In the YM Team Lounge.

The contestants have finished their makeup and are waiting for the staff's entry tips.

"Get the tactics right, and we'll win the final," White Crescent said before taking the stage, "and don't think about what you don't have." ”

His last words were directed at the prophets.

"Hmm." The prophet nodded in response.

Vincent knocked on the door and told them to wait in the aisle outside.

There was still a long distance from the stage, and Lin Ran and the others could hear the cheers of the tsunami at the scene.

"The esports atmosphere here is really good," Vincent said as he walked, "and the finals were full an hour early, and I've never seen such an enthusiastic audience." ”

Lin Ran could see through the giant screen at the scene that tens of thousands of spectators in the stands were playing with people, and the scene was spectacular and shocking.

"Indeed, the audience of last year's finals was not so exaggerated, right?" Lin Ran muttered.

If there were Brazilians in the final between SKT and YM, he could understand that.

But it was a matchup between two East Asian teams, and the Brazilians were just as enthusiastic as they could be surprising.

"It's just that LOL professional esports here started too late," Vincent, who is still a bit sorry for Riot staff, "If I had started planning a few years earlier, this year would have been even bigger." ”

"It's already good," the white crescent moon, who is an ancient professional player, looked at the enthusiastic crowd around the stands, and couldn't help but recall the past, "Think about where we used to find this kind of stadium to hold your games at that time?" ”

"There are more staff than spectators in the dimly lit venue, there are not a few people in the live broadcast room of the event, the commentators are a......mateurs, and the players are also amateurs," Bai Crescent looked at the SKT and YM team flags all over the stands outside, and was full of emotion, "At that time, there was a 20-something professional champion who played dungeon in the team next door and came over to play LOL professional, can you believe it?" At that time, there was no comparison with the current formalized youth training model. ”

Lin Ran listened behind him as the white crescent moon and Vincent recalled the hard days of the year, staring at the center of the stage with eager eyes.

The stage was pitch black, with only a beam of light hitting the trophy stand, where the MSI Championship Trophy lay quietly, emitting a dazzling light.

The trophy is a key link on his path to a Grand Slam.

If you miss it, you'll have to wait another year.

Lin Ran didn't want to wait.

He still remembered what Su Cheng said after his victory in the opener.

You have to cherish your talents.

Lin Ran did this, and he thought so, he was determined to win the championship of all events at the peak of his strength.

"Go on stage and follow the route of the rehearsal!" Vincent informed the YM crowd that Lin Ran and his teammates walked to the designated place along the dim place of the stage to take their places.

With the end of the 10-second countdown on the scene, the stage performance officially began.

The spotlights above the stage suddenly turned on and focused on the corner of one side of the stage.

Ember sits in front of the piano with a distinctive mask and taps his fingers into a moving note.

The big screen behind him flickered quickly.

YM vs. G2 and SKT vs. Lightning Wolves in the two semi-finals of the kills and team battles quickly switched, and one crystal after another was destroyed by the two teams.

As Ember strikes out a restless note, the background music switches violently, and the big screen image changes with it.

The SKT crowd in the picture lifted the S6MSI trophy amid the streamers in the sky and the cheers of the audience.

The sound of Ember playing the piano became more and more rapid, and the background music became more and more intense.

As SKT lifted the championship trophy, a black-red light shot out diagonally, smashing the entire screen!

The big screen deliberately made fragmented special effects, and then the two balls of energy were separated from the left and right of the stage.

On the left is a flame of red, and on the right is an inky black!

Ember stood up from the piano and left the table, with one hand behind his back and the other slightly bent in front of him, bowing to the audience.

The spotlight above him dimmed until darkness completely engulfed Ember's figure.

After a few moments, the spotlight fell again, focusing on the center of the stage!

The local Portuguese presenter has his palm stretched out to the right, and the sound of his tongue was transmitted to every corner of the stadium with the help of a microphone!

"First of all, let's welcome YoungMiracles, who came to compete for the MSI trophy as the champion of the S6 World Championship!"

"First of all, welcome to their head coach, Crescent!"

