Nanjing South Railway Station.
Su Cheng carried her backpack and walked out with the crowd.
She was wearing a black sweater and a pair of straight jeans with velvet, making her skin look fair and her figure tall and slender.
She looked down at the map on her phone and checked her location. Then, she looked up at the signs in the train station. After repeatedly confirming that there were no mistakes, she was ready to take the subway.
"I'll take Line 1 first, then get off at Andermen and transfer to Line 10 …" Su Cheng thought to herself.
She looked like a tourist who had just arrived.
In fact, this was not Su Cheng's first time in Nanjing.
Last year's LPL Spring Finals were held here.
The difference was that in 2017, it was held at the Olympic Sports Center. This year, it was held at Qingao Park.
The two places were separated by the Yangtze River.
There were quite a few passengers at the South Railway Station. Most of them were carrying suitcases, which took up a lot of space. Su Cheng walked around but could not find a seat. She simply stood by the handrail. After confirming that the transfer station was not short, she was relieved to browse the news on her phone.
With the S7 Bird's Nest Cup and YM's two consecutive championships, the domestic League of Legends e-sports flourished. Its popularity also rose steadily. The summer finals between YM and IG had attracted the attention of all parties.
It had to be said that Lin Yan and YM were now the password to the ratings. Tengjing could not wait for them to enter the finals every time to protect their KPIs and their year-end bonuses.
Now, the e-sports forums were full of discussions about the upcoming finals.
Su Cheng skimmed through and found a lot of interesting posts. In addition to the animation and photoshop, there were also more hardcore analysis posts.
One of them immediately caught her attention.
[A brief analysis of the semi-finals between YM and IG. From the combination of tactics and BP in the arena, see who has the best chance of winning?]
Just by looking at the title, it did not look like it was made up on the spot. Su Cheng listened to the sound of the subway station announcement and continued to scroll down.
[Both teams in the semi-finals defeated their opponents with a crushing score of 3-0. However, if you really want to compare who is better, IG is undoubtedly the easier one. The bottom lane developed steadily, the middle lane Broiler suppressed his junior, and the top lane broke through without any reason. I can't even see a glimmer of hope from EDG in the three games …]
At the bottom of the post were the statistics of the IG semi-finals. The Shy's average DPS per game was + 77, his average DPS was + 798, and his opponent's economy was + 4437!
When Su Cheng saw the numbers clearly, she couldn't help but feel shocked.
This level of data could only be described as outrageous.
[To be honest, I've never seen a top laner with such strong suppressive power in my life. This is a completely dimensionless attack. If Little Dai were to play a Gold or Silver game, he would probably have this kind of data. In front of The Hy, Ray is like a piece of paper that can be pierced with a poke. He doesn't pose any resistance at all.]
[YM's situation is more complicated. Although it's also 3-0, you can clearly feel that RNG has the ability to fight back. Rather than saying that they lost to YM, it's better to say that they lost to themselves. Their tactical focus changes back and forth. You can't figure out what the RNG coaches are thinking …]
After that, the original poster complained that RNG's tactical focus was extremely trashy. Only then did the post return to the main topic.
[On the BP, YM revealed a lot of things in the semi-finals. However, in my opinion, they were all experimental products, including the long-handed top laner and the attempt to steal Omen. The long-handed hero with the advantage of range is definitely not Jin Gong's specialty. Whether YM will continue to use it in the finals is still uncertain. However, they should also be looking for ways to counter this kind of long-handed top laner. Let's see how they perform in today's finals.]
[On the other hand, IG didn't reveal any tactics. They won by the book. It's only natural that they won smoothly.]
[Both sides are obviously hiding a lot of new things. Since the LCK Summer Finals and YM's semi-finals are on the same day, we can't see from Korea what kind of impact the popularity of Steal Omen will have on the top lane food chain.]
[However, looking at IG's summer competition this year, The Shy really likes to use long-handed heroes to suppress. I think he will definitely choose long-handed top laner in the finals. When the time comes, it will be a battle between spear and shield in the top half.]
There was a lot of writing at the end. He even posted the BP of both sides' semi-finals and analyzed them one by one. It looked like he put a lot of effort into it. Su Cheng continued to read patiently.
[YM's BP against RNG, other than Cheyenne, is more focused on the bottom lane. This is normal. Ouze has brought a lot of pressure to all the domestic ADCs this year. IG is used to banning duo teams in the first round. They let Old Thief Sima and Bao Lan choose heroes first to ensure that they won't be suppressed too badly in the top lane.]
[The other position will be given to a jungler or one of the top mid laners. It's important to note that if IG chooses a top mid laner hero in the first round, they will definitely choose a swing character. This way, they can still take the initiative in the second round.]
