together this year and want to regain their former glory. This determination is their best weapon. "

"The miraculous journey of YM's teenagers continues. JKD, carrying the team and the expectations of the entire LPL, has come to the ultimate stage in Incheon. He is only one step away from becoming the best top laner in history. Marin in front of him will be his last test."

"Whether it's veterans reshaping their glory and achieving immortality, or the miraculous boys climbing all the way to reach the pinnacle."

"Each ending is shocking enough."

"So, don't miss a second, let us witness together, this is the last battle of 2018!"

As the roaring emperor's voice fell, the camera switched to the scene.

Ten contestants are seated in seats on either side of the stage.

The championship battle of the 2018 Global Finals has begun!
