The National Stadium, a venue that can accommodate 90,000 people to watch the game, is now packed with people!

Previously, the LPL officials thought that the number of participants might exceed 50,000, but they never expected that the tickets would be sold out in just five days, with a total of 94,999 tickets sold.

If there were more space... it would not be impossible to have more people.

Even though investors are aware that the influence is already extremely exaggerated, they still find it outrageous that nearly 100,000 tickets can be easily sold for a single game.

After all, they would be happy if they sold 10,000 or 20,000 tickets for their concert...

The theme song of the S7 World Finals "Legend Will Never Die" was officially performed at the Bird's Nest!

In the National Stadium, the grand scene of the opening ceremony mesmerized the audience.

The huge holographic image brings the dragons of all sizes in Summoner's Rift to life before everyone's eyes. The realistic effect seems to instantly pull people from the real world into Runeland, giving them a strong sense of being there.

Audiences around the world who were watching the broadcast were also deeply shocked, and the screens were filled with amazement and praise.

The opening ceremonies of previous global finals pale in comparison.

After witnessing all of this, Riot Games President Ryze, who was present at the event, could not help but feel deeply moved and said that choosing China as the venue for the S7 World Finals was a wise move.

The influence of this final has grown exponentially compared to the past, and has reached a new height that will be incomparable to other competitions!

The unveiling ceremony took about fifteen minutes. Accompanied by cool lights, Ren Dong appeared in the center of the stage wearing a blue suit.

And next to him is the global finals championship trophy that all League of Legends professional players yearn for!
Glittering in the light.

The audience couldn't control their gazes and all focused on the championship trophy.

At this moment when everyone was paying attention, Ren Dong calmly picked up the microphone with a warm smile on his face. His voice spread through every corner of the venue through the speakers: "Hello, summoners from all over the world!"

He paused for a moment, looked around, and then raised his voice, "Here is the magnificent China National Stadium Bird's Nest!"

"At this moment, the curtain of the 2017 League of Legends World Championship is about to open, and the peak showdown is about to begin. Who will be able to hold up the championship trophy and be crowned as the strongest king of 17 years? Let us wait and see!"

"First of all, let us welcome the GT team from the LPL region!"

As soon as Ren Dong finished speaking, the scene was instantly drowned out by deafening cheers.

There were more than 90,000 spectators, a huge sea of ​​people, 80% of whom were Chinese fans. At this moment, they were shouting at the top of their lungs, and their shouts formed a surging wave that almost overturned the dome of the venue.

The GT team was originally the favorite to win the world championship. Along the way, they shined on the stage of the global finals. Those brilliant operations and extreme comebacks have already impressed a large number of spectators from other regions.

Not to mention the team's mid laner Li Yi. In this version where the mid lane was severely nerfed and heroes had a hard time performing, he managed to dominate and become an outlier on the field.

Even many Korean audiences were attracted by his actions and quietly turned into fans, but they did not dare to show it.

At this moment, when Ren Dong shouted out the ID "sease" with full energy, the Bird's Nest was completely boiling. Fans held up their cheering signs, jumped, and roared, pouring all their enthusiasm into this shout!

Li Yi also waved to the audience excitedly.

Coming here to play the game made it difficult for him to calm down...

This is a bird's nest!
After introducing the GT team, Ren Dong also began to introduce the second finals team, the current three-time champion SKT!

"Next, please welcome the 2013 World Championship champion, the 2015 World Championship champion, and the 2016 World Championship champion SKT!"

Although most of the audience supported the GT team from the domestic division, when SKT came on the stage, the more than 90,000 people at the scene still did not hesitate to applaud and cheer, showing their magnanimity.

After all, SKT is a veritable legendary team in the League of Legends tournament. The three championship trophies are extremely important and are a pinnacle that countless teams cannot reach.

In China, Faker has a huge number of fans. In the past, when LPL teams were eliminated early, many viewers turned their attention to SKT to watch Faker show off his amazing skills. Naturally, the more they pay attention, the more addicted they become.

After all, he was covered in glory and full of vigor on the stage at that time. He used Leblanc, Zed, and Ryze to kill all his opponents and created many famous scenes.

Until now, when people think of the ending, they can’t help but think of the scene where the player was killed while having full health.