Su Cheng was very sure of this. Although she hadn't watched many games recently, her keen sense of smell made her realize this problem.
However, she didn't inform YM's competition department. Red Rice and Dog Ba would definitely be prepared for this kind of small detail.
In the end, the OP also came to a conclusion.
[The key to the finals is whether YM can control The Shy and Ning Wang. These two people are too aggressive. Normal teams can't stop them. Brother Ran is the least of their worries. However, if they only deal with Broiler, they won't be able to lead YM to victory. He has to set the pace himself in order to win IG.]
[All in all, YM's current situation is indeed not bad. However, IG is definitely not easy to deal with. Personally, I think that the chances are between 64% and 70%. YM has an advantage in these three areas: the coaching team, the players' mentality, and the ability to adjust. The longer today, the better it is for them because IG is very likely to make mistakes.]
In the comments below, most of the netizens supported YM. They were very eager to see Lin Yan lead the team to win the fifth Silver Dragon Cup.
Dog Ba's son didn't want to hide because the home team was in power. However, YM's fans were too many and had basically swept through all the major esports forums.
They could only hide their achievements and continue to wear the guise of fans of other teams and mingle in the forums.
At this time, Su Cheng heard that the train was about to arrive at Andermen Station. She quickly checked her backpack and prepared to get off the train and transfer to Line 10.
The train went directly to Qing 'ao Sports Park. Thus, Su Cheng saw many young people along the way. They were all discussing the upcoming game.
"YM's top lane, I think it's 3.5 vs 6.5. The jungler is 55% open, the middle lane is 6 vs 4, and the bottom lane is also 6.5 vs 3.5. If we calculate it this way, YM will definitely win!"
The boy standing next to Su Cheng was wearing the same team uniform as Lin Yan. He was still analyzing the strength of the players on both sides with his companions.
"Are you dreaming?" The person who was with him retorted. "IG's top half is definitely stronger than YM, okay?
This version is to fight for the top half. IG will win if they grasp this version! "
"Bullsh * t!"
The boy who looked like Lin Yan's hardcore fan spat out. "Isn't Jack + Liu Qingsong stronger than Old Thief Sima + Bao Lan?
Maybe IG's top half hasn't opened up yet, and the bottom lane has already been threaded! "
"What's the use of threading the bottom lane in this version?
Isn't it still a toy for the jungler? "
Su Cheng listened silently at the side. She wondered why there would be people wearing YM's team uniform on the train.
When the train arrived at the station, half of the train was empty. Su Cheng didn't need to identify the direction this time. She just followed the crowd. Not long after, she saw Qing 'ao Sports Park and the ticket inspection station.
She went in to buy a drink. She watched as the staff brazenly poured a bottle of Fruit Orange into a soft paper cup. Su Cheng took the drink without any surprise. Then, she went to the YM club staff to get the team support item. Finally, she found her seat in the front row of the inner field according to the information on the item.
Qing 'ao Sports Park was known as the largest stadium in Asia. It could accommodate more than 20,000 spectators. Because the stage of the finals was set in the center of the stadium, all four sides of the stands were open. There were no empty seats.
The stadium's lights were not turned off. Su Cheng could clearly see the center of the stage.
There stood a Summoner's Canyon!
The canyon covered a large area. It looked like it was more than ten meters long.
Defense towers, bushes, rivers … They were all restored. The production was very detailed. It was a spectacular sight.
Many spectators around Su Cheng had already taken out their phones, ready to take a few pictures of the Summoner's Canyon.
Outside the blue and red main Crystal of the Summoner's Canyon, there were two seats for the contestants.
This also symbolized the bases of both sides.
Su Cheng was facing the black and red team logo of YM. However, the contestants and equipment did not appear on the stage. It was empty.
It was getting closer and closer to three o 'clock in the afternoon.
The stadium was overcrowded. All 20,000 people had arrived!
The atmosphere of impatience and excitement quietly spread in the stands. Many people were discussing something in low voices. Suddenly, they gathered together to form a tidal wave of sound!
All the lights in the stadium suddenly went out. The dome was sealed, and no outside light could penetrate. The audience was in a state where they couldn't see their fingers in front of them. There were only sporadic mobile phones and the light from the signs.
At the same time, on the LED screen above the stage, a ten-second countdown appeared!
This instantly triggered heavy cheers in Qing 'ao Sports Park!
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
Tens of thousands of people at the scene shouted in unison, shouting the countdown to the final!
Su Cheng held the support stick in her hand and tapped it with the other audience to make a muffled sound to accompany the countdown.
