Chapter 597: Finals (1)
The finals are more interesting than all the previous games.
The strongest team in the LCK, against the strongest team in the LPL. Who is the real world number one team, we will be able to find out today!
Of course, there is also a very crucial pre-game warm-up for this esports event, just like the annual championship game of Major League Football will also have a Super Bowl.
The best stage setup, the best cosplay group, and the most popular singer sang the theme song "Hero" of this year's S competition.
Awakening twists his neck backstage to keep his body in the best possible condition. Before the game, he used to play two ranked and three custom hot hands, and now he feels very good.
The host's melodious and loud voice came from the stage in front: "Next, let's invite the team from the LPL division - ME team with the warmest applause!" ”
The audience cheered enthusiastically, and Su Xing took a deep breath and whispered to himself, "Here we go." ”
Brother An wore a crisp suit and led the team to the final stage.
On the huge and ornate stage, a 3D projection of a giant dragon spews flames, followed by flamethrowers on the sidelines of the field also spew towering pillars of fire.
"Ahh!!!!!h
In the arena of 100,000 people, cheers and shouts became the only ones, cheering everyone up, and no other sound could be heard.
The host introduced the names of the coaches and each player one by one, and they became the brightest stars in the spotlight.
"Next, they will face the team from the LCK region that has the most S-Series championship trophies in history - SKG !!"
There were also cheers and shouts from under the stage, but much smaller than ME. After all, this is the home of the LPL, and the people who cheer for SKG are some foreign SKG fans.
They couldn't help but look at their opponents, and next to them, six SKG players also looked over.
When I stand on a stage, I find that they look so ordinary and even inconspicuous.
"I used to watch them play through live broadcasts, but now that I'm so close to them, it turns out that they all carry two shoulders and one head. Nothing special! Kuang Di said with a smile.
Awakening's gaze fell on SKG's champion mid laner Lancer, a somewhat slender man with supreme arrogance in his eyes, as if all opponents were clouds in his eyes.
"There has never been a myth, and there is no eternal king. People are just used to touting a god. However, the next gods will be you and me. Su Xing said lightly.
After the host introduced the players, he said: "In the end, it is from the ME team, and the strong ME who has been reborn in Nirvana can defend the last line of defense in the LPL today and win the first championship trophy in the LPL region." Or SKG will defend the title of the first division of the LCK, the defending champion, please wait and see! ”
After the debut, the players on both sides went back to prepare for the next game.
"The first one, if I'm not mistaken, will still be Mercy as the starter." Su Xing took out the big L keyboard he had used for more than half a year in the background, and before the game, he had already wiped the keyboard clean himself.
"After all, BEN has not made many appearances this year, and it is not clear whether his playing style and hero pool have changed."
Brother An held the notebook in his hand, "So, no matter how the lineup changes, their style of play is certain." That is, more aggressive invasion and confrontation. ”
Su Xing shrugged his shoulders, "The style of play in the LCK division, no matter how fierce it is, is conservative in our opinion. So, let's deal with the traditional way of playing in the first game! BO5, I want to play slowly with them. Don't be in a hurry! ”
The two of them chatted casually, and everything they said was not improvised, but discussed before the game. Now double check to ensure that there is no problem with the whole BO5 idea.
Playing BO5 is the most difficult game in LOL. The maximum time required to play is five full games, which is close to five hours. It is a great test of the player's physical fitness, mentality and hero pool.
What's more important is the change of formation.
After winning the game, how to continue. After losing a game, how to quickly change the style of play and respond. It is also necessary to consider how the other party will change the formation, and then make corresponding responses.
It's like rock-paper-scissors, you always have to guess what the other person thinks, and you have to guess how the other person will respond after guessing your idea.
It's a problem that never has an optimal solution, and it just depends on who performs better on the spot. And sometimes, you need to have some good luck.
The contestants came to the stage to start debugging the equipment, and the VCR recorded before the competition was already playing on the big screen of the stage. And the protagonists in the video are undoubtedly from the captains and cores of the two teams - Natural Awakening and Lancer Choi Ming-cheol.
At the bottom of the screen is the question: "How can I see today's opponent and match?" ”
Lancer: "Team ME is really good, it's the strongest LPL team we've seen in years. But in the S race, we never lost to BO5, and today was the same. Player's Message...... The Naturals are doing very well in the Worlds, and they can probably be called geniuses! But I've been playing for so many years, and I've met countless players who are called geniuses. And now I'm still standing here, but they're all gone. ”
The domineering declaration told everyone, the iron-clad SKG, the other teams of the flowing water. However, he does have the qualifications to say such things, his debut is the peak, leading the team to win three S championships, two FMVPs, and deserves to be the first person in the world.
And the video turned to Awakening, and he just smiled slightly after seeing the problem, "Lancer has become a legend of LOL, which is worthy of admiration." But," he said, glancing deeply at the camera, "he's old after all." The era of belonging to SKG has also passed. ”
Compared to Lancer, Awakening's speech was very brief, but full of aggression.
He is already old, and if he dares to say such words on the stage of the World Championship, he is undoubtedly declaring war. You know, Lancer has a terrifying number of fans around the world. As soon as these words come out, if SKG can't be defeated today, it will definitely be sprayed to death. However, Awakening dared to say this, which came from his self-confidence.
On the commentary platform, Lao Chang let out a "wow", "The dialogue before the game was full of gunpowder." One is the king who has lived on the throne for a long time, and the other is a challenger who wants to replace him. Whether it is the king Hengqiang, or the new king stepping on the body of the old king to ascend the throne, we are really looking forward to the next game! ”
In the first game, SKG's starting jungler was still Mercy. As a top jungler who has never been out of the top ten on the Hanbok Rank list, his operation and awareness are top-notch.
And the lineup on the ME side remains the same, and it is still the starting five tigers. Su Xing sat in the upper unit, took off his cherished mandarin duck ring and put it on his left hand, and then gently massaged the joints of his fingers, waiting for the game to begin.
