European LCS Studios.

“ten、nine、eight……”

The audience was cheering and shouting, and the ringing of the background music was getting faster and faster.

On the big screen, the countdown ended, and when the familiar special effect of a fist breaking glass appeared, the scene suddenly fell silent.

The lights suddenly faded away, and the bronze dim lamp turned on.

Dozens of performers appeared on the stage.

The prelude with a strong heavy metal texture sounds.

…………

After the entrance.

The 6 teams participating in the group stage have gathered.

With the advantage of height, Qi Zhou was able to directly observe the interior scene of the LCS studio from the perspective of looking down on all beings.

The smoky, dim and pitch black, with red light sweeping from time to time, coupled with the deafening music coming out of it, suddenly gave Qi Zhou the feeling of a full bar as a competition location.

Crowded, noisy, hot-blooded!

I have to say that the atmosphere is indeed full!

Looking at such an enthusiastic audience, the members of each team were all full of blood.

"Let's welcome Team KZ!"

The host's ultra-high decibel volume is transmitted directly through the crowd to the backstage through the speaker.

Team KZ from the LCK region will be the first to enter.

"Team KZ is invincible in the LCK region! When it comes to the Mid-Season Championship, their goal is very clear, and that is to win! Team KZ will be looking to bring their dominance in the LCK region to the Mid-Season Championship! ”

The host recounted the pre-match trash talk submitted by Team KZ.

“oh！ ~wo！ oh~~~”

“KZ！ ~~”

To get on stage, you need to walk through a narrow passage across the auditorium.

Due to the thousands of European men crowded on the scene, the enthusiasm was excessive!

Many of them reached out into the aisle and wanted to give high-fives to the KZ teammates.

Therefore, the five kimchi country players are struggling.

It took nearly 1 minute to reach the middle of the stage where the bronze mid-season trophy was placed.

"It's kind of scary...... It's like a scene inside a zombie siege. ”

Xiao Tian's eyes were slightly resistant, obviously he was a little disgusted with being too close to each other.

Qi Zhou smirked, "Wait and follow me, otherwise your glasses may be missing......"

Between words.

The European home team FNC enters the field.

They are FPX's first opponents in the group stage, and the battle between the two will also be the opening match of this mid-season championship.

In football, "there are no weak teams in Europe, and there are no strong teams in Asia." ”

In the League of Legends game, this sentence is exactly the opposite.

The League of Legends World Championship, as a feast in the field of esports, was presented by Riot at S2.

But FNC is known as the "S1 Champion".

Two contradictions.

Actually, S1 wasn't a global event, and Riot didn't have the word "world" added to it at the time.

Held in Sweden, the tournament lasted only three days between six teams from Europe and the United States and two teams from Southeast Asia.

At that time, it was carried out under the name of "Tournament".

It's actually no different from a regular Internet café race.

Even, FNC's champion skin, Riot didn't make it up until (2) 014.

Therefore, the gold content of the S1 champion is minimal.

The champion team of S2 is the provincial team assassination star, from S3 to S6, the S championship was won by Kimchi Country, and S7 was won by EDG. …

It can be seen that there is indeed no strong team in Europe.

However, the FNC is not a weak brigade either.

As a World regular, it was only absent from S2 and S6.

In this season's spring game, FNC is even more sharp, and there is a great tendency for the king of "S1" to return.

"Let's welcome the Fire Phoenix of the East, the champion of the LPL Spring Tournament - FPX Team to enter!"

The host's voice came again.

The six members of the Phoenix team took a look at their uniforms and then entered.

Qi Zhou has always liked to be at the back of the line.

But this time, he had to stand at the top of the list.

Because the audience is so enthusiastic, if you want to break through the level composed of dozens or hundreds of arms, the leader must be tall and strong.

"German sausages, delicious, as carnivores. I felt like I would eat it for a whole month if I could...... But the deepest desire of my heart ruthlessly cut off my thoughts! Because of this European trip, FPX's destination is the Paris Zenith Arena in the Parc de la Villette in Paris! ”

"Of course, that's just the destination...... We, the FPX team, are aiming for the championship! ”

The host finished the trash talk written by Qi Zhou and carried a huge amount of private work.

However, the six players of FPX are only halfway through the aisle.

You know, the LCS studio is not big.

From the entrance of the studio to the stage, it is only a little more than 50 meters away.

In general, it can be done in half a minute.

