Chapter 652 S11! A New Pig-Dog War! Little Tiger, please don't be a filial son!

Chapter 652 S11! A New Pig-Dog War! Little Tiger, please don't be a filial son!
At this moment, even Wang Yao almost lost his composure and could only force himself to ignore it, continuing, "In short, thank you all again for your support."

After speaking, he bowed and calmly left the stage.

Return to your seat.

Saint Gun Bro, Jiejie, Ah Shui and others around him all cast burning gazes at him.

"What do you want to do?"

Wang Yao felt a little uneasy under their gaze.

"Brother Yao, can I touch your trophy?"

Ah Shui licked her lips, her face full of anticipation.

Beside him, Flandre and the others also looked interested.

"..."

Wang Yao's lips twitched, his face completely speechless.

But speaking of it.

This year's little golden statuette looks much more exquisite than the trophies of previous years, even the S-series FMVP trophy this year.

Clearly, the authorities attach great importance to this grand event.

Wang Yao won two MVP awards and took home the annual grand prize.

The 2020 LPL Annual Ceremony has come to an end.

However, it's worth mentioning that it was a truly grand event.

In the end, it turned into the 'EDG Awards Ceremony'.

It's fair to say that EDG swept almost all the major awards!
People from other clubs basically just came to participate without winning anything.

After the awards ceremony, the members of each team returned to their respective bases and began their intensive training.

Because, January 12th, just one week from now, is the start date of the S11 Spring Split!

Yes, this long holiday has finally come to an end!
The tension that had been building in the hearts of all the contestants was once again tightened.

Coaches and analysts took turns analyzing the tactics and lineups for the new season.

The players are also adapting to the huge changes brought about by the new version.

Over the next week.

All teams are training intensely to adapt to the new version.

Online, the award ceremony video for the annual gala first went viral.

It wasn't that everyone was particularly interested in the ceremony; it was mainly because the shouts from the audience during Wang Yao's speech were so impactful.

Then, after the official schedule for the Spring Split was announced, the entire internet exploded!
A new topic has suddenly been pushed to the top!

EDG's first match of the Spring Split will be against RNG!!!

Yes, that's right.

The opening match of the S11 Spring Festival Tournament is EDG vs. RNG!

In an instant, the topic became incredibly popular!

For many years, Uzi and Clearlove, the main protagonists of the "Pig vs. Dog" war, have retired one after another. Since S8, RNG has no longer been a strong team in the eyes of LPL.

After restructuring the roster this year, Xiaohu moved to the top lane, and apart from Xiaoming, all other positions were filled by new players. Everyone is looking forward to the transformation of this new RNG.

Of course, most of the people doing it were just having fun and making a fuss.

After all, everyone wants to see what kind of sparks will fly between the two players who have switched to the top lane.

In short, this was undoubtedly a frenzy of online traffic.

Xiaohu, who switched from mid lane to top lane, and Wang Yao, a four-time champion who switched from AD, mid lane, jungle, and support to top lane, have a matchup that has attracted a huge amount of attention.

A winning hand right from the start!

Fans of both sides are eagerly anticipating the event.

Let's fight it out.

The post titled "Spring Split Schedule Preview" was flooded with comments.

"Pretty!"

"Big stuff right off the bat, great, great, LPL operations are really good, I like it!"

I would call it the new e-sports Spring Festival Gala!

"Waiting for Xiaohu to continue taking care of Yao Ge on the road, hahaha!"

"Those who know, know. When Xiao Hu meets Yao Ge, he's like a son meeting his father, always dutifully serving him."

"Fight, fight!"

At first, everyone was very excited and discussed wildly whether Xiao Hu would fulfill his filial duty to Wang Yao.

……

It was during this discussion that...

As the days go by, the much-anticipated January 12th is finally approaching!
This time, the opening ceremony of S11 was officially held in Shanghai, the home stadium of world champion EDG.

And the venue is none other than the Oriental Sports Center, which once hosted the S7 semi-finals!
Amidst the revelry of countless people, coupled with the esports extravaganza of RNG vs. EDG, the atmosphere was electric.

