Chapter 263 BDD in full bloom!

Chapter 263 BDD in full bloom!

The passionate background music rang out, with drum beats and strings interweaving, instantly igniting the hot atmosphere in the Zenith Stadium in Paris.

The host couldn't hold back his excitement. His powerful voice spread through the surround sound system to every corner of the venue: "Ladies and gentlemen! Let's welcome the semi-final teams. First up is Kingzone DragonX from the LCK region!"

In an instant, the aisle in front of the stage was illuminated by bright lights, like a star-studded avenue leading to glory.

The entrance to this mid-season semi-final is unique.

In previous mid-season tournaments, players entered the venue in a conventional way, but this time, the players will enter from the front passage.

The front aisle went straight through a long auditorium.

As the contestants walked along the aisle, there were towering spectator stands above their heads and enthusiastic spectators on both sides.

They leaned closely against the railing, their bodies slightly leaning forward, their arms stretched straight out, their palms facing up, expectant smiles on their faces, their eyes closely following the footsteps of the contestants.

Whenever a contestant passes by, they will reach out and give the audience a friendly high-five before the game.

This way of entering is similar to the atmosphere of contestants entering a ring, both of which are full of ritual and interactivity.

For the audience, they are no longer just spectators watching from afar. Those who buy tickets to enter the venue are no longer just watching the game, but participating in it in person and gaining a stronger sense of experience.

For the contestants, when entering the venue, they can hear the deafening cheers of the audience and feel the support and encouragement conveyed by pairs of enthusiastic hands. This is undoubtedly a powerful spiritual encouragement, making them full of fighting spirit and boosting their confidence before the competition.

For Riot Games, the event organizer, this is a bold attempt.

As competition in the e-sports industry becomes increasingly fierce, they need to continue to innovate and increase the attractiveness of their events.

If this entry method works well and wins unanimous praise from the audience and contestants, then this model can be used in the upcoming global finals, which will attract more attention.

The KZ team moved forward along the passage, and the cheers from the audience were like surging waves, coming towards them one after another.

The European audience was very enthusiastic. Although the local team FNC was not participating, it was undoubtedly a visual feast for the audience to witness the two top teams meet in the semi-finals in advance, and they were naturally very much looking forward to it.

At this moment, the host raised his voice, his voice full of anticipation and excitement: "Next, let us welcome the GT team from the LPL region!"

In an instant, the eyes of the entire audience were focused on the entrance to the passage, and the cheers of the audience were deafening.

In the romantic city of Paris, the passion for e-sports is boiling because of the GT team. This Grand Slam team is like a shining star, attracting the attention of e-sports fans around the world and gathering popularity beyond imagination.

Many spectators traveled thousands of miles just to witness the GT team's heroic performance on the field.

At this moment, at the contestant channel, Li Yi was leading the way.

He stood tall and straight, his steps were steady, and every step he took exuded the aura of a strong man.

He raised his hands high, and with his signature nonchalant smile, he enthusiastically high-fived each of his fans.

The railings on both sides of the aisle were already packed with fanatical fans, and there were densely packed heads.

Their eyes were sparkling with excitement and admiration. Many of them even ignored the long distance and stretched out their arms as far as they could, just to touch Li Yi's hand and feel the warmth of their idol.

"Sease! Sease!" The deafening shouts came one after another, continuously, as if they were going to overturn the dome of the entire stadium.

These calls filled with love and respect demonstrate Li Yi's irreplaceable position in the hearts of fans.

There is no doubt that his popularity in Paris has far surpassed that of the entire KZ team that appeared earlier, and he has become the well-deserved focus of this e-sports feast.

In the official domestic live broadcast room, a commentary lineup was carefully arranged for this much-anticipated semi-final.

This time, the golden combination that was loved by the audience in the past was not used. Instead, Haokai, Wang Duoduo and Rita were sent out.

The reason why the authorities made such a decision is actually to have long-term considerations for training new talents.

In her past commentary experience, Zhou Shuyi's performance failed to meet expectations and it was difficult to fully satisfy the audience and officials.

