In the cb-lol studio in Sao Paulo, warm drums sounded.
At the edge of the main stage, dancers wearing traditional Brazilian costumes stood in a row and performed under intertwined spotlights.
The large screen above played the exciting scenes of the two MSI finals of S5 and S6, as well as documentaries of the participating teams winning the championship and winning the trophy.
Along with the samba songs that gradually got louder, giant flags representing each competition area were raised from around the stage.
Regardless of whether they have entered the group stage or not, they have occupied a place on the stage of the mid-season championship.
The camera looks around.
Go to center.
The words 2017, mid-season, (League of Legends Mid-Season Championship) appeared on the big screen.
Accompanied by the host's introduction.
The six teams entered the venue one by one along the player tunnel.
The previous champion SKT stood in front, and Faker returned the golden Champions Canyon trophy to the pre-arranged pedestal.
Screen switching.
From the bird's-eye view of the two host cities, transitioning to the front of the venue.
Representative players from the six teams appeared in front of the camera one by one and gave their acceptance speeches.
"Can g2 kill skt?"
Ah Shui was looking forward to it.
The edg members returned to the backstage lounge, waiting for the second round, and watched the live broadcast through the monitor placed on the computer cabinet.
"It's really hard to say. Let's see how we choose the lineup."
Xing Dao felt there was a chance.
In a bo1 game, it is easy for the weak to defeat the strong.
The reason is that when strong teams are confident and have error tolerance, they will subconsciously hide things and not use them.
The weak team doesn't care about so many, any follow-up, or any trump card, they just want to take advantage of the game in front of them.
As expected.
When g2 was at a disadvantage in terms of player strength, it first revealed Ashe and Zyra, and deceived skt into using the alternate combination of Varus' female spear.
Then use the regular blind monk to jungle, and let Peanut, who is gradually being trained into a "little brusher", use a male gun that can continuously stack passive armor in the jungle without fear of invasion.
The top laner wanted to counter Galio and chose a crocodile.
In the middle, there is a duel between the Clockwork Demon Spirit and the Dark Head of State Syndra.
At the beginning of the game, g2 used its stronger combat power to gather and invade. They caught faker standing guard in the grass in the river, and the blind monk got the first blood.
The rhythm immediately took off.
In ten minutes, the female gunman will be captured and killed once.
Thirteen and a half minutes later, he took Zhongshang with him to forcefully cross the tower.
Tianhu started with a 4-0 plus a health tower.
However……
Looking at the economy, it is only 1,500 ahead.
"No more, no more."
The factory director shook his head: "There is no real advantage in fighting like this. It is impossible to win."
as expected.
In just seventeen minutes, skt recovered the economic gap.
Twenty-two minutes later, the score was over 3,000.
With the strong control of Galio, Varus, and Syndra, the explosion of male guns, even if G2's top laner Crocodile supplements the Invigorating Armor, he will still be taken away by one set.
Not to mention other squishy heroes, even the ranged ultimate move of the auxiliary female gun can't stand it.
What's even more outrageous is that Ai Xi entered the 'Gua Sha' mode and activated the Q skill [Archer's Concentration]. Each arrow dealt 16 points of damage...
Although the g2 team put up a very determined resistance, relying on Clockwork and Blind Sin to sneak attack on the back row to delay time.
But no matter how clever the tactics are, they cannot make up for the lack of development ability.
At forty minutes, G2, which was lagging behind by one big piece, had no possibility of continuing to resist. Faced with the advance of SKT and Shuanglonghui, they could only regretfully lose.
"Everyone is ready to go on stage."
Abu greeted the team members and reminded: "Test the peripherals first. The official save is not absolutely without problems. If it doesn't work, you must report it in time."
"Don't be careless during the competition. Losing to fw will be ugly."
"Don't worry, manager, leave it to me, no fool can lose to the provincial team!" After Xing Dao took over, he suddenly felt a little strange: "Hey, Brother Factory, why don't you look good? You have a cold?"
"No, no." The factory director shook his head: "The provincial team is actually quite strong."
"Just one Lightning Wolf is okay, the rest are just rotten fish and shrimps." Xing Dao didn't care at all.
Just finished.
It was found that the points were increased by 7777.
Only then did I realize that things were not that simple.
"Hahahahaha, that's too much!" Meiko burst out laughing.
"Oh, have we ever lost to other provincial teams?" Xing Dao only remembers losing to ahq in the S7 group stage. This has not happened yet and it should never happen again.
"S4 lost to ahq once..." Meiko whispered.
"Oh!" Xing Dao suddenly realized.
"Brother Changzi did more than a thousand points of damage." Meiko continued.
"Oh!" Xing Dao seemed to have discovered a new world.
"What's more than a thousand points? How can it be more than a thousand points!" The factory director was very dissatisfied: "It's one thousand five hundred and eighty-nine. Look at my mouth shape, 1-5-8-9!"
"Oh!" Xing Dao suddenly felt a little confused: "Brother Changzi, why do you seem so proud..."
"Go, go, go, go! You little kids, you know how to hack me day by day." The factory director waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go on stage."
Follow the player aisle and walk to the front desk.
Official staff have replaced the peripherals temporarily stored by everyone in edg, but no other software has been installed and can only be tested through custom modes.
"Hello, fellow summoners!"
"Welcome to the 2017 League of Legends Mid-Season Championship, the live broadcast of the second game on the first day of the group stage!"
"I am Zeyuan."
"I'm hallucinogenic."
"I'm Rita."
The Chinese station first gave the scene to three commentators.
In addition to Zeyuan, who is gradually taking over the title of poisonous milk, and the hallucination of the king, there is also a new face who appears in a key event for the first time.
"The two participating parties are our EDG team from the LPL division, and the FW team from the LMS division."
Zeyuan introduced: "In the second round of the qualifying round, fw crushed Turkey SUP with a record of 3-0 and advanced to the group stage. Its strength cannot be underestimated."
"There is a joking name." Qihuan added: "It is said that there are two teams in the LMS division, one is fw, and the other is other teams."
"Yes, Flash Wolf FW is the well-deserved overlord of LMS, and has the title of anti-Korean Qixia." Zeyuan recalled: "In the S5 finals, FW double-killed Koo. In last year's MSI mid-season championship, FW even won the group stage.
Achieved the achievement of double killing SKT."
"Wow, are you so strong?" Rita refreshed her sense of presence.
"It's indeed very strong." Zeyuan answered casually and continued the conversation based on the information on the screen: "Let's take a look at the starting lineups of both sides."
"EDG is still the familiar five-person group."
"Top laner general, jungler director, mid laner, jackeylove, and meiko come down."
"The fw top laner is mmd, the jungler is karsa, the mid laner is maple, and the bottom lane is betty and swordart."
"Speaking of which, there is a very interesting thing."
There was a two-second pause.
After Zeyuan passed the test, he spoke with a smile: "Karsa, a player, said in an interview, 'fw, the team will never be destroyed', 'I am now the director of LMS,' and he should also be one of the directors.
Loyal fans."
My mental state was a little bad. After adjusting for 3 days, I returned to normal updates and started to make up for the debt.
