On October 5th, there was already a long queue at Wuhan Gymnasium at noon.

By around two o'clock, all the 20,000 seats were occupied.

Everywhere you look, there are heads of people. The scale of this global finals far exceeds that of last year's group stage in San Francisco.

The main thing is that the game hasn't even started yet, but audiences from all over the world have already started shouting.

Well, since it is a domestic home court, the vast majority of the people are Chinese.

Many young ladies even stick the logo of the team they support on their faces. As for cosplay, that is the most basic.

Yu Wenbo also returned to Hubei today. He cosplayed himself as Ezreal and sat in the stadium to watch the game.

I am a little envious and admire Li Yi. He has become the most popular mid laner in China right after his debut. Not only that, he has won many honors, including the Spring Championship, the Summer Championship, and the Mid-Season Championship...

Next we have to strive for the global finals championship.

Although we said in the training match that we would wait for him to win the championship next year, to be honest, you can imagine how difficult it is and I don't really have much confidence.

"Brother Yi...you really surprise me! I can't understand you at all this year. Help me win a global championship, and I'll help you win it next year."

Yu Wenbo looked at the center of the stage, his thoughts already beginning to wander.

Suddenly at this moment, enthusiastic cheers broke out at the scene, bringing him back to the game.

Feeling the atmosphere at the moment, his whole scalp was tingling.

I couldn't control myself and screamed loudly!
This livened up the atmosphere in the venue!

The teams waiting to go on stage backstage couldn't help but get agitated after hearing the noise in front of the stage.

Especially the teams playing in the play-in rounds.

The atmosphere in the qualifying round was already quite good, far better than in their own country's league.

It turns out that compared with the group stage, there is a huge difference between the two. There is no comparison at all.

By three o'clock, the screams and noise in the venue gradually subsided.

Because at this time, the big screen on the scene began to play the pre-recorded promotional video for the global finals, which successfully attracted everyone's attention.

"boom!"

With loud bangs, flames erupted at the scene.

Passionate music sounded at this moment.

It is the theme song of the S7 League of Legends Global Finals. The legend will never die!

The Riot logo turned into a colorful fist, and then the fist shattered the all-black film like broken glass.

The camera zoomed in on the shattered glass, which then flashed.

Start to overlook the whole Wuhan and take in all the buildings on both sides of the Yangtze River.

Locals can tell at a glance that this is the Yangtze River Bridge!

As expected, the camera rotated smoothly, and a bridge appeared in everyone's sight, with a few small words appearing below it.

Wuhan Parrot Island Yangtze River Bridge.

What the camera captures is a back view.

Wearing EDG team uniform, the ID on the back is: Clearlove7.

The factory manager is originally from Wuhan, and this group stage opening ceremony is equivalent to playing the game at his home court.

Even though he was the third seed, he still managed to get the first shot.

The factory manager's voice came out from the screen: "If I play in Wuhan, there will definitely be many fans from Wuhan who will come to support me, which will help me play better and better. I will also try my best to become the pride of Wuhan players."

The music melody changed, and before Uzi could be seen, his voice was heard:
"From my first time entering the World Championship to now, there have been a total of four times. I have won the runner-up twice, and I feel that each time I was just a little bit short... This time I don't want to be just a little bit short. I think I can win the World Championship!"

The two Hubei athletes have already appeared on the court, and the next view switches to the gate of Wuhan Sports Center.

The scene turned to Ou Cheng, who was standing at the gate.

"I have always believed that the best thing about the World Finals is that no matter what happened before, we must let the current results speak for themselves. I will prove who is the real world's No. 1 ADC!"

Then we arrived at the Yellow Crane Tower at night.

Bilson looked into the distance with a dazed look in his eyes and then slowly looked back at the camera.

"Not being able to perform well in the World Championship is my biggest concern, so when someone says that Bjergsen is not yet a legendary player, I can't refute it."

Also in front of the Yellow Crane Tower.

The two Xuanming elders, Pray and Gorilla, walked across each other.

"We always seemed to be SKT's foil because we always lost to them, but this year we beat them and we will win the championship in one go! Not even GT can stop us!"

