The time came to September 28, and the countdown to the start of S12 was 2 days.

At the same time, LPL officially released the promotional video of this expedition on various platforms.

Different from the shoddy theme song MV of Riot, LPL officials have put a lot of effort into building momentum for this expedition, and the promotional video is one of them.

You must know that three of the four teams on this trip are all-Chinese classes, and according to the online reaction, this S competition may be the most anticipated in the past.

Therefore, this promotional film should have special effects, narrative and narrative, and burning......

The video begins with an altar that looks like it stands high in the air, with an empty throne in the middle of five giant idols.

Many viewers saw this and immediately understood that this may indicate that no one in the LPL has never sat on this throne yet.

Soon the picture flashes, and a back looks at the mountain peaks in the distance, as if there is something on it that he is looking for.

The vague team logo and figure made the audience recognize that he might be King Yan.

The next few shots are also given to the key characters of each team.

The theme of each team is different, RNG is a memory puzzle, JDG is a mecha, TES is a water sword shrine, and WE is more complicated, but there is undoubtedly only one point, that is, the birth of King Yan.

And it was born in the literal sense, when all the members of the WE were about to fall to the bottom, King Yan led the whole staff to climb to the top of the mountain alone.

It is undoubtedly a symbol of his move to turn the tide in this summer game.

When the video is about to end, the frame is given to the throne at the beginning of the video again.

At this time, there was a figure standing on the side of the throne, and he slowly turned his head to look at the throne, and the LPL logo soon lit up on the throne......

"Climb over this mountain and they'll hear your story!"

The screen slowly darkened, and then changed to the fluttering S12 flag.

……

"There is still something to say about the LPL expedition film, which is 369 times better than that MV."

"I can only say that this video has added n shots to the second creation of WE fans."

"Grass...... King Yan is really not too handsome, [hot] handsome, I am trembling. ”

"I hope I can sit in that position in the end, come on!"

“……”

Yan Wang, who finished a day's training, swiped comments after watching the video.

To be honest, he didn't expect the effect of the video to be quite good, but he felt quite embarrassed when he was filming, with all kinds of contrived movements and expressions.

But after all kinds of processing, coupled with special effects and BGM, it instantly changed from embarrassing to handsome.

And the LPL official is really optimistic about him, and the last shot undoubtedly shows that he is the man closest to the throne.

This official move couldn't help but remind him of the so-called "god-making".

He doesn't believe it to say that there is no official participation in the god-making action over the years, although the "god" depends more on the performance of the contestants themselves, but it definitely needs official promotion, such as some promotional videos or activities, giving more shots or hints, etc.

What are the benefits of this, just refer to some of the star players of international competitions.

It's like you may not have watched football, but you've heard of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

On the one hand, it can increase the popularity of the event itself, but it can also make the event a little more facetable, increase the value ceiling of professional players, and become a template or ceiling.

In the eyes of LPL officials, they undoubtedly have such a potential.

……

"On the first day of the 2022 World Finals Play-In Tournament, the RNG Play-In Tournament Opening Match Preview:

drx vs rng

DRX Familiar Faces New Challenge, Strive for a Good Start! ”

The time came to September 30, the day of the play-in tournament, and at this time there were several games, but as far as the domestic audience was concerned, there was not much attention.

Because there are no LPL teams in it, and there are no particularly famous teams.

They only focus on the matches of their fourth-seeded RNG.

After the official preview, the next match will undoubtedly be RNG vs. DRX, both of whom are the fourth seeds in their respective regions.

"RNG come on, RNG will win!"

"RNG come on, rush rush [call]"

"On the other side of this middle is the former BLG's, AD is the former EDG's, Miao Wow [DOGE]"

"Rush rush! Strive for the finals of the division to have an all-China civil war! ”

"I came back from the library early today and went early in the afternoon, but it didn't start yet, and the efficiency of Europe and the United States is really low."

“……”

Originally, the game was close to noon, but it was delayed until one o'clock in the afternoon.

Amid the sound of some spectators complaining that they couldn't take a nap, the match between RNG and DRX officially began.

The major anchors stayed in the live broadcast room early to provide real-time commentary for the opening battle of this LPL, or accompany the audience to watch the game.

"Xiao Ming Niu is really playing, the first generation of Bull Demon King."

"Little Tiger flashed and didn't arrive!"

"It's better to be stupid than to be wrong! Ahahahaha! ”

In the picture, Xiaohu's enchantress flashed e and did not chain to the opposite Akali, and a jungler tree on the opposite side suddenly appeared on the side.

But the big tree seemed to be in a hurry, and W tied up the passive clone of the demon queen, allowing Xiaohu to escape.

After that, the big tree went to the upper road to squat people.,In the case that the breathing weapon didn't flash the Q.,Because the skill was in a hurry.,Didn't kill the weapon.。

These two waves of arrests immediately ridiculed this big tree to some viewers and anchors who watched the live broadcast.