The countdown sound became more and more spectacular. In the end, most of the audience joined in and shouted the last "one" in unison!
The LED screen above the stage also turned dark.
The scene instantly quieted down, and the volume dropped by dozens of decibels.
In an instant, the lights on the main stage lit up!
Accompanied by powerful electronic music, the dance troupe invited by Teng Jing began to perform.
Su Cheng watched for a while and frowned.
With her level of appreciation, this dance could only be described as a stream of consciousness.
Anyway, she didn't understand the specific meaning of the dance, nor did she see any beauty.
The audience next to her probably had the same idea as her. They glanced at the dance and then lowered their heads to play with their mobile phones.
Fortunately, this torture didn't last too long. After a few minutes, the dance that made Su Cheng feel a little embarrassed came to an end.
"Hello, Nanjing!"
A loud voice transmitted from the sound system to every inch of the venue. Ren Dong in a white suit appeared in front of everyone!
"Summoners at the scene, let me feel your enthusiasm, okay?"
Amidst the shouts of the audience, Ren Dong nodded with satisfaction and raised his voice. "This is the Nanjing Qing Ao Park Stadium. You are now watching the League of Legends' 7th anniversary celebration!"
"Today will be the 2018 League of Legends Summer Finals!"
He talked endlessly. "After a summer of fierce competition, as long as the two teams reach the end, they will come here today with only one goal, and that is to lift the Silver Dragon Cup!"
The dome spotlight fell and focused on the center of the Summoner's Canyon model.
The Silver Dragon Cup shone brightly under the light.
"Let us welcome the teams with the greatest enthusiasm!"
In the deafening sound of the audience, the top of the YM battle area not far from Su Cheng's position opened. The five starting players stood in a row, and the player seats slowly appeared in front of the audience through the elevator!
At the other end of the Summoner's Canyon, the five-man team of IG appeared in the same way.
The restless atmosphere in the stadium could no longer be suppressed. Now, it all gushed out and blended into the noise of the crowd!
"First of all … YM top laner Gimgun!"
Ren Dong dragged his words and shouted the ID of the first player to appear.
Jin Gong turned his back to the audience and greeted them. Then, he quickly left the player seats and went to the Summoner's Canyon on the stage.
He stood at the corner of the canyon, where the previous tower was.
Suddenly, there were a few screams in the stands. The thin and sharp voice was mixed in with the cheers and shouts, and it was particularly abrupt.
The screams seemed to have turned on some kind of switch, and they sounded one after another in the audience.
Su Cheng sat in the front row, still focused on watching the team's appearance. She had no idea what was happening behind her.
It wasn't until Jack's cousin raised his head and exclaimed in shock that she followed everyone's gaze and looked at the big screen above the stage!
This was a live broadcast to the whole world. Beside Jin Gong stood a tall man with a full beard.
He held a gun in his right hand and rested it on his shoulder. The iconic hat and ornaments made it easy for players to recognize him at a glance!
The disaster of the sea, Planck!
"Whether it's the fire or the deep sea, neither can take my life!"
With the excellent sound effects, the captain's selected lines echoed in Su Cheng's ears!
She looked at the venue again. Jin Gong stood alone on the red tower beside the stage. There was no sign of the captain around him.
AR technology.
Many audience members thought of this word.
In last year's global finals, the ancient dragon hovering above the bird's nest was one of the most memorable scenes for the audience. The shocking effect was maximized.
Now, AR technology was once again used in the Qing 'ao Park stadium. It was used to create the signature heroes of the ten players on both sides!
The bullet screen flew past like snowflakes, and the audience also kept expressing their inner excitement.
“IGTheShy！”
The thin Jiang Chenglu left the IG players' seats and rushed to the top lane. Finally, he stood in the top lane of the blue tower.
The light fell on him and covered his entire face. Only the high bridge of his nose was exposed under the light.
He was expressionless and his eyes were slightly closed. He seemed to be praying.
"Fight for a better tomorrow!"
In the live broadcast, the second battalion commander of Piltwoff, Jess, stood beside him with high fighting spirit.
Followed by Mongoose's Blind Monk and King Ning's Qing Gang Yin. Camille's legs looked extremely sharp in the live broadcast, making many people feel cold.
"Next, let's welcome YM … Ran!!"
Ren Dong used all of his strength to raise his arms and shout with a flushed face.
The scene was instantly boiling!
Lin Yan, who was standing in the YM players' seats, looked as usual. He waved to the audience in the stands.
This move was greeted with even more enthusiastic applause and screams!
Su Cheng also waved a support banner with a cartoon of her boyfriend's head and cheered for him.
