October 29.

Everyone at YM got up early in the morning and took a bus to the finals venue near noon.

Lin Ran wore headphones and looked through the glass window of the bus at the Staples Center, where the gray-white grand buildings sit quietly and the midday sun of Los Angeles pours down.

Outside the venue, many spectators were already waiting to enter, and they saw the YM bus whistling excitedly, and many people waved cheers with the YM logo in their hands.

Lin Ran and his teammates got out of the car with their backpacks accompanied by cheers, and led the way through the passage arranged by the staff.

"Stocking on the lane, fighting for lane rights in the mid lane, jungler invasion, you've all practiced countless times," Han Yi looked around in the spacious and bright team lounge, "I want to emphasize the bottom lane. ”

"Jack and Xiao Ming, the two of you don't push the line too deep without the support of your teammates, try not to fight against your opponents, and you can't go up after changing blood."

"In this BO5, the two of you are the most stressed." Han Yi's face was serious.

Jack and Xiao Ming nodded repeatedly.

This version of the bottom lane advantage is quite critical, second only to Nakano in importance, Han Yi is really forced to do this, because they are really inferior to their opponents in terms of hard power in the bottom lane.

Bang's strength peaked this year, and from the laning to the teamfight to the execution of decisions throughout the match, bang was flawless at every level of the professional ADC.

The average counterpoint economy per game is 2065, the average damage is 725, and you can deal 30.7% damage by eating only 22.8% of the team's economy, and the damage conversion rate is 167%...... Among these key data to measure ADC, bang is all at the top.

His current strength is comparable to that of the alpha dog in the Go world, and he is simply a humanoid machine.

Han Yi saw the nervous look on the faces of the lower lane players, and soothed his tone, "But don't be afraid, they are still the traditional Korean style of play, and the suppressive power of the lane is not very exaggerated, and they prefer to support teammates such as stable development of the lane." ”

"You just don't expose too many flaws and get taken advantage of," Han Yi emphasized, "Today's focus is on Nakano. ”

The analyst team repeated some of the key points of vision again, and it was only 3:30 p.m., a little time before the grand finals opened.

Lin Ran flipped through his mobile phone, which was full of unread messages from classmates and friends, he flipped up and down twice, but he didn't find the one from his father Lin Mingdong.

At this time, the official staff in the background notified the entrance, Lin Ran stuffed the mobile phone back into his backpack, rolled up the peripherals with a mouse pad, and walked out of the lounge behind Xiaotian.

The Staples Center, a well-known sports building in the Los Angeles area, has a capacity of 20,000 people, and the stadium is full of black and red team flags that symbolize YM and red flags that represent SKT flutter in the air.

Looking down from mid-air, the number of spectators supporting defending champions SKT was significantly superior.

Double champion SKT has accumulated a large number of die-hard viewers in the past few years, coupled with a large number of rational and analytical passers-by, who believe that SKT will lift their third championship trophy here today.

On the electronic screen above the center stage, the countdown to the opening of the final is displayed.

With the countdown of the audience unified, the entire arena fell into darkness.

Then the lights on the scene instantly lit up, and a huge Hextech treasure chest appeared in the center of the breakthrough, and then a key pierced into the treasure chest like a sharp sword!

Heroes such as the Spider Queen and the Ice Shooter all appear with the help of projection technology.

Finally, the DJ booth slowly rises to play the theme song of this year's World Championship, Ignite.

Under the restless and rhythmic electronic music, the promotional videos of the two teams in the finals were played on the big screen above the stage, which was mixed with the highlights of the two teams in this World Championship.

Jin Gong steals from the sword queen who is born from the dead, the ghostly spider queen of Xiao Tian's whereabouts, Lin Ran's card master who predicts the flash of killing Simon Little Fishman, JKL's soul harvester Delevingne, and Xiao Ming's lava hell cast with the fire man when he fights against Samsung......

After the trailer was played, the venue was once again plunged into darkness.

Suddenly, a beam of light hit the stage floor, and the light quickly spread around, and then the lights came on, and the members of the two teams lined up on both sides of the stage, and in the center of the stage, there was the summoner trophy that countless professional players had coveted!

The male host stood next to the summoner's trophy and introduced the two teams and members to the audience in English.

