"Okay, thank you for the commentary, and welcome to the opening match of the first day of the group stage of the 2018 World Finals."

"Hello, everyone, long time no see!"

Doll, Miller, and remember the classic trio, appeared in front of the camera with a smile on their faces.

The doll smiled with a smile on her face: "It's still the three of us who are at the forefront to bring you the latest news of today's opening game!" ”

"Hello everyone, I'm a doll!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Miller!"

"I'm the narrator, remember!"

"Wow... After the commentary in front of the commentary, I believe everyone has a certain degree of understanding of the two sides of today's opening game. ”

The doll looked at Miller.

The latter said: "Well, overall, this opening match is still very important. ”

"That's for sure..."

Doll said: "After all, this is the first unveiling of S8, a good start, I think it is impossible for any team not to want to win the first prize and get a good start, right?" ”

"That's the truth, and for now, I think the opening game is still very good for us......"

Several people briefly analyzed the various strengths of the two sides and the strength and weakness of each position.

In the end, everyone talked about the upper unit.

"The top order... I believe this is the position that everyone is most concerned about right now. ”

The doll looked left and right at her partners on both sides, "Personally, I think... Or does our side have a certain advantage, right? ”

"Uh... It's not a game yet, but... With the strength of the Buddha, I think many people should think so. ”

Miller, who has always been cautious, also nodded and said a word.

"But Kiin isn't to be underestimated."

The one next to him said: "If I'm not mistaken, Kiin is the strongest player in the LCK list this year, right?" ”

"You can't say that."

The doll retorted: "The top orders in this year's LCK should be very strong. ”

This year's top orders in the LCK division, each one is very strong...

This is not flattery or ridicule.

It's a fact.

In the LCK of S8, who are the top list configurations of the three teams that advanced to the S competition?

AFS：Kiin。

KT：Smeb。

Samsung: Cuvee.

Needless to say, Kiin and Cuvee are also old friends.

Xu Cheng has fought with the other party several times.

Moreover, many people in later generations believed that if it weren't for the fact that he couldn't "laugh and enmity" with SKT, he would have a good chance of winning the S championship.

Compared to this, Smeb is much worse than Little Peanut, the little brother in the Tigers.

But because of this, he is also one of the most difficult players in the world.

obviously has the strongest strength, but he failed to win the championship again and again.

Even last year, even the S match tickets that I had already gotten in my hand were snatched away by Samsung...

And last year, who was the LCK's top order configuration?

Khan、Huni、Cuvee…

Except for Cuvee, what kind of stinky fish and rotten shrimp are there?

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that this year's LCK is strong.

Of course.

The reason why everyone cares so much about the strength of the top single position, in addition to Xu Cheng's S7 blockbuster, let everyone improve, and pay attention to the importance of the top single to the game.

More critically.

S8。

He's a version that leans towards Uenakano!

This point is still in a state of ignorance, but we can also faintly see the direction and brilliance of the wind from the fog.

After the semi-finals, S8 is completely a situation where the top single over there is strong, and that side can win!

"It's not so much that S7 is the rise of Shangdan, in fact, I personally feel that this year's S8 is the stage where Shangshan really wants to be famous through the ages and shine in the world..."

Based on the above, Miller made such a prediction and evaluation.

The crowd did not know if his prediction was accurate.

But...

Soon, everyone will know.

If you want to pick the best stage in history.

The S8 will undoubtedly be recognized as the largest top single testing platform.

Reworked Sword Demon, Reworked Akali, Vampire, Sword Queen...

These heroes, especially the first two, will shine on this stage with a light and glory far beyond the other S competitions.

A few commentaries discussed for a while about the strength and weakness of the top order.

It didn't take long for the camera to switch with the director.

The spirits of the crowd were lifted together.

S8 opener BP, it's begun!

this game.

EDG is on the blue side, AFS is on the red side.

As soon as he entered the BP interface, AFS decisively pressed Jian Ji and Jace, the two most iconic heroes of Xu Cheng.

Later, after hesitation, they banned Kai'Sa for the third time.

Kaisha in the LPL division is now notoriously strong, especially Uzi is in EDG, and they don't dare to release it.

EDG on the other side is much more chic.

According to the strengths and weaknesses of the AFS team, they were targeted.

Wait until the first round of bans is over.

