Chapter 128: Little Tiger under the lights! The opening match begins! (First update, please subscribe)
June 8th.
At noon, after lunch, the GT team immediately went to the competition site.
Since they won the mid-season championship, He Youjun thought about it again. Since his fame had already been fully established, he decided not to change the team abbreviation. However, he still changed the team name to Gigantic Treasure, which means that this team is a huge treasure for him.
But judging from the performance, this has indeed been achieved.
He liked the two letters GT after the name change.
For fans, there is no difference, they are all called GT... the players are still the same players, and the team logo is still the same logo.
As for the summer season, the competition system of the spring season is continued. The champions and runners-up of the spring season are divided into two groups, A and B, with the team as the leaders of the two groups.
The remaining ten teams are put into a pool and randomly drawn.
As a team in Pool 1, GT was assigned to Group A. The other five teams in the same group were EDG, WE, iG, Snake, and IM.
Group B: RNG, OMG, NB, SNG, JGD, LDG.
This grouping is very interesting. First of all, the two teams with love-hate relationship, iG and WE, are divided into the same group. Then the factory manager has two opportunities to face his old club. The most important thing is that the first and second teams were together before, and they are very strong. Fortunately, there is no pressure of relegation, but it can be seen that the intensity of the fight for the playoffs will definitely not be low.
After all, there is really no easy target. Except for the Snake team, the other five teams are all playoff teams.
Group B is a little weaker...
However, the e-commerce war also adds a lot of highlights.
Of course, there is no suspense about the first place. If RNG can't even get first place in Group B, then forget about impacting the World Finals and they might as well just disband.
After all, for strong teams, the summer season is about competing for a spot in the global finals!
……
The opening match kicks off at 5pm.
EDG vs GT!
The official side is still very good at capturing hot spots.
As the champion of the mid-season tournament, GT is undoubtedly a guarantee for the ratings of the opening game. And facing off against Clearlove, who has rested for the entire spring season, the popularity of this game will undoubtedly be maximized.
The result was indeed as it turned out. It was already a hot search two days ago, and the tickets were sold out as soon as they were released.
As for the second game, it is the e-commerce war between Suning and JD.com, which has also attracted a certain amount of attention.
Regardless of anything else, the gimmick has been created.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the official makeup artist entered the backstage lounge to help the contestants with their makeup.
Liu Qingsong and Lin Weixiang, who were sitting nearby, looked on with envy.
This is the treatment only given to starting players.
Of course, the reason for doing this so early is mainly because there is an unveiling ceremony before the game starts.
All twelve teams will be introduced.
At about four o'clock, Ren Dong appeared in the center of the stage. The moment he raised the microphone, fireworks burst into the air, accompanied by the effect of dry ice, and the visual effect was maximized.
"After a long offseason of waiting, today, we finally ushered in the grand opening of the summer season!"
"Twelve teams are ready to go. With new blood injected and new faces appearing, they are full of ambition and passion. The precipitation during the offseason has allowed each team to go through hardships and make careful preparations. At this moment, they stand at a new starting point, eager to shine and pursue glory on this field."
"In the coming days, let us witness their hard work on the field. We look forward to every exciting match and every amazing moment. I believe this summer will be wonderful because of them!"
Now, I am excited to announce that the summer season has officially begun! Let us go to this e-sports feast and cheer for our favorite teams! "
On the big screen at the back, the exciting moment of GT winning the spring season was being played.
The audience in the venue also ignited their enthusiasm at this moment and cheered!
"Next, please welcome the representatives of the GT team and the EDG team..."
Representatives from the twelve summer season teams came out from the backstage one after another and stood in their respective positions.
The one who represented GT was Li Yi. Originally he didn't want to come out for this segment, after all, he had only been in the team for a few months, and GimGoon was the perfect fit as the team's veteran.
But Jin Gong said that he didn't have as many fans as Lee Yi, so how embarrassing would it be to go up there and there would be no fans calling out to him?
When everyone heard this, they thought it made a lot of sense and pushed Li Yi forward.
It’s true, even after cutting ties with Xiu Meime’s fan club, Li Yi’s popularity is still very explosive. The moment he appeared on stage, he ignited the whole place, and most of the audience were screaming.