The final result was...

This mere Spring Split regular season has become so difficult to get tickets for!
"Wow, is this the power of RNG against EDG?"

Many viewers were completely stunned by the skyrocketing ticket prices.

This is even harder to get than tickets for the World Championship back then!

While it might not be as close as the finals in Shanghai, it's comparable to the semifinals, right?

all in all.

The hype that had built up over the entire off-season since the S10 finals seems to have finally exploded at this moment!
at noon.

All 17 teams in the LPL have arrived at the competition venue to prepare.

Makeup and rehearsals are both essential.

Wait until 3:30 PM.

The venue opened early, and countless spectators rushed in!

The entire Oriental Sports Center became noisy!
This time, at least half of the items at the event belonged to EDG!

Black and white flags and banners fluttered in the air, a sight that even RNG could not match!
With four consecutive championships in hand, he is shrouded in gold.

It was exactly four o'clock.

Numerous live streaming channels opened at the same time!
The dense barrage of supportive comments almost instantly took over the screens of various live streams!

Meanwhile, at the scene...

Yu Shuang, dressed in a light blue cheongsam, walked onto the stage, waving and calling out with a professional yet sweet smile:

"Welcome everyone to the opening ceremony of the 2021 League of Legends LPL Spring Split!"

"I'm the host, Yu Shuang!"

"Oh oh oh oh!!!"

Immediately, an incredibly enthusiastic cheer erupted from the crowd!

"In 2020, as the home venue, LPL made the whole world feel the passion of LPL fans."

"At the same time, it has also enabled the entire LPL to make progress and grow."

"But now, 2020 has passed, and a new journey is about to begin!"

As she spoke, Yu Shuang smiled and pointed behind her:
"Of course, we've also prepared some surprises for everyone in this opening match, so please look forward to it."

Behind the stage.

Two large red curtains were being drawn together, obscuring the view inside.

The noise at the scene gradually subsided.

Come on! Let's count down together!

"10!"

"9!"

"8!"

"..."

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

bang——

As smoke filled both sides.

The red curtain was suddenly lifted!

A Summoner's Trophy, symbolizing the highest honor, stands quietly on the stage!

boom!
The moment this S-crown trophy was revealed was like a bomb being thrown into the water.

The whole scene exploded!

"LPL! LPL!"

"EDG! EDG!!"

Countless spectators felt their adrenaline surge and shouted from their seats!

"Yes!"

"At the recently concluded S10 World Championship, EDG team brought home the fourth Summoner's Cup for the LPL!"

On one side of the stage, Ren Dong, dressed in a blue suit, appeared with a microphone in hand and proclaimed loudly: "Four years to the top, creating a legend!"

"Now, we can proudly say that we are the number one region! The number one region without any controversy!"

"And now, a new journey for the LPL is about to begin!"

"We will continue our glory and create new miracles!"

"Let's welcome the representatives from the 17 LPL teams to the stage!"

As the words fell.

On both sides of the stage, members representing their respective teams walked onto the stage.

EDG's former captain Clearlove, IG's TheShy, JD Gaming's Yagao, Li-Ning's Scout, FPX's Doinb, SN's Bin, Top Esports' Knight, RNG's Xiaohu...

Everyone was radiant.

Wearing brand-new team uniforms, they stood on either side of the stage!
They represent the entire LPL!

The competition for S11 will be led by these people!

“Wuhu!!!”

In an instant, fans of all the teams began to cheer and shout.

"Let's once again welcome the representatives of the 17 teams with the warmest applause!"

Ren Dong, equally excited, shouted, "I hereby declare! The 2021 League of Legends LPL Spring Split officially begins!!!"

bang——

The lights in the entire venue gradually dimmed. Suddenly, the large screen on the main stage lit up.

A melodious and gentle background music resounded throughout the entire venue.

on the screen.

Xiao Hu was the first to appear, slowly walking down the corridor, his eyes shifting from confusion to determination.

