At around four o'clock in the afternoon, the lights around the Jinling Olympic Sports Center were turned off, and in the darkness, light shone on the central stage.
With the dark style of Baron Nash and the ancient dragon roaring on the screen, after a short promotional video, a countdown appeared on the big screen.
It was hard to get a ticket at the Olympic Sports Center today, and all seats were packed.
Waves of cheers sounded along with the countdown. After the countdown ended, dozens of lights directly above the stage began to rotate and shine, and host Ren Dong's voice also sounded:
"Welcome to the 2017 League of Legends Professional League, Spring Finals~!"
After this sound, two huge crystals appeared directly above the stage.
Surrounding this crystal, two completely different energies, blue and red, appeared on the ground.
They conflict with each other but do not intersect, which represents the two teams WE and Snake.
"Blue side, welcome Team WE!"
The scene was filled with cheers from 60E fans, and there were also a lot of WE fans present...
Leaning on another huge red crystal, Ren Dong shouted passionately:
"Red side, welcome the 2016 League of Legends Global Finals Champion, Snake!"
This time, the cheers at the scene were louder, and the Snakes fans shouted excitedly!
The ground of the stage began to change, and a clear map of Summoner's Rift appeared.
Every time Ren Dong calls a player's name, the player will stand in the designated position.
After introducing the top laner and jungler, Xiye took up the mid lane position amidst the cheers of WE fans.
Then, Ren Dong's voice seemed to rise an octave, and he shouted:
"Now, welcome to the mid laner of Snake team, S6 finals Fmvp, The King!!!"
With a long ending, Ren Dong almost used up all his strength to shout!
His voice passed through the microphone and roared throughout the venue!
Nothing wrong, just treat them differently!
but
In the field of e-sports, this is also fair!
This is the respect and honor that the peak king should enjoy after wearing the crown!!
Jinling Olympic Sports Center is in endless boiling!
This was the most exaggerated event. Tens of thousands of people made loud noises and cheers, and the entire venue seemed to be shaking.
Many people were shaking the cheering objects in their hands crazily. When the director gave a close-up of the calm man, the ladies almost cried.
As if sensing the surrounding atmosphere, the man waved to the audience, which once again triggered huge cheers.
Everyone can feel the terrifying popularity.
In the audience, Hao's father and Hao's mother were really shocked.
The person under that lens is indeed his son.
But this was the first time the two of them experienced Li Hao's terrifying enthusiasm.
In addition to shock and surprise, it is still shocking.
Is this kid so awesome?
Dad Hao muttered in a low voice: "I'm unfilial. I'm sorry for the inheritance of my ancestors. This craft will not be passed down after all."
"Bah, you are far worse than my son."
"Kill a few pigs and you'll be fine~"
…
The game hasn't started yet, but this man who stands at the top of S6 has already become the protagonist!
Brother-in-law, Brother Crystal, Ben, Liu Qingsong
After Ren Dong introduced all the players, players from both sides entered the players' seats one after another.
…
The screen shows the commentator's seat. Today, in addition to Miller, Wawa, and Wang Duoduo, there is also a special guest. He is the old WE's Wang Xiaoxiao.
After all, Smile is a WE legend, and today's game is also about whether WE can get the coveted trophy.
Another point is that Xiao Xiao is also an old teammate of The King, so there are really a lot of topics to talk about.
LPL officials actually want to hire a famous Snake player, but Snake can only be regarded as a rich man now, and his ancestors are definitely not as wealthy as WE.
The glory of WE can be traced back to IPL5 in 2012. The era when League of Legends first became popular, that was the first world championship won by a Chinese team in the League of Legends e-sports project.
Strawberry, Nuoyan, Ruofeng, Smile, and Curly Hair were once the idols of many League of Legends players.
…
As for Snake celebrities, there will definitely be some in the future, but right now there are really no celebrities.
If I have to say it, Tank is considered a celebrity.
He liberated The King with a bowl of beef noodles, changed the structure of the entire league, and opened up a path that Snake had never thought of. He also did things that RNG, WE, EDG, and OMG teams had never done.
It can be said that this is of epoch-making significance in the history of league e-sports.
