After the semi-finals, there will be three days of rest.
T1's thrilling defeat to G2 clearly conveyed to the audience their strong fighting spirit for this round of finals during the interview.
The headline on the L forum quickly turned into a solemn declaration from the duke coach.
"In the 2020Mis finals, T1 will give it all!"
Immediately afterwards, Faker shouted in front of the camera.
"Faker, once again meeting The King in the finals, what are your expectations?"
The big devil is not timid at all and speaks forcefully:
"It's time for him to lose once he takes away the victory."
"..."
Perhaps it was the firm eyes of the T1 players, or perhaps the Korean audience's desire for light, that a group of e-sports veterans suddenly appeared on Lck forums including Inven. They recalled the glorious past of LCK and told the glorious history of T1.
The old stick guys once again placed their hopes on T1, expecting a miracle to happen.
The audiences of LCK and LPL are already at two extremes in mood because they have a common understanding.
The dynasty team led by the number one player in e-sports is difficult to defeat.
This is the most powerful legion in the eSports world.
After the game ended on May 18, a large number of spectators rushed to the Magic City, and many fans who could not buy tickets were also ready to check in and join in the fun.
Many commentators, anchors, and media people in various competition areas post updates on their private homepages.
At their feet is the final battlefield of MSI, and the league's advance layout at the Oriental Sports Center was shared in the form of pictures and videos.
This time, the Oriental Sports Center venue will have more than 20,000 spectators with extra seats.
Summoners from all over the world are waiting for an audio-visual feast.
On May 19, an interesting photo appeared in the forum.
The background is the Oriental Sports Center. There are four people in the photo, namely Coster, Smith, Wang Duoduo, and Brother CT.
Haochui, the pinnacle of the four major competition regions, has gathered together, and each one of them is the most neutral and authoritative e-sports commentator in the world.
There are many meetings like this between division commentators, and these four are typical.
Anchors from some platforms also came to the scene in advance to show off the venues to water friends who were far away from home and had no chance to be there, so they could feel the atmosphere of the Oriental Sports Center.
The venue for MSI in 2016 was the same as it is now, but the popularity was incomparable.
There were definitely not so many foreign audiences back then.
It's not because Msi's influence is unprecedentedly high.
The audiences who come here are just to follow the footsteps of the legend.
May 20, the second day of the offseason.
There is a countdown to the finals on the homepage of each major broadcast platform. There is almost no need for publicity, and a large number of viewers come in every day.
The skyrocketing traffic can make the people in charge of the broadcast platform excited for a long time.
It lasted until the third day of off-season, and the influx of traffic became more and more terrifying.
According to fans, everyone can't wait.
On the morning of May 22nd.
#Msifinal#
Several related terms appear on the lists of major search portals.
There are several hot searches in a row, all of which are discussions about Msi.
As one of today's protagonists, Team Snake finished their lunch early at 11 o'clock in the morning and then set off to rush to the scene.
Some fans saw them along the way and greeted them warmly.
The Snake Team will wave and respond.
The on-site staff familiarized them with the entrance ceremony. Although they had rehearsed with T1 the day before, the final was so grand that no one made any mistakes.
During the step-by-step drill, Li Hao stood by the screen with the logo on the outside of the venue passage and immediately saw the T1 team members who had also arrived early to prepare.
a and Cuzz were at the front, while Faker was at the end with Coach Dunma.
No need to say hello, their eyes met head on.
We nodded politely to each other and didn't communicate much.
Either you die or I die today. If you have anything to say, please wait until the fight is over before talking about it.
Uzi held a promotional poster rolled into a barrel shape and came to Li Hao's side with Flandre.
"You are so distracted, Gouzi, are you thinking back to 2016?"
Flandre pointed towards Li Guapi jokingly: "Aside from Brother Hao, you and Faker are also pretty good at each other."
Uzi rolled his eyes: "Just say that I have been eliminated by Faker repeatedly. There is no need to be so subtle."
"But, that's not what I meant."
The little fat man gestured in Li Hao's direction:
"In 2016 MSI, Brother Hao was in this venue."
Li Hao smiled: "Actually, it has nothing to do with me."
"I was on the bench, watching the game with the coaching staff."
"I know that."
"I'm just confused..."
The little fat man looked curious: "Brother Hao, why didn't you take the initiative a little bit?"
"That was four years ago. You would have no problem beating Faker."
Flandre also looked at Li Hao, and the factory director and others also came over.
On the way backstage along the passage, Li Hao said to Uzi:
"If you were the head coach, at a time when the team's survival was at stake, would you be willing to send a veteran who had done little before and was on the verge of retirement to put out the fire?"
"Without the trust of my teammates and coaching staff, winning will be much more difficult than imagined."
"I also hope that the coaching staff will call the name, but I can't hear anything."
"I didn't think much about it at the time, I just let it happen."
Li Hao spoke slowly and in a calm tone. His words were concise and he calmly explained the situation at that time. He did not blame the uniform team of Yujian Sect. There was almost no emotion in his words.