At this time, the camera came to the center of Wuhan Gymnasium, and the championship trophy could be seen on the stage.

A figure wearing black and white team uniform appeared next to the championship trophy.

There is no doubt that he is last year’s defending champion, the world’s number one mid laner, the big devil - Faker!

At this moment, he put his hands in his pockets, full of energy.

“A lot of people say that if you can beat me, you’ll become a legend.”

“But I don’t think that’s the case.”

“Since my debut and defeat of Ambition, I have been at the top for many years. That’s why people call me a legend.”

"So, to become a legend, you have to beat opponents like me many times."

The music at this time reached its climax.

"Legends never die"

Li Yi was wearing the LPLS7 battle robe, all in black, which made him very handsome. It made his fair complexion even more prominent, and also added a lot of calm and majestic temperament.

"I know very well that the road to becoming a legend is full of thorns, just like climbing a steep and dangerous cliff, and every step is full of hardships. But I have a fearless heart and an unswerving determination!" His voice echoed throughout the venue through the speakers, like an exciting war drum, striking on everyone's heartstrings.

"Every game is a battlefield where I shed my blood. Every operation is a solid step towards becoming a legend. On this stage, I am the master!"

"In this World Championship, I will give my all, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, shining brightly in the sky. I want the world to remember my name, to make my name a new legendary symbol, engraved in the history of League of Legends, forever!"

Li Yi's words were like a thunderclap exploding over the stadium. The audience was stunned at first, and then deeply shocked.

At first, those words sounded a bit childish, but in this passionate arena, they seemed to have a kind of magic that directly impacted everyone's heart. Just like a huge rock thrown into a calm lake, the audience's emotions were instantly ignited, their eyes flashed with fanatical light, and they shouted loudly. The shouts gathered together, like a surging wave, almost overturning the roof of the gymnasium.

……

Li Yi in the background also felt a little ashamed after hearing this.

At that time, the director told him to say whatever he wanted to say, so Li Yi just said what he wanted to say.

"Wow! This is so cool! Next time I hope I can speak in the promo, and say something even more childish than Brother Yi."

"Okay, get ready and go on stage. Now that you've won the global finals championship, think carefully about what childish remarks you should make." Li Jiongjun said.

Everyone's expressions immediately became restrained.

After all, there can’t be any problems at the opening ceremony of the global finals.

At the same time, Ren Dong also walked to the center of the stage and began to shout loudly: "This is China! This is Wuhan! Welcome to the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals!"

"Dear audience members, can you please let the whole world and the 16 teams feel your enthusiasm?"

"Ouch!"

The audience at the scene also gave Ren Dong a lot of face and let out deafening screams, which directly created a huge wave of sound.

Countless fans were waving their cheering sticks.

"After a season of competition, 16 top teams from all regions will be here to challenge for the championship again."

"Now all the teams are ready, let's welcome the teams to the stage."

The fans at the scene screamed again.

The teams that had been preparing for a long time in the rear also came on stage one after another in response to Ren Dong's call.

Finally, stand in the center of the stage and accept the focus of the spotlight.

"GT! GT! GT!"

"EDG! EDG! EDG!"

"RNG! RNG! RNG!"

It is no surprise that these three teams received the loudest cheers among the sixteen teams.

Of course, if you listen carefully, you can also hear some people shouting SKT.

After all, SKT is a three-time champion, having won three of the six world championships. It is unacceptable that they have no popularity.

It is normal that some people in China like the SKT team.

Finally, all the teams appeared and then retreated to the backstage.

"The 2017 League of Legends World Championship is now officially underway"

The opening ceremony is over and the first group match will start.

The group stage is divided into two rounds and lasts a total of eight days.

After some thought, the official decided to arrange a match between GT and AHQ for the first round of the opening match.

First of all, these two teams are quite interesting.

After all, the second seeds from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan are also known as the provincial team.

As for GT, it goes without saying that it is the team that each region pays the most attention to.

The performance in the training match can only be described as unsatisfactory.

The fighting power displayed did not seem capable of winning the championship.

Maybe the adaptation to the version is not that good.

