135. Bird's Nest opening ceremony, the finals begin!
While the Internet was still in hot debate, Principal Wang treated me to a treat, and everyone at ig who successfully advanced to the semi-finals celebrated in the evening.
After going back to rest that night, the entire ig team flew to BJ the next day.
Everyone is familiar with the Bird's Nest, it is the most popular stadium in the country.
During this period of time, many league fans across the country and even the world are paying attention to this.
The tickets have already been sold out. With ig winning the game this time, many scalpers no longer have to go to the rooftop. Countless people are rushing to buy the tickets that have been sold to sky-high prices. When ig won ssg, these scalpers were definitely the best.
The excited group of people, at this moment, they also became ig’s biggest fans.
The official competition begins on November 4th, and countless people from all over the country gather here in advance.
The same goes for ig. After all, you need to familiarize yourself with the environment in advance and prepare. After flying from Shanghai, Cheng Lu felt a little cold when she got off the plane, so she had to wear an extra layer of clothes.
A few days before the start of the game, ig and skt were preparing for the subsequent games and shooting some pre-game promotional videos.
This year the competition will be held in China, and the official side will also have to prepare for the opening ceremony before the competition, and the venue will definitely be full if held at the Bird's Nest.
On the Internet, the biggest hot spot at this time is the finals between IG and SKT.
Many entertainment stars have turned into ten-year-old fans of the league to cheer for the ig team.
Some not only shout out on Weibo, but many even dress up carefully and shoot personal cheering videos and post them online.
The content basically reveals one’s identity as a League of Legends fan first, and then reveals one’s identity as an ig fan.
However, the audience discovered a phenomenon at this time.
Among male celebrities, most of them like Cheng Lu, a little less Ning, a little less Rookie.
Among female celebrities, there is no second choice, they are all Cheng Lu.
On the Internet this time, the most discussed topic among viewers was the beauties in China. All the four beauties were fans of Cheng Lu, and they stood up to speak out for Cheng Lu.
In this situation, to be honest, Cheng Lu herself announced that she would directly enter the entertainment industry.
The next closest thing to discussion is that Xiao Yang, who looks very similar to Rookie, also stood up to speak out for him. Netizens also teased him as a long-lost brother, and Rookie also won the title of e-sports Xiao Yang.
Of course, the above-mentioned cards cannot compare to the voice of the national media cheering for ig.
The lpl side also officially invited a number of celebrities in the e-sports circle, whether they are celebrities from other games, retired veterans of the league, as well as current players and commentators, etc., all participated in the support.
The short videos shot by everyone are edited and integrated into a film for release.
The appearance of every familiar face in the official release video and the voices of "Go ig!" pushed the pre-game atmosphere to a climax.
Whether it's because of love or any other reason.
At this moment, everyone stood together and shouted "Come on ig!"
······
As the days passed, the audience's excitement became higher and higher day by day.
November 4th will be an audio-visual feast for all alliance players around the world.
finally come.
Today, this year's strongest player will win the championship trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor of League of Legends.
······
bird's nest.
Under the eyes of the whole world, a digital countdown appeared on the big screen at the scene.
All the audience at the scene shouted out the series of numbers.
"10!"
"9!"
"8!"
······
When the number froze at "0", the whole audience was excited, and the familiar Riot Games logo appeared on the big screen.
Immediately afterwards, a video appeared on the big screen. League of Legends fans from all over the world appeared on the big screen and shared their love for League of Legends in a paragraph.
Riot Games is expressing what they want to express through these League of Legends fans.
League of Legends represents the youth of countless people.
And heroes live up to their youth!
At the end of the video, when the faces of players from all over the world were scanned one by one, the screen froze.
The highlight of the opening ceremony is here!
The big screen returned to the scene, and a handsome and familiar face appeared on the screen, which immediately triggered a burst of fanatical cheers from the scene.
Director Jay Chou pointed to the big screen, spoke into the microphone in his hand, and delivered a speech.
"No matter which language you speak, we will leave our own legend in League of Legends!"
The automatic door behind him opened, and the stage appeared in front of his eyes. Amidst the warm cheers of the crowd, Jay Chou turned around and walked onto the stage.
The audience in the live broadcast room were very excited after watching it. Jay Chou's opening was really cool.
At the scene, the opening ceremony really started at this time.
The erhu sounds, and the melodious music tells the beauty of classical musical instruments.
On both sides of the stage, hundreds of men wearing ancient masks stood on the left and right, one in red and one in white, which also corresponded to the confrontation between the red that represents skt and the white that represents ig.
This is a very ancient stage, and every audience member can be immersed in this strong atmosphere. Even the audience in front of the screen feels relaxed and happy at this moment.
With a burst of exciting music playing, the red and white teams took to the stage and showed off their talents on the specially designed and transformed Summoner's Rift terrain stage.
Jay Chou took the stage and sang "Hero" to kick off the finals.
"Life is not a game for one person. Let's fight together and surpass together. Let's kill together, sup brothers!"
"Being wary and victorious can defeat destiny. Regardless of whether he is talented enough or not, we still need to work harder!"
"Your sword is my sword. Can Ai Xi's arrows be more accurate?"