Since Rita joined the LPL commentary desk last year, she has performed fairly well and basically met the passing line with her stronger understanding of the game and increasingly mature commentary style. This also gave her the valuable opportunity to partner with a senior commentator to take over Su Xiaoyan's position and further demonstrate her commentary ability.

In order to improve the professionalism and depth of the commentary, the official also specially invited retired player Shen Chao as a guest.

Shenchao has impressed the audience in professional competitions with his outstanding laning skills and unique tactical understanding.

Now that he has come to the commentary booth, his rich practical experience and professional gaming perspective are exactly what Wang Duoduo and Rita lack.

After all, Haokai has been a professional player and a coach before, so he has a certain level of ability.

Rita stared at the crazy scene in the Zenith Arena in Paris on the live screen, her eyes shining. She couldn't suppress her inner excitement and shouted excitedly at the top of her voice: "Is the popularity of the show god in Paris so exaggerated?" Her voice was full of amazement. She thought she had enough understanding of the influence of the show god Li Yi, but the scene before her still shocked her.

Wang Duoduo stood aside with a proud smile on his face. He nodded solemnly and took over the conversation, saying, "Of course, Xiu Shen's popularity around the world is already extremely exaggerated!"

As he spoke, images of the God of Show turning the tide in various international competitions emerged in his mind involuntarily. Those highlights have long been deeply imprinted in the hearts of e-sports fans around the world.

In fact, there was something in his mind that he almost blurted out: Xiu Shen is already the number one player in the League of Legends.

When the words came to his lips, he paused abruptly. Thinking of the equally legendary three-time champion Faker, he suddenly came to his senses, knowing that saying this in such a public occasion would definitely spark a heated debate.

Although in his heart, Xiu Shen's strength and achievements were not inferior to anyone else, at this moment, he rationally swallowed back this controversial statement.

At this time, Shen Chao, who had been listening quietly, nodded slightly and added: "Xiu Shen's operation and awareness are among the best even when compared with the world's top players.

His playing style is very entertaining, and he is incredibly stable in key games, so it is no wonder that he is so popular. "

Shen Chao's voice was low and steady. As a former professional player, he had a deeper understanding and insight into Li Yi's strength.

Haokai also said: "Besides, Xiu Shen led the team to win the Grand Slam. His achievements are there, so his ability to attract fans is naturally beyond doubt. In today's semi-final, everyone is looking forward to his show again!"

In the live broadcast room, the audience's comments were flying like snowflakes, and the screen was full of anticipation for the game. As the team entrance session ended, the atmosphere was still warm.

Considering that this was only the semi-finals, the opening ceremony was simple and concise. The host introduced the two teams quickly and fluently, without lengthy preparation or excessive flowery rhetoric, but simply mentioned the key information and major achievements of the teams. The introduction was completed in just a few minutes without wasting too much time.

Although the audience felt a little unsatisfied, they all understood that this was only the semi-finals, and everyone's attention was more focused on the fierce competition that was about to begin.

Everyone knows that if it is the mid-season finals, the opening ceremony will definitely be more grand.

Gorgeous stage effects, wonderful performances, and the possibility of famous singers being invited to attend will add more highlights and a sense of ceremony to the competition.

At this time, the players from GT and KZ have steadily arrived at the player seats and started the final equipment debugging.

“Welcome to the 2018 League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational semifinals! We are live in front of the Zenith Stadium in Paris, with more than spectators in attendance today!”

Wang Duoduo could not hide his excitement, and his voice unconsciously rose a few decibels. The high-pitched tone was transmitted through the air waves to every audience in front of the screen.

"You can imagine how intense the next game will be and how the atmosphere on the scene will be pushed to a climax."

Wang Duoduo continued, his tone full of anticipation for the game.

"Both teams have made sufficient preparations for this match. GT showed strong dominance in the group stage, winning ten games in a row to advance. Their teamwork and individual player abilities are amazing. As the champion of the LCK Spring Split, KZ will never give up easily, even though they did not perform well in the group stage. They are definitely determined to prove themselves in this semifinal."

