Chapter 402 Forging the glory of LPL, we are duty-bound!
On the afternoon of November 4, the Bird's Nest Stadium was packed with seats.
Many spectators even bought high-priced scalper tickets to watch the game, just to witness the LPL team lifting the Summoner's Trophy.
At this moment, almost all domestic League of Legends players are supporting omg.
Because the lpl division has longed for this s championship for too long.
What's more, the composition of the players of the OMG team, which has no foreign players from other divisions, is the all-China class that best represents the LPL division.
In the center of the Bird's Nest Stadium, a large piece of lawn that was originally used as a football field has already been set up for the finals competition stage and the performance stage for the opening ceremony.
Of course, the opening ceremony of the finals will start first as everyone is looking forward to it.
On the big screen at the scene, as the opening ceremony began, there was a video of the interview situation.
The theme is that League of Legends changed their lives.
In fact, there are professional players, commentators, game practitioners, and of course ordinary people from all over the world.
The vast number of League of Legends players around the world are connected because of their love for the game League of Legends.
Lu Chen, who saw this video in the background, became more determined in his original intention.
When you play League of Legends, what is the simplest statement you can make?
It’s about winning the game!
At this point, there is no difference whether it is an ordinary matching game or an S-match final.
Lu Chen told himself this in his heart, and also said it to his teammates.
The purpose is of course to relieve the tension of teammates.
Treat this final as the most ordinary game and find your original intention when you first started your career.
At this time, in the OMG team, apart from Lu Chen, the calmest person was the old thief Sima.
Marco's attitude towards professional e-sports is very simple and innocent. This moment is his dream, and of course he has to realize it.
The calmness of the two "eldest brothers" in the team, Lu Chen and Sima Laothi, has more or less infected the other teammates. World6, who was the most nervous before, has calmed down a lot now.
The video on the big screen at the scene also played to the end, and faces flashed across the stage quickly, and finally settled on one face.
This face belongs to - Jay Chou.
Jay Chou raised the microphone to his mouth: "No matter which language we speak, we will leave our own legend in League of Legends."
The scene suddenly erupted into huge cheers. There is no doubt about Jay Chou's popularity.
It's great that Jay Chou is the guest performer at the opening ceremony, but this is the song he chose...
The opening song was a song that Jay Chou had previously composed for League of Legends - "Heroes". This song is really hip lifting, even though it was written by Jay Chou, it does not affect the hip lifting.
The tens of thousands of spectators at the Bird's Nest were so embarrassed that they almost had cancer. Fortunately, the song ended quickly and entered the highlight of the opening ceremony.
As Jay Chou played on the piano, the prelude of the theme song of this global finals - "legends never die" sounded.
In the opinion of many people, this theme song may be the best theme song of all previous S games.
When the theme song reached the second half, a huge ancient dragon flew over the bird's nest, soared in a circle, and stopped on the stage.
Of course, this is a special effect that only appears on the big screen at the scene and in the live broadcast.
However, this is still shocking enough.
The huge Bird's Nest Stadium, the huge ancient dragon, the finals of this global finals, the cards are already full, and the viewing atmosphere has been pushed to its peak.
When the theme song came to an end, the starting ten members of the two teams OMG and SKT in the finals came to the end of the stage one after another.
"This is Country Z bj. Welcome to the League of Legends Global Finals. Summoners on the scene, show your enthusiasm and let us welcome the team to the stage~"
Just as the music ended, the voice of Ren Dong, the host of the final opening ceremony, sounded on the stage.
The players of the two teams followed the order in the game, with top laner at the front, support at the end, followed by the substitutes and head coach. They were divided into two channels, from the back of the stage to the center of the stage and stood there.
"The two teams coming to the finals are - skt team and omg team. Cheers, welcome them~"
When Ren Dong shouted omg, the scene was already filled with cheers.
In the middle of the two teams of players, there is a small square pillar, on which is placed the Summoner's Trophy, which symbolizes the highest honor of the League of Legends professional competition.