As soon as the finals came, you could see his high-spirited face.

But this time, the situation was completely different. Faker lowered his head slightly, his expression no longer as frivolous as before, the beads of sweat on his forehead were particularly conspicuous under the lights, and his steps were no longer as brisk as before.

The version changes, plus the GT team's aggressive momentum, the brilliant performances they have performed along the way are still vivid in our minds, plus the poor condition of the teammates, it is really an internal and external trouble.

This made the big devil feel pressured. He secretly clenched his fists, looked up at the championship trophy, and a trace of determination flashed in his eyes.

He wants to win his fourth championship!

Lift the fourth championship trophy!
His eyes were full of fighting spirit.

In live broadcast rooms around the world, as soon as the screen switched to the grand scene at the Bird's Nest, comments flooded in like a tide, instantly filling the screen. Audiences of different skin colors and nationalities were all ignited by the same passion.

European and American audiences typed in capital letters all over the screen: [SKT VS GT, THIS IS GONNA BE LEGENDARY! (This matchup is definitely legendary)], mixed with fancy praise for Faker, hoping that he will create more highlights. Of course, Li Yi's fans were also very unhappy after seeing this, and directly fought back, saying that they were all trash living in the past.

Korean viewers left messages eagerly, worrying about SKT's condition but also confident that the big devil would not be defeated easily. [Faker Fighting! ] The fourth championship must be won, and the screen was repeatedly refreshed.

The domestic live broadcast room was even more lively, with colorful and fast-rolling comments. LPL fans shouted passionately, "GT, go ahead, keep the championship in the LPL region, and win the first global finals championship for the LPL league."

It is amid all these expectations that the global finals officially kicked off!
……

The lpl commentary booth even sent out a luxurious five-player lineup.

There is the Haier Brothers group to liven up the atmosphere, plus Shenchao and PDD, two retired players who do tactical analysis.

Last time’s celebrity guest Li Jiahang also appeared in the commentary booth.

Before the game even started, his face was already filled with excitement.

The five of them sat in the official commentary seats, and it didn't seem crowded.

"Hello, audience friends. This is the 2017 World Championship Finals. I can really feel the passion of the audience here. I believe everyone is eager for the competition to begin. Our players are also doing the final adjustments now."

"Yes, I had a premonition today as well... This is definitely a day to witness a miracle of LPL!" PDD doesn't care about that. As a retired anchor, he has nothing to worry about, and the persona he created is for the good of the LPL region.

This is also consistent with his personality.

At this time, there were quite a few viewers in the live broadcast room who became fans of PDD because of what he said.

Shenchao lost because of this move: he doesn’t know how to speak politely.

But for him, as long as he can make enough money from live streaming to survive, it’s enough.

Of course he also hopes that GT can win the championship.

It's really a pity that lpl has not won a championship so far.

The closest he got to the championship.

At this moment, I also recalled the scene of the global finals four years ago.

"Yeah, I also think there's a good chance. When I was greeting the GT team backstage just now, my confidence was about to burst out."

"It's really exaggerated, but the results that GT team has achieved are also extremely exaggerated, so this situation is understandable."

After all, we haven't lost a single game in the global finals and have been winning all the way until now.

In the semi-finals, he even crushed Crown Brother...

Samsung tried every possible means, but there was still no solution.

……

The LCK region also had their own commentary seat at the global finals.

The faces are also familiar faces, CT brother, Kim Dongjun, and the Roaring Emperor.

"Although SKT did not perform well against GT in the previous game, I believe they have fully adjusted to their current state in the finals... Faker, hold up your fourth trophy! Build a new legend in League of Legends! Build a new legend in the LCK region!"

……

The screen went black for a second, and then light came on the next second.

As soon as you enter, you will see the game screen between SKT and Samsung.

This was last year's global finals.

SKT fought with Samsung for five rounds, and finally won the fifth round, defeating Samsung and winning the global finals championship.

Holding the cup now!

The narrator even shouted in an excited tone.

"This is their third time winning the World Championship!"

Then it appeared in the following scene.

Li Yi stood under the birch forest. There was a subtle buzz around him, but he seemed to be out of it. He spoke slowly, "Do you know? The match in 14 when Royal Club lost. SKT was unstoppable and Royal Club was shut out. At the end of the match, Shen Chao sat down on the chair with a numb face."