"Hey! You go jungle and I'll control the line of troops. Don't just panic and flash."
"You close your eyes when spinning and jumping. Carter will let you close your eyes after spinning."
"Wukong Galen also spins around in circles, and Mr. Li, the blind monk, kicks you back to your hometown~~"
······
Following the music, an anime MV with elements of League of Legends was played on the big screen. The audience was very excited while watching and listening.
Cheng Lu stood backstage with the ig players waiting to appear. Even though she couldn't see what the scene looked like at this moment, she felt very moved just listening to the music.
There was no tension at all among the ig players at this time, and they even talked about Jay Chou's song.
ning: "I feel like this song by Jay Chou really should be changed. There are so many good songs, why do you want to sing this one?"
n: "This song fits the theme of this time, and it was originally the theme song written by Jay Chou for League of Legends last year."
kid: “It’s consistent, but it doesn’t feel as good as Jay Chou’s other songs.”
"It's okay, I think it's quite magical."
After Cheng Lu finished speaking, she hummed: "I will close my eyes when I spin and jump~~, Carter will let you close your eyes after spinning~~"
Ning smiled and said: "Sister Cheng, did you forget the lyrics or did you mess up the stage?"
"I didn't forget the words. I'll kick you back to your hometown soon..."
······
After the song "Hero" ended, Jay Chou sat on the piano.
As soon as the prelude of this second song started, the feeling came. Some of the songs are really the kind that will give you goosebumps as soon as you listen to them. Fist is indeed worthy of its name as a major music company. It is really good at making music.
Not ambiguous at all.
On September 15 this year, the theme song of the League of Legends 2017 Global Finals - "legends never die (Legends Never Die)" was released by Riot Games.
At this time, I stepped onto the stage of the Bird's Nest finals.
This song has been widely praised since its release. It has been loved by many League players and regarded as a classic. No one does not like this explosive song. Even many people who do not play League have joined in after listening to it.
Collect and play again and again.
When the familiar theme song played and the original foreign female singer came on stage to sing, the hearts of all the audience were ignited with passion, and many people sang along.
legends never die
when the world is calling you
can you hear them screaming out your name
legends never die
they e a part of you
every time you bleed for reaching greatness
······
Goosebumps fell all over the place, and the infectious music continued.
But what comes next is high energy!
When a dragon roar shook the entire bird's nest, and the moment the ancient dragon appeared above the bird's nest, the whole place was completely detonated.
The audience in the live broadcast room watched the shocking scene, and the barrage filled the entire live broadcast room.
【Fuck, awesome!】
【Why are you shouting so loudly!】
[I’m afraid I’ll have to catch two live audience members to eat it!]
[One breath, the whole audience GG!]
[One punishment for each person, wait for death! 】
[This year’s global finals held in China is definitely the most prestigious one!]
······
At this moment, the players from both sides officially appeared, pushing the atmosphere to the peak in one fell swoop.
With the climax of the music "legends never die!", the audience in the live broadcast room followed the camera and looked at Cheng Lu coming on from the backstage, and the ig members who followed behind her.
Behind the white backs are player IDs that are very familiar to the audience.
At this moment, the white color of the ig was extremely dazzling in the scene.
In the Bird's Nest, in this highly anticipated scene, you can see the LPL's own team standing on top. No previous World Championship could give the audience this feeling.
The failure of rng shattered the hopes of many people. In this year, the most promising year, and in this year, when skt was the weakest compared to the previous year, rng was unable to carry the hopes of all viewers.
If there were no IG, perhaps there would be a civil war between two Korean teams standing on the Bird's Nest stage this year.
It is such a grand stage that no one of our own players can stand on it.
This is unacceptable to all viewers.
And now, if rng proves that the dark age of lpl is still continuing, then ig has become the only light to break this darkness.
The audience can still watch this game with a good attitude at this moment, enjoy the stage, and are very active in launching barrages.
This must be the reason why IG’s white touch is standing on the stage.
Some viewers at the scene and in the live broadcast room looked at the ig players on the stage and shed some tears.
They thanked ig in their hearts.
Because of IG, this grand and grand stage is perfect for the lpl audience.
······
At this moment, many emotional audience members were already shouting "ig!" toward the stage.
And Cheng Lu stood on the stage, her heartbeat already racing.
I was excited when I was listening to the music backstage, but my heartbeat was not that fast.
The officially scheduled appearance time was spot on.
Listening to the cry "legends never die!", Cheng Lu walked onto the stage, under the eyes of the whole world, and her ears were filled with cheers.
The feeling this moment brought her was unmatched by any previous competition.
Heartbeat, too fast...
It was very cold today, but Cheng Lu's heart was very warm.
Even though the expression on her face was still trying her best to remain calm, standing on the stage with her hands behind her back and just showing a faint smile, the excitement in her heart could no longer be contained.
She couldn't wait to send skt back to her hometown.
······
At this time, several other members of ig were also very excited, but compared to Cheng Lu, the expressions on their faces were more or less stiff.
The audience members were delighted when they saw it. The six contestants stood side by side. The posture looked like Cheng Lu had brought five bodyguards.
