After Chairman Huo finished his speech, there was another round of applause.
A burst of seven-color mist also rose up at the Mahaka site, forming a radiant sun emblem in mid-air as the end of the opening ceremony performance.
At this moment, Su Chen finally breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that his mission was successfully completed, and he had the opportunity to look at the auditorium surrounding the square.
The tourists from China were seated very concentratedly, and at first glance they were all red. On the other hand, the tourists from Europe and the United States were seated more scattered, and it was difficult to tell which country they were from.
Su Chen only glanced twice and saw the couple Guan Zeyuan and Yu Shuang, acquaintances of LPL, both wearing sunglasses and holding five-star red flags, waving to the players on the stage with great enthusiasm.
As the official commentators of the lpl, they were unable to participate in the commentary work in the Tuwei live broadcast room, so they simply came to Jakarta to watch the game live.
Su Chen smiled politely, waved to them on the stage, and followed the team off the stage.
After the opening ceremony, the staff took the eight teams to the backstage lounge.
According to the previous opportunity of the organizing committee, only one large lounge was set up for the exhibition event. However, the League of Legends event had a large number of participants and the competition format was relatively long, so it was made an exception and was changed to one room each for groups A and B.
After entering the lounge, Su Chen immediately took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and moistened his dry throat.
Abu smiled and patted his shoulder: "You performed well just now. I was worried that you would fall halfway through walking, but I didn't expect you to do well."
"I applied for the national flag guard team when I was a freshman. Fortunately, I still remember a few steps." Su Chen wiped the sweat from his forehead and then saw the video sent by Guan Zeyuan on his mobile phone.
Although the camera was a little shaken, the picture of Su Chen raising the flag was still very clear.
It is estimated that this video will soon be circulated on the Internet and trigger a lot of discussion.
After posting this video, Guan Zeyuan also sent a voice message of several tens of seconds with a very excited tone, to the effect that he wished Su Chen and the others a victory in their first battle and a chance to return home with a gold medal.
After Su Chen listened to the voice, the factory director on the side suddenly shuddered and looked around suspiciously: "Why do I have an ominous premonition?"
At the same time, Uzi also stood up, stretching his back with a somewhat unhappy look on his face, saying that he slept in the wrong position last night, as if the old injury had recurred.
"What's going on with each of you?" Abu felt a little confused, but then he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
Fortunately, the players from Saudi Arabia ran over and distracted everyone's attention.
"Hello, friends, the first match today is between our two teams. I want to say hello to you before the match." Fear, the mid laner of the Saudi team, said in English with a smile.
Although he is only in his early twenties, he has a thick beard and a slightly chubby face. He looks much older than everyone else.
Su Chen, who spoke the best English in the team, immediately understood his words and nodded politely: "Hello."
Fear stared at Su Chen for a few seconds, then turned around and shouted to his teammates behind him: "Wickychi, your idol is here, don't you say hello to him?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a tall and thin player with a slightly upward hairline ran over, holding Su Chen's hand with an excited expression and shouted.
"jkd, I'm your fan!"
The factory manager on the side understood this English sentence, raised his eyebrows, and turned his face to the side, as if he remembered something from the past.
Su Chen was also a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the Saudi team members. He did not expect this to happen, so he could only nod awkwardly to express his gratitude.
Soon, players from other representative teams in the lounge of Group A, including Indonesia and Vietnam, also came up to greet the players, and their tone of voice was also very warm.
The contestants suddenly became the focus of the audience. Each of them was surrounded by several contestants from other countries, chattering in English to express their respect.
If the staff hadn't confiscated the players' mobile phones in advance, it would have taken half an hour just to take photos.
However, although the atmosphere was lively, the three teams did not talk to each other very much after leaving. Everyone was still very excited.
With China here, the other three teams in the same group can only compete for the second seed, and naturally regard each other as competitors.
"Brothers, I feel like my world view has collapsed." Xiaotian said with a dull expression after returning from the Saudi team's rest area.