Uzi, who was watching in the base, felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier that he should have gone today and surpassed this guy, wouldn't it have been considered revenge for the finals?
At the beginning, it was decided to let uzi go, but he thought the venue was too far away, and there were no games to play, so what to do with that time?
So I gave it to Xiaohu... Wouldn't it be better to train by myself at the base?
However, after playing a rank game, I felt like I had nothing to do, so I watched the opening game.
After watching it, I felt a little regretful.
But the regret disappeared in the next second, leaving only relief.
Because when Xiaohu stood on the stage, his position happened to be under the neon lights. Under the alternating illumination of the red, orange and blue lights, the color of his face kept changing.
The green face and fangs make him look like a ghost, as funny as it can be.
If it were me, the picture would be so beautiful.
so far so good.
The audience at the scene couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene.
Although he knew that laughing at others was an embarrassing thing, after all, he had undergone professional training. There were many funny scenes of Xiaohu on the court, but now another one has appeared.
"Hahaha..." It seemed like he really couldn't help it.
[Bad! I seem to have a disease that makes me laugh whenever I see Xiaohu! ]
[No, how can I stand right under the light? Director, are you targeting me, Xiaohu? ]
[Everyone please bear with me. The space up there is too small, so we can only let Xiaohu inconvenience you. ]
Before the game started, the audience was a little nervous and excited, but with this little episode, they felt a lot more relaxed.
After completing this process, the camera switched to the studio.
As the current leader, Wawa Miller naturally appeared in front of the camera. The female commentator working with them was Su Xiaoyan. This was also her last season of commentary.
Ever since breaking up with Wei Xiao, I no longer want to appear in everyone's sight.
There are too many voices in the main discussion, which bind the two of them too tightly to the point that it affects daily life.
It just so happens that I can pursue my own life.
She wants to take a postgraduate entrance exam first...
Wawa Miller smiled and said, "Hello everyone, I am Wawa."
"I'm Miller."
"I'm Su Xiaoyan."
"When I saw the starting lineups of both teams yesterday, I was already looking forward to it, mainly because that man is back!"
"Yes, I recently looked at that man's ranking record. He is very strong, really very strong. Look, he has won two consecutive games. Sejuani and Xin Zhao can carry his teammates every time."
Wawa and Miller couldn't wait to talk about the factory director.
The barrage in the live broadcast room was also scrolling like crazy.
The group of little piglets from EDG were also very excited at this moment. They were back, finally back.
With the backbone here, I feel the competition is a lot easier. Let’s try to win the Spring Split and Mid-Season Championships first.
Let them know that the reason EDG didn't win the spring season was purely because the factory manager was resting. Now that the factory manager of the pig factory is back, it's time for you to feel the control that man has over the league.
EDG But these little fans have no doubt about his dominance.
After all, even Brother Shengqiang said in despair that domestic teams are all studying how to beat EDG.
The big tree system kills all tactics.
But... after saying this, EDG fans attacked him.
Isn't it because you are not strong enough? How can you blame others for only playing the big tree system?
It is not difficult to see from here how terrifying EDG is in the league.
It’s just a pity that the performance in the global finals was not very good.
If we hadn't won the mid-season championship, we wouldn't even have had a fig leaf to hide.
"Although GT has signed Lin Weixiang and Liu Qingsong, the starting lineup is still the starting five, with top laner GimGoon, jungler Wushuang, mid laner Sease, AD Theshy and support Savoki."
"To be honest, I was really shocked when GT moved theshy from top lane to bottom lane at the beginning. Although the reason was ridiculous, West was hospitalized due to food poisoning. At that time, I thought it was just a replacement. After that, West would come back to play AD. Unexpectedly, theshy really adapted better and better. It didn't look like he was moved from top lane to bottom lane at all."
Su Xiaoyan nodded.
"But he was a jungler before... He is a very talented player and has played three positions."
“So today’s opening match is really exciting!”
The scene changed and the camera was focused on the contestants' seats, where contestants from both teams took their seats.
At this time, Li Yi appeared in the center of the big screen.
When you zoom in, you can see a thermos cup on the table.
"After the Spring Finals against RNG, I noticed that Sease had a thermos cup on his playing area. He brought it with him to almost every game in the Mid-Season Invitational."