However, GT's performance this year has made everyone very cautious.

It's really hard to describe this team.

Observe the status more.

Especially Longzhu, they successfully defeated SKT in the finals. It felt like SKT was not a big threat. If GT was not in good shape, they could almost celebrate winning the World Championship.

As for other teams, there is no need to worry about them at all.

Li Yi and his friends sitting in the contestant seats were also very excited.

Everyone started debugging the equipment one by one, and only after confirming that there were no problems did everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

Started talking dirty.

After all, it is the global finals, so everyone should be more careful.

Even though AHQ's strength is indeed relatively weak, although it is the second seed, it may even be worse than C9.

He Youjun in the backstage was also rubbing his hands excitedly.

Here it comes! The global finals are here!
Let me fight for the opening match!

Of course when it comes to pressure, AHQ is definitely under more pressure.

First of all, this is the opening match, so needless to say it has attracted a lot of attention. Besides, we have all seen how powerful GT is during the Intercontinental Championship. They beat Flash Wolves so badly that they couldn’t even fight back and were sleepwalking the entire time.

So they are under much more pressure than GT in terms of position, especially when they have to play a great game...

Even if you lose, you must not be speedrun.

Speedrunning is a bit too embarrassing.

Ximen also cheered everyone up: "We are on the blue side this time... We still have a big advantage in the game. We have won against SKT before, which shows that we are strong enough. Add to that the BP advantage, and we might be able to defeat GT this time."

When others heard this, it seemed to be true.

Bo1 is like this. In addition to strength, there is actually some luck involved.

Unstable factors are the key to the weak defeating the strong.

"Dear audience, welcome to the opening match of the global finals. This round of competition is very interesting and full of highlights! I believe everyone has been looking forward to it for a long time."

At this time, Su Xiaoyan, the commentator, also started working.

The doll's voice is transmitted to the live broadcast room and the scene through a microphone.

Everyone became alert all of a sudden.

"AHQ on the blue side, GT team on the red side."

"The equipment on both sides has been debugged and the competition is about to begin."

"The rules for selecting sides in the global finals will remain the same as before. The team with priority in the first round will lose the right to select sides in the second round. Then, in the knockout round, the first place in the group will have priority to select sides, and the semi-finals will determine the side by tossing a coin."

"Although according to the data from the play-in matches, the winning rate on the blue side is higher, it is not absolutely high..."

Of course, Miller also knows that what he said cannot actually support this data.

In fact, the reason is very simple. With the participation of the five major teams, the strength gap in the qualifying round will be very large. In this case, even if these teams are on the red side, they can still easily win the game.

"AHQ acted very quickly and took down EZ right away!"

"Ezreal is a hero that Show God has used frequently during this period. Apparently AHQ is well prepared and has studied Team GT a lot during this period."

"Yes, after Ezreal was strengthened, many teams are researching this hero. I have also seen many jungle Ezreals, and I feel that the effect is really good. This hero is expected to become one of the hottest heroes in the World Finals."

"GT counter-banned Kalista... It seems that even after the nerf, GT still thinks Kalista is very difficult to deal with and does not plan to release this hero."

This choice is also of great concern to many teams.

Because according to the conclusions drawn by many data analysts, the hero Kalista should not have absolute dominance in the bottom lane due to changes in versions and equipment.

Therefore, a lot of games were released in the qualifying round, and there were indeed some candidates, but the results were a bit unsatisfactory, because the cooldown time of the ultimate skill was too long. In addition, because it was paired with a soft support, the laning intensity on the line was not high, and it was easy to be used as a breakthrough point.

The first round of bans ended quickly.

AHQ directly moved Luo and Xia away from the second and third floors.

GT removed Galio and Taliyah.

"AHQ got Shen first on the first floor." Wawa continued, "Ziv's top laner has a very rich hero pool, and he is also quite good at using Shen. Taking this hero in advance can be regarded as increasing the stability of the entire team."

"Shen's performance in the play-in round was still very eye-catching, and he is definitely worth grabbing. After all, the opening game is mainly about winning the game steadily, so this choice is no problem."

"GT takes down the rat, and then picks up the nightmare!"

