November 3, Incheon Munhak Gymnasium.

In the cold wind of November, the audience from LPL rubbed their hands together and sat in the venue.

It's an open-air venue, and because of that, ...... It's really a little cold.

But even if the temperature is not high, their enthusiasm is still undiminished.

The scene was not full.

There are Korean audiences, but there are not many of them.

This is also a very normal thing, there is no Korean team in the finals, what do Koreans watch?

Only some of Lee Sang-hyuk and SKT's South Korean fans are willing to come to watch the game.

But even so, the attendance is still not low.

The reason is that there are too many LPL audiences.

Today, it's the final of EDG's IG play!

In, the home of South Korea!

Many capable viewers gritted their teeth and chose to come to the scene to cheer for the players.

Many people are calling on the post bar Weibo Q group that the audience who has the ability to go to the scene had better go to the scene.

The ten people who played today's game finally went through a nearly month-long schedule and finally reached the final in this exotic S competition.

How can they not support them if they work so hard?

You can't let the players win or lose only to find that they don't even have a family member to support them.

This is the simple logic of the audience.

In the cold wind, Xu Yuan, who had already put on a down jacket, stepped off the bus and couldn't help but put his two hands in his pockets.

"Is it so cold?"

He tried to hide his mouth under his collar and let out a muffled exclamation.

"There should be air conditioning in the venue, right?"

Lee Sang-hyuk also felt a little cold and put on a hat of a down jacket.

"In the open air, I don't think so."

Kkoma shook his head,

"However, there should be an air conditioner blowing on the stage."

Xu Yuan imagined this scene for a moment and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Why can't it be in an indoor venue?"

Smeb scratched his head and spoke bluntly.

"Because there is no such a large indoor venue, how can South Korea compare with China?"

KKOMA looked helpless and spoke to the photographer who accompanied the team.

"This can't be broadcast."

The photographer made an OK gesture.

On both sides of the approach passage, two South Korean police have surrounded each other, and a road has been divided.

Seeing the arrival of the players, countless spectators couldn't help cheering.

“EDG！ EDG！ EDG！ ”

"EDG Refueling !!"

"Come on, Savior!! Come on, Faker!! ”

"Good luck Ono!! Gotta win!! ”

"Brother Mai beat me hard!!"

"Garlic King Ba is going to bite hard today!!"

Xiao Tian was smiling at first, but when he heard the cheering sound that belonged to him, his smile suddenly couldn't hold back.

The whole section is broken!

Byd, other people's fans cheer for each other's names, how can my fans be like black fans?

What the hell is a hard bite, I'm not a dog.

Iron sunspots!

"Hahahaha!"

But Xu Yuan laughed out loud, which made his eyes resentful.

Xu Yuan stopped laughing, "Xiaotian, I'm a professional player, I'm not laughing at you, but I suddenly thought of a funny joke." ”

Xiaotian sneered, "Oh? Is it convenient to talk about? ”

Then Xu Yuan stopped talking.

Xiaotian's teeth are itching, you can make up a joke!

Enter the venue and go all the way to the powder room.

In fact, you don't need to make up much, at most you can take care of the image of the players.

After all, some players do need this link, such as RNG's jungler Spicy Fork Chicken.

There is no makeup link, and he estimates that he has to play with an oily head every day, which can only be said to have an impact on LPL to some extent.

"Yo, isn't this an abyss? I haven't seen you for a few days, so pulled? ”

As soon as Xu Yuan walked in, he heard Ah Shui's ridiculous voice.

They came a little earlier than EDG and are also wearing makeup at the moment.

"Don't bark, see if buddy abuses you later."

Xu Yuan sneered and walked behind him to mess with his hair.

"What are you doing, ouch."

Ah Shui hurriedly tidied up his hair.

This was just a small episode, but it also eased the originally tense atmosphere a little.

The two teams chatted for a while, then finished their makeup and returned to their own lounge.

"IG seems to be quite confident."

KKOMA clapped his hands to bring the contestants together and said with a smile.

"Hit FNC."

Xu Yuan put his hands behind his head and sat on the sofa with Erlang's legs crossed, showing his true colors as a team bully.

Poof.

Xiao Tian couldn't help but laugh.

That's a bit excessive, but it's fine.

IG may have really played confident because of playing FNC.

"No matter what, you still have to be serious."

KKOMA's face was a little stern and he glared at Xu Yuan.

Xu Yuan didn't say anything, of course he knew.

It is estimated that no one on the scene understands IG better than him.

How fierce IG is, he is the one who knows best.

