Chapter 85 Opening Ceremony, debut! Is it possible that Lee Sang Hyuk has changed his sexual orientation because he couldn't get Eun Jung's request? Ha people!
Xu Yuan fell into deep thought.
He had no idea that Lee Sang Hyuk was that abstract cow.
So I have no idea how I met each other.
Naturally, you will feel confused.
Think about it.
It's like you and your love rival made an appointment to have a solo showdown tonight in the League of Legends. As a result, your love rival said to you affectionately before going solo:
Handsome guy, competition second, friendship first.
I am super!
Who is not afraid of this? With the LCK's current level of disdain for the LPL, Lee Sang Hyuk's attitude is a bit too friendly.
"You two know each other?"
Ming Kai spoke suspiciously.
Xu Yuan immediately became serious,
"Brother, you know me."
"As a native of CN, I either train or watch videos every day. How can I have time to get to know Lee Sang Hyuk?"
"When I met him in Rank, I kept in mind that I was an EDG player. I didn't dare to interact with him even a word!"
Mingkai nodded, "Yes."
"But it's really weird... I remember the last time we played MSI with them, Lee Sang Hyuk didn't even talk to us except shaking hands."
He muttered and went down to the restaurant on the third floor with Xu Yuan.
EDG players live in rooms 401 to 403, while the coaching staff is on the second floor.
Unfortunately, Xu Yuan did not see the player he wanted to meet during this meal.
Flash Wolves’ wolf king Karsa and G2’s talented mid laner, Perkz.
Karsa needless to say.
Although he is from the LMS division, his level is surprisingly high.
It was the Flash Wolves who occasionally defeated the Korean team in the World Championships and became the main contributor to the anti-Korean Qixia.
In a Korean prisoner of war camp, he would be more or less a battalion commander.
Moreover, this player also joined the RNG team of the LPL in the future S8 and performed equally well.
Even if he later moved to TES, he is still undoubtedly the top rhythm jungler.
Powerful.
Xu Yuan is still quite curious about Karsa.
Although he has the black material of going abroad to jungle, S8RNG's dominance in the league stage is also inseparable from him.
And the other person he wanted to meet was naturally Perkz.
【Ah P】
【Those who have returned their nationality】
【Dog Betting Nightmare】
[CJB theory prover]
[The LCS division will always be awesome]
The above titles all belong to him: !
Ah P, who was born in 98, has just celebrated his 19th birthday this year, but he is already the undoubted king of Europe.
Since he entered Europe's top league in 2016, G2 has won the LCS championship three times in a row.
What is dominance? This is dominance!
Although it has something to do with the fact that another talented mid laner, Caps, who is the king of caps, has not yet completely entered his peak period, but he is now the absolute number one mid laner in Europe.
The real King of Europe.
In 2017, the original LPL champion WE was sent away by G2.
And Perkz definitely contributed a lot.
After this player joined G2 during the peak period of Caps, he directly switched to AD, and he played surprisingly well.
Career can definitely be summed up in four words: magnificent!
If North America is Doublelift's backyard, then Europe is undoubtedly Ah P's football stadium.
He can swim as a dragon however he wants!
Xu Yuan's eyes wandered around the field and he saw many familiar players.
Like Flash Wolves' mid laner, Maple Fengtang, who has two particularly obvious eye bags on his face and looks very kidney-deficient.
Assistant SwordArt Snake who talks very coolly and laughs loudly.
G2's "capable and famous" ADC, Zven.
TSM's mid laner doesn't even have a big beard, and he's a pure e-sports kid named Bjerg Bjerg.
The IDs of these people were all familiar names to him when he was lying on the bed.
This is, the World Championship! Compete with top players from different regions for the same goal: MSI championship.
The competition unfolds! There is always a strong player among the strong, and it is difficult to win the championship among this group of people.
But now that Xu Yuan is standing here, he must think about whether this is his only chance in this life.
After eating, I took a portion upstairs for other teammates.
Xu Yuan entered his room, washed up and immediately fell asleep.
He had to adjust to the jet lag.
In fact, EDG players and coaches are not the only ones who came to Brazil in the LPL.
In fact, eight other commentators also came to the scene.
They are the commentators responsible for live broadcasts.
At this moment, the commentary doll was standing awkwardly.
Time goes back to 5 minutes ago.
The commentators who also arrived were discussing what to eat and decided to go downstairs to eat.
Unexpectedly, when they got downstairs, they met the commentator sent by South Korea.
