Chapter 174 The Host

October 10 at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The Wuhan Sports Center was packed with people, and more than 5000 spectators came to the opening ceremony.

Looking at the S competition, only S7 can reach this scale in the group stage!

The degree of heat can be imagined.

The scene was extremely noisy, and the teams from various major competition areas waiting in the background could see the enthusiasm of the LPL competition area.Foreign audiences who came from afar were also immersed in the lively atmosphere in Wuhan.

The MV recorded in advance is presented on the big screen as a warm-up.

Riot classic special effects appear.

A fist hits the camera, and the glass shattering effect forms the Riot logo.

The screen jumped instantly, taking Wuhan, the starting point of the group stage, as a prelude, and iconic buildings such as the Yangtze River Bridge, Jianghanguan Building, and Yellow Crane Tower appeared one after another.

The figures of the players from each competition area flicker in these architectural images.

"Legends Never Die" plays in the background.

The opening ceremony shot first showed the LPL team, and what appeared on the screen were the EDG players wearing neat uniforms.

Then he enlarged a figure from behind and it said:

——Clearlove7.

Wuhan is the hometown of Severn, and this wave of "hometown e-sports" sentiments are overwhelming.

Saiwen, bursting with love for his mother-in-law, said in a sexy voice:

"When I came to Wuhan this time, I met a lot of fans, and they all came to support EDG. With everyone's support, I hope I can play better and better. The land under my feet is giving me a steady stream of strength, and I look forward to playing my best in S7. good grade."

On the LPL broadcast platform, the "hometown e-sports" memes due to Li Jin's popularity are being posted on the barrage.

Other barrages are various numbers.

"Never underestimate Nanchichan who is stepping on his homeland."

"Seven limited skin - hometown version."

Heizi also said:

"Seven: My hometown is very good. I plan to stay for a while and not go to Guangzhou."

"Bold! It implies that Shichi-chan is the top [-], right?"

"Muay Thai Warning!"

……

The second transition screen showed the famous Swedish player Ou Cheng, standing alone on the wooden bridge by the river.

The subtitles team translated his words:
"Each global finals takes on a new look. There is no need to think about previous results. We start again from the same place and move closer to the trophy. Let the results speak for themselves."

The music melody changes, and the expression of the Danish genius Bilson looks like he has just stepped out of the Internet.

In front of the Yellow Crane Tower, he said:
"I'm eager to prove myself in the World Series, I'm eager to break through, and I'm eager to gain world honors."

Seeing Bilson's appearance, many people felt sorry for the North American dean.

The classic "one god with four eyes".

"Two runner-ups are not enough. I hope to win the championship." This is Uzi.

He was sullen and serious when he spoke.

The Yujianmen fans at the scene all cheered when they heard this.

Dragon Ball Team Champion AD Rat King said:
"This is a world championship that is full of challenges and extremely attractive, because there is an opponent in the AD position that I respect very much and want to challenge very much. I have been practicing hard for a whole season, and finally the world championship begins!"

Pray showed a smile in the camera and looked extremely excited.

Fans who often follow professional events will understand.

Pray is naturally talking about Li Jin.

Although Pray was last year's champion AD AD, this year he is the No. [-] seed in the LCK Summer Championship, and his ranking is very high.

But he was still firmly suppressed by his former big brother.

This is a resistance to Onii-chan. I don’t know if he will be blown away.

The eldest brother's dirty words came from the MV: "This time in S7, I will no longer give away a victory that could have been easily won out of pity for my opponent. I will learn to be cruel."

The audience laughed.

In terms of gossip, the North American senior brother is still the MVP, and the others are 'junk'.

Several more players successively spoke out their opening declarations for the S game, and the audience did not find it boring at all.

As soon as Li Guapi, the top 2 on the poisonous milk list, appeared, the cheers in Wuhan immediately became louder.

Even in the LPL division at this time, the Big Devil still has a large number of fans.

Lee Sang Hyuk's voice came out faintly:

"Some people have said I'm a legend before, and I feel like, to be a legend, you have to beat players like me multiple times."

"And I am also re-pursuing the definition of legend,"

"S7 will be a great journey, and I want to get something back in this World Championship."

His words were confident and confident.

It caters to the S7 theme again.

It is not difficult to imagine what definition of legend Lee Sang Hyuk is pursuing.

——Legends Never Die!

Legends never die.

The last piece of the puzzle for the S crown and the third crown dynasty.

Many viewers are thinking that if it hadn't been for a terrifying Tigers team last year, Li Guapi might have realized his dream, and his current statement would have been in a different style.

However, as far as the current hard honors of the players are concerned.

Faker is still number one.

After all, the MV played live was shot by LPL officials, so the final shot was naturally of LPL players.

Top 1 on the poisonous milk list.

The most impressive figure in LPL right now!
In the picture, the Summoner's Trophy, which symbolizes the highest glory, appears under the thick fog by the river. The scene specially created by the designer has already filled the atmosphere.

With the movement of a hand, the fog around the Summoner's Trophy immediately dissipated.
It seems to mean that the road ahead of LPL is no longer confused.

