Shanghai Oriental Sports Center.

Also known as, "Crown of the Sea".

It is a comprehensive stadium about the size of the Qizhong Forest Tennis Center, which hosted the spring finals, and can also accommodate about 15,000 spectators.

Today is the first time in three years that riot has come to China to hold a world event, and the last time a world event was held in China was the All-Star Game of S3.

That All-Star Game was also memorable, and there were many terriers.

With four PDDs in one shot, I'm going to prove who is the world's No. 1 jungler, insec roundhouse kick, hammer stone's Q flash......

It was also that All-Star that allowed the world to witness the rise of Korean League of Legends, and also allowed domestic players to see for the first time how fierce Koreans with e-sports national policies are catching up in the field of e-sports.

You must know that in the early days of S3 or even before the time point, the domestic LOL has always felt that he is the more leading party, what WE dropped the line for five minutes and still turned the tables, IG swept the Korean heroes in the Dragon and Tiger Cup, and successfully defended for five consecutive weeks, including the smile easily topped the first place in Hanbok.

At that time, there were very few professional players in China who would play Hanbok because they felt that Hanbok was too vegetable.

Until the S3 All-Star Game, there was no way to face South Korea's pulling poke system, and after that, the gap between the two divisions became wider and wider......

The rise of the TOP of this year's spring tournament has once again made the audience in the LPL region see hope in the darkness again, so the enthusiasm to watch the game is more than ever, and even the price of on-site tickets has risen, and many people are still hard to find a ticket even if they are looking for scalpers.

Background.

"Eh, did you see it just now, it looks like it's tara!" Condi looked excited.

The guest performer of today's opening ceremony is the girl group tara from South Korea, and there are a group of anchors who play the MV of the Korean girl group on major platforms, and tara is undoubtedly the best in the popularity of the girl group.

Although their popularity plummeted in South Korea because of Liu Huaying's backstabbing, it did not prevent them from having a lot of fans in China.

Who would refuse a girl group that takes the sexy route and has good looks and long legs at the same time?

NO.9 is even regarded as a war song.

And Tara is also one of the signed artists of Principal Wang's Banana Project.

Kandi's Internet celebrity-faced girlfriend is similar to Park Hyo-min in TARA, right...... It can't be said to be similar, it can only be said that it is in the direction of Park Hyo-min.

"Didn't you know Tara was going to perform before you came?" Li Hansheng rolled his eyes.

"It's different, is it okay to know that there is still a gap between knowing and seeing me?" Condi glared at him angrily, and then asked curiously, "Who do you like?" I love Saomin! ”

Maybe he was a little too excited, causing his voice to be a little loud, and Condi immediately covered his mouth.

"What are you afraid of? If you call her Sao Min in front of her, people won't understand. Li Hansheng teased.

"Hee-hee-hee." Ming also leaned over, "I like Madame." ”

This nickname exposes the identity of his fans, Mrs. is Li Juli's nickname, because it is homophonic with Madame Curie, so she is called Mrs. by fans.

Also, this kind of young man likes this kind of mature big sister.

"Nest...... Actually, I like tara a lot. "Tara debuted very early, and even before IMP played professionally, she became famous in Korea, and it is normal for IMP to like it.

"I like Madame too." Greenhair also came over to interject.

"Don't ask me, I like Mei Honma right now." Gao Dewei became old and two-dimensional as soon as he opened his mouth, and his avatar on Weibo and in the live broadcast room is all used with this character.

When the teammates focused their eyes on themselves, Ah Shui Alexander, "Look at what I'm doing, buddy doesn't chase stars." ”

"Really?" Li Hansheng laughed and teased, "I thought you would like Baolan, after all, you two can finally exchange experiences with short legs." ”

"Get out! Brother Hansheng, let me tell you that if you talk like this, you will be easily beaten up on our side! Ah Shui was poked in the sore spot, and immediately exploded, "I'm not an adult yet!" It's still in the development stage! I'm sure I'll be able to grow taller!

”

The crowd burst into laughter.

"By the way, what about you, Lao Li?" Condi asked curiously.