The commentator was not tall, but was surprisingly strong, and he immediately hit the doll.
"I'm sorry, are you okay?"
The doll stood up, spoke apologetically in English, and stretched out his hand to pull him up.
The Korean commentator just glanced at his outstretched hand, got up and patted the dust on himself.
He ignored him and left directly.
The doll was left alone and frozen in place.
"Who is it?"
Su Xiaoyan was quite dissatisfied.
It was obviously the Korean who bumped into him, but Renwa apologized to him, but then left without paying any attention to him!
This quality is really outrageous.
She wanted to catch up and argue, but she was held back by Miller who looked gloomy.
"Forget it, Xiaoyan."
Su Xiaoyan looked around. Many commentators from other competition areas looked over with smiles, as if watching a good show.
A few people finished their meals and sat in a corner.
Miller spoke earnestly.
"Don't worry about them, they don't think much of us."
"Why?"
Su Xiaoyan immediately asked back.
"It depends on the results."
The doll sighed.
"We couldn't even beat Europe and the United States last year. The players performed poorly on the field, and the LPL commentators didn't have the confidence to say hello to people backstage."
"Let alone if a conflict breaks out, Fist won't care about it."
Without strength, you can only get beaten.
Even the commentary is integrated with the regional honor.
The LPL's current performance in the World Championship is too poor, which directly leads to the fact that the LPL's casters are also looked down upon.
LPL is a garbage region.
The commentary of the rubbish competition area is naturally also a rubbish commentary.
That's what I mean.
Riot doesn't care about this at all.
Invisible discrimination is inevitable.
Su Xiaoyan clenched her fists, but could only helplessly let go.
"I hope EDG can win."
She said as if praying.
"Who doesn't want EDG to win? Although I support RNG in China, now that EDG has released the LPL, I must support EDG. After all, this is the honor of the division."
Miller sighed.
"But it's hard to win."
"Not to mention SKT, G2 and Flash Wolves in Europe are not weak teams."
His eyes were somewhat vacant, and he ate mechanically.
The atmosphere fell into silence for a while.
This is just a small episode.
More than a day passed in a blink of an eye, with the arrival of May 5th.
The 2017 Brazilian Mid-Season Invitational Tournament is about to usher in the opening ceremony!At this time, Xu Yuan had already followed the team to the scene.
Standing at the entrance of the stadium team, he felt refreshed and high-spirited.
The discomfort of jet lag change has completely subsided.
Even if the famous LPL adjustment master Ah Shui comes, I can only comment on him: The adjustment went well, and the brothers are very satisfied.
The scene was completely dark.
Several European and American commentators were dressed in formal attire and smiling.
The famous nakabuki commentator Maomao looked a little serious.
"Welcome to the opening ceremony. After the countdown, we will bring you the 2017 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational and group stage games!"
The blond commentator sitting at the front spoke very quickly because the countdown in the center of the venue had already started.
By the time he finished speaking, the countdown had already begun.
As the countdown reached 5, the audience began to count down in unison.
Exaggerated sound waves like ocean waves hit Xu Yuan one after another!
Although it is a group stage, the venue for the opening ceremony is not small.
In the somewhat darkened stage, there were various graffiti painted with fluorescent paint, people shouting crazily, and a united countdown.
The restless feeling that is so hot that one can't help but boil the blood permeates the entire air.
"Boom!"
As the countdown ended, a dull drum beat sounded.
Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of intensive drumming.
Xu Yuan can only say that it has local characteristics. It reminds people of Samba, but it is a bit too simple.
It doesn’t feel as good as 2016…Shanghai.
But it is a pity that RNG failed to win MSI last year.
With the end of the drumming performance.
On the four huge screens in the middle of the screen, highlights from the first MSI Mid-Season Invitational in 2015 to the second one last year began to appear.
“The first centralized invitational tournament comes to Florida!”
Along with the commentary voice at that time, Faker appeared with a deep expression at that time.
"Faker has never lost withs Lebron!"
This is how the commentators at the time praised him.
Faker's LeBron is the Enchantress.
Never lost!
But this time, he lost.
In the team battle in the Dragon Pit on the screen, Faker was caught by EDG and dropped instantly.
The passionate commentary sounded again!
"EDG is taking down Faker!"
"EDG from LPL will become the champion of the first MSI Mid-Season Invitational in 2015!"
Mingkai raised his head and stared silently at the 2015 EDG team hugging each other tightly in the picture.
