Chapter 182: ONE & amp; amp; amp; amp; amp; ONLY
Since it is the first offline large-scale competition in the LPL in recent years, the League of Legends official can be said to have invested a lot of effort.
The venue design, program arrangement, etc., all spent a lot of money to find someone to get it, and it seems that they want to regain the enthusiasm of the players for the game.
On the afternoon of the game on September 1, the hotel near the Shanghai Stadium was visibly full.
The crowd sitting in the nanny car looked at the huge crowd around the stadium and felt a lot of emotion in their hearts, knowing that there were still many hours before the start of the game, and they went in early to make up and rehearse and so on.
Since it is a special passage, there is no such thing as getting off the bus and being surrounded by fans.
However, fans soon gathered around, cheering outside the fence, and some were holding various light signs or banners.
Before entering the passage, Yan Wang waved to the fans on both sides, and the rest of the team members also learned well.
After arriving at the preparation room with the staff, it was time for a long time to put on makeup.
As for the rehearsal, it can't actually be called a rehearsal.
The official knows that professional players can't do all kinds of shows like celebrities, so they don't arrange superfluous things.
The so-called rehearsal is to familiarize yourself with the venue, and it can be regarded as giving the players to adapt to the environment in advance.
When everyone walked to the center of the stadium, they immediately felt their insignificance.
All the seats around are empty, but you can imagine that this dense seat will become a crowded scene when the time comes.
If you're just a spectator, you might be amazed by the spectacle or look forward to the next game.
But as someone who is about to take the stage to compete and receive the attention of the audience, the first thing you may feel is full of pressure.
However, at this time, everyone in WE did not mention this stubble, for fear of putting more pressure on each other.
As the captain of the team, Yan Wang actually noticed the emotions of the team members for the first time.
Like the night and the old thief, they are fine, but the sadness and the duck are not.
In particular, Da Da Ya, who has never entered such a large venue since he was a child, can clearly see how nervous he is during the previous media conference, and his hand holding the microphone is shaking when answering a question......
As the game time approached, the players of WE and Taobo returned to the backstage, and the spectators began to check in one after another.
Almost an hour later, the entire stadium was already full of people, and it looked like a large number of ants were crowding.
At the same time, a promotional video of the summer final and pre-match trash talk are being played in the official live broadcast room to warm up for the next game.
It is worth mentioning that the theme of this year's World Championship is "ONE&ONLY".
After the theme came down, many people translated it as "the chosen one" and put it directly on Jackeylove.
But the birth of King Yan also seems to fit this theme.
So under the intentional guidance of the official, this summer decision seems to have decided who is the "only one chosen by heaven".
β¦β¦
When there were 30 seconds left before the start of the game, the large screens in the center of the stadium lit up the countdown.
As the numbers got smaller and smaller, the audience in the arena fell silent as if they had made an appointment.
Until the number becomes "10", and every time it beats, there is a sound that resounds throughout the audience and gorgeous special effects.
The audience's emotions were suddenly lifted, and the countdown was shouted loudly.
After the loudest "1", cool and shocking special effects covered the whole field, and then "shaped" the carefully designed playing field in the center.
Finally, the music sounded, and the highest honor of LPL - the Silver Dragon Cup slowly rose in the center of the stage.
Then there was an awkward dance in the center of the stage by the officially invited people, but fortunately, this link passed quickly.
"Dear League of Legends summoners and all kinds of good friends who are watching the live broadcast, thank you all for coming to the 2022 League of Legends Pro League Summer Finals game!"
"Now we are in the center of Shanghai Stadium to usher in the championship battle for the final belonging of the Silver Dragon Cup! Dear more than 70,000 players who have come to this day, give us the most enthusiastic cheers!
β
Although Liu Hang was ridiculed as a wedding host, his ability to mobilize the audience's emotions is still very top.
At this time, there was a shout on the field, and the players of both teams who were preparing to play in the background could hear it clearly.
"Brother Yan, I'm a little nervous, what should I do......"
Yan Wangyan glanced at Da Duck, who seemed to be shaking his legs, and stretched out his hand to put it in the air.
"Continue to win 3-0."
Seeing this, several teammates gathered around and folded their hands in turn.
"Three to Zero...... Come on! β
As the cheering fell, everyone had smiles on their faces.
β¦β¦
"First of all, let's welcome w-e!