"What's wrong? Who's gay again?" Xiao Ming pushed the bastard's thin waist with his fingers, and the latter immediately let out a strange cry.
"I just saw the keyboard used in Saudi Arabia. Did you know that their keyboard is golden..." Xiaotian's tone was quite scary.
"What's the point? Just change it to a golden keycap," Uzi shrugged disapprovingly, "What's all the fuss about."
"No, no, no," Xiaotian shook his head repeatedly, his eyes a little dull, "They didn't replace the keycaps, the whole fucking keyboard was made of gold, 24k pure gold! 24k, fucking, pure gold! I'm stupid. !”
"Six golden keyboards showed up and almost blinded me!"
Hearing Xiaotian's words, the five people looked at each other and took a breath.
It is said that Saudi Arabia's tycoons are everywhere, and today everyone really saw it.
When looking again at the Saudi athletes who were laughing and chatting not far away, everyone's eyes were a little more awe-inspiring.
Who knows if there might be a member of the royal family, a son of oil, hidden among them. I’ll have to be more gentle later...
After a series of tedious urine tests, the first set of duels in the opening ceremony finally began.
The opening match pitted Indonesia from Group A against Vietnam. Although it was a home game and the cheers were loud, the opening match, including BP, only lasted less than 30 minutes.
The top laner of the Vietnamese team, Stark, used Jax to penetrate the high ground of the Indonesian team in 11 minutes. In 15 minutes, the entire Vietnamese team gained an economic advantage of 10,000. This means that the Vietnamese team played relatively steadily. Otherwise, it would have taken 20 minutes. It'll be over.
In the lounge, the expressions of everyone watching the opening match were also very exciting.
"I said... the level of the Indonesian team seems a bit... why does it feel like they played in the Canyon Diamond Game? It was too chaotic." Xiaotian lowered his voice and said.
"Vietnam is a perennial wild card area after all. It is pretty good outside the five major competition areas. You have to know that the Indonesian coaching staff was only temporarily formed last week. It will be good if they can make up six starters..." Abramovich said seriously. .
"Okay, let me tell you why Vietnam is fighting so fiercely. From the MSI, it feels like hitting them is like chopping melons and vegetables. By now, they all have become gods of war." Xiaotian chuckled.
After the match between Indonesia and Vietnam, Hanguo and Pakistan in Group B also appeared on the stage.
Compared with the Vietnamese team, Han Guo fully utilized the nature of the "exhibition match". He turned into a black magician by dunking the horse, and gave Faker an AP nurse in the middle, and paired it with Nosuke's Gem Sword Master to form a perpetual motion combination.
.
The players of Batie were also stunned by the BP performance of the Hanguo team. They could not find the rhythm of the attack at all. They could only let the Hanguo team gradually encroach on the position and surrendered in 25 minutes.
After the Hanguo team reached the high ground, Abu also stood up from his position and clapped his hands.
"Everyone is ready to enter."
After hearing what Abu said, the players also stopped talking and took out their mice, keyboards, mouse pads and other equipment.
"Let's play Mingkai in the first game. The points have stabilized in the second half of the group stage. Xiaotian will also play a few games to warm up and get a feel for it." Abramovich arranged.
Hearing that he still couldn't start, the Garlic Bastard was quite regretful. It wasn't that he had any objections to Abramovich's arrangement of troops, but he mainly wanted to go to the field to see the six gold medals of the Saudi players.
Soon, under the guidance of the staff, the players in the third group of duels also stepped onto the stage of the competition.
At the moment when the contestants appeared, the Mahaka scene once again erupted with cheers. Tourists holding small national flags waved them vigorously and shouted the contestants' IDs into the camera.
At the same time, in the Tuwei TV live broadcast room, Xiao Cang, Xiao Smile, and Shan Niruo also started taking stock before the game.
