Magic City, Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center.
A wave of people gathered at the entrance of the venue.
From time to time there would be ticket sellers delivering messages to the audience waiting at the door.
"Friend, do you want some money? Five hundred pieces!"
"roll!"
A week ago, the S7 semi-finals were held in this glorious venue.
Two days ago, due to the sudden popularity of the lspl league, the original competition venue did not have enough space, so the organizer directly applied to arrange the finals of the lspl winter playoffs here.
This is the first time in the history of the LSPL league that this has happened.
It’s enough to show how popular today’s final is!
The game will officially start at two o'clock. At this time, many heavyweight guests have already arrived.
"Look, isn't that Brother Ba?"
"Beside him is Emperor C!"
"And Mewtwo! Mars Pack!"
Magic City was originally the area where lol anchors often resided.
Before today's winter play-off final started, many anchors on the Internet expressed their support for ym.
I didn’t expect that everyone would be here in person today!
"Hey, isn't this Bingfan? Did you do it again today?" Brother Ba happily smiled at Bingfan who was walking towards him.
"What the hell, you didn't see me doing an outdoor live broadcast?" Bingfan held up the selfie stick, walked to Brother Ba, and asked him to appear in his live broadcast room.
"Brothers, I have caught the evil guy Wang Muba from the canyon zone. If any good brother gives me a carnival reward of 1,000 yuan, I will vent my anger for you now." Bingfan said with a smile.
"Fuck you!" Brother Ba rolled his eyes.
"Let's go, let's go, the game is about to start." Yu Xiaoc urged Brother Ba to go in after taking a photo with the water friends.
"Come on, come on." Brother Ba finished blowing water with a group of anchors.
The two brothers walked into the venue side by side.
…
In the lounge.
Meng Ma, in a suit and leather tie, was in front of the TV screen, explaining tonight's tactical arrangements.
The ym team members gathered around him and watched the video on the screen.
"The core of the vg team's tactics lies in the two positions of midfielder and midfielder. The two players Bengi and Easyhoon work very well together."
"Xiaotian, you have to pay attention to Bengi's jungle route. In the early stage of the left hand, you should try your best to control the lane and limit easyhoon's roaming."
Meng Ma used a marker to make various marks on a simple map of the canyon.
"alu, this is the key ward position you need to place in the entire game. You must remember the order of this." Meng Ma warned.
"Okay, I understand." Assistant Alu frowned and tried to remember the content on the whiteboard.
After Meng Ma finished speaking, he exchanged glances with Su Chen, who was sitting at the end of the team.
The latter nodded, and Meng Ma breathed a sigh of relief.
Two days ago, when pdd announced that he would join ym as the interim head coach.
The ym players all expressed surprise and doubts about the origin of this new coach.
However, Su Chen, who is now the core leader of ym, stood up at the first moment and expressed that he would cooperate with Meng Ma in executing tactics.
This also allowed Xiaotian, Zuo Zuo, and other team members to quickly accept the outsider Meng Ma.
"I think coach Xiao Meng has said it very comprehensively. Don't be nervous tonight, just play our original style." pdd, who was also listening on the side, also spoke at this time.
However, the beads of sweat on his forehead and the slightly trembling arms in his pockets showed that he was actually very nervous.
Su Chen looked at the others.
Xiaotian lowered his head, chewed on his fingernails, and was thinking about something.
In his left hand, he kept holding his cell phone to watch the Easyhoon game video. After watching a section, he would look up at the ceiling and mutter something silently.
Before the finals started, the teenagers from ym seemed like middle school students about to take their final exams. Although they were all laughing and joking on the surface, they were actually filled with tremendous pressure in their hearts.
Although in the past period of time, ym completed a wave of seven consecutive victories, winning 14 small games, breaking the LSPL league record.
However, tonight's b05 is the real big test.
If they lose, then everything they have won before will be meaningless.
E-sports is cruel, the winner gets everything and the loser loses everything.
There is only one ticket to lpl.
"The day has finally arrived." pdd walked to Su Chen's side and whispered.
"Yes." Su Chen nodded and stared at the electronic screen.
"Aren't you nervous at all?" Unexpectedly, Su Chen remained calm even after reaching the finals. pdd was actually a little curious.
How strong is this kid's psychological quality?
