Under the prompts of the host, Lin Cheng took the lead and stepped onto the stage and stood on one side of the stage.
It was still the familiar yet unfamiliar circular stage, but there were no cheers or cheering signs under the stage.
Instead, there were paper figures with photos and names printed on them in the auditorium.
When the final was determined to be an offline game without spectators, fans from both sides signed up and started making paper figures with their own images and names printed on them. The officials placed these paper figures at the competition site as witnesses of the final.
This can be regarded as making up for the regret of some fans not being able to go to the venue.
Hmm~~~Although the scene full of paper figures does look a bit underworld.
Lin Cheng couldn't help but turn his head and look behind him.
In the center of the ring-shaped competition seat, the silver championship trophy full of lines shines under the lights.
"TOP:Cheng."
The on-site host began to introduce the players' positions and IDs, and Lin Cheng's tall figure appeared on the big screen.
He slightly raised his chin towards the camera.
Even without the cheers and cheers of the audience, he was still full of confidence.
"Fuck! I want to fence with Brother Chengzi!"
"Brother Cheng is really handsome, and his figure doesn't look like that of an internet-addicted boy."
"Why do you seem to have dark circles under your eyes? Are you okay if you haven't rested?"
"The opportunity for T1 came. Brother Chengzi stayed up late and was in poor condition and was beaten violently by Connor-chan."
"Are you thinking about shit? Even if Brother Cheng masturbates for three days and three nights, he can still pin Canna to the ground and beat her."
“There are so many paper figures, can the LCK do something from the underworld?”
·····
"Jungle:Bono."
Bono, who was on the finals stage for the first time, seemed a little nervous and stiffly waved his hand at the camera.
"Mid:Kuro."
Kuro nodded casually. Although he didn't win much championship, he still had a lot of experience participating in the finals.
Aiming and Tusin also seemed very calm. After all, they are both players who have participated in the World Championships.
After introducing KT's players, T1's five starting players also appeared on the stage one after another and stood on the other side of the stage.
When the host was introducing the T1 players, Lin Cheng suddenly became distracted for no apparent reason.
Well~~~Not having a live audience is not entirely a bad thing.
You see, Faker has so many fans, but he still doesn’t cheer for him?
After all the contestants were introduced, both parties walked to the center of the stage and stood facing each other with their backs to their respective competition seats.
Ten people surrounded the championship trophy in the center of the stage, and their eyes seemed to be in fierce collision.
The camera moved around the field, recording the facial expressions of the players one by one, and freezing this meaningful moment.
After the exit procedure was completed, the players each took their seats in the competition.
Zeyuan: "Here it comes! The game is about to start. The last time the two sides met in the finals was back in the spring of 2017. At that time, KT was unfortunately defeated by SKT and had to chase three. Three years later, today they
Can revenge be achieved?
Although all the KT players from three years ago have left the team, KT fans have been waiting for this moment of revenge for three full years, and the club's grudges will not disappear just because of the change of players."
Remember to answer: "Except for last year's collapse, KT was almost always in the first tier of the LCK before this, and was a strong contender for the league championship.
But it’s very helpless, KT ends up being a side runner most of the time, and SKT is definitely KT’s biggest sufferer. It’s no wonder KT fans are so hostile to SKT.”
Ze Yuan: "There has never been a shortage of stories in the News Agency War. When this year's Spring Split just started, everyone thought that KT would completely fall behind. However, the addition of Brother Chengzi gave KT a new lease of life, and the suspense of the News Agency War also remained.
At the end, it’s time for the final suspense to be revealed.”
Remember: "No one expected at the time that this Chinese top laner would dominate the LCK top lane ecosystem. I still look forward to Brother Chengzi bringing us surprises. Let's see if he can lead KT to overthrow the big devil."
’s rule.”
Zeyuan: "But at least there is good news for KT. As I told you before, T1 will be penalized two ban spots in the first game due to lateness. A good start in BO5 is still very important.
"
Before he finished speaking, the director cut to the selection screen.
BP begins, and T1, which has the priority to select sides, will BAN first on the blue side in the first round.
Remember: "T1 is on the blue side, so relatively speaking, the impact of being penalized two BAN positions is not that big. If the red side is penalized two BAN positions, it will be very serious."
"The impact is huge."
Zeyuan disagreed with his partner's statement, "Although the blue side does not have to bear the pressure of version heroes, it is difficult to limit Cheng Zi's hero pool with only one BAN slot for T1. It feels unreasonable to only have one BAN slot for a hero like Qinggangying.
But if you don’t BAN, you’ll feel very uncomfortable.”
28 seconds passed, the T1 player did not make any operations, and the BAN position was given a bye.
It's the red side's KT's turn to ban the hero.
The camera showed Lin Cheng, who was talking to his teammates and coaches.
Coach Kang Dongxun patted his shoulder and Lin Cheng nodded slightly.
Still no BAN person has been given.
Zeyuan: "KT's players are very cautious. Cheng Zi has been communicating with coaches and teammates. It seems that KT really takes this final very seriously."
Remember: "Maybe the fact that T1 was banned from the team also caught KT off guard, so we waited until the last two seconds to ban them to gain more time to think about the draft behind them."
However, until the last second, Lin Cheng still had no BAN.
KT’s BAN is empty.
Zeyuan: "This... Empty BAN! KT also chose to empty BAN when T1 was punished with two BAN slots! Wow! I'm so confident. It's impossible to say that Brother Chengzi didn't find a hero, right?
He must have done it on purpose."
Remember: "Okay! This style is very cool! Why should I take advantage of you when I can defeat you with my strength? In the worst case, I will have no BAN."
"Damn it! I'm a fan, KT's hands are so cool."
"A real man never takes advantage of his opponent, let's have a real showdown!"
"My brother Chengzi won't be able to bear the consequences!"
“It’s a once-in-a-century empty ban that I can enjoy watching all at once.”
······
Because of Lin Cheng’s empty ban, the Korean commentary booth was in an uproar.
"Wow~~~~Is this KT? Is this KT? Is this KT?"
The Roaring Emperor continuous caster couldn't hide his surprise by saying "Is this KT?" three times in a row.
CT breathed a sigh of relief: "So confident! As expected of KT, worthy of player Cheng, the most aggressive player and the most aggressive team in LCK this season! They believe they don't need to get any extra money from the BAN position.
Help."
English streaming went crazy because of this empty BAN.
The two commentators on the LCK English stream are fans of Lin Cheng. They are called Lin Cheng's bitch by T1 fans, and now they are bragging shamelessly and crazily.
Talking about chivalry, duels between men, upright men, etc., I am afraid that Lin Cheng would blush after hearing it.