A handsome, handsome face with sharp eyes appeared next to the Summoner's Trophy.

Li Jin's domineering appearance triggered a continuous and huge cheer in Wuhan.

The enthusiasm far exceeds that of Faker!

The host’s charm is on full display!
The LPL audience is not just showing off, their cheers and pride both online and offline are completely from the heart.

Looking at the many world championships that LPL has participated in.

In which world championship can an LPL Chinese player suppress powerful opponents from major competition regions around the world?
Absolutely not!

At this time, this man at the Wuhan Sports Center can, for the first time, let LPL players enjoy this super refreshing feeling of suppressing others.

And this feeling is quite practical.

Confidence comes from strength,
At this time, in major competitions, when it comes to LPL, WE's AD position will immediately come to mind.

For any team that aspires to win the championship, Li Jin is someone they cannot ignore.

"This is a season of pursuing legends. Every professional player is looking for the only answer in his heart, and when I returned to the LPL, I already understood what the answer was."

"Standing in the world arena, I saw the Summoner's Cup again. It is so close to me and the LPL."

"We are connected."

"At this moment, I must think."

"It is our duty to build the glory of LPL."

In the picture, Li Jin's eyes are firm, he reaches out and clenches his fist on his chest. His voice may not seem loud, but he is full of passion and generosity.

The Chinese audience in Wuhan responded with a roar like a roaring mountain and a tsunami!
"Come on, Brother Jin!"

"Uuuuuu, Brother Koi, my most proud belief!"

"Always support Brother Jin!"

……

In the barrage and comment area, a large number of LPL viewers were infected.

In the MV, Li Jin's voice is not loud, but in everyone's ears, it sounds like a big bell, deafening and enlightening.

Everyone couldn't help but think.

Although the LPL has a weak foundation and no S-level championship, it must not let outsiders look down upon it on its own territory this year. The teams representing the LPL must have the courage to fight to the death, and the determination to keep the championship in China!

They felt it from Li Jin's expression.

It is this belief that he conveys!

"Brother Jin~~!!"

Xiao Duan backstage was very excited and looked at Li Jin with admiration.

The same is true for 957 and Xiye. Even though this is not the first time they have heard it, at the S7 scene, they are still inspired by these words. They feel hot inside and want to play right away and make the Chinese audience proud of themselves.

A sense of responsibility and mission has been carried on my shoulders.

Even if Hongmiduo arranges overtime for training matches, there will be no complaints.

Long Nan looks at Li Jin more like his life mentor. Something like "original intention" was awakened.

Li Jin patted Xiao Duan's shoulder next to him: "It's useless to talk big words."

"When we get to the competition field, we need to unite as one and cheer together!"

"Yes!"

"come on!"

Hongmi said: "Looking at the schedule, although the group stage period is easy, we have to make good use of the time to adapt to the 7.18 version. There is a big gap between the adaptation in the training game and the official game. We need to quickly restore the regular level of the summer season."

The truth is simple, but every word is very powerful.

The muscles on Hongmi's face were slightly stretched outwards, and they were tight.

Entering World Championship mode, he knows that nothing can be careless and details determine victory or defeat.

The little beast manager standing at the door saw the staff in the distance and quickly turned around and said: "Get ready, we are about to appear!"

On the live stage in Wuhan.

Ren Dong used up at least half a bottle of hair wax, and his hair was shiny.
"Welcome to the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals!"

The Grasp of Immortality shouted with a loud voice:

“This is Wuhan, China, welcoming League of Legends summoners from all over the world!”

"The qualifying round has ended. Next, the top clubs from each major competition area will start the group stage here and once again challenge for the championship."

"The teams are all ready."

"First of all, I would like to invite Team A to appear!"

On the big screen, the glorious moments of Group A teams this season were recalled in turn.

The first team to appear is naturally WE, one of the hosts of the LPL.

Li Jin appeared as the leader.

Stepping out of the entrance channel with his front foot, Ren Dong shouted "WE" there.

However, his voice was almost drowned out by the sound of the scene.

WE's five players are all Huazi.

Stepping into the home court is like stepping into your own home, holding your head high and waving to the audience with confidence.

The cheers never stopped from beginning to end.

Xiye, Long Nan and others were breathing heavily and their hearts were racing.

The occasion and the meaning behind it made it more exciting than going to Brazil to attend MSI this year.

After WE's entrance station was determined, the remaining three teams in Group A, Msf, TSM, and FB, also entered in an orderly manner under Ren Dong's call.

Subsequently, teams B, C, and D also entered the venue one after another.

During the intercontinental competition, everyone was angry when they went to Kaohsiung.

At that time, he expressed sadness and anger: If the Wanwan team comes, we will also come to a library.

But then I thought about it, wouldn’t it be the same as the green frogs at the Kaohsiung Exhibition Hall?
Therefore, no matter which team entered the competition, they all felt the enthusiasm from Chinese e-sports in Wuhan.