But he has self-confidence, and our EDG is more fierce.

"Today's first one, we can try the FNC idea."

After the player calmed down, KKOMA made the first tactical choice.

"Didn't FNC lose badly?"

Smeb was a little confused.

"That's a problem with FNC's play, not a matter of tactics."

Kkoma shook his head.

"Their tactic, to put it bluntly, is to let the middle and upper resist the pressure, and then open up the situation in the lower lane where the military training IG is weak."

"There is no problem with this tactic itself, the problem is that they can't bear it."

KKOMA doesn't feel like there's nothing merit in their thinking just because of the FNC's failure.

In fact, he admires FNC a lot.

At least the other party's judgment is really similar to his own, and he really worked hard to study IG.

It's just limited by the ability of the players. I just didn't win.

After all, no matter how good the tactics are, they also need to be executed by the players.

And the middle and upper part of the FNC can't wait for the bottom lane to take off, can this be blamed on the tactics?

It's like RNG has been unable to stand up in this World Championship, can the blame the tactics?

What kind of tactics FNC does, their mid-to-upper will be completely exploded by IG's mid-to-upper.

And EDG, no.

Out of trust in his own players, KKOMA felt that this tactic could be tried.

This is also the tactic they have always liked to use to play IG.

IG's Nakagami is indeed very strong, and it can even be said that this version of the suppressive power is firmly above all teams, and even EDG may not be able to get an advantage in the face of them.

But to say that IG can win EDG's Nakakamino casually, it's a little embarrassing to brag IG.

If the player has no problem playing, EDG's mid-to-upper may be a small advantage, a draw, or even a small inferiority.

But that's about it.

And quite different from Nakaueno's rivalry, EDG's lower lane ......

It's much stronger than IG's bottom lane!

The gap between Ah Shui and Xu Yuan is not mentioned for the time being, at this time, IG's auxiliary Baolan ...... It's so easy to target.

After getting Luo, there is a chance to swim the dragon.

After getting the head of the Bulon bull, he barely fought like a person.

And the other heroes can only say...... Suspected of playing.

The strength of the bottom lane group is added together by AD support, and it is clear that IG's bottom lane group is their breakthrough.

Of course, this is generally not a big breakthrough.

Sapphire Blue is a bit green if you can't get a unique hero, but it looks a bit green in this kind of top-tier game.

But because I am naturally afraid of death, there are really not many opportunities to give.

In the face of a team like FNC, before he could get dizzy, FNC himself couldn't stand it.

And what KKOMA has to do is to tear this wound.

Tear! Tear them all up for me!

On the other side, IG is also carrying out tactical arrangements.

It's all finals, and who wouldn't want to win?

Even IG, which has never had much tactics at all, has begun to do tactics seriously.

In such a situation, time passed little by little, and soon it was time for the opening ceremony of the finals.

With the sudden lighting of the lights, the audience at the scene was in high spirits.

The audience in the live broadcast room also came to the spirit.

"It's coming!"

"It's finally here!!"

"I'm super hot, I'm so nervous!"

Far away in the LPL, Poofs skillfully turned off the camera and lit a cigarette.

There was something complicated in his eyes.

"Who does the main wave support? How can this nest of Xiba be supported, both sides are good brothers of the main wave. ”

He read the barrage.

"If you really want to say support, then support Jack."

"The main wave doesn't want to see Yuanzi win the second championship, because the main wave has never had the opportunity to win grass in his life!"

It can only be said that Poofs only plays real.

"Welcome to the 2018 League of Legends World Championship finals, which is about to take place at the highest level of S8, and the final winner will lift the summoner trophy and become the new king of the year!"

"Today's champion candidates are EDG and IG, let's wait and see!"

The Korean commentator smiled brightly and spoke sonorously.

The reason why EDG is introduced in front is naturally because at least EDG's mid-laner is Lee Sang-hyuk.

"Okay guys, welcome to the finals of the 2018 World Finals, which will be the final between EDG, the No. 1 seed and the No. 2 seed IG in our region."

On the LPL side, today's commentator Colonel Guan is also smiling.

"Both teams have come to this day, in fact, they are very dominant!"

"IG in the knockout stage is also getting better and better, and I believe that they still have the strength to fight against EDG."

"Please wait a moment, the game is about to start!"

The commentary in Europe and the United States is even more exciting.

"How exciting!"

"Two very dominant teams at Worlds are about to decide the winner today!"

"The last time the two teams met was in this year's LPL summer finals, and the winner at that time was EDG!"

