The torturous waiting time passed slowly, and the date for the finals finally arrived.
At six o'clock in the afternoon on October 29th, Los Angeles local time, just after digesting the tomahawk steak dinner at the hotel, the energetic edg team took the bus and arrived in the city center.
The road outside the Staples Center Arena has been fenced in advance. The roadside is full of EDG and SKT fans waiting to enter the stadium, wearing clothing with team logos and holding support lights and posters.
There is an official League of Legends cosplay event at the entrance, and volunteers are distributing stickers and cheering sticks to fans and spectators entering the venue.
Through the window of the bus, she saw some SKT fans with SKT wings stickers on their faces, which immediately triggered memories for Miha.
She remembered that SKT's ADC player Bang had two particularly famous looks! One was the Xia cosplay in a certain All-Star Game, and the other was the classic look of the S6 World Championship with SKT stickers on his cheeks!
As a time traveler, Old Silas, how could he allow someone more beautiful than himself to be on the court!
However, there were too many people at the scene. If she went to pick up the stickers in person, she would probably be surrounded by fans immediately.
Then you can only find an errand boy!
"Coach, look, they are handing out EDG team stickers over there. They are so beautiful." Meixia said skillfully.
"Hey! The design of the edg team logo is pretty good..." Abu was halfway showing off his design vision when he understood from mika's eager eyes, "Why, mika, you want to put it on too?!"
"Please!" Mixia immediately nodded and begged.
Soon after the bus stopped, coach Abramovich hurriedly crossed the street from the player entrance to the audience entrance, and breathlessly exchanged Mika's signed team uniform for two stickers from volunteer fans.
Miha put one on his cheek, and coach Abu put one on his forehead.
Seeing the effect on their faces, mouse and the factory director couldn't help but laugh.
"Haha, with the same sticker pattern, why do Mika and Coach feel completely different when they stick it on?"
"Coach, I think it's better to wipe it off quickly. Our EDG's benchmark is ugly enough. If you put it on, it's like a band-aid."
Abu realized the problem and wanted to wipe it off, but how could Meixia allow it?
Red flowers need green leaves to set off!
She quickly defended, "No, the EDG team logo is very beautiful, and the coach is also very suitable! Don't wipe it off!".
…
Soon, the players walked through the backstage passage and entered the lounge to wait, while the audience began to enter the Staples Center venue.
Coach Abu made the final mobilization with a straight face.
"I have done a lot of analysis on SKT before the game. I believe you are all familiar with the opponent, but the game is about to start, so I still have to emphasize it again!"
"Compared to Rox or Samsung, SKT's strongest point is the duo of mid lane and bottom lane! I am very confident about Mika in the mid lane, so our biggest instability is still the bottom lane."
"The old foxes of Bang and Wofl in the lane, I believe you have already experienced Deft in LCK. They are different from Pray, the Rat King who has declined in operation, or Ruler, who is stupid. This summer's Bang is completely the engine of SKT, but Faker is the engine of SKT.
MSI was depressed for a long time after losing to Mika, resulting in the playoffs failing to reach the finals.
And Bang is a classic LCK shooter. Generally, in laning, he is very good at finding positions to maximize output, so our strategic goal today is to hold down the opponent's bottom lane during the laning period and prevent Bang from reaching his best area in the later stage!"
"Bang won't be my opponent in laning! Besides, meiko and I have hidden tactics!" deft replied confidently.
"Don't worry, coach, I will take action too!" Meixia followed, "In the laning phase, just wander down the lane to put pressure!"
Abramovich nodded, and then continued to put pressure on the team, "Of course! I'm not putting pressure on Deft and Meiko. In fact, it's not just the bottom lane. League of Legends is not a one-person game. If we want to defeat SKT and win the championship, each of us will do it today."
Must be the best ever!"
Fortunately, when Abu spoke, the sticker on his forehead moved up and down along with the forehead lines, and the seriousness disappeared immediately, and everyone felt relaxed.
