The opening ceremony of the finals also completely let the world see the charm of hosting the global finals in China.
As Jaylen's piano accompaniment and the theme song "Legends Neverdie" sung by h-day ssyostanza rang out, cheers from the scene also rang out.
At the climax of the song, countless viewers in front of the screen saw a scene that shocked them.
Above the bird's nest, the ancient dragon roared and circled.
The barrage of "f*ck" took up the entire barrage for a while.
"Dragon! Real dragon! Damn it!"
"It's a real dragon. I was at the scene and saw someone being taken away with my own eyes!"
"What you said above is correct. I was the one who was taken away. I can testify!"
"Oh my god, the opening ceremony of this S7 finals is so full. I'm so glad that our LPL team is participating in such an opening ceremony. If it were two Korean teams, it would be such a good opening ceremony.
It’s such a pity.”
"I got goosebumps when I saw it."
"The game is about to start! Can't wait!"
Amid countless discussions on the Tieba forum, the opening ceremony of the finals came to an end.
When the theme song came to an end, contestants from both sides walked onto the stage from both sides amid the jet eggs in the venue.
The two teams passed through a long and narrow road and finally came to the center of the stage, where the trophies were placed.
As the commentators introduced the players from both sides one by one, the cheers on the scene became louder every time a person was introduced.
When the commentator introduced Faker and Li Luozhi respectively, the cheers on the scene soared to the sky, and they were no different.
Li Luo was wearing a white ig uniform, standing in the sunshine with a calm expression.
On the other side, Faker, who is wearing a red uniform, is white and red, clearly standing out in the center of the stadium.
"So handsome."
Sitting somewhere in the infield, Luo Mei had just woken up from the shock of the opening ceremony. Looking at the tall figure in the field, his expression was full of relief.
"That's right, you don't even know whose son it is, right? Xiaohong."
Li Quan was all smiles.
For him, today may be the happiest day in the past two years.
Although Li Luo came to the capital two days ago, he never returned home due to heavy training tasks.
Until today when I saw Li Luo on the stage not far away, I felt like a family of four were together.
"Yeah."
Li Hong helplessly dealt with his father, but his eyes fell solemnly on the SKT crowd.
Triple crown winner.
Xiaoluo must be under a lot of pressure right now, right?
When the players from both sides were introduced and took their seats one after another, the trash talk session that attracted the most attention from the audience began on the big screen on the stage.
In the promotional video, the setting sun at dusk passes through the leaves and falls on Faker, whose forehead is slightly covered.
faker's dubbing also sounded.
"This is my fourth time entering the global finals. I have won the world finals three times before this and am at the top of the League of Legends. But I will not stop, because for me
Say, my only enemy is myself."
The dubbing voice fell, and Faker's confident face appeared on the screen.
The place was buzzing with noise.
faker.
The well-deserved number one player in the league so far.
The audience knows clearly that if SKT can win the final championship today, then Faker will win three consecutive championships in his career!
For latecomers, even three non-consecutive world championships are difficult to achieve.
Not to mention three consecutive world champions.
Faker's direct appearance in the first scene of trash talk caught all the viewers by surprise. The confidence and aura revealed on the screen made many ig team fans a little worried.
Before the start of the finals, when the external network voted to determine the winning and losing support rates, the ratios given by the external network were 78% and 22%.
In other words, 78% of foreigners still believe that skt can defeat ig and faker can win three consecutive championships.
In China, naturally more people think that ig can win, but the rate only reaches 65%, and 35% of people think that skt can win.
This shows how large the shadow area that SKT brings to LPL viewers.
And when Faker's shot ended, Rookie's figure appeared.
Different from faker.
Faker reaches out to block the sunlight above in the camera lens.
But Rookie squinted his eyes and raised his head to face Aung Guang.
"This is my second time entering the World Championship. Although I long for it in my heart, I never thought that the championship trophy that only appears in dreams would be so close to me this time."
As soon as the camera turned, the five members of IG were photographed in front of the trophy with their arms folded across their chests. All five of them had expressionless faces, but the pressure from the entire team instantly overshadowed Faker alone.
"We have overcome so many difficulties, and there is only one last step left. We will definitely be able to take this step, definitely!"
Rookie spoke in Chinese word by word.
Although Rookie still has a weird tone when speaking Chinese at this time.
But in this huge bird's nest, there were countless spectators cheering for Rookie.