EDG on the blue side begins to choose their own heroes.

"I think Qinggang Shadow can!"

The doll is looking forward to this: "It can be seen that AFS really wants to target the Buddha, but... Just because you want to target doesn't mean you can, the sea of heroes of the Buddha is too much! ”

"After Sword Ji and Jace are gone, we can take the Green Steel Shadow!"

"No matter how bad the barrel is, it's okay, anyway, this wave of AFS has been released."

Miller said: "Akali can too, and I think Akali is a key point in the singles competition in this year's S-Tournament. ”

"Akali at the Buddha Asian Games, Flying Thunder... It's still vivid! ”

Hearing Akali's choice, everyone also had some expectations in their hearts.

The Asian Games Flying Thunder God has long been spread all over the world.

This is also Xu Cheng's first new signature hero in S8 after many representative heroes of S7.

But...

The crowd actually forgot.

Xu Cheng has never been the kind of person who "sits and eats nothing".

S8's Akali is strong.

But there is one hero, who is actually stronger than Akali.

It can be called the most outrageous hero of the version, and there is no one.

What 1 to 2, 1 to 3 ...

This hero is played well, the so-called 1 to 5, it has really become a reality!

"Just him."

Xu Cheng said with some expectation and itchy hands.

Neither the coach nor his teammates have a problem with this.

He locked down this hero in seconds-

[Fight like a hero, or die like a coward!] Hahaha......! 】

This is...

Darkspawn Sword Demon –

Aatrox!

Redone Sword Demon and born.

"Sword Demon...! Are you sure? EDG showed the sword demon for the first time! ”

See this hero on the first floor of EDG.

Obviously, everyone didn't expect that Xu Cheng would make this choice in the S8 opener.

After all...

Although the Sword Demon was just redone, it gradually rose to prominence in the professional arena.

However, Xu Cheng himself has rarely used this hero before.

No, not very little, it is not used.

Therefore, many people think that Xu Cheng doesn't like the sword demon very much, the redone top single overlord.

But now.

Xu Cheng and EDG's hand and choice undoubtedly broke this speculation and statement.

Sword Demon.

EDG grabbed it directly!

After seeing EDG directly lock the sword demon in seconds, there was a burst of exaggerated applause and cheers at the scene in Busan.

"Sword Demon! It's confirmed, it's the Sword Demon! ”

"Wow... Really chosen, second lock, grab it! ”

The doll said excitedly:

"Many people think that the Buddha can't play and doesn't like to play sword demons, but I always think it's the opposite. A good hero should appear on the most important stage! ”

"And now, the opening battle of S8 is undoubtedly the most shining stage in the world, on this stage, the Buddha has a showdown, don't pretend, my sword demon is also very strong!!"

"Sword Demon is a good hero! This hero is really good! ”

Miller, next to him, was even more excited.

He didn't care why Xu Cheng didn't use the Sword Demon originally.

All he knew was.

The hero of the Sword Demon is one of the strongest top orders in the version.

The radical style and terrifying team combat ability undoubtedly do not mean that the Darkspawn Sword Demon will be the protagonist of the next month or so.

Xu Cheng, an operational player, is strong in this explosive version.

That...

The road to EDG in this game is much better!

"This hand is beyond everyone's choice, and AFS didn't expect it!"

"They banned a lot of top orders, but they only missed the Sword Demon."

"Kiin should have wanted to choose it himself, so AFS will release the sword demon in this wave, but I didn't expect it... EDG grabbed it first. ”

"It's comfortable, it's comfortable......"

The crowd spoke.

It was unanimously agreed that the choice of the sword demon was a very beautiful resistance battle.

Meanwhile.

The BP on the field is also continuing.

Except for the sword demon, there was no surprise in the selection of people after the two sides.

It's all within everyone's comprehension and expectations.

In the end, the lineups of both sides were decided.

They are:

Blue EDG: Top Single Sword Demon, Jungler Olaf, Middle Single Enchantress, Lower Road Xia + Bull Head.

Red AFS: Top laner Qinggang Shadow, Jungler Prince, Mid laner Sindra, bottom lane small cannon + Luo.

The lineups of both sides are confirmed, and the game screen begins to load.

Here, the commentators and spectators of the major regions around the world also felt some surprise and surprise at the lineup of the two sides in this game.

