LOL: This man is too persuasive!

Chapter 354 is raging on Summoner’s Rift

"From now on, Asia has been the strongest League of Legends region!"

The background of the beginning of the video is the dusk on Dalian Silver Beach, with seagulls passing by and Faker's figure appearing.

His eyes were firm and seemed to defy everything.

"Isn't it?"

[Strongest in Asia = No. 1 in the world? 】

[Faker’s uniform is half open, it’s so sexy! 】

[I have already guessed that as long as SKT enters the intercontinental competition, Faker will definitely be the protagonist of the promotional video]

【demon king! Take back your glory! 】

Seeing Faker appear as the first player in the promotional video, even in the LPL live broadcast room, many viewers couldn't help but sigh.

"East Asian monster house, this is no joke~"

Some viewers expressed emotion at the lines Faker said.

Almost everyone thought there was nothing wrong with the opening speech of the promotional video, and subconsciously expelled West Asia and Southeast Asia from Asia.

Those stinky guys can't even beat the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan competitions. How can they compete with the LPL and LCK?

In the video, under Faker's right hand, a generous figure appears.

"After so many years of fighting between the dragon and the tiger, someone must want to ask."

"Who is the strongest in Asia!"

Uzi turned around suddenly, and the profile of his face made his eyes extremely fierce.

In an instant, huge cheers erupted from the scene!

Snake: "For LMS, we are just a little bit behind every time."

Representative players from the three divisions of this Asian competition will appear one after another.

[I’m knocking, I’ll see through it but don’t tell you. You know the difference by heart! 】

[Eight Chinese teams, why should they win the LCK championship this year! 】

[When I think about Casarun going to RNG, I want to laugh. 】

[Anyway, this is a regional battle. Let Kasa go to EDG to sneak in and abuse Flash Wolves casually? 】

【is this necessary? During the my country Electronics MSI, the group stage was dominated by FW for two consecutive games! 】

[LCK: Our fourth seed at the bottom this year is skt. Do you think I am number one in Asia? 】

khan: "We represent the strongest in Asia!"

MMD: "We are the strongest on the surface!"

Doinb: "We want to be the strongest in the world!"

In the middle part of the promotional video, players from the three divisions are all vying for the reputation of being the strongest division.

Until the scene of the waves hitting the rocks in Haizhiyun Park and the cat climbing the tree appeared, the style of the painting suddenly changed!

As the representative of the music company, Fist immediately switched to a rock accompaniment that fit the style of the painting.

"The most champions, the longest reign!" BDD walked out of the darkness.

"But times have changed!" Xiaohu.

Broiler: "The failure of the past is for today's victory!"

CANDY: "This is a winner-takes-all game. Everything is possible before it starts!"

Ucal: "The winner will definitely be us!"

There is a constant alternation between veterans and newcomers.

Yu Wenbo, Thehsy, Ning, Zhizi, and Shi Senming from the LPL division all have shots!

Playing alternately with players from other competition regions, the speed of the video becomes faster and faster!

Finally, after LCK rookie top laner Kiin said "I will defeat all opponents," the screen suddenly darkened.

As the camera continues to advance, a luxurious chair appears with its back facing the camera, and on the seat, there is a tall figure sitting crookedly.

The background music also follows the zoom of the screen, becoming lighter and slower.

Suddenly, in a 180-degree turn, Jiang Zhun, who was sitting on a throne-like seat, stood up and appeared in the screen!

"Beat me!"

"My time is far from over!"

thump——

With the sharp sound made by the rapid beating of the drum, the promo ends!