As a Korean, I don’t speak a word of Korean at the Bird’s Nest home stadium in China, but only use Chinese. This attitude deserves respect.
Then what appeared on the screen were Little Peanut and Little Hei.
The handsome little peanut on the left twirled the leaves with his fingers, and his voice also sounded: "Last year, we unfortunately stopped in the semi-finals. Our opponent was SKT, but to be honest, I felt that I played well in that game.
It’s very good, so with my joining, this year’s champion will definitely be skt.”
Xiao Hei beside him said slowly: "In the Mid-Season Invitational Tournament, it was my first time to participate in an international world competition. I felt very nervous at first, but now that nervous feeling is completely gone.
There will be, IG’s jungler, just wait for my challenge, I hope you can defend your jungle area.”
"What?"
Xiao Hei's voice fell, and the camera turned to reveal Prince Ning who was picking out his ears: "What did you just say? I didn't hear clearly. You want to give me the wild area? Okok, no problem, I will definitely invade, and please protect it."
Your teammates, it is really possible for me to randomly select a lucky person and make him super ghost."
Prince Ning was born with a disdainful expression.
With this expression, when he said these words, anyone could feel the arrogance.
A confused scene emerges.
At this time, Hun i had no expression on his face: "Then choose me. If you don't come on the road, your top laner may have a hard time. I will use this finals to prove who is the number one top laner."
.”
After Hui finished speaking, the camera changed again.
theshy sat on a chair and faced the camera. His originally expressionless face suddenly stopped laughing and burst into laughter.
After laughing, theshy seemed to feel something was wrong. He waved his hand and tried to regain his serious expression, but the recovery failed. Theshy could only smile and said: "Sorry, I want to laugh."
The same Chinese with a weird accent.
This was specifically requested by theshy when recording trash talk.
He can't say much.
But when faced with confusion, simple words are enough.
When the camera switched to Duke, Duke smiled as honestly as a big brother. He looked at the camera and seemed to be saying hello to SKT: "Long time no see, be careful."
It's Wolf's turn to appear.
"We have been paying attention to the player Shine from the ig team since the group stage. As a senior, I think the player Shine is very good, but he is still a bit too young. His fortune-teller is very good, but don't forget, the fortune-teller
Who does the division’s champion skin belong to?”
"In this World Championship, our bot lane duo will educate them well and let them know what it means to be the strongest bot laner in the world."
Wolf and Bang appeared together as the bottom lane duo, but Bang didn't seem to intend to say anything during this trash talk session, and it was Wolf who did the talking all the time.
And when Wolf finished speaking, Bao Lan and Li Luo also appeared together.
Baolan, who didn't talk much, also spoke this time.
I just heard him say quietly: "What gives you so much confidence? It is recommended that you keep your eyes open when playing games, otherwise I will find an opportunity to hit you if you are not careful."
After Bao Lan left the country, Li Luo appeared as the finale.
Under the sun, Li Luo was walking up the stone steps step by step.
He looked up and saw that the end point above was very close at hand.
Li Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued climbing up.
When he came to the last step, he suddenly looked back.
The voice also sounded: "The championship skin of Fortune Teller belongs to Bang, but after today's game is over, no one will remember Bang's Fortune Teller."
After saying that, Li Luo raised his feet and stepped onto the last step.
The next moment, the camera suddenly rose up. Under the overlooking camera, a total of twelve people from both teams appeared one after another. Everyone looked up at the sky, and the clouds in the sky gradually gathered into the shape of the championship trophy.
Finally, it ends with Riot Games’ logo.
The trash talk session comes to an end.
The audience at the scene could not recover for a long time.
The game has not yet started, but the smell of gunpowder on both sides is already strong.
At this moment, the audience, whether on site or before the live broadcast, is becoming more and more eager for the game to start.
The camera turned and came to the competition judging panel.
There are three people in charge of judging the competition today.
Su Xiaoyan, Hallucination, Guan Zeyuan.
The three people are responsible for evaluating the situation before and after each game.
"Hello, viewers, my name is Zeyuan."
"I'm hallucinogenic."
"Hello everyone, I am Su Xiaoyan."
Guan Zeyuan looked like he hadn't slept well.
But facing the camera, Guan Zeyuan still smiled: "Today's game is interesting. It has been three years since lpl and lk collided again in the finals, and the strength of these two teams should be almost the same."
"It's almost the same. Who is the difference and where is the difference? This is a question."
