Time flies by with the eagerness of League of Legends players around the world, and before you know it, the first day of the Grand Finals has arrived.

At 7 p.m. BJ time on October 5, 2021, the opening match of the S11 World Finals officially began.

As with some other major sporting events, the opening match is often a battle between two high-profile teams to give the spectators the best possible viewing experience.

Team RA and HLE, who were placed in the same group, were the two strongest teams in the play-in stage, so it was only natural that they would be their opponents in this opener.

The dispute over which of the two major regions is stronger or weaker has always been a topic of conversation among the audience in each major region, and the strong dialogue between the No. 4 seeds of China and South Korea can also reflect to a certain extent whether the level of competition between the two major regions is at the same level.

Therefore, the opening match between RA and HLE showed a strong smell of gunpowder from before the game.

Before the start of the competition, after a promotional video of the play-in tournament was played, the live camera switched to the commentary seat.

As soon as the commentary lineup of this game was unveiled, some old viewers in the LPL division directly exclaimed in the barrage area:

"I'm super, Sister Mi?"

Old e-sports fans who have been watching the game since ancient times recognized the identity of the female commentator sitting in the official LPL commentary lineup at a glance.

Isn't this Xiaomi, one of the four golden flowers of LPL that year?

In the impression of the old audience, Xiaomi is an extremely pure female commentator who is full of love for LPL.

During the 2014 World Finals, when OMG staged a miracle comeback against FNC with 50 drops of blood, Xiaomi couldn't help but shed tears on the commentary stage.

The scene where she shouted the name of the OMG team with a crying voice at that time has made many viewers remember it deeply.

Pinching his fingers, Xiaomi has faded out of the commentary circle for five or six years.

When I saw Xiaomi appear on the commentary table again, I couldn't help but awaken the ancient memories of many old players for the LPL league.

Xiaocang, Su Xiaoyan, Xiaolou and the football king Bella......

The most unbearable thing is that the football king Bella, who quietly left the field because of the dark operation of the bigwigs behind the scenes.

In the LPL back then, which male audience was not a fan of Bella?

The sonorous and powerful voice of Colonel Guan pulled the audience back to the game scene from their uneasy emotions:

"Okay viewers, welcome to the live broadcast of the S11 World Finals, I am the commentator Zeyuan, today will be brought to you by Xiaomi teacher, remember teacher and I will bring you the live commentary of the first four games of the first day of the play-in tournament."

After a brief self-introduction, Colonel Guan cut straight to the point: "Before the start of this game, just now the two teachers and I also analyzed and compared the strength of the two teams that participated in the opening game, let's listen to the teacher's opinion first." ”

The commentator remembered to take over the topic and said: "Actually, I think these two teams are really similar, especially at the point of mid-laner, both teams are the teams of mid-laner main C, just now Mr. Zeyuan also mentioned that JOJO's style of play is somewhat similar to Chovy's player......"

Speaking of this, Colonel Guan hurriedly interrupted: "Huh? That's not what I said. ”

I remember being stunned for a moment, and then said, "Did I hear me wrong?" You're not talking about JOJO is Chovy's world......"

"I'm talking about the summer game," Guan Zeyuan emphasized word by word, "At that time, I thought the two of them looked very similar in their playing styles. ”

"Oh~" I remember showing an expression that seemed to understand, and then said: "Then you mean, after the baptism of the bubble match, you are more optimistic about JOJO players now, right?" ”

As one of the three onmyoji in the canteen program, Mr. Remember has now changed the stereotype of honesty and honesty in the past, and has become insidious and sleek.

He was obviously pushing Guan Zeyuan into the fire pit.

You must know that Chovy players have a large fan base even in the LPL region.

The title of Shake Yizhong is not groundless.

Looking at him with a malicious face, Colonel Guan had experienced this kind of battle in the canteen, so he calmly explained: "In my opinion, the strength of the two players is very close, whether it is from the performance or data level, I think the two sides should be in a five-five situation." ”

"Well, I agree with that." Colonel Guan didn't jump into the fire pit, but he didn't think about it, and continued to explain his opinion: "Back to the topic just now, why do I think these two teams are somewhat similar, not just because both sides are mid-laner main C. ”

"The second point of RA and Hanwha is also the bottom road."

Speaking of which, RA and HLE still have some origins.

Because the ADCs of both sides have played for the traditional giant EDG team in the LPL, and the AD player Iboy of RA was trained by EDG as the successor of the current HLE AD player Deft.

This opening match between the No. 4 seeds of China and South Korea will not only give the audience an answer to the question of which of the two mid-laners is stronger and weaker.

The showdown between EDG's two generations of AD players is also a highlight.

"Moreover, the road on both sides is a relatively weak link in the team."

Cube players are the shortcomings of the RA team, which the LPL audience can agree on.

And HLE's top laner Morgan is full of stories.

Speaking of Morgan players, we have to mention a famous meme in the esports circle.

That is, the famous "this son must not be put back in the LCK" meme.

Morgan made his debut in the LPL region and has played for JDG and WE teams successively.

His early career performance is still remarkable, especially in the first half of WE, where he has had a relatively good performance.

At that time, the LPL top laner position was in a stage of scarcity, Theshy's competitive level had declined significantly, Bin's performance in Suning's debut was also lackluster, and 369 was still in a promising state in the future.

Therefore, at that time, netizens were still quite optimistic about Morgan, and some people even gave the evaluation of "This son must not be put back in LCK, otherwise there will be big trouble in the future".

What the audience never expected was that the Morgan player would not be able to take on the big task after all, and his performance on the field plummeted, and he fell directly to the bottom of the single food chain on the LPL.

His reputation has also undergone an ultimate reversal, becoming what netizens call "the most popular dish in LPL".

However, even though Morgan has reached this point, he was kindly taken in by the HLE team after returning to the LCK.

Referring to HLE's shortcomings on the road, Colonel Guan has something to say: "When I was sorting out the relevant data of the finalists before the game, I found a rather magical phenomenon. ”

"Chovy's 15-minute deficit in the summer stage is the best place among all Worlds."

In fact, this point does not even need data as a reference, even if the audience can guess blindly.

After all, Chovy is just too good to make up for it.

"Morgan's statistic is the last of all the World Championship players."

As soon as these words came out, the audience in front of the screen directly stopped in Bengbu.

Boy.

Dare to love Morgan, the "world's first dish", was carried into the world competition by "Shake Yizhong" Chovy.
