Chapter 283 Sease is my opponent!

All preparations are ready and the Intercontinental Championship will be held as scheduled.

The Dalian Sports Center was bustling with activity. All 18,000 seats were filled, and the enthusiasm of the audience filled the entire venue with a tense and exciting atmosphere.

Suddenly, a fist logo flashed on the big screen. In an instant, lights on the scene flickered, bringing the atmosphere to its climax.

Yu Shuang, dressed in a green cheongsam, appeared in the center of the stage with a graceful figure.

She raised her lips, showing a sweet smile, and greeted the audience warmly. After a wonderful opening speech, Yu Shuang raised her voice and shouted: "Welcome the representatives of the 12 teams to the stage!"

As soon as he finished speaking, cheers and screams rang out. The first person to appear on the field was Li Yi, representing GT.

He walked with steady steps, an upright posture, confidence in his eyes, and every step seemed to be stepping on the heartbeats of the audience.

The lights followed him, and fans shouted his name excitedly, and the voices gathered into a powerful wave that almost blew off the roof of the stadium.

It is only natural that the audience reacted so enthusiastically.

After all, this is the home court of LPL, and every audience member is the most enthusiastic fan of LPL.

Looking back on the past, although LPL was regarded as a top-level region, it has always been under pressure from not having a global finals champion and has been subject to doubts and ridicule from the outside world.

It was not until the GT team lifted the global finals championship trophy, which symbolizes the highest glory, that the deadlock was completely broken for the LPL.

Since then, the GT team has carried the love and expectations of countless LPL fans, and the number of fans has grown exponentially, far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

The current GT team is in great form and is on the way to a second Grand Slam. If they succeed, they will surely become a legendary team in the history of League of Legends e-sports.

It is understandable that such a team with unlimited possibilities has such high popularity today.

In the Dalian Sports Center, fans expressed their firm support and enthusiasm for the GT team with the most enthusiastic cheers.

The overwhelming screams and shouts that followed really surprised everyone from the LMS region.

Recalling the last time at the Kaohsiung venue, whenever a team from the LPL region took the stage, the audience had no reaction at all. It was as if a cold violence was being inflicted, forcibly excluding the LPL team. The scene was both embarrassing and chilling.

But at this moment in the Dalian Gymnasium, the atmosphere is completely different.

When M17's mid laner Apex appeared on the stage in a dashing manner, the audience instantly erupted in warm cheers and thunderous applause.

Especially those who had been making big statements before the game and vowed that the teams from the LMS region would not be welcomed, now felt a burning pain on their faces and were slapped in the face by reality.

We are all Chinese and should share the same roots and work together. But why was it that some people in Kaohsiung at that time could not change the mindset and insisted on creating barriers?

This is really puzzling, and full of doubts and helplessness lingering in my heart. Can regional differences really be a reason to prevent everyone belonging to the same Chinese nation from living in harmony and cheering for the e-sports that we all love?

The answer is obviously no. In this passionate and enthusiastic e-sports arena, there should be no unwarranted prejudice and indifference.

The CCTV reporter under the stage also recorded this scene. There is no doubt that this is a very good picture.

Afterwards, representative players from other teams took to the stage one after another.

When the star players from the LCK region appeared, the scene was filled with screams and cheers. The warm atmosphere was in no way inferior to when the representatives of the LPL region teams appeared. The audience welcomed every e-sports player who came from afar with the same enthusiasm, truly treating everyone equally.

Even so, it was still slightly inferior to the frenzy caused by Li Yi's appearance.

Even when the three-time champion Faker stepped onto the stage, the cheers from the crowd were deafening, but there was still a certain gap compared to the cheers caused by Li Yi.

If there are no fans supporting the team even at home, it means that the division has completely fallen apart and has long been a mess.

Fortunately, this situation has not occurred at the moment. GT won the World Championship last year, and things have changed. Next, they will win all the championships and completely dominate the League of Legends...

Li Yi had already made such preparations.

We must completely win the championship of the event.

Under the eager gaze of the audience, the twelve teams have already taken their positions. The atmosphere on the scene is getting more and more heated, as if the air is burning.

