As long as the wages are in place, all champions will be crushed to pieces

Chapter 124 Opening Ceremony, the legend will never die!

"Don't you have to go to school? Do you have so much time to come and watch the game?"

Li Feifan answered the phone while taking out his brand new team uniform from the suitcase.

"Don't you know that the most indispensable thing for contemporary college students is time?" Su Mengqing smiled, "Besides... are you living in a state of confusion? It's the National Day holiday!"

"Oh oh oh." Li Feifan finally reacted.

When I was still in school, I was very sensitive to time. I could basically count on my fingers how long it was before the weekend, and how long it was until the next legal holiday.

But since leaving school.

Whether you are playing with someone or being a professional player, you are relatively free in your schedule, so your concept of time becomes blurry, and you don’t pay attention to holidays deliberately.

After all, for professional players, it can be simply understood that they are on vacation every day.

"Then do you want me to help you get the tickets?"

"No, I bought it a long time ago, from the group stage all the way to the finals!"

"Is this the banknote ability?"

Li Feifan couldn't help but sigh, "Do you believe me so much? What if we are eliminated in the quarter-finals or semi-finals?"

"It's okay! I will snatch Mengmeng's ticket away then, and you can go to the Bird's Nest with me to watch the game. Besides, I, as a fan, have full confidence in you, but you, as an idol, don't have enough confidence. It's a bit too shocking. Come on! You must reach the finals for me!!"

"Hahahahaha." Li Feifan laughed a few times, "Okay, please give me your kind words. I'm going to leave for the scene. I'll hang up first."

"Okay, perform well in the opening game and I will cheer you on!"

The two of them hung up the phone. Since the last time they met offline, Li Feifan could feel that the little rich woman had changed a little bit.

The most obvious thing is that for such small things, just sending a text on WeChat is enough, but she seems to have to make a phone call.

"Yo yo yo, Lao Li, judging from the obscene expression on your smile, I have every reason to doubt whether your kid is in love??"

Yu Wenbo started teasing while wiping his wet hair with a towel.

The hotel arranged by the organizer only had double rooms, so Yu Wenbo took the initiative to choose to stay in the same room as Li Feifan. As for why he could also stay?
This kid was also recruited by Teng Jing to be a member of the sparring team.

"Gungungun, children, please don't pry into adult matters." Li Feifan waved his hand indifferently.

Yu Wenbo rolled his eyes, "Aren't you only 17 years old? You're only half a year older than my buddy."

"You are one day older, one hour older, one minute older, and you still have to call me brother."

Although Yu Wenbo is not even an emergency substitute, IG values ​​him very much and will take him with him on various occasions, large and small. This can be seen from the contract he signed.

Li Feifan had also heard that IG recruited Yu Wenbo in order to defeat EDG and other clubs, and offered him a million-dollar contract.

What is this concept?
Nowadays, the annual salary of ordinary players in China is about 10-30W. This is an ordinary first-line main player. For a slightly more famous player, it may be higher and can reach 50W? ?
Those who can make millions are top domestic players.

For example, it seems that Gao Dewei's annual salary in LGD was 500 million. The factory director does not know the details, but the probability is similar.

As for tens of millions? ?
That is the price of top Korean players, such as imp who just came to LPL, and Ma Datou who just came to LGD last year.

Isn't the reason why Ma Datou left LGD this year because he wanted to cut his salary but he didn't agree?
Yu Wenbo, a young man who has never played in a professional game, IG gave him a million-dollar contract, which shows how much they expect from Yu Wenbo.

of course.

Yu Wenbo did not disappoint IG's management and fans. At the NEST at the beginning of this year, he led IG to a massive victory. The changes he brought to IG were almost the same as Li Feifan's, making the team as a whole stronger visible to the naked eye.

Had it not been for the exposure of his age, Li Feifan would not have come to IG.

Unlike Li Feifan, who needs to wear team uniforms, Yu Wenbo doesn't have to appear on the court, so he can just wear casual clothes.

The two of them came downstairs. Prince Ning and others were already waiting here, and everyone boarded the official bus directly.

Even at the end of September, the temperature in Wuhan at noon was still a bit hot, but fortunately it was still within an acceptable range.

The closer the bus got to the game, the denser the crowds on the road became.

After all, Wuhan is the city with the largest number of college students in the country, claiming to have 'millions of college students'. The audience of e-sports industries such as League of Legends is mainly college students, so the official has specially arranged the finals and group matches here.

College students on both sides of the road saw the Riot Games logo painted on the outside of the bus and immediately understood that it was a contestant. Li Feifan originally wanted to open the window to interact with the fans.

But he was immediately stopped by Su Xiaoluo.

"Are you not aware of your current popularity? There are so many people here. What if an accident happens if the fans know you are in the car?" Su Xiaoluo educated him angrily.

