"Military coats? Don't sell! ”

“？？？”

In the noisy room, as the lights suddenly dimmed and the low BGM, the theme song of the 2018 Global Finals RISE sounded.

Everyone's spirits lifted -

The opening ceremony has begun!

The opening ceremony of S8 has a different charm than the Bird's Nest Dragon of S7.

After the grand opening ceremony, the mood of all the audience at the scene has become very agitated.

A deep baritone voice rang out.

Then I saw the live lead singer team of the theme song of the 2018 World Finals take the stage and began to continue the previous popular opening ceremony.

The air wave on the scene rose one after another, and when the lead singer finished singing most of the time and came to the climax, the camera finally turned, and suddenly gave a high platform on the left back side of the stage-

All the members were dressed in white uniforms, and all the IG members with flushed faces were impressively listed.

Flags fluttered, and they waved to the audience.

“IG！！”

“IG！ IG！ ”

"Second brother, come on!"

Many Korean fans at the scene were immediately excited, and frantically responded to the IG crowd on stage.

Because compared to EDG, Rookie and TheShy in the IG team are obviously more popular in South Korea, and now that none of the LCK teams have advanced to the World Finals this year.

IG has become a spiritual substitute for LCK viewers.

But before their cheers could be fully launched, they were suppressed by another shout like a mountain of waves.

“EDG！！”

“EDG！ EDG！ EDG！ ”

“Murder！ Murder！ ”

"Come on, EDG! EDG Rush Duck!! ”

The camera is given to EDG, and the EDG people in new uniforms are also standing on the right rear platform opposite to IG.

There were five starters, none of whom were absent.

The autumn wind is cold, and behind them there is the official EDG black team flag, which is very huge, fluttering with the autumn wind. The camera captures this and falls into the eyes of every viewer.

Compared with IG, perhaps it is because I saw the close-up of EDG's new team uniform at the moment, the power of that star made the domestic audience, which was originally less than the local audience, burst out with unparalleled power and crushed IG's cheering!

“RISE！ RISE！ ”

BGM has come to the end, when the last lyrics fall, the last melody disappears, and the scene is once again covered by the horror support of the two teams.

“EDG！ EDG！ ”

“IG！ IG！ ”

“……！”

Bang bang bang!

Several thick white smoke suddenly erupted around the arena stage, and then a voice that was very familiar to everyone was heard.

"Hello, Ren ~~~~ Chuan!!"

The Roaring Emperor walked up from the backstage in a formal suit, and started his signature roar as he walked, which immediately caused everyone on the scene to scream.

The Roaring Emperor stood still, looked around, and the audience gradually quieted down.

He slowed down before he raised the microphone enthusiastically:

"Today, here, Incheon Munhak Stadium, on this long and arduous journey, the two teams with sweat, tears and hard work that have been paid for a long time have stood at the top of the world and stood in the center of this stage!!"

The camera shows the EDG and IG teams standing on the high platforms on both sides.

Speechless.

"Standing in front of this summoner trophy, our two armies of kings, are about to end this historic journey. Just like any previous World Championships and previous S Championships, until now, there are only two teams left. ”

"They are the two strongest teams of the year, they are the undisputed division of kings, and today, from these two teams, there will be a founder of a super king, so... Who is it? ”

The Roaring Emperor looked at the delicate and beautiful summoner trophy in front of him, which seemed to be a peerless thing in the world, and couldn't help but collapse his hands.

The scene burst into laughter.

"Ahh I still don't touch it, it feels too sacred..."

"Only the strongest today, the victor, is qualified to touch it."

The Roaring Emperor smiled, and then his face turned straight: "So... Everybody...... Now, all the members of these two teams are ready......"

"Let's welcome all the players from both teams with the warmest cheers!!"

The words fell, and the reaction from the audience was fierce.

"First of all, let's welcome this year's new face, and the biggest dark horse, who broke the ice all the way to the promotion - IG team!"

"Order, TheShy!"

"Jungler, Ning!"

"Mid laner ......!"

