Act 19: The Boy Who Came to the Stage for the First Time
KBS Broadcasting Company will broadcast the entire game, and the online broadcast and TV stations will be carried out simultaneously.
"Today's first game will be between SKT and FIN." The female host with a sleek ponytail sat in front of the stage, with the main stage still in darkness behind her.
"Before the game started, we didn't know whether SKT would let Su Yuhang, the first male player in the LCK, appear on the stage today." She pronounced the Chinese name politely.
Since the team's official announcement, the entire competition area has become aware of this player's existence.
"He should be on stage," the woman sitting next to him said, "after all, the audience is looking forward to Su Yuhang's appearance."
Before she finished speaking, the entire venue erupted into thunderous applause, and the big black screen suddenly lit up, and a boy wearing an SKT uniform suddenly appeared in the team's promotional video.
Although there was only a short scene, the young man's handsome appearance and confident eyes still caused waves of exclamations.
"This is SKT's substitute player?"
"It's so beautiful!"
"I love it, I love it. I have heard his voice before in Sister Li's live broadcast room. Not only does his voice sound good, he is also so handsome!"
"Are there all Yanmao upstairs? But to be honest, I am too."
"A good-looking boy will be forgiven even if he behaves badly."
The moment the promotional video was played, countless barrages flashed across the live broadcast room.
Although the true strength of this substitute player is not yet known, just a glimpse has made countless viewers become new fans of the team.
After the promotional video was played, the SKT players wearing white uniforms entered the venue one by one.
The tall Untara walked in the front, followed by Blank who smiled and waved, followed closely by the girl with long hair, Li Xianghe.
Ba walked out side by side, and finally Wolf and Su Yuhang entered slowly.
In order to let everyone know more about this male player, the director gave a close-up of the camera.
The young man in the picture has green and immature eyebrows, delicate facial features, soft facial lines, and eyes under the dark forehead as calm as a flat lake.
He stood silently at the end, his eyes reflecting the sea of lights under the stage.
"He is such a beautiful boy that people can't take their eyes off." The female commentator in the live broadcast room directly expressed everyone's feelings.
With the audience cheering, the host introduced all SKT members.
Afterwards, the players enter the preparation room aside, and the coach decides who will play in the game.
The FIN team is not well-known, but there are not a few fans who came to support today.
After the introduction of both teams, the list of players appearing today appeared on the big screen.
It lived up to everyone's expectations. In the first game, substitute SYH played, and he was paired with support Wolf.
FIN banned Faker's signature hero Rune Mage Ryze first, and SKT did not hesitate to ban new heroes Ornn and Rockbird.
The three heroes are all strong in the current version. Whether it is laning or support, they are all T1 level choices.
"Ornn is a hero with a particularly high ban rate in the KeSPA Cup. He is not afraid of any hero online. He can start long-distance team battles and help his teammates build equipment."
"FIN continues to ban them here, sending explorer Ezreal and twisted tree spirit Maokai to the BAN position."
SKT thought about it for a while and banned the Tauren Chieftain.
"Since the first round of selection, FIN has directly locked in the first choice of the current version of support - Miss Fortune. She has strong consumption ability online, and can also use her ultimate move to produce good output during team battles."
In order to make up for the team battle control and initiative, SKT came up with the "double ice" system, ice shooter and Sejuani.
"FIN chose Jace, who has good laning ability. As for the jungler, it is Prince Jarvan."
Kkoma stared at Jayce and hesitated for a while, then locked in a top laner who could easily cooperate with the jungler - Qinggang Ying.
The second round of bans begins, and SKT bans steam robots.
The on-site commentator couldn't help but frown slightly at such a strange BAN person.
"Is this a random choice? When did robots deserve such attention?"
Coach FIN seemed to understand the other party's contempt. She smiled softly in the camera, and then disabled the Dawn Goddess and Desert Emperor Azir.
"And SKT's last BAN hero is an unusual choice... Varus? This AD hero is not powerful enough to deserve a BAN position, right?" Regarding such a casual ban, the on-site commentator could only laugh bitterly.
Then the second round of selection began, and SKT revealed Xerath.
"Xerath should be assisting in the bottom lane. Before, I saw that Xerath often appeared in the pub game to assist, and the effect was pretty good."
"FIN chooses two moves in a row, Kuchi in the middle, and Jhin, the life master in the bottom lane."
"As the last choice, SKT locked up Clockwork Demon, a hero often used by player Li Xiangha."
The lineups of both sides are confirmed.
