Playing South Korea as our home turf.

What would that look like?

As everyone knows.

Since the birth of the S competition, except for the first North American self-entertainment, the Korean team has won almost all the championship trophies of the S competition.

Not only did they win the championship at their home stadium, but they also eliminated them mercilessly at the home stadium of other teams abroad countless times to win the championship.

Step on the bones of countless home teams and stand on top of the world!

Arguably.

The reason why the South Korean team is so "hated" and frightening, and even a large-scale "Koreanphobia" phenomenon has appeared, is entirely because of their unscrupulous and invincible massacres in recent years.

Playing South Korea's home stadium as their own home stadium.

There is only one way, and that is to kill all the Korean teams, eliminate them, and even torture them in blood!

In the past, only the Korean team abused other home teams, how could there be times when teams from other regions abused the Korean team?

Xu Cheng's words seemed to open the door to a new world for everyone.

Let everyone in the bus be quiet.

"There's... Is it possible? The incense pot swallowed.

"Of course."

Xu Cheng pointed at Meiko.

Tian Ye understood and smiled, "Didn't we defeat them once in S7?" ”

"And... This year, the Korean team has not won an international championship......"

Hearing the sound, everyone was stunned.

Just wanted to say something.

Xu Cheng's gaze suddenly froze.

Everyone else was also attracted by the movement outside the window—

The bus has arrived at the competition venue.

But see the car window at the moment.

It was densely packed and crowded, and at a glance, at least half of them were spectators and fans holding support cards in the LPL division!

South Korea's home stadium, S8 opening ceremony.

The domestic audience accounts for half of it!!

Who's to say there's no home crowd support here?

Who dares to say that the LPL team can't support off the field?

What is everything in front of you?!

There is no need for any rhetoric.

In an instant, an indescribable flame rose in the hearts of everyone in the car.

That's a flame, and it's an unprecedented desire to win!

They want to win, they have to show off their might and defeat all enemies in front of the whole world, on the home turf of South Korea!

"It's your opener debut today, so it's stressful... Come on. ”

RNG and IG said to EDG before parting.

"The game went well." EDG and the others didn't say much, just blessed them.

"The game went well." Everyone nodded.

Separate admissions.

……

Meanwhile.

When several teams in the LPL division entered.

Outside.

Korean Online.

At this moment, it has already set off waves of public opinion.

Several well-known live broadcast platforms of the Korean network have all bombarded the news of the opening ceremony of the S8 without interruption.

In the forum, the hot search for the opening of S8 has reached the first place.

Other news is as fragile as a blank sheet of paper in front of this news.

And the difference with the domestic is that.

In South Korea, the S game is not just broadcast live on the Internet.

Several major TV stations in South Korea will also broadcast simultaneously!

That's the biggest difference between Korea and China.

Here, the esports industry is very developed and receives a lot of attention.

Korean netizens are hotly discussing and looking forward to the grand occasion of this year's S8, which looks like a copy of last year's S7.

It's not just Korean Nets.

Domestic, North America, Europe...

All major regions and countries around the world are ready at this moment, and all kinds of news and heat before the game have all gathered together at the moment when the opening of S8 is approaching, reaching an extreme peak.

Finally.

Under the watchful eye of billions.

4 p.m. Korea time, 3 p.m. in China.

With the countdown to the opening came the number 0.

Bang.

The fist's trademark fist slammed down.

The screen is shattered.

Wow!

The camera goes directly to the center of the Busan Convention and Exhibition Center.

The famous host of the Korean division, the host brother "Roaring Emperor", dressed in a blue suit, his face was flushed, and he walked up from the backstage in high spirits.

"Busan ~~~~~~~!!!"

"You~~~ are !!"

As soon as he came up, the Roaring Emperor showed his unique skills to the global audience.

The high-pitched and loud tenor, the lung capacity is released as if it doesn't need money.

The local audience at the scene, as well as the global audience who are familiar with the Roaring Emperor, all gave a warm and crazy response at this moment!

"Ahhh

"Oh oh oh~~!"

"Hello!! Welcome to Busan! ”

The Roaring Emperor was very satisfied with the reaction of the audience, adjusting his state and emotions as he walked.