His analysis was clear and logical, laying out the situations of both teams one by one, allowing the audience to have a deeper understanding of the background of the game and the strength of both teams.

“I believe that on such a stage, under the watchful eyes of so many spectators, the contestants will definitely go all out and bring us a wonderful game.”

Rita's words were full of trust and encouragement for the contestants, making the audience look forward to the arrival of this game even more.

The comments in the live broadcast room scrolled wildly, and viewers left messages to express their expectations.

[Can’t wait to watch the game! ]

【Support GT, you must win! 】

In the player's seat, Bdd skillfully completed the equipment debugging, and all parameters have been adjusted to the best state. At this time, the head coach quietly came behind him, leaned over slightly, and whispered in his ear: "How do you feel today?"

Bdd took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, a relaxed and happy expression on his face.

During this period, the coach has been encouraging him. Those words are like bowls of warm and powerful chicken soup, which unknowingly helped him get into better shape.

At this moment, he seemed to be full of strength, as if he had returned to his prime, and he firmly believed that today was the perfect opportunity to show his talents.

Especially being in this extraordinarily lively scene, the feeling of being the focus of tens of thousands of spectators made his blood boil.

He couldn't help but imagine how wonderful it would be if he could lead the team to win the game. This vision was like a flame, burning his fighting spirit.

Thinking of this, Bdd's eyes flashed with determination, and he nodded very confidently, saying in a steady and powerful tone: "There is no opponent that cannot be defeated. As long as we overcome the difficulties in front of us, the game can be won easily!"

Although his voice was not loud, every word revealed unquestionable determination, as if he had already grasped victory in his hands.

After hearing this, the head coach patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, his eyes full of encouragement and expectations, and turned around to check the preparations of other players.

Bdd once again turned his gaze to the screen, quickly sorting out the strategy for the upcoming game in his mind.

The man at the edge also nodded. Being in such a comfortable state, this semi-final must have something to say!
Doesn’t GT rely on the middle lane?
As long as their mid lane doesn't collapse, it will be easy for him to open up the situation in the top lane.

However...the lineup that GT sent out in the semi-finals did surprise him a little.

The top laner is GimGoon...not theshy.

You brought in a top-level blue-collar top laner, do you want me to be unable to break through the top lane?
The director's camera was like a nimble flying bird, lightly sweeping across the KZ player seat and accurately capturing Bdd's appearance.

At this moment, there seemed to be an invisible aura surging around him, full of fighting spirit. From his slightly tense jaw to the sharp light flashing in his eyes, it seemed to be announcing to the world that he was determined to win this game.

The camera turned to the GT team, where Lin Weixiang was seen shaking his head and muttering to himself.

In the live broadcast room, Rita saw this scene and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that we are not the only ones who are excited about waiting for this game. Even the contestants are looking forward to it."

As everyone was looking forward to it, the atmosphere on the scene reached its climax at the referee's command.

The picture on the big screen switched quickly, and in the blink of an eye it came to the exciting bp interface.

"Here they come! KZ on the blue side! GT on the red side!"

Shen Chao stared at the big screen, and analyzed in a calm and professional tone: "As the blue side, KZ has the advantage of choosing heroes first in BP. They are likely to target the system that GT is good at and grab some key heroes. For example, the jungle heroes that are strong in this version, the control of the early rhythm is crucial for them."

Haokai then added: "That's right, and KZ's top and jungle synergy has always been very threatening. Hanzige and Xiaohuasheng have a tacit understanding. They might formulate a BP strategy around the top lane and choose some heroes that can exert suppression power in the lane in response to GimGoon's play style."

KZ chose to remove Leblanc in the first hand. This hero is still a bit too scary.

BDD is very confident now though.

But he still felt more comfortable in the first game.

If the line collapses, won’t all the momentum be lost?

This has had a huge impact!

Naturally, GT will not release the strongest AD in the current version.

Kaisa is banned!
