In the passage.

Su Chen listened to the cheers that echoed throughout the venue, and his mood couldn't help but surge.

This year's LPL Summer Split promotional video took a lot of effort from shooting to production, and is obviously much more sophisticated than the Spring Split.

One of the most important reasons is that ym won the MSI championship on behalf of the LPL, which also rekindled the hope of the entire division.

After defeating the LCK division and winning the MSI championship, the LPL once again has the confidence to challenge for the supreme throne of the S championship.

This is also the origin of the theme of the Summer Split promotional video "Fighting for the Top of the World".

"It was okay in the later stage, but there were a lot of mosquitoes when I was shooting." Xiaotian, who was standing behind Su Chen, commented.

"It feels like the atmosphere of the summer games is several times better than the spring games." He stuck his head out with his left hand and looked at the scene in the stadium.

Su Chen took a deep breath, held the zipper of his coat with his fingers, and pulled it all the way to the top, his eyes becoming firmer.

…

After the promotional video is played.

LPL host Yu Shuang, wearing a printed cheongsam, came to the top of the stage with a smile.

"Friends in the audience! Welcome to the opening game of the 2018 lpl summer game. I am Yu Shuang!"

"After nearly two months of offseason, we have returned to the venue in Hall 9 of Supermarket Plaza, standing on this familiar stage to witness the beginning of a new story!"

"At the MSI Mid-Season Invitational that ended in May, we broke the three-year drought and won the MSI championship again, returning from Europe with full honors."

"The one who accomplished this feat is a new generation team that has just advanced to the LPL in the spring split. They are young and fearless, and they continue to create their own legendary path with miracles again and again."

"Let us welcome the young miracle team with the warmest applause!"

Under the guidance of Yu Shuang.

In the left channel of the competition stage, Su Chen led the ym players to the stage one by one.

On the LED display in the center of the stage, a sailboat riding the wind and waves also appeared, which was eventually determined as the ym team logo.

Five people lined up under the spotlight, and the camera passed over each of their faces.

Different from the green face when he took the stage in the spring game.

Once again standing on the stage of the opening match, the ym players had confident and determined expressions on their faces.

As the leader of the team, Su Chen, facing the attention of the audience, stretched out his fist and knocked on his chest, nodding towards the fans' cheers.

After winning the MSI championship and returning from Europe.

ym's identity is completely different.

They are no longer a rookie team that needs to be looked up to in the spring split, but have reached the top of the lpl and become the strongest team.

This summer season, Su Chen wants everyone to realize one thing.

The era of the Yonko is over.

In the summer split, lpl will only have one king, and that is ym!

"And the one they are going to face today is the runner-up in the LPL Spring Split and their old rival, the edg team!"

On the right side of the passage.

Wearing the new version of the summer split team uniforms, the edg players took to the stage one after another.

iboy, meiko, junior boys scout, huni...and the team spirit of edg, the factory director!

In the starting list announced before today's game, the factory director took the place of Little Peanut and will start in the opening game.

In the last two games of the spring finals, the factory director performed very well, which also regained the trust of the edg management. This is one of the reasons why he was able to start again.

In addition, considering the recent ongoing Asian Games exhibition match lineup voting.

Edg gave the factory director the starting lineup during this period, and obviously had the idea of ​​​​fighting for him to get a spot in the Asian Games.

Across the stage, Su Chen and the factory director looked at each other. The latter nodded to him and walked back to his competition seat.

"What do you mean, it's a classic fan meeting. You can't be soft this time." He poked Xiaotian with his left elbow, "We agreed not to work overtime."

"Don't worry, I won't stretch my hips like I did in the spring finals." Xiaotian clenched his fists with a firm gaze.

The best way to pay tribute to an idol is to surpass him!

Xiaotian already understood this truth.

Tonight, his fighting spirit was quite strong.

After the players on both sides were in place, the screen temporarily switched back to the Dousha LPL live broadcast room.

"Haier Brothers" appeared in front of the camera.

"Hello, I'm a doll!"

"I'm Miller!"

After the two briefly introduced themselves, they then chatted about various changes in the lpl during the break, as well as predictions for the summer split.

Before the start of the summer split, the lpl also officially clarified that the home and away system would be implemented in the new season.

Currently, lpl has six home cities across the country: Kyoto, Magic City, Xian, Wudu, Jiangzhou, and Hangcheng.

All matches in the LPL Summer Split will be held in these six cities.

This can also further promote the popularity of e-sports events, allowing more lol fans to watch the games offline and call their favorite players live.

In addition to the launch of the home and away system.

During the summer transfer period, Wawa and Miller also made a summary of the personnel changes in each club.

First of all, the old and strong teams.

The personnel of edg have basically not changed. The director of the summer competition mentioned the starting position as the only point worth paying attention to.

On our side, the original substitute top laner Jin Gong was traded to fpx, and will rotate with the original starting top laner 369 in the summer split.

It is worth mentioning that fpx has also introduced the original vg mid laner easyhoon, who will take up the starting position in the new season.

But these are minor repairs.

The two teams rng and ig have undergone the biggest changes.

On rng's side, Uzi returned from the summer game with full blood after recuperating from the spring game.

According to recent news in the circle, Uzi's recent state in training matches can be described as "terrible".

Most coaches believe that rng will be the favorite to win the championship in the summer split.

On ig's side, the shy replaced Duke in the starting position. This talented top laner who has shown potential in the S7 season, after being benched in the spring split, returned to the starting position in the summer split and will burst out.

What kind of energy it will produce is enough to make people look forward to it.

In addition to the old teams, the league's new teams, Snake, Galaxy RW, and the newly introduced ldl jdg, including the fpx team that is only one step away from the playoffs in the spring, are all new generations that cannot be underestimated.

strength.

"In general, the changes in this year's summer split are quite big. After winning the MSI championship, we all felt the renewed vitality of the lpl," Wawa said. "Of course, the biggest favorite for the summer split championship is,

It’s still the ym team.”

"Yes, but today's Bo3 between ym and edg is also a test of their status in the summer split. Although ym won the msi championship in Europe, everyone still remembers that they were forced by edg in the spring finals.

I've been in desperate situations." Miller nodded.

"After some experience in msi, whether ym can continue to maintain a good enough state in the summer split to accept the test of the entire lpl division will be the biggest highlight of today's opening game..."

Following the discussion between the two.

The live broadcast screen has also returned to the scene.

The big screen has entered the bp stage.

In the first game of the opening game B03, edg got the priority to choose the side and locked the blue side first.

"For edg, it is definitely good news to win the blue side in the first game. After witnessing ym's playing style on MSI, edg should take action against their trump card tactics, AD top laner."

"Yes, after all, YM has come up with too many tricks on MSI. Let's see how EDG will lay out tonight's tactics after more than a month of digestion."

Three bans in the first round.

The blue edg banned skateboard shoes, airplanes, and bombers in sequence.

"The left hand is not allowed to hold the plane, and the skateboard shoes and bomber are locked at the same time. The three ban positions of edg are evenly distributed!"

For ym on the red side, the three ban positions are ez, Luo, and Syndra.

"YM's ban is quite routine here. It's still the idea of ​​​​keeping the bottom lane, but now Lucian is released..." Wawa frowned.

"I feel like EDG is going to grab Lucian. This hero is now swinging in three directions. If they get the one on the blue side that they don't ban, they must grab it first," Miller analyzed.

Sure enough, the blue side’s first choice was Lucian!

The audience was in an uproar.

The camera even showed EDG’s top laner Huni.