"First of all, let's welcome the No. 1 seed from the LPL region, the 2016 LPL Summer champion, YoungMiracles!"

The shouts and cheers at the Staples Center were majestic and powerful.

When Lin Ran was introduced, the cheers on the scene went up to a new level!

In the month-long World Competition, Lin Ran's strength is undoubted, the absolute world's top level, and now only the Demon King Faker is standing in front of him!

"Next," the male host turned up the volume, "Let's welcome the S3 and S5 two-time World Finals champions, 2016 MSI champions, SKTelecomT1 with warm applause!" ”

When faker was introduced, the cries in the arena reached its peak in an instant, almost breaking through the dome!

Lee Sang-hyuk's face was expressionless, and he put his hands in his pockets and began to pretend to be cool.

For him, who has entered the S competition three times, the final stage of the World Finals is not an uncommon thing.

The teammates changed one after another, and only he, Stupid Chicken and coach KKOMA were still standing on the stage.

He came to S6 with only one goal, and that was to win his third Summoner Trophy!

Three years ago, in S3, faker was also at the Staples Center, and his teammates lifted the first World Championship trophy in team history.

Three years later, still here, Lee Sang-hyuk is sure that this is the will of heaven and let him cast the Triple Crown!

……

After a week of brewing, the annual LOL summit showdown is coming again, and the LPL division has reached the finals again after two years, and the domestic attention has exploded.

The last time the LPL team entered the finals, the influence of e-sports in society was far less than now, and today, two years later, with Tengjing's continuous deepening of alliances, formalized e-sports competitions have gradually entered the public eye.

University dormitories, subway buses, Internet cafes...... Thousands of viewers opened the live broadcast room of the event, eagerly waiting for the official start of the competition!

At this time, it was seven o'clock in the morning in China, and Lin Mingdong was sitting in the back seat of the car, ready to rush to the airport.

He suddenly remembered something, and after turning on his phone, the pop-up window of the live broadcast software specially installed before displayed the slogan of the S6 finals.

Hung up the Bluetooth headset and clicked into the live broadcast room, Lin Mingdong happened to see Lin Ran smiling and waving to accept the loud cheers at the scene.

Lin Mingdong's fingers lightly touched his son on the screen, thoughts flew in his mind, and the corners of his usually serious mouth rose slightly.

The assistant in the front row was just about to turn around to deliver the documents, and raised his eyes to see the picture in Lin Mingdong's mobile phone. fate

"You also watch esports? I like YM's mid-laner, the technology is amazing...... "The assistant didn't expect the leader in his forties to watch e-sports, "Mr. Lin, who do you support?" ”

After asking this sentence, the rookie in the workplace, who had just graduated and joined the company for less than half a year, immediately shut up, and he realized that what he had just said was a bit out of bounds.

“…… YM。 Lin Mingdong took one last look at the screen and took it into his bag.

Staples Center.

The players of both sides put on headphones and sat on chairs to debug the equipment.

"Are you nervous?" Xiao Ming asked, chewing gum.

"I'm always nervous," JKL turned on the custom, frantically catching the axe with Draven, "I don't get feedback and my hands are shaking." ”

"Anyway, if I lose today, it's all Han Yi's back, and it has nothing to do with me Gao Tianliang," Garlic Wang Ba narrowed his eyes, "He guessed the coin and he meow lost." ”

"Why don't you always lose?" In the finals, Xiaotian was sure that Hanyi didn't dare to scold himself, and spoke presumptuously, "Can you make a difference, Hanyi?" ”

"Jin Gong, when the finals are over, Xiaotian's neck will be yours." Han Yi's face was expressionless.

"Ho ho ho ho ......" Hearing this, Jin Gong rubbed his hands and showed a fierce light on his face.

Maybe it was because of the hot and throbbing before the finals, Lin Ran felt a little hot in the team uniform jacket, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead.

He tugged at the collar and leaned over, brushing the hair from his forehead with both hands, straight to the back of his head, revealing his hairline, and wiping the sweat away.

Countless viewers at the scene and in front of the live broadcast room saw this scene through the big screen.

Without the cover of hair, Lin Ran's handsome facial features are completely displayed in front of the audience.

