The discussion was divided into two factions.

One faction thinks the staff is.

"IG lost to TL? Are you dreaming, who hasn't watched the IG in the finals? You mean RNG is weaker than TL? ”

"It is estimated that it is the staff of EDG, who deliberately came out to lead the war!"

"Really, I believe you when you say RNG, you say IG loses to TL, it doesn't make sense, it really doesn't make sense."

On the other hand, the staff is convinced that they are telling the truth.

"It's normal, every year there are always teams that don't adapt to the version of the World Championship, don't you know if you look at the EDG of S6 and S7, what's the use of the No. 1 seed? It's just that the civil war is strong, and it may be better to go abroad than RNG! ”

"Isn't it, China has R, and those who don't support RNG are not worthy of being Chinese!"

"I feel that the state of IG has been really bad recently, and it can be seen from the ranking, except for handsome, the ranking effect of several IG players is not good, and there is no time difference in South Korea!"

Regarding the remarks about IG's loss to TL, at first the talk was quite boiling.

Later, no one clarified this matter, and the heat of the World Finals gradually passed.

Still.

The attention of the World Championship itself is relatively high, and the audience and fans are also more concerned about this aspect, and it is really normal to have a rhythm.

……

In addition to the attention of the world competition itself, Riot is once again out of the circle.

The theme song "RISE" of the first-hand world championship directly ignited the sky.

Forget about the song.

Mainly the MV, which has also become a classic.

At the beginning of the MV, a half-draped red cloak flutters in the wind, hanging on the body of the person in front of him, his eyes are condensed, and he holds three weapons in his hands, yellow iron claws, delicate shiny iron shields, and blue-green glowing staffs.

After careful analysis by netizens, it was found that this is the hook of the robot, the shield in Leona's hand, and the staff in the hand of Valoran's shield.

It just corresponds to last year's World Finals, the robots, Leona and Tariq used by Liu Shuai in the finals.

After seeing the analysis of this scene, netizens also called out the details.

Next, the MV screen turned to a barren land full of flags.

On the flag, the logos of the previous World Championship teams are displayed.

Immediately afterwards, everything in the picture, another character appeared, which can be seen from the chest, that is the team logo of C9, and the character corresponds to Sindra of League of Legends.

This is the signature hero.

And with the music, the picture continues.

After 300 rounds of battle between the man in red and Sindra on an island, Sindra was wounded and died, and the man in red smiled with relief and continued towards the top of the mountain.

Immediately afterwards, the man in red met a flat-headed man with a katana on a grassland.

In terms of styling, it looks like Yasuo, a League of Legends character.

In contrast, G2's mid-laner Perkz.

Symbolically, IG won 3-0 against G2 in the quarterfinals.

The man in red held a turquoise staff and cast a spell in the gloomy sky, quickly cleaning up the small flat head.

It is worth noting that the emerald staff is Nami's weapon, corresponding to the hero that Liu Shuai used in the final game when IG eliminated G2 - Nami.

After killing Perkz's Yasuo, a blue lightning bolt flashed out of the sky!

This blue lightning, in the analysis of netizens, did not parse anything, the most said is that the lightning represents Kenan, and the hero of cuvee is Kenan.

But this statement is not very reasonable, because IG only met SSG in the final, and now it is out of lightning, which does not fit the theme of "climbing".

Immediately afterward, the image flashes to the mountain peak with a glacier.

And this is the beginning of the real climb!

On top of the MV, the glacier is constantly cresticing and slipping, and countless climbers fall from the mountain in the process.

This means that those professional players with dreams keep trying to climb and keep failing.

After the glacier, you enter a lava field.

A man with a giant hammer in his hand who looks like Councillor Tallis appears!

Jace fired two shots at the man in red, and the last hammer, with a flash of gold, Jace was smashed to the bottom of the mountain by his own hammer.

Jace here should refer to the top laner Khan of LZ against IG in the S7 semifinals.

Finally, the man in red was still climbing, followed by Fiona, the Troll, the Barrel, the Enchantress, and Varus.

There is no Bard in the picture because the man in red himself represents Bard.

And these five are also obvious, representing the champion skins chosen by Theshy, Duke, and Ni.

As soon as the picture turned, these six people appeared on a flat ground in the middle of the mountain, and on the flat ground, there were six statues.

The chest of the statue shone brightly.

The orange glow represents the S1 World Champion FNC.

The white and red glow represents the S2 World Champion TPA.

There are three red rays, representing the S3, S5 and S6 world champions SKT.

There is also a dark statue that represents the S4 World Champion SSW, which means that the dissolution of Samsung and the dissipation of the light.

Six people came to the center of the statue position, behind a statue that marked SKT, and suddenly came out a melon skin holding a magic book and carrying an ancient scroll!