Blue Square FIN
Top order: Sword Future Guardian Jace
Jungler: Tarzan, Prince of Demacia
Mid laner: Rather Brave Bombardier Kuchi
Bottom lane: Viper, Jhin
Support: Lehends bounty hunter Miss Fortune
Red side SKT
Top order: Untara Qinggangying Camille
Jungler: Blank Sejuani, Wrath of the North
Mid laner: Faker Clockwork Demon Orianna
Bottom lane: SYH ice shooter Ashe
Support:Wolf Ancient Witch Spirit Xerath
The two parties entered the game and met each other along the river.
With the weakening of Dolan Sword and Dolan Shield, the choice for exiting the bottom lane is the three red long swords.
Because Blank chose the top red card, Su Yuhang and Wolf went online directly.
The late arrival of the fortune teller and the female gunman walked out of the triangular bushes.
Before the two of them could touch the line of troops, they were hit by Xerath's Arcane Pulse (Q).
Coupled with Ashe's volley of thousands of arrows, Miss Fortune, who was walking slightly forward, instantly lost half her health, and could only use the blood bottle she carried with her to replenish her health.
The strongest thing about this combination is not its continuous combat capability, but its online consumption.
After several consecutive losses, Miss Fortune and Fortune Master did not dare to take the initiative to hit the target, and could only wait silently for the troops to advance.
In four minutes, after clearing the upper half of the jungle, Sejuani returned to the city and made a green jungle knife, and walked towards the top lane, intending to gank Jace, who was too deep in the line.
After receiving the signal, the green steel shadow hooked up the wall, and the second section of the wall returned to cooperate with Jace, who was flashing dizziness and was about to escape.
Sejuani's Cold Assault (Q) follows the flash, and cooperates with the slowdown of Winter's Wrath (W) and the close-in Green Steel Shadow to create the passive of Eternal Frozen Realm (E).
Although at the moment when the control ended, Jace handed over the flash and returned to the defense tower, but he was still killed by Qinggangying's tactical sweep.
At this point, SKT gained first blood.
The enemy jungler, the Prince of Demacia, mirrored his steps and walked into the triangular grass in the bottom lane carrying the military flag.
After receiving the signal, the female gunman strode forward with rapid strides, decelerating in a hail of bullets.
Su Yuhang, who sensed something was wrong, fired thousands of arrows, and combined with Xerath's Impact Sphere (E), knocked down Miss Fortune, who stepped forward to save someone, until she was half-healthy.
Seeing this situation, the princes could only give up the idea of ganking. If they forced gank, their auxiliary Lehends might die first.
At six minutes, Tarzan tried to gank the middle lane, using Clockwork Demon's ultimate move to interrupt the prince's EQ, and used his healing spell to distance himself.
Ten minutes later, Xerath's impact ball hit Miss Fortune. The Ice Shooter kept up with the output, and the Bilgewater Scimitar slowed down, killing the female gunner on the spot.
Coupled with the lead in CS, Su Yuhang and Wolf have gained a considerable advantage in the bottom lane.
Twelve minutes later, Miss Fortune, who had just returned to the line, was hit by Sejuani's ultimate move, Ice Prison, and died again.
After knocking down the first blood tower in the bottom lane, SKT got its first wind dragon.
At the 13th minute, Sejuani, who was hiding in the grass in the middle, made a sudden attack, and used the Qinggang Shadow Hook to return to the wall to kill the lead Jace.
"Yuhang, can you come over? I think we can take down the opponent's mid-tower." Li Xianghe's cold voice came from the team's voice.
The Clockwork Demon synthesized the Morello Codex, coupled with the Wizard's Boots and the Demonic Codex, reaching a small peak in terms of combat effectiveness.
"I'm rushing to the middle." Thousands of arrows were fired to replace the last three long-range soldiers, and Su Yuhang and Wolf rushed to the middle.
The five members of SKT gathered in the middle. They planned to take advantage of the enemy's first death and take the middle tower, expand the field of view, and use the field of view advantage to compete for the Canyon Vanguard.
The opponent reacted quickly, and the heroic bombardier Kuchi returned to the city to replenish the power of the three phases, and rushed to the center accelerated by the explosive pack.
The prince crouched in the grass on the flank and turned on the scan to make sure he was not detected by the field of view. The fortune teller Jhin and Miss Fortune walked out from behind the defense tower and used their skills to clear out the minions entering the tower.
The offensive situation that originally belonged to SKT was fleeting, and the two sides faced off in the middle.