"That scene, like a thorn in my heart, will never be forgotten. The light shone on their lonely figures, and I thought, if one day I step into the professional arena, I must win them all!"

Li Yi took a deep breath, straightened his back, and looked into the distance with a sharp gaze like a falcon: "For countless days and nights afterwards, I worked hard in the training room. I was questioned, injured, and failed... But every time I wanted to give up, that scene would flash through my mind. Now, I am finally standing on the final stage of the global finals!"

He raised his voice, and said with a loud voice: "I am here for those who have failed and cannot come back; for those players who have retired with regrets; and for the supreme glory of LPL! In this battle, I will never retreat!"

Other GT team members gathered from all directions.

It was at this moment that everyone realized that what Li Yi was looking at in the distance... was the entire SKT team!

Faker stood at the front and the two sides were in direct confrontation.

Combined with the background music provided by Riot, the atmosphere is immediately maxed out.

Then Peanut said, "I joined this team just to lift the Summoner's Cup! I had a lot of regrets in last year's World Championship, which made me really want to lift the Summoner's Cup."

Wushuang: "We come to the World Finals with only one goal! To win the championship! Everything is for the sake of winning!"

Gingon: “Lifting the World Championship trophy seems like a distant dream, but this year it seems like we are one step closer to this dream.”

It is worth mentioning that Jin Gong said this in Chinese, not Korean.

Wolf: "The World Finals are our home ground. When we won three championships, I thought no other team would be able to break this record. It's like you are writing history. This is an honor for me. Winning three championships makes our team's history four championships!"

Liu Qingsong: “It’s great to have come this far… I hope I can win this championship.”

Cheng Lu then said in Chinese: "I'm glad to have the opportunity to make history!"

At this moment, Faker appeared alone in the center of the video, his eyes full of murderous intent.

As for the screen, it also includes footage of Clockwork using his ultimate move to pull people in at last year's World Finals.

The narration given by the fist filled his row.

SKT is the strongest team in the history of League of Legends, and it's all because of that one guy!

Faker: "I am a legend in the League of Legends arena, with three world championship trophies in my hands. Many amazing people have tried to pull me down from the altar, but in the end they all became footnotes on my road to winning the championship.

The famous scenes I created, Leblanc's extreme operation and Zed's amazing counter-kill, have long been engraved into the history of this game. Come on! Sease, let me see where your limit is? "

It's very domineering, but there's nothing wrong with what he said considering the achievements he has made.

At the end, the camera kept slowing down Li Yi's turning back.

Then the Summoner's Trophy appeared in the center!
The two teams stared at each other across the Summoner's Trophy.

Boom!
The climax of "The Legend Will Never Die" also ends!

The screen officially comes to the bp interface.

In an instant, the scene was completely boiling, screams and cheers intertwined into a surging wave, and the volume soared to the limit!
More than 90,000 spectators were like a surging crowd, waving their cheering sticks in the air, creating a storm of red and blue light and shadow. Looking around, most of the signs had "GT Go!" written on them.

The huge photo hung in the center of the venue captured the glorious moment when Li Yi won the Mid-Season Championship. He held the trophy high with a bright light in his eyes.

Wawa in the commentary booth was also ignited by the enthusiastic atmosphere and shouted excitedly at the top of his voice: "Here it comes! All summoners, the League of Legends World Finals, the first game between GT and SKT, officially begins now! SKT on the blue side; GT on the red side."

This was also a bit of bad luck, as SKT successfully got the priority to choose the side in the draw, which allowed them to be on the blue side for three games.

This plot is a bit like the mid-season game.

GT must win a game on the red side so that everyone won't be under so much pressure.

Therefore, whether you can win the game in the first game is very crucial.

PDD sat in the commentary booth, leaning forward, his eyes fixed on the first round of BP between the two sides on the big screen.

When I saw the blue side SKT ban the Juggernaut without hesitation.

He subconsciously raised his hand and touched his shiny bald head, grinning and jokingly said, "Oh my, SKT's banning really shows their intentions! Sease's Blademaster was killing like crazy in the semi-finals, his operation was so impressive that it made the opponent's scalp numb. It was a very eye-catching performance."

