Chapter 160
Bang!
Guangzhou Gymnasium.
As the classic and iconic fist logo fell, cracks like spider webs appeared on the 365-degree screen in the center of the stadium.
Wow!
The audience just cheered, and the lights in the stadium dimmed again.
A light also lit up on the big screen in the center.
A background music prelude that makes people's skin crawl sounded - the theme song of the 2017 World Finals - Legends Never Die!
On the banks of the big river, on the tall pine sea rocks, an exquisite and beautiful Summoner's Trophy stood quietly.
The lonely coast, with waves, the Summoner's Trophy seemed to have existed forever, motionless, cold and noble.
This is the most crazy and most desired thing for all professional players, audiences, and even officials around the world, nothing else!
"I don’t think people will remember you just because you made it to the quarterfinals."
The voiceover of BBD, the mid laner of the LZ team, came, and the scene switched to a delicate and classical pavilion. BDD walked out, looked up at the sky, and his tone was full of determination:
"In order to be remembered by everyone, you must continue to perform well on a higher stage.……！"
"BDD!! He is unstoppable. This Taliyah is unstoppable. LZ won the game in one go, 6/0! They became the first team to qualify from the 2017 group stage with a perfect record. OMG... the big boss is going to advance to the quarterfinals!"
In the voiceover, a North American commentator screamed madly.
On one side of the river, a beautiful white tower stood in the distance. The sky was dazzling blue, just like the dazzling performance of the Samsung team in previous S games.
An Zhangmen turned his back to the camera, looking at the endless sea:
"Reaching the quarterfinals is a feat in itself, but... we made it to the finals last year, so we have to make it this time too!"
He raised his head and looked sideways, his eyes dazed and his expression determined.
"Congratulations to C9! They won the game, and the score is 3/3. If nothing unexpected happens, they will advance to the quarterfinals this year. C9, the light of North America forever!!"
The passionate voice of the North American commentator sounded.
In the dim corridor, C9 mid laner Jian Huang leaned against the wall and looked directly at the camera:"Our opponent is LZ... Although no one is optimistic about us, but... just imagine, if we beat LZ, what a sensation it would be?"
"We may have to prove that North America is the strongest region!"
The BGM gradually reached its climax
"The World Championship is the best place to prove the players' strength."The lights and the night life of Guangzhou Road are so beautiful that it makes people intoxicated.
Cherish, the top laner of IG team, looks into the distance, as if he is telling his understanding of the S game, and announcing his ambition to the world.
"I just want people to see that I can compete with the best players in the world, and show them how I play the game... I am sure I can beat everyone in the top position!"
On the steps below the huge palace, FNC team top laner, the famous international friend's sister-in-law, with his back to the camera, climbed up step by step, just like his attitude towards his career.
"People have polarized my opinions. Although I have appeared in the World Finals many times, every time, I have to prove myself again and again.……！"
Looking up, the camera switches.
The crowd surges, and the night scene speeds up.
MSF Rabbit Team's support player looks up at the high-rise buildings flashing neon lights, where they can see the scenery that is out of reach:"Making it to the quarterfinals is a success for us, but I don't want to stop there. If we beat SKT, we can become famous all over the world!!"
In the white corridor, SKT's top laner Huni walks alone, with his back to the camera, and says one sentence in a resounding voice:
"The name SKT itself is equivalent to a crown."
The BGM gradually faded, and the climax ended.
In the darkness, RNG mid laner Xiaohu, wearing a black hoodie, walked upwards and said,"I think going from the group stage to the quarterfinals and semifinals is just a process. No matter what sports competition, what everyone remembers is the champion!"
Bang!
After the words fell, the BGM completely disappeared, the screen darkened, and the silver dragon logo of the 2017 World Finals appeared, stirring up the blood, and the BGM unique to S7 also resounded throughout the venue again.
"Ahhhh!"
"IG！IG！"
"RNG！RNG！"
"LPL go for it!! IG win for me!!"
""Dad Qiu, I love you! Handsome, handsome, handsome!"
The noisy scene, along with the end of the 2017 World Finals quarterfinals opening ceremony promotional video, also broke out into thunderous cheers.
It must be said that all the series of promotional videos this year were shot with great feeling, especially the background music, which really made people's scalps numb.
At this time, a baritone voice that was very familiar to all LPL audiences sounded:
"This is the 2017 World Championship quarterfinals. I am the host Ren Dong. Welcome to China G——Guangzhou!"
Wow!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the scene went crazy.
Ren Dong, wearing a maroon suit, also walked onto the stage with excitement, feeling the enthusiasm of 30,000 to 40,000 people from all directions in the Guangzhou Gymnasium. He was so excited that he almost trembled.
Even he was not as excited as the host, with so many people on the scene!
With this thought, Ren Dong raised his hands:
"Summoners at the scene, how are you?!"
"
Ahh...
"The audience in Guangzhou is just as enthusiastic as in Wuhan." Ren Dong suppressed his excitement and got straight to the point:"So... the two teams competing today are ready. Let's first invite the first team to play today."
"LCK's third seed, last year's runner-up team in the World Championship, has the LCK's living fossil jungler Ambition.——SSG！"
After that, Samsung's starting lineup, substitutes, and coach all walked onto the stage, smiling and waving at the audience.
But before they could get a response from the audience, a terrifying sound that was enough to make the place explode instantly swept the entire place!
"IG！！！"
"Ahhh!"
"IG!! Must win!"
IG, here they come!
IG walked onto the stage in high spirits.
At this moment, all the rumors that the world was not optimistic about IG, that everyone assumed IG was eliminated, that IG had already lost before the game even started... all of these were forgotten.
Now, IG was the only protagonist on the field!
This was the home advantage. No matter where they went, even if their own strength was not optimistic, they would crush all opponents in terms of popularity and support outside the field!
"Okay, welcome to both teams again…"
Ren Dong was also shocked by the terrifying noise at the scene. After coming to his senses, he introduced the two teams that would play against each other today, paused, and finally took a deep breath to the maximum of his lung capacity.——
"So... Heroes, chasing legends, I hereby announce the 2017 World Championship quarterfinals…"
"Let’s get started!!!"
PS: Happy New Year!!(∩_∩)O