That's right, this person's model is designed with Ryz.

But it's not hard to see that the face is faker's appearance.

After Faker's appearance, the most eye-catching thing is the team crest on the shoulder, which reads SKT and is painted with three stars, representing the Triple Crown.

At this time, the book in Faker's hand in the animation kept turning the pages, and at the moment of closing, Faker's eyes were hideous, and his hair was floating back with the magic, and the next moment, Faker threw out the magic book in his hand, and then saw the man in red who was summoned by the magic book Ruiz imprisoned in the formation with W!

The man in red suddenly felt the power of the wind, and a tornado appeared at the far end, blowing away the formation cast by Faker's Ruiz!

Tornado, representing the Wind Girl.

And the Wind Girl is the hero that Liu Shuai once used against SKT in the group stage!

After Ruiz's formation was broken, the ruler who climbed up from the other side wanted to take advantage of the serious injury of the man in red and leave his mark on the statue.

But unfortunately, at the last moment, the man in red burst out a golden arc of magical energy from his body, directly blasting the ruler into the valley!

Then, the man in red looked at the statue in front of him with a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth.

On top of the statue, the familiar black and white team logo slowly appeared - IG!

At this moment, the statue emitted endless light, and a huge championship trophy appeared in the sky.

At the foot of the mountain, four climbers looked up.

They represent the No. 1 seed in each region, KT in the LCK, TL and LC in the LA region, and FW in the LMS region.

The picture stops and the music video ends.

This MV is paired with the explosive rise, which makes countless hot-blooded teenagers feel surging!

"It's a game company, and the music is so good!

”

"This theme is really good, climber, the protagonist handsome slowly climbed up from the group stage, first met C9 and G2, then met LZ, and finally met Ruler, during which Brother Li's melon skin was played, hahaha This MV is really good!"

"That ruler laughed at me in the last scene, I just climbed up, but I was caught in a light second, hahahaha!"

"I feel that the fight between Handsome and Brother Li is the most dazzling, and Ruiz's magic is dissolved by a tornado, so meaningful!"

"If you don't understand, just ask, doesn't RNG have any players, how can it be the top four!"

"If you don't understand, just ask, what champion are you? You're going to play?! ”

"The last scene is amazing, with a World Championship trophy projected directly on the screen in the statue, and then the No. 1 seeds in each region below look up, which means that the new challengers at the foot of the mountain are coveting this year's championship trophy."

"I deliberately put kt halfway up the mountain, is the fist hinting at something?"

“……”

The music has been well received, and with this very attentive MV, the audience is looking forward to Riot's music works more and more.

It's like the audience complained, as a game company, the music is even better than the game, it's just too much!

And after watching this MV, the audience is even more looking forward to the S8 World Championship.

……

October 10th.

Haeundae-gu, Busan, South Korea.

Busan Convention & Exhibition Center.

The EXCO Professional Showroom is a single-storey column-free exhibition hall with an area of 26,508 square meters.

Equipped with all the cutting-edge equipment necessary for exhibitions, a wide range of events can be held using movable partition walls.

It can be used not only for international and domestic exhibitions, but also for large-scale conferences, performances, corporate promotions and sports events.

There is also a large exhibition hall outside.

It is used for various outdoor performances as well as promotional activities.

And this venue is the venue for the League of Legends group stage!

The exhibition hall outside the venue is filled with various cos and exhibition costumes, including cheers for your favorite team.

Of course, this is a local competition in South Korea, and most of the exhibitions are local teams, such as KT, which is the most popular this year, which has become the main exhibition hit.

Inside the venue, a dedicated event table was built.

There are also temporary backstage passages, dressing rooms, including the tables of the auditorium.

The audience was very lively.

Because of the first game of the opening ceremony, there was KT!

KT vs. TL.

KT, which has a super high popularity, not only local audiences, but also many viewers in LPL support this team.

After all, Mata, Deft, and Pawn on the team have all played for the LPL.

However, before the opening ceremony, the IG players stood in the center of the stage with their heads held high, dressed in white, and began the ceremony of returning the trophy to the defending champion!

After the ceremony, the match began quickly as both sides warmed up.

Although in the play-in tournament, there have been some versions of the answer.

However, the understanding of the play-in tournament is still different from that of the official competition.

For example, in the play-in tournament, the upper lane is biased towards the collision of meat tans, and what Sain and Orn play frequently, and the main strategic field is placed in the middle and lower lanes.

Moreover, a large part of the team is the core of the core who will choose the wild core and the lower lane, and even the middle lane will play support roles.

But in the main game, the BP in the first game has already shown a difference.