He once naively thought that they really had a chance that year, after all, even SKT won.
In the end, it was still like a bubble.
Now, things have changed.
But when he turned around and saw Xu Yuan, he smiled silently.
The current EDG is also quite good.
Next, of course, is the 2016 MSI clip.
I don’t know if the punch was intentional or accidental.
Obviously the MSI champion of S6 is SKT, but before showing the picture of SKT winning the championship, it first showed a picture of RNG winning SKT in the group stage.
It's just... outrageous.
As the 2016 MSI screen came to an end, the gilded characters of 2017 appeared in the center of the screen.
“Welcome to the 2017 Mid-Season Invitational, located in Sao Paulo, Brazil!”
It starts with this sentence.
From the sky above the stadium, team flags began to slowly hang down one after another.
LPL's EDG, LCK's SKT, Europe's G2, North America's TSM, the curved FW Lightning Wolves, Vietnam's GAM...
One after another, flags with the team's logp printed on them were hung at the competition site.
And it’s not just the teams that make it to the group stage.
Even if it was the flag of the other teams eliminated in the finals, Riot put them up equally.
Xu Yuan couldn't help but give Fist a thumbs up.
Even though the balance of fists is a piece of shit, I can still handle the relationship aspect, Master Duanshui.
It was so gentle and spicy that Xu Yuan really cried to death!
Next, it is naturally the time for the players to appear.
"Just smile and wave later. Don't be nervous. Smile a little wider and walk slowly to the center of the field. Do you remember the location of the rehearsal this morning?"
Mingkai warned in a low voice, as patiently as an old father who was afraid that his silly son would run home if it rained.
Xu Yuan, the stupid son who was warned:...
"Brother, I'm not a three-year-old child."
He was a little dumbfounded.
Ming Kai didn't mind at all, "It's okay, I'm just reminding you, it's best if you remember it!"
The first one to be introduced is the G2 team from the European Division.
The core of the team, Ah P, undoubtedly stood at the front, waving his arms to greet the audience.
Xu Yuan was not far away, and you could clearly see the expression of enjoyment on his face.
Then, there is TSM from the North American Division.
The Brazilian audience is actually very enthusiastic, cheering every team when they play.
It's just that they are more enthusiastic about TSM, called North American Cult.
The reason why it is called a North American cult is because TSM is like LGD in the LPL. No matter what team comes on stage, someone will always shout their team name.
Of course, the one at the forefront is the core mid laner, Bjergsen.
Bilson, a handsome young European and American boy wearing glasses and looking young, walked down the aisle with dazzling steps.
He looked shy.
Next, of course, is GAM.
As a team in the Vietnam Division, they are definitely capable of reaching the group stage.
...although probably not much.
Some Vietnamese spectators who came to the scene also shouted excitedly.
Being able to reach the main draw is an honor in itself for the small division!
Especially in a competition region like Vietnam that has just started.
They feel that this is the most glorious time for the Vietnam Division.
But they are wrong.
At least Xu Yuan knew it very well.
There will be quite a lot of bean curd in Vietnam in the future! After GAM in Vietnam, it is naturally EDG.
"A team from the LPL, EDG!"
Following the host's introduction, Xu Yuan, who was standing at the front with Scout, took a deep breath and smiled at the camera.
Waving his hand, he walked down the player channel.
"Wow~"
Nakabuki's commentator, Maomao, couldn't help but sigh.
On the big screen, although the boy wearing the EDG uniform looked a little green, his outstanding and delicate eyebrows still made her exclaim.
One word, cute.
Not only cute, but also handsome!
Although Maomao didn't say anything, it seemed like he had said everything.
Xu Yuan walked very steadily, with steady and decent steps.
I have to say that he left a very good impression on audiences around the world.
Especially in Korea where there are so many cute dogs.
Many Korean female viewers have already started to check his ID.
Although I still support SKT, but...
When EDG doesn't play with SKT, it should be okay for us Korean female viewers to support EDG.
……Bar?
And the last one to appear is naturally SKT.
They were last year's MSI champions.
At this moment, he also appeared directly from the center of the stage, holding the championship trophy in his hand.
Lee Sang Hyuk and his teammates held the trophy and placed it on the trophy stand in the center of the stage.
Not at all muddle-headed.
"Although it will be lost for a short time, it will come back soon."
That's what he thought.
The opening ceremony ends here.
The game is about to start! (End of this chapter)
