In the Zenith Arena in Paris, with the melody of background music, the DJ shouted in an excited voice:
"ladies and gentlemen!"
"Let's welcome the semi-final teams, starting with LgZong!"
The way to enter the semi-finals of the Zenith Stadium is different from the previous M private appearances. Players enter from the front channel and pass through a long auditorium.
When the players pass by below, the spectators on both sides of the high platform will usually extend their palms towards their favorite players for a friendly pre-match high-five.
This is similar to the way sports stars appear on stage, and the audience motivates players to perform well in this way.
KZ and his team passed through the auditorium and were welcomed by many European audiences.
After FNC was eliminated, the European home audience no longer had to worry. They calmed down and just came to watch the fun and enjoy the game.
After the KZ players stepped on the stage, they stood on the left in order according to the previously rehearsed order.
The DJ’s voice rose a few degrees and he shouted again:
“Next, let’s welcome Snake from the LPL region~!!”
…
"OH!"
"OH!"
…
This time, tens of thousands of spectators cheered enthusiastically!
In Paris, Snake has gathered huge popularity. Many viewers come here just for the Snake team. E-sports fans around the world want to see this legendary team!
At the contestant tunnel, Li Hao took the lead and walked directly in front of the team.
He raised his hands and high-fived fans along the way.
The railings on both sides of the passage were densely packed with people lying on their stomachs. Some fans reached out from far away, and they kept hearing someone shouting "The King" loudly.
Li Hao's popularity here is definitely higher than the entire previous KZ team.
In the domestic game commentary live broadcast room, the backlash fighter Sister Zhou and the bald commentator Hao Kai were sitting together. Hao Kai also played professionally before, and worked as a coach for a year, and then changed his job to be a commentator, but he has always been a small player.
Transparent and not famous.
During the group stage two days ago, the match between Li Hao's Juggernaut and Caps Yasuo gained him a lot of traffic, because he was so excited when explaining that he felt like he was about to die, and he urgently needed an oxygen bottle to save his life, so
Known as Oxygen Cylinder Commentary.
In addition to these two official commentators, there is also a guest sitting on Sister Zhou's right, who is EDG's coach Abramovich.
Looking at the pictures coming back from the scene ahead, Shuyi said happily:
"Brother Hao is so popular in Paris! It feels like a big star is coming on stage."
Oxygen Bottle boasted: "That is necessary. Caps already has a high voice in the European Division, but it was repeatedly won by Brother Hao. Only Brother Hao can do it in the entire M Private Club. This makes the European audience understand the gap between them."
.”
Abu smiled, "The main reason is that The King has too many honors and is too tough."
"Now when it comes to honors, even Faker is far behind him!" The nake players stepped onto the stage and received cheers from the audience.
In the match commentary live broadcast room, Sister Zhou ignored the occasion and asked Abramovich directly: "Coach Abu, Brother Hao was in the EDG team at the time. How did you think of sending him to RNG?"
When Abu heard this, he immediately cursed in his heart.
My heart says don’t mess with me!
Regarding this issue, Guodian fans have been complaining for several years. They just stopped for a while, and if you bring it up again now, wouldn't it be like putting it on the torture rack?
The director of the EDG base who was watching the live broadcast laughed strangely.
Fortunately, I researched the event commentary live broadcast room and decided not to go, otherwise I would be the one embarrassed.
Abu leaned back tactically, and then said: "Actually, we regret it because we didn't discover The King's talent in time."
"If I could turn back time now, I would kill him and not trade him."
"The factory director still often talks about it now. It feels like The King was playing us. Because he was so strong, he just silently trained in the club and didn't take the initiative to mention it to us. In fact, we are very easy to talk to. If we have the ability, we will basically not hide it."
Sister Zhou continued to backstab: "It's hard to have a brilliant performance when playing with a big tree."
"Ahem, the BP has started, let's watch the game together."
It’s okay if you don’t like A!
Which pot was not opened and which pot was raised? Abu's forehead was sweating and he quickly changed the subject.
Some viewers watching the live broadcast were extremely happy:
[Hahaha, Sister Zhou’s white knife goes in and the red knife comes out, killing like crazy! 】
[Sister Zhou, don’t talk, hold on for a while, it will be fine soon~]
[If God didn’t give birth to Brother Wolfberry, eSports would be like a long night~]
[Abu: Mute bride, can you shut up!]
[Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu I'm a pig fan, and I've already cried miserably. If Brother Wolfberry had been moved to the middle back then, and formed a pig-raising and killing combination with the peak factory director, what a beautiful scene it would have been!!]
[RNG: Don’t @ me. If you ask, blame the water dispenser for not living up to expectations. If you ask, blame Xiaohu for not liking instant noodles! 】
…
Because it was only the semi-finals, the opening ceremony was relatively simple, and the teams were only briefly introduced without wasting too much time.
