Chapter 301: Opening Ceremony, Ambition to Legend!
The short film ends with a view of the Wuhan TV Tower's towering top.
The host Ren Dong stepped to the front stage and began to introduce the sixteen teams in this group stage.
Waiting.
All EDG members took the original summoner cup and stood at the entrance of the special channel with WE, RNG, IG and chatted.
The World Finals, the Mid-Season Championship, and even the league trophies are unique.
Before the start of each competition, it will be handed over by the champion of the previous edition.
Of course.
As a winner, in addition to keeping the trophy for one year, they will also receive a quarter-sized replica to prove the accolade they have received.
"You can't have a 1-to-1 replica, that little cup really doesn't feel like it at all."
Ah Shui, who was born with divine power, carried the summoner's cup alone, and he didn't have any difficulty at all.
There is also energy to complain.
"I don't feel like it's given to us, we don't dislike it!" WE on the order 957 is joking.
"We don't dislike it either!" RNG on the single Letme join in the fun.
"Don't even want your face?" Xiaohu teased.
"If you can get a trophy, your face is nothing!" WE Jungler Condi vibrates with words.
"Your face is already quite ugly, it doesn't matter if you want to, I'm different, I rely on my appearance to eat." MXLG opened its eyes and said nonsense.
"Am I ugly?" Condi slowly turned his gaze to Ning's in surprise.
????
Ning, who has only played one summer tournament on IG, has an authentic black question mark on her face.
Right?
A bunch of old stuff suppresses newcomers, right?
"Hey, hey, it's almost okay, don't bully my little junior brother."
Xing Dao stood up: "Xiang Renjie (Condi) you have a jumping candy on your collar, clean it up, and you will go on stage immediately." ”
"Huh?" Condi reached out and slapped off a few small particles, and hurriedly explained: "This ...... That one...... I took it from my girlfriend's bag, and I poured two packs into my mouth when I was bored of waiting. ”
"No jelly?" Xing Dao was curious.
"Jelly? There are ...... Do you want to eat? Condi actually pulled out a couple of cone-shaped, translucent plastic wrappers.
"This girlfriend you are talking about, is it the kind that doesn't want a bride price, doesn't want a garage, doesn't want a diamond ring, doesn't want a deposit, and is gentle and lovely for only 800 yuan at a time, right?" Xing Dao has long heard of the name of the prostitute emperor.
"How can it be eight hundred...... No! Condi waved his hand again and again: "There is no such thing, slander, that's slander." ”
"Oh-" Xing Dao dragged out a long tone.
I determined that Condi at this time still had some face, and he didn't evolve into Mr. 91 Kang.
The others also had tacit expressions.
Man.
We all know each other.
If you want to test whether a man is or not, just put your finger under your nose and feel it for a while.
If there is breathing, conclusions can be drawn.
"That's right."
When he was about to take the stage, Xing Dao still whispered a word of advice: "Be low-key to Renjie, this kind of thing can be big or small, if someone gets involved, it will be troublesome." ”
"This ...... I know it's bad, but I just can't change it. Condi scratched her head.
"Go." Xing Dao gestured with his middle finger.
After receiving a full 32.5KG from Ah Shui's hand, which is equivalent to the original summoner's cup weighing more than half a person, he was the first to walk to the center of the stage.
Cheers and screams rang out at the same time.
Countless red and blue cheering sticks waved and collided.
The voices shouting out the names of the EDG teams and player IDs are even louder.
In last year's World Finals, EDG fought back all the way to win the championship after losing to the wild card team.
Next, they won the Spring Tournament, MSI Mid-Season Tournament, and Summer Tournament.
In the LPL region, and even around the world, the limelight is unparalleled for a while.
After the end of the mid-season, ESPN's poisoned milk list has always ranked EDG as the first place, and even the super dark horse LZ team, which first in the LCK regular season and defeated SKT, can only be relegated to second place.
This time again, it has home advantage.
Almost the entire audience burst into enthusiasm.
Place the Summoner's Cup in the center of the stage on a base made up of a black gold frame and dragon scale reliefs.
The ice-blue ambient lights then light up.
Combined with the trophy grooves, it creates an extremely cool light and shadow effect.
After waving to the audience, EDG stood at the top of Group A, a full step ahead of SKT, which was the second to enter the venue.
This was followed by the Red Pegasus AHQ and the North American Light C9.
Group A all appeared on stage, and then the members of groups B, C, and D were introduced in turn.
"Heroes are legends!"
"League of Legends World Championship 2017, Now...... Begin! ”
Ren Dong's voice fell.
In the venue, most of the spotlights were turned off, and except for EDG and AHQ, the other participating teams returned to the backstage in the order of entry.
The camera pans to the commentary booth.
"Hello, everyone, I'm Longhair!"
"Hello everyone, I'm Xiaocang, I'm very happy to be here at the S7 finals!"
"Hi, I'm Joker!"
Two commentators, plus a special guest, appeared together.
"I've seen the very, very enthusiastic performance of the crowd, with a round of applause and cheers from all the teams when they came on the stage, and their names were shouted out to the teams that were particularly supportive."
"So, before the tournament officially begins, summoners please lock in ......"
It took Changmao nearly two minutes to read the official and even the names of the major cooperation platforms, as well as the major sponsors.
From this stage, you can see how hot the business atmosphere of LPL is.
"I've just watched the sixteen teams appear, and everyone must have their own teams in their hearts, and the promotion mechanism has been shown before."
Long Hair got to the point: "I have an expectation, that is, I hope that all of our LPL teams can advance to the knockout round,"
"I think EDG will definitely qualify, and IG is also a good signing." Joker commented: "RNG and WE are relatively difficult teams, but as long as they play their due strength, it shouldn't be too difficult. ”
"It would be nice if they could all make it to the Final Four." Xiao Cang is dreaming.
"That...... The difficulty is too high. Joker didn't dare to boast like this: "Today we have two teams in our region who will take the stage, EDG and RNG. ”
"The first one is the battle between EDG and AHQ."
"What do you think about this?"
"AHQ is the second strongest team in the LMS division after the Lightning Wolves, but compared with EDG, there is a clear gap." Longhair is quite pertinent when it comes to evaluating strength.
"EDG can't be careless, after all, the LMS division is very good at creating miracles." Xiao Cang secretly changed his concept.
Good at creating miracles is the lightning wolf FW.
And it's out of the anti-South Korean side.
Using 'LMS is good at creating miracles' to blow AHQ is probably similar to Koreans using Monkey King's weapon to say that they are invincible......
Xiao Cang really can't help it.
After all, appearing in the commentary booth always makes the audience look forward to the upcoming game.
On the main stage.
The two teams have already tested the equipment and network, and entered the custom room opened by the official OB.