However, Tank traveled east to South Korea and has been gone for more than half a year without any news. The only thing left in the world is the legend of him and a bowl of beef noodles.
In the commentary box, Miller smiled and said:
"The atmosphere at the scene is quite warm. The Olympic Sports Center is completely full today. According to the data behind the scenes, all subsequent additional tickets have been sold, which shows the fans' expectations for this game."
"WE has risen strongly this spring. This is their ultimate challenge to Snake, the S6 king. Judging from the state of the two teams during this period, it will be a close contest!"
Wawa smiled and brought up a topic: "The King, the current absolute core of the Snakes team, has a close relationship with WE. We all know that The King came from WE in the beginning, and Xiaoxiao is also The King's teammate. I don't know about this situation, the king has
What do you want to say, haha."
The commentators and guests were all wearing white custom-made clothes. They listened to the doll's words with a smile and recalled with a look on their face:
"To be honest, this moment really makes me feel dreamy."
"Perhaps many people don't know that The King was definitely very famous among us when he was a rookie in WE. I remember that during a training match, The King used Crocodile to kill PDD's prince twice. At that time, PDD didn't have reverse direction.
Hey, I haven’t retired, I’m still on the road to be the emperor.”
"Performances like this have appeared many times in WE, and the talent is visible to the naked eye. Whether it is me, Ruofeng or the factory director, we all agreed with the management's words at that time, 'The King' is the cornerstone of the dynasty. This is why The King left
The reason why EDG recruited him after WE is that the factory director is probably also thinking about his talent."
"No one said that The King was not talented as a rookie, but his biggest enemies should be his mentality and position."
"At that time, he didn't have enough experience, and he wasn't the big-time player he is now. Moreover, he had always tried the two positions of jungler and top laner, and no one had ever thought of letting him play the mid lane."
"I don't think anyone could have guessed that The King would unleash such terrifying dominance after taking over the middle lane!"
Smile smiled bitterly: "I announced my retirement in the 14th season, when The King was still silent. Three years later, when my former home team competed for a very important championship in team history, I never imagined the obstacles they had to overcome.
, it turned out to be the Snake Legion led by Theking, who purged the entire S6 North American World Championship."
Hearing these words from the king, many old WE fans who have been along the way shed tears.
Woohoo, the cornerstone of our dynasty!
Only today do we know that the ‘cornerstone of the dynasty’ is really the cornerstone of the dynasty.
If there was The King, why would WE be like this?
60Es have mixed feelings.
Wang Duoduo asked a rather tricky question:
"Your Majesty, if we could go back in time and make a choice again with WE, would you suggest that the team place The King in the mid lane?"
Smiling for a moment, he wanted to say that it was necessary for The King to succeed!
However, considering that his nose was watching the game in front of the screen, he laughed and said that it was impossible to turn back time.
In the WE base, Ruofeng, who was watching the game with the staff staying at the base, couldn't help but smile.
Damn it, don’t delete your friends first, then you will be able to talk.
…
Jinling Olympic Sports Center burst into cheers, exciting music has started, and the spring finals have officially begun!
The camera showed the two coaches. On Nake's side, it was Chris, the closed-door coach that everyone is already familiar with.
On WE's side, it's Coach Hongmi.
This person is one of the former three-star champion coaches. His main characteristic is his ability to build lineups. He was originally the first one captured by the IG team, but was then let go by Su Sheng. When he came to WE, he took Xiye and the others away.
In fact, Redmi is more suitable for teams like WE, just like Samsung back then.
Coach Jin, who went to IG, is good at cultivating big C teams with an absolute core, such as Dean Ji who is currently in charge of IG.
In the first game, WE had the priority to choose the side, and they chose the blue side.
On the blue side, WE took down Victor first.
As soon as this ban came out, the response from the audience was very enthusiastic.
Wolfberry fan Wang Duoduo said excitedly: "This is basically the default ban position. It is difficult for you to release TheKing's Victor. This hero's output in the mid- to late-game is inherently terrifying, and TheKing is known as a cold 'output machine'! We have all seen it before
Yeah, every time The King gets Victor, the damage is really explosive!"