It stands to reason that with Li Hansheng's popularity and his appearance, as long as he wants to, he can't be the Canadian cannon king, and it is more than enough to be a star city cannon king, but the TOP people have not found that Li Hansheng has been close to any girl, even if it is a live interaction, it is purely for the effect of the show.

How can a person who sits in front of the computer every day and plays games and rarely uses his mobile phone to read news, interact with girls? Brainwave connection?

"Well." Li Hansheng smiled, stretched out his right hand, and then slowly tightened his five fingers into a fist, "Children only make choices, I wanted them all at that time!"

”

“he tui！” Condi expressed disdain, "Scumbag! ”

"Wow, I can't see that Brother Hansheng originally liked this tune?" Ah Shui also teased.

Li Hansheng didn't bother to explain, sometimes he was thinking, why didn't he cross into a Korean chaebol, he also wanted to experience the happiness of the Korean chaebol.

At around 2 p.m., the final rehearsal takes place on this side of the scene, and then the ticket gates are opened for the audience to enter.

Because of the foreign teams, many foreign audiences also came to watch the game, and of course, the theme must be the audience in the LPL competition area who fights locally!

3 o'clock sharp!

The lights suddenly dimmed, and the whole stage was a boxy shape, and directly above the stage, there was a huge screen facing the four directions, facing the audience.

The first thing that plays is a short clip of riot's elaborate MSI Championship.

Then tara appeared on the stage to perform "NO.9", and countless male fans at the scene cheered excitedly.

I don't have to say the performance effect of the professional girl group, not to mention that the crown is called 'Yan Tuan' in the entertainment circle where there are many Korean girl groups, which proves that their appearance is really good, plus today's clothes deliberately highlight their perfect figure and long legs.

All I can say is......

Principal Wang really understands men, after all, he is also a man and knows what the audience likes to watch.

Hearing this familiar BGM, Li Hansheng couldn't help but shake his legs together, as if he had returned to the scene where he yelled and shouted together in the live broadcast room of the Seventh Master for the first time.

A wonderful performance gradually pushed the atmosphere to a climax!

In fact, when the TARA, Lee Hansheng, his teammates, and the contestants from the other participating teams had already come to the edge of the stage to prepare for the stage.

The stage lights dimmed again, and when they lit up again, a group of actors wearing Hanfu and holding huge brushes were still performing it.

When the tip of the brush is scratched on the ground, it will leave a corresponding trace, which is the ground screen technology used in the finals before.

This time, Riot combined the characteristics of each participating team with the characteristics of the competition area and then combined it with the Chinese totem culture to design an exclusive totem for each participating team.

The screen suddenly appeared with an audio commentary in English and excitement, and the screen was a picture of G2 in the league of their own division.

"King Kong is not bad Dazhai Master"

And their totemic symbol is: King of the Wolves.

The European division is the wolf, and there will be some very iconic players in this division, especially those lone wolf king midlaners, G2, who stands out from the European wolves, is undoubtedly the king of the wolves!

At the same time, the G2 players came to the edge, the lights were given to them overhead, and the moment they appeared, the audience immediately sent the warmest applause and cheers to welcome the team to the domestic competition.

This is the pattern of a big country, and it is completely the same as the Busan Library.

"That's a very correct assessment." Li Hansheng smiled.

The European French King's style of play is indeed a lone wolf play, and then in layman's terms, it is the rank style of play, I don't care if my teammates live or die, anyway, I have to make sure that I get fat, and then operate in team battles.

They are followed by the Lightning Wolves of the LMS Division.

Their totemic emblem reads: Cheetah of Raid!

Since LMS won the championship in S2, the overall performance of the division has been mediocre, lacking the competitiveness to win the championship, they are like cheetahs in the American prairies, not as big a threat as lions and tigers, but they are also threatening, and if you ignore him, they will gnaw off a piece of meat.

This is actually very much in line with the LMS region's performance at Worlds over the years, unable to make it to the end, but always creating some surprises in the group stage BO1, such as beating South Korea.

This was followed by the CLG team in North America.

Their totemic symbol is: the resolute and unyielding warrior.

Li Hansheng feels that it is not appropriate to use the North American division to describe the North American region, after all, this division is really incompatible with the fortitude and unyielding, and it is more appropriate to describe it as a world warrior.

