Chapter 50 Optimistic Doll and Miller
Chicago time on October 16 at 17:00.
League of Legends 2016 Global Finals, the last game of the quarter-finals: ROX vs RNG.
When I arrived, I saw a huge crowd outside the Chicago Theater. In addition to many audience members who bought tickets, there were also many fans of ROX or RNG, official invitations from Riot Games, or Cosplayers who gathered here due to personal preferences.
It was so crowded and lively.
When entering the theater, I met many Tigers fans on the road, including Chinese and Korean students and tourists, as well as many Europeans and Americans.
Fans from East Asia to Europe and the United States are all enthusiastic and unrestrained at this moment. The shutter sounds of mobile phones and cameras can be heard from the moment we get off the car. The cheers of the fans are heart-pounding.
Some shouted:
"ROXFighting!"
"ROXTigers, go all the way and become the champion!"
"Flashlight, can you stay in North America? NA needs you!"
These are normal, and some female fans shouted:
"Peanut, I love you!"
"Flashlight, marry me!"
"Lite-On, mother loves you!"
Although there were many strange shouts, Lin Qiguang still smiled and waved to fans from all directions.
These fans or spectators who come to the scene to support are the foundation for the prosperity of the LOL game, the driving force behind the League of Legends professional league's global sensation, and the "food and clothing parents" for professional players.
No matter how weird you shout, you are still a fan after all, so you can spoil her if you can, as long as it's not an illegitimate affair.
Well, the illegitimate meal will die first.
……
"Ladies and gentlemen, all summoners here, welcome to the Chicago Theater, the quarter-finals of the League of Legends 2016 Global Finals - ROX vs RNG, are about to begin!"
"Now, let us welcome members of both teams!"
In anticipation of the event, the lights went out instantly.
Suddenly, the sound of violins and effects instruments began to sound in the theater, and then the bass drum and viola joined in, and a sonorous symphony gradually filled the theater.
"World Championship 2016" is a theme symphony specially created by Riot Games for the global finals. It will be adapted every year in the future and play in the hearts of countless LOL players.
Amidst the exciting symphony, the lights illuminated the stage again, and the host began to read the IDs of the ten players and two coaches on the field.
"First up is RoyalNeverGiveUp, the second seed from LPL! Top laner - Looper! Jungler - MLXG! Mid laner - Xiaohu! ADC - Uzi! Support - Mata! Coach - Fly!"
"Then, the summer champions ROXTigers from LCK!"
“Top order—Flashlight!”
"Jungle——Peanut!"
“Mid laner——Kuro!”
"ADC——Pray!"
"Assistant——Gorrila!"
"Coach - Nofe!"
When the host read out the IDs of the three players, the loudest cheers erupted on the scene, Uzi, Flashlight, and Peanut.
Before the first year of e-sports, Uzi and Clearlove were the well-deserved "image managers" of the LPL. Most other regions' understanding of the LPL began with these two.
In 2013, Uzi went to the United States to participate in the S3 Global Finals. To this day, there are still many North American audiences who remember him. It is normal for him to be popular.
As for the popularity of Lin Qiguang and Xiaohuahua, it goes without saying.
Strong, handsome, and good-natured, this type of person is very popular in any field.
Especially Lin Qiguang, who wears the ID of "Flashlight", showed unparalleled dominance in the top lane in the four games of the group stage, and has not had a "kill" record so far!
After the introduction session, the personnel of both teams took their positions one after another and began pre-match debugging.
In the LPL live broadcast room, the three commentators, Remember, Bai Yueya, and Su Xiaoyan, are conducting pre-match analysis. However, although RNG is the only remaining seed in the LPL, it is obvious that the atmosphere in the live broadcast room is not very high. .
After EDG lost to SSG by a huge score, LPL viewers basically had an idea of the outcome of this game. As for the possibility of RNG defeating ROX, probably, maybe, maybe - winning one game would be considered a success.
At the beginning of the summer split, when Uzi "returned" to the Royal Family, countless GSL players around the world imagined that the bottom lane combination of Uzi + Mata could sweep the LOL professional arena, but now it seems that it is indeed just wishful thinking.
Soon, the trash talk session recorded before the game appeared on the big screen, and the players from both sides exchanged cordial and friendly greetings.
Flashlight: My favorite hero is "Paramount Swordswoman" Fiona, but I couldn't be selected in the group stage. I hope that senior Looper, who has already won the world championship once, can be generous and let me get my wish.
Looper: Of course I have no objection, and even welcome Flashlight players to do this, but if you really choose Fiora, then we will entertain you with Ryze and Maokai.
MLXG: I heard that Peanut’s idol is Clearlove, but Clearlove has been eliminated. So as a fan of Clearlove, should Peanut follow EDG’s flight to comfort his idol?
Peanut: Thank you MLXG player for the reminder. After the 3-0 victory over RNG and I get off work, I will immediately go to the counter and post a post to comfort Clearlove.
MLXG:.
The pre-game trash talk between ROX and RNG contains a lot of jokes, which is watched with gusto by viewers in the European and American competitions as well as those in the Chinese and Korean competitions. In addition to being elegant and easy-going, this kind of trash talk also contains yin and yang weird trash talk, which is indeed very effective. .
After the trash talk session ended, the live broadcasts in each competition area naturally moved from the commentary box to the commentary box.
The person in charge of the LPL live broadcast commentary today is the classic old combination of Miller and Wat.
"Thank you to the three people in the commentary box. What you are seeing now is the live scene of the Chicago Theater. What I will bring you soon is the game between RNG and ROX. Hello everyone, I am a doll."
"Hello everyone, I'm Miller."
The doll turned to look at Miller: "Although this game hasn't started yet, it's already very exciting!"
"Yes, although many viewers in our LPL division may not be optimistic about RNG's ability to defeat ROX, things are unpredictable. Before the result of the game is determined, everything is possible!"
In fact, in Miller's mind, RNG's chances of winning against ROX are very low, but he is the official commentator of the LPL after all, so naturally he cannot belittle his own team too much before the game.
"I think the key to this game must be focused on the bottom lane, because we all know that RNG is best at playing the bottom lane, and Uzi plus Mata is a good bottom lane combination for any team in the world."
This is completely nonsense. The combination of Uzi and Mata has been unsatisfactory since the summer split. In the summer finals, they were swept 3-0 by EDG.
In the World Championships, this pairing is also a ghost. When in poor condition, they can even be beaten by Europe's third seed SPY. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Uzi and Mata are the most unstable points of RNG at present.
Thunder can strike at any time.
"Then RNG actually has something to say about the confrontation between the midfield and jungle combinations, right?"
"Yes, we all know that Kuro is always known for his support, while Xiaohu is known for his laning. He can single-kill Faker several times at MSI. So in the mid lane, I think Xiaohu can play more unrestrainedly. Try to gain a laning advantage.”
"In the jungle confrontation, Xiang Guo and Xiao Peanut's styles are both intrusive. In fact, they compete for operation and who is braver. If Xiao Hu can gain an advantage in the lane, then Xiang Guo will be better in the jungle. District should not lose much to Little Peanut.”
"As for the top laner, Looper should try to be as stable as possible, because Flashlight is indeed in the spotlight, and the dominance he showed in the group stage is indeed a bit exaggerated."
"." I have to say that LPL's main theme is optimism!