Constantly bowing to the audience: "Thank you... Thank you audience, thank you! ”

Then, he said in the most passionate and passionate voice: "Are you ready for the final carnival of 2018, the only legendary event of LOL, the 2018 World Finals?!" ”

“——”

"Ready!!"

"Ahhh

“KT！！ KT！！ ”

The live audience is crazy!

The Roaring Emperor took a deep breath, and the passionate and bloody BGM was echoing.

He said in a complex tone with emotion and a special speciality:

"Every year, the top heroes from all over the world, the legendary players, and those who are proud of the sky, will come to this highest stage with their national division, everyone's hopes and dreams!"

"Their dream is to lift the supreme and irreplaceable Summoner Trophy!"

"But, in the end, there will always be only one champion! There will always be only one God! ”

"Who can become a new legend, a new king, lift the world championship trophy that the whole world dreams of this year, and become the world champion..."

"The finalists are ready to go for the finals – Incheon Munhak Stadium! Let's look forward to it together! ”

After a pause, the Roaring Emperor turned his back to the audience.

He raised his palm forward.

A prelude sounded that made everyone's scalps tingle-

2018 World Finals Theme Song, RISE!

Rang!

A promotional video for this year's S competition appeared on the big screen.

Mainly, it is the famous scene of the previous S competition champions winning the cup.

The video is short and fast.

came to S7, the scene of EDG's five people holding a cup of bird's nest in high spirits.

"Now, let's ask the No. 1 seed in the LPL region, Team EDG, to return the trophy !!"

Please EDG, return the trophy!

As soon as this sentence came out.

Countless smoke suddenly erupted from behind the field.

In the mist, a familiar figure in a black team jersey, holding a delicate and gorgeous trophy in both hands, walked onto the stage.

As the figure walked in step by step, Xu Cheng's face also appeared in front of the eyes of the global audience.

Moment.

The entire Busan scene is boiling!

"Ahhh

“Murder！！ Murder！！ ”

"Oba!! Oba is handsome, handsome! ”

"Xu Cheng Oba!! Why not Koreans!! You're Korean!! ”

"Oba I love you!! Oba continues Caryy today! ”

“……！”

The reaction of the audience exceeded everyone's expectations.

Including Xu Cheng and South Korean officials!

Xu Cheng's popularity.

It's too high!

He actually has such a high popularity in South Korea!

This is something that everyone is very shocked about.

As everyone knows.

South Korea has always been a small-bellied people, and they have always looked down on anyone, and it is even more difficult for them to recognize anyone's true strength.

But...

This law, in front of Xu Cheng, seems to have been broken.

Xu Cheng just appeared on the stage, and as soon as his face appeared, he was in South Korea, which caused a great response!

This is something that is almost impossible to achieve in the eyes of many people, and even more shocking than Xu Cheng Tianxiu's operation!

Feat!

on stage.

Xu Cheng held the trophy in his hand.

This is the ultimate glory that all professional players in the world have been dreaming of all their lives.

It was held in his hands like this.

At least for now, this trophy belongs to him for the time being.

He was stunned, but he was used to seeing the big scene, so he walked to the center of the stage very calmly, the podium where the summoner's trophy was to be placed.

"Now, please EDG team player, Murder, return the summoner trophy!!"

The Roaring Emperor spoke in an impassioned tone and shouted loudly again.

The enthusiasm between the tones, coupled with the S8 theme song on the field, the whole scene has exploded!

Xu Cheng raised the summoner trophy in his hand.

Showed it to a global audience.

Whoa!

"Ahhh

"Return! Return! ”

"Buddha!!"

"Return! Return!!! ”

Although there are still many "traitors", more Korean audiences are roaring hoarsely.

Let Xu Cheng return this summoner trophy!

Yes.

It's time to return it!

The S Championship Trophy never belongs to a single person or team.

It just stays in the strongest team for a year.

Throughout the past 8 years, time has been rushing.

Someone who can leave a mark on this Summoner's Trophy.

Only the name of the team that won the world championship every year engraved on the base of the trophy, as well as the player ID...

At this moment, facing the shouts of countless Korean audiences off the field.

Facing the pressure of the crowd.

Xu Cheng's mood is very complicated.

He didn't understand before.

SKT has already won the triple crown, so why should they keep clinging to the championship of the S competition?

