Chapter 293 [Final starts]

Tabe glanced at Little Peanut's longing eyes, then looked at Ning Wang's eager exchanges with his teammates, and finally nodded.

Originally, MSI was not planning to bring King Ning here this time.

However, there must be 7 players participating, a substitute and an emergency substitute. Forget about the emergency substitute, it is basically just a decoration.

But the substitute is different. He requires that he be a player who has appeared in the spring split, so naturally King Ning becomes the best candidate.

After all, even if other players can make it, there is still a problem with the team, and problems will arise if they are not kept together in an event like MSI.

Seeing Tabe nod, Little Peanut pursed his lips and smiled.

In this BO5, he will definitely get back everything he lost last year!

5 month 12 day.

Early in the morning, Chu Ge and the others were called up by team leader Chen Zi to participate in official activities, and went to the studio to shoot the finals promotional video and also record the trash talk session.

Broiler and King Ning complained a little.

They have not had a day off since the competition. They were either training, on the way to training matches, or involved in various official activities and interviews.

From the Spring Split to now, their rest time is definitely the least among the teams in the LPL. It’s painful but also happy.

This is one of the differences between MSI and S.

MSI's schedule is more compact, with two semi-finals and one final, all played within three days.

Counting trivial matters such as shooting promotional videos, players don't have much time to play training matches and study versions.

Therefore, in previous MSI competitions, from the group stage to the finals, each team's understanding of the version has basically not changed much.

Those are the strong heroes in the group stage, and those are the same heroes in the finals.

The S competition is different. The two-month schedule includes the qualifying rounds, group stages, knockout rounds, semi-finals, and finals.

Give the players enough time to study the version. Often, the heroes who must be banned in the group stage are no longer interested in the later stages.

Since Chu Ge traveled through time, he now also sees from the perspective of a professional player why the LPL always wins the championship in MSI, but in the S game, his hips stretch.

the reason is simple.

The version used by MSI is basically the same version used in the Spring Split, and there will not be much change. LPL players have a high degree of adaptability, and they can use the version of heroes as they like.

but
After the S game, due to version changes, many teams in the LPL still stayed in the original version. Many players did not practice version heroes and stayed in their comfort zones.

In addition, the basic skills are generally different from those in the LCK. After reaching the S game, even if they wake up and study the version, the players cannot spare the time to practice new heroes.

This also led to many times when viewers saw LPL teams unable to even understand their homework, and were beaten into silence by LCK teams.

Unless their team's players already have a deep reserve of hero pools, even if there are changes, they can adapt as quickly as possible.

But obviously.

Today's IG will not be in such a situation. Whether it is the midfielder, top jungler, or bottom lane duo, their hero pool is generally relatively deep.

Up to now, it is IG that has been stimulating the nerves of Riot Games, forcing them to change their style of play to prevent IG from continuing to be invincible in the S game and completing consecutive championships.

This is why the S competition is currently the most valuable competition, bar none!
At one o'clock in the afternoon, the spectators who had been waiting for a long time began to enter the venue one after another.

At this time, although it was 3 o'clock in the middle of the night in China, the LPL officials were not really lying down and planned a lot of pre-match programs.

Well-known anchors, commentators, and even professional players were invited to provide pre-game commentary and stay up late to watch the game with the audience.

For example, the Deyunse brothers, PDD, Rita, and EDG's soul figure Qi Jiang.

Normally, factory directors don’t really like to participate in such activities.

But Chu Ge came from EDG and has a close relationship with him. It is normal to explain a friend's game.

In fact, the anchor and commentator are easy to understand, but the official invited Ming Kai this time, which is worth pondering.

Human beings like Cube Dragon and PPD have already realized something, and they know it in their hearts.

This is the official start of planning to build momentum!
The fact that IG won the championship last year surprised everyone. Even Principal Wang himself did not expect that his team could actually defeat SKT and win the championship.

Not to mention, the officially planned event review program attracted a lot of viewers.

After all, the invitees were all popular anchors, plus Ming Kai, the man with the highest traffic in the LPL.

Although EDG's results in the S competition in the past two years have not been ideal, their influence in the league is unquestionable, as can be seen from the fact that last year's "Blitzkrieg at the Polish Embassy" was called Guodian.

Nowadays, the only one who can compete with the popularity of the factory director is Chu Ge.

Mingkai is a very talkative person in private, and he also talks a lot.

