The door of the bus opened, and the omg coaching staff, team members and related staff got out of the bus one by one.
Lu Chen, who was always used to sitting in the last row of the car, pulled on his short-sleeved team uniform, stood up from his seat, picked up his backpack, and walked out of the car.
Lu Chen was the last one to get off the bus. The afternoon sun was a bit dazzling, which made him squint his eyes slightly, and his eyes fell on the magnificent Wukesong Stadium not far away.
The bus stops at the back of the stadium, far away from the main entrance, but you can still hear the noise coming from the small square at the main entrance.
Audiences who came to watch the LPL Summer Season Finals had already lined up at the entrance of the venue and were checking in for tickets.
It is conceivable that the size of the audience at the game will be far larger than the small venue where the LPL regular season is usually held.
Closing his eyes, imagining the scene of the roaring roar of the audience during the game, Lu Chen took a deep breath of the dry and hot air of the imperial capital, and his body trembled slightly.
Is it nervousness?
No, it’s excitement!
Opening his eyes, Lu Chen quickened his pace, caught up with his teammates who were walking in front, and entered the stadium along the dedicated passage.
...
Inside Wukesong Gymnasium.
Backstage in the omg lounge, coaches, players and staff are making final preparations before the game.
Mingzhe glanced around at the team members sitting around, taking in their expressions at this time.
No matter how much they pretend not to care, these young people who have entered the LPL finals for the first time have more or less nervous expressions on their faces. Even the old thief Sima, who is as expressionless as usual, also looks nervous at this time.
Not so comfortable.
Finally, his eyes fell on Lu Chen, but he only saw calmness and confidence on Lu Chen's face.
Mingzhe nodded slightly and cast an approving look at Lu Chen.
This year is the first time Mingzhe has led a team as a head coach. As a head coach, he is actually a newcomer. No matter how much psychological preparation he did on the way here, after arriving at the finals, his mood was somewhat ups and downs.
Seeing Lu Chen's calmness and confidence at this moment, Mingzhe quickly calmed down. Thinking about Lu Chen's outstanding performance throughout the summer games, he felt a little more confident.
In the two bo5 games OMG played on the way to the finals, compared with their opponents, they were the side with the better regular season record.
Therefore, in both bo5 games, they had one more round to choose sides than their opponents.
In the current version, the advantage of the blue side is self-evident. One more round of priority for side selection means an extra chance of winning.
But the finals are different. rng's record in the regular season is better than omg, so rng has priority in selecting sides in games one, three, and five in the finals.
Losing the right to choose sides in one game also made Mingzhe more worried about BP.
However, after looking at Lu Chen at this time, he suddenly felt in his heart: "I have the best top laner in lpl. Playing one less game on the blue side and taking one more counter position on the red side is not necessarily a bad thing!"
There is a whiteboard in the break room that serves as a tactical board.
Mingzhe held a black marker in his hand, but did not make any temporary tactical arrangements before the game.
Looking at the team members again, Mingzhe said: "I don't have any other requirements for you, just let it go. As for tactical adjustments and other things, we will wait until the first game is played. Let's show rng how to deal with it!"
After listening to Mingzhe's words, I said: "Nothing wrong, coach, just wait and see me operate Xiaohu."
world6 immediately said: "Xiaohu just won the summer regular season MVP. Don't be pressured into crazy calling for jungle. I have to help my brother Lu, and I don't have time to help you."
"Damn it, Lu Chen wants to help me even though he's fighting a letme? That's not just a casual fight. Come and help me catch Xiaohu a few more times."
Xiaowu interjected at this time: "Hey, if you ask me, we should focus more on the bottom lane. We are facing Uzi in the lane. Do you understand the suppressive power of Uzi in the lane?"
People in the lounge laughed.
After some jokes, the tense atmosphere that originally filled the omg lounge dissipated a lot.
In the lounge of the rng team next door, I couldn't feel much tension at all.
rng's opponent in today's final, omg, they had defeated twice in the regular season. In addition, rng had already secured its place in the S7 World Championship in advance, which made everyone in rng feel more relaxed.
rng head coach Feng Ge made some temporary arrangements before the game, and several players around him also looked relaxed.
Except letme!
When Brother Feng saw Letme's slightly nervous face, he naturally understood what he was worried about and said, "Junze, ND is not as scary as you think. Just stay calm today."
Letme nodded stiffly.
Mala Xiangguo, who was sitting on the other side, said: "Oh, you are so scared. This land thief likes to press the line. Just look at me and catch him to death."