In the eyes of Uzi and others, his expression and attitude were strange, or aloof.
If you think about it from another perspective, if you were as capable as Shi Yizhong, at that moment, I would probably get up from the bench angrily.
but...
Shi Yizhong was too tough in his heart and adhered to his own rules of conduct.
If it weren't for Snake, he would even give up his career and go to Jinling to kill pigs.
Uzi was speechless, unable to understand in his heart.
But in his opinion, Li Hao's achievements today are also due to his own beliefs.
In the past six months, they have heard a lot from the Snakes about Li Hao's work at the club, such as his conscientious and diligent attitude.
Li Hao, who has so many honors, has always been a model worker for the Snake team, a hard-working little bee who will never rest on his laurels. He used his attitude to influence Snake and slowly transformed into a dynasty team.
I'm afraid, this is also the reason why newcomers become stronger as soon as they join the Snake Team.
This is a good place for e-sports professionals.
Do EDG, RNG, and JDG have such team spirit and such good big brothers?
Uzi, factory director Lu Mao and others all have very clear answers.
Jarhead looked at Li Hao and regretted:
"I was also blind back then."
"You are not blind."
Flandre consoled her: "Because you are not the children of destiny. If you want to get married with Brother Hao in advance, you need a lot of luck. There is absolutely no one like this."
He patted his chest proudly: "And I am the child of destiny."
"On the first day Brother Hao came to Snake Team, I helped him carry his suitcase upstairs."
"When I saw the sexy fan, there was a black cloud above this person's head, and I could see through it at a glance."
"And when I saw Brother Hao, I just felt the golden light hitting my face, and the glow..."
"Okay, okay."
"You bitch, stop bragging!"
"There are so many gun trophies, give me one."
"dream!"
"..."
They were noisy and walked all the way backstage.
Li Hao did not argue with them, but followed the footsteps and looked towards the direction of the contestants' tunnel behind him.
The big devil seems to have sensed it, looking at it from a distance.
Even though they are far apart, each other can sense each other's fighting spirit.
Because they know very well...
There is a certain probability that this MSI final will be the final battle between the two sides.
Neither Li Hao nor Faker nor S1 communicated again.
They prepared for the battle until about 2:30 in the afternoon.
During this period, both teams showed the most professional attitude, and everyone worked hard to get into the game.
The Oriental Sports Center was almost full at two o'clock.
Standing on the stage and looking towards the audience, I saw an overwhelming crowd of people.
The noise came from everywhere, and many spectators took pictures with their mobile phones to record the scene and share it with their friends.
Under the strong e-sports atmosphere, foreign fans and local LPL fans also chatted together.
Many people never thought that their plastic English would come in handy one day.
Another on-site photo was taken inside the Louvre Museum.
When I zoomed in on the camera, everyone became interested.
Isn't this a show girl?
Brother Rongguang actually came to the competition site with him.
Xu Xiu is a fan of Li Hao. Many people know that this time DWG failed to enter the competition area. I didn't expect Brother Rongguang to come to the Magic City to learn.
There are quite a few players like this.
For example, all TSM players are in place under the arrangements of the orangutan captain.
They are not as low-key as Xiu Mei.
The senior brother held a banner that stole the spotlight. It read in Chinese: "No one can fight!"
There is also a machine drawn next to it with the logo of The King.
Bilson sat next to his senior brother. He held up a support sign and kept gesturing towards the camera. The illuminated words on it read:
[A novel app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, a source-changing app used by old bookworms, huanyuanapp.org]
"TheKing, wait for me in the summer game!"
The audience who saw the live broadcast burst out laughing.
[Bilson is anxious. He was not crowned emperor last year. He needs to stabilize the throne this year.]
[Enhuang has grasped it and set records repeatedly. How can Bihuang not be anxious? 】
[Bihuang would be sorry for Brother Hao if he didn’t give him one or two hundred to help him win the championship. 】
Next to Bilson were Captain Orangutan and Maggiora.
The two men also held support signs that read: "The King, we still love you."
Behind it are a few red hearts, which look exactly like that.
However, the gorilla captain has too much flesh on his face and his smile is too kind.
The audience had to be amazed.
This is the charm of Shi Yizhong.
He left TSM, but this season, the entire TSM team came to cheer him on, and even allowed him to complete the trophy return ceremony alone.
The boss traveled thousands of miles with his employees to express his love and gratitude to him.
It can be seen that Li Hao's conquest of TSM is absolutely 100%.
The on-site director was very good and continuously captured the scene in the venue of 20,000 people.
More and more retired, semi-retired or active players are captured on camera.
For example, Spicy Hotpot, which had collaborated with Li Hao at the Asian Games, was in the front row at the event.
Next to him, there is the familiar Tiger Emperor of Spring.
What is even more surprising is that two low-key young men wearing hats were also spotted in the east stand.
It turned out to be a fat general.
The person next to the fat general was the first-generation general emperor, who once had an amazing battle with Li Hao and then lost.
There had never been any reports that they would come to watch the game live.