β
At the same time as the cheers rang out, a clip of the WE full competition was projected on the center of the stage.
Taking advantage of this time, the five of them walked from the backstage to the stage, and then stood in the corresponding position.
"Order, King Yan!"
At this time, the camera shows Yan Wang, who is waving, and behind him there is a stone pillar showing the road.
At the same time, there was a burst of cheers on the field, showing his good popularity.
"Jungler, sad!"
"Midway, Night!"
ββ¦β¦β
After each position is introduced in turn, it is the turn of the Boom.
Although we is a veteran e-sports giant, it has not had good results all year round, and its past glory and old bottom are about to be lost.
So when the host reads the beat, it is obvious that the voice on the field is louder.
When the players on both sides were introduced, all the players walked to the middle of the stage and stood on both sides of the Silver Dragon Cup.
"The new teams and the old powerhouses are about to start their efforts for the Silver Dragon Cup."
"Now I will announce the start of the 2022 League of Legends Pro League Summer Finals!
β
Amid the cheers, the players from both sides walked into their respective competition rooms.
In order not to let the live audience affect the performance of the players too much, the design of the competition room allows the players to not see the situation in front of them and around them, so that they can relatively focus on the game and not be affected by the large number of spectators.
But it's only relatively influential.
Don't look at Yan Wang's calm appearance, but he still overestimated his heart.
When he walked out of the backstage and saw tens of thousands of people and heard their voices, his head was actually hot and he couldn't think.
When I was in high school, 1,000 people in a grade could quickly fill the playground, and I felt very uncomfortable being stared at by the whole grade.
Now the people looking at him are more than 70 times the size of a grade, so you can imagine how big the impact is.
But once you enter the competition room, it is much better, and sitting in front of the computer is like returning home.
β¦β¦
"Good evening, everyone, after watching the wonderful opening ceremony, welcome to the commentary seat, hello everyone, I'm Zeyuan."
ββ¦β¦ I'm 957. β
ββ¦β¦ I'm Miller. β
"This time I also came to the scene to explain after a long time, and the atmosphere was directly full."
"Yes, I can finally explain it in a different place haha."
In the past, every LPL game was actually narrated on the spot, and the commentary seats were generally located on the second floor of the venue, which was a very good viewing position.
Soon the three commentators began to discuss the game.
"The two teams actually played BO5 once in the previous upper bracket, and the two sides know each other a little bit." Guan Zeyuan said.
"I feel that it is a one-sided knowledge of the roots, and there is a point of King Yan in we, which may not necessarily take out everything."
As a former WE player, 957 is still biased towards WE.
"With the experience of the last defeat, Taobo may have figured out a way to target WE or Yan Wang, and at the same time, for WE, their current game experience may be weaker than Taobo, which is also a point that affects the outcome of the game."
Although 957 thinks that we can win, and gives WE a three-to-zero fight in the commentary prediction, but as a commentator, you must not say who will win, otherwise the suspense will be gone, and the audience will not be watching.
"Today's Taobo is a direct start to the sunny day, and I feel that this appearance on the sunny day today will not be a miracle of the white crescent."
At this time, Miller talked about today's Tao Bo's hand suddenly changed to the road, and everyone speculated whether this would be the hole card they used to target Yan Wang, otherwise why suddenly changed to the road.
You must know that Sunny Day has not played a few games in this summer game, and the game experience is pitiful.
"Yes, in terms of today's side picking, we are first on the blue side, and then on the red side, so in this situation where there are a few canters, it is indeed possible that the sunny sky will appear as a secret weapon."
The finals are different from the playoffs, although they are all BO5, but there is no loser to choose sides, and the two sides take turns to exchange red and blue sides.
At this time, the camera of the game scene began to give the players, some expressionless, some smiling.
He has been showing his cold and hard face in the game, and this time he brought an unprecedented smile, because he felt that the atmosphere in the team was relatively tense, and if he, the captain, still had a cold face, it would easily affect the mentality of the players.
"I can see that King Yan is still relatively relaxed, I don't know if his first appearance on such a big stage will affect his stable and terrifying performance."
"Speaking of King Yan, he had to dominate the Hanbok list two days in advance, we all know that EDG has the title of a 5,000-point team, this is because the five members of their team usually maintain the Hanbok rank, and the five of them together have 5,000 points all year round."
