“Berlin，put your hands together，for Bad Boys Gaming!”

With the passionate shouts of the host, all the audience applauded and cheered, welcoming the appearance of the BBG team, the winner of the previous championship.

At 2 p.m. Berlin time, countless summoners were waiting for the opening match of the Season 9 World Finals. In the group stage, it was the second seed FCN in Europe against the South Korean overlord T1, but it was the BBG team that took the lead.

Because this is a traditional ceremony for the World Finals, the summoner trophy is returned by the previous champions before the start of the group stage.

In the warm applause, Song Yijing, who was holding the trophy, took the lead in walking out of the backstage, followed by Yu Wenbo, Lan Tianbao, Guan Zhinai, Jiang Xiji, and Du Gongjue also walked out in turn.

The summoner's cup, which was close to half a person high, was heavy, and Song Yijing carefully placed him on the real display pillar of the stage.

The trophy will be in place, and every match of the World Finals will be played in the presence of the Summoner Trophy. Every player in the arena can see the trophy as long as they look up, and although it is close at hand, only one of the sixteen teams can take it away after the competition.

Three of the BBG six stood on either side of the trophy, waiting for the photographer to take a picture.

Under the call of the handsome German host, the audience once again applauded the BBG team. At the end of the shooting, the six people bowed to the audience in unison, turned around and left the stage amid applause.

Song Yijing reluctantly took one last look at the dazzling summoner's cup, and the scene of holding the cup that day seemed to be just yesterday. No one knows better than him how much this trophy weighs, and it took Song Yijing five years to win this trophy since S4's debut in the LCK.

Now in his sixth year of career, his hunger for the trophy has never diminished, and he wants to lift it again.

Because only last year's champion squad was needed to return the trophy, only Yan Letian remained in the lounge among the seven team members. Yan Letian watched the live broadcast of the game, and the highlights of the previous champions were playing on the screen.

S1 FCN in Europe, S2 Assassination in Taiwan, S3 T1 in South Korea, S4 South Korea in Death White, S5 is T1 again, S6 is still T1, and S7 is a new generation of Death Stars after the merger of the blue and white teams. And last year's S8. screen appeared familiar faces of Song Yijing, Yu Wenbo and others.

Because there were not many teams participating in the S1 and S2 periods, and the league was still in a state of exploration, it was also called the ancient era. From S3 onwards, the league's influence gradually expanded, and during this period, the LCK won five consecutive championships. Among them, three are T1 and two are mourning stars. The BBG team's championship was the first time that the LCK's championship monopoly was ended since ancient times.

The significance of this end was far-reaching, and the visceral fears of the LCK in the major regions were finally dispelled. It also directly led to the strength of the FCN team plummeting this year, because their original mid-laner caps were poached by the J2 team to form a galaxy battleship.

However, even more unlucky, they were also placed in Group C of the Group of Death, and the opening game was against T1 who returned the king.

"Did you hit it? Did you hit it? Yu Wenbo rushed into the team lounge with an arrow, and as soon as he came down from the stage to return the trophy, he couldn't wait to run back.

BBG's match against BHQ is the third of the day, but Group C is widely regarded as the highest level of the group, and this first opener will be watched by all the major teams to see what is going on.

"Just finished BP, it's weird, Ou Chen didn't play ADC, they chose Galen and the cat on the next road, and Ou Chen played Galen." Yan Letian pulled out a chair and asked Yu Wenbo to sit down together.

Ou Chen is the soul of FCN, and has been FCN's leader Adc since S2, and is known as a European high school because of his solid basic skills. Gao Xuechen is the originator of Adc in ancient times, and a professional player who has played a role in the positioning and playing style of Adc.

Liu Demon also sat next to Yan Letian and watched the game, in the group stage, the most important thing is to find the version of meta, which is also the biggest responsibility of the coach.

While each team has a different understanding of meta, a strong team like T1 tends to find the optimal solution, so each team will study their game carefully.

And FCN's S9 match against T1 has already shown the two teams' different understandings of the version.

FCN chose the unconventional bottom lane combination of the Gailunga cats, and the mid lane wild is the regular choice, the middle lane Ruize, the jungler Rexey, and the top laner captain.

SKT, on the other hand, also took an unusual path, and in the final lineup stage, the angels in the middle were replaced by the bottom lane.

