It's three o'clock in the afternoon in Paris, France, but it's almost late at night in China.

But tonight, no one chose to sleep at all.

Hundreds of millions of League of Legends players in the national server are all in front of the computer screen, opening the live broadcast page of the finals of major live broadcast platforms, nervously and hopefully waiting for the opening of the world's top e-sports event.

At three o'clock, in Paris, France, the impassioned and heart-stirring battle music in the zenith arena suddenly stopped, and the audience fell silent for an instant.

A beautiful British hostess in an elegant silver-white dress walked up to the stage, holding the microphone and smiling with a smile to begin to give a speech and introduce the rules and schedule of the finals.

Beside the beautiful hostess, there stood another slender and tall figure.

Today's Ward is not only one of the official core commentators of the finals, but also the task of the host, the fluffy and messy blond curls have been carefully processed and shaped by the makeup artist today, lined with a decent and slim suit, which undoubtedly reflects the chic and handsome man who has fought all the way from the Dota professional tournament to the present.

However, the protagonists in today's zenith arena are destined not to be the two glamorous hosts on stage.

This is the S-Series World Finals, where 16 of the world's top teams compete.

Then the protagonists can only be the players of these sixteen teams.

When the hostess's opening remarks were over, Ward on the side cleared his throat and picked up the microphone, announcing:

"So, what's next—"

"Please let everyone join me in sending you the most passionate and warm applause and cheers."

"Welcome to this grand feast like never before!"

"Grand Final ......"

"Let's go!"

In an instant, the colorful lampposts suddenly flashed wildly again, and the cheers of the entire zenith arena boiled like thunder, and the screams and applause like a tsunami of mountains could almost completely overturn the dome of the entire arena!

It's coming, it's coming, it's coming!!

After more than 300 days and nights, finally, I waited for this exciting day!

War!

War!!

……

The first round of the group stage on the first day of the finals will be played from Group A.

The two teams that will play in the first match are Team Fate from South Korea and Team Dream from North America.

As soon as the two teams took their seats in their respective arenas and were in a state of preparation, video clips of the two teams' interviews began to be shown on several giant LCD screens in the arena.

As a veteran LOL team, the North American Dream team showed in the interview the calm temperament unique to the veteran team, humble but confident.

On the other hand, the Fate team, as the rookie dark horse in this season's OGN division, this team, known as the "wolf pack" by the outside world, gives people a wild and aggressive atmosphere from the inside out, from the players to the captain.

At the end of the interview clip, Sword, the captain of Team Fate, grinned at the camera and showed a cruel smile:

"NJseal is strong."

"But we're going to be the other team to make it out of the group."

When such an interview clip was released, it directly caused a commotion and discussion among the audience.

Because of the words of the young genius mid-laner captain of the Fate team, on the one hand, he admitted the strength of the NJseal team, but on the other hand, he made such a categorical promise, which is actually equivalent to saying that the other two teams in Group A, they will not take it seriously!

On the Internet, the audience of League of Legends players in the national server watched it directly!

Hastily, damn this stick is too arrogant!

This is a naked provocation that must not be tolerated!

At the scene, several members of the Back team sitting in the front row of the guest seats still looked as usual and looked very calm, as if they were not affected by the naked provocative announcement made by Sword on the LCD screen.

The potato next to him was still curious and asked Jiang Ran:

"Eh, Xiao Jiang, what is that kid talking about on the big screen?"

Jiang Ran's face was expressionless: "I don't know!" ”

……

The first battle begins.

The two teams that played against each other, one is a rookie dark horse, and the other is an old strong team, this kind of competition between new and old blood is not uncommon on this stage of the World Finals.

E-sports is a field where the times change rapidly, and two years ago you may have been killing all sides on the field with high spirits, but two years later, you may be facing the end of being defeated and eliminated by newcomers.

In this arena, it has always been the cruel law of the jungle, and it is always the winner who takes all.

30 minutes later, with the cheers and applause of the audience, the first match of the first round of Group A of the group stage ended.

Team Fate defeated Team Dream to take their first victory.

On the arena, the five veterans of the Dream team looked a little annoyed and regretful, in this game, in fact, they did not play their best state, a little mistake in the early stage was seized by the opponent's Fate team, and then they have been pressed in a passive disadvantaged situation.

In the end, the disadvantage continued to grow and they were unable to return to the sky, and a wave of team battles on the highlands were directly broken by the Fate team in two highlands, resulting in defeat.

But one way or another, defeat is defeat.

In this arena, no explanations or justifications are meaningless.

In e-sports, not many people will really pay attention to your ten years of work in the audience before the game, and more spectators only need the results of a few dozen minutes on the court.

However, for the five members of the Dream team, although they lost the first game, they did not see more frustration and discouragement on their faces, which is also the psychological quality that only veteran professional team players have.

The group stage is just getting started.

As long as you don't give up, there will be a chance next.

The audience also enthusiastically gave applause to the Dream team of the defeated side as an encouragement, after all, for them, the audience, is naturally more looking forward to seeing more exciting games.

And if we want to talk about more exciting games, then the second matchup of the group stage can undoubtedly meet the needs of all audiences to the greatest extent -

China's Nine Heavens team, against South Korea's NJwolf team!

The second game has not yet begun, but there is already a commotion of excitement in the audience.
