The format of the second round is different from the first round. The second round of the group stage has a total of four match days, and the matches of each group will be played within one day.
In other words, two teams will bid farewell to the World Championship every day.
According to the order, Group A will start first.
On October 15th, at around 10 a.m., the entire KT team was already waiting in the lounge of the competition venue.
The English live stream has been switched on the big TV screen in the lounge. Taking advantage of the time before the pre-match commentary begins, the host is working hard to promote Spotify, the partner of the World Championship.
This promoted Chinese stream cannot be seen because Spotify has not included China in its service area because the domestic cultural market supervision and review are very strict and users’ copyright awareness is confusing.
The official League of Legends playlist launched by Spotify during MSI this year received good reviews, and many songs that were not related to e-sports were heatedly discussed by LOL players.
When listening to "Your Name", you will see many users cheering for RNG in the comment area. When listening to "Tiamo", in addition to the veteran players cheating to cheer for KT, there are also a lot of question marks.
Hot topic on the playlist: Why did a song like "Tiamo" become a war song?
Because of KT's victory, Spotify also worked hard to promote a wave of championship battle songs.
When others are listening to "Legends Never Die", a promotion like this will automatically pop up below: Come on! Listen to the theme song of the MSI championship team first!
Then as soon as you enter, you will see "Tiamo" with a completely different painting style.
People who don’t know the inside story would never guess why such a soothing and tender song became the team’s theme song.
You must know that "Legends Never Die" alone has more than 100 million plays on Spotify this year. It is hard to say how many people were tricked into listening to "Tiamo" when listening to other Riot songs.
Some users who did not watch the game were the first to ask questions, and then KT fans started to popularize the knowledge.
The most handsome guy in e-sports! The king of KT Rolster! The God of Canyon! Aren’t you curious about the girl group that the God of LOL likes?
Even a little bit.
As a result, Tara’s overseas search volume surged.
Before this year's World Championship, many users who had collected playlists were curious about what theme song KT would choose this time.
When the battle songs of each team in S11 were announced, KT fans started teasing Lin Cheng for not forgetting his original intention.
The battle song chosen by KT for this World Championship is "NO.9".
Obviously, the choice of this song as a war song could only be Lin Cheng's opinion.
What is status within the team?
Many melon-eaters who had never heard of it listened out of curiosity and gave favorable comments.
"NO.9" was once the first MV to be played over 100 million times on China's Yin Yue Channel. It has a lively and dynamic rhythm and an exciting and catchy melody. It has also been regarded as a war song by countless veteran e-sports players in the country.
Of course, if it weren't for Ji Yan and her sisters' new album not being released yet, Lin Cheng would have to choose one of their new songs to help promote it.
As far as Lin Cheng knows, their new album will have a song called "All Kill", and this song title fits KT's current temperament very well.
Kill all your opponents!
It's a pity that even though Jiyeon and her sisters have worked hard, the album release time can't catch up with the world competition. Otherwise, if a track from the newly released album is selected as the battle song, it will be a huge promotion opportunity.
In addition to KT, DK chose "Heroine" by Sunmi. This song is also not comparable to e-sports, and Xu Xiu is almost openly star-chasing.
It's a pity that Brother Shengqiang's status in the team seems to be a bit low. Otherwise, if EDG chooses a song by Girl, S11 will directly become a star-chasing promotion conference.
Fighting for your favorite singer?
Are your fans the top four?
Sorry, fans of our idol are champions!
I'm afraid Spotify will like this stunt.
In addition, FPX chose the S9 theme song "Nirvana", and the mood of dreaming back to the S9 can be seen day by day.
T1’s battle song is the team theme song “Runner” specially created by someone this year. The lyrics of this song itself are related to T1, and there is also this paragraph:
"Legends are immortal and fame will not fade with time. On the day when three stars appear, I will welcome new legends and bear the weight of the crown on the earth that will be stained with blood."
You must know that this song once became KT's highest-voted battle song during MSI because of Zhao Mashi's mischief on Twitter. If it really becomes KT's theme song, KT fans will probably explode.
What news agency is reincarnated?
In the name of KT, the Triple Crown champion has been resurrected, right?
The English stream commentary box started analyzing pre-match data half an hour in advance, and the players were still chatting in the lounge while waiting.
Seeing that Lin Cheng was wearing headphones and looking like he was concentrating with his eyes closed, Little Peanut came over curiously.
"What is Lin Chengyou listening to?"
He picked up Lin Cheng's phone screen and looked at it, "Ha! You force us to listen to Tara's songs and you have to leave positive comments. Are you here to listen to IU's songs?"
Lin Cheng chuckled, "Don't even think about it, what does Zhiyan and I have to do with each other? If you want to hear it, you can listen to them singing it themselves. Even if I want to listen to children's songs, Zhiyan will sing it to me."
Lin Cheng looked embarrassed, and Xiao Huahua secretly gritted his teeth.
Look at this guy's face, he really deserves a beating!
But to be honest...he is so envious.
As time goes by, the audience in each language streaming room has been waiting to take their seats.
Today's first game is the second battle between KT and FPX. There are already countless LPL viewers in the Chinese live broadcast room waiting to witness FPX's revenge.
In addition to the analysis by the host and guests in the commentary box, the competition promotional video for the fourth day was released.
The iconic scenery of Iceland flashed one by one on the screen, including volcanoes, lava fields, glaciers, and oceans.
When the camera turned, Lin Cheng stood quietly in front of the trophy, his face calm and calm,
As the only championship member last year, he looked at his belongings as if it were a matter of course.
This trophy originally belonged to him.
Before the audience could understand the meaning of this shot, the camera turned again.
Doinb raised his chin and looked at the camera with an unruly expression.
"What I want to say to Chaowei is that we will definitely win this game and I will prove who is the better mid laner."
In response, Chaowei sat on the steps and rubbed his hands gently, looking confident.
"The champion must be us."
This action originally felt like something that could be easily grasped, but the "fly rubbing hands" that filled the screen of Chinese stream bullets made it difficult for me to do it.
After the mid laners of both sides passed, the players in other positions engaged in verbal exchanges.
The smell of gunpowder is not very strong.
Until the end Brother Coin appeared again.
"Finally, I want to say to KT, we want to strive for first place in the group, and we have to kill you first!"
After a pause, Brother Coin smiled confidently, "It's just starting now."
"Handsome! Brother Coin is going to slap you black guys in the face today"
"Come on, little Phoenix! Be reborn in Nirvana!"
"Brother Coin: From now on, we will not lose a game!"
"Don't be so loud, you should try to qualify from the group first!"