The light fell on the side on the right that was occupied by black energy, and the figure of the white crescent moon appeared in the spotlight, he was dressed in a suit and had a serious face.

The audience applauded and cheered very cooperatively!

Then the host introduced the YM team members in turn.

After the spotlight fell on the garlic king, the scene was silent for a moment.

"Next, let's welcome the representative of the new era of mid-laner - Ran!"

The sound of the tongue was deliberately lengthened, and the cheers on the scene broke out instantly, Lin Ran's ears were blocked with all kinds of noise, he waved in all directions, and the applause in the stands rose again!

Lin Ran closed his eyes slightly and raised his head.

Since his debut, he has gradually enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by crowds of cheers.

After introducing the YM crowd, the Portuguese presenter paused.

The black energy on the right side of the stage has disappeared with the appearance of YM, but the red energy on the left side is still burning like a flame.

"Next, let's welcome SKTelecomT1, who has been on the MSI finals stage for three consecutive years and won the 2016 MSI championship!"

The sudden burst of cheers and applause at the scene even overpowered the host's voice.

With countless domestic leagues and world championship trophies, SKT is like a king on top!

Faker, in particular, cheered a few points higher when the flashing lights above his head shone on him than when he greeted Lin Ran.

Despite the defeat of S6, the brilliant results since his debut have made him firmly sit on the title of the current number one in the league, and the number of passers-by around the world is extremely exaggerated.

Today's commentary is still Doll, Miller and Remember, the three of them are commentators with good word-of-mouth reviews, and when they are matched, they are the top names in LPL commentary.

"Welcome to the 2017 MSI Finals!" The doll gives full play to her responsibilities and heats up the field first.

"It's late at night in China right now, but I believe there are still many, many viewers in front of the screen watching this much-anticipated final match," his voice was very powerful, "because there is our LPL team among them." ”

"That's right," I remember to pick up the topic on the side, "This is also the second time that LPL has entered the MSI finals stage in two years, the last time, EDG defeated SKT in five games, and this time it was changed to a younger and more energetic YM team to face the same opponent!" ”

"It's really hard-hitting SKT," Miller said, "and they've never missed the MSI finals so far, which is a terrible thing — it means they're still dominating the LCK region." ”

The three commentators communicated on stage, and in the players' seats, the players of YM and SKT were still typing and communicating in the chat channel.

【Hello，Ran】

Little Peanut greeted Lin Ran very lively.

After getting Lin Ran's response, he showed off the Chinese pinyin he had learned from Xiaotian.

【Ranniubiniubi】

Lin Ran recalled the last time Garlic King Ba taught Chinese to Little Peanut, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

【xiexie。 He typed in response.

"Jin Gong, don't you say a word to your own compatriots?" Lin Ran looked at the Xiba people.

Jin Gong was still closing his eyes just now, and when he heard Lin Ran's words, he realized that the other side was also his fellow countryman, and he seemed a little indifferent without saying a word.

So he also crackled and typed on the keyboard.

Little Peanut became very excited when he saw Jin Gong respond.

【nihao，shabigimgoon】

Jin Gong frowned, and his face leaned in front of the screen, exactly the same as Ke Jie's expression when he witnessed his opponent's slide (see picture).

After confirming it again, he was sure that Little Peanut was saying a dirty word.

"Assi......" Jin Gong angrily wanted to smash his keyboard.

In terms of seniority in South Korea, he Xiba is regarded as the predecessor of Little Peanut in terms of honor and time in the industry.

How could any junior talk to him like this?

Jin Gong brewed words, wanting to fight back.

Garlic Wang Ba originally drank ice water to cool down, but after seeing the "stupid golden tribute" sent by the little peanut, he laughed, and the ice water almost spilled on the keyboard.

Everyone in YM also laughed, and the referee behind him was also sent by LPL, and he also understood Xiao Peanut's pinyin attack, and for a while the team was full of happy air.

"The opposing team member is suspected of verbal attack, do you want to appeal?" The female referee pushed her hair behind her ears and asked, routinely enforcing the rules of the tournament, "If the penalty is severe, you can give the other party a fine and a summer ban." ”

One of the goals of Riot's alliance strategy is to tear down the stereotypical label of 'Internet addicted teenagers' in people's minds for esports professional players, and establish positive esports idols.