"It's a lie to say I'm not nervous," Su Chen shook his head and smiled, "It's just that I'm more excited than nervous now!"
pdd stared into Su Chen's eyes and after confirming that he was not bluffing, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Chen is now like YM's Dinghai Shenzhen.
As long as he can hold his own, then Xiaotian and the left hands won't make any big mistakes.
"Don't think too much. No matter we win or lose, we have come here." pdd patted Su Chen on the shoulder.
"Even if ym fails to break into lpl, I still owe you a big favor."
…
One forty-five p.m.
At the Hongqiao Tiandi Performing Arts Center, the passionate lol theme song sounded.
Under the introduction of the host, tonight's guest commentator makes a shining debut!
"Let us welcome tonight's commentary teacher, Xiaoxiao! Sika! And our beautiful host of lspl, Lin Qiqi!"
The music changed, and on the main screen appeared Sun Yalong (laughing) with a hair transplant and perm, Sika with red hair, and Lin Qiqi wearing a cheongsam.
"Hello everyone!" The three people waved towards the camera.
Unexpectedly, tonight's LSPL league would have a new batch of commentators, which directly ignited the enthusiasm of the audience.
In the live broadcast room, the barrage also started rolling quickly!
“I’m super, even a bald man can have his hair permed??”
"I haven't seen Brother Kazi in the past month. I'm afraid he's not 300 pounds anymore. I thought he was PDD!"
"LSPL actually has a female host? It's the first time I've seen her. I feel she's about as good-looking as Sister Tazi, and her voice is better than Shufen's!"
Xiaoxiao and Sika, who were seated at the commentator's seat, quickly adapted to the atmosphere of the game and started to work directly, boosting the atmosphere of the scene.
"Well, brothers, I just got the news! In tonight's final, the referee team will decide the final outcome based on the number of barrages supported by both teams. Support ym and deduct 1, support vg and deduct 2. Now the game is direct
Let’s get started.” Sika said seriously.
"That's right, brothers, it's up to you who enters the LPL tonight. Hurry up and send a barrage." Sun Yalong also immediately cooperated.
Lin Qiqi, who was looking nervously at the information, was also amused by the two of them.
After the three-person warm-up session ended, they stopped playing tricks and started serious pre-game analysis.
"To be honest, I'm actually quite looking forward to tonight's final. After all, ym and vg are two completely different teams. The former focuses on the matchup advantages of the middle, upper and jungle lanes, while the latter is relatively more biased towards lck.
Operational style." Sun Yalong analyzed while holding his chest.
"That's right, I think both teams have a good chance. On YM's side, Jiang Keda on the road is the absolute strength, while VG has the SKT champion midfielder team. In terms of experience, they should be completely victorious. Each has its own merits."
Ka nodded in response.
While the three people in the commentary box were chatting.
The music in the venue changed, and then the spotlight focused on the stage.
"Let us welcome tonight's final team, the ym players, to the stage!" the host shouted loudly.
YM members wearing black and red team uniforms came to the stage one after another and lined up.
The leader is the most popular player in LSPL today, Jiang Keda!
"Come on Jiang Shen!"
"Ym, give it to me!"
YM supporters holding various props also shouted at this time, giving full support to the teenagers on the stage.
Su Chen looked over and saw many familiar people on the seats.
Brother Ba and Emperor C were eyeing the messenger desperately.
He was leaning on a stool, crossing his legs and scrolling through his mobile phone.
As well as Xiao Chaomeng, who has reached the top of the canyon again, and his double row partner Ma Jiajia.
These were the anchors that Su Chen had fought against at the top of the canyon before.
We all came here today.
Xiao Chaomeng waved to Su Chen on the stage, with some emotion in his eyes.
Su Chen smiled, made a fist with his right hand, and hit his chest.
A close-up shot of him also appeared on the big screen.
This can be regarded as his response to the people who came to support him.
"Next up is the overlord of the winter playoffs, vg!"
Amidst the sound of music, the members of vg appeared one after another.
Easyhoon, the vg mid laner with a thin face and calm eyes, is known as Mr. Hou.
Wearing glasses and an elegant vg jungler, Bengi!
Behind the two of them were vg's top laner, Jin Gong, and the bottom lane AD and auxiliary players.
Amidst the boiling shouts.
Compared to the nervousness of the ym players, the vg players seemed much more comfortable, as if they had a winning chance.
Xiaotian, who was standing next to Su Chen, looked at the other side of the stage and couldn't help but swallow.