Ming Kai sat comfortably on the sofa and talked eloquently: "Last summer, we actually planned to keep the Dow players, but the manager at the time failed to reach an agreement when negotiating salary."

"As far as I know, Dow had less than four digits in savings at the time and was very short of money. As a result..."

"The salary offered by the management was too low, which is why Director Dow left."

It was obviously the first time for Rita to hear such an inside story, and she said curiously: "So that's it! I've always been curious, because Director Dow obviously performed very well in that game on EDG."

"Why did you suddenly leave the team?"

Mingkai spread his hands and explained: "It's probably because we have no connection with Director Dow. Last year, our tactical core was in the bottom half, so we really couldn't provide him with much tactical resources."

When he said this, the live broadcast room exploded.

[If Director Dow had stayed with EDG last year, I really feel they could have broken through the top eight curse]

[It’s that silly warm third young master who cheated EDG before leaving, but stayed at RNG for one season and then left]

【Turtle!It turns out that we wrongly blamed Guodian, and we all blamed San Shao! 】

[Is he going to destroy Chinese e-sports? 】

[Fortunately, Su Xiaoluo’s vision is fine, otherwise Director Dow would have really become the anchor]

[It’s okay to be a host, Director Dow’s live broadcast is very effective! 】

"Hello, good evening, viewers, and welcome to the finals of the 2017 League of Legends MSI Mid-Season Invitational!"

"Hi everyone, I'm a doll!"

"I'm Miller!"

"I do remember!"

Currently, the Haier brothers are the mainstays of LPL official commentary.

Every time there is a major competition, and it is a key competition in which the LPL team participates, the official will basically arrange for the two of them to provide commentary.

After a simple opening remarks, the screen turned and began to play pre-match trash talk.In the studio with a blurred background, Huni looked serious and spoke a series of Korean words with Chinese subtitles below.

"Dow is a very strong player. He should be the strongest opponent I have ever faced since I entered the profession. In the group stage, I was defeated by him twice. Also last year when I was a commentator in the European and American divisions, Dow's Their strength left a deep impression on me.”

"A big part of the reason why I want to return to the LCK is to defeat Dow on the stage in person on the platform of SKT. Now, here I am!"

The next second, the screen turned, and Chu Ge's handsome face appeared on the screen. Compared to Huni's declaration of revenge, his trash talk was too pure. "I think SKT's biggest mistake was not bringing a substitute top laner to MSI. Sorry, I'm not targeting Huni, I'm talking about everyone here, not even one of them!"

on the commentary.

Wawa said loudly: "Dow's trash talk is still as sharp as ever!"

"It's right!"

Miller couldn't help but laugh.

I remember laughing too: "You have to watch IG for trash talk! They really figured out the effect of the show!"

The next second, little peanut appeared on the screen.

With makeup and silver hair, Little Peanut looked pink and tender, and her silver hair made countless European and American audiences cheer again.

Be reasonable.
This kind of sissy culture itself is not very attractive to European and American audiences. They prefer strong and powerful muscles.

But it's obvious that they are expressing their appreciation for Xiaohuahua's strength.

When he talks, he also looks soft and weak, but when it comes to the professional arena, he is extremely fierce.

"I think Kakao, as the former jungle king of the LCK, what does he want to do now that he comes back again? The younger generation of junglers have already taken your place, so you can rest in peace and retire."

Kakao kept a straight face and said calmly: "The little flower is so cute. If we lose 3:0, he will definitely cry, right?"

These words immediately caused the barrage to surge again.

Next, it’s the turn of SKT’s bottom lane duo.

Bang: "I am very grateful to IG because after losing to them in last year's global finals, I found my goal again, but this does not mean that I will be soft-hearted in the finals!"

Wolf: "LWX and Crisp performed very well, but that's all. Last year I fell to Wuxx and Baolan. This year I will make them understand that newcomers still have a long way to go to win the championship. .”

Soon, Lin Weixiang's wise face appeared on the screen.

Lin Weixiang: "Bang is known as a robot, but now this machine is obviously starting to age. It is recommended that it be repaired. I like your title of Hexagon Warrior very much, and it is mine now."

Liu Qingsong: "There's nothing good to say about SKT's bottom lane. Anyway, it's 3:0. As for Wolf, I really don't have much impression."

Faker made his final appearance, sat in a chair, gave a long speech, and concluded with one sentence. “LCK’s glory will be created by me!”

Compared to Faker, Rookie has more duties.

"Faker, actually, has always been a player that I admire very much. But now, I should have the final say in the mid lane."