"Ran, handsome, handsome!"

"I envy this hairline to the point of drooling."

"Don't esports players stay up late? Can this hair be so thick? I'm afraid I don't wear a wig like Jay Chou, right? ”

"Jay Chou: Can you drive me by leaning on the waist?"

"Good morning to domestic audience friends, welcome to the final scene of the S6 World Finals, I am a doll."

"Hi everyone, I'm Miller."

Today's final commentary has the Haier brothers as usual, but the two of them can only enjoy half of the footage today, and the other half is blocked by a statue of Roshan.

"Hello everyone, I'm PDD." Chubby Dudu waved his hand to greet the domestic audience.

"PDD is our old friend, and he is also one of the bosses of YM," the doll saw that BP had not yet started, and was ready to warm up, "Let's interview you first, what is the mood of watching your players play offstage today?" ”

"I'm so happy," PDD laughed like a pot of greed in Yu-Gi-Oh, "I didn't expect them to get to where they are today." ”

"Four of the five starters are in their first year of professional play, and the average age of the team is 17," PDD recalled, "When I brought them in, they were all young hairy boys, and they were less than a year old, and their career achievements were higher than mine." ”

"Ran was the first one I was recruited onto, and I told him at the time," PDD said in a thick, nasal voice, with some emotion, "I want to win my first league title, my first international championship, and I want to etch the club's name in the history of League of Legends." ”

"It's only been a year, and we're about to do it."

Miller nodded, "Win or lose the final, this year has been a year full of miracles for YM, from the minor league to the triple jump all the way to the final stage of the World Finals, an unprecedented great performance. ”

"Now it's up to YM to see if the young men can continue their youthful miracle!" The doll shouted.

"YM Chong Chong!"

"If you lose, you don't lose money, you win with blood, and you're done!"

"If you are willing to dare to pull the emperor off the horse, it depends on whether YM can withstand it today!"

"Anyway, I won't be sprayed when I come back, and YM doesn't need to panic at this year's spicy dance of the back pot mountain."

Although most of the audience in the live broadcast room did not think that YM could win, they still sent their most sincere wishes to the YM players on the other side of the ocean.

"SKT won the coin guessing session and got the priority to pick sides in 135 games, while YM was 24 sets," the doll received the information provided by the director, "This is not good news, everyone knows that the BP advantage of the blue side in this version is too great." ”

At this time, the big screen of the venue entered the BP link, and the scene was full of tsunami, and the much-anticipated S6 finals kicked off!

"Sure enough, SKT chose the blue side, and the first ban was given to Zyra." The doll snorted.

"YM first ban to the leopard girl as usual," Miller frowned, "It looks like Nedri is going to sit firmly on the throne of S6100% BP rate." ”

SKT then blocked the spider, and YM could only choose to send Sindra to the ban position, from the hero strength to the version fit, Sindra, the woman who played with the ball, was firmly in the middle of the lane.

"The last ban, SKT gave Olaf!" Miller exclaimed, "This ban position is unexpected, Silly Chicken's previous Olaf performance was very good, they can obviously grab it?" ”

But YM on stage is still thinking about countermeasures, and SKT's last bans put them in a dilemma.

Han Yi originally planned to ban Victor with one last hand, but now Olaf, Leopard Girl, and Spider have all been sent to the ban position, and only a blind monk is left outside in the strong jungler.

If they don't ban, the stupid chicken will definitely rob it, and if they block the blind monk, then Victor will be released.

Han Yi was still hesitating.

"Let's put the blind monk, the strength of the excavator is low, but it can also fight." Xiao Tian took the initiative to speak, and after playing ROX, he is now very confident.

"How about we make the first big move?" Lin Ran proposed.

"Don't you hide a hand?" Xiao Ming asked.

"Could it be that you want to learn from those teams and hide their ultimate until next year?" Lin Ran laughed, "After losing the game and returning home, we said that it was useless for us to hide the big move, and we were invincible in an instant?" ”

"How many teams have you opened this time?" JKL's hands trembled.

"If we lose, we will have the bottom in our hearts, but the hard power can't beat others; If you win, SKT will face a problem, and it will not be a loss. ”

Lin Ran analyzed.