"What does this mean, is Brother Li a small cannon in the single?" Yu Wenbo saw T1 in the final stage and shook his hand, "It's the first time I'll see you on the next road." ”

The willow demon quickly recorded some points in the notebook in his hand. In this scene, it was obvious that both sides were testing, and neither wanted to expose their understanding too early.

For T1, it was their first appearance since a one-year absence from the World Championships. And in the first game of this appearance, Satan Li Chengqi lit up a small cannon in the single.

"Brother Li's small cannon shouldn't be a tribute to the push stick of S7, right?" Hearing the ridicule of the commentator Xixi, Yan Letian and Yu Wenbo both smiled.

In the opening match on the first day, it was a very popular T1 team again, and the official commentary on the LCC side naturally arranged the fat and thin head combination.

In the year of S7, Satan Li Chengqi hated the runner-up and failed to complete the three-year championship, and the culprit was his teammate's small cannon. At that time, T1's Adc Xiao Pei saved the life with a small cannon in the finals, and liked to mention the nickname "Tui Tui Bang".

"Hey, hey, the first-level regiment here has invaded the red!" As soon as the commentator Sicy finished teasing, the two sides were already fighting with the blue and red buffs.

"Oh, Brother Li's blood!" Yan Letian patted his thigh excitedly.

Yu Wenbo squinted at Yan Letian, "Brother Li, why are you slapping my thigh!" ”

The first drop of blood in the main match of the World Finals in Season 9 was won by Li Chengqian.

As soon as Satan returned to hell, he immediately revealed the true nature of the demon king.

The willow demon recorded something in the notebook again, the first-level regiment of T1 was designed, and this blood was not accidental.

"T1 seems to be really prepared!" The willow demon sighed silently in his heart, from the position of the first-level regiment and the details of the anti-red, it can be seen that the strength of this T1 is the top in the world. In contrast, BBG's style of play has been rough since S8.

After the blood broke out, Song Yijing, Jiang Xiyi and others also came in, and all the team members gathered around to watch the opening battle.

Thirty minutes later, T1 unexpectedly won the opener.

"Wow, Brother Li is a little fierce!" Yu Wenbo gasped and glanced at Song Yijing, Li Chengqi's mid-laner Mailin gunner 9-0-8, if nothing else, it must be the MVP of this game.

Song Yijing looked at Li Chengqi who was smiling on the picture at the end of the game, and her eyes flashed with a complicated light.

At last year's World Championships, T1, which was in the rebuilding period, failed to qualify for the World Championships, and Song Yijing abused all the major and middle singles he played.

It's not a trophy taken from Satan, after all, it's a fly in the ointment!

"Okay, let's go and prepare for the next game, and we'll watch the next game when we get back in the evening. There should be no suspense for TGH to play the Rockets. The willow demon clapped his hands and shouted to the team members who were gathered around.

The second game is that the second seed TGH on the LCC side played the North American third seed Rockets, the strength of the Rockets is very weak, and TGH is a team in the same division, and BBG is already familiar with it. The BBG game was the third game after that, so Liu Youyou arranged for the team to do pre-game preparation training, and she herself sorted out the new gains she had just gained in her notebook.

In fact, the opening match between FCN and T1 was not very good-looking, and the two sides had very few battles, and they were very solid. T1 was even more stable, and after several waves of early small groups gained an advantage, they snowballed very disciplined and won the game steadily.

But in this very dull game, the willow demon still saw some clues. Even in the case of the poor cooperation of the Galen cat in the lower lane of the FCN, Ou Chen's Galen also made a mistake of killing the wrong person with a big move, but the later waves of team battles FCN almost won. The Willow Demon circled Galen in her notebook, and she already had a clear insight into the power of this unconventional bottom lane combination.

As for T1, the willow demon is even more surprised, this T1 who has only decided on the starting lineup this year is terrifying.

This demon king is not only powerful, but also surprisingly cautious.

The Willow Demon wrote T1 heavily in his notebook, but now is not the time to care about the Demon King, because there are imps to deal with right now.

On the live screen, the second game of TGH vs. Rockets has already started BP, and the next game is the turn of BBG vs. BHQ.

The last duel with BHQ dates back to S5, and it's like water!