Faker has won three championships, why is it so reluctant to return the trophy every time he returns it...

Now, he finally understood...

This feeling, if you don't get to this point and don't become a party, will never be able to understand.

That's a...

Your own glory is about to leave your senses.

And this departure, for 99.9% of the people, is goodbye!

Never again!

Faker has won three championships, but he... It's only been for three years that I've only kept this summoner's trophy!

Less EDG, only a year!

It's not hot yet!

But... Is my glory ever farewell?

Xu Cheng's eyes were stunned, and his arm did not fall for a long time.

The dragon slayer boy will eventually become an evil dragon...

"Please! EDG player, Murder, return the summoner trophy!! ”

The Roaring Emperor roared for the third time, shouting!!

This tone is already a little childish anger and madness!

After all...

Before last year, this summoner trophy had long been regarded by Koreans as their highest glory, a glory that would never disappear for a lifetime.

It's like being your own child.

And your own child was suddenly abducted by someone else for a year, how happy would you be?!

The Roaring Emperor is angry, and the Korean audience is also angry!

Return the trophy!

Xu Cheng didn't hesitate, and decisively put this summoner trophy firmly on the podium.

"Ahh

"Victory! Win! ”

“KT！ KT！ ”

“EDG！！ Come on!! Get it back! ”

"Put this trophy here for you to keep for a while, and we'll get it back later!"

The scene in Busan is chaotic and boiling!

Emperor Roaring also breathed a sigh of relief, as soon as Xu Cheng's trophy was put down, it was still placed in South Korea.

Then don't think about taking it again.

"Thanks Murder! Return the trophy!! ”

"Thank you EDG, thank you Murder, thank you!"

The Roaring Emperor shouted, already having the intention of driving people away.

Xu Cheng didn't want to stay longer.

He turned his head to look at the spotlight again, like a treasure in the world, the only exquisite trophy.

Want to actually own this summoner trophy.

Just keep winning!

I'll get you back again.

It won't take long.

Soon, soon!

On the other side, the solemn and sacred BGM on the field has finally disappeared.

The Roaring Emperor walked over to the Summoner Trophy with a look of emotion.

"Over the past few years, the strongest players and strongest teams in the history of the league have engraved their names on this legendary World Championship trophy. ”

"And this year... The strongest clubs from 14 different regions around the world. Who will be the next new king, the next legend..."

"Maybe it's going to be a completely unfamiliar face, or maybe... It's a familiar face that everyone is familiar with..."

"But whoever it is, let's stay tuned!"

"Wow!!"

The field was boiling.

The camera pans away from the Roaring Emperor.

came to the center of the stage, on the shining Zhong'an sustained release trophy in the spotlight.

Zoom in close-up.

The whole body is silvery-white, and the azure blue crystal is inlaid on it, and the whole is like a silver dragon.

At the head of the dragon are two turquoise crystals.

The gloom spits out light.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were a little stinging.

The dragon roars and roars, and the glory of the summoner's trophy is dazzling and rare in the world!

"Okay, the EDG team has returned the trophy, so now, let's welcome the representatives of the sixteen teams that advanced to the 2018 World Finals this year——"

The Roaring Emperor took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "First of all, let's welcome, the overall champion of the last S competition, the winner of the FMVP position in the top laner, the world's No. 1 Carry, the world's No. 1 toplaner, and the one who just returned the trophy - Murder!! ”

There was a sensation and an uproar.

Xu Cheng, who had just stepped down, took the stage again.

stood calmly and calmly in the center of the stage.

Wave your hand to the audience.

The scene, which was just a sensation before, suddenly exploded!

"Ahhh

“Murder！ Murder！ Murder！！ ”

"Buddha!! Buddha!! ”

"Buddha is awesome!! Buddha is invincible!! ”

"Ahh Oba!! ”

The Korean audience once again proved how terrifying Heo Cheng's popularity is, and the world's recognized No. 1 toplaner today.

In their minds, it may be second only to Faker in their own country.

Emperor Roaring himself also had a very good impression of Xu Cheng.

Just now, it was just the blessing of national feelings, and at this moment, EDG has returned the trophy, and its tone is naturally much softer.