【throne! In the past, Faker was sitting on it, but now he's the quasi-brother! 】

[Nexus’s contrasting lines at the end are so cool, right? Every player in front of him is eager to win, but he is looking forward to someone beating him! 】

["Old King and New Emperor"]

【Awesome! There are many contestants appearing in this promotional video, and many of the contestants' lines have profound meanings. 】

[Hey, after watching this promotional video, I feel like LPL has won the championship! 】

[Who will win if LPL doesn’t win? The fourth seed in the LCK is SKT, but our fourth seed IG in the LPL has 18 wins and 1 loss in the regular season! Isn't it obvious who is stronger? 】

"Let's welcome SKT——"

After the music completely disappeared, Ren Dong appeared on the stage again, and the lights in the entire venue lit up instantly, and smoke made of dry ice continued to rise around the stage!

Under Ren Dong's wave, the audience discovered that the LED scenery on the stage was divided into three areas, and each area had the abbreviation of a different competition area written on it!

The door to the LCK division opened, and there were three people in each row in the front and back. In the middle of the first row stood Faker's SKT crowd!

In an instant, a warm welcome erupted on the scene, and the sound of the cheer sticks beating continued!

[I haven’t seen Faker for a long time. This should be the first time I’ve seen the SKT team on the international stage this year, right? 】

[Hey, SKT didn't grasp it last year. This lineup is getting worse every year. Even Faker's performance in the spring game was a bit criminal. He's getting old! 】

[Indeed, although the only international competition before this year was MSI, it feels like SKT hasn’t seen it for a long time]

[While his illness is killing him, RNG’s chance to defeat SKT is finally here! 】

[Old Emperor, please restore me quickly! Starches are going crazy! 】

【Locust miscellaneous? It’s so damn disgusting. I can’t believe that your home team is here to recognize the stick as their father. Sure enough, it’s just the wrong person who didn’t call him the wrong nickname! 】

"The next person to appear is IG——"

After SKT debuted, the GRX team from the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan divisions appeared, followed closely by the teams from the LPL division.

The order in which the twelve teams from the three divisions will appear is actually very simple. It follows the order of the three divisions LCK, LMS, and LPL, with the low-seeded teams in each division appearing first.

Therefore, SKT will be the first to appear, while EDG is waiting for the finale!

Watching Duke, Thehsy, Ning and other six IG players dressed in white appear on the big screen above the venue, the scene was filled with thunderous cheers, several times louder than the cheers for the SKT team that had previously appeared. !

The sound waves constantly hit the eardrums of the audience!

Enduring and intense!

It’s hard to imagine that this is the cheer that only 10,000 people can give out!

After IG passed, the big cycle of LCK, LMS, and LPL began again.

Every time an LPL team comes on stage, the roar will be continuous, from the moment the players walk out of their 'competition area gate', to the end when they stand in the middle of the stage and greet the audience!

[The most united episode of LPL! 】

[I was at the scene. When the LCK and LMS teams came on stage, I didn’t shout a word. I left all the cheering to the LPL! 】

Soon, 11 teams entered the arena!

"At the end, let us give the warmest welcome to EDG's debut!!!"

Ren Dong said with all his strength, "Nexus——"

"MLXG!"

"..."

"Meiko!"

Compared to before, this time he read out the IDs of all the members of the EDG team!

After each ID, there was a huge cheer like a meteorite hitting the ground!

Not to mention the four teams in LCK and LMS, even the other three teams in LPL are all envious!

Looking back carefully at the past year in League of Legends, it is indeed a year for EDG.

Summer Split Champion, World Split Champion, Spring Split Champion, MSI Champion

As long as the LPL can win this MSI championship again, then EDG can be proud to call themselves a "one-year Grand Slam" team. Although there are some sneaky concepts, I have to admit that this is indeed irrefutable. fact!

"The only thing I can say is that I am envious."

Yu Wenbo sighed softly while waiting for EDG to enter the area belonging to the LPL camp.

"You are still young and you have a chance."

Because the two teams IG and RNG stood side by side, Yu Wenbo's words were still heard by the gestures on the side.

The guy with a playful smile at this moment, but his tone just now was quite serious.

When EDG entered the area belonging to the LPL, all three division teams returned to their positions!

The formations arranged by the three parties are surprisingly similar to the layout of a map online that designs Summoner's Rift as 5V5V5!

