Chapter 383: Heroes pursue legends!
Accompanied by the elegant sound of violin, active and retired players, ordinary gamers, and professional commentators who received the invitation appeared on the big screen one by one, expressing their love for the league.
Next, the faces switched rapidly.
Finally, it stopped on Jay Chou’s face.
“No matter what language we speak, we will all leave our own legends in League of Legends!”
A powerful voice sounded.
The melody of "Hero" then started.
The camera turns out from the backstage and looks around at the audience and the phalanx of dancers on the main stage whose theme is based on the mask culture.
The first song with purely Chinese lines has been sung.
Jay Chou sat in front of the piano and played the prelude to Legends Never Die.
Miss Chrissy, wearing a 'Heroes Go Beyond' themed sweatshirt, walked to the front, and her extremely penetrating voice echoed throughout the venue.
The world is calling you...
Never give up, no matter how many challenges and cold words you encounter...
Sleeping on straw and tasting gall, overcoming all difficulties and hardships, fulfilling dreams and cutting through thorns...
When the world calls your name again, please fight for it.
I wish you could regain your heroic spirit, just because...
——The legend will never die!
When the singing reached its climax, an ancient dragon created by AR could be seen on the screen soaring in the sky, circling along the audience seats, and landing on the main stage.
It raised its head and flapped its wings, letting out a low and majestic roar.
"Wow--"
"So damn handsome!"
"Fuck!"
“I would call it the strongest opening yet.”
“Is this dragon real or fake?”
"Special effects?"
"Really, on the spot, my mount came to pick me up."
"Gather, gather, an ancient dragon wave."
“…”
The atmosphere of the barrage reached its peak with the appearance of this ancient dragon .
Just at this moment.
The ancient dragon rose into the air again, flapped its wings, and disappeared into the sky.
Members of EDG and SKT walked past the giant Summoner's Cup in the center of the stage and stood on both sides.
"The two teams coming to the finals are EDG and SKT. Let's cheer them on—"
The host Ren Dong's voice sounded: "First, we would like to introduce the runner-up team of last year's finals. Welcome... SKT!"
"S5 Finals FMVP top laner: Marin!"
“A very strong new jungler: Peanut!”
"World Championship Mid: Faker!"
"AD-Carry: Bang!"
"Champion Support: Wolf!"
"We also welcome their substitute jungler Blank (Xiaohei) and coach KkOma!"
Every name is pronounced.
A close-up of the contestant was shown on the big screen behind.
After introducing SKT.
Ren Dong waited for a moment and spoke again: "Next, I would like to introduce to you the final winner of last year's World Finals, the defending champion... EDG!"
"S6 Finals FMVP top laner: General!"
"The legendary jungler who has been fighting in the arena for many years: Clearlove7!"
"A mid-lane player with outstanding individual abilities: Scout!"
"AD: JackeyLove, who won multiple championships with his team right after debut!"
"Grand Slam Support: Meiko!"
"Also, substitute AD: iBoy and coach Maokai... Let's give them applause and cheers!"
The scene immediately fell into a boiling sea.
The sound of the cheering sticks colliding and the shouts reached the sky and did not dissipate for a long time.
More than thirty seconds passed.
Standing next to the championship trophy, Ren Dong finally had the chance to speak:
"Heroes aspire to be legends."
"The 2017 League of Legends World Championship begins now—"
The contestants took their seats.
In the center of the screen, the pre-recorded dialogue segment is played first.
The first to appear was SKT.
The first player to read out the line was KkOma, a veteran coach: "I think they have an invisible mysterious power. Even if they lose the game temporarily, they can still turn the tables because they are SKT."
Next is MaRin: "This is my second championship match in the World Championship. It is also the most important match in my life. I will try my best to win this match."
The screen shows the manager: "SKT is a very strong team. To defeat them, we must do better."
…
The contestants came down one by one.
After the SKT team took a group photo, Faker stood sideways in the center of the camera and said, "I don't think EDG is invincible. I have to ask myself how I can play better."
"Although we lost to EDG before, I am confident that we will not be runner-up again this time."
The camera turns.
Xing Dao smiled and looked directly at the camera: "Professional players from all regions regard Faker as a legend. Yes, Faker is indeed a legend."
“But the legend must come to an end.”
"The winner of the trophy is none other than EDG!"
The words fell.
The big screen showed close-ups of the reliefs of Baron Nashor and the Ancient Dragon, and the Summoner's Trophy with "2017-WORLD-CHAMPIONSHIP" printed on it appeared in the center with a very impactful special effect.
"Hello, everyone at the scene and in front of the screen!"
"Welcome to the 2017 League of Legends World Championship, the Grand Championship!"
"I'm a doll!"
"I'm Miller!"
"I'm Ze Yuan!"
The very popular 'Haier Brothers' group and last year's best new commentator Ze Yuan appeared at the same time.
"The dispute between SKT and EDG can be traced back to the 2015 mid-season tournament. In that match, EDG defeated SKT for the first time with a score of 3-2 and won the MSI championship."
"In the group stage of the same year, the two sides had a record of one win and one loss, but EDG did not advance in the end."
"Then there was last year's World Finals, where General emerged and helped EDG to come back in an incredible way, winning all the way from the second group match to the final."
Wawa had prepared the information early: "This year, the two teams will once again face off on the finals stage!"
"That's right." Miller took over: "And the top laners won the FMVP in the S5 season and the FMVP in the S6 season respectively. We all know that it is not easy for the top laner to win the MVP honor. Marin and General were both well-deserved ceiling-level players in that season."
"There are also the factory manager and Peanut." Ze Yuan added: "The showdown between fans and idols is also a key highlight."
"I think the factory manager will definitely be on guard." Miller said with a smile.
If the factory manager fails to save his face.
It's definitely not appropriate to say that.
But the factory manager eventually won the game, and also suppressed Peanut in the subsequent fights, so there is nothing wrong with using him to tease him.
"Okay, the BP of both sides has started, let's see how to handle it."
Wawa got to the point: "EDG had good luck in the coin toss and once again got the priority to choose the side. They came to the blue side and the first one to be banned was Sejuani!"
This World Finals.
Xiaohuasheng has used three heroes in total.
They are Pig Girl, Gragas, and Prince.
As for the reason...
Very simple.
SKT is stronger in other positions, making it difficult for opponents to restrict the jungle position.
but.
EDG is not afraid of many heroes and can target the jungler without restraint.
After the skateboard shoes were disabled, a prince was pressed again!