"Yes... Is it possible that there is milk tea in the thermos?" Su Xiaoyan asked suddenly.
Because she has watched a lot of videos recently, many teachers poured milk tea into thermos cups to keep it warm, and it still felt icy cool when she drank it.
As for warm water, don't even think about it.
The weather in Shanghai in June is murderous.
I can't even drink water at room temperature, let alone warm water.
"I'll have to ask the God of Show if I get a chance." Miller said with a smile.
At this time, the camera has scanned all the professional players and the screen entered the bp interface.
"Okay, EDG on the blue side, GT on the red side! Let's see the first BP of both teams!"
On the big screen, you can see that EDG’s first-hand hero directly removed Syndra.
"Sindra is now the absolute signature hero of Sease. She is a must-pick and must-ban hero. EDG chose to target the mid lane, so it is reasonable to remove her."
"If we're on the red side... I don't know if Kalista will be available. The Censer has reduced some of its health recovery and damage, so Kalista's priority may not be that high."
"Is it still banned? I still think Kalista is hard to deal with. That's fine."
"EDG continues to ban mid laners. They are quite cautious and don't even want to give Twisted Fate this time."
There was no surprise in GT's second hand, and he gave it to Pig Girl.
"If we ban people like this, I feel like Rakan will be banned next. Rakan is a bit abnormal," Miller said.
"Look at EDG's third ban... Janna? So they have to ban Rakan now."
GT really only has the option of moving Luo away.
If there was Janna, they could have fought a fierce battle of offense and defense, but now that she is not there, there is no need to give such a perverted team-opening player to EDG.
What's more, the opponent is Meiko. Putting aside other things, just the title of the No. 1 support in LPL deserves respect.
No matter how well your opponent practices, if it is difficult for them to produce something, just ban it.
EDG has no extra choices here, so they directly lock the excavator on the first floor.
GT took down Galio and Prince on the first and second floors.
After EDG took Shen on the second floor, they hesitated for a while on the third floor, and ultimately did not help the mid laner get a hero. Instead, they took Varus and chose to go to the bottom lane first.
GT didn't hesitate too much here and grabbed the big mouth directly!
At this point, EDG already felt something was wrong.
Galio is likely to be the mid laner, and there is a high probability that a counter position will be left in the top lane.
They first picked Shen and didn't take Emerald God, so they didn't have a second option to pick up the Censer, unless they could get Madara and sacrifice the mid lane.
But GT seemed to see through them.
I banned the Fan Lady and left Lulu outside on purpose.
EDG didn't dare to release Lulu. If GT released Lulu on the fourth floor, their lineup would be very abnormal.
Prince Galio Lulu...there is no way he will be able to cut into the big mouth in his life.
You can only choose to ban it yourself.
GT already had a backup plan and directly sent out Morgana.
EDG has long been caught in a dilemma.
nofe really didn't expect that GT could make such a good bp on the red side.
No wonder the excavator was released on purpose.
Then he directly took down the combination of Galio and Prince.
As for fighting against Galio, it is not very comfortable, so I can only take down Taliyah on the counterattack.
In the end, I helped Varus get Nami as an assist, and then the lineup was finalized.
"I can do Galio, Gongzi brother should take the top lane to gain an advantage."
"How is Sword Princess?"
"That's fine, Sword Lady is no problem." Jin Gong nodded.
After all, they dared to draw their swords against SKT, so what does EDG have to be afraid of?
He was well aware of Mouse's level and could hardly put any pressure on him.
Mainly, I have tested his level in ranked.
Shen can't beat the big worm, and the big worm can't beat Shen. It's very abstract.
As Fiora locked on, cheers from the audience rang out.
After all, everyone actually prefers to watch the attack in the top lane. If it is a tank, the camera will be focused on the top lane just to last hit and develop, which is boring.
In this way, the lineups of both sides are determined.
EDG on the blue side: Shen on top, Jarvan IV in the jungle, Taliyah in the mid lane, and Varus and Nami as the duo on the bottom lane.
GT on the red side: Fiora on top, Jarvan IV on jungle, Galio on mid, and the bottom lane duo of Kog'Maw and Morgana.