Guan Zeyuan raised five fingers as he spoke, and then continued:
"This score is very high among all teams, and Yan Wang has five numbers per person, each number has two thousand points, and one person has 10,000 points!"
Guan Zeyuan smacked his lips when he said this, and put down a finger that had been erected.
Although some viewers knew about Yan Wang's dominance of Hanbok, they really hadn't compared it with the rest of the teams, but now after Guan Zeyuan said it, they suddenly felt that this number seemed a bit outrageous.
"It's okay for one person to top two EDGs."
"EDG: the Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?!"
"Laughing to death, King Yan has five doinbs on one number."
"Yan Shao's rank quantity and quality have to be served, and the perfect player in his mind belongs to yes."
ββ¦β¦β
With the discussion of the three commentators, the BP of the game soon began in earnest.
Then the first three bans of the Tao Bo were beyond the expectations of the commentary and many viewers.
"The first three bans didn't choose to be on the road, is King Yan's sword Ji going to be released?"
"But apparently the Tao Bo was deliberately released, I don't know if we will ...... Oh locked! We directly choose the sword girl! β
At this time, there was a burst of shouts on the field, and it was obvious that the audience at the scene was very satisfied with this scene that smelled of gunpowder.
"We are still as confident as ever, no matter what traps lie ahead, I will break them with one sword!"
Back to BP, we are still the heroes who are forbidden to go off the road as before, Delaiwen, Lucian, and skateboarding shoes are banned.
But the election of Tao Bo was unexpected, and he took out the unruly joy - Nila.
This hero, who just came out this year, is positioned a bit similar to Shamira, like a warrior AD, who needs to protrude from people's faces.
Then Tao Bo second-hand took out Wei, we chose to take out the fox to grab the ban, not to give the fox and Wei this powerful combination, and the third choice took out the version of the monkey.
But in this way, Taobo can target We's next road, and sure enough, after Taobo took out Amumu in the third choice, he gave the last two bans to Lulu and Renata.
These two soft auxiliaries are a ban,Then we can basically only choose to play hard auxiliaryγ
Seeing this, some viewers understand that they may want to exchange the ban position on the top lane for the BP advantage on the bottom lane.
In the end, we chose the lower lane combination of Zeli and the bull head, and this bull head was selected more to protect Zeli.
Although the BP of the two sides has a lot of twists and turns, it is actually an exchange.
Tao Bo made WE take out the sword and monkey, and also lost the combination of fox and Wei.
At the same time, it also made the rock sparrow, the hero who restrained their lineup, unable to be selected, and we had to ban it ourselves.
Instead of studying how to target King Yan, it is better to study how to target King Yan's sword concubine.
It's a little more promising than the former or the latter, because when the point of Kenji doesn't change, their BP has more room to operate.
At this time, the lineups of both sides have been decided.
WE (blue side) vs TES (red side)
On the road: Kenji vs Nal
Jungler: Monkey vs Vi
Mid lane: Fox vs Ice Girl
Bottom lane: Zeri vs Nila
Support: Bull Head vs Titan
β¦β¦
As the players from both sides enter the Summoner's Canyon, the promotional posters of the players are reflected in the sky of the canyon.
The audience, who had been quiet just now, suddenly shouted one after another.
"We-come on!"
"Boom - come on!"
The shouting volume of the two teams is about the same, and I don't know if there are people who are repeatedly jumping sideways between the two teams......
At this time, the players who wore headphones and could hear the deafening cheering sound silently clenched the mouse.
β¦β¦
The two sides started normally, with the monkey brushing from the bottom to the top, and the celestial brushing from the top.
One wants to help, and the other wants to help.
Because the upper and lower lanes are bound to be fiercely contested, the upper lane is due to the player's personal style, and the lower lane is due to the aggressive combination of the duo in the lower lane.
Yan Wang, who was on the road at this time, noticed Nar's obscene style that he would rather not eat experience than be consumed by blood, and knew that this Nar was given a task and wanted to delay his own development, so the fishing Dafa was likely to not work.
Then I can't blame me......
"Sadness!"
"The little ones are here!"
"......" Yan Wang didn't expect that he could still be sad at this time, but it may be that it is at this time that he will take the initiative to activate the atmosphere.
"Pay attention to the vision, wait for my notice, old thief, you should pay attention when you go down......"