But now, a full minute has passed!

"What the hell? Why is it that when these white-skinned people see the Sea King, they are as fanatical as they are when they see a loving father. ”

"Ah~~~ My little brother's hair that can't grow out, and the middle point that he finally left was messed up by them!"

"Visual inspection...... It will take at least 5 minutes for FPX to enter the market. ”

"Are these people male ketones? It's scary!! ”

…………

Kimchi Country.

The sticks who are watching the live broadcast are full of unhappiness!

You white-skinned pigs are stupid, aren't you?

Why Khan Smecta and BDD Smecta ...... Didn't get so welcome?!

The resentment value is full——

The cosmic barrage is on the mouse platform, asking frantically.

"Our KZ team is the most dick!"

"It's really pitiful, a bunch of European barbarians who have never seen the world, and you won't know who should be worshiped until the LCK players show their strength!"

"According to the existing history books of our country, the ancestor of the Sea player was the Incheon Qi style, and he moved to Zhijiang Yongcheng during the Ming Dynasty, so Sea is a kimchi countryman!"

"Wait, the champion will definitely belong to the LCK, I like to eat inferior food made of pork wrapped in large intestines, and my intelligence is worried!"

…………

The people of Kimchi don't understand why Qi Zhou is so warmly welcomed by the local natives of Europe.

The jealousy in their hearts is off the charts.

Because the last time I saw this kind of scene was when their national treasure Faker appeared......

Hey, this season's honorable and hard-mouthed teacher Dafei, who has lost two teammates in Ueno who are tough enough, can't turn the tide, and SKT has begun to decline......

It's terrible.

Qi Zhou, as the party concerned, was actually confused.

The audience on both sides kept stretching out their hands and chanting his ID at the same time.

Like the devout Iseas.

"What's going on?"

The white crescent moon in the background frowned as he looked at the live footage transmitted back in front of him. …

The FW team has entered, but the FPX crowd has not yet made it to the stage.

"Haha...... I didn't expect Qi Zhou's popularity here to be so high. ”

Li Chun on the side laughed.

Seeing the white crescent moon with a blank expression, he began to explain.

"League of Legends is a MOBA game, and in addition to individual operations, the sense of cooperation between teams is also very important. But Europeans and Americans are more inclined to show their personal abilities in the game......"

"The last player they treated like this was Faker...... He used his hard power to lead SKT to create a Triple Crown dynasty. ”

"Actually, Europe and the United States are not particularly interested in League of Legends champions...... The weight in their hearts is not that important. ”

"It's all about the quality of the players."

"Qi Zhou's personal strength is not top-notch, but since he appeared in the public eye, he has won the game for the team through various novel routines."

"Compared with the operation of the LCK in S6 and S7, Europe and the United States appreciate Qi Zhou's creativity more, and they feel that Qi Zhou is really playing games."

Li Chun only explained temporarily, and it was not particularly clear.

But the white crescent moon still understood what he meant.

Probably on the European and American side, they admire Qi Zhou's way of often using various novel routines to help the team defeat strong opponents.

So in Aquaman, in just half a year, Qi Zhou became a figure like the waste department.

…………

Seeing that the FW team was about to chase the tail of Jin Gong at the back of the team.

Qi Zhou was a little anxious.

But looking at the frenzied eyes of the audience in front of him, he felt extremely comfortable.

These people are all fans of themselves...... Fans of their own overseas.

For a while, he thought of the picture of Fa Ge leaving the factory in "The King of Gamblers", everyone's eyes were starry.

Couldn't help it, Qi Zhou raised his hands, burst out with a powerful aura, and slowly lowered it.

Stretching out his hand in front of him, the European and American natives saw Qi Zhou's smile and his gestures, and understood what Qi Zhou meant.

In the next second, the first half of the passage was instantly unblocked!

", is the Sea King's aura so powerful?"

"It seems like a fat brother...... It's just that this is a bit out of the country. ”

"Right! The amount of Aquaman's hair can completely thin a big oily head or a big back! That's handsome. ”

"Why do I have the feeling that this year's MSI is Aquaman's solo show?"

…………

All six teams are on the scene.

After the host made another passionate speech, the two teams of FPX and FNC walked to the players' seats.

The other four teams gave way to the stage.

The opening game is about to begin!

The camera is given to the commentary seat.

"Haha, hello everyone!"