As the cheers died down, the lights dimmed again.

"The S8 League of Legends Asian Competition officially begins!"

After Ren Dong roared with exhaustion, the speakers around the stage vibrated loudly, and then the large screen in the center of the venue began to play the video.

After seeing this, Guan Zeyuan, who was preparing for the game in the commentary box, remembered that several people also became nervous.

The schedule for the Intercontinental Championship is very tight.

After the opening ceremony, the group stage will begin.

In the darkness, the twelve teams from the three divisions had quietly left the stage and prepared for the competition in the lounges belonging to their respective divisions.

The opening match between EDG and Flash Wolves will start in 15 minutes!

After the video played at the scene ends, the director will cut the camera to the commentary box, where several people will analyze the competition area and team strength to make the transition. After a few advertisements, the game will officially start.

"In the Far East, above the canyon, three heroes roam!"

"One is a heroic spirit who once owned everything!"

"Farewell to the past life and find the way to the new world"

"One is a divine eagle, soaring in hope of revenge and returning to the top of the world!!"

"A hunter, brave and fearless by nature, kills gods and eliminates demons, and his hymn spreads throughout the world!!"

"The heroes are gathering together, ready to go. I'm waiting for you!"

The video is very short, with dubbing similar to Kung Fu Panda + close-ups of players and heroes as the main content.

Many old league viewers quickly saw the meaning.

The three heroes, the Eagle, and the Hunter refer to the LMS, LCK, and LPL divisions respectively!

"The heroic spirit Thresh should refer to FW's auxiliary Snake!" "The rock bird should be BDD, but I don't understand why it is said to be the condor?"

“Finally, it’s UZI’s ex-wife Vayne, she’s so full of cards!”

A senior veteran couldn't help but be excited when he saw that Riot used Vayne and UZI to represent the LPL.

He didn't care that his raised arms would affect the perception of the audience in the two rows behind him, so he explained loudly to a confused and new audience on the side.

Likewise, barrages are also pouring out like crazy!

[Uzi: My face is half the screen! 】

[This music is so exciting. If I win, I invite Zhizi to DJ directly, and he will kill you all! 】

[There is no number one AD in the world, but if you sell more, you will become the top one - Zhou Shuren]

【fair! LCK promises not to use Faker, and our LPL will not send Nexus! 】

[Haha, only a 200-pound vn is a puppy! 】

[You may not believe it, but our LPL’s Vayne can Q twice in a row (＾Ｕ＾)ノ~ＹＯ]

【Attack on Titan perspective! 】

……

"Why did you ask the factory director to go up and place the trophy? Didn't you say that Tryndamere was here to place the trophy for the Intercontinental Championship?"

In the LPL lounge, after Aguang saw the video playing, the director suddenly appeared on the stage holding the intercontinental championship trophy, and he was extremely surprised!

"I remember didn't Riot ask us to return the trophy a few weeks ago, and then imitate O'Neal's award to Faker in the S7 intercontinental game, and return the trophy in person?"

"Tryndamere went to LJL last week to inspect the work, and then he had diarrhea after eating seafood. He still hasn't recovered, so it was temporarily canceled."

Meiko, a PHS expert, leaned next to the old thief Sima and said slowly: "The person in charge of domestic fists only got the news last night, so they temporarily arranged for the factory director to go up and return the trophy."

"So that's it." Aguang scratched his head blankly, "The factory director is indeed quite suitable, but in ten minutes you will go on the field to fight the Flash Wolf. When the factory director is running around like this waiting for BP Isn’t it because the brain is deprived of oxygen?”

"Haha, do you need to use your brain to BP Flash Wolf?" Jiang Zhun said with a smile: "Can't we just ask Brother Ka? He knows Flash Wolf best."

"Do you still need my help?"

While holding his mobile phone and looking at his favorite two-dimensional player at Station B, Casa changed the subject: "The 17 Intercontinental Championship was originally from the LPL. It was quite reasonable to return the trophy in 18 and ask the factory director to put it away. He is still Player No. 001.”