"Too."

The main reason is that there are too many people, and young people themselves are more easily excited. If they all gather, it is only one thing that affects the driver's driving. The main reason is that they are afraid of a stampede.

Su Xiaoluo also quickly urged the driver to drive forward. Once such an empty road is surrounded by fans, it will be a disaster.

After finally driving into the parking lot of the venue, all IG members packed their luggage and left the bus. The noise around them immediately increased by eight degrees!
"Fuck! IG is here!!"

"Brother Feifan, come on! Fuck SKT to death!"

"Old Song! Old Song! Let's show the brothers another solo kill faker!"

"Come on IG! Come on LPL!! Win that damn championship!!"

"It's okay to get a good start, but don't let the brothers down!"

The fans who wait here specially just to have a short close contact with the players are the kind of fanatical fans. They are very excited and cheer the hardest.

Li Feifan was surrounded by fans. He immediately smiled and waved his hands, "It's very hot today. Let's try to end the battle as soon as possible and let the brothers go back and turn on the air conditioner, okay?"

Immediately, a fan added, "The purpose of IG! Never work overtime!!"

It immediately caused roars of laughter from the fans at the scene. IG's main focus in the competition was that it was not sloppy and would end the battle quickly if it had an advantage. Therefore, fans nicknamed it 'IG never works overtime' to describe IG's fast pace of competition.

Other teams continued to come from behind, and the IG players did not stay at the door for too long before waving to the fans and striding into the backstage passage of the venue.

After finding your own lounge, the next step is to put on makeup and wait to go on stage.

Everything is in order. In fact, it is similar to the process of the summer finals, except that there are more participating teams today.

When putting on makeup, Li Feifan did not forget to look around. The most obvious feeling was...

There seemed to be more areas for interviews.

Think about it too...

League of Legends is the vane and banner of the current e-sports industry, with unprecedented attention worldwide! !
I won’t mention the five major leagues, let’s talk about the wild card division.

Last year, INTZ defeated EDG as a wild card, which greatly increased the popularity of League of Legends in Brazil. During this year's MSI mid-season, the number of people online at the same time in the Brazilian game exceeded one million!

Not only in Brazil, Southeast Asia, and Central Asia, it can be said that wherever there are people, the popularity of League of Legends will bloom more and more around the world!
This prosperous age of heat is as good as the fist wishes.

And that's exactly what it is...

If the popularity is high, then naturally more media will flock to it and want a piece of the pie.

There is media for almost every language.

"Guigui, it's so lively!" Prince Ning also looked surprised.

"What? Are you nervous? Are your hands still shaking?" Li Feifan couldn't help but tease.

"Go, go, let's see if our brothers can fuck them later!" Prince Ning looked very arrogant. With a character like his that was extremely confident and even somewhat arrogant, he really wouldn't be timid just because it was a big scene.

Prince Ning's character is very typical of the Dongbai brothers. He takes life and death lightly and will just quit if he doesn't accept it.

After the opening ceremony, it will go directly to the first match day, which will be the same as before, with 6 BO1 duels.

As the No. [-] seed of the LPL, IG naturally needs to represent the LPL in the opening game, and their chosen opponent is the recognized weak persimmon in Group A, EDG's son team AHQ.

Suddenly, a huge sound could be clearly heard backstage from the auditorium in front. It was obvious that the opening ceremony had officially begun!

"Hello to all the viewers at the scene and in the live broadcast room!!"

As soon as I heard this voice, I knew it was the 'Grasp of Immortality'. He is basically the official host now.

Ren Dong was wearing a decent suit and still had white hair, full of energy, "After the fierce fighting in the qualifying round, eight teams were eliminated, and then came the more intense competition in the main stage, and the ten teams in the group stage Six teams will compete in a desperate showdown for the last eight promotion spots!"

"First of all! Let us invite the SKT team, the 2016 global finals champions, to return the championship trophy!!"

Five SKT players held up the heavy championship trophy, Faker and Bang were on the left and right, and the other three people stood at the back. A group of five people held the trophy and placed it on the booth directly in front of the stage.

As SKT players appeared on the stage, the fans at the scene burst into cheers and applause!

With Lee Sang Hyuk, SKT can enjoy home court treatment regardless of any country or region around the world!
It can be seen from this.

"Next! We invite other teams to come on stage. First of all, the No. [-] seed in our LPL division, the IG team in Group A!!" Ren Dong raised his left hand in the air, dragging a long tail!
Song Yijin, the team spirit of IG, walked at the forefront of the team, followed by Li Feifan. All IG members waved to the audience with smiles on their faces.