Therefore, whether it is a pre-match chat channel or a post-match public screen chat, abusive behavior is expressly prohibited.

As long as it is verified and verified, the ban + fine + public apology is absolutely not running, and Riot's control in this regard is quite strict.

"Don't don't don't ......" Xiao Tian noticed that things were going to get bigger, and hurriedly came out to play a round, "I taught Xiao Peanut, he doesn't know the true meaning of this word." ”

If his gaze could attack, Lin Ran believed that Jin Gong had already delayed the garlic king a thousand times.

Jin Gongguang attacked with his gaze and felt puzzled, and wanted to pinch Xiaotian's neck.

"Don't move, don't move...... Xiao Tian hurriedly shrunk his neck and turned on the defensive form, "I'll help you catch the finals, and you'll have your head for you!" ”

Jin Gong paused to think carefully about whether the deal was fair.

Without waiting for him to speak, Huni on the other end started the BP session with the permission of the referee.

"The first small game of the final has begun!" I remember hearing the BP voice sound, and I couldn't help but feel refreshed, "SKT Coin won the edge guess and has the priority to pick the side in 135 games, and they choose the blue side in this game!" ”

"SKT gave the first ban to Lulu, and YM banned Lucian!"

When kkoma showed the second ban position, the white crescent moon had a guess about the strategic main attack point of SKT's game.

"SKT immediately blocked Tamu, and YM blocked Kenan."

"SKT is exactly the same as G2 in the semi-finals, both adopt the Ban Man strategy against the Prophet!" I remember looking at the BP panel and feeling a little worried.

In the final ban of the first round, SKT gave the blind monk, while YM blocked the male gun.

"SKT picks Marzaha first," Miller began, "and the hero choice that can be supplemented will also work wonders against Galio who is still outside." ”

YM shows the Spider Queen and the Shadow of Steel.

"SKT's hands show Olaf and Ice! Little Peanut's Olaf has been at the top level since last year, and his proficiency is quite high! ”

The white crescent moon is caught in a choice.

There aren't many good bottom lane hero options left outside.

But in the first two hands, he gave today's strategic focus Xiaotian and Jin Gong to take the hero, and when it was his turn to go down, he could only choose one of the two.

"Can you take Bronn?" After thinking about it, the white crescent moon knew that SKT would definitely target the lower lane, or that it was going to give the hero to the prophet with a shallow hero pool first.

"No problem." The soothsayer nodded.

Bronn is a more forgiving option for him, and the Prophet is ready to mix up the lane with Jack, and then wait for his teammates to take the tempo, and defend his teammates if necessary.

That's it.

At the start of the second round of BP, the two sides attacked the two positions that the other had not yet revealed, SKT banned Verus and the Spear of Vengeance, and YM blocked the Titan and Sindra.

"Neither side has chosen Galio, the favourite in the semi-finals, so far, what is the reason for that?"

The doll knew that her game understanding couldn't catch up with the two partners next to her, so she simply became a compliment.

"Because SKT has already selected Marzaha, who is swinging in the middle of the game, SKT will not let the opponent know about Marzaha's final split until the second round."

Miller was the first to respond, and the memory on the side also took over in time.

"And the reason on YM's side is very simple, as long as they are on the red side, the last choice is basically for Ran to find a restraint relationship to open up the situation, and naturally Galio will not be chosen first."

The YM crowd on stage is still discussing the selection of heroes for the second round.

"Ezreal, Ember, and Big Mouth, you can choose one." The white crescent moon pressed the ballpoint pen again.

Jack glanced at the lineup, "I think EZ is better, EZ." ”

In terms of proficiency alone, his EZ is at the bottom of the three heroes, and Xiao Huang Mao is more functional than Ember, and he is not as good as Big Mouth in terms of output.

But Little Yellow Hair's escape ability and Ember and Big Mouth are not in the same dimension at all.