Xiaohu, who was sitting next to Letme, hugged his shoulders and said, "You'll be done just waiting for me to come."
"Stop talking, the more you talk, the more panic I get!"
...
Above the main stage in the front, on the four huge screens hanging from the roof of the stadium, a documentary officially produced by Riot China on the sixth anniversary of the national server League of Legends is being played.
After the documentary was played, the opening ceremony of the lpl summer finals officially kicked off.
After the opening performance, Zhu Zhen, the host of the Penguin Game League of Legends 6th Anniversary, walked to the front of the stage.
At the previous anniversary celebrations, the on-site host was also this host from Shanghai TV Station.
Zhu Zhen, wearing a white suit and holding a microphone crookedly, started the warm-up phase.
"Wow! I'm very happy today. I came to Wukesong Stadium. Here today, we usher in the first day of the League of Legends' sixth anniversary celebration."
“The overall champion of the 2017 League of Legends Professional League Summer Split will be announced here.”
"Hello everyone, my name is Zhu Zhen."
"Dear summoners in the Imperial City, please bring your enthusiasm to every friend who is watching the live broadcast, come~"
As he spoke, Zhu Zhen's free right hand began to move up and down.
The audience at the scene cheered one after another, and the atmosphere was quite warm.
In the final live broadcast rooms of major live broadcast platforms, barrages such as "Rural wedding master of ceremonies" and "Which wedding company hired this person from?" were frantically floating around.
After another conversation, Zhu Zhen took out the prompt card from the pocket of his pants behind his buttocks.
Next is a long list of viewing channels, interactive channels and the introduction of sponsors and brands.
"Okay, after talking for so long, I have to say some things. And next, it is you who will spontaneously give more cheers."
"Because you are here for them today. Let's get to know each other through the short video. Today we are the first participating team in the LPL Summer Finals."
"Come and see the big screen."
The lights on the stage quickly dimmed, and first the LPL championship trophy appeared on the big screen, and then a person's back.
The camera moves up, and you can see that this person is wearing a short-sleeved team uniform of omg, with the four letters nd].
Then the perspective turned to the front, revealing Lu Chen's rather handsome face.
Then there are the other four players of omg starting today, world6, i, Sima Laothi, and Xiao Wu. They are all given the IDs on the back of the team uniforms first, and then to the front faces of the players, interspersed with the players in the semi-finals.
The game screen in .
One thing to say, OMG's top, middle and jungle trio are pretty good-looking, especially Lu Chen.
As the short video played, a large number of "male ketones" appeared in the live broadcast room, either making jokes or going crazy.
"The forces of darkness once dominated lpl, but everything has become a thing of the past. Now, let us welcome o~m~g~ with applause."
Lu Chen took the lead, and five omg team members walked out of the player tunnel.
"Cheer more and let me feel the atmosphere of the finals, okay!" host Zhu Zhen shouted.
Although omg fans are already shouting as hard as they can, it is obvious that there are more rng fans at the scene today.
Accompanied by the explosive drumbeats, Lu Chen led his teammates to the center of the main stage and walked into the spotlight.
"Okay, then in the next time we will also invite omg's opponents today and get to know them through the big screen!"
The process in the short film is the same as the previous omg. The difference is that it contains rng players and game scenes.
"Success and failure are inevitable on the road to competition. They tell us, never give up, royal never give up,r～n～g～"
Along with Zhu Zhen's roar, the five rng players walked out of the player tunnel. The cheers from the scene were obviously much louder than when the omg players came out.
In the auditorium, a large number of light signs with "uzi" written on them were raised.
After the ten starting players of the two teams in the final appeared in the center of the stage, the host Zhu Zhen said: "Come on, please take our two teams to the player seats."
"Then we will also enter the first game of bo5 today. The commentators in the commentary box and commentary box are also well prepared. We will see you soon!"
The lights on the stage dimmed again, and another short video began to play on the big screen.
The short video flashed through the ten starting contestants in the finals one by one, interspersed with scenes of famous places in the imperial capital, as well as shots of Peking opera with the characteristics of the imperial capital.
The editing of the short film is quite good, but it is accompanied by an English rap as background music, which does not match the Peking Opera scenes that frequently appear in the short film.
There will always be "messengers of justice" among netizens, who can't get rid of the dirt in their eyes.
Someone has already posted on the post forum and cursed: Where did the BGM provided by silent culture lovers come from? It has simply tarnished our Peking Opera.
...
After the short video was played, the lights on the scene came back on.
The camera focused on the three people in the commentary box.
The commentators in the commentary box for today's final are Remember and Guan Zeyuan, and the special guest is former WE mid laner Ruofeng.