A voice-over also followed:

"Seven years have passed, and people have asked me why I still persist... What does competition and championship mean to me? Perhaps, that is all I pursue."

The camera turned.

Beneath the building at night.

The factory manager looked up at the sky, his gaze distant.
"I have heard the most enthusiastic cheers in the world and seen the most beautiful scenery. For these, even if I retire, I am still willing to give everything behind the scenes."

Early morning, by the lake in the park.

Doinb opened his arms, closed his eyes, and embraced the sunlight: "I hope we can reach the final destination, no matter what the process is like..."

The screen turns again.

With his left hand clasped to his chest, he declared: "We will become the new force of the LPL, taking up the banner and carrying the glory of the region!"

Standing on the banks of the Huangpu River, Ah Bin's hair fluttered in the breeze: "Becoming the cornerstone of the team's victory is my pursuit."

On the Yangtze River Bridge.

The toothpaste tube gazes at the camera: "We chase legends because, to become a legend, you must constantly break through your limits to reach the summit!"

Suddenly.

A clock appears on the screen.

The tempo of the background music started to increase.

The hands of the clock are constantly accelerating and spinning!

The faces of the contestants flashed across the screen!

Skyscrapers, mountains and rivers, all were traversed at breakneck speed!

Finally, the climax has arrived!
The clock pointed to 12 o'clock, the screen shattered, revealing the Shanghai below!

The background music suddenly stopped at this point!

on the stage.

The championship trophy, symbolizing the LPL Spring Split, has replaced the original S-series championship trophy.

Wang Yao, dressed in all black, had his hands in his pockets and his back to the camera.

The ID 'Kshine' printed on the back of the team jerseys caught everyone's attention, and the four shining stars were even more dazzling.

"I have been lonely for too long on the highest throne."

Suddenly, Wang Yao turned around and slowly sat down on a throne, a gleaming light seemingly rising from the depths of his pupils!

He extended his hand forward, as if in invitation.

"Come—defeat me!"

boom--

The screen then went dark.

The promotional video for the opening ceremony has now ended!

Inside the venue, the lights began to come on one by one, allowing the audience to adjust to the light.

After a brief silence, the entire scene suddenly erupted!

Countless fans immediately started shouting wildly, their faces flushed!

"Kshine!!!"

"Yao-ge! He's so handsome!!"

"Brother Yao! Invincible!!!"

Do you even understand the value of four World Championship Finals MVP awards?

"What do you mean by status? This is status!!"

"Wuhu! LPL representative player, Yao Ge!"

On the throne, await the challenge from the entire LPL!
This villainous image perfectly hit the mark with fans!

Instantly, the atmosphere at the scene was brought to its peak!
The chat rooms across all the live streams were flooded with comments at this moment!
"Okay! Welcome back!"

"This is the venue for the opening match of the 2021 League of Legends LPL Spring Split, Shanghai - Oriental Sports Center!"

"Hello everyone, I'm commentator Miller!"

"Hello everyone, I am Doll!"

"It's a great honor to be here at the LPL Spring Split opening match!"

The camera then shifts to the commentary booth, where Miller and Wawa, the golden duo, are speaking excitedly.

For such an important match as the opening game, the organizers will naturally invite heavyweight commentators to oversee the event.

"Wow……"

As soon as she came up, the doll let out her signature exclamation:
"To be honest, of all the LPL seasons I've commentated on, this is the most enthusiastic one ever, bar none!"

"Yes."

Miller smiled and nodded, saying, "After all, we just won the championship, so everyone is definitely very enthusiastic."

"Moreover, Yao has switched to the top lane this year, marking his fourth time in a new position as he strives for his fifth career championship!"

"Once this achievement is accomplished, Kshine will be the first person in the history of League of Legends to achieve this, a feat that will never be repeated."

Miller added, "New viewers might not know this yet, but Riot Games has awarded Kshine the FMVP award four times in a row."

"Just this one point alone makes it very difficult for other contestants to achieve!"