"This game... I feel that the smell of gunpowder on both sides is very strong! ”

The doll couldn't help but say, "Sword Demon Blue Steel Shadow, Prince Olaf... These are all strong heroes in the early and middle stages! ”

"Yes, except for the development of the lower lane, the other upper midfield positions of the two teams are all strong line hegemon-level heroes in the early stage."

Miller nodded: "And it's a radical stuff one, which... EDG is going to compete with AFS in this game! ”

One race and one radical.

This is no joke, and it is not an exaggeration.

Just look at the lineup comparison on both sides.

Kaminakano, every bastard at all.

Pick this kind of hero, and no bastards are allowed!

The middle and upper two lines will decide the winner in the early line period, because everyone is the line master, and no one will obey anyone.

As for the jungler.

The incense pot chose Olaf.

At first, he must be a little stronger than the prince.

But relatively.

If the incense pot hadn't done much in the limited time in the early stage, the prince of AFS would undoubtedly become the real master.

The only rhythm engine in the arena.

Compared to the functional type, the prince is two excavators stronger than Olaf......

"This game is really a battle of the dragon, and there will be a lot of battles in the early stage."

I remember that after carefully looking at the lineups of both sides, I also nodded: "And the results of the early stage will also directly affect the final outcome of this game!" ”

"That's right... Anyway, the match between the two sides has been settled, the game has begun, and the opening match of the group stage of the 2018 World Championship has begun... Who's going to come out on top, let's enter the Summoner's Rift! ”

The words fell.

The on-field game has officially begun.

The audience resounded with shouts and cheers from fans on both sides.

Overall, AFS is more than twice as high as EDG.

After all, this is South Korea's home turf.

The overall number of EDG's fans and popularity around the world is actually not as exaggerated as the outside world is boasting about now.

The reason why everyone thought that EDG also had fan support in South Korea before.

In fact, most of the reasons are because of Xu Cheng's personal reasons.

But after supporting Xu Cheng as a person, after the two teams met, the Korean audience was still very important.

Support AFS and you're done!

The competition has officially begun.

in this game.

Since both sides were relatively strong in the early stage, as soon as they entered the game, both sides showed a certain degree of aggressiveness and irritability.

Especially on the EDG side.

Although it is said that the lineup on both sides is very strong, in the case that everyone is level 1, EDG with Olaf is naturally superior.

So they are a little more arrogant than the AFS on the other side.

And in the case of taking the first step to seize the view of the river after work, he successfully squatted down to the small cannon of the light enemy in the AFS team!

This crouching is like thunder and fire.

Before the AD of AFS had time to react, most of its own state was directly gone!

When he reacted and flashed + healed, the classic DF second consecutive escaped.

The teammates have just reacted.

That's at this time.

Xu Cheng, who had been looking for an opportunity to cut in, stared at him.

Fell on the small cannon that escaped from the big remnant.

I followed without hesitation!

“EDG！ Squatted up and fired the small cannon!! The little cannon is going to die!! ”

"DF Niren!! The response was quick, but... Sword Demon!! There is no chance in this location!! ”

Outside, the global audience watched this scene nervously.

No one thought of it.

As soon as the match starts, the two sides of the battle will break out into such a fierce conflict.

A wave of teamfights without warning began.

And the location of the sword demon at the moment also made the hearts of all Korean audiences tremble.

Because the sword demon is not far from the small cannon of the DF Second Company!

This location and distance...

Boom!

A flash of voice rang out.

Luo flashed directly from the back to the side of the remnant cannon, like a most loyal guard, blocking in front of him.

Hostile to the EDG crowd in front, and the sword demon who wants to plot against the side!

No chance!

Looked at.

Xu Cheng was a little pity.

This Poirot flashed directly, and the first level must have clicked W.

Even if he flashed through this wave, he couldn't miss the small cannon in a second.

Instead, it will be lifted up by Luo directly.

When the time comes, it will be knocked away by the opposite side.

As soon as the rest of the AFS teammates came over to gather fire, there was no flash, and the clumsy sword demon must go to Hades first...

"Wow... Lo flashed directly! Then we won't have a chance to kill the small cannon in this wave! ”

The outside world is also a series of sighs.

Miller shook his head regretfully.

That position just now is a real opportunity.