KT chose a more offensive lineup: Sword Demon in the upper lane, Qianjue in the jungler, Sindra in the middle lane, and Xia + Hammerstone in the lower lane.

TL is relatively conservative: top lane Urgat, jungler keg, mid lane Ruiz, bottom lane Kaisha + Low.

Ricks, the hero, rarely plays in the play-in.

Except for individual teams, Jungler Qianjue has not been able to form the mainstream.

The current two teams may not have understood the version thoroughly, but at least the version is in the right direction.

In this version, in addition to the individual strength of the right lane, the value of each way is very high.

It's not like the S6, S7 tank Phantom version anymore.

The game begins.

At 2 minutes and 06 seconds, KT Jungler Score came directly to the wild area of TL Jungler Barrel after playing red.

In the early stage of the wild area confrontation, the wine barrel was 100% unable to fight with a long-handed AD like Qianjue.

And on the line, KT's lower lane is very fierce and can get the right to the line.

Sindra beats Ruiz is also a good party to get the right to the line.

Sindra, the hero, is himself a mid lane at the line master's level.

With the help of Hammer Stone, Qian Jue easily got this blue buff.

TL jungler xmithie was miserable in the early stage, and could only silently watch her blue being stolen.

After Qian Jue got the red and blue buff very comfortably, he then knocked out the river crab in the lower half of the wild area, and then went to the road to get the river crab, and the double river crab was controlled, and the rhythm in the early stage was also very comfortable.

And the lower road is also a pure line gap.

There is no way to match the TL bottom lane with KT.

This version takes Kaisha, and the line is really weak.

For example, in the LPL division, top ADC players like Uzi who are proficient in Kaisha don't take this hero in this version.

It's not that this version of Kai'Sa can't be played, it's just that the strength of the line is not enough, and if it explodes in the early stage, it won't have any effect in the middle and late stages.

The time came to 5 minutes and 14 seconds, Mr. Dai went home to make up for the state, and Mata Hammer Stone wanted to help Mr. Dai control the line, at this time, the TL bottom lane duo was not happy.

Because the TL down the road itself was beaten home five minutes ago over a wave.

They lost the lane, and if this wave of troops was stuck, the development of the lower lane would be bigger and bigger.

So even if TL is not in good shape on the lower lane, drive Hammerstone and let him put the line into the tower.

However, the hammer stone did not retreat but advanced, and Qianjue also came from the triangle grass.

At this time, it seems that TL has a murderous intention against Hammerstone, but in fact, it is all under KT's control.

Mata decisively flashed E to trigger his own aftershocks, allowing his double resistance to be blessed instantly, and TL was not a threat to him in the first place.

At this time, Score's Qianjue has come to the next road.

QE hung up and slowed down, and W turned on and dropped Kai'Sa in seconds.

At this time, Mid Lane Ruiz's teleportation lit up, and finally forced a flash of score.

However, a wave of operations in the middle of Ruiz made the audience have a little cerebral hemorrhage.

After flashing W to fix Qianjue, the Q skill was missed, and the spell surge of the E skill that entered the tower spread from the creep to Qianjue, and the second Q didn't even hit the creep......

This wave of Ruiz was transmitted, a wave of pure loss.

Not only is his double move gone, but this wave of operations has also caused some problems in the mentality of the players themselves.

At 6 minutes and 02 seconds, there was a battle on the road.

Impact is not false to the line, and even played a little advantage, before the arrival of Sindra in the middle lane, Impact even knocked out the resurrection of the Sword Demon, but then Sindra arrived, and after the Sword Demon moved and resurrected, Impact was killed by two people.

From this wave, KT began its own snowball rhythm.

At 8 minutes and 39 seconds, KT Nakano linked and caught the Pobelter in the middle again.

With the three-way momentum, at 10:04, KT got the first water dragon.

At 16 minutes and 33 seconds, a large-scale team battle broke out on both sides because of the fire dragon.

The Sword Demon and Urgart both teleported down.

After this wave of TL grabbed Xiaolong, he directly chose to retreat, and Urgat was sold instead.

At 19:08, Hammerstone catches TL Jungler Barrel in the jungle.

At 21 minutes and 32 seconds, TL was obviously inexperienced in doing Dalong's vision, which led to the two brothers in the wild area being arrested, and KT successfully won Dalong.

For the next period of time, it's the torture bureau of KT.

TL's patience was also visibly annoying.

While KT's style is better at fighting, they also bring some operational elements to it.

At 26 minutes and 28 seconds, a wave of decisive team battles made TL completely disintegrate.

With the middle and upper two lanes being broken, KT got an absolute advantage.

In 31 minutes and 49 seconds, KT destroyed TL's base and won the first victory!

The victory in this game made the atmosphere at South Korea's home stadium in full swing.