If it were the M private finals, the opening ceremony would be even more grand! Players nake and KZ have already entered the player seats for final equipment debugging.
"Hello, viewers!"
"I am Guan Zeyuan, I am Changmao, and I am Rita!"
"Welcome to the 2018 League of Legends M private semi-finals! We are live in front of the Zenith Arena in Paris, with more than 40,000 spectators here today!"
Colonel Guan introduced in an excited voice: "There were not so many spectators before, but I heard that the live tickets were sold too hotly. I discussed with the venue and opened several more stands. Our studio is in the center of LCS
The southwest side of the studio, I just took a look outside, and it was really a complete mess, filled with people!"
Rita's face turned red and her expression was excited: "Especially when Snake came in and the DJ played just now, it was really deafening. It felt like I was wearing headphones and it was useless."
"Haha, not only the audience at the scene are excited, but I am also sitting here looking forward to this round of semi-finals."
Changmao put his hands on the commentary table and analyzed: "Snake dares to face KZ directly, there must be their reasons. Everyone has been speculating for several days, and today is the time to decipher it."
Colonel Guan showed a cautious look:
"Compared to the past few days, KZ's state in the second half has improved significantly. According to their strength in the spring split, KZ, as the leader of the three K teams, is still very strong."
"Snake still needs to be vigilant to prevent KZ from counterattacking."
Both Rita and Changmao smiled, knowing that the senior colonel was buffing their methods again.
On the big screen, a funny picture suddenly appeared.
This is the ‘Bet’ program recorded in advance at the LCS studio.
Big Mouth Charlie fulfilled his bet on the day of the Snake game. Li Hao also appeared in this recorded program. Charles and Li Hao led the horse to the studio together. Charlie kissed the horse's butt affectionately, and then there was a lot of laughter in the studio.
Laughter.
At this time, Coster and others sitting in the main studio of LCS were also enjoying the program.
Charlie felt the fiery atmosphere at the scene, and he didn't feel embarrassed at all.
Coster quipped:
"Do you still want to bet with me today? I can let you enjoy Charles's ass, oh, his horse's ass."
Charlie is fearless:
"Of course, but I want to be on The King's side."
Coster and Charles both laughed, this iron-headed kid had been conquered by The King.
Looking at their looks, Charlie added: "I still love Caps, but I admit that the strongest one is The King. He is the king of this era, and Caps belongs to the next era. He needs to wait for The King to end, and then from there
He took the king's scepter in his hand."
"Looking at it now, Caps will have to wait for a while. I feel that the S8 season is still dominated by The King, and no one can stop his dynasty!"
Charlie's transformation was very fast, from hat blowing to Hao blowing, and Coster felt that his job was not guaranteed.
In the player's seat, Bdd's equipment has been debugged, and the personal coach came behind him and asked softly in his ear:
"how do you feel today?"
Bdd was chewing gum in his mouth, his fat body trembling slightly. After a few days of rest and continuous indoctrination by the uniform staff, he seemed to have eliminated his inner demons.
Bdd looked relaxed and seemed to be enjoying the scene:
"Don't worry, I will show my full strength today, I don't care whether I face The King or who else!"
"I want to win back everything I lost before!"
When Brother Khan heard what Bdd said, he immediately became happy and beat his chest passionately:
"That's right Pucheng, that's it!"
"There's nothing scary about that guy!"
The director's camera panned across the KZ players' bench and saw the passionate scene of Khan slapping his chest with his hand. On the other side, Lin Weixiang seemed to be doing the same action, which surprised the three commentators in the commentary box.
“So passionate!”
"It can be seen that the players from both teams are full of fighting spirit!"
At the referee's instruction, the BP music officially started, and the battle between Snake and KZ began! Nake was lucky and won the priority to choose sides in the first game by tossing a coin.
"KZ's tactics at the beginning have changed. They banned Fan Mom in the first move. Snake has always played a fast-paced style. They don't want to release this hero."
"Snake has removed the male gun on the first floor. This hero is now mainly used to target trolls. Casa has also played trolls before, and the effect was good."
KZ took out Zuo Yin with his second move and was still targeting the middle.
"The red team took out Ryze in the second move, which was targeting Bdd's hero pool. In this way, Kasa and Roko are still outside, and Snake seems to want to force KZ to take it on his own!"
"Eh!"
"KZ was indifferent, but they got rid of Morgana!"
While the commentators were talking, Snake moved very quickly and directly knocked off the mantis with his third hand. He was obviously well prepared.
"Then Kai'Sa and Luo, who have higher priorities, are both outside now. The two parties should have formed a tacit understanding. You take one and I take the other."
