I'm the chef in T1. The fatter Li Ge is, the stronger I am.

Chapter 160 Brothers, see you in the finals! LPL departure ceremony!

Although the highlight of the summer finals is over.

But the BO5 world championship qualification that will follow will also make the audience look forward to it.

No one expected that the TOP1 team joining LPL would bring such a huge change.

RNG, which was eliminated in the semi-finals of the summer season, actually has to rely on the points of the runner-up in the spring season to be eligible to compete with EDG for the second seed of LPL.

Being the first or second seed may not represent the actual strength of a team, but it can definitely save the team a lot of trouble in the world competition.

Compared to the TOP1 speedrun competition in the summer finals.

The BO5 between EDG and RNG started at 4 pm and ended at 10 pm.

The audience commentators at the scene shouted themselves hoarse.

Not to mention the ten players who were fully focused on playing all five games on stage.

The EDG players who successfully secured the second seed stood on the stage, their faces slightly pale, and they forced themselves to smile and bowed to express their gratitude towards the audience.

As for RNG, which lost the game, they will compete with QG team for the third seed in the region.

9 month 3 day.

4 o'clock in the afternoon.

The last global finals qualifier officially begins.

Unlike the strictly hierarchical LCK region, although the QG team is ranked in the middle and lower reaches, its overall strength is not bad. The only weakness is that it has no experience in major competitions.

RNG seized this opportunity and used tactical operations to numb all the players on the QG team.

3: 0!

The total duration of the three games does not exceed two hours.

Even though the ending was foreseeable.

But the audience still gave the warmest applause to QG.

"Please wait for a moment, summoners at the scene. The LPL 2017 World Finals seeding team departure ceremony will begin in ten minutes."

Ren Dong came to the stage and interacted with the audience while maintaining the atmosphere.

Watch the game offline.

Not only can you get close to professional players, but the officials will also frequently send various benefits to the audience.

For example, redemption codes for some rare skins and team-related gifts.

If you are lucky enough, you can even get an autographed photo or jersey of your favorite player.

And this time.

The LPL official specially invited the most popular player in the country and the one who deserves the honor of being the first: Wang Yu.

As the crew cleared the stage.

Wang Yu also walked to Ren Dong's side.

Looking at the host who suddenly reached out his hand to him, Wang Yu suddenly remembered the scene of last year's MSI, where Faker was once fooled by him, so much so that after the interview, he returned to the lounge and complained that he was too stupid.

Wang Yu, who was fully aware of the anti-gank strategy, counterattacked with a scissors move, not giving Ren Dong any chance to stack the Grasp of the Undying.

This scene was seen by all the audience and players in the live broadcast room through the big screen on site.

See this scene.

Everyone laughed out loud, but Ren Dong was not angry. He even reacted quickly and changed the 'cloth' into 'stone'. Wang Yu also changed his 'attacking' posture.

The two of them pulled each other briefly.

In the end, it was the director who reminded them through the microphone that the business was more important, and they gave up.

Otherwise, these two games alone could take quite a while to play.

"Welcome Emolove to be the host of this departure ceremony. Of course, this is only temporary, but no matter what, Emolove is now the host."

Ren Dong looked at Wang Yu with a smile, ready to help guide the topic at any time.

He has interviewed many professional players.

In general.

These young contestants who had not experienced any major storms stood on the stage, being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and could not even speak fluently.

But for Wang Yu.

Compared with last year's World Championship, the scene before us is like a chicken meeting an eagle.

"Hello~ Hello everyone! I am the temporary host of the LPL World Championship departure ceremony. You should know my name, right?"

Wang Yu walked to Ren Dong's side while facing the audience so that the camera could capture his image.

The reason why I accepted the official invitation to serve as temporary host.

The reason is also very simple.

Wang Yu has something to say to the players of the other two teams and the LPL audience.

offstage.

The audience who were originally preparing to leave turned around and sat back in their chairs after hearing Wang Yu's voice.

"Hello, hello? Can't you hear me?" Wang Yu tapped the microphone lightly a few times without feeling any feedback.

After this sentence is spoken.

The volume of barrage in the LPL official live broadcast room on all platforms quickly became active.