"Treants? Vegetable! ”

"Good food, this big tree, these two waves are really abstract."

"The King of the Great Mercy Tree"

"EDG's middle and upper, as a result, the jungler chose a big tree, wonderful wow!"

“……”

At the 7-and-a-half-minute point in time, Wei's Wei cooperated with the weapon to catch and kill a wave of sword demons on the road and get a blood.

The weapon that breathed for 13 minutes was on the road and the sword demon was a single sword demon, and then in 16 minutes, Wei caught a wave of sword demons with the weapon again.

So far, RNG has a three-to-zero head advantage, as well as two small dragons.

"Wow, Brother Breath is really confident this time, in the face of the sword demon's backhand, he directly takes the weapon, and he is confident in fighting!"

Wang Duoduo praised in the official live broadcast room.

As long as RNG maintains this momentum, the LPL is off to a good start.

So within two minutes, RNG slapped the audience and the commentator in the face.

I saw that in this wave of team battles of the Listening Card Dragon, the fattest weapon deliberately came out of the ice heart to take over this wave of team battles.

But the weapon didn't control the position of his teammates, and he jumped directly in the face of the small cannon, and the four people in front of DRX decisively turned around and set fire to the weapon.

As soon as the fattest weapon died, the RNG that was forced to take over the group was directly beaten 1 for 5.

In this wave, the situation is flat.

The fattest point is sick, and naturally loses more.

However, next came another wave of small dragon groups, this time it was not Shangshan who was sick, but Uenakano who was sick together.

The trio of them poked their faces into the triangle grass on the road, and were surrounded and killed by the five DRX men, and then sent off a small dragon.

"Huh? This can go in with three people, big brother?! ”

The barrages in the live broadcast rooms became popular, but fortunately, the game was not over yet, and many viewers only complained twice.

At this time, DRX has turned from inferior to superior, and controlled the third electric dragon and started operation, after all, there is a small cannon in it, and RNG must be more urgent.

Then the RNG unexpectedly grabbed the small dragon and a big dragon, and the situation was tied again.

By the time the little dragon refreshed again, both sides already had three little dragons.

RNG took the lead in opening the dragon, and when the fight was about to end, the dragon soul was snatched by the big tree that was throwing his son for the whole game.

At this time, it was a situation of RNG five against three, but after they hesitated for a while, DRX's support already felt that they had lost this wave of team battles and lost this game.

"Congratulations DRX...... In fact, there has always been a saying, don't win the first hand......"

Don't win the first hand?

The audience can ignore these and just spray.

Although the game is in full swing to 4, it is clear that it can rely on the advantages of the front to win this good start.

As a result, he began to get sick later, especially the wave of faces probing the grass, which was in stark contrast to the caution of the sword demon opposite.

This inevitably made some viewers feel that RNG did not take this game well.

"If you win this year's MSI championship, you won't take anyone else's LCK No. 4 seed seriously, right?"

"RNG is now just missing a round of 24 and a title to go to the full slam. I don't expect the champion, can I perform a round of 24. ”

"It's 2022, and DEFT is still beating RNG's AD."

"This is the first gift I received on National Day, and I hope it won't be the last."

"RNG Fried Fish Diary: The First Day of Being Educated by Fish."

"It's a good thing to lose the first hand, and the rest is forgotten, in short, it's a good thing [doge]"

"Every year, there are teams that surprise us, will it be RNG this year, it has cracked."

“……”

The time is soon approaching the night, and the news of RNG's first battle rout has set off waves on the Internet, especially the waves of illness that have been held on by many netizens.

Yan Wang, who watched the video with the team members, felt that the netizens thought that these few times were ill.

】

"I think what RNG should really pay attention to is some processing and decision-making in the early and middle stages, as well as team battle operations."

Yan Wang said in the live broadcast.

"Their advantage in this one is the seduction of the enchantress and the weapon, and then the Wei Gank revitalizes the sideline to create defensive pressure on DRX, but the premise of the division is to stand firm in the middle line, and they didn't do this well."

"For example, this wave of ......"

Yan Wang began to review the video, explaining to the audience that while actually analyzing the teams of both sides, and thinking of some targeted methods.

For example, DRX's one-handed three-way shaking tree and so on.

"Hurry up and call all the RNG staff to come over to listen to the class, see what they are fighting, I don't know and think they just met."

"You think it's a five-player game? Wrong! I also bring my own coach! ”

"Seriously, communication and collaboration, decision-making issues are sometimes quite mysterious, but I seem to see that we rarely have some problems."

"That's, what is the gold content of Yan Sect."

“……”

RNG seems to have really read Yan Wang's analysis, and won all the way in the next play-in round, only DRX in Group B, and there should be no problem in advancing to the group stage.

In the ridicule of some RNG fans "thank Yan Jiao", the play-in tournament is gradually coming to an end.

The remaining three teams in the LPL will also have to travel to the United States early to prepare for the upcoming group stage......
