That night, all EDG staff flew directly to Gwangju.

This time, without the RNG by his side, only the IG team remained.

After the plane landed in Gwangju, EDG took the official bus to the hotel to check in and began to prepare for the semi-finals of the next semi-finals.

That's right, the first game of the semifinals was played by the left half.

The day after tomorrow is EDG's match day.

A day passed in a blink of an eye, and on the 26th, all EDG members got up early, adjusted their condition, and went straight to the competition venue.

At the same time, the outside world.

After a few days of public opinion storm, the voice of spitting on RNG gradually disappeared.

It's not that everyone has forgotten this "shameful" record, but today is EDG's match day!

The only big brother in the LPL division now, EDG, the biggest favorite to win the championship this year.

Even if everyone knows that EDG is very strong, once they lose the game today, it will be a devastating blow to the LPL region.

The audience has been shouting about the first division for a whole year, and the official touted the first division for a year, and it has really become a joke.

What's more, today's opponent of EDG is still G2, which has been extremely arrogant these days.

For this opponent, everyone in the LPL, from the professional players to the audience, has been gearing up and hating the root of their teeth.

RNG can't beat you, EDG head office, right?

Abuse him!

This is the voice of all LPL viewers right now.

Similarly, the official and major commentators and hosts also posted articles today.

[Commentary Miller]: "EDG come on (muscles) (muscles)!" Let's go to Incheon together! ”

[Yan Zijing wAwa]: "The only hope for LPL, I don't want to say much now, I hope EDG can break all doubts, our LPL is the first division!" ”

[YSCandice]: "Come on, Incheon is waiting for you to @EDG e-sports club!" ”

[Commentary Haokai]: "See you at Incheon! ”

[Rita Xiaoyu-san]: "Let's go to Incheon!" ”

There are also many people who are cheering for EDG, which is about to have a decisive battle.

The LPL division started in high spirits at this year's S competition, and now, S8 is seeing that it is at the end, but RNG has an accident.

It is inevitable that there is a breath of anger in my heart.

The live broadcast channels of major live broadcast platforms have been opened early.

Countless viewers flocked to the scene, and although the footage being shown now was only some of the highlights from the previous S match, the number of people was very strange and crazy to rise.

This is the semi-final.

Approaching the final battle, even if you don't usually watch the game, you have to watch it.

At the same time, the EDG crowd had also arrived at the competition venue.

Gwangju is the host city of this year's S8 semi-finals, and the venue chosen is naturally extremely magnificent, and from the outside, it feels like a giant beast crawling on the ground.

The large square outside the venue was densely packed with people.

This time, at least a small percentage of the audience were from China, and they came to support EDG and cheer for EDG's cute fans.

Now, it's really on the verge of a kick in the door.

As long as EDG wins today's game and advances to the finals, no matter whether he wins or loses, his historical status and his status in the LPL will definitely go down in history.

This is a reserve king division, only one step away, it can become the second most powerful dynasty in history!

EDG people walked into the stadium through a special passageway, but they could still hear the frantic cheers and screams of the outside audience through the soundproof walls.

"Whew...... The semi-finals are one step away. Scout was a little excited for no reason.

These days are all the way up, and until now, they haven't really breathed a sigh of relief.

At this moment, when I really walked into the venue and looked at the fans who came from thousands of miles to cheer for them outside, I was even more excited at the same time, but I was inexplicably a little stable.

It's a small scene, it's not that I haven't experienced it, what's the panic?

When I came to the backstage, I accidentally ran into G2 and others.

To everyone's surprise, when G2 saw them, it was like seeing an idol, Ah P was babbling for a while, and his attitude was very humble, and he was completely not arrogant on the Internet.

“Murder！ Oh, my friend, we meet again! Ah P came up and hugged Xu Cheng, and then was very excited: "This time we met, you have to be merciful." ”

"Oh? Are you still afraid of us? Tian Ye next to him understood this sentence from the translator and couldn't help but ask.

Ah P waved his hand awkwardly.

Xu Cheng smiled: "See you in the arena." ”

"Okay, see you in the arena, let's cheer together!"

EDG everyone said hello with a smile.,Actually, everyone knew each other when I was S7.,Now it's an old acquaintance.。

After greeting, they came to the backstage and EDG began to prepare.

Waiting for the upcoming matches.

……

Time: One o'clock in the afternoon.

The competition venue was officially opened, and tens of thousands of people outside the square instantly poured into the venue, and the crowd was crowded.

Loud chatter, cheers, and screams of all kinds.

Today, everyone will usher in the highest stage that they have been looking forward to for a whole year, the semi-finals of the S competition!

This is a classic carnival feast that can go down in history, and the S game has reached this point, in fact, the four teams that have been promoted and the name that is enough to go down in history are recorded in the development history of the S game.

There are a lot of Korean audiences today, but more people are Chinese and European.

That's right, since the teams playing today are the Chinese team and the European team, the western face and Mandarin can be seen everywhere here.

The Gwangju competition venue has enough capacity for 50,000 people, and now all of them are gathered together, just waiting for today's gluttonous feast!

"Everyone who supports EDG is here!"