Lin Yan deliberately looked at Su Cheng's seat during the rehearsal before the game, so he found her sitting in the front row immediately.
With a faint smile, he quickly walked to the middle of the Summoner's Canyon.
Along the way, the thunderous applause never stopped, making King Ning very envious.
Suddenly, a nine-tailed fox descended from the sky and landed beside Lin Yan.
She was dressed in ancient China's scarlet pleated clothes and looked like a witch. A pair of small ears broke open, dark red hair stood on top of her head, and a little yellow duck sat between her ears!
Ah Li moved her ears and looked around for a while before she relaxed her vigilance.
"Our hearts are connected, aren't we?"
The seductive voice sounded and aroused another round of enthusiastic cheers!
"Next up is IG Rookie!"
Ren Dong looked at the IG players' seats.
The leader of the dogs, the absolute core of IG, Song Yijin, puffed up his cheeks and stepped onto the stage. He greeted the audience with a bright smile.
Although the audience's applause was not as good as Lin Yan's, it was definitely not weak.
Other than the dogs, there were also many pure passersby who liked him very much.
Regardless of their home team's position, Song Yijin was one of the most popular professional players in the League of Legends. He was humble, hardworking, cheerful, and had good Chinese. His personal skills were pleasing to the eye, and he gave it his all in the game.
"My strength is endless!"
Beside Broiler was his signature Two Balls and One Princess, Sindra!
Then, the bottom lane duo of the two teams appeared on the stage one by one.
When Jack's Kesha and Liu Qingsong's Hammer Stone appeared beside the players, it also caused the audience to cheer!
"Let's wait and see whether YM will defend the throne or IG's new king will ascend the throne …" Ren Dong's voice was deep and powerful. "The 2018 League of Legends Pro League Summer Season Finals starts now!"
The dome lights flickered several times, shining on the ten players present, and then suddenly extinguished!
The opening ceremony ended.
The five players of YM returned to the players' seats under the guidance of the staff. The head coach, Red Rice, and the translator, Jiang Chenglu, also entered the battle zone. Everyone put on their soundproof headphones and prepared to adjust the equipment.
Su Cheng looked away and took a sip of orange juice.
However, the LED screen above the stage began to play the promotional video for the Summer Finals.
Lin Ran's figure appeared in the camera. He was in a brightly lit room, holding a glass in his hand. It was filled with water, and there were a few pieces of ice at the bottom of the glass.
He shook the glass, and the ice cubes made a crisp sound.
"Let me see," Lin Yan murmured. "How many challengers has this been?"
He looked at the paintings on the wall of the room.
The camera moved over, and the paintings showed the moment when YM won the LPL finals again and again. The name of the opponent's club was also displayed below.
Summer 2016, EDG.
Spring 2017, WE.
Summer 2017, RNG.
Spring 2018, RNG.
Summer 2018 …
The last painting was still blank.
He pushed the door open and left the room. He walked through the long corridor and opened another door.
It was more like a showroom.
Four Silver Dragon Cups, two MSI Trophies, two Summoner Trophies, and four Asian Games gold medals. Behind them were countless individual MVP trophies.
They were all placed on the stage, each with their own place.
Jack's eye-catching head suddenly appeared in the center of the camera, startling many of the audience.
"Challenger, come and see the trophy you gave us!" Shiba Inu hooked his finger and said in a very arrogant tone.
He took the glass of water and ice from Lin Yan's hand and drank it in one gulp.
The camera changed drastically. Liu Qingsong, Phyllostachys Pubescens, Jin Gong, and Lin Weixiang stood on the other side of the room.
They pointed their thumbs at the stage next to them.
"Look at what's written here?"
The camera moved over, and the words "Summer 2018 Silver Dragon Cup" could be clearly seen on the stage.
"Next challenger, are you ready to help us deliver the trophy?"
Lin Yan stood in the middle, and the rest of his teammates stood on both sides. The camera gradually moved down, looking up at the six players of the YM Club from bottom to top. This way, their silhouettes looked more oppressive.
The screen dimmed.
When it lit up again, it was in another room.
Song Yijin sat on a chair and looked at the large full-length mirror in front of him.
His face was still full of collagen, and it gave people the urge to take a bite.
His eyes were lifeless, as if he was in a daze.
The screen moved from Broiler's face to the full-length mirror.
On the other side of the mirror was a panel.
It was covered with words and pictures.
[IG always fantasizes before the competition every year, hehe.]
[What's there to look forward to now? Invincible complete form is just like this …]
[I'm really a fan of IG. Serves them right for not having the right to speak. Not only are the players the background of the competition, but even the fans are the background of the forum.]