"Today, will it be another victory for EDG, or will it be a revenge battle for IG?"

"Now, let's wait for the final to come!"

No matter which live broadcast platform, it has become a little stuck because of the massive barrage.

"IG kill me! Isn't it the No. 1 seed? It's not that I haven't won! ”

There's nothing wrong with it, FNC does seem to be the number one seed.

"I'm invincible in the world!"

This should be an EDG fan, but what he said is a bit unlucky.

The last time I said this, it was with a clear eye.

And Daiqing has always been not a man in terms of not being a man.

On the Korean audience's side, it is even more pure.

The palms and backs of the hands are all thorns!

If I have to say, the Korean audience doesn't want to see EDG win the championship, nor does it want to see IG win the championship.

They only want to know one thing, can buckle 1 resurrect KT not?

However, Lee Sang-hyuk's fans have spared no effort to cheer for EDG.

What does it mean to be an international star? [Tactical Fallback]

In the midst of all the attention, the music gradually became stronger.

Suddenly, the screen went black.

With the advent of the countdown, everyone was in high spirits.

Here it comes!

"Ten!"

The audience began to count down in unison.

On the screen, the members of the KDA girl group that Riot strongly promoted this year began to be revealed one after another.

Speaking of which, it's also engaged.,Originally, because of the fall of the RNG adults this year.,Even if IG won the championship.,The homepage of the game here in the LPL is still hanging on the KDA.。

So much so that people are angry with each other: Which is IG winning the championship? Isn't this the KDA winning the championship?

"Nine!"

The original leather hero put on the KDA skin costume and posed handsomely.

"Eight!"

Evelyn, a widow hidden in the darkness, has a charming look in her eyes.

"Seven!"

KDA's Evelyn pushed her sunglasses and smiled wickedly.

"Six!"

In the smoke, Akali appeared quietly, holding kunai sideways to face the audience, her eyes sharp.

"Five!"

Accompanied by the rushing smoke, Akali picked up her kunai with glitter paint on her body.

"Four!"

Kai'Sa stood quietly, her hand slightly outstretched, as if trying to grasp something.

"Three!"

Kaisha, who wore KDA skin, smiled and showed off her perfect body sideways, which made many viewers guilty of the big ass effect for a while.

"Two!"

Ahri, who was holding the energy ball, had a serious expression.

"One!"

Ahri, who is transformed into KDA, opens the door and walks up.

"Zero!"

At the moment when the countdown clears, the 0 of the Arabic numerals becomes a door.

Ahri, walk to the stage!

This is AR technology.

Different from VR, AR technology is the mixed reality technology that was used in the S7 Bird's Nest, that is, the virtual thing is projected to the scene, which may not be seen at the scene, but the live broadcast can be seen.

And as Ahri walked to the stage, dynamic music began to play.

This is KDA's debut title song.

Because the scene was relatively cold, Tian Xiaojuan, who was wearing a down jacket, walked to the stage with a smile on her face and raised the microphone to open!

“NOW，it's KDA！”

The characteristic timbre is very catchy, and it immerses people in the song almost instantly.

In the song singing, the projected heroes are also constantly dancing, and the audio-visual experience is directly full.

However, Xu Yuan in the audience showed the expression of the old man's subway mobile phone.

Because...... This model is really a pure lump.

Riot's modelers are really laid off, what an ugly hero!

At the end of the song, Ahri walked through the door again.

After passing through the door, Ahri was back to her original self.

On the big screen in front of him, the scene of the championship of the previous S competitions began to be revealed!

The members of S1 and FNC are smiling brightly, and they don't know how many people will be coveted by the trophy they have now received.

At that time, the S1 World Championship was still in the same form as the Internet Café Competition, because this FNC was also nicknamed the Internet Café Championship.

S2 has developed into a qualified world competition, and my country's TPA assassination star team is also happily winning the cup.

Among them, mid-laner Toyz is also smiling happily.

I don't know if he will think about this day when he goes to prison in the future?

S3, SKT won the championship, faker and his teammates picked up the trophy, the flowers fell, and their faces were high.

S4, the three-star white players with hats looked at the camera a little shyly and waved gently.

Poofs was in the ranks, shyly and brightly smiling.

Seeing this scene, Poof, who was watching the game at home, couldn't help but be silent.

After a long time, I opened my mouth with some choked up.

"Grass!"

One champion team after another appeared one after another, and the scene of their championship was accompanied by the passionate voices of the commentators at that time.