"The first leg of this mid-season championship is a big one!"

"FNC is a veteran powerhouse in the LCS region, and I believe everyone is familiar with it. So I'm going to focus on FPX...... In fact, this idea was born after seeing the entrance ceremony and the enthusiasm of the audience and friends. ”

"It's kind of a temporary idea!"

The blonde commentator clenched his palms and placed them in front of his stomach, then continued: "Team FPX is a new team in the LPL region. ”

"I'm sure everyone is familiar with the CEO of FPX Club, he's that hateful li, that's right! It's the hateful guy who has continuously weakened Irelia! ”…

The blonde commentator paused deliberately.

Immediately, there was a huge sigh from the audience.

emm…… There are also words that resemble the pronunciation of Faker.

Not very friendly though.

On the other side, Li Chun looked at the teaching assistant helplessly, "You know...... I'm just here to get my job done...... Keep the game balanced. ”

The teaching assistant nodded meaningfully.

"Top laner Sea!"

"This champion has brought us a wonderful performance in the S7 World Finals! He is the inventor of League of Legends, and his hack technology is as endless as Black Merdinger! ”

"FPX's jungler Tian and midlaner Knight are both newcomers, but their strength should not be underestimated!"

"As for the bottom lane group, they are two old friends who have a very tacit understanding, and they have worked together in the LPL for many years."

When the blonde commentary is over, the Banpick session has begun.

Since the two teams have not played each other, the coaches of both sides have targeted the players' best heroes through the video footage of the spring match of the other team.

Because it's not a Bo3 or Bo5 format.

The coin toss that the white crescent moon is good at is not showing.

So FPX this time, according to the pre-announced schedule, out of the blue side.

FNC has already sent Xiaotian's barrel, Lin Weixiang's big mouth, and Liu Qingsong's Bulon to the ban position.

At the behest of White Crescent, the left hand banned Zoe, who had performed exceptionally well in the spring tournament by FNaps.

"Haha, it's finally time for the exciting selection process."

"FPX has a first choice, let's guess what heroes they choose!"

"I think ......"

The bearded commentator just spoke, but found that the FPX side had locked the hero:

Master of Metal – Maud Caesar

"Oh my God, Maude Caesar!?"

The bearded man's small mouth opens in an "O" shape.

Not long ago, he commented on the LPL Spring Finals.

In the match against RNG, Qi Zhou chose Iron Man and turned enemies into friends, and the dead Uzi successfully turned the original corrupt situation around.

FPX also took advantage of the trend and pushed away the RNG crystal.

"Dead memories suddenly attacked me, and I thought of Caitlyn's headshot!" The bearded man's tone was exaggerated.

The blonde commentator on the side continued: "I remember I was there at the time...... But that's a dead memory. ”

"FNC must also know that the Sea player is outrageous Maude Caesar, and this trick has no effect once it is used."

"I guess this Maude Caesar is not for Sea players, it should be in the middle or the bottom lane!"

"I'm for it."

The blue-eyed commentator finally spoke, "For Morde Caesar of the AD stream, as long as the mage is selected in the FPX lower lane, you can sit back and relax in the later stage." ”

"It's just that I don't understand why FPX chose Iron Man first."

"You must know that many versions of strong heroes are not on the ban position, and AD heroes like Kai'Sa and Verus are good choices."

Since it is impossible to "take a peek and know the whole picture", several commentators are not entangled.

They need to wait for a few more heroes to be selected by both sides before they can make a better review.

However, as Banpick continued, they found that FPX's lineup was starting to drift off the beaten track.

Master of Metal.

Gravediggers.

Marzaha.

"Anne...... Ion!! ”

"Oh my God, is this the Conjuring Alliance?"

Being on the blue side, after the second round of banning is completed and the red side is selected, FPX is able to pick two heroes in a row.

Originally, Kim's first-round selection of metal masters, gravediggers, and Marzaha made everyone feel strange about FPX's lineup.

- These are all heroes with relatively unpopular versions.

But with the determination of the latter two choices, even players with low ranks have instantly discovered the special features of the FPX lineup.

Iron man, capable of enslaving souls.

Gravedigging, able to summon the Misty Maiden.

Marzaha, the father of the Void Beasts.

Annie, Tibbs.

Emerald God, Xiaoju ~

"FPX, what are you trying to do?"

"Are we going to witness a big brawl with dozens of people?"