At this time, Yu Shuanglian moved lightly, her figure was graceful, holding the microphone in her hand, with a sweet smile on her face, and her clear and pleasant voice instantly spread throughout the venue: "Okay, audience, the top twelve teams from the three major regions of LPL, LCK, and LMS have all assembled!"

Her words were full of excitement and anticipation. "In the next four days, they will fight hard here. Every match will be a clash of strength, and every confrontation will be full of suspense. Who will stand out and win the highest honor of the strongest division in Asia? Let us wait and see!"

After a brief pause, Yu Shuang's eyes sparkled and she announced loudly: "Now, let's light up the zone icons together!"

In an instant, the lights on the scene focused, and on the big screen, the icons representing the three major competition areas lit up one after another, dazzling.

The light not only illuminated the entire venue, but also ignited the audience's deep desire for the game.

The audience at the scene showed the enthusiasm of the Northeast people to the fullest. Their shouts were so loud that they shook the sky, and the sound waves were like surging waves, one after another.

As soon as the four representative players from the LCK region appeared on stage, they were shocked by the overwhelming momentum.

The fierceness seemed to break through the sky, and the momentum was so huge that they could not resist for a moment.

I saw one of the contestants staggering, looking frightened, and almost falling to the ground.

Kiin also widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief, and his body instinctively shrank back. Another contestant opened his mouth and couldn't say a word for a long time, obviously frightened by the scene.

Fortunately, Faker is indeed a legendary player who has been through many battles. He stood tall and straight, firmly at the front, with a firm gaze, like a stabilizing force.

If he hadn't been there to hold the fore, the other three people would probably have been knocked to the ground by the powerful sound wave.

Yu Shuanglian took light steps and walked towards the steps. Her figure looked even more graceful under the colorful lights.

Then, she raised the microphone high and shouted in a loud voice: "The 2018 League of Legends Asia Intercontinental Competition has officially begun!"

This voice, like an exciting war drum, completely opened the curtain of this e-sports event. The cheers from the scene were once again pushed to a new climax. The enthusiasm of the audience was completely ignited, and everyone couldn't wait to witness the first battle of this top Asian e-sports showdown.

……

The broadcast screen instantly jumped to the live broadcast room.

Rita was seen wearing fashionable e-sports style clothing, with exquisite makeup, her eyes full of anticipation for the competition. Wang Duoduo looked very professional, and kept writing down key points in his notebook with the pen in his hand. The guest star Zhang Binbin next to him, although in the e-sports live broadcast room, seemed particularly dedicated because of his love for the game and the homework he had done in advance.

Wang Duoduo spoke first. His voice was full of passion, breaking the brief silence in the live broadcast room: "Dear audience friends, now let's talk about the version situation of this competition." As he said that, he looked at the version update data chart on the screen.

Rita took over the conversation and added: "Yes, this version is adjusted by Riot designers after comprehensively considering the situation in each region."

Zhang Binbin also came forward and asked curiously, "I heard that this change is to make the game more balanced, right?"

Rita smiled and nodded in response: "Yes, Binbin, you are right. Sometimes the previous games ended too quickly, and the audience didn't get to see enough. This time, Riot wanted to give the disadvantaged side more opportunities to drag the game on, so as not to be completely defeated in the early stages."

Wang Duoduo went on to explain in detail: "For example, the strength of some heroes that are strong in the early stage has been appropriately weakened, while some heroes that are strong in the late stage have been strengthened. In this way, the disadvantaged side has more room for operation and development, and the suspense and viewing of the game are greatly improved."

In the live broadcast room, the audience also felt a little unhappy about the change in the version. Isn’t this a nerf for GT?

Everyone has seen how strong GT is in the early stages.

But if it continues like this, there won’t be anything good to see.

After all, Riot doesn't want to see a monopoly.

I thought Riot designers were being cunning, but I didn't expect they were waiting for them in the Intercontinental Championship. They are so cunning.

At this moment, on the competition stage of Dalian Sports Center, the players of EDG and M17 have already debugged their equipment. A thrilling contest is about to begin, and the BP phase has officially begun.

Familiar faces appeared one by one on the LPL commentary stand.

Wawa was still full of energy, his eyes showing anticipation for the game, while Shenchao was the silent one who let them recite the opening remarks.

