Chapter 389: Opening Ceremony
Seeing them talking, the people in the LPL division frowned tightly.
For two consecutive years, the LPL division has lost a lot of people in the S competition, which has indeed lost a lot of people in the LPL division.
Gu Linshan exhaled, looked around, and then walked in the direction of the plaque with the LPL division plaque.
The teams participating in this S competition come from all over the world, and Riot China is still very caring, inviting a lot of chefs, specially equipped with chefs suitable for the recipes of each competition area.
After the people in the LPL division sat down at several tables, they didn't pay attention to the others and ate their own.
The day seemed to have passed, but the next day, Team IV had a huge problem, because the team had some verbal conflicts with the people in each major region when they were downstairs the night before, and they had originally planned to play a training match with TSM, KT and H2K today, but these teams all rejected their requests for a training match.
And that's not counting, after seeing their refusal, the IV team successively contacted other European and American teams and Korean teams, and without exception, all of them rejected their requests for training matches, including SKT.
This matter is very hurtful for the IV team, and playing training matches with each major region in advance can adapt to a style of play in each major region, because the playing style and style of each region are completely different.
The LCK division focuses on a way of playing to reduce one's own mistakes and catch the opponent's mistakes, while the European division is more inclined to fights, and the North American division is biased towards playing teams and individual online capabilities.
As for the wild card division, no one pays attention to it, and no one thinks that the wild card region can really get any good results in this S competition.
This made the IV team very uncomfortable, because now except for the teams participating in the World Championship, most of the teams that did not participate in the S Tournament in other regions are also uneven, because they are already in a state of vacation, and it is unlikely that they will be asked to play training matches.
In the end, the IV team was only able to get one team, ANX from the Wild Card region.
ANX are the big brothers from Russia in the Wild Card Zone, and they, like Team IV, don't have a training match with the team.
Because of the weak strength of the wild card region, it is difficult for them to make an appointment for a training match, and Russia has not been treated well in recent years due to some political problems, so they also can't make an appointment for a training match.
The two teams in the LPL region also want to do something in the S competition, and they feel that they already know a lot about the teams in the Tong region, so they still arrange the main training matches to the teams in other regions, and only occasionally play one game with the IV team.
In this way, most of the IV team training matches are played with ANX and their second team, or when they go to play qualifying.
This is quite fatal to them.
It also added a layer of confusion to their S race trip.
On October 28th, the IV team went to record some VCRs.
In the meantime, the schedule has come out.
The first day of the tournament will be a Group A match, and SKT will be in the opener against the GD team from the LPL region!
The third seed in this LPL region will play against the biggest favorite to win the championship in this S competition.
Team IV is in Group B, and their match will be played on the second day, and their opponent is Team CF from North America! That is, Froggen's team.
The MVP will face off against Team MG.
On the evening of October 28th, a news was released on the Palm League, which caused a shock in this S competition.
Palm Alliance conducted an exclusive interview with SKT.
SKT's goal for this S tournament is still the championship, and Faker is trying to achieve the goal of three consecutive championships!
When asked who SKT thinks his biggest opponent in the S Race is, SKT's answer surprised everyone.
Huni's answer is: MVP!
The answer to the bottom lane combination is: TSM!
Because in this year, TSM showed an invincible situation in the training match.
But Faker and coach Kkoma's answer was beyond everyone's expectations.
faker said: "I think the biggest opponent in this S tournament is the IV team from the LPL region, because their players are very strong, their mid-laner is one of the best mid-laners in this S tournament in my opinion, and their jungler Fate is particularly strong, I think his personal strength is the strongest in the jungler position." â
Kkama also replied: "I also think that the opponent of this S match is the IV team, because of the problem of playing style, the whole world is now following the Korean way of thinking, we noticed this style of play when the FT-OP style of play came out, to a certain extent, he is indeed likely to break the rhythm of the operation, but this is a double-edged sword style of play, unstable, but the victory is very flexible, the ceiling is very high, so I think against the IV team with such a style of play, We didn't have a 100 per cent chance of winning, but I was 100 per cent sure when I met other teams. â
If Huni, Bang, and Olf's answers made everyone feel normal, Faker and Kkoma's answers surprised everyone!
In this S match, except for the Chinese media who felt that the IV team had a chance to defeat the Korean team, no foreign media mentioned the IV team when talking about the S championship.
After the news of the Zhangmeng went out, it was quickly released abroad by a foreign translator, which caused earth-shaking changes for a while.
The first is that faker said that the IV Nakano combination is strong, and the second is that the IV team's style of play mentioned by Kkoma makes them feel very novel.
In short, faker's words made the IV team attract the attention of the world, and with the previous ridicule of TSM and some European and American teams, the IV team became the object of ridicule all over the world at this time.
Although the SKT folks say this, many people think that they are just a kind word to the hosts, so they are waiting to see the jokes of Team IV!
Under such circumstances, on October 1st, the National Day came. At the same time, this day is also the day of the start of the S competition.
The whole of Chongqing is filled with an atmosphere of S competition.
In a stadium that can accommodate more than 8,000 people, there are already a lot of spectators around.
Most of these audiences are Chinese, and of course, there are some hardcore LOL fans from abroad.
They frantically poured into the stadium, and many of them even cosplayed the heroes of League of Legends.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the opening ceremony officially kicked off!
A large number of people have poured into the live broadcast room of the whole platform at this time, and the barrage in the live broadcast room is already dense at this time, and it is crazy to brush!
At 2 o'clock, the opening ceremony kicked off, and after the show, the official hosts from Riot, Riot China, and LPL all walked on the stage, and after the introduction, the voice of the doll from China began to become passionate.
"Next, we will invite sixteen teams from this S tournament to enter, first of all, there are teams from the LCK, they are the triple crown champions, they are the strongest team in LOL history, they are SKT!" The doll's voice was passionate.
At this time, the audience of 8,000 people let out a deafening roar!
SKT is such a team, they have countless fans all over the world, they are admired by everyone, and it is their impressive record that attracts these fans.
E-sports, there are results, then you have everything, this is the law of e-sports, the eternal law.
As the SKT people walked onto the stage, the cheers grew louder.
âS-K-T! S-KTďź â
The rhythmic sound continued to sound, and the three SKT team members all greeted the people on the scene, and the people walked up to the stage.
Then the doll said: "They are the kings of S4, they won the championship of S4 with absolute dominance, they left the LPL, and reorganized two years later, the five of them are known as the most perfect team in LOL, without any shortcomings, and now in the place where they dream of setting sail, they have once again entered the battlefield of the S game, let us please, MVP!" â
The predecessor of MVP is Samsung White, and all five of them have been in China, so the cheers are naturally not weak!
The doll is introduced one team by one.
At this time, in the backstage, Team IV was standing, they were the finale of the team, and all five of them had some nervousness on their faces.
Zhang Yangyang scolded: "Damn, how could I be so nervous." â
Gu Linshan also breathed a sigh and said: "It's all the same, I'm so nervous, we have been yearning for this stage for so long, it's strange not to be nervous." â