"The hero Nightmare surprised me, but GT has always had a Nightmare and Clockwork system, plus Clockwork's protection ability is very good, so the third floor may choose Clockwork, it depends on what AHQ chooses."

Sun Yalong is now also commentating on this game as the second commentator with his partner.

"No... GT deliberately chose Nightmare to give us the illusion that they were going to choose Clockwork. In fact, it definitely won't be Clockwork. I think it's more likely that Nightmare will be paired with Rat." Sun Yalong showed his superb ability to understand the game at this moment.

Although you could say he's not good at it, there's absolutely no problem with his understanding of the game.

Even so, there were many doubts in the live broadcast room.

You said that Nightmare is here to match the mouse, so that’s it, right?

But AHQ has indeed locked the clockwork.

Then he took the Big Mouth in return, and now the bottom lane is more inclined to use the Big Mouth to fight against the Twitch.

The mouse has a bit of a sudden rise.

Especially after the Knight's Oath was strengthened, the damage benefit obtained was much more exaggerated than that of the Censer.

At this stage, he is also considered to be a t1 adc, and Kog'Maw is the top-level censer ad. He also has the W skill to increase the attack distance and is not easily stolen by the rat.

GT took Rambo in the third pick. This made Sun Yalong more certain that Nightmare was paired with Rat, and then tricked the opponent into choosing Clockwork.

It is very likely that the mid lane has already chosen a hero specifically to fight against Clockwork.

After all, the strong opening system of Nightmare and Rambo can create a very comfortable output environment for the mouse.

AHQ realized this and regretted taking the clockwork.

However, a new round of targeting was launched on the middle lane.

All the heroes that Clockwork is most afraid of were sent to move.

Syndra, male knife.

Although Syndra's Q skill has been shortened, she still has a very good advantage against Clockwork.

GT banned Lulu and Janna, two supports who are very good at counterattack.

If AHQ wants to continue to get the support of protecting people, there are not many options available, and none of them match well with the big mouth.

GT had already prepared the support they were going to get.

Lock down the troll directly!

Although everyone looked confused...

But you can still guess how to play just by looking at the lineup system.

Troll uses e skill to slow down, Nightmare uses his ultimate, Rambo uses his ultimate, and Rat harvests.

Did they use the ultimate skill directly in the first game of the GT group stage? I feel that this system was chosen a little too early.

AHQ had no choice but to take down the support and jungler.

Nami and the lion dog.

GT counterattacked and took down Lucian again.

The overall value of the E skill was not weakened too much, and it is still very powerful when paired with the censer.

But now there is a problem, why is there an incense burner on GT's side?
There is no support from the Censer at all, but you can produce two Knight's Oaths, so the damage seems to be good.

But I still don’t quite understand this lineup.

Since you don’t understand it, you should read it carefully with a magnifying glass.

See how they understand it.

After the heroes are locked and swapped positions, the lineups of both teams are also displayed on the big screen.

AHQ on the blue side: Shen on top, Lee Sin in the jungle, Clockwork in the mid lane, and the duo of Kog'Maw and Nami in the bottom lane.

GT on the red side: Rumble on top, Nightmare on jungle, Lucian on mid, and the bottom lane duo of Rat and Troll.

The coaches of both teams came to the center of the stage and shook hands. The first match of the group stage was about to begin.

The audience at the scene also burst into warm cheers during the picture reading stage.

Su Xiaoyan looked strange at this time!

The troll's talents are a bit strange.

The one I ordered was the Stoneborn Covenant.

The effect is to gain 5% of the maximum health. The hard control imposed on the enemy hero will mark it for 4 seconds, and other friendly heroes who attack the mark will recover a certain amount of health within 2 seconds.

It seems that only life is of little use to the troll, but 5% is obviously not enough.

"Recovery effect...Won't this trigger the censer? Is the troll going to release the censer?"

This equipment is generally soft auxiliary.

The troll has no resistance at all, but then again, the troll's ultimate can absorb resistance.

If you think about it this way, the incense burner has a cooldown period, plus the movement speed bonus, so it can still be used.