Changmao sat aside. As a senior commentator from Taiwan, it was natural for him to commentate on the first day of the Intercontinental Championship.

Today's Changmao has become much smarter and knows clearly what he can and cannot say.

After all, he still wants to continue to make money in the booming LPL region.

Ever since the GT team won the world finals championship, the development prospects of League of Legends in LPL have become increasingly bright. No one wants to ruin their career in this fertile land because of inappropriate words.

Turning our attention back to the game stage, in the match between EDG and M17, M17's BP decision was shocking. They actually brought out the jungle swordsman. This choice instantly caught the attention of the audience and commentators.

Seeing this hero appear on the stage, everyone's thoughts involuntarily drifted back to sease's amazing jungler routine.

However, Riot Games responded quickly and soon imposed restrictions on the game mechanics. The jungler could no longer eat lane minions, which made the once popular jungler strategy difficult to reproduce.

But even so, M17's selection of the Swordmaster still added a lot of surprises and suspense to the game.

However, the situation of the game did not develop in the direction M17 expected.

Facing M17's lineup, EDG's younger brother handled it with ease.

Since he couldn't beat the popular Li Yi, facing the mid laner of the LMS region, the younger brother showed no mercy and directly took out his favorite Zoe.

As soon as the game reached level three, the Zoe operated by the younger brother showed strong suppression power and completed a single kill.

This scene instantly made the audience excited. In the audience, everyone couldn't help but sigh that in the LPL region, in addition to Sease's superb Zoe, Xiaodi's Zoe is also not to be underestimated. At least when facing the opponent in this game, this hero's performance is like a dimensionality reduction attack, showing the terrifying strength of the top mid laner in the LPL region.

Just after 29 minutes, the game situation became increasingly tense.

EDG launched a fierce attack on M17's middle lane high ground with the Baron Buff.

At this time, Zoe, who had been causing M17 headaches throughout the game, accurately shot a hypnotic bubble under the highland tower, directly hitting M17's top laner Shen.

At this moment, it seemed as if time had frozen, with everyone's eyes focused on this crucial control.

The factory manager seized the opportunity and decisively activated his ultimate skill, then flashed into the field to start a team fight. His operation was done in one go, showing the decisiveness and courage of a veteran.

The Blue Steel Shadow was instantly killed under the concentrated fire and turned into a white light on the screen.

iboy controlled Hanbing and started to attack crazily with the bow jokingly called "scraping bow" by netizens.

Even though the damage seemed to be minimal, with the cooperation of the team, although iboy did not get a single kill, he still got a lot of assists. He is truly worthy of being called Han Bing's assistant!

The battle entered a white-hot stage, and M17 was defeated step by step. In the end, only Lucian was left in the team still resisting tenaciously.

EDG successfully completed a wonderful team battle of one for four, and then pursued the victory and advanced all the way to the front tower of M17.

Lucian, who was preparing to defend, seemed to have already been doomed to fail, as he was accurately put to sleep by Zoe's hypnotic bubble.

Zoe followed up with a set of damage, instantly killing Lucian controlled by Deul. This fatal blow also announced that the game was basically over.

EDG won the game without any suspense.

Both the audience on site and the LPL players in front of the screen were immersed in the joy of victory.

EDG took the lead and won a valuable point for the LPL region.

This point is not only a victory in a game, but also a strong proof of the strength of the LPL region.

Backstage at the Dalian scene, all LPL members gathered together.

At this moment, everyone sat around the table, applauding loudly to celebrate EDG's wonderful performance.

The factory manager had a serious look on his face when he came on stage, and he was fully committed to the game.

But when he returned to the backstage from the player channel, he was full of energy and high spirits, with his head held high, showing the style of a champion jungler.

Li Yi couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene. The factory director's transformation was really interesting. His seriousness during the game and his confidence after the game formed a sharp contrast.

The younger brother was still immersed in the joy of victory, with a happy smile on his face.

But when he saw Li Yi, his smile gradually disappeared.

In my mind, this game was just a victory over a "rookie mid laner" in the Intercontinental Championship. There was nothing to be overly happy about.

His goal is even greater. To defeat Sease, who is now at the peak of his career, is the glory he truly desires. (End of this chapter)