Tonight, the Bengi he will face is SKT's front jungler Bengi who holds three S crowns.
This title alone is enough to make Xiaotian feel tremendous pressure.
The left hand also had the same idea. The easyhoon he wanted to face was the man who once put Faker on the bench.
"Don't be too nervous. The opponent is very strong, but we are not weak either. Just calm down and play as a normal rank." Meng Ma walked back and forth between the teams, trying to relax the emotions of the players.
Compared with the autocratic style of former coach Zhou Xinchen, Mengma's coaching style is obviously a different style.
This also made Su Chen feel a little more appreciative.
"Get ready." Su Chen said.
With his words, the nervousness in the hearts of the other four ym team members inexplicably dissipated a lot.
As Su Chen's current strength increases, the special skill [Stabilizing Aura] can not only eliminate Su Chen's own negative emotions, but also have an impact on other people around him.
However, in the eyes of others, it was Meng Ma's encouragement that made the difference.
"The 2017 lspl winter playoff finals are about to begin!" accompanied by the host's cry.
The players on both sides were also seated in the game seats.
Tonight's final will be a b05 event. The team that wins three games first will win this series.
As the head coach, Meng Ma also came to the center of the stage and guessed coins with the vg coach to decide the side selection in the first game.
Fortunately, Meng Ma successfully guessed the head and tail of the coin, giving ym the right to choose the side in the first game.
Mengma chose the blue side.
The game officially begins!
On the big screen, the bp interface appeared.
In the first three bans of ym, they banned the three heroes Galio, Luo, and Skate Shoes respectively.
The vg on the red side has banned the three heroes Qinggangying, Sword Girl and Sword Girl.
"VG's first three ban positions were all given to Jiang Ke University's best heroes! Isn't it so straightforward without even testing it?" Sun Yalong laughed.
"I also thought that the first game of the vg finals would not be against Jiang Ke University so soon. It's a pity that Jiang Ke University's Qinggang shadow can't be seen." Sika said.
In the first round, all ban positions will be exhausted, and ym from the blue side will choose first.
ym’s first choice is the small cannon!
"Hey, this ym's new coach has something good. He directly put Galio in the ban position, and instead of choosing the gangster in the bottom lane, he chose a small artillery to replace the ban?" Sun Yalong analyzed.
"That's probably it. To be honest, ym's bottom lane is a bit unsatisfying. Instead of choosing an ez or wheel mother to mix in, it's better to get the small cannon with the highest winning rate first. It's better than letting the opponent get it." Sika nodded.
Respond.
The camera comes to vg.
After waiting for a few seconds, vg made the first and second choices, locking the mouse and the wind girl, and also went out of the bottom lane combination first.
"If the ad on the other side takes the mouse, choose the second or third choice. We will play Nosuke first. Blind Man or Leopard Girl, Xiaotian, you can choose one here." Meng Ma said.
Xiaotian thought for a while and said: "Leopard girl, I'm afraid the bengi opposite will take it."
Meng Ma nodded in agreement.
YM's second and third choices were locked in Kalma and Leopard Girl.
vg’s last choice also locked the jungler’s prince.
Both sides kept Zhongshang in the second round of BP.
The remaining two ban positions.
YM banned Shen from the top lane and the plane from the middle lane.
And vg sent Enchantress and Ike to the ban position.
"After three bans, vg banned two mid laners. This is really decisive." Lin Qiqi said in surprise.
"To be honest, I think it's a shame that vg doesn't have a five-ban top laner," Sika said with a smile.
"In that case, if YM is in the middle or top, I'll probably choose Crocodile Clockwork. Let's see how VG responds." Sun Yalong analyzed.
After the second round of bans ends.
It's vg's turn to choose first.
In the fourth selection position, VG swung back and forth between the three heroes of Clockwork, Syndra, and Rockbird, and finally locked on Syndra.
As for ym, the last two positions, as Sun Yalong said, are locked to the crocodile Jasindra.
It’s vg’s turn for the last choice.
In the live broadcast, the face of VG top laner Jin Gong appeared.
After Jin Gong communicated with his coach and teammates, Jin Gong locked in on Kenan.
The lineups on both sides are full.
On the road: Crocodile vs Kennan.
Jungler: Leopard Girl vs Prince
Mid laner: Clockwork vs Syndra
Bottom lane: Cannon Karma vs Mouse Fengnu
lspl winter playoff finals, the first game of b05.