"I'm 003!"

The posture on the side suddenly shouted, then turned to look at Letme and asked: "Yan Junze, how much are you?"

For this,

Yan Junze directly rolled his eyes and replied: "When will the LPL also learn from the LCK's method of playing seniority? Let me ask, do you know how old Brother Zhun is in his 00s?"

"Forget it, whether you know it or not, they have world championships. How many world championships have you won by playing in the LPL for so long?"

"Uh"

The gesture was speechless.

Just when the lounge fell into a brief silence, the factory director ran in panting.

"Are you ready?"

"This venue is so big, I almost died!"

After sitting down and drinking a few mouthfuls of happy water, the director's expression became soothing.

"It's almost done. In fact, we have already prepared what should be prepared. We will wait until we see the real chapter in the game!"

"Yeah, yeah, we have five minutes to go. Today we have just one game and then get off work!"

The factory director thought for a while: "It is said that the seafood here in Dalian is different from that in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai. I looked for a few stores on Meituan."

"Hey, hey, hey!"

"Stop!"

Just when the factory director was about to take out his mobile phone, Zhi Zhi suddenly stood up and said, "We in the intercontinental competition are fighting for the LPL region! You can't just get off work and go eat seafood and abandon us after the game!"

"This affects morale very much. If you lose, can you, Mingkai, bear the responsibility?"

"Uh, I can't afford it." Looking at the righteous words in his posture, the factory director took a few more sips of happy water, and then asked, "Would you like me to bring you some sea cucumbers to replenish before the game?"

"Towards the north!"

He smiled happily and said, "I don't want your sea cucumber, I'd rather drink Xiaojiang's wolfberry tea than take a bite of your sea cucumber!"

"By the way, Xiao Jiang, do you dare to make a bet?"

"What are you betting on?" Jiang Zhun looked at the gesture with some confusion.

He suddenly found that he couldn't understand the posture.

This birdman was originally a bit of a thief when he was in Snake, but after joining RNG, he became even more perverted.

In addition to saying some naughty words all day long, he was just doing naughty things, so that sometimes I was affected by him and would come up with some inexplicable words.

"When you are about to leave, my brother will make you a cup of wolfberry tea with boiling water."

"If you can fuck the Flash Wolf to death before the water temperature drops to 52 degrees, I will treat EDG to seafood tonight!"

"Seriously!?" Jiang Zhun's eyes lit up, but he quickly realized something was wrong, "Did you bring a thermometer?"

"No ah!"

"Then how do you check whether the water temperature is 52 degrees?"

Facing Jiang Zhun's curious gaze, Zhi Zhi squinted his eyes and stuck out his tongue to lick his lips.

"use this!"

Jiang Zhun:? ? ?

……

"The LMS division won yesterday's coin toss, and the FW team chose the red side in this round!"

Guan Zeyuan's voice appeared, and I remember also helping him: "Flash Wolves won the title of God of BO1 when they were at MSI. Although FW lost to EDG in the double round-robin BO1 group stage at that time, But facing world-class teams like KZ and FCN, Flash Wolves have won!"

"Flash Wolf's BO1 is quite impressive. Choosing the red side in this round is probably a weird move!"

On the first day of the group stage, 6 games will be held.

The first three games will be narrated by Guan Zeyuan, while the last three games will be narrated by Wang Duoduo and Rita.

The two old guys, Wawa and Miller, commented on the semi-finals and finals.

"Every win in the group stage is crucial to the LPL!"

"Because, the division with the most points in the group stage today and tomorrow can directly advance to the finals the day after tomorrow."

"The two divisions ranked second and third in points will compete in the semifinals on the third match day of the intercontinental competition!"

"This means that as long as you play well in the group stage, the entire division will be able to play one less BO5!"

"If you don't perform well, even if you are at the bottom, you will not be eliminated directly, but if you want to advance to the finals, you will have to play one more BO5."