"Whether or not to get the Incense Burner item depends on how it is released in the game."

The three people in the commentary booth discussed it.

I feel like this is a very likely scenario.

Otherwise, the trolls would not have chosen this talent. How thick is the shield provided by the Courage of the Colossus?
When combined with the E skill, it can be triggered stably, and is very cost-effective for supports.

……

Ximen controlled Clockwork to move towards the middle lane.

The pressure facing Lucian's Clockwork is actually not that great.

After all, the range of Clockwork's Q skill is far enough, and Lucian's attack distance of only 500 yards can be easily consumed and pulled by him.

The opponent was indeed a bit too confident in choosing Lucian in the bottom lane in this game.

And after reaching level 6, if he cooperates with Rengar to jump into Lucian's face, he will definitely die.

This time might be a battle to prove myself.

I have gained more confidence that my career can definitely continue.

There are also some small designs on the first level of GT.

First, they huddled together to seize the vision in the bushes above f6.

The main reason is that after the strengthening of the Warwick, his combat ability in the jungle is particularly exaggerated, and it is easy for Nightmare to suffer losses if he encounters him.

The main reason is that the control can be easily removed by the W skill.

Subsequent games will result in losses.

So let’s first take a look at the opposing jungler’s jungle route.

However, the pressure on online heroes can be much less.

It is difficult to do things in the early stage before the Lion Dog reaches level 6.

That's why we have to force our way in to take a look at the view.

Then return to the middle lane and line up normally.

Li Yi controlled Lucian and did not advance rashly.

He still wanted to try out what Simon was thinking.

If the main focus is on development, then be a little more aggressive.

If you want to consume your own blood, you can just pull him out.

How you want to play depends on your opponent's choice.

However, Ximen was indeed very cautious here, and did not make any other extra moves. It can be seen that he focused on last-hitting and developing.

Li Yi looked at the soldier's health and pressed forward decisively.

Simon looked at Lucian and immediately used his Q skill.

However, Li Yi slid forward and hit the clockwork twice, easily pushing it back.

Simon thought about it and decided not to eat it. Anyway, as long as he could maintain his experience, there would be no problem.

At level 6, you can easily take down Lucian by cooperating with the jungler.

This gain or loss is nothing.

Li Yi naturally got to level 2 very easily.

He slid forward, used his W skill to hit Clockwork's butt, and used normal attacks to trigger acceleration, directly forcing Ximen out of the experience zone.

Lucian's laning strength is indeed very high when facing mage heroes.

In addition, the military line was successfully blocked, which made Ximen feel particularly uncomfortable.

When the third wave of soldiers came online, they had already drunk two bottles of medicine under pressure.

Of course, he was not passively taking the beating during this period. If Lucian dared to force his way forward, he planned to use the soldiers and shields to exchange for a wave of blood.

But if the q skill is used first, it will be dodged by Li Yi's e skill, and then he will be hit by a set of eaawaaa in return.

Clockwork's health dropped below half again.

On the other hand, Lucian only lost a little over 100 points of health.

There is no way to reduce the damage of the Q skill, and it is useless to pull back the shield with the first skill because it is too thin. There is no way to trigger the damage of Thunder with a normal attack.

But Li Yi's enthusiasm for war has been maximized.

This time, I didn't choose Thunder like before, but instead focused on normal attack.

The effect is also very good, and it can be fully stacked in one set.

But I still have a bottle of medicine in my hand, and I have the ability to teleport, so the worst that can happen is that I can use my mana to exchange for the opponent's health.

This line is barely acceptable.

Simon took a deep breath.

The opponent's suppression is indeed exaggerated, but he can still hold on now.

At least eat the first three waves of minions, then go back to the city and teleport back.

I exchanged my health but the opponent also pushed the line of soldiers over. Next, I just need to develop well under the defensive tower. It is very difficult for the opponent's mid-jungle combination to cross my tower.

It was when I thought of this that I slowly began to relax.

Waiting for Lucian to push the line of troops over.

But at two minutes and forty-three seconds, Nightmare, who had reached level three after killing the red buff, had already come over from the top lane.