Next up is the SUP team in the Wild Card Zone.

Their totemic symbol is: Giant Shooter.

All I can say is...... This totem logo is the official expectation of riot for them in MSI, riot has been committed to promoting League of Legends on a global scale, with a special emphasis on the wild card region, because they know that more blossoming can maintain the influence and attractiveness of League of Legends professional events around the world.

How can I increase viewership in the Wild Card Zone?

Defeating the strong with the weak and defeating those teams who are regarded as 'giants' in the eyes of the wild card teams is a breaking point!

Then there's Team SKT in the LCK!

Their totem is: the hunting tiger!

Taiji Tiger is a mythical beast in the minds of the Korean people, and the image of the tiger perfectly fits their competition area, and they are like a hunting tiger, which has won the S championship in the past 3 consecutive years, even so, this hunting tiger still has not stopped.

When all SKT staff appeared, the scene immediately gave huge cheers!

Faker's popularity is second to none in the world, even in China, and in the minds of many domestic gamers, faker is the best template for all esports players, and the only downside is that he is Korean.

【Ghosts! There is murder in Guapi's eyes! 】

[MSI still needs to be watched? Champions must belong to the volute! 】

[Collect the flavor of Korean miscellaneous products, the times have changed, and now is the era of TOP! ] 】

[Laughing to death, what champion is TOP? ] SKT What Champion? Why do you touch porcelain? 】

[You go and ask Li Hansheng, does he dare to compare with Gupibi? Do you really think that winning a league championship and giving a so-called ranking by the official is really the first in the world?? 】

The barrage in the live broadcast room was very lively, and the two sides began to tear each other apart, which was called a lively.

Although TOP represents LPL, it is not one-sided within LPL to support TOP.

Some are heartbroken by the poor performance of the LPL losing to the LCK in previous years, and some are pure champion fans, who are strong and touted whoever is strong.

After all, the logic of this kind of fandom thinking lies in the fact that my fan's idol has better grades than your fan's idol, so I can despise you.

Faker is the best person in the entire League of Legends professional circle today, and if you argue with others in the forum post bar, you can be invincible.

If you can't argue, you can say a sentence.

What champion do you idol? Faker What Champion? Also worthy of touching porcelain?

Not only in the e-sports circle, but also in the basketball and football circles, there are many fans who are so emotional, fighting for the so-called historical status.

The last team to appear on the stage is naturally the top team fighting at home!

Before the promotional video was played, the audience at the scene couldn't wait to cheer and shout to welcome the players!

The totem logo of the LPL division in the picture is also displayed: A dragon soaring in the sky!

The dragon has a very high status in China's traditional culture, after all, we all call ourselves the descendants of Yan and Huang, the descendants of the dragon, just like the legendary dragon, the scale of the LPL region itself is very large, whether it is the base of players, teams or audiences.

It also fits an idiom, the dragon and the tiger fight, implying the struggle between the two divisions of LPL and LCK.

But......

Li Hansheng feels that LPL has not been able to achieve good results in the past few years, and it is not suitable to soar into the sky, it should be described as waking up in Su, the dragon in the east is slowly opening its eyes, ready to soar into the sky!

The last six totems of the screen appear together on the screen, surrounding the giant trophy.

Dragons and tigers compete, wolves and leopards are around, shooters and samurai are ready to attack!

Who will be the king of this year's mid-season?

"Hello to all the audience and friends who are watching the live broadcast!

”

Long Hair's loud voice resounded throughout the audience, "I'm Long Hair, and today I will be on the commentary table with you to witness the exciting showdown that is about to begin!" ”

"I'm not the only one in the commentary seat, there are also jokers you are familiar with and two other special guests!"

The camera swept to the side, and the audience found out.

EDG's Abu and factory manager clearlove sat on the sofa in the comment booth, and the two waved hello to the camera with smiles on their faces.

Naturally, it once again attracted a burst of cheers from the audience!

At all costs.

The current popularity of the factory director in China is terrifying, and EDG, as the team that has dominated the LPL region in the past few years, will not lose the popularity accumulated by a defeat in the spring finals.

And the two sides of the opening match have also come to the stage.

They are the TOP of the LPL division and the CLG of the North American division!