[Oh my god! Fortunately I didn't leave! There's an Easter egg? ]

[Hahaha! Those who didn’t watch the marching ceremony will probably regret it~]

[Still saying hey hey hey! It's as if you can see our comments! ]

[No, buddy? It's ok for a professional player like you to be able to cook, but how come you are so skilled at being a host? ]

[It’s obvious that you haven’t watched the individual player documentaries released by SKT last year. Yu Ge is young but can support the entire family. What’s wrong with being multi-talented? ]

Just during the barrage chat.

The audience also began to shout Wang Yu's name.

However, as Wang Yu stretched out his hand and made a virtual pressing gesture, the audience immediately quieted down.

aside.

Ren Dong was dumbfounded when he saw this.

He had never seen a professional player with such strong control ability?
A simple sentence and an action not only restored the atmosphere, but also made the audience extremely well-behaved.

You have to know that in the previous competitions he hosted, he couldn't maintain the live rhythm for more than a few minutes.

He ignored Ren Dong who was completely shocked.

Wang Yu spoke again: "First of all, thank you all the summoners for coming to watch the offline game."

Before he finished speaking, all the audience began to applaud.

"Everyone, please stop messing around. It makes me look like a leader in a meeting."

After making a joke, Wang Yu continued to speak at his own pace: "Then what about the departure ceremony that is about to begin? I believe everyone knows which teams' players will appear, but I will still say it again."

"Top 1 seed!"

"The second seed EDG!"

"Third seed RNG!"

"Am I right, Brother Ren?"

Wang Yu, who had been leading the pace of the scene, suddenly asked Ren Dong who was slacking off next to him.

Ren Dong thought he could relax a little, but he felt a little helpless. However, he had a happy expression on his face: "Yes, these three teams will represent our LPL region in this year's global finals."

"Ah."

Wang Yu nodded slightly and continued, "Before the departure ceremony begins, I have a few words to say to the players and coaches of the other two teams."

"Before the World Championship, we were rivals. We would study each other's flaws and weaknesses to defeat each other in the game."

"We will be teammates after the World Championship. As a player and boss of the TOP1 team, I have obtained the consent of my teammates and coaches. On behalf of the TOP1 team, I hereby announce this!"

"Until the quarterfinals, if you encounter any problems or questions, you can come to us."

"Can't find an opponent? Find us!"

“Have questions about the heroes in this version? Come to us!”

"As the No. 1 seed of LPL and as an LPL player, I have only one wish, that is..."

"Brothers, see you in the finals!" The team lounge provided by the official.

EDG here.

Abu looked at the boy standing on the stage, tears streaming down his face: "This kid has no idea how important this promise is to the LPL audience."

"The final?" Mingkai retracted his gaze and lowered his head to look at the floor, wondering what was in his mind.

RNG here.

Just finished a BO5 match.

Everyone was trying to seize the time to recover their energy, leaning on the sofa, and expressing their opinions to Wang Yu on the monitor hanging on the wall.

"This guy is too pretentious. He said we'll see you in the finals before the World Championship even started. Isn't it just the No. 1 seed in LPL? He's so pretentious!"

Xiaohu's original intention was to please Uzi.

Although his tone was somewhat disdainful, it also carried a hint of displeasure.

after all.

Being the third seed means they will have to start from the play-in round, which will expose more information to other teams.

And Uzi.

Enter Imp first and then Deft.

The experience brought back some bad memories.

But what Xiaohu didn't expect was.

Uzi was looking up at the screen, his tone extremely serious: "Do you think he is pretending? He is the No. 1 seed of LPL, the world champion FMVP, he has the qualifications to pretend, what qualifications do you have to mock him?"

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked at Xiaohu.

Xiaohu immediately put away the smile on his face and looked at Uzi with some embarrassment.

Uzi stood up from his seat, looking at his teammates who were not paying attention on the sofa, and felt a little irritated. "There is still more than half a month before the start of the World Championship. We will have a half-day off tonight and start training normally from tomorrow."

"Ah?" Lightmi, who was about to ask his girlfriend to go out and play, was stunned.

"do you have any opinion?"

"No, no."

In the TOP1 lounge.

Two ladies were sitting on the sofa.

Jin Min, I and Wang Ma stared at the big screen intently.

Wang Yu is now a big star. Neither of them can watch the game offline in a low-key manner. They can only ask the officials to open a convenient channel to bring the two of them to the lounge.