Changmao continued what Rita said: "Then KZ is more uncomfortable now. No matter which hero he chooses, Snake can backhand another one on the red side and add a troll, because the male gun has been removed. At this time
It wouldn’t be appropriate to use Olaf to fight trolls again.”
"Looking at it now, Snake has really made full preparations for BP. This time, the KZ jungler did not change. It is still a little peanut. Olaf is his strongest jungler in the entire spring split. It feels like this
The third-hand board is down, and Snake has already calculated it."
"KZ picked Luo with the first hand!"
However, Snake did not choose as the commentator expected.
On the player bench, Chris constantly communicated with the players and locked in on Yin Zeruil on the first floor!
EZ's system in version 8.8 is also very powerful, and compared to Kai'Sa, the formation period will be faster. On the second floor, after EZ was locked, Irelia was selected!
"Wow!"
Colonel Guan exclaimed: "Sister Sword!"
"The girl took out this knife directly, and she can hit or miss."
"I feel like Snake is going to fight you head-on in Wave 5! He doesn't think about how to fight with you at all in the later stage. He will have to fight you in the early stage!"
As soon as they saw Snake's selection, Kingzone was obviously hesitant.
In the last 7 seconds of the selection, they selected Kai'Sa on the second floor.
"KZ is still a little worried. This was obviously deliberately released by Snake, so there is a question mark whether their Kai'Sa system can be effective. However, the Rat King is still very confident and directly asks his teammates to help lock it. Kai'Sa is in Pray
He also has a winning rate of close to 70%!"
"Although the Troll is outside now, according to Snake's attitude, he obviously wants to use a full output lineup. Even if the Troll's ultimate move is selected, no one may be able to absorb it, and the price-performance ratio will not be high."
The big school's analysis was good. Coach N was considering this issue, and finally KZ selected Crystal Pioneer on the third floor.
"Law and Scala's stable teamfighting, coupled with Kai'Sa, can produce very sufficient output. KZ's system has initially taken shape."
"Snake picked Olaf on the third floor and continued to speed up the pace!"
"Red side, defeated the Desert Emperor on the fourth floor."
"KZ knocked off the bull's head without any surprise."
"Snake's last move was to ban Ornn. Indeed, Ornn's combination with Rakan and Kai'Sa is so powerful. If there is a super long-distance team fight, it may be difficult to react."
"KZ banned Niutou in the fourth move, so Tahm Kench should be removed as well. Both of these are heroes that can set the pace for Snake's lineup."
On the big screen, KZ did not ban Tahm in the last move, but sent the captain to the ban position.
This is also a hero who can sway in the mid-to-upper range, and KZ is very afraid of Li Hao’s previous captain’s performance. He can lock Tahm Kench in seconds on the fourth floor!
On the fourth floor of KZ, Rock Bird was selected.
Then, they fell into thinking again.
I don’t know what hero the top laner should pick for Khan, because Dao Mei’s position is really in the lake.
Gloria was on the 5th floor and showed Pantheon.
This hand is very suitable for playing Dao girl online. There was also a roar from the scene. The fans kept shouting "Pantheon", hoping that KZ would pick Pantheon to make the game more exciting.
But the personal coach in the player's box remained awake. He not only shook his head, but also patted Grella's shoulder to signal him not to joke.
Changmao said: "KZ now has the safest option, which is to win Sion. Sion can defeat anyone, and can continue to provide output space for Pray, and carry out Kai'Sa's system to the end, which happens to be the mid laner Bdd
The rock bird is also a rhythmic hero."
However, KZ’s top laner is Khan after all!
Moreover, this is the first game of Wave 5, and the top lane scene in the 8.8 version is also very important. KZ does not want to lose its momentum.
After a while of deliberation, in the last 5 seconds of selection, Qinggang Ying was confirmed on the fifth floor of KZ!
When the colonel saw the KZ lineup, he immediately said:
"So strong, you still have to attack, not meat!"
"KZ's lineup only has one fake player, Scorpion."
Rita: "Jax!"
"Brother Holy Spear's Jax, then Sister Sword is going to hit it."
"The purpose of this road trip is very clear. I want to play laning with you! You are very strong, but my gun brother, a two-time world champion, has no reason to be afraid of you!"
Changmao nodded: "The battle between Jax and Qinggang Shadow in the top lane still depends on the player's operation. Qinggang Shadow can use his ultimate move to dodge Jax's last move of counterattack storm, and Jax can also use counterattack storm.
Block Qinggang Ying's second stage of Q. If it's a bit more extreme, you can also use the Q eye to dodge the hook lock. The specific details will depend on the details of both parties."
The colonel continued what Changmao said:
"You can definitely look forward to TheKing's sword girl in the middle. This hero combined with Olaf's combat effectiveness in the mid-term is quite powerful!"
Analysis continued in the studio, and the lineups of both sides were officially locked.
