The enthusiastic audience not only found out that S8 is the 7th championship of the season for EDG, there are 7 strokes of the two characters in Incheon, and the address of Incheon Moonhak Stadium is 127 in Sangha-hwang-te.

It was also found on the map that the main road next to the venue was a large figure 7.

Isn't this EDG's home field?!

In comparison.

Xiao IG, who was originally a hero of the LPL, became a villain.

The vast majority of the audience hopes that EDG can win this championship, and it is basically impossible to achieve the achievements of the ancients before and in the future.

In such an environment, the IG team also held their breath, practiced with the most desperate attitude in the five-day interval between the semi-finals and the finals, and even reviewed the process of recording a promotional video and trash talk at the official invitation.

Match day is approaching day by day.

The atmosphere is getting tense.

Even the rank records of EDG and IG have been studied by avid viewers, and various lengthy analyses have been made through data that they don't know whether they are true or false.

A series of topics such as Jackeylove's repeated Q answers, the state has become a fan, Rookie's counterpoint to ShowMaker has been exploded, Meiko Lao Niu has been sent to the super ghost, and Baolan Titan has a continuous hook wall.

November 3rd.

3:30 p.m.

The Incheon Moon Hak Stadium was packed.

Most of them are international students and domestic audiences who have come from afar.

Occasionally, you can see a few foreign faces.

There were also many veterans from ancient times who rushed to the scene.

These veterans supported the prestige of the competition area before the formation of the LPL, and they were the original cornerstone of the LPL.

On a huge screen hanging in the center of the arena, there were three phantoms of summoners holding crystal balls.

Below.

The countdown is one second and the second passes.

When jumping from 11 to 10, the background instantly changes to a space-time tunnel-like effect.

And when the number comes to 8, the skins of the KDA girl group linked with Kaisha, Akali, Widow, and Ahri are displayed one by one, and finally transition from the orb in Ahri's hand to the official logo of smashing the barrier with a fist.

When the singing and dancing show combined with VR technology is over.

Ahri walked into the golden portal.

Raise your hand and press it.

With the rhythm of the water waves, it flashed.

The surroundings change.

Ahri, who has been restored to his original form from the KDA skin, arrives at Valhalla.

Above.

Pictures of the past championships flashed.

There are hugs and crying, there are bloody cups, there are coaches flying on stage to celebrate with the players, and all the staff are bathed in the golden rain in a circle.

Immediately.

Valhalla crashes.

Ahri lunged forward with a vigorous stance, holding on to the Summoner Championship Trophy.

After a long fall, he saw the sky above the Incheon Munhak Stadium through the portal and threw the trophy the main stage.

The camera turned.

Slowly rise from the Summoner Championship Trophy, which has been plated with a layer of gold in the spotlight, and capture the EDG and IG players standing in two columns.

The RISE theme song then plays.

At the height of the song, a mist of dry ice sprays around the stage.

When other sounds pause.

Wave after wave of 'EDG' shouts rang out from the audience.

Dressed in a beige suit and burgundy bow tie, the Roaring Emperor stepped out of the central passage.

After interacting with the dancers who were invited to participate in the opening ceremony, Roaring Emperor entered the topic: "Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the scene of the final battle of the 2018 League of Legends World Championship. ”

"They are the second seeds from the LPL region - InvictusGaming!"

The voice did not fall.

There were bursts of screams and shouts on the field.

The Roaring Emperor waited for a few seconds before reading his name again: "There is also the No. 1 seed from the LPL region - EDwardGaming!" ”

This time.

The enthusiasm of the audience increased several times.

The cheers continued for more than a dozen seconds.

"Wow-"

Emperor Roaring dragged a long note: "The audience and friends at the scene are really too enthusiastic, from this we can see how much we look forward to today's battle, indeed, no matter who can win today's team, it will definitely add a forever memorable stroke in the history of League of Legends." ”

"Now, let me introduce the members of the participating team."

"First of all, InvictusGaming, who is going to the championship as a 'challenger'!"

"Top Order: Theshy!"

"Jungler: Ning!"

"Mid laner: Rookie!"

“AD：SMLZ！”

"Support: Baolan!"

"Head Coach: Kim Kyung-so, Substitute Singler: Duke!"

The lens is given to the position where the IG is located.

I saw five main players, a coach, and a substitute standing in a row, holding the black and white flag printed with the team logo behind them.

"Their opponent is the legendary EDwardGaming, who have not tasted defeat since the S6 Finals and have dominated all the tournaments!"

"Order: General!"

"Jungler: Clearlove7!"

"Midlaner: Xiye!"

“AD：Jackeylove！”

"Support: Meiko!"

"Head Coach: Maokai, Substitute Jungler: Jiejie, Substitute Mid Laner: Zitai!"

The camera gives a close-up according to the introduction.

After all the members were presented, accompanied by the passionate background music, the Roaring Emperor raised the volume to the highest: "The two teams will have a BO5 showdown today, let's wait and see!" ”

……

Contestants get into their seats and start preparing.

The footage of the LPL's official live broadcast room was given to the commentary seat.

The three of Doll, Miller, and Zeyuan wore white suits, cyan suits, and gray jackets respectively, and appeared on the high platform in a corner of the scene.

"Good afternoon, summoners!"

"I'm a doll."

"I'm Miller."

"I'm Zeyuan."

After introducing herself, the doll was the first to speak: "I really didn't expect there to be so many spectators, the entire stadium was crowded, we belong to the away game, and today we will take a look, it is completely our home stadium." ”

"It's all our team!" Miller was very interested: "Before the start of the World Championship, we felt that the Galaxy Battleship KT on the LCK side was a strong team second only to EDG, because the KT players were composed of world champions and world runners-up, and the worst one except for the jungler was the world runner-up, but it was such a KT that was sent back to his hometown by IG in the quarterfinals. ”

"Uh...... I'll interrupt you. The doll interjected: "Send it or not, KT has always been in my hometown." ”

"Ahem, ahem, it's too much!" Miller almost didn't choke: "Although IG lost to EDG in the LPL Summer Tournament, after a battle with KT, we can clearly see that IG's strength has been greatly enhanced. ”

"After beating KT, they are more confident." Zeyuan pointed out the key.

If the previous IG has been shrouded in the shadow of EDG, there is only a gray sky in front of it.

IG, which defeated KT, saw a glimmer of light from the dark clouds.

"Indeed."

Doll nodded: "When I was preparing, I had a few conversations with IG's psychoanalyst, and he told me that IG's fighting spirit was very strong, and he wasn't very nervous, just similar to the European and American teams, and he was very open." ”

"In the past, these young men at IG had less experience in the competition than EDG." Miller commented: "Their advantage is that they are young and dare to fight, and their disadvantage is that they are young, and they may not be so well prepared for various situations...... However, after the quarterfinals and the semifinals, two BO5 games, playing five games to send KT away, and carrying away C9 with a 3-0 crushing record, I think IG has made up for this last shortcoming. ”
