Chapter 300 [The first game of the finals! The flames of war are raging!]
Author: Xiao Fei Guang
Unknowingly, IG has been in South Korea for more than a month, and autumn is almost over.
After all, the members of both teams are participating teams in the LPL. Tengjing's player manager Vincent arranged for the two teams to rest in a hotel designated by Riot Games.
But it's sad.
Since other teams were eliminated, RNG, as an LPL team, also embarked on a journey back to China.
There are very few teams that both sides can schedule for training matches, and Tengjing strictly prohibits the two teams from scheduling training matches with each other.
IG and EDG are very clear.
After all, the two teams are opponents on the final stage. If too many things are exposed in the training match, it will not be very beneficial to the final.
This will also cause another problem.
Players from both teams are working hard and don't want to play training games seriously. They waste time without talking to each other, and it's easy to get into trouble.
Most of the domestic teams have already gone on vacation, and more clubs are preparing for the upcoming transfer period to grab players who have performed well this season.
The only teams that IG and EDG can make appointments with are the teams in the LCK.
IG is okay.
After all, Kkoma’s connections are relatively reliable in the LCK League of Legends e-sports circle, and he can make appointments for training matches with teams like SKT and KT.
On the other hand, EDG.
Because of Casa, they were able to make an appointment with FW, and it was even said that Khan helped make an appointment with their former team KZ.
Under such circumstances, the two teams were left with only five days to prepare.
This also includes their time to record the finals promo and trash talk, and even the rehearsal space before the game.
IG and EDG lived on the same floor of the hotel, but both parties had a tacit understanding and did not disturb each other.
After all, for the two teams IG and EDG.
Everyone is friends in private, but when it comes to the real battle, everyone will sprint towards the final championship trophy.
This may be their only chance in this life.
Special Mingkai.
From the promise of WE in ancient times to today, this is the first time in his career journey that he can stand on the stage of the global finals and compete for the Summoner's Trophy for his team.
From today.
No one can describe his professional resume as "trash Mingkai, with eight words and eight strokes".
But.
Ming Kai unexpectedly began to like the term Civil War Fantasy God.
If we talk about going to the finals this time.
If he can win the finals by defeating IG, then it doesn't matter even if this title hangs on his head.
As the host of LPL, Song Soo-yeon has not much going on at this time.
After all, most of the people on the stage of the finals are hosted by the organizers, and their LPL hosting duties are in post-game interviews and group interviews.
Li Nian's parents got on a plane to Incheon Airport in South Korea on the eve of the final, and Jack's parents came with them to watch the game.
The time soon came to the afternoon of November 3rd.
IG and EDG players boarded two buses officially arranged by Riot Games and headed to the final venue, Incheon Munhyuk Stadium.
This was once one of the venues for the 2002 World Cup, and the match between South Korea and Portugal was held in this venue.
Advertisements for this final have been hung on billboards along the route.
On the promotional sign.
On both sides of Li Nian and Mingkai substations.
The dark blue font of "2018 Season World Championship" behind him is extremely deep, and the effect of publicity is particularly obvious.
Not long after.
The bus took them to the above-ground parking lot next to Wenhe Stadium.
At this time, the viewing channel was already full of people. Many IG fans saw them getting out of the car and raised their support signs and shouted loudly beside them.
only.
Since it is South Korea's home court, in Li Nian's opinion.
There may not be many people coming to the finals venue to watch the game today.
After all, two teams from other people’s divisions are playing games at their own home court. Isn’t this going to ruin Korean e-sports?
Very cool!
Domestic e-sports forums have entered the e-sports New Year ahead of schedule since EDG defeated FNC and IG in the finals. Many fans and spectators originally did not plan to come to South Korea to watch the game.
I also purchased the air tickets and decided to maximize the momentum in other countries’ home stadiums.
can only say.
Riot Games had originally thought that the venue would not be full this time, but when the ticket sales ended, they were surprised to find that not only were there no tickets left, but there were also many scalpers selling them at exorbitant prices.
The number of tourists at Incheon Airport suddenly surged every month, as if their floors were about to be trampled!
After entering the backstage along the staff's passage, finishing makeup and doing a simple video interview, Li Nian just returned to the lounge with his teammates.
Chen Zebin looked very excited.
Although he knew very well that after passing the group stage, he would have no chance to play, but being able to show up at the opening ceremony was the pinnacle of his career.
If IG can win the championship.
He can also rub a piece of skin.
Simply delicious!
Kkoma is worthy of being a coach who has participated in countless finals, and he still seems confident about such a grand situation today.
He once again emphasized all the times in the final.
Principal Wang opened the door and came in.
As a former IG member, he once again wore last year's green down jacket today, as if to continue his good luck at the Bird's Nest.
"Come on everyone!"
Principal Wang hugged and cheered the team members, and then after Vincent entered the lounge, he returned to the front row of the auditorium from the backstage passage.
"IG players and coaches are ready to take the stage."
All team members stood up.
"Don't be nervous, just treat it as a normal game," Su Xiaoluo rarely came out to comfort the players, "We have beaten EDG all year long, and this final must be no exception!"
Li Nian nodded slowly.
IG has a very high winning rate against EDG.
After all, although Khan is listed as the most difficult top laner by other teams, Jiang Chenglu will not be at a disadvantage when facing the top top laner.
There is even suppression online.
As for Casa's pattern-controlling jungle style, with the changes in the version, it has become a mid-level choice and returned to mediocrity.
The junior's laning strength is not very stable this year, and he basically can't gain any advantage against Rookie.
As for the confrontation between two talented ADCs, Iboy and JackeyLove, both have their own strengths and weaknesses, and their advantages and disadvantages are obvious.
The most important thing is the competition between Baolan and Meiko to see who can take the lead.
Everyone hugged each other and walked to the stage.
At this time, the LPL official live broadcast room was extremely lively.
Stunts such as "IG can win two consecutive championships" and "LPL Autumn Split" attracted countless viewers and fans, and even players who were attracted by the popularity of chicken games.
He also rejoined the live broadcast room of this LPL civil war.
The League of Legends World Championship is in its eighth year. After experiencing the dark era when the LCK ruled the country and feared Korea, starting from last year’s global finals, the LPL has gradually emerged and won the championship in all competitions today.
If IG can continue to win the global finals, then they will successfully complete the unprecedented history of LPL as a Grand Slam team in the same year.
Become a legendary team.
In addition, Tengjing has invested huge amounts of money in this promotion, not only on the large screens in supermarkets in major cities, but also on the TVs in subways and buses.
Many viewers who have retired from gaming and rarely paid attention to the game, although they did not come to the scene today, they were pushed to various audiences through Tengjing's social media methods.
Nowadays, the number of people in live broadcast rooms on several major platforms has set a new record in the League of Legends e-sports competition.
The camera focused on the commentary box. As the guests on the main stage of this final, Ze Yuan, PDD and Rita were all in this category.