Su Xiaoyan smiled narrowly and opened her mouth to challenge Guan Zeyuan.
Recently, screenshots of Guan Zeyuan are still being circulated wildly in the industry.
Guan Zeyuan was still in pain at first, but over time, he is now used to it.
What is the saying?
A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
He did not respond directly to the question, but changed the topic: "Faker recently said something like this in an interview, because every wave 5 game they played for a long time, they would feel very hungry after the game.
So today they hope to end the game 3-0, how should I put it... Anyway, I think the score of 3-0 is unlikely."
Guan Zeyuan was very confident when he said this.
On the one hand, he has a very high opinion of SKT's strength, but correspondingly, he is also very confident in ig's strength.
Anyway, he downplayed the question of who won and who lost, and only mentioned the score.
3 to 0?
This is absolutely impossible.
"In any case, both teams have fought fiercely through the quarter-finals and semi-finals. They have quite a lot of experience in fighting. Next, it depends on the tactical reserves of the coaches of both sides and the players' abilities.
It was improvised, let us return the screen to the commentary box!"
As the hallucinogenic sound fell, the camera turned.
The Doll Miller pdd trio appeared in the commentary box again and greeted the audience one by one.
"I'm honored to be able to commentate on the finals between IG and SKT. I just don't know if my blood pressure will spike this time."
Wawa said with a smile. After saying this, he looked a little emotional: "This is really the closest we are to the finals championship trophy. I really hope to witness history."
The baby didn't say it fully.
There are two meanings in his words.
On the one hand, he hopes that ig can win the championship and win the first s series championship trophy for lpl.
On the other hand...if ig really loses this game in the end, seeing Faker win three consecutive championships can be regarded as witnessing history, although he doesn't really want to witness this history.
"The last time I was fucked directly, my heart rate reached almost 150. When I got off the field, I saw the ups and downs of the heart rate chart and I was dumbfounded."
pdd also sighed sincerely.
Miller was about to say something when he suddenly got a prompt from the director.
His eyes narrowed slightly: "We got the news here. The results of the two sides' throwing points are out. SKT has obtained the priority to choose sides. They are on the blue side."
As soon as these words came out, Wawa and PDD also frowned slightly.
The thrilling collision between the ig and ssg teams is still vivid in my mind.
The advantage of a team that can get the right to choose a side at 135 is self-evident.
"Anyway, let's see how ig will respond on the red side! The BP of both sides has already begun! skt on the blue side, ig on the red side!"
As the doll's voice fell, the music started and the curtain opened.
The blue party's SKT immediately banned the fortune teller on the first floor.
The scene was filled with boos.
There were also a lot of question marks floating on the barrage.
"The owner of the classic Fortune Teller champion skin will ban Fortune Teller."
"Are all Koreans so stubborn? I don't think Rookie and Theshy are like that either. The way to prove that they are the best in the world is to ban them and prevent their opponents from taking them?"
"What do you know? Bang is afraid that he will use the fortune teller to be too strong and directly penetrate Brother Luo. This is giving face to the younger generation (dog head)."
…
While the barrage was scrolling, the ig team directly killed Jace in the first ban.
Although Hun-i likes to play cup games, he can still understand how to play a warrior-type hero like Jace.
The skt team then pressed down the policewoman.
As soon as this ban position came out, mafa on the ig battle table raised his eyebrows.
The second ban position is often critical.
Because this ban is enough to determine what heroes skt plans to grab on the first floor.
It was the ig team's turn to ban, and the second ban of the ig team banned Luo.
skt followed up by pressing down Galio on the third ban.
This is also a decision skt made after careful consideration.
If they want to fight around the bottom lane, it is necessary to grab the auxiliary heroes first.
There is still Feng Nu present in the venue.
The ig team's third-hand ban position can only be given to Kalista.
skt wanted to grab the Feng Nu on the first floor, but they didn’t want ig to get Galio, so they decided to ban them themselves.
After igban dropped Kalista, skt picked the girl in seconds on the first floor.
And ig’s hero selection is also very fast.
With Galio gone, the system will naturally have to change.
The prince on the first floor and the clockwork on the second floor can be selected directly.
"IG is going to build the system of the Clockwork Prince. If this is the case... skt directly picked Xia Xia on the second floor! At the same time, their third floor locked a wine barrel! This wine barrel can be held well, like a clockwork
The prince's system relies more on formations, but he is actually more wary of the hero Wine Barrel. SKT chose Wine Barrel over Pig Girl, so it seems that they want to be more proactive in the early and mid-term."
pdd analyzes the situation on the field.