He smiled and said: "Yes, if Victor is released, Snake will probably grab it immediately. Coach Hongmi is still very cautious."
"Snake on the red side defeated the poodle first. Rengar, like the current blind monk, is a jungler with very strong rhythmic ability."
"Oh! WE defeated Kennen with the second move! Kennen is very tricky with this move. Recently, both 957 and Holy Spear have used this hero."
Miller kept saying: "I predicted this game. WE's top laner is likely to take Kled. The Holy Spear brother will use Kenan to counter him in his backhand. Redmi will take away Kennen, 957 Kled.
The possibility of appearing is very high.”
"957's Kled was the hero that allowed WE to break out of the semi-finals."
"Snake takes down Malzahar, who is now acting as a support, and WE takes down the Blind Sin with the third hand."
"Lee Monk and Poodle, two junglers with strong rhythm, have been eliminated. Snake should consider taking advantage of Spider. Apart from these two heroes, Spider has the best rhythm ability."
"The other T1 jungler is a male gun, but his rhythm ability cannot be compared with the first three."
"Snake took down Lulu with his third hand. Ben's Lulu and Brother-in-Law's Big Mouth had performed brilliantly several times before."
"Sure enough, WE helped Kandi grab the spider first!"
"Unexpectedly, Snake snatched the prince!! This move should be Snake's swing position. It is not yet sure whether he will go on the road or jungle, and the hero who is currently using the prince the most is ADD, the top laner of the South Korean MVP team.
He used Prince to play top lane Titans! Before 957, there were many records of Titan top laners.”
"Yes, Titan cannot be selected in this WE match. Kled and Grain Barrel are possible."
"Snake has locked Thresh on the second floor. Do you want WE to grab Fan Mom? Lulu has already taken it down, and Fan Mom and Nami's priorities have reached the highest level."
However, WE did not select players according to the predictions of the commentators this time.
On the second and third floors, they selected Han Bing and Enchantress.
"Xiye's Enchantress is one of the few in the LPL who is very top-notch, but the level of The King's Enchantress opposite her is also absolutely top-notch!"
"Both sides made a lot of preparations for the first game, and the appearance of the Enchantress and the Prince was quite surprising." nake the third floor, targeting the policewoman.
Because WE did not choose a support, Snake was in the ban position with the last two hands and took down Zyra first.
WE beat down the rock bird.
"Snake's last move was to take Kled away, without giving 957 the chance to take Kled behind."
"WE took down Ryze, and this is the third move to ban the mid laner."
"Snake chooses Rambo to balance the damage output of the lineup."
"WE selected Murloc on the fourth floor, and Braum on the fifth floor. This is a double-ice combination that was very popular some time ago, two heroes from the Freljord."
"Let's see what Snake will choose in the final move. What mid laner should he choose for The King? The rock bird is defeated, Syndra is good, and Ryze can also be used."
The camera showed the Snake player seat, Chris was standing behind Li Hao, and the two were obviously communicating.
On the fifth floor, Liu Qingsong was very naughty and directly showed the head of the sword master, and the audience was so teased that they shouted.
The King's Sword Master is a top SKT player with one sword!
"Haha, no, it can't be the Sword Master."
"However, looking at Snake's posture, I always feel that they are going to use their ultimate move."
"..."
While the commentators were chatting, a majestic-looking white avatar appeared on the fifth floor of Snake.
He was covered in stone, with a crown-like mask on his head, and a mysterious smile on his lips.
"The stone statue spreads its wings!"
"..."
"After the revision, Galio really has a great move!"
"Gario is the mid laner, right?"
"Yes, the mid laner, if he fights the Enchantress, he has no way to defeat her. This hero has a magic shield on his body."
"It's worth looking forward to. It's the first time The King has brought out this hero!"
Wang Duoduo continued what Wawa said: "I have seen many heroes that The King used for the first time, and they are basically killers!"
"Locked!"
"Mid laner Galio!"
…
Under the camera, Chris was standing behind Li Hao at Snake's bench. Before leaving the field, he squeezed Li Hao's shoulders with both hands.