As soon as Ruofeng opened his mouth, the barrage in the event live broadcast room started making jokes about Ruofeng.
"Fuck, big nose."
"Hey, isn't this the nose team!"
"What's the name of the nose team? It's called the nose team."
"First there is Ruofeng and then there is the sky. With the card in hand, the sun will be immortal. There is no need to argue to kill the god in the middle. The golden body dragon will blame the sky!"
"Instant explosion, complete double kill!"
"Is Big Nose still selling meat waffles? Here are two."
"..."
Then, the three people in the commentary box began to introduce some data and pre-match analysis of the two teams.
Following the commentator's voice, the camera panned over the players from both teams who were already seated in the contestants' seats.
Today, AR technology was used at the scene to project the half-length photos of the starting players from both sides above the players' heads, corresponding to the players one by one.
The camera panned one by one, and when we arrived at Uzi, a burst of cheers suddenly erupted from the scene.
He is indeed the most popular player in lpl.
The commentator also mentioned Uzi's various statistics during the summer split, which ranked first among AD players and were far ahead of the other AD players behind them.
After the data comparison between the two teams in the summer split was shown on the big screen, remember to say:
"Before the game, of course we still have to listen to how the players from the two teams evaluate each other's opponents, because today is a top-notch matchup, let's listen to what the players have to say!"
Finally the much-anticipated and much-loved trash talk session came.
The short video recorded yesterday started playing on the big screen.
The first one to appear was letme.
"ND's performance... is pretty good. He seems to be able to play a lot of heroes, but I feel like he is good at everything and not good at anything!"
Since it's trash talk, it's natural to be as arrogant as it is.
The screen cut to Lu Chen, who said with a smile: "It's not a question of whether the player Letme is good or not. I feel like he doesn't know everything."
Cutting back to letme, letme showed a slightly awkward smile and said: "Land's laning seems to be quite powerful, but this is all based on the fact that he is always behind the counter position with a hero, and he also
He often calls junglers to help him."
"But don't think that you are the only one who can call the jungler. I will also call my jungler."
Lu Chen: "That's a good relationship. If I kill you alone, you only have one head. It's too slow to develop like this. It's good to call the jungler to give me a double kill and help me develop."
Then, the screen cut to the junglers of the two teams, world6 and Mala Xiang Guo were exchanging comments.
But to be honest, the previous contestants' mutual evaluation session consisted of contestants in various positions on both sides memorizing manuscripts facing each other.
The manuscript was written in advance by the official staff. It is really not lethal. It is just to make the plot smoothly transition from top laner to jungler to mid laner to bottom lane. Those who don’t know better think it is a third-rate domestic online drama.
.
The mutual evaluation session between players, which should obviously be full of excitement, became a bit dull. Even when the mid laner came down the lane later, it almost turned into a mutual praise session, without any sense of ridicule.
None of them are as interesting as the occasional scenes of contestants laughing.
Naturally, there were no waves in the audience.
There is no way, the LPL official has very strict control in this regard, and there cannot be any "real trash talk" like the European and American competitions or the LCK competition, which directly mocks the opponent's trash.
At the end of the trash talk session, one player from each team will make a concluding speech.
In the last part, the official did not arrange for the script to be read from the back, and the contestants were free to express themselves.
The first person to speak was RNG. Uzi said: "Next we have to face OMG in the finals. Although we have already secured a spot in the S7 Global Finals, I will go all out to win the first place in my league.
champion."
Uzi's speech was relatively simple. Although RNG has won the 2016 Spring Split, he has not personally won the LPL championship.
At this time, all the card players in the team came forward, and of course it was Lu Chen who came to speak on OMG’s side.
On the big screen, Lu Chen showed a slightly shy smile and said calmly:
"I have a question for rng. Are you here to compete for the runner-up spot?"
As soon as these words came out, the audience, which had been silent throughout the trash talk, suddenly became lively.
The official event live broadcast room, which had been filled with comments such as "boring" and "boring", suddenly became excited.
"Fuck, crazy!"
"It has to be Lu Shen, he finally has some lethality!"
"Is the introduction the top order for undergraduates?"
"Do you understand the value of top order as an undergraduate?"
"Come on, rng, let's talk. Are you here to compete for the runner-up spot?"
"We are arguing about nm, 59e shut up."
"Oh, hurry, hurry, the imperial army is anxious, your father and I are an edg fan, not 59e."
"Shut up, you bastard. Do you have a right to speak here?"
"..."
As a result, fans from all over the world immediately started to criticize each other on the barrage.