At this time, next to the Summoner's Trophy are the top laners of the two teams, Lu Chen and Huni.
Lu Chen could see clearly that when Huni came to stand next to the Summoner's Trophy, he couldn't help but stretched out his right hand and touched the championship trophy.
There is a little mystery in the football world that if a player of any team touches the championship trophy before the final, that team will often lose the final.
Although this is just a somewhat superstitious psychological effect, this psychological suggestion makes Lu Chen feel more stable and more confident about the upcoming finals!
"First of all, we want to introduce the No. 1 seed from the LPL division - OMG team!" Ren Dong's voice was full of energy.
"Welcome omg~"
There was another burst of cheers at the scene.
Then a picture of Lu Chen appeared on the big screen at the scene, and Ren Dong's voice sounded at the right time.
"The solo kill king of this year's lpl summer split, the solo kill king of this year's global finals - land~"
An even louder cheer resounded throughout the audience and lasted for a long time, which showed Lu Chen's popularity.
Then, Ren Dong introduced the other starting players of OMG one by one, and then substitute Jiekou and head coach Mingzhe also introduced them.
The home audience of the Bird's Nest also cheered for them, but the volume was much lower than when Lu Chen was introduced.
"Summoners on the scene, let us welcome the omg team once again!"
"Next, we want to introduce the three-time global finals champion and defending champion skt~"
There was also a burst of cheers at the scene.
Judging from the volume of the cheers, they were not entirely polite cheers, but many were sincere cheers.
This is the influence of the Triple Crown. Even in other people's home stadiums, there are still many supporters.
In the LPL competition area, there are still relatively few. If placed in the European and American competition areas, SKT will only have more supporters.
"It's my first time to be on the finals stage, aiming to chase the championship - huni!"
"..."
Then came the introduction of SKT's players. Neither Huni nor Peanut caused much cheers. After all, this is the home court of the LPL division.
The shouts that rang out from the audience were basically polite responses.
Can't let others say that our library is not good?
but...
"Three-time global finals champion mid laner——faker~"
When Ren Dong introduced Faker, there was a huge cheer, and the loudness erupting from the audience was no lower than when Lu Chen was introduced.
On other people's territory, the popularity is no less than other people's leading players. I have to admire Faker's popularity and influence.
Of course, among e-sports players, this popularity and influence, which is currently unique in the world, are all achieved by faker’s countless highlight moments on the field in the past few years.
"..."
"Let us welcome skt t1 once again!"
"Heroes chase legends, the final battle of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals begins now~"
With Ren Dong's words, the players and coaches of the two teams on the stage turned and walked off the stage and began to make final preparations before the start of the final bo5.
On the big screen at the scene and in the live broadcast, a pre-match promotional video featuring OMG members and SKT members began to play.
First, a review of the process of the two teams advancing to the finals, and then the inner expressions of the players of the two teams about this final.
Of course, all players on both sides expressed their desire for this championship.
Which side is more eager depends on the performance later in the game.
However, Lu Chen's words at the end of the promotional video resonated strongly with many viewers who supported lpl.
"No one can predict the future, I can only grasp the present!"
"Although this is only my first time participating in the global finals, if I only get the runner-up this time, it will be the biggest regret of my career!"
"The lpl division has the most players in the world. No matter now or in the future, I think the lpl division should win the s championship!"
"As a professional player in the LPL division, it is our duty to achieve the glory of LPL!"
All LPL viewers who watched the pre-game promotional video online felt Lu Chen's determination, belief, and desire to win that overflowed the screen when they saw and heard Lu Chen's last words.
This passage began to spread quickly on all Chinese-language Internet sites where League of Legends events were discussed. Even the last sentence, "It is our duty to build the glory of LPL," hit many social networks in the short period of time before the official start of the final Bo5.
Software hot search list.
...
"Okay, dear viewers, welcome back. What we are about to bring to you is the ultimate battle between OMG and SKT."
Guan Zeyuan's voice came from the commentary box.