Said: "Yes... Standing at the center of the stage now is the man everyone knows..."

"Every time he acts, it will cause screams and carnivals all over the world, and every time he appears, countless viewers can't help themselves."

"He's the embodiment of the operation, and he's the ultimate in edge... Let's shout out his ID together—"

“Murder！！”

Wow!

The scene exploded, and it was out of control.

Afterwards.

The representatives of the other fifteen top teams in the world also appeared in turn.

But except for the three teams in South Korea, there is no one who can have the support of Xu Cheng.

The grand debut introduction is over.

Then the opening ceremony of the 2018 World Finals began on the big screen and live.

Half an hour later.

When everything is ready.

Switch to the director's camera.

I went straight to the front of the commentary seat.

……

"Welcome to the opening match of the first day of the group stage of the 2018 World Finals, this is Busan, South Korea, hello everyone, I'm Zewon."

"I'm Haokai."

"I'm Rita......"

LPL Commentary Seat.

Three familiar commentators appeared in front of the camera.

At the end of the enthusiastic opening ceremony, several people are obviously in a bit of a mood now, very excited and excited.

"Finally... It's time to wait! ”

Standing high in the comment booth, looking down at the dense crowd below.

Guan Zeyuan let out a breath from the bottom of his heart.

More than a year of waiting.

Since the moment S7 ended last year, viewers and commentaries around the world have been waiting.

Waiting for this moment to come!

The opening of the S8!

If you use a whole year's events as an analogy.

So throughout the year, all the events are appetizers, leftovers, and mats for the final palace-level feast at the end of the year!

Only the final S Race is the real world race that everyone cares about and looks forward to the most!

Last year, his favorite Samsung was eliminated on the stage of the quarterfinals.

After a whole year of hard work and struggle, this year's Samsung finally broke into the S competition again.

Their fate...

Is it possible to rephrase?

"Yes, after more than a year, more than a year of hard work, countless sweat and hard work, I finally returned to this stage."

Rita next to her said, "I believe... For the sixteen teams that have advanced this year, this moment is undoubtedly happy and satisfying. ”

"It's also tense and warlike!"

Hao Kai said: "Every year's S competition is a pinnacle feast of vision and glory, whether you can leave your own chapter and figure in this feast, all of this will be revealed in the next month or so!" ”

Guan Zeyuan nodded and returned to the topic.

"Yes, then we all know that today's first opener will be a matchup between EDG, the No. 1 seed in our region, and AFS, the No. 2 seed in the LCK's home division."

"Both teams have high hopes from their respective regions and countries, and today should be a battle of dragons and tigers!"

"That's right... As the second seed of South Korea this year, AFS's own strength and form are beyond doubt. ”

Hao Kai said: "The only difficulty now is whether they can hold up on the road." ”

"Uh......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little choked.

Can you hold it up on the road?

That's pretty straightforward, but there's nothing wrong with it.

"Hmm... It's pretty straightforward, but it's really something that AFS needs to face. ”

"Because AFS's opponent, EDG, the top list in the team is Buddha!"

Guan Zeyuan said with emotion:

"Buddha... Last year's S championship FMVP, likewise, also won a whole year of glory, away from the individual Grand Slam, an unprecedented Grand Slam... It's just the last S game left! ”

"Yes, the strength of the Buddha is certain, and judging from EDG's latest event footage, Murder should be in good shape."

Rita talked about Xu Cheng on the stage, and it seemed like that.

"In good shape... So AFS's top laner Kiin, in the Asian Games, actually fought against the Buddha. But the results were not ideal. ”

"I don't know if there will be some other variables in the rematch between the two sides after these months of adjustment and training......

Everyone chatted briefly.

In-ear guide notifications.

At the same time, the camera switch from the field is directly given to the entrances on both sides of the stage.

It didn't take a while.

The EDG crowd led by Xu Cheng, dressed in black uniforms, walked onto the stage in high spirits.

On the other hand, the same is true for the AFS crowd.

Both players have entered!

Guan Zeyuan's hearts suddenly stirred, and their heartbeats began to speed up as if uncontrollably.

ended his last control.

The pilot camera switches again.

Directly came to the front line of the front -

Commentary seats.

2018 World Finals group stage main round, opening match.

It's officially started!
