In the first 14 days of the 15-day S7 Mid-Season Tournament, League of Legends fans contributed more than 200 million hours of viewing time, and the number of independent viewers reached more than 436 million.

This figure is already equal to last year's S6 World Finals!

Standing on the central stage of the Rio de Janeiro Stadium, Tang Jun could feel the enthusiasm and passion of the audience like a melting pot!

Compared with the S2 and S3 World Finals, it is not an order of magnitude at all!

Even though he and the other contestants were hiding in the darkness of the stage at the moment, the audience was all attracted by the "final promotional video" played on the big screen above, and there were no screams and cheers on the scene.

But the shock of facing the sea of people is still huge!

"It's the king!"

After the trailer finished the SKT part, the clip belonging to GBG arrived.

Fist quickly and continuously played the silhouette of Tang Jun holding the championship trophy in the S2 final and the silhouette of Xiao Se leaving the player seat in the S3 World Championship.

Although the distance is long, a large part of GBG's fan base is the champion fan of Hero or the anti-string black, even if it is just a few seconds, but they are more sensitive to the picture in their memory than anyone else!

Time

Countless people have thousands of emotions in their hearts.

The first half of the ancient S2 and S3 belonged to the Hero era, dazzling but short-lived.

But at the start of the S3 Worlds, SKT's era arrived, and it continues to this day!

In the promotional video, Faker just holds the trophy in a lot of time than Hero!

In contrast,

Many veteran viewers at the scene sighed one after another, with infinite amazement in their hearts.

A man in his thirties, who lived in St. Petersburg and flew to Brazil to see MSI, exclaimed:

"See You Again, Hero"

"Today, can I see you pick up the trophy to make up for your regrets, and by the way, help me make up for the regrets of my college years?"

"Come on!"

The promotional video has been played.

There was a brief silence.

Subsequently!

The theme song of the S7 Champion Mid-Season "Theme" is suddenly played!

The spotlights placed on the roof of the gymnasium are lit up and shine into the center of the stage from all directions!

"Let's welcome the two teams that made it to the 2017 Midseason Finals!"

"They are"

“ SKT——”

“ GBG——”

"Two teams on the top laner, Huni, Theshy!"

"Two teams of junglers, Peanut, Hero!"

"Two teams in the mid-laner, Faker, GodV!"

"Two teams AD, Bang, imp!!"

"Two teams of supporters, Wolf and Crisp!"

"And the two side substitutes, Blank, Ning!"

Starting and subs, a total of twelve players slowly appeared in the spotlight.

Interestingly, the players on both sides did not line up according to their respective positions.

On the SKT side, Faker is in the center, and Bang and Wolf are on either side of him.

And GBG is Tang Jun standing in the middle, and Wei Shen and Puff are around.

[I'm blanching! What a king!! 】

[ Hero looks so young in the spotlight wearing GBG's team uniform, and in memory he is obviously an old thing that is about to enter the ground! ] 】

[Handsome! 】

[Before the fight started, Lao Tzu was so excited! ] 】

【Must Win!】 Be sure to win! You have to win! 】

[Absolutely, the team members worked hard to reach the finals, you stinky shameless to pick peaches. 】

[The marketing team, wait for Jungou to go up and play a bright look, it is estimated that it will be replaced Ning, and the club is not invested by him alone, he really wants to lose this MSI championship, and the other bosses don't scold this defeated dog? 】

[The barrage little black powder is really sour, even our old sister's favorite Fuyuan cranberry is not sour! ] 】

……

"I really didn't expect Hero to really come up and play in the finals!"

"When I saw the GBG roster last night, I was really excited, I didn't expect to be able to explain his matchup with Faker on MSI."

"This is a battle of legends from two regions!"

In the LPL commentary seat, Doll and Miller and special guest Sun Yalong stood in front of the camera.

Miller fiddled with his hands with some excitement:

"Junshen acquired and founded the GBG club this year, and then came back to play a few games, which is already a very dreamy thing for us old commentators!"

"I didn't expect him to appear again in the MSI finals."

"Although Junshen has not played for more than three years until the beginning of the year, the careful thinking and various extreme operations he showed in the face of RNG in the spring game show that Junshen's strength has not decreased during the days of retirement and entrepreneurship!"

"And before the S6 settlement day, he got the first place in the double server!"

"I'm really optimistic about his debut and showdown at MSI!"

Sun Yalong, who was wearing an ill-fitting suit and looked like a dog, also spoke:

"People are really angry compared to people!"

"Hero and I are barely contemporaries."

"Aside from his past achievements, now he can still play, but I can only broadcast live from home."

With Sun Yalong's character, he dared to say these words in the official live broadcast room of LPL!

After the doll played haha, the opening ceremony ended after the performance of the hot pants beauties, and the contestants on the scene also took their seats.

LPL officially linked up with major platforms and launched a championship prediction.

"77.7% of the audience supported the GBG team and believed that GBG could win the championship!"

"There are not a few people who think SKT can win the championship."

22.3 percent!

Looking at the data on the display screen in front of them, the tone of several commentators became a little silent.

Don't look at 22.3, not even a third of 77.7!

You know, this is the audience of LPL, and there are no LCK fans or European and American audiences participating!

Even if it is a duel between divisions and clubs, GBG, as an LPL, as a club founded by Chinese people, should always have an overwhelming support advantage no matter what, right?

Not to mention that 91 is open, even if it is ten open, it is not unusual!

After all, the concept of 'cold resistance' has more or less always existed in the bones of the audience.

"GBG is facing SKT!"

Many veteran viewers who saw the data were extremely impressed.

S3, S5, S6, three-time world champions!

The most decorated club in League of Legends history!

The core player Triple Crown winner Faker is still in the team!

EDG also won SKT and BO5 in the first MSI of S5!

……

"BP session begins!"

With the sonorous sound, the screen was replaced by the crowd waving their cheering items and cheering wildly.

SKT won yesterday's coin toss and chose the blue side in Game1.

"Coach Buckle first banned Kenan, while GBG banned Clockwork Spirit."

"In this mid-season, Faker selected a total of 5 rounds of Clockwork Spirit, which is the hero he picks the most times."

"SKT has disabled the blind again!"

"It seems that they are still very wary of the unfamiliar and familiar Hero."

The Haier brothers looked at the display screen and began to analyze.

And Sun Yalong quietly brushed his somewhat thinning hair. Pushing the long hair behind him forward, he raised his head to look ahead.

"Clockwork, fox, enchantress!"

"GBG, this wrench is a bit funny!"