It also caused a burst of cheers and applause from the audience. This formation was no less than that of the SKT team that appeared before. After all, it is the home court of the LPL division!
Following closely behind is the Dragon Ball team that ranks first in Group B. The most famous players in the Dragon Ball lineup are Xuan Ming and Xuan Ming in the bottom lane. As for the other three players in the top, middle and jungle, although Khan has played in the LPL, that was in this time. In the LSPL, the top league, no one even remembers him.

BDD and Cuzz in the middle and jungle are pure newcomers, but the LPL audience still gave them enthusiastic applause.

Players from G2 also appeared, and finally it was Flash Wolves from Group D.

It can be seen that the members of Flash Wolf are a little worried...

Can you not feel uneasy?
During the intercontinental competition in early July, the crowd of spectators taught the LPL teams a good lesson, causing the venue to become silent and turn into a library.

Now it's the LPL audience's turn to take revenge! !
Most Chinese people adhere to the principle that if you respect me a foot, I will respect you a foot, but if you play disgusting things with me, then don't blame me for retribution!

The originally lively scene suddenly became extremely quiet, without even a few sparse applause.

Everyone in the LPL official live broadcast room was cheering loudly!
【Okay, okay!The brothers at the scene did a great job!These 4Vs should be severely humiliated! 】【Brother, there will be AHQ later. Don't mess up the formation. Let this group of 4Vs also experience the feeling of the intercontinental competition at that time. 】

【It’s cool!Are there any brothers who go to the underworld forum to carry some of Frog’s funny comments to make them happy? 】

[Hehe, with the 4V urine quality, he is probably just incompetent and furious. 】

The members of the Flash Wolves looked very embarrassed on the stage. This was a live broadcast for the whole world, and their mentality would definitely be affected by such treatment.

But can they complain?

After the intercontinental competition ended, they knew something like this would happen.

With the subsequent teams coming on stage, the lively scene returned to the scene, as if the 'library' had never appeared before.

Even teams like GAM and Fenerbahce enjoy home court treatment, which really makes the players of these teams feel a little flattered.

After the entrance ceremony.

Ren Dong opened the microphone again, "All 16 teams have assembled. Within a month, they will fight fiercely until they compete for the final championship!"

"Next, let us hand over the stage to the players and look forward to them putting on a wonderful showdown!"

Sixteen teams returned to the backstage one after another, while the members of IG and AHQ once again came to the edge of the stage to prepare for the opening game!

what is interesting……

The remaining fourteen teams, in addition to a few other teams that will also compete in the follow-up, those teams that did not compete on the first day also chose to stay and watch the game.

After all, IG is the No. [-] seed in the LPL division, so IG's tactical play and game understanding are worth learning from and for other teams.

Although fans in the region will laugh at themselves as the "old fourth region", other regions will not really regard the LPL teams as their bad younger brothers.

There is another reason.

There was no way to train even after returning to the hotel. During this period, many foreign players complained about the poor environment at the top of the canyon.

First, let’s not talk about how disgusting the various actors and crew are.

Secondly, there is an overabundance of unique skills players, who choose heroes without looking at the version, so the effect of ranking by professional players is minimal.

It is better to stay at the game and see how other teams understand the current version of the game.

The live scene has switched to the commentary box.

In such a grand scene of the opening game, it is natural that the 'Haier Brothers' will be in the commentary box.

Miller seemed a little excited, "This game is not only the first game of our LPL region's first world championship, but also our first game as the host. I hope the boys from IG can continue their efforts and get a good start! Let’s play with the other two teams and get good luck!”

Wawa smiled and said, "That's necessary. To be fair, there is a gap between AHQ's overall strength and IG's. The intensity is not particularly high. It can just warm up IG's hand. After all, IG has not played a game for more than a month. Need to find some form.”

If it were Flash Wolf, the two of them might be a little panicked. The BO1 Flash Wolf does have two brushes.

But AHQ?

That is to say, the other teams in the LMS are really too weak, otherwise AHQ, which has been idle, will never be able to appear on the stage of the World Championship.

As usual.

The director will release the performance of the two teams in their respective league playoffs before BP.

can only say……

IG is crushing them in all directions, and the two sides are not opponents of the same level at all.

As the final adjustments of the players from both sides were completed, the competition soon began!

"BP has begun!" Miller shouted excitedly, "IG will be on the blue side in this game, AHQ will be on the red side, and IG will choose to ban Galio as soon as it comes up!"

AHQ's mid laner is still Ximen Ye, who said that the fishman he is best at has no room to play in the current version. An assassin like you can't do as much damage in a burst as other people's incense burner monsters can, so why are you playing? ? ?
Naturally, there is no need to specifically target him. Banning Galio means not giving him the chance to stay in lane.

"AHQ backhandedly banned Kalista. This hero will most likely become a fixed ban position for the red side."

In the finals, there were teams that refused to ban Kalista. As a result, a total of 5 games were played. The team that got Kalista won four games. The only one they lost was that the strength gap between the two sides was too big. Nothing to do.