After all, it was just the opening ceremony of the group stage. The team made an appearance without any grand introduction.

The ceremony ended in less than 15 minutes.

Then five players from WE and FB entered the player stands.

Such an opening match was naturally specially arranged by the LPL.

Although 1907 Fenerbahce upset HKA and entered the group stage, their strength is undoubtedly the worst among the 16 teams, while WE is one of the favorites to win, ranking in the first echelon of S7.

The gap between the two sides is extremely obvious.

The mainstream of this version is all incense burner monsters, and there are a lot of big AD cores. If it is a team that is good at operations, even if the game is not good to watch, as long as the error rate is low, it can be postponed to the later stage.

FB and WE are almost at a power disadvantage in the line-up. Padden in the bottom lane encounters Li Jin, which is completely different in rank.

Therefore, they can only stand a chance of winning by playing with the system and dragging it forward.

But asking a Turkish team to perform delicate operations is not to rush the ducks to the shelf?

This opening game is the least suspenseful game in the entire group stage.

LPL is sitting on the home court and naturally wants to use a big win to open the door to S7.

It is worth mentioning that.

After all, FB has been playing from the finals to now. Their BP is very good and their version understanding does not seem to be far behind.

WE got Big Tree, Pig Girl, Rock Bird, Varus, and Wind Lady on the blue side.

FB selected Big Chongzi, Prince, Syndra, Xiao Pao, and Lulu.

Just looking at BP, FB seems to be capable of fighting.

The major teams are eyeing this game.

It’s not that we expect FB to win, it’s also good to explore WE’s reality.

As expected, the duo of Padden and Japone are FB's biggest breakthrough.

Just lose the line.

Padden failed to maintain a good health line due to Verus's consecutive Q, and even made a major mistake at 4 minutes and 07 seconds. When W jumped up, he was interrupted by Feng Nu.

This wave of small cannons with residual health were directly chased by Li Jin until they died, giving out first blood.

The opponent has a very superficial understanding of the army lines and basically has no detailed skills.

This caused Li Jin to control the line of troops and the prince could not find a gank opportunity.

The little cannon couldn't get the line and was snowballed.

WE showed its core ideas in the opening game.

Help!

Zhumei and Yanque grabbed the bottom lane several times, and each time they caught one, they were accurate.

However, the people at FB were so loyal that even if Nakano was a step slower, he would come to support him, and he was sent along with him.

In just 13 minutes, Li Jin's Varus cut off 8 heads, which was amazing.

The most miserable person on 1907's side is undoubtedly top laner Thaldrin. He has a good time using the big bugs and 957's big trees on the top lane.

As a result, when playing in a group.

He found that the amount of blood he had finally accumulated melted instantly when it touched Varus, while a small cannon hitting a big tree made it scrape.

In the 16th and 18th minutes, WE used Big Tree Pig Girl to take the lead and close the door with Yanque, winning consecutive team battles in the jungle.

Quickly destroy defense towers to snowball the economy.

Anyone with a discerning eye will notice that WE doesn't even bother to fight the dragon.

They had too many points to take advantage of, and they broke through the FB top lane in 20 minutes and 09 seconds.

Realizing that 1907 was using the field of view in Dalong Pit, WE did not attack the Baron and used the super soldiers all the way to break through the high ground in the middle.

22 minutes 18 seconds.

Li Jin shot Varus' ultimate move, caught Frozen's purification and failed to control Syndra, FB's only pillar, and WE and the control chain killed her instantly.

Crash starts a group.

The prince cooperated with the big insect to kill Li Jin in a whimsical way, and Feng Nu used her backhand to teach R.

The ultimate move heals blood + the incense burner heals + shield. The upper and jungle output is not enough, and the big insect bites in a hurry and the damage is still far behind. Li Jin's blood volume increases more and more, and he gets a double kill with his backhand.

WE has no ink.

Following the trend, he pushed forward even though Syndra was resurrected and could not block it.

The old FB crystal was broken, and applause broke out in Wuhan.

WE won in a crushing manner with a head ratio of 17:0. If the big bug hadn't stolen a defense tower, FB would have been defeated by Linglong Tower.

"Huh~" Xiye breathed out, "It's very relaxing."

"The main reason is that the opponent's level is poor."

"Yes."

Xiao Duan said: "They had to play a little more hastily, otherwise it would have dragged on for a few minutes."

Li Jin couldn't help but nod as he listened to their conversation.

"However, FB's BP idea is not bad either."

"We don't have much advantage in this regard. If we encounter strong teams later, it will mostly depend on our immediate performance."

"Brother Jin, it will be more difficult for TSM and Rabbitohs to fight in the future."

"I am very sure of that."

They picked up their goodies and returned backstage.

After that, the Rabbit Team in the same group defeated TSM, and the combat effectiveness of the two teams was obviously stronger than FB.

WE, who was watching the game, couldn't help but be cautious.

Neither Longzhu nor SKT were upset today and easily defeated their opponents.

The only thing that makes LPL players feel bad is.
EDG lost to the Flash Wolves in the same group.
