The winner of the S tournament every year will return the Summoner's Trophy at the opening ceremony of the following year.

The design of the Summoner's Cup is also somewhat different from traditional trophies. It does not retain smooth lines and single-toned materials. It looks a bit like a short staff in an RPG game.

The silver back is inlaid with blue crystals and runes, representing the energy source of the League of Legends world.

The entire Samsung team left the stage amidst applause, while Roaring Emperor approached the trophy, first stretched out his handkerchief and carefully wiped the surface of the cup, causing a burst of laughter, and then smiled.

"The road to Incheon is full of thorns, but I believe that the great athletes who arrive in Busan will definitely have the courage to overcome the thorns!"

"What I want to introduce to you now are the 16 teams that have advanced to the S8 global group stage!"

"Let's welcome Team A, Flash Olf!"

Under Roaring Emperor's passionate introduction, the spotlights lit up one by one in the aisles of the auditorium.

Representative players from sixteen teams appeared in front of the camera.

Everyone stood with their hands behind their backs, and when their names were read, the director would also give them a close-up, which caused a round of cheers.

When it was Group D's turn, the voices on the scene became louder and louder.

Leader An, Su Chen, senior brother, and Ah P all stood in a row, attracting the warmest cheers from the audience.

Excited spectators waved photos of the contestants, including Chinese spectators holding up banners with "YM Come on" written on them.

In the front there is the world champion Samsung who just returned the Summoner's Trophy, and in the back there is YM, the most outstanding team this year. In addition, g2 and tsm are also strong teams in the world. The popularity of the entire D group is also the highest in the game.

The other players in the aisle also looked at Group D with gloating eyes.

Among these four teams, no matter which two teams are eliminated, it will be good news for the other teams. They just have to wait and see what happens.

After the 16 teams appeared one after another, the live music changed again, and the director also cut into the S8 group stage promotional video.

In the picture, the scenery of Busan flies by, accompanied by the lyrical BGM of guitar playing.

The Roaring Emperor appeared in front of the camera, and he said with a hint of vicissitude:

"The LoL Global Finals has been held for 7 years, and only in the 2011 S1 season did LCK fail to reach the finals."

"Why?"

"Because that year, lck did not participate."

"In 2012, lck won the runner-up. In the next four years, it was champion, champion, and champion again."

"Not only that, every S-game final is a civil war between the LCK team."

"In order to comfort other regions, we have been saying that the gap is narrowing. However, it was not until this year that there were some changes in the international arena."

"MSI, Asian Games, LCK are no longer the final boss. We have suffered consecutive defeats, and the real challenge has arrived."

"In the past five years, LCK has won all the championships. This year's World Championship is held in South Korea. I think we should also work hard to win everything and continue this glorious history."

After the Roaring Emperor finished speaking these words, the screen changed.

Players from the three teams, kt, geng, and afs, also appeared on the screen one by one.

“Kt has gathered half of LCK’s team, including the best top laners Marin and Smeb, the honorable Pawn and Mata, as well as Deft who is at the peak of their value, and kt Night Watch score. They are the biggest favorites to win this World Championship.

.”

"Although Geng has had ups and downs this year and lost the MSI, they defeated Faker's SKT in the summer and grabbed a ticket to the World Championship. Why can't they win the Summoner's Trophy for the second consecutive year?

"

"It's hard to believe AFS's top laner Kiin's carrying ability in the game. Once they enter the World Championship, this team will become even better."

The scene changed again, with Roaring Emperor standing under the Busan night, looking into the distance.

"In 2018, will LCK win its sixth S-League championship?"

"Or is it the birth of a new champion?"

"History is constantly moving forward, let us witness it together!"