Jack's task in this wave of BO5 is simple, mix.

SKT's first game BP is very obviously centered around the bottom lane, he just needs to keep it and wait for the teamfight to make up for his teammates.

"SKT picked Shen and clockwork with a backhand, and Faker is doing the best for the team's late-game ability! Then Marzaha is going to swing to the auxiliary position. ”

Classic clockwork.

This is in Lin Ran's preparations.

That's what Faker is used to.

As soon as you see that there is no version that suits you and your team's system, the hero chooses a clockwork.

Anyway, this hero is a jack-of-all-trades, versatile lineup.

YM locked up his counter two seconds after Lee Sang-hyuk showed off his hero.

"Card Master! There are actually foxes out there that can be used! Miller frowned, "I can understand YM's idea, they want to play the sideband offense with Card Master and Camille. ”

"But huni chose Shen in this game, this hero's W sword formation is very restrained by the yellow card of the card, and even the stun effect will not occur when hit on it!"

Miller felt anxious for YM, and in his opinion, kkoma's hand to Huni perfectly restrained the single-belt system that YM wanted to execute in this game!

The domestic live broadcast room was overcrowded in the early hours of the morning, and the platform had to allocate more bandwidth resources to the event live broadcast room.

The midlaners of both sides made a battle book before the game, which attracted a lot of audiences, and with the reenactment of this S6 World Finals, many viewers stayed up late to watch this game.

Although YM won the head-to-head victory in last year's World Finals, most LPL viewers are still not optimistic about YM this year.

Last year's final score of 3:2 has proved that the two sides are close in strength, and SKT's reinforcement measures in the winter transfer period are considered by many people to be a big strengthening.

The aggressive Huni replaced the duke nicknamed Du Buchuan, and peanut butter, one of the pinnacles of carnivorous jungler, replaced the elderly stupid chicken, who mainly controlled the map and squatted.

Coupled with the fact that the original three SKT players retained the team's later operational strength, this SKT team is simply in perfect shape in the eyes of many passers-by.

The excellent form of SKT in the spring season is also a testament to their strength.

What about YM?

Although the team of four former champion members is retained, the support that has been replaced is obviously overwhelmed, and the advantage game is basically an invisible man, but the disadvantage game always sends him.

No matter how they think about it, they feel that YM's strength is declining.

As for the previous group stage results?

Can that count?

Many LPL viewers still remember that last year's MSI made it difficult to qualify for the fourth place in the SKT group, and then in the semi-finals, the group leader RNG who was in good form was directly killed.

Coupled with the Korean-phobia that has been buried deep in the hearts of old viewers since S3, although they support YM emotionally, most of them think that YM's hard power is not as good as SKT.

But there are always exceptions.

In the domestic fighting shark live broadcast room 13703, a pig's head appeared in the camera in the lower right corner of the picture.

If the mud starts broadcasting in the early morning, the name of the live broadcast room - May is no longer a classic! Watch the game for a while

Since he didn't have official permission, he could only watch the game by himself with a camera on a black screen, and by the way, he would comment.

The audience in the live broadcast room can only turn off the volume of the live broadcast room of the event, and then watch the live broadcast of the game in real time with the sound of the live broadcast room.

Even so, it still can't stop the nearly one million people in his live broadcast room, and the barrage is flying all over the screen.

Shanniruo glanced at the lineups of both sides.

Blue side SKT: Top Lane Caution, Jungler Olaf, Middle Clockwork, Bottom Lane Ice + Marzaha.

Red YM: Top laner Blue Steel Shadow, Jungler Spider Queen, Mid Lane Card Master, Bottom Lane Ezreal + Bron.

"Actually, to be honest...... "Shan Niruo thought about it carefully, "I think SKT's lineup is a little better in this game." ”

As soon as the barrage heard this, it immediately became energetic.

[Sure enough, the quiz on the fish balls is right! ] 】

[Brother Flame is really still concerned about his old teammates, SKT is your forever home! ] 】

[I think YM is difficult when I look at the lineup, the white crescent is a fool's criticism, can he fight over kkoma? ] Don't make me laugh. 】

[The fifth hand chooses a card and wants to catch the opposite side of Shen, I really want to die of laughter.] 】

Shan Niruo glanced at the barrage.