"They are obviously very afraid of the Juggernaut system. They killed Juggernaut right at the start. This is also a good thing for us, as it can leave more systems. SKT wasted a ban slot."

"Yes, the jungler system has probably not been fully researched yet, so they definitely don't dare to let it go."

"GT banned Kalista normally, there is no problem with that."

SKT also banned the last two heroes very quickly, Tristana and Lucian.

GT banned Jayce in the second round.

The third hero choice has not been decided yet.

Li Jiongjun stared at the screen. SKT banned Tristana and Lucian one after another. The purpose was very obvious. He reacted in an instant and whispered, "SKT is probably going for Galio! Faker is very good at supporting and obviously hopes that he can control the rhythm of the whole game." As he said that, he subconsciously looked at Li Yi beside him.

Li Yi lowered his eyes and thought for a moment: "SKT's plan is to use Xayah and Rakan to forcefully trade for Galio.

We don't have any AD heroes to put pressure on the mid lane, so it's clear that we trust in Faker's roaming support.

Since they are so sure, let's just pick Xayah and Rakan. They can suppress the opponent in lane and are more powerful in teamfights. We have all the advantages. It depends on whether Galio can run. "

Li Jiongjun nodded without hesitation and raised his hand to lock the lock: "Okay, let's do it!"

Jin Gong lightly clicked the mouse and banned the Jarvan II directly in the third hand, blocking SKT's possible jungler's forced opening system.

After all, this is a jungler that works very well with Galio.

Sure enough, SKT directly locked on Galio in the first round of hero selection.

"Grab Galio first! Faker played Galio really well, winning five games in a row in the semi-finals... The Colossus was at the top, blocking RNG at the door of the finals. It felt like SKT got this hand a bit too easily." Shenchao frowned slightly.

"But it's okay to do this bp on the red side."

PDD nodded.

"Yes, GT was not polite and directly took down the Xayah and Rakan combination. This is a big advantage in the bottom lane."

In the second and third picks, SKT selected Gragas and Shen around Galio.

This also fits everyone's stereotype of Huni, that this guy doesn't know how to play with meat at all.

But with Gragas and Galio, there is no problem with tankiness.

Shen's entry cooperates perfectly with Galio.

GT took down Shen in the third hand.

Shen seems to be a little restrained by Shen's true damage, but in fact he has a huge advantage in laning, especially in the first nine levels.

Shen hasn't yet made Triple Phase and Hydra, and is no match for Shen at all.

In the second round of BP, GT directly targeted the support and banned Lulu and Braum.

SKT banned Taliyah and Asoka.

After all, the mid lane hasn’t been released yet, so we still have to avoid strong heroes.

GT locked in Zac in the fourth pick, leaving the suspense of the mid lane until the end.

SKT has determined the bottom lane combination, Varus and Leona.

Seeing this female tank, everyone became very sensitive.

Because the Bunny Team used this War Enthusiasm Female Tank to tear open a hole in the bottom lane.

Wawa leaned forward, his eyes fixed on the screen, and spoke first: "SKT's choice of Leona is strange! Guess what style they're playing? Is it the regular Colossus to protect people in team fights, or is it Dreaming of the Bunny Team and choosing War Fervor to suppress the laning phase?"

Miller pushed his glasses up, his expression serious. "Facing Xayah and Rakan, normal development must be quite stressful. I think it's possible to go for War Fervor and achieve unexpected results."

PDD laughed: "Oh, they dare to choose this way, they must have some ulterior motive."

"If it's War Fervor, you can trade aggressively in the early game and quickly gain an advantage by catching Xayah and Rakan's chances of last-hitting. If it's Colossus, Leona can play her role in teamfights to ensure Varus's stable output. It depends on whether GT's bottom lane can see through it and quickly adjust their play."

Shen Chao nodded slightly and continued calmly: "No matter what talent you choose, Luo's initiative to start a team fight, Xia's pulling and consumption, GT's bottom lane combination skill mechanism is there.

Stay stable in the early stages, and wait until your equipment is ready in the mid- to late-stage, so you can still fight in team battles. I'm just afraid that you'll be scared by the enthusiasm of war and become a little restrained, which would be really troublesome."

"But what kind of mid laner will use to fight Galio?"

