Chapter 604: Opening Battle Three Star White!
September 18, Taipei.
Lin Mu and others came to Taiwan on the other side of the strait two days in advance, and they were full of energy and radiant on the day of the competition.
The S4 finals were held in Asia and were held in four major cities.
Among them, the group stage alone is divided into two stages, namely Taipei and Singapore.
The first stop in Taipei will be the group stage of the two groups of AB, which will last for four days from today.
At 5 p.m., National Taiwan University Gymnasium.
With the passionate music and the noisy cheers of gongs and drums, the S4 finals kicked off.
According to the arrangement, the opening match will be played by two teams, RT and Samsung White.
Compared to last year, when TSM and the wild card were pecked at each other, this year's opening match is undoubtedly much more eye-catching.
In order to increase the highlights, the fist changed the previous practice of being unveiled by the host, and directly hit the king bomb as soon as it came up.
China and South Korea are the top two major regions in the world, and the two teams that opened today, one is China's top seed and the other is South Korea's second seed, which is almost the strongest collision that can be produced in the group stage.
As early as the moment this schedule was announced, countless people used "Mars collides with the earth" to describe their expectations for this opening game, which is many times higher than in the previous life.
After all, in the previous life, although it was also opened by the first seed of the LPL, not many people had confidence in EDG.
When RT took over as the top seed, that was all different.
"Welcome to the 2014 World Finals in Taipei, where we are now in the National Taiwan University Gymnasium, you can see that the scene has already been crowded, and the players of the RT and SS teams have also appeared on the big screen."
Five minutes before the start of the game, dolls and others appeared in front of the camera.
"Welcome to my hometown, this is the beautiful treasure island of Taiwan, I am Changmao, here I want to explain to you, originally standing here today should be Xiaoxiao, but because of his visa problems, I happened to be on vacation in Taiwan, so I was temporarily on top." Longhair has an innocent expression on his face, for fear of the cauldron of the dove occupying the magpie's nest on his back.
Since coming to LPL as a commentator, this guy has been sprayed a lot, whether it is his unique dialect tone or sleepy commentary rhythm and style, it is difficult to enter the eyes of mainland audiences.
Coincidentally, Sun Yalong's guy has won a lot of praise and reputation for himself in the past six months since he retired and moved to Qihuang as an OGN commentator, and he has a high voice in this S4 commentary. The main reason is the fiasco of the all-star game LPL, after realizing the gap, the OGN live channel where the gods fought instantly poured into a large number of viewers, especially the OGN Summer Finals held on Haeundae Beach a month ago.
To put it bluntly, the Qihuang commentary, led by Sun Yalong and Belasika, has faintly formed a trend of confrontation with the doll PLU people at this time, although it is a little niche because of the platform, but it is better than word of mouth.
With this move, Changmao is obviously very clear about his position in the minds of LPL audiences.
"RT's team members appeared on the big screen, Shimogi, Xiaoqi, seniors, UZI and wool, well, in addition to the starting five, they also brought Shanhe as a substitute, a total of six people played in S4." Xiao Cang MM read from the script.
"Yes, the game is about to start, so let's take a look at the support of both teams, wow, 97% vs. 3%...... Well, that's our domestic approval rating. "The doll is a little embarrassed, but this gap is a little too exaggerated.
If it is changed to another team, it will not be enough, but there is no way, who will let the team that will represent the LPL be RT.
"The support rate of RT on the Internet is also very high, accounting for more than sixty percent, and this number can also show that everyone is still more optimistic about RT." Long hair interjected in time, there is nothing when he usually explains LPL, and his value is reflected when he reaches this world stage, such as what translation and English work, he does it in one fell swoop.
Taiwan's English skills are far superior to those of the mainland, and this must be admitted.
"But the team of Samsung White can not be underestimated, although everyone has heard more about their brother team Samsung Blue, but Samsung White is also a very terrible opponent, their style of play is more aggressive, this time they came to S4 and crushed SKT 3-0, among which their mid-laner fat is a single kill Faker in every game, and the strength is extremely strong." Xiao Cang said what he saw.
Doll concluded: "In the analogy of the styles of these two teams, Samsung Blue is a solid and thick shield, while Samsung White is more like a sharp spear. ”
"Huh? Who's calling me? I thought you were calling me. Long Hair wanted to make everyone laugh, but his superficial tone and tone of speech really didn't match the funny, but would interrupt the train of thought of other explanations.
The atmosphere was a bit awkward.
Fortunately, with the sound of Jin Ge, the game screen appeared.
In the opener, RT is on the blue side.
Praying Mantis + Hammerstone / Ryze + Jace
The first two rounds of BAN people on both sides were mainly concentrated in the mid-laner position, with a total of three mid-laner heroes.
"At this time, RT must make a choice, whether to lose the bull's head or not!"
"Yes, as we all know, the bull head is the most buggy hero in the current version, and it is usually BAN from the purple side, but the first two hands of Samsung White BAN in this field are all mid laners, so the problem is left to RT."
"Look what Shimiki thinks."
On the main stage, all eyes were focused on Lin Mu in the center.
Everyone knows that RT's BP is made by this guy.
In the picture, Lin Mu's lips moved slightly, and the narrator shouted loudly.
"Let it go!"
"If it's released, then there is a good chance that there will be the ultimate showdown between the bull head and the big tree on this road!"
"That's going to be a good show!"
In fact, in the previous life, EDG made a big mistake in this game BP, first giving the BAN position to Yasuo and Cassadine, two uncritical heroes in the first two hands, and then conceded from the BAN bull head in the third hand, and finally although it successfully got the big tree, it did not reflect the advantage that the blue side should have in BP.
They took a big tree, but they got two OP points of Time and Mantis on the opposite side, and by the way, they also gave the third BAN position to the Wind Girl.
Limmu is not Abu and would not do such a stupid thing.
In the picture, there was not much hesitation, and Samsung Bai's last hand BAN dropped the bull's head.
In front of RT, they don't dare to make mistakes.
In this way, RT still got the big tree, and Samsung White won the Nakano combination of Prince + Time.
RT takes Lucian + Wind Girl, SS takes Rambo + Cannon.
One side left the last hand to Nakano, and the other side assisted Kante in a rare way.
Soon, the lineups of both sides were determined:
Blue side RT: Top Single Big Tree, Jungle Poodle, Middle Single Clockwork, Bottom Lucian + Wind Girl
Purple side SS: Top laner Rambo, Jungler Prince, Mid laner time, bottom lane cannon + Nami