"Brother Xiaoyu is so handsome." Jin Min-wo wiped the saliva that was flowing out.

Mother Wang didn't say anything, but when she saw Wang Yu standing on the stage surrounded by lights, the smile on her face became even brighter.

"Have you all changed into your new uniforms?"

Wearing a new suit specially bought by Aofeng, kkoma was adjusting his clothes while urging the players who were hiding in a separate room nearby because of shyness.

"Right now! Inhale! Inhale again! OK! Done!"

"Ouch, it's pinching my belly. No, no, change into another one. This one is too small!"

"Damn it! You've been cheating on me all the time, and now it's so hard for me to put on clothes!"

on site.

I have said everything I wanted to say.

Wang Yu returned the microphone to Ren Dong, bowed earnestly to the audience to express his gratitude, and then hurriedly left the stage.

Just when Ren Dong was about to sigh at the meaning of Wang Yu's words, the director's progress reminder came from the earphone.

The long ten minutes for Ren Dong had actually ended long ago, and even exceeded the time!
"Thanks to Emolove for his help! So, all the viewers at the scene and in the live broadcast room, are you ready to welcome the three representative players of our LPL teams?"

"They are!"

"The third seed of LPL! R~N~G!"

Behind Ren Dong.

The staircase that was obviously one level higher, the elevator below began to rise under the control of the staff.

Five lights on the scene shine here.

The RNG players wearing new team uniforms look like five yellow slime monsters in the game. The overall image is hard to describe.

RNG fans at the scene and in the live broadcast room couldn't help but wail and covered their eyes in an attempt to cover up the scene.

But then.

When they heard Ren Dong yelling, "LPL's second seed! E~D~G!"

Many RNG fans opened their eyes again.

The elevator on the right was controlled to ascend by on-site staff.

The five members of EDG are like racing drivers preparing to go to a racing race. The new uniforms they wear are consistent with racing uniforms in shape, appearance and stripes. The team name logo printed on the chest of the uniforms has completely fixed the audience's impression of EDG's uniform as a "racing suit".

"Finally~"

"Our LPL No. 1 seed!"

"TOP~~~One!!"

The passionate voice penetrated the thick steel and reached everyone's ears.

Wang Yu took a deep breath, quickly adjusted his new team uniform again, and then stood straight waiting for the elevator to start.

"Don't be nervous, don't be nervous!" Xiao Ming kept repeating it, but his facial expressions and actions still betrayed his inner state.

"Just treat these audience members as stick figures. It's only a matter of a few minutes. Just grit your teeth and hold on and it will be over!"

Xiye, who had no experience, shared with Xiaoming the little tricks he learned from his predecessors.

"Xiao Ming, breathe in and out with me~" After getting dressed, Wang Yu began to help Xiao Ming adjust his mental state.

"No, Brother Yu! I'm still so nervous!"

"That's not called nervousness, you're just too excited. You won't be excited after participating in it a few more times."

The elevator worked slowly.

Some of the dark environments began to see a ray of light.

See this.

There was no time for everyone to chat. They quickly stood in their respective positions and got ready under the scattered light.

No one wants to miss the World Championship due to an accident at a departure ceremony.

When everyone appeared on the stage and all the audience saw TOP1's new uniforms, there was a unanimous cry of "sh!"

The players from the TOP1 team stood in the center of the stage.

The lights were focused on everyone.

Different from RNG’s new yellow team uniform and different from EDG’s new motorcycle team uniform.

The overall color of this new team uniform worn by all members of TOP1 is composed of bright gold, pure white, scarlet red and pure black.

The four colors blend together without making people feel dizzy.

The position and shape of each color can perfectly express what the designer wants to express.

Whether viewed from a distance or up close, there is a unique Chinese feng shui ink painting atmosphere.

There is no harm without comparison.

Against the backdrop of the abstract team uniforms of RNG and EDG.

Not surprisingly.

Wait until the departure ceremony is over.

The official store of the TOP1 team will be crowded with players who are lucky enough to see it in the first place!
"The players from the three teams representing the LPL region in the World Championship have all made their debut!"

"Then let us wish the players of these three teams good results in the 2017 World Finals!"

"Finally, can the audience here and in front of the screen please shout out that sentence with me?"

Ren Dong passed the microphone to the audience.

The audience at the scene also shouted in unison with all their might!
"LPL!"

"Come on!"