"Also, it's been a long time since I last saw you, Kakao player. I hope you can still maintain the strength we had when we worked together on IG, otherwise I will let you know how terrible my progress in the past few years has been!"

As the trash talk session ended, the highlights of the two teams began to play on the big screen in the Olympic Stadium.

At the same time, the light in the venue gradually dimmed, and finally fell into darkness.

"boom!"

Suddenly, a dazzling beam of light fell and shone in the center of the stage.

The golden MSI trophy reflects brilliant light under the light!
The host's rough and characteristic tongue-licking voice echoed throughout the competition venue.

The host in a suit held a microphone in his hand, walked up to the trophy, and shouted passionately:
"Welcome to the 2017 MSI Finals!"

Feeling the sound coming from his ears, the host smiled with satisfaction, then raised the microphone again and introduced the contestants from both sides to the audience one by one.

Soon, when the cheers of the audience stopped, the host continued to shout: "Let us give warm applause to the two teams again!"

"The 2017 MSl Finals has officially begun!"

At the end of the opening ceremony, Chu Ge turned around and walked towards the contestants' bench, where he began to adjust the equipment and make final preparations before the finals.

While the players were debugging their equipment, commentators from each competition area began pre-match analysis and predictions.

LCK commentary booth.

South Korea also attaches great importance to this final, and the commentary lineup they sent is very luxurious.

Two commentators, Roar Emperor and Bitdol, were sent respectively, and maknoon was also invited as a guest.

Needless to say, Roaring Emperor has been in the industry for more than ten years and is a veteran e-sports commentator and host in South Korea.

It can even be traced back to the racing of go-karts...

Bitdol is a new commentator in the LCK recently. Due to his deep understanding of the game, clear thinking, and sharp words, he gained the love of many viewers not long after joining the industry.

And maknoon is very unfamiliar to LPL audiences.

This person is the first-generation top laner in the LCK. For how old his qualifications are, you can refer to Brother Zuo Wudao of the LPL.

The shy guy who once shot four PDDs had to bow respectfully and say hello to him when he saw him.

At that time, maknoon was the idol of many new top laners and had a lot of fans, such as Princess Flame, Marin, etc.

At this time, the three people in suits and ties were conducting pre-game analysis.

Roaring Emperor said with a serious face: "Although we comfort other divisions every year, saying that the strength gap between teams in the divisions is constantly narrowing, this sentence has become a reality this year. The speed of progress of LPL and LEC is surprising."

"Before this, I never thought that an LEC team would be able to play five games with SKT, and I never thought that an LPL team could end the battle 3:1 against SKT last year."

"If it were two years ago, we wouldn't have dared to think about it."

"That's right!
Bitdol nodded solemnly and echoed: "Yesterday's BO5 game can clearly feel the progress of the G2 team in terms of operational tactics, and the players' personal abilities have not fallen behind. I think for SKT, today's final will be A very huge challenge. The new champions from the LPL really seem to have the ability to overturn everything."

Roaring Emperor analyzed: "IG is a team that focuses on the road. From the beginning, their style of play has always been like a ferocious beast. There is no reason at all. As long as they get an advantage, they will do the same thing. Completely knock down your opponent with a combination of punches!"

"It's well known."

"Our LCK is famous for its operation system, but IG's tactics seem to be very restrained from the operation system. Because they will not give their opponents a chance to interfere with their operations, they will look for you to fight like crazy, and they are the kind of people who can't escape."

the other side.

LPL commentary seat.

Miller analyzed: "SKT is strong in operations and teamwork. The key is that they are the best in the world in every position, so ordinary teams will be helpless when facing SKT. Whether they can win the finals depends on the top lane. , if Huni can withstand the guidance of Dow, then SKT will be able to drag down its familiar operating rhythm."

"Once I can no longer withstand it and am torn open, the IG team's combination punches will come."

I remember taking over the conversation and said: "In addition, SKT's state is also a problem. In yesterday's semi-finals, it can be clearly seen that Faker's state is not good, it can even be said to be very bad. He almost overturned, and finally relied on Kakao and It was the outstanding performance of the bottom duo that led to the victory in G2.

"I think if SKT is still in the same state as yesterday, it will be dangerous to face the IG team."

"That's right!"

Wawa agreed and said with a smile: "IG and G2 are different. They will not give their opponents any chance."

"Oh, both players have finished debugging. Let's look forward to the BP tactics of both sides."

At this time, the picture on the big screen turned and entered the BP interface.