When the latest champion, EDG from LPL, won the cup, the atmosphere of the scene also came to the climax.

At this moment, the famous Korean host Roaring Emperor had quietly walked to the field.

"Welcome to the 2018 League of Legends World Championship!"

"I'm today's host, Jeon Yong-jun!"

He smiled, and his voice remained at a normal volume.

But the next moment, his signature roar began.

"Now!"

"Let's welcome today's two teams, EDG and IG!"

The audience cheered in unison.

"First of all, let's welcome—"

“IG——！”

He paused slightly, then suddenly raised his fist and waved it into the sky.

The IG players have serious expressions and have begun to appear!

“TOP，Theshyyyyyyyyyyy！”

Today's Theshy, with a very serious look, walked at the front of IG and stood on the side of the stage amid the enthusiastic cheers of the audience.

“TOP，Duke！”

Duke, who looked calm, walked onto the stage with steady steps.

And when he came on the court, the audience on the LPL side was already crazy about playing memes.

"The sir!"

"He's coming, he's coming!"

All of this is mainly because Duke's project is more like a celebrity.

“JUG，Ning！”

With a smile, King Ning walked onto the stage.

It can be seen that he is enjoying the scene very much.

For King Ning, who is so confident by nature that he is a little inflated, the more such a competition is, the more his blood boils.

“Mid，RRRRR——Rookie！”

Another protracted introduction, and Rookie smiled and waved his hand onto the stage.

“ADCarry，Jackelove！”

Ah Shui's expression was a little serious, and he walked to his teammates as easily as possible.

“SUP，BBBBB——Baolan！”

Sapphire pushed her glasses, walking a little shyly, but calming down as much as she could.

"Coach, Kim!"

Kim Kyung-so wore a suit and leather shoes, looked calm, and stood beside his own players.

"Next, let's round out again!"

Roaring Emperor Quan Yongjun's voice was not a little low, and he continued to speak passionately.

The scene also resounded with very powerful applause and cheers.

I have to say that in terms of mobilizing the atmosphere of the scene, the host is indeed very professional.

"Welcome, EDG!"

“TOP，Smeb！”

At the forefront was Smeb, who had a bland face.

It's not the first time he's been to Worlds, and it's not the first time he's played in a final.

So the mood is very well maintained.

All the way to the other side of the stage that is opposite to IG and stand firmly.

“JUG，TTTTTT——Tian！”

Xiao Tian suppressed the tension in his heart, waved his hand to the audience, and walked to his teammates' side as calmly as possible.

To be honest, he was really a little nervous.

Off the stage, the audience seemed endless.

In this case, it feels completely different from the league.

If it weren't for MSI, Xiaotian at this time would probably be cringe when he walked.

“ The Mid，Faker！”

When introducing Faker, Jeon Yong-joon used a prefix like The.

The cheers at the scene were louder, because many Korean audiences were also cheering this time.

Lee Sang-hyuk appeared on the stage.

There was only calm in his eyes, and with a smile on his face, he walked calmly to Xiaotian's side.

For him now, the stage for the World Championship finals?

Been here already, too many times.

There's really nothing to be nervous about.

Give it your all, win the championship, that's all.

“ADCarry，SSSSS——Savior！”

With the introduction of the Roaring Emperor, Xu Yuan smiled and walked onto the stage.

It's hard for anyone who hasn't experienced it firsthand to imagine what it's like to be in front of thousands of viewers at the same time.

All eyes are on you, they're cheering, they're waving their batons.

Xu Yuan, however, did not have any nervousness.

Because he is confident enough in himself.

Here, it's the stage!

It's where he is about to start performing.

The audience was already in place, and Xu Yuan just needed not to disappoint them.

Nervous? Inexistent.

He has only two words: enjoy!

Xu Yuan waved his right hand lightly, walked into the EDG queue with a bright smile, and looked ahead.

There, there was a black oppressive audience.

“SUP，Meiko！”

With the introduction of the auxiliary, Tian Ye quietly came to the stage and stood beside Xu Yuan.

His expression was quiet and flat, with a slight smile on his lips.

"Coach, kkoma!"

Finally, of course, it's the coach.

It is worth mentioning that IG coach Kim Kyung-so's English name is Kim, while EDG's coach is kkoma.

Is it possible that people whose names start with K are good at BP?

That...... What about kid?

Forget it, let's order first.

All the players and coaches were already in place, and after Jeon Yong-jun's opening ended, he walked to his seat in a proper manner and waited for the equipment to be commissioned.

In anticipation, the big screen at this time also released a promotional video belonging to the finals in a timely manner.