"I'm not done yet," he said, pinching the duck's throat, "and even though SKT has a good lineup, I still think YM can win this game." ”

After saying this, the barrage was full of question marks.

"I always think that Huni, this B, will do things," Shanniruo frowned, "He's unreliable, really, really." ”

"Everyone believe me, everyone believes me, this game of fish ball stud YM!" He hurriedly and loudly proposed before the Summoner's Rift appeared.

【？？？ Push yin and yang single, right? 】

[I'll just press SKT, it's impossible to lose this game!] 】

[Brother Flame changed his face fast enough, wasn't he still optimistic about his old club SKT in the finals last year? ] 】

If Shanni found this in the vast barrage, he immediately replied.

"Don't call it if you don't understand," he put on a posture of an old brother and shouted loudly, "This is the pure patriotic feelings of the older generation of e-sports people!" Ran is the pride of our Chinese, everyone should believe in him! ”

Accompanied by the full screen of question marks in the live broadcast room, on the big screen at the game site, the summoner's canyon has been loaded, and ten heroes have appeared in the spring!

Seeing this, the Brazilian audience immediately responded, and the huge stadium was filled with manic applause and screams!

Lin Ran bought the Corruption Potion and went out, then marked his position on the map.

"I've brought the scan, let's go back into the wild and grab Olaf's position!" Lin Ran was very decisive.

There are cards, Qinggang Shadow, and Bron, and this lineup is simply tyrannical if it doesn't invade!

He has tried the trick of going out and bringing a red scan home to change his yellow jewelry eyes, and if you want to say that KKOMA did not deal with this point before the game, Lin Ran does not believe it.

But even if SKT copes with this game, it won't work.

Olaf is a hero who basically farms the first 6 levels, and the best time to gank is also after clearing the first wave of six groups of monsters that have been refreshed and upgraded to level 4.

At this time, Lin Ran's yellow ornament eyes had already passed the cooldown time, and he was not afraid of the little peanut to catch it at all.

"Marzaha relied on his passivity, standing in a relatively high position, he had already seen the movement of the YM crowd, and he should be retreating."

Bang's cold ice shoots out W [Ten Thousand Arrows] to help Wolf retreat.

"YM still has to forcibly invade SKT's lower field area to reverse the red BUFF, but Little Peanut is Olaf, and it is reasonable for Lan Kai in the first half of the area, he can eat his own upper half of the area to upgrade to level 3 and then eat the YM red zone."

I have to say that kkoma's BP thinking is very clear, and the research on YM is also very thorough.

After he won the spider in YM, he immediately selected Olaf for Little Peanut, whether it was a heads-up stand in the wild area or a mid-to-upper anti-squat collision, Olaf was not a spider.

And after Qinggang Shadow has been weakened repeatedly, the ability to deal with this kind of warrior in the early stage is not so strong.

In the case of grabbing the second without rubbing the experience of the eye position, Jin Gong can't take advantage of huni - after all, not everyone is a G2 top order, and the huni is loaded at this time, but the ability to line is still online.

Little Peanut quickly planned the farming route for the early change of the wild area, and honestly prepared to brush out all the wild monsters in the upper half of his house.

"Little Peanut uses the fastest three method," the doll saw that the pilot camera kept on Little Peanut.

"He opened the blue alone, hit it halfway and then pulled it towards the Demon Swamp Frog, and was attacked by two monsters at the same time, using the characteristics of less passive blood and faster attack speed to quickly clean up the wild area."

Little Peanut is still watching the line while brushing the field, which is his excellent quality as a jungler.

The jungler who can look at the lane is not necessarily very strong, but the jungler level who does not look at the lane is definitely very poor.

Huni, who was on the road, used the hero traits to grab some lane advantages in the early stage, and it seems that there is no big problem in grabbing the second and continuing to push the lane.

The line in the middle is still in the center, and if there is no major problem, it will not lose the right to the line.