The first round of selection for both sides had just begun, and I remember and Guan Zeyuan did not directly bring the topic to BP.

After all, the lineup can only be roughly understood after the first few games. If the selection is explained at the beginning, once one party falls into thinking and does not choose a hero quickly, it will lead to a cold start.

"In other words, every BO1 victory is crucial to our LPL division!"

"I hope EDG can get off to a good start!"

After the two chattering words were finished and they were introduced to the audience who did not know much about the rules of the intercontinental competition, the first round of selection between EDG and Flash Wolves was just completed.

"Oh!"

"We can see that the red side revealed the Sword Demon very early."

"Is there any trick behind this?"

Looking at the selection of Flash Wolves, I remember that I successfully found the topic!

The hero Sword Demon has always been rarely selected in professional arenas because of its low strength.

It wasn't until the opening game of the summer split that Jiang Zhun showed the audience the strength of the Conqueror Blood Sword Demon that he attracted the attention of major teams.

For a time, Sword Demon became a must-choice hero in the LPL division.

Although the priority of Sword Demon has dropped due to subsequent research by the coaching staff of each team, he is still a frequent player in the game. Aatrox even appears in the top lane of the LCK and European and American divisions.

However, this wave of popularity did not cause Riot to cancel its redo plan. After all, the redo of Sword Demon was confirmed at the end of the S7 season. Riot’s designers basically completed the sword before the start of the summer split. Changes to the demon background story, character models, and skill mechanics.

In version 8.13, the new Aatrox officially appears!

Since the strength of the [Blood Surge] version of the Sword Demon is not low, and it is extremely invincible at the single-band level, those Sword Demon players who enjoy playing eight swords per second or survive with residual health and complete the counter-kill are very unhappy with the Sword Demon whose skills have been greatly changed. After getting started, the winning rate has been between extremely low numbers since its launch.

However, the Sword Demon is a frequent visitor in the arena!

"MSI is using version 8.14, and this version of Sword Demon has been severely weakened!" I remember saying with a smile.

Guan Zeyuan on the side understood instantly: "This is directly related to EDG's Nexus. I believe many viewers have seen this sentence in the update announcement."

"The sword demon is raging on the road!"

"For players who are proficient in Aatrox's unique skills, this hero is too powerful, especially for early-game lanes. A skilled Aatrox is basically unsolvable, and even some used It is difficult for the shooter heroes who come to bully the warrior heroes on the top lane to suppress them.”

After skillfully reciting the reason why Riot weakened Sword Demon in the update announcement, the barrage in the LPL live broadcast room exploded instantly:

[Really, the sword demon that had just been reworked at that time was completely different in the hands of brother Zhun and in the hands of other players! 】

[Brother Zhun used the old version of Sword Demon before, and immediately stole his attitude. He also became the last player to use the old version of Sword Demon in the League of Legends game. Later, brother Zhun used the new version of Sword Demon to score 17/0/7. The guy in posture started to steal it again, but was beaten to 0/7/1 by Brother Holy Spear! 】

[The thieves know how to imitate others! 】

[Hey, my hero training is too slow. When Sword Demon was strong in version 8.13, my proficiency was not high. When I finished it in 8.14, the hero was nerfed again. For an old person like me, playing Sword Demon is really not as good as playing Sharp. Wen]

【071 out! 】

While everyone was discussing the various classic jokes caused by the revamp of Sword Demon, both parties also completed their selection.

EDG (Blue): Top laner Ryze, jungler Troll, mid laner Dao Mei, AD Xia, support Luo

FW (Red): Top laner Sword Girl, jungler Sword Demon, mid laner Zoe, AD Lucian, support Titan

"Flash Wolf is really a jungle sword demon with tricks?"

"This kind of gameplay, let alone in competitions, I haven't encountered it even in Rank."

Guan Zeyuanhe remembered looking at the sword demon whose summoner skill was Punishment, frowning.

Don't be afraid of your opponent being strong, just be afraid of your opponent being weird!