"The first two games felt like they ended very quickly. The gap between the main teams is also relatively large. There is no reference in the BP. I don't know how the Chinese team will play in the first game." Xiao Cang was the first to speak.
"Saudi Arabia actually played quite well in the Hong Kong qualifiers. I don't think it is necessarily worse than Vietnam. Their midfielder has something good. I think we should test the water first in the first game and don't underestimate our opponents too much.
." After saying this with a smile, he turned to look at Shan Niruo beside him, "Zhuzhu, what did you say?"
"It's very simple. Leave the game to Uzi, get the three-piece suit, and the game is over. It's very simple." Shan Niruo said with a bright smile.
He is a die-hard fan of Uzi. He is a well-known anchor among the broadcasters. When YM won the spring championship, he uttered wild words, saying that if Uzi did not miss, it would be Jiang Ke University's turn to go to MSI?
As a result, it was criticized that day, and after a sincere apology the next day, it was suspended for a period of time.
However, after Uzi made his debut in the summer season and was in hot form, leading rng to the top of the division, Shanniruo came back to life and even worked on the live broadcast much more diligently. The first broadcast was "What will I do if I don't live broadcast? I will come here every day and broadcast 12 times a day."
hours, 360 hours of broadcasting in a month" standard opening remarks.
"Although this wave is suspected of licking Uzi, in the qualifiers, they have been playing four guarantees and one. Jiang Keda on the road mostly plays tank heroes. Uzi's performance is indeed very important." He said with a smile.
.
"Their gameplay is actually very simple. Let Mingkai protect the bottom lane in the early stage, and choose a meaty hero for JKD who can attack the face. When Uzi is developed, the top laner rushes forward, and Uzi just does damage from behind. That's it.
Such simple brothers," Shan Niruo sighed, "They have no choice but to play like this because Uzi is too strong..."
"Well, your analysis makes sense. Let's see how the Chinese team will do BP in the first game." After Xiao Cang finished speaking, the live broadcast room also switched to the BP interface.
"The Chinese team failed to get the right to choose the side in the first game, and the Saudi team took the initiative to choose the blue side." Xiao Cang said in the voice-over.
In the first round, three bans were banned: Xin Zhao, Crow, and Braum.
Although Saudi Arabia had the right to take the initiative, it still banned Qinggangying, and then banned Kai'Sa and Skateboard Shoes.
"The blue side doesn't want to grab Qinggang Ying? I don't think it's forbidden. I thought Saudi Arabia was going to grab it." Xiao Cang said strangely.
"Qinggangying is the t0 jungler now, so it's definitely right to grab first," added with a smile, "But I have a little LPL knowledge to tell you, when the enemy camp has Jiang Keda, take Qinggangying's
The winning rate seems to be less than 10%. I feel that the Saudi coach must have watched LPL games."
"I feel like I have something to say." Xiao Cang smiled.
In the first choice, the blue side Saudi Arabia grabbed the ad first and locked Xia.
On the red side, Abu was also unambiguous. Lucian and Luo linked up, looking at the mountains and mud and blossoming with smiles.
"Taking Lucian as an example, we have to find a way to grab lane rights in the early stage. In this way, in the third pick, the Chinese team should give the factory director a hero who can do things well in the early stage. There are quite a lot of junglers released. Let’s see if Saudi Arabia will
You will realize this and occupy a pit in advance." Xiao Cang analyzed.
Soon, the second choice of Saudi Arabia on the blue side took the lead in locking in the Spider Queen Elise!
"Spider as a jungler? In the 8.16 version, the legal jungler is actually not very strong, but Spider is indeed a very good tempo hero in the early stage. Is the Saudi team also trying to steal the early stage rhythm?" Smile was a little surprised.
But Saudi Arabia's third choice left the three commentators speechless.
Raven's profile picture was displayed on the blue window on the third floor, and then locked!
"I'm a good boy, even Rui Wen dares to take it. Are you going to fight with a bayonet when we meet?" Shan Niruo was also stunned.