In addition, the vision we had previously determined that the Warwick did not attack f6, so in this case it must have started with blue.

This way you can just sneak through the bushes behind the blue buff.

"Has it passed?"

"You can cross it. He will definitely be greedy in this wave."

Li Yi had almost figured out Ximen's thoughts.

He must want to finish the third wave, go home, update his equipment, and then teleport up.

Basically, once the armor yellow book is released, the pressure on the laning side will be much less.

As long as I can make the transition comfortably, I have already figured out how to kill myself.

Therefore, Ximen will definitely not leave, and will force himself to finish this wave with only 400 health points.

"Simon had no idea the nightmare was coming!"

"That's true... Nightmare's ability to catch people is quite weak. In this situation, he wouldn't think that he would be killed by a tower diver in the defense tower."

"It's still easy to kill the enemy by crossing the tower with two people's damage."

The three commentators in the commentary booth analyzed the comments one by one.

The commentator from the Taiwan region also noticed this scene and started shouting.

"Ximen Ye said he didn't notice Nightmare coming to catch him! This wave is still quite dangerous!"

"Can Mountain realize it?"

But seeing that the Warwick was still attacking the red buff, I knew it was impossible.

No one at AHQ was aware of this.

Especially Lucian's position is more inclined to suppress the top lane.

It is obvious that they know that the Warwick is in the lower zone, and this position is to avoid being caught by the Warwick.

As for why we don’t put down wards, it’s because the lion dog has no ability to catch people.

Be cautious to avoid losing health.

At two minutes and fifty-seven seconds, GT Nightmare came out from behind.

Simon was completely stunned.

No, do we have to jump over the tower and kill them?
Especially since his health is not very healthy now.

Nightmare was not in a hurry to close the distance first.

It is still very easy to jump over a two-stage spring.

Walk up close and activate the q and e skills to bring out the taunt effect and then flash out of the range of the defensive tower.

Ximen no longer had control and could only watch as Lucian used his smooth W skill to cancel the backswing on the floor, and used his Q skill followed by a basic attack at the same time to easily activate his passive.

Combined with Nightmare's damage, Ximen's Clockwork's screen went black.

"First blood!"

first drop of blood!

The young fans at the scene couldn't help but stand up from their seats and immediately burst into warm cheers.

It was very easy to complete the tower dive and kill.

The home advantage was also reflected at this moment.

Judging from the performance in the qualifying round and the first group stage now, Lucian seems to be okay in the mid lane.

Establishing an advantage so early also made Wawa, Miller and Su Xiaoyan very excited.

The rhythm is right. As long as we continue like this and break through the middle lane, we can win the game easily.

But seeing that Nightmare, who was less than half health, was still staying near the middle lane, made everyone curious. Could it be that he was planning to kill by crossing the tower?
Look at the time, Clockwork's resurrection plus teleportation, the skills are just right.

But would this be too risky a choice?
Ximen landed and looked at the nightmare that appeared again behind him, and was stunned for a moment.

But at this time, Lucian had already attracted the hatred of the defensive tower with his basic attack!

At this time, Nightmare with his q skill goes straight to the face and follows up with his e skill.

It was obvious that Nightmare entered the tower well prepared and had no intention of living!

It means to forcibly replace Clockwork's head.

This time Simon was also in trouble. Although he took the 300 pieces of money from Nightmare, he was still killed by Lucian.

The damage was calculated just right, the e skill was used to hit two basic attacks, and then flashed out of the range of the defensive tower. At this moment, red and blue buffs lit up on Lucian's feet!
Buff transfer technique!

Not only that, but the two kills were an explosive development.

Although Clockwork got the kill.

But in fact, the normal development only requires that much economy, and after using the teleportation, a lot of experience is lost.

Because Li Yi's health was very healthy, he was able to stay and continue pushing the line.

At this time, the director gave the camera to Wushuang, and you can see that his face was full of smiles.

Simon had a bitter face.

No, he had never seen a game played like this before.

what?

The jungler completely sacrificed himself to help the mid lane establish an advantage. Is this something a human can do?
Have you been thinking about being a dog from the beginning?
You're such a jerk! You're so cool!