There were fans who had flown in from China standing in the closest place to the bottom of the stage, and this place was vacant, and many people were holding rectangular banners with the name of the EDG team, and there was a field of five or six meters, greeting the domestic audience.

There are also Western fans on the other side.

"Wow... Today's game is going to explode. ”

Before the game started, some people had already felt this unparalleled on-site viewing atmosphere and said in amazement.

"Today is the semi-finals, the semi-finals, brother, for sure."

"And EDG is still playing G2... This is a personal grudge.,I hope EDG overturns G2.。 ”

"That's a must, EDG to Ye Chong Duck!!"

"Huh... Is the one at the front Principal Wang? ”

“……！”

Such conversations are everywhere, and even Principal Wang, who has nothing to do with today's game, was present in person.

And just when there was a lot of discussion in the venue, the originally bright stage suddenly darkened.

Bang bang bang!

Immediately after, a few dull sounds came, and then a burst of passionate BGM sounded!

Accompanied by a familiar tenor, the scene exploded in an instant!

"Hello, light ~~~ state !!"

LCK gold medal host, the only designated host of the S competition, Roaring Emperor, dressed in a silver-white suit, pulled his unique high voice, and strode onto the stage.

The camera was given, and the scene was crazy.

"In the competitive arena, it is always the stage for the strong, and the weak can only be ruthlessly eliminated."

"And after a month of fierce battles, there are only four of the sixteen strongest teams in the world from all over the world."

"We believe that the eliminated teams will be stronger in the coming year, and we will believe that the four teams that are currently on the stage are the strongest ones in everyone's minds! This stage belongs to them! No. 1 in the world, who can do it? Let's wait and see! ”

"Ahhh

The atmosphere that had already exploded at the scene of the Roaring Emperor's words could not be controlled, and he himself said loudly: "Then first of all, let's welcome the two teams participating in today's competition, which are also today's protagonist teams!" ”

"First of all, let's welcome the biggest dark horse team in this year's World Championship with the warmest cheers, defeating the second seed in the LPL region and advancing strongly to the semifinals - G~~~2!!"

"Welcome G2!!"

The words fell, and the G2 people waiting in the backstage lined up and stepped onto the big stage!

Countless fans and spectators at the scene suddenly went crazy, waving the cheers in their hands and shouting the name of G2.

Later, only one ID remained.

“perkz！ perkz！ ”

“PPPPPP！”

“Pzi！！！”

Because G2 won RNG, and they were the only team in Europe to make it past the semi-finals this year.

It was the first time in several years that he entered the semi-finals.

Therefore, the popularity of the scene is far higher than when it was in the group stage of the S competition.

Seeing this scene, Ah P waved to the audience very excitedly and interacted with the audience.

G2 The others are similar.

The overall atmosphere of their team has always been like this, and the character of people who come crazy is now being noticed by hundreds of millions of viewers around the world, which is really cool.

The Roaring Emperor began to introduce the G2 people in turn.

It wasn't until all the introductions were made that I paused.

The cheers gradually faded and became quiet.

Seeing this scene, the Roaring Emperor couldn't help but smile and teased: "Ah, it seems... A lot of people already know who this team is next. ”

"Everyone is waiting, waiting for this year's biggest favorite to win the championship, the strongest team of kings."

“？？！”

The audience burst into laughter.

The Roaring Emperor suddenly said loudly: "Then let's welcome together, E~~D~~G!" ”

"Ahhh

“EDG！ EDG！ ”

"EDG is the strongest team of the year, they have already won all the international championships except for the Worlds this year, this is a dynasty team that can go down in history!"

EDG everyone walked to the stage, and at a glance, the audience was boiling.

Emperor Roar continued: "First of all, let's welcome, the NO1 in the top laner position, one of the strongest top laners in the history of the S competition, the world champion FMVP, the champion top laner of the last S competition, and the nightmare of all countries in the top laner - M~~~~urder!! ”

“？？！”

"Oooh!!"

“Murder！ Murder！ ”

“Murder！！ Murder I love you! ”

"Xu Cheng Oba!! ~！ ”

As soon as Xu Cheng's ID came out, it triggered a carnival at the scene that others could not match.

Countless fans and audiences were full of heat, staring at the figure on the stage.

Today's Xu Cheng is wearing a classic EDG black team uniform, and his hair is specially made, which has become more calm than S7.

There is also a unique temperament, which belongs exclusively to S8's Murder.

At this moment, seeing the 50,000 people at the scene shouting for themselves, Xu Cheng's heart was surging, and he waved to the audience.

The scene is even more crazy.

The teammates next to him and the other half of G2 and others were all stunned when they saw this. For the first time in my heart, I experienced Xu Cheng's popularity in South Korea so clearly.

Shocked, crushed.

Ah P, who was happy before, no longer looked excited, as if he had been hit.

This kind of cheering, before Faker came, I'm afraid it belonged to Murder alone, right?

It turns out that this is the case, and the next EDG other people appeared, although they agreed to be very explosive, but compared with Xu Cheng, they were always a little less imposing.

It wasn't until EDG and others all appeared that the opening ceremony officially ended, and the familiar BGM sounded.

The game begins.