The audience also raised rows of question marks.
Normally speaking, when facing Jiang Keda, if you don't use a tank top laner to resist the pressure, it's fine. If you dare to use Ruiwen to fight for control, isn't this just looking for abuse?
A hero like Raven is no different from a pig waiting to be slaughtered in a disadvantageous situation. He is not as good as a hero like Stone Man. At least he has a big move that can start a group fight.
"What should I say? Saudi Arabia has revealed Raven. I feel like the third choice of the Chinese team should respond with a Swordswoman?" Smile suddenly felt a little hopeful.
However, the red side's third choice still locked up his signature hero Pig Girl for the factory director.
"Abu has locked up the pig girl for the factory director first. The priority of the jungler should be higher. This is no problem, but Sword Girl probably won't be able to choose." Xiao Cang said with a little regret.
"Is there a possibility that this Raven is actually for the middle lane?" Shan Niruo suddenly thought, "I feel that Saudi Arabia's Raven is a test to see if jkd will be able to survive in the group stage.
Keep playing tanks, I remember that Fear really likes to cause trouble."
"It's possible, otherwise I think it would be a bit too bold to select Raven in the first round." Xiaoxiao thought about it and felt that it made sense.
Soon, both sides entered the second round of bans.
For the remaining two ban positions, Saudi Arabia has banned Sword Lady and Ornn.
Instead, the Titan, Tamm was banned.
The camera was also shown to the red party again, and it was their turn to complete the fourth choice.
At the competition table, Abu was walking around in the corridor, communicating with Xiye and Su Chen.
"I feel like the opponent shouldn't take the top laner Raven, what do you think?" Abramovich asked.
Su Chen smiled: "It's hard to say, but it's been a long time since I met someone who can play the role of the four sisters opposite me. Maybe they really have this confidence?"
"But..." Abramovich frowned, trying to recall the information about the Saudi players, but the sample was too small, and it was really difficult for him to judge.
"Forget it, no more guessing, let's just fight our own battles and see how they move." Abu finally made his decision.
In the fourth choice, Xiye won Fatangario.
Since the qualifiers, Xiye's position in the middle has been to push the lane, roam, and have a high fault tolerance rate. Galio, Crow, and Ryze can be regarded as his regular three-piece set.
After the selection, the camera returned to the Saudi competition seats again.
The bearded coach looked very serious. He was walking behind the players with headphones on and kept mumbling something.
During the selection process in Saudi Arabia, the director also specially gave a close-up of the gold keyboards of the Saudi contestants. The dazzling 24k pure gold keyboard once again blinded the eyes of the domestic audience.
Soon, the blue side’s fourth and fifth choices were locked one after another, Alchemy on the fourth floor, and Karma on the fifth floor.
The mystery is thus revealed.
"It's really the mid laner Raven, I guessed it right." Shan Niruo said proudly, "I just said that fear likes to make trouble, so this hand of Raven is definitely chosen for him."
"However, top laner Alchemy is indeed a good choice to mix lanes. The Chinese team also used it when they played in the qualifiers in Hong Kong. This hero doesn't need much equipment. He can mix in the lane and do things in team battles. It is quite suitable for Saudi Arabia.
The lineup." Xiao Cang commented seriously.
"It depends on what the Chinese team will give Jiang Keda in their last choice. Based on their previous play style, I guess they still need to play a hero who can rush into the opponent's formation, but Alchemy has been robbed by the opponent, Tahm, Ornn
No, what should I say, choose a crocodile?"
While talking about his thoughts with a smile, his eyes were fixed on the red square and blank window on the fifth floor, wanting to see what top order Jiang Keda would get in the first game of the group stage.
After waiting for about ten seconds, the last choice finally appeared!
When Shan Niruo saw this option, he yelled "fuck".
He was holding two axes, wearing a two-horned helmet, his burly body was wrapped in warrior leather armor, and he roared with fighting intent.