Near the southern stand, another unexpected alliance master appeared.
Dopa, the top laner king who once ranked first in major server lists and Shi Yi Zhong.
"Damn it! No wonder Mia said Dopa won't broadcast live tonight!"
"Dopa doesn't broadcast live, so you can secretly watch the e-sports Spring Festival Gala and enjoy it, right?"
"Many anchors went to the live broadcast. This time it was really the e-sports Spring Festival Gala, and there were so many professional players who came here to see it."
"Tom, whoever robbed the labor and management tickets, I can't get in at the entrance of the sports center!"
"Haha, brother, let me put an eye in for you, and your TP comes in."
"..."
As it approached two forty, the lights in the auditorium began to dim.
As Aunt Yu Shuang appeared on stage dressed up, commentators from each competition area shouted in the studio in various native languages.
"Dear viewers, this is the Oriental Sports Center in the Magic City, and the 2020 MIS Finals is about to begin."
"The contestants are about to appear at the venue!"
“The first to enter is the host of this year’s MSI, the powerful dynasty team Snake!”
"..."
Yu Shuang's voice was almost the same as that of the commentators. After her opening remarks, she waved her hand in the direction of the players' tunnel, and the lights suddenly came down.
She tried her best and shouted in the loudest voice:
"Welcome Team Snake!"
The BGM was roaring and the Magic City Sports Center was shaking. The audience was so loud and enthusiastic!
A professional player with a bad mentality must be trembling all over now.
The first one to appear was Snake’s top laner, Flandre.
Yu Shuang read the Holy Spear's ID loudly.
Flandre was a little excited, as if she had activated Youmu's initiative, and trotted all the way to where she was standing, just as she was about to do a tactical roll like Faker back then.
The second person to appear is the director of the pig factory.
Shi Yizhong's light was so bright that in just six months, the factory director was equivalent to being soaked in 84 disinfectant and cleaning himself up like crazy.
It is difficult for the factory director to criticize this season.
The professional junglers cried with envy.
Damn it, we also read the "Professional Jungler's Manual to Become a God". Everyone can die squat in the middle, but where can I find Shi Yizhong?
It’s not fair. Can each person be given one?
The American mid laner Blaber has something to say. I can also execute the execution of grabbing the middle lane, and then send it out together with the Emperor of Grace.
Therefore, the ultimate form of jungler is to have a big brother mid laner.
The Jarhead youth had not experienced this kind of ceremony in the World Championship finals for a long, long time, and he was a little nervous.
As he walked towards the stage, his facial expression became tense.
When a thunderous cheer erupted from the Oriental Sports Center, the director was startled.
As soon as Yu Shuang called out the ID "The King", the venue was completely boiling.
There were more than 20,000 spectators at the scene, not to mention 99% of them came to Shi Yizhong.
When Li Hao emerged from the player tunnel and waved to the audience, he was shrouded in all the lights and happily accepted the cheers and salutes from the audience.
At that moment, the second uncle in the audience noticed that there was light in the eyes of the beautiful girl beside him, and her eyes moved with Shi Yizhong's movements.
The spicy hot pot in the front row sighed to the big tiger god beside him:
"Huzi, it would be great if you were as strong as Brother Hao."
"You dream!" The big tiger god didn't look at the incense pot, his eyes were fixed on Li Hao.
…
The fat general said to the emperor next to him with a hint of regret: "If I could return to my prime, what I want to do most is to fight The King, but it's a pity that I don't have such an opportunity."
The emperor looked at Li Hao, smiled and said to the fat general:
"That's definitely not a good thing."
"Having such a regret is actually a blessing for you."
"If you meet this guy at his peak, I'm afraid you will live in the shadow for your entire career."
"Well, you're right."
Fatty agrees: "The King is an incomprehensible professional player. In the field of e-sports, he is the most unique, powerful and mysterious existence."
"Nothing can knock him down, not even injuries."
The two generals couldn't help but think that if a team had discovered The King a few seasons earlier, then when they looked up, there would be an even more terrifying hand in the sky, because it was the young and uninjured The King.
Fat General is very aware of the impact of injuries on professional players, so he has more respect for Li Hao.
This is the important reason that prompted him to come to the scene with the emperor today.
Seeing Li Hao overcome many difficulties and stand at the center of the stage, they seemed to be inspired. Maybe there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.
Yu Shuang had already received official instructions. When Li Hao came to the center of the stage, she slowed down her pace and applauded together with the audience, giving her the ultimate show of dignity and respect.
Then, Uzi, Lumao, Chris, Xiaohang, Xiaoma Ge and others all appeared.
Snake is standing on the blue square.
The T1 players came on stage and stood on the red square amidst the applause of the audience.
The stage special effects light up, and defense towers, canyon rivers, dragons, and marsh frogs all appear.
The MSI championship trophy is placed in the middle between Faker and Li Hao.
Across the clear line between red and blue, the two brothers Li looked at each other.
Online viewers can see ice and fire more clearly.
It’s just like the legendary 2016 A Song of Ice and Fire!