If we say that Wang Yao won over all the viewers and judges with his undeniable performance in S7, S8 and S9, then...

However, in S10, despite Scout and JackeyLove both playing crucial roles in the team, Riot Games still awarded the FMVP to Wang Yao.

The intention is quite clear: to help Wang Yao become the undisputed number one player in League of Legends!
"So, before watching the game."

The doll picked up the small card in her hand: "First of all, thank you Mercedes-Benz and... for your great support!"

After reading it all in one breath, Wawa took a deep breath and said with a helpless smile, "To be honest, I can already feel the booming development of our LPL from these sponsors' advertisements."

Since the end of S10.

EDG's fourth championship win has attracted major investors who see the potential of esports, with LPL receiving twice as much sponsorship as last year.

While some investors may not be able to form their own teams, they can easily secure sponsorships.

Otherwise, why would the LPL officials put so much effort into promoting the league's esports events?

Of course, it's because they can earn more!

People can actually understand those advertisements for computers, processors, mice, keyboards, and other peripherals.

But why are Mercedes-Benz and Grain Plus brands all here?!

"Yes, LPL is indeed booming now, and I believe everyone can feel it."

Seeing the audience's excited reaction, the two commentators on stage immediately moved on to the next topic.

"In conclusion, let's refocus our attention on today's match: EDG vs. RNG!"

Doll looked at the small card in her hand: "As we all know, it's already version 11.1, and our Summoner's Rift has undergone a major overhaul."

"I believe many Summoners, like me, are still not very familiar with the gameplay of the new version, as well as the new hero, Blade of the Ruined King."

"That's perfect, we can learn from two top LPL teams how to play in this version."

At this time.

Miller looked up at the big screen: "Okay, the starting lineups for both teams are confirmed!"

on the screen.

The starting five players for both EDG and RNG have been listed.

RNG: Xiaohu, Wei, Cryin, Gala, Ming
EDG: Kshine, Jiejie, Rookie, Jackylove, Meiko
Wawa said, "As you can see, we will be welcoming a new player from EDG today!"

Miller smiled broadly: "This is the mid-laner who fought three games against EDG in Incheon. He has a wealth of experience in the LPL and can be considered a true veteran."

"That's right, it's Rookie!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the many IG fans below cheered. IG was completely ruined, but they saw new hope with EDG.

"Rookie transferred to EDG this year. Let's look forward to his performance with EDG!"

As they were talking, the contestants from both sides entered the arena and began to adjust their equipment.

"As an important opening match, both teams have something to say to each other before the game starts. Let's all watch!"

As the narrator finished speaking.

on the big screen.

Ah Shui and Wang Yao appeared on camera.

Right from the start, Wang Yao faced a pointed question from the director: "Having switched from support to top lane, are you confident in your chances of winning today?"
"Let's wait and see."

Wang Yao remained quite calm.

Next up was Ah Shui, who looked ahead and said earnestly, "My teammates are all very strong. As long as we don't make any mistakes in the bottom lane, we'll definitely win!"

The camera turned.

RNG's Xiaohu and Xiaoming appeared on the screen.

"Kshine went to the top lane, and I'm really looking forward to facing him in lane."

Clearly, Xiao Hu was hesitant to make any bold statements in front of the four-time champion Kshine, fearing that a sudden reversal of his words might backfire and slap him in the face.

Xiao Ming grinned and said, "Of course I'm confident. Now the pressure is on us on the top lane."

Meanwhile, in the official live stream room.

Unexpectedly.

This time, surprisingly, there were more people supporting RNG in the live chat!

As for the reason...

"RNG! Crush EDG! Force Yao back to the AD carry position! Go RNG!"

"Little Tiger! It's time to get going, give it your all!"

"Go RNG! I'll temporarily become your fan!"

"Put on the pressure! Don't hold back, put on the pressure head-on!"

"Xiaohu, please don't be too filial. Try to let Yao-ge play in the top lane for another year."

"..."

Clearly, both RNG and EDG fans have high expectations for RNG.