Next to the Mercedes traffic, Meiko leaned on the guardrail of the Hangang Bridge, looking into the distance.

"Last year, we won our first LPL title in China, and this year, we will start competing for the title again in Korea."

"A few years ago, I never imagined that there would be such a day."

"But now that we've come to this point, the final championship will only belong to us."

His earnest voice sounded as a narrator.

Sapphire Blue clasps her hands to her chest and faces the camera.

Behind him, the morning sun was brilliant and bright.

This is probably Riot's favorite shot.

"IG has been waiting for this opportunity for too long, and if I don't win this time, it will be a big blow to me."

"So, I can't lose."

Sapphire Blue's calm but sincere voice sounded.

As soon as the picture turned, Xu Yuan, who was wearing an EDG team uniform, looked down at the camera, moving his wrists casually, and his eyes were only sharp.

"IG undoubtedly have the terrifying strength to win the S tournament and they are our biggest opponents in the World Championship, we knew that before we started."

"But it doesn't matter."

"Because we've won them many times, and it's going to be the same this time."

The camera switched to IG's mid-laner Rookie.

At this time, Rookie smiled,

"There is a saying in China, don't wait for three days, and treat each other with admiration."

"The current IG is no longer the IG before the World Championship, and we have completed the evolution again."

"EDG, this time, we will take revenge and leave you with the most painful memories."

Lee Sang-hyuk looked at the clouds in the distant sky,

"Evolution?"

"When we lost in the spring, IG said so."

"When we lost in the summer, IG still said that."

"The World Championship has been played so far, and then you say, evolved?"

There was confusion in his voice.

"I've played some Pokémon, isn't IG a Pokémon I haven't seen before?"

Xu Yuan, who had already debugged the peripherals, really didn't hold back, and covered his face and smiled.

Lee Sang-hyuk is a little damaged!

But it doesn't seem to be a problem.

IG has really evolved again and again this year. Then he was beaten by EDG again and again.

It's like BLG and JDG for 23 years.

Seriously, EDG has been capturing this complete IG for a whole year.

"If you go to the World Championship, you have to win the championship, otherwise what are you going to do?"

"Xiaotian is very powerful? I think I'm more powerful, everyone's surname is Gao, and last time I lost and became the second. ”

"This time, I'm going to be the boss."

King Ning is as confident as ever.

Although no one knows why he is so confident, he is very confident.

"There is also a gap between the high surname jungler, this BO5 will let you see what the top jungler is, and if you are blown up by the rhythm of my wild area, don't cry out."

"I'll be the new champion jungler, and I'll be the new runner jungler."

Xiao Tian in front of the camera was very calm, stretched out his wrist, and squeezed it tightly.

Domineering side leaky opening.

"I am who I am, I am the sky."

When Xu Yuan heard this famous line, he couldn't help but imitate it in the team's voice.

"Am I who I am? Am I the sky? ”

Xiaotian's toes were tightly buckled, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Brother Yuan, it's a little too disgusting, this also has to be learned?"

Now Xiaotian is a whole regret.

Why did you fall for the Riot photographer and say such a mid-second explosion?

Regret it now!

"Definitely! It's too much, right, you're the sky. ”

Tian Ye's first sentence was indeed true, which made Xiaotian think that he was talking for himself, and he was a little relieved.

Then Tian Ye directly tried to see the poor dagger, and directly changed his name to [You are the sky].

Xiaotian: ......

It's numb.

"Hehe, it's good for you to be happy."

He swaggered.

The promotional video on the camera was also carried out to the end.

Theshy clasped his hands to his chest,

"For me, winning the championship is a certainty."

"Smeb may have been a strong top laner, but it was."

"In the new era, it's time for a new generation like me to be on the stage."

"I'm going to beat him up in the final."

"Goodbye, Smeb."

It's quite domineering, although it can't be said to have nothing to do with Theshy, and it can also be said that it has nothing to do with it at all.

All the players' lines are fists for the players to think, and then help the players modify it, and in most cases the players are just tool people.

"My era is not over yet, from the day I debuted, I believe in a sentence, according to Chinese words, that is, Jiren has his own natural appearance."

Smeb stares at the camera.

In the background, his voice is calm and determined.

"The strong man is the Ji man."

"Theshy, you're outstanding."

"But I'm better than you."

This is the end of the promotional video.

The peripherals have been checked and confirmed that there are no problems.

The coaches of both sides invariably picked up the tactical book, and their eyes instantly became serious.

Race, go!