The host of today's finals is Ren Dong. After the opening ceremony, the host took the stage.
"Hello, audience friends, this is the scene of the Bird's Nest S7 Global Finals!"
"On this stage, this year's global championship will be decided. Before that, let me introduce to you the players from both sides."
Standing in the middle of the players from both IG and SKT, Ren Dong began to introduce them one by one.
"First of all, what we want to introduce is the brightest dark horse team from the lpl, which was not favored by others before, but has amazed the world with its performance in this global finals, the ig team!"
Ren Dong raised his voice and shouted loudly.
"The LPL top lane solo kill king who reached the global finals championship stage in the first year of his professional journey! theshy!"
Cheng Lu smiled and waved to the audience, sparking enthusiastic cheers from the audience.
On the big screen behind her, Cheng Lu's makeup photos taken before the game appeared at the same time.
It’s been a long time since I saw Cheng Lu wearing makeup again, with her familiar high ponytail and a strand of hair beside her ears. Her team uniform complemented her fair skin. She was very handsome despite her dashing appearance. Even with the light makeup, she was even more beautiful.
Gorgeous.
The audience in the live broadcast room also happily posted comments. Cheng Lu's appearance today is full marks, and I have to say that ig's team uniforms look more pleasing to the eye than the SKT team uniforms next to it.
"The legendary jungler who has been in the game for many years, kid!"
To be honest, as soon as Ren Dong said these words, Kid couldn't hold himself back.
443 can also be called a legend, right? And even that is still an ad!
"Dispatch the new star jungler with a fierce style, ning!"
"The powerful mid laner who has been at the top of his game for many years in ig and returned to the world stage, rookie!"
······
"Next we want to introduce the three-time global finals champion and defending champion, skt!"
Even though this is IG's home court, there is a lot of support for SKT in the audience at this moment. Some foreign audiences who have come from afar are personal fans of Cheng Lu and Faker. Both sides will cheer, and some SKT team fans also come.
There are quite a few of them, and this kind is actually available in China.
"Aim to chase the championship, huni!"
"Mid-Season Invitational mvp jungler, peanut!"
"Three-time global finals champion mid laner, faker!"
At this moment, fanatical cheers erupted from the scene, and Faker indeed deserved the cheers at this moment.
In the live broadcast room, barrage was also going on at this time. The players from the two teams present were all familiar faces. Many of them could tell a lot of relevant information without the need for Ren Dong to introduce them.
Of course, there is also a lot of fun in this, and the one that has the most fun must be bang, the real world's number one adc, dog-fighting stick, priest, etc. There are a lot of barrages.
Some unfavorable groups were so anxious that they started posting "SKT must win!" barrages one after another.
Anyway, it’s a lot of fun.
After Ren Dong finished his introduction, a short video shot before the game was played on the big screen to help everyone recall the past of both teams in this S7.
IG's side went from the qualifying round, to the group stage, and then to the knockout round, and successively eliminated two strong teams, C9 and Samsung. In these games, many exciting scenes were edited into clips and released.
Recalling ig's previous games, I can actually intuitively find a problem. ig's schedule is very long, but until now, they have all been crushed and won, and they have won consecutively until now.
The scenes in skt are said to be memories, but they are actually whipping corpses.
The background boards in wonderful pictures are basically edg and rng.
In the group stage, edg was 10,000 behind in economy, but skt's wolf used Luo Qiang to open it up, and skt launched a wave of perfect team battles with no solution.
During the knockout rounds, there were even more rng scenes.
That Galio, who is like an RNG nightmare, with Bang's big mouth, directly sprayed the aggressive Uzi mouse to death in the RNG Highland Tower alone...
Watch this intertwined clip of the game between IG and SKT.
The audience in the live broadcast room mostly lamented that ig is really too strong this year, and it feels like they are playing a tortuous game. Rng and edg are indeed lame. As for skt, maybe only some unfavorable groups will mention it.
"SKT will definitely win this year!"
The short video plays to the end.
It was the last move for ig and skt to advance to the final bo5.
The pictures are respectively, in the fifth game between skt and rng, huni's Tathagata Palm shot three times in the small dragon pit, and in the third game between ig and ssg, Vayne's four kills in the big dragon pit helped ig change his fate.
The voices of European and American commentators in the clip are also very passionate.
"Huni transformed into a giant Gnar, and stunned three people with his big move! He followed up with his backhand, and SKT won this wave!"
"Four kills! om my god! theshy got four kills! Who can stop her! Who can stop this ig!"
The audience listened to the passionate voices of European and American commentators and watched these two key team battles that determined advancement to the finals.
The short film ends, and at this moment, the atmosphere has reached its peak.
Whether it is the old king skt who has entered the global finals championship for the fourth time and has a glorious history, or the new king ig who has set foot on the global finals championship stage for the first time and is rising with incredible momentum.
Today, only one can stand on this stage and enjoy the glory.
"Heroes strive for legends, the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals begins now!"

－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
Recommend this book to a friend!!!
In order to save the world, I married a world-destroying villain, and then I found out that he was still a villain, so I decided to kill all the protagonists. Without protagonists, there would be no villains (logical logic!)