Miller followed up and said: "The ig team has locked up the Gem Knight on the third floor in order to further strengthen the rigidity of the lineup. But in this case, I feel that Brother Luo will not be able to choose a small cannon. The second round will definitely be
It will be pressed down."
As Miller expected, when the two teams entered the second round of BP, the blue side's skt team directly killed the small cannon, and then killed theshy Camille.
Although theshy's style of play is more focused on soloing than supporting, he and Rookie will always show a wave of linkage inadvertently.
kka obviously found this linkage very troublesome, so he just clicked it off.
As for the ig team, they simply banned Faker's Syndra and Enchantress.
"The banning session on both sides is completely over. Next, we have to see what hero Luo chooses to use to defeat Xayah... None of the remaining versions of heroes outside the game feel particularly good against Xayah... Varus may be good.
?”
pdd touched his chin and said thoughtfully.
On the ig battle table.
"Brother Luo, what style do you think their Xia is going to follow? Is it the poke style of a scholar or a normal style?"
After hearing what Prince Ning said, Li Luo looked at Xia, who had finalized the SKT building, with a little teasing in his eyes.
"No matter what genre it is from, it doesn't matter."
The next second, the hero's portrait on the fourth floor of ig lit up.
There is such an ad hero, no matter who its user is, as long as it appears on the competition stage, it will attract the cheers of a large number of players.
That hero is called...
"Let us hunt those who fall into the darkness together."
night Hunter.
Wayne.
When they saw this hero, the whole audience burst into excitement.
Many viewers first thought that ig should just make a debut and not be finalized immediately.
But the next second, Vayne, the hero, was already locked in.
"Vayne?! Brother Luo chose Vayne?!"
Miller couldn't help but exclaimed.
But at SKT's battle table, Bang's expression was a little tense when he saw this hero.
He remembered the game he lost in the semifinals.
At that time, Uzi also chose Vayne and successfully developed it.
Although he didn't know what Li Luo's Vayne proficiency was, when this hero appeared opposite him, he felt as if there were ten thousand ants crawling all over his body.
Vayne's laning ability is notoriously weak.
But this hero can rely on proficiency to reverse the disadvantage in the line.
What's more... it's not difficult for Vayne to defeat Xia.
Xayah's hero attributes are more defensive than offensive when not paired with Rakan.
Vayne, who knows how to play, is very flexible. It is difficult to be hit by Xayah's Q skill during the laning phase. She can also take advantage of Xayah's forward stiffness when releasing her Q skill to initiate a wave of offensive.
And Xayah only has a range of 525.
But Vayne, an AD that is extremely weak in the eyes of countless players, has a range of 550.
What ad is Xia afraid of?
First, it is hand-length.
Second, it is flexible.
Xayah's main damage relies on his E skill Barb.
But when encountering a flexible hero like Vayne, there is a possibility that the barb can be avoided. Once the barb is avoided, there will be no suspense in the duel between the two.
Bang really didn't expect that Li Luo still had this skill hidden.
And it was unveiled in the first game of the World Championship Finals!
"Oh my god, will Brother Luo still play Vayne?"
pdd is a little confused.
However, he immediately felt that what he said seemed to be nonsense.
In fact, most players who like the AD position would find it difficult to reject Vayne as a hero.
Gorgeous operation.
The upper limit is extremely high.
It can even be said to be endless.
The ad that is easiest to create miracles is Vayne.
Apart from being weaker in the laning and having poor troop clearing ability, Vayne has almost no other weaknesses.
But many players really can't play this hero.
Many players in other lanes have already put on the Mask of Pain when they see their bottom lane picking Vayne.
Because these players know that this Vayne is either very powerful or very good.
It's somewhat similar to Yasuo.
Almost every professional AD player plays Vayne.
The difference is that 90% of professional players dare not bring Vayne onto the competition stage.
Li Luo, dare.
Moreover, his Vayne's first battle was on the stage of the finals of the World Finals.
"Wayne..."
There was also a moment of astonishment on kka's expression.
He looked at faker.
Faker pondered for two seconds and said: "Ryze, team battles can limit his operating space."
"Then Ryze."
kka nodded.
Vayne is an extremely special hero on the field.
He seems to be able to adapt to any system.
But to say how consistent it is with these systems, it doesn’t really matter.