The live camera panned from outside the soundproof glass room on the stage. The ten starting players from both sides were already in place in the glass room and were doing the final debugging and confirmation work.
Then, the outfield camera switched to the glass room, chasing the players from both sides sitting on the chairs.
Everyone's expressions seemed to be normal. After all, the fight hadn't started yet, and no one showed any nervousness or other strange emotions on their faces.
The camera cut back to the commentary box, where several people began to chat before the game.
"There is a very interesting data before today's game!" Guan Zeyuan said with a smile.
"Oh?" Rita was quite curious.
"In previous global finals, Pray's team was eliminated..."
After a slight pause, Guan Zeyuan continued: "The teams that eliminated Pray all won the championship!"
"Huh? What kind of buff is this?"
"In 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2016, in the four global finals that Pary only participated in, all the teams that eliminated Pray won the championship!"
Following Guan Zeyuan's words, Changmao said with a smile: "Then the person who eliminated pary this year is..."
Many people still choose to believe in metaphysics.
But, when these words come from Guan Zeyuan's mouth...
On the barrage in the live broadcast room of the event, "Guan Zeyuan shut up!" This barrage has already swept the screen.
"Okay, let's not talk about such metaphysical topics."
Although it was impossible for people to take out their mobile phones and read the barrage at the Bird's Nest site, Guan Zeyuan seemed to feel the barrage situation at this moment.
Shrinking his neck, Guan Zeyuan said loudly: "Let us hand over the camera to the commentary box!"
Of course, the camera won't cut to the commentary box right away. It has to show an advertisement for the sponsor first.
After the Mercedes-Benz commercial, the live camera came to the commentary box.
"Okay, dear viewers, welcome to the championship game of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals. Hello everyone, I am the commentator."
"Hello everyone, I'm Miller."
"Hello everyone, I am pdd."
For this much-anticipated final, the lpl's on-site commentary arranged remember that Miller partnered with three special guests pdd.
As the veterans of lpl commentary, the Doll Miller duo, who never miss important events, actually broke up in the finals this time.
Perhaps considering that OMG's semi-finals were narrated by Doll Miller, which would cause audio-visual fatigue in the audience, LPL officials combined some of the commentary from the two semi-finals of RNG and OMG.
pdd and remember, they commented on last week's semi-final match between rng and skt.
The three people in the commentary box were also combined in this way.
"Today we finally ushered in the championship game at the Bird's Nest. After three years, the finals of the S-game once again have the participation of the LPL team!"
After introducing myself, I remember saying something involuntarily.
"Yes, the last time was the Royal Family of S4." Miller said: "So, no matter what the result of today's final is, of course we hope that omg can win, but if omg ultimately loses this final.
..”
"I hope that the audience can treat the result of this game with a normal heart. It is not easy for omg and them to get to this point."
Miller took a precaution when he came up and lowered his expectations first, so as not to find it difficult to accept it later.
Or maybe Miller is really a little pessimistic, because so far, SKT has not lost a Bo5 in the global finals.
"Ya'er, Miller, you can't do this! Each of the two teams won one game in the group stage. I think it's a 50-50 tie between the two teams." pdd said with a smile: "Let's change the topic and discuss this game.
What to watch.”
"If we want to talk about the highlight of this game...then the first thing we should pay attention to is Lu Shen and Faker, one on the top lane and one in the mid lane."
"Yeah, it's a pity. It would be great if Lu Shen and Faker played the same position. It really seems like we can see them facing each other!" pdd touched the back of his head.
Then he added: "The absolute strengths of both sides are one in the top lane and the other in the middle. I think the key to this bo5 lies in the bottom lane of both sides!"
It is rare to say that in such a version that belongs to the bottom lane, when other people mention the two teams in the finals, their key positions will not be thought of in the bottom lane.
At this time, I remember suddenly saying: "Okay, the news I just got is that in the first game, omg, who has the priority to choose the side, actively chose the blue side."
"The players on both sides are ready, and the first game of the finals is about to begin!"