Every time I read an ID of the IG team, the camera will be given to the player, causing a boil in the field.

The Roaring Emperor also began to play his highest voice to cheer for the IG team.

It turned out that he was really hardworking.

All IG players are now more than one level different from EDG's popularity, except for Rookie.

But in this case, he was stunned by the enthusiasm of the Roaring Emperor, and the atmosphere exploded.

And when it came to EDG, the Roaring Emperor shouted:

"Well, now it's one of the strongest teams of the year, who have won all the international honors this year, except for the Worlds!"

"They are known as the strongest team in history, and their winning record makes them look invincible, so let's welcome - Team EDG!!"

"Top order, M~~~~urder~~~~!"

As soon as he read Xu Cheng's ID, the scene immediately applauded like crazy, and the Roaring Emperor was also very interested when he read it here.

After that, EDG and other people were introduced one by one.

After all was over, the Roaring Emperor shouted: "Then I announce that the opening ceremony of the 2018 World Finals is officially over, and the competition ...... Begin!! ”

With a long voice from the Roaring Emperor, it fell.

The scene erupted in the warmest cheers of the day.

Then the sound faded away, and the venue went dark.

Airplanes.

On the big screen in the center of the stage, a somewhat unfamiliar but passionate BGM prelude sounded.

In the maple forests of Incheon, the leaves are already yellowing, and the tree-lined paths are full of red glow and the sun is like the sea. It seems to be full of an indescribable majesty and tragedy.

The camera turned.

There are small bridges and flowing water, Incheon in the sky, thousands of miles of dumping fields, small seedlings in mountain villages, and lush trees.

Against the backdrop of peace, but the madness before the storm.

"EDG is saying, this game, this schedule, it's over!!"

There is an English commentary shouting.

"IG has become one of the most amazing dark horses of the year!! They have defeated all the enemies that stand in their way, they are going to have a historic meeting with the EDG, they are going to - ascend the throne and become king!! ”

The mountains and rivers are swaying, the forest hut, and outside a wooden house full of IG team flags, TheShy, a single star player on IG, walks slowly to the camera.

"Winning the championship is a far-fetched thing that I can't even imagine."

"Reaching the final is only half the battle, unless we do win the championship in the end, why are we here?"

High-rise buildings, thousands of lights, and huge and exquisite summoner trophies are dazzling on the stone walls of the coast.

"Now we are standing at the threshold. Just one step away, we will create miracles that we never thought of before, and achieve achievements that everyone would envy. ”

"The key is that I have to figure out how I can do it well and cross this threshold."

Scout, the midlaner of the EDG team, sits in the hallway of a wooden house full of Japanese style, the camera pans, and his gaze is blurred with indescribable heat.

In the temple, there are high monks who sincerely pray for the Buddha to bow down and worship.

At night, Heo Cheng walks among the places of interest in Incheon.

"I'm not going to stop at one World Finals... I won the championship last year and this year we are stronger than ever. ”

"I don't expect to win all the honors, even if we get all the honors this year except for the S race. But this time, at this moment, this championship belongs to us. ”

The picture turns, the quiet small courtyard, all the starters of EDG are lined up, and there are blue lights in the courtyard to envelop all of them, staring at each other.

On the other side, the IG crowd was shrouded in red light, their faces were equally firm, and they were determined to win in their provocations.

BGM comes to the first climax.

The high-altitude vista, Incheon at night is unusually beautiful, just like the summoner's trophy that appears in the crowd and the lights are green.

"Every year when I see the award ceremony, I hope that the person standing on the stage is me."

"Really envious... I'm very envious. ”

"Having come to this point, I feel that this thought is stronger than ever, and I don't think EDG has the same desire to survive as we do."

IG team midlaner Rookie's eyes were in a trance, as if recalling his obscure efforts in the past few years.

His results have been outstanding every year, and his quality is evident to all, but he has never won any awards.

They are unknowns, and they are never looked up to.

S Race Champion... It's a feat that they can't even think of, and at this moment, they have hope to do it.