Now kka finally understood why the ig team gave up on Lulu and chose a gem that looked a bit bulky.
They seemed to start planning it from the ban position, allowing them to get Xayah.
Then use Vayne to fight.
As long as Vaien is fully developed and has the invincible protection of the gem ultimate in team battles, so that Vaien will not be instantly defeated, Vaien will have too much room for maneuver.
Their current forced team opening only has one wine barrel.
Ryze's choice gave them an extra layer of protection against Vayne.
But... it's still not enough.
kka looked at Hui: "Naru."
"No problem, I am King Nar."
His confused expression was full of confidence.
His Gnar performed a move in the lk final that shocked all the spectators.
Today's World Championship is no exception.
Gnar's long hands have led to him being dubbed the top laner Vayne.
The matchup is not afraid of most heroes.
And in SKT's system, they are not afraid of ig team choosing Gnar.
Because Hun-i also has an artifact hero who can beat Gnar like a father beating his son.
Yasuo.
No other team dared to play.
But he dares.
He even dared to take out Lucian as top laner in lk.
Hun i is such a unique player.
However, in the next second, the smile on Hun Yi's face slowly stiffened.
He saw... the hero displayed on the fifth floor of the ig team.
The previous Vayne was enough to cause a tsunami of cheers at the scene.
But compared to this hero, Vayne... seems to be less interesting.
"Death is like the wind, always with me."
When they saw this hero, the three people in the commentary box looked at each other.
Just now, pdd was still discussing Hun-i's hero pool, and directly said that Hun-i has the natural advantage of playing Yasuo against Gnar.
But the next moment, ig picked Yasuo.
"theshy...also knows Yasuo?!"
The doll's Adam's apple rolled.
There are not many orphan heroes in League of Legends.
ig is the only one in this category.
But Yasuo... is really good against Gnar in the lane!
With the help of the movement of the troops, the wind wall is used to block Gnar's boomerang, forcing Gnar to not be able to use the normal attack to connect the boomerang immediately to create the third ring.
As long as Gnar can't hit the three-ring acceleration immediately, he will face a Yasuo who is likely to have accumulated a whirlwind.
When Gnar is in a small state, there is no advantage in exchanging blows with the melee hero Yasuo.
Let’s take a look at ig’s lineup again…
Gnar can be carried alone.
You can also join a group tour.
They have a prince.
Although the lineup chosen by skt has wine barrels that can destroy the formation, neither player can move, and neither does the supporting Feng Nu.
Facing King Ning's veteran prince, if too many people are attacked in a team battle, the consequences will be disastrous!
kka put down his brown notebook.
He knew that ig came prepared for this final.
This feeling made him a little weak, and he always felt that SSG did not force out all the stuff that IG had packed in the box.
Is this... the bottom line-up of the ig team?
K.
But the question is, do they have any other bottom lineup?
kka is not sure.
But he knows his team well.
He knew that these five young men were not the strongest skt.
There are huge problems among them. Although I have said it more than once, there is still a little bit of friction between the few of them.
The most important thing is that the team is not stable enough!
This makes kka still feel unsure even if it gains an advantage in BP.
"In this game, you must suppress the bottom lane in the early stage. Xianghe, you should do the same. Try to gain the lane advantage of both lanes."
kka gave his final instructions before the game.
Originally, they had a chance to take advantage of the third line.
But now, one of these three lines is definitely at a disadvantage.
The other two lines...it's hard to say which one is better, because it depends on the opponent's performance.
How is Vayne playing?
Can faker have a strong effect when matched up with rookie?
These are all difficult questions.
After all, the two teams have never played against each other in previous competitions.
In contrast, on the ig team, coach Mafa calmly walked down the stage and shook hands with kka.
For some reason, when kka, a coach who led his team to three world championships, faced the coach in front of him who had no very good results... he actually felt pressure!
In the commentary box.
"In that case, the lineups of both sides have been finalized!"
"The blue side skt team has top laner Gnar, jungle jungler Barrel, mid laner Ryze, and the bottom lane duo is Kasumi paired with Feng Nu!"
"The red side ig team, Yasuo in the top lane, Jungle Prince, Clockwork Demon in the mid lane, and the bottom lane duo is Vayne with gems!"
"The players on both sides are ready, let's enter the first game of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals together!!"
－－－－－－Digression－－－－－
It’s coming, it’s coming! Try to explode tomorrow and finish the first one!