Little Peanut can be brushed with confidence, ready to drill the upper half of the YM field later.

"Xiaotian, you will come back after reversing the red BUFF, and Olaf will definitely enter our wild area." Lin Ran is quite determined.

Why did Olaf go from being a jungler in the S6 finals to a second-rate jungler in the S7 spring without being nerfed.

It's because the creep refresh rate has been increased from 100 seconds to 150 seconds, and the current jungle area is not enough for Olaf to farm a fast wild hero.

As mentioned earlier, in this case, the game of the early jungle becomes very important.

Because the loser of the jungle defense has to wait an extra 50 seconds for the next group of monsters to refresh, the winner can eat all the monsters to open up the experience gap in advance.

In Lin Ran's opinion, Little Peanut's Olaf will definitely not let the wild monsters invade the wilderness area.

Therefore, he intends to let Xiao Tian force back to defend.

At the same time, Lin Ran was still dealing with faker in the middle lane.

Cards with average combat ability in the lane prefer to match heroes like clockwork, and although they can't win the fight, there is no problem with pushing the line development.

In two minutes and 35 seconds, Little Peanut brushed off the top half of his home and successfully achieved speed.

Take another look at the lane.

Huni, who was on the road, had already pressed the line of troops to the front of the Qinggang Shadow Tower, and the middle lane line was still in the center, and Little Peanut was relieved to go to the field.

"Little Peanut is ready to enter the upper half of YM's wild area, and he wants to replace YM's red BUFF!"

I remember glancing at the minimap, "Xiao Tian is still brushing the three wolves at this time, and the speed is a little slower!" ”

"Is it too late to get back to the wilderness?"

This can't be helped, Xiaotian is opposite to Hongkai, and then crosses the river to return to his own wild area, and walks a little more.

In addition, the spider's early farming speed will definitely not be able to catch up with Olaf, and it is natural that the speed will be slower.

The doll watched the little peanut cross the river and drill into the YM red zone, and couldn't help but exclaim.

"Little Peanut is really bold! Does he dare to go directly into the YM wild area with this amount of blood? ”

Little Peanut only has 260 blood left at this time, and he doesn't have much blood left in order to maximize the use of the passive attack speed bonus, but he also deliberately left a punishment in his hand for anti-BUFF.

But he still rushed into the YM red zone and saw the fresh red BUFF!

"Olaf is ready to start brushing the red BUFF, Xiaotian has already brushed to the third level at this time and rushed here!"

"What's going on in the middle lane?" The doll suddenly realized that something was wrong, "The card is also running to the jungle after reaching level 3!" ”

The third wave of artillery carriages reached the middle lane in 2 minutes and 38 seconds, and Lin Ran was promoted to level 3 after quickly clearing out the three melee soldiers, and ran towards the wild area without stopping!

In the voice of the SKT team, the sound of communication is non-stop.

"Cards disappear, cards disappear!" Lee Sang-hyuk gave the marker, and he ate the creep and also ascended 3 operation clockwork to follow.

"You are faster in the wilderness, he can't go alone, the spider should be there!"

At this time, the lower lane takes the lead in pushing the line to level 2, and the lower lane of SKT starts to do vision.

wolf entered the lower half of the YM, saw the blue buff and the three wolves all disappear, roughly guessed the early movement of the spider, and hurriedly communicated with the little peanut.

"The mid lane card has a speed rune, and it's very close to your own jungle, so you're about to reach the red zone!"

"The location of the clockwork is a little farther away from the YM jungle, and faker is also on his way, but he is still being pulled away by Card Master!"

"Hurry up and leave after stealing the red, he sprinted!" Lee Sang-hyuk saw the card master's feet rising step by step, and the movement speed increased again, widening the distance between the two, and hurriedly reminded!

"No problem, no problem...... Little Peanut swings his axe to slash the monster, and as his HP decreases, his attack speed becomes faster and faster.

Finally, he used punishment to eat the red buff before Lin Ran arrived!

Then immediately start sprinting and running around the wild area!

It's also a third-level sprint acceleration, and Lin Ran can't catch up with him, let alone the spider following behind!