It's just that the AFS reacts too quickly.

During the period, it didn't even take a second, for fear that the support would be late, and the small cannon would die.

"It's okay... This wave played three summoner skills, which is basically no worse than a human head. ”

The mentality of the doll is very good.

In fact, it is.

The wave just now, in less than a minute, just a face-to-face effort, EDG knocked out two flashes of AFS and one treatment.

Once the skills of these three summoners are exchanged, they have even exceeded the benefits of one blood.

EDG starts to make a big profit!

The fans of the LPL cheered off the court.

The two sides on the field also began to separate and retreat.

The AFS people have come to their aid.

Then this wave of first-class regiments will not have to fight.

At this moment, a change that no one could have imagined happened.

To be precise, it was the AFS side that was not willing to end this wave of first-class regiments like this.

It's just that they lost so badly.

Before anyone even saw it, the three summoner skills were gone!

Still at the opening game of S8.

Who can withstand this?!

They want to fight back.

But it will definitely not work to force it, at this time the state of the small cannon is too poor, and they can't take advantage of 5V5 at all.

AFS is not a pedantic team, and if you can't beat it head-on, then I'll play a routine with you!

in the big screen.

It can be clearly seen that the AFS five did not leave immediately after withdrawing from the field of vision of EDG.

Instead, the five of them stuck in the field of vision together, and they all rushed to the side and the back!

At first, the crowd didn't understand what they were going to do.

But when they saw the formation of EDG people scattering and retreating, everyone was in an uproar!

"It's... AFS: This is ...... Do they still want to fight?! ”

The doll's eyes widened, and her eyeballs popped out.

"No... This wave of EDG is unconscious, we didn't expect that this wave of AFS is too bold! They got a view from under EDG's nose... EDG can see it when you take a step forward! ”

Miller's face was a little strange, and he couldn't help but say, "But... We didn't see it! ”

"What about this wave... AFS this location... The Sword Demon and the Enchantress are both heading this way! ”

in-game.

After the five EDG retreated, the five were scattered.

Since the first-level regiment had not officially started fighting before, everyone's state almost remained full of blood.

The bottom lane and jungler naturally move in the direction of the jungle.

The middle and upper two leaned towards the middle river.

And it was this move that separated the two mid laners from their teammates at the same time.

The current position of the five AFS people is the only way to squat in the middle single and the top single!

It didn't take a few seconds for the two to walk within range of the AFS five.

2V5, in the case of the first level, is obviously certain to die.

By that time, the AFS got two heads and one blood... That's the salted fish turned over!

"It's over, something might happen this time!"

Miller saw the details clearly, and his breathing was a little unsteady: "Can you go forward!" This wave of AFS is very close to EDG!! ”

"It's already separated, and there's no chance for this wave!"

The next moment.

The EDG five on the field have been completely separated.

This situation also directly announced the success of AFS's plan.

EDG's middle and upper is going to be gone!

"No, then we won't make any money in this wave, but we will lose money!"

The whole person of the doll is not good.

No one thought of it.

AFS turned out to be so bold.

At such a dangerous position and distance, dare to jam the vision.

Once the mistake is seen by EDG, it is not EDG who will kill the two people, but them.

Pity...

There are no ifs and therebes for everything.

AFS got it right and it worked.

AFS is one of the few teams in the South Korean team that dares to play such aggressive tactics!

"Then this wave of AFS is superior, they are not discovered, then we are the ones who will suffer...... Belch!? ”

The voice did not fall.

The accident happened again!

I saw the EDG crowd who had already separated.

The bottom lane duo and jungler trio who are walking in the direction of the lower lane don't know what kind of wind they are pumping.

Meiko, who had fallen behind, looked back.

And also walked over and inserted an eye.

Buzz.

This one eye position instantly illuminates the dark fog of war.

This moment.

The five AFS people who were originally in the field of vision of the limit card all appeared in EDG's field of vision in an instant!

Five people, all discovered!

"Huh?!"

EDG was stunned.

The commentators and spectators of the global competition areas are also stupid!

"It's... Found !! Meiko！！ I drop Superman! This eye position!! The eyes worth a thousand gold directly illuminate the five AFS people!! ”

The doll opened its mouth wide, and after the extreme bewilderment, it went crazy in an instant!