And the first pentakill in this World Championship was also obtained with Kalista.

"This hero can protect and assist very well. The soft assist's incense burner should be a common routine in this version."

In the qualifying stage of the competition, everyone basically recognized that the bottom lane must have an incense burner...

The team that doesn't leave the incense burner also loses.

"IG banned Luo again. This is obviously to dismantle Xia Luo's system."

In the current version, the Xialuo combination is the only T0 combination in the bottom lane. It is estimated that only skateboard shoes can compete with it, but you can't get skateboard shoes, so the bottom lane is the only T0 combination in the bottom lane.

The reason why this combination is great is that even if these two heroes are not combined together, they are still T1 choices in their respective positions.

In the auxiliary position, the only one with priority who can stabilize Luo's head is Feng Nu, and Lulu cannot stabilize Luo.

Because Feng Nu has Q and a big move that can limit her entry into the field and has a great restraint effect on Luo, there is no way anyone would choose a Feng Nu to hang at the back of the team and still be able to be hit by Luo, right?

Lulu was different. Lulu was at risk of being forced away by Luo and then killed instantly.

therefore.

In addition to the bottom lane combination, Feng Nu has the highest priority, followed by Lulu and Luo Pingping, and then other incense burner monster supports.

"AHQ chose to ban Zac. It seems that they know Prince Ning."

"IG's last move was to Shen, while AHQ banned Snake Girl."

Not much to say.

IG directly went for Feng Nu. The importance of Feng Nu to the team as a whole is self-evident, and in the later stage, a shield brings a higher panel attack power bonus to the ADC than a storm sword. Outrageous.

Unless it can be exchanged for Xia Luo, Feng Nu must not be given to the opponent.

AHQ also made quick choices, locking down small cannons and wine barrels. Wine barrels are still one of the best choices for the jungle position.

As for Xiaopao...

It feels a bit like T0.5 in the bottom lane.

Mainly, this hero has excellent laning ability, and his carry ability in team battles in the mid-to-late stage is also outstanding. In the later stage, his shooting range is longer than that of the policewoman. The long shooting range combined with the assistance of the incense burner monster can give the cannon an excellent weapon. Output environment!

"Look at IG's subsequent choices. According to the current version of BP's thinking, the first three moves are basically bottom lane and jungle." Miller said.

Because the priority of the bottom lane is too high, the whole team has to develop various lineup structures and tactical arrangements around the bottom lane, so the mid and top players have to make concessions for the bottom lane. The jungle position is chosen because this version of the jungle is easy to use. There are not many heroes.

Pig Girl, Wine Barrel, and Prince are gone.

Once you don't pick in the first round, it's easy to not get a useful jungler in the second round, causing the team to suffer losses in overall rhythm.

As for the middle lane and the top lane.

They are all tools anyway, and there are many heroes who can replace them, so it doesn’t matter if you ban them or not, you can’t ban them all anyway.

The final answer given by IG is.

Policewoman + prince, and AHQ’s selection was also very quick, and they directly locked in Lulu!
The two sides entered the second round of BP, and AHQ chose to ban Jayce and Lucian, two powerful characters in the line.

IG, on the other hand, banned Syndra and Ryze, not giving you a chance to mix with AHQ.

Thus.

AHQ could only take out the mid laner of the aircraft, but IG immediately backhandedly selected the mid-to-top choice of Yanque + Gnar!

AHQ could only choose the big bug in the end.

Thus.

The lineups of the two sides have also been officially determined.

IG is on the blue side and AHQ is on the red side.

Top Road: Gnar VS Big Bug.

Jungler: Prince VS Wine Barrel.

Middle Road: Rock Sparrow VS Aircraft.

Bottom lane: Policewoman + Feng Nu VS Xiao Pao + Lulu!

"IG's lineup is a standard female police speed push system. The strong midfield combination of Yanque + Prince can create a good tower pushing environment for the bottom lane in the early stage, while Gnar on the top lane is a snake oil, and in the mid-to-late game, it can be used on the side lanes. It can also create a certain amount of pressure, and big bugs are not that easy to deal with Gnar.”

When Gnar fights against such a bulky tank hero, as long as he makes a big ice hammer, he basically plays with the opponent's state.

"AHQ has nothing to say. Their lineup is a very typical EDG lineup. The three brothers Ueno Suke serve as tool men to support the middle and lower double Cs."

"The winning point for both sides in this game is actually the bottom lane. Look at Mortal's debut in the World Championship! What kind of surprises will it bring us!"

"After all! He is our FMVP in the summer split, and he is also an indispensable and absolute core of IG. He is also the developer of the Xianglu style. Let's see how he can perform under the Xianglu system!"

　Phew...the excessive plot is finally finished.

　　Later, the number of words that will be updated every day when writing competition content will increase.