Then I reviewed the tactics in terms of vision and operations.
Time passed quickly in the lounge, and at 6:30 in the evening, all the audience in the hall were admitted.
On the live broadcast screen in the lounge, Meixia could see that the audience was full, and she even found her parents and sister in the camera.
The father was wearing a formal suit, and he did not look like a spectator at an e-sports competition, but more like a white-collar worker who had just gotten off work. The younger sister lowered her head and played with her mobile phone, probably posting live news online.
The most conspicuous person, and the reason why Miuka found her family at a glance, was naturally her mother who was wearing the traditional kimono of the island country.
Sitting there, he is more eye-catching than the handsome men and women in the League of Legends cosplay in the front row. It’s impossible not to notice!
Meixia took out her mobile phone and sent a private message to her sister's account.
[Stop playing with your cell phone, look at the player channel, your sister is about to appear, I want to hear your cheers!]
After sending the private message, but without waiting for a reply, backstage, the staff came into the lounge to notify the contestants to take the stage.
Meixia immediately put away her cell phone and followed the director through the contestant tunnel to the stage.
In the Staples venue, the opening ceremony started, starting with a symphony performance. As the countdown in the sky ended, the Hextech Treasure Box appeared in the center of the stage.
Spider, Nami, Dragon Girl, Ice, a series of heroes and skill special effects emerge through virtual projection technology, and finally Ryze's Rune Confinement opens the treasure chest.
Heavyweight guest performer zedd, who is also the author of the s6 world championship theme song, appeared in the treasure box and played the s6 electronic music theme song ignit.
At the same time, the finals promotional video, which was re-edited according to the rhythm of the theme song, was played on the big screen!
Along with the exciting drum beats and restless guitar strums, highlights of each player's operations were also cut into the promotional video. Duke's Gnar steals crystals with a single belt, mouse's Jess pokes from far away, and Bengi's Olaf rushes into the battle.
, the factory manager withstood the heavy pressure of the blind monk's roundhouse kick, faker's gauze rng's clockwork, Ryze's one-on-three counterattack in the American Summer semifinals...
The atmosphere at the scene reached a climax!
The high-spirited music disappeared, and the scene first fell into a brief darkness, and then a dazzling beam of light illuminated the entire stage.
Players from both teams all appeared on both sides of the stage.
And the shining silver Summoner’s Trophy, coveted by countless professional players! is standing on the pedestal in the center of the stage!
The silver-haired live host stood next to the Summoner's Trophy, "Hello! Summoners! Welcome to join us! What is about to begin in front of you is the championship battle for the League of Legends 2016 Global Finals!"
"First of all, let's welcome EDG from lpl!"
Fireworks soaring into the sky were released at the scene!
The host introduced the contestants one by one, and every time he called out a name, he was greeted by a loud roar. When he arrived at mika, the host paused for a longer period of time, and the audience's shouts were extremely loud.
When Mixia shouted her name, she smiled and waved forward. She could see the shouts of her younger sister and parents in the audience, and then turned to say hello to the SKT players.
At this time, you can already see that there are stickers on Bang’s face, but unfortunately, it is me, Mika, who appears first! What is the transcendent version of Silas?
"Then, let us welcome the team from lck," after introducing edg, the host pointed his finger to the other side. "Double champion s-k-t-tone!!!"
Bang also noticed the stickers on the faces of Mixia and Abu. In S6, he has successfully lost weight and is relatively handsome. However, with Mika, who can directly join the girl group with good looks, it is really hard to beat him. The handsome appearance that he finally prepared was completely ignored.
Sakura girl is so competitive.
However, the coach Komma next to him, wearing a scarf with skt printed on his shoulders, beat edg coach Abu!
Bang was thinking about something, while Faker, who received the most cheers from SKT, had no thoughts about the appearance of the scene. He waved to the audience, and then nodded to Mika who had just greeted him. At this time, the big devil only thought about one thing.