Zac, Shen...the mid lane really needs a big core to supplement the damage.

But the problem is that Galio's ability to push the line in the early stage is very strong.

Then the hero selected must be effective.

"As for countering Galio, did Xiaohu use Grasshopper to counter him? But the effect was not very good that time." Shenchao still remembers it. In the semi-finals, Faker took Galio and Xiaohu used Grasshopper after him.

Although the idea is good, I was directly numbed by the restraint!

The e skill can show off various big moves, as for the effect of bugs and qe in clearing the minion line, you have to wait until the level reaches higher.

But by that time, no one knew where Galio had gone, and it was completely useless.

Good idea, Galio can't buy mercury.

But the fact is that he doesn't need mercury at all.

So Shenchao is really afraid that GT will come up with a trick.

Then this game will be really difficult.

It’s better to change to other more normal heroes.

"Sindra, right? Although Syndra doesn't have that much advantage against Galio, I think looking at the ID..."

"Yes, I think Syndra is indeed possible. There is definitely no problem with Show God's Syndra." PDD nodded after hearing Shenchao's words.

Everyone also thought about it, Li Yi got Syndra's dominance in the middle lane.

It really seems to be the best choice.

Li Jiongjun leaned slightly to the side, approached Li Yi, and asked in a low voice: "The first game is a crucial decision. Should we go straight for Vayne to catch them off guard, or play it safe and pick Syndra?"

Li Yi smiled: "We have already decided on Zac. Isn't this a good time to pick Vayne? SKT is stubborn about picking Galio, so let them think twice and be prepared to let us crush this hero."

Hearing this, Li Jiongjun understood what he meant and laughed out loud.

"That's fine."

Liu Qingsong on the side reacted very quickly. He clicked the mouse and instantly locked Wayne's avatar on the screen.

In the commentary booth, everyone was concentrating on analyzing the hero choices, with everyone talking at once, and the atmosphere was warm and tense.

At this moment, Vayne's avatar suddenly lit up on the screen, and several people froze in an instant as if they were cast under a spell, with a serious look of discussion still on their faces. The next second, their eyes widened in unison.

"Vayne!?" Four exclamations came out, the volume shaking the microphone and making it buzz.

Wawa was stunned and raised his voice first: "Vayne? Mid lane Vayne? This is totally unexpected!"

Miller also pushed up his glasses, his face full of disbelief, and stared at the screen to confirm: "Am I seeing this correctly?"

After a brief moment of daze, PDD raised his lips and cheered, "Wow, so domineering! How can a regular lineup be so exciting? Vayne goes mid and faces Galio. Sure enough, he uses his ultimate in the first game."

Because this hero is definitely in the middle lane and there is no suspense.

The Xayah and Rakan combination cannot be broken up. As for other positions, it is impossible for Shen to go to the top lane.

Shen Chao frowned slightly, but his eyes couldn't hide his excitement: "Vayne has long arms, strong mobility, and delicate operation. Maybe she can really achieve amazing results."

In the SKT match, kkoma was staring at the screen, reviewing his BP thinking, but suddenly he saw the opponent locking on Vayne, his face suddenly changed, and he was stunned for a moment. After a short blank in his mind, a bad premonition rushed into his heart, and his brows twisted into knots.

The thunderous cheers from the scene poured in through the headphone line, making people feel uneasy.

He didn't care about anything else, and quickly raised his hand to pat Faker's shoulder, and said in a hurried and low voice: "Sang Hyuk's Vayne is a bit weird, be careful to deal with it, don't let yourself be caught in the laning flaws, stabilize in the early stage, and look for opportunities in the mid-to-late stage."

Faker nodded slightly, his expression solemn, took a deep breath, flexed his fingers with both hands, and murmured softly: "Don't worry, I understand."

He was well aware of his opponent's strength, and this black technology also put him under considerable pressure.

"As long as our lineup targets Vayne, it feels pretty easy to beat." Before leaving, kkoma did not forget to cheer everyone up.

In this way, the lineups of both sides are determined.

SKT on the blue side: top lane Shen, jungle Gragas, mid lane Galio, bottom lane duo Varus and Leona.

Red side GT: Shen on top, Zac on jungle, Vayne on mid, Xayah and Rakan on bottom lane.