[If Ning Wang doesn't change the jungler, I'll eat sh * t live if IG can enter the S League.]
['Send' Yijin to the Sea of Heroes, but in reality, he's just a hero who knows how to play Sindra, Clockwork, and Enchantress. If The Shy dares to catch him, he'll dare to die. He's an ATM on the road. Ning Wang, I'm Qiuqiu, you, use your brain to play games. Old Thief Sima, can you stop pulling a long face? No one in the club owes you money. Bao Lan, will your Boulogne die if he's in front of the ADC?]
[You don't want to improve, bastard. You expect to be influenced by love?
Are you worthy of your fans?
I'll refund your money!]
There was an emoticon attached to the panel: The dog got beaten up in a quarrel on the forum. He limped to IG for comfort with a bloody nose and a swollen face. In the end, he saw IG with a bump on his head and covered in blood. He looked even more miserable than his fans.
The camera returned to Song Yijin's face. He reached out and snapped his fingers, and the full-length mirror was destroyed.
Walking out of the door, The Shy, Ning Wang, Old Thief Sima, and Bao Lan stood in the corridor.
Broiler stretched out his right arm, a necklace hanging from his finger. At the bottom of the necklace was a dog tag with the IG team logo.
"Across four generations of IG members," Broiler's Mandarin echoed in the stadium. "That figure has dominated the stage for too long …"
His tone was firm. "Let me defeat you."
The five members of IG faced the camera, their eyes filled with the desire for victory.
The screen was split into two. On the left were the members of YM, and on the right were the members of IG.
Under Lin Yan's body, there were Chinese characters written in ink — Watcher. Under Song Yijin's body, there were three other characters: Challenger.
Watcher and Challenger.
The theme of this summer's finals.
After watching all this, the 20,000 spectators in the stands on all sides of the stadium began to discuss in full swing in their respective seats.
The netizens in the live broadcast room were not to be outdone. The bullet screen was flooded with comments.
[This promotional video is much more interesting than the previous ones.]
[They're really brave. YM is too arrogant in this promotional video. If they lose the championship, they'll be whipped out.]
[Am I the only one who's focused on IG's panel?
Those words are really messing with people's minds.]
[It's normal. This board is said to be hung on the wall of IG's training room. The members see it every day.]
[Why don't you translate this to Korean for The Shy to see?
Don't give Little Jiang any special treatment!]
"Good afternoon, everyone!" A voice full of energy echoed in the stadium. "This is the 2018 League of Legends …"
"Hello, everyone. I'm Zeyuan!"
The tall Guan Zeyuan appeared in the center of the camera.
"Welcome to the two guests in the commentary section …"
The camera changed. Next to Zeyuan stood a man whose body was even taller than his.
"Good afternoon, everyone. I'm Kid, Kid!"
He had retired not long ago. Now that he had nothing to do, it was a good thing for Kid to be able to stabilize his popularity in the commentary section of the summer finals.
"Hello, everyone. I'm Misaya, Ruo Feng!"
His large nose, which was as eye-catching as Jack's head, caused another wave of comments.
"Today, we've invited IG's meritorious member, KingYouGod, and WE's legendary player, Ruo Feng." Zeyuan acted as the go-between. "What do you two think of this summer finals?"
Kid was the first to speak. "The last time I made it to the finals of IG was back in S4. This kind of competition experience is good for these young players to hone their skills. They will be entering the international competition next month, so it's not a bad thing to accumulate more experience."
"I'm impressed by the rapid development of League of Legends e-sports. Now, they can hold competitions in this level of venue. Back then, we competed in Taicang's warehouse …" Ruo Feng began to reminisce about the past.
Zeyuan smiled politely. "Both players have something to say to their opponents before the competition. Let's take a look at the short video!"
Everyone in the Qing 'ao Stadium had their eyes on the big LED screen.
"Welcome to the trash talk segment!"
Lin Yan was still the leader. "This is the fifth time we've recorded this program. It's really boring."
"Fortunately, we've had the last laugh in the previous four rounds." He raised the corner of his mouth and looked at them disdainfully. "These five people from IG can't go all out. I can talk trash to Sister Li. After all, it's their first time."
When IG made it to the LPL finals in 2014, these people were not in the team yet.
"Bro, did you miss something?"
Broiler laughed. He didn't look aggressive at all. "I recorded the trash talk in the next division in 2014."
At that time, he was still in KTA. He and his good friend, Kakao, picked up the OGN Summer Championship trophy together.
"Look at my memory!"
Lin Yan slapped his forehead hard. "I forgot about the Rookie championship … Oh right, Yijin, what did you get in the international competition in S4?"
Broiler's face darkened.
Due to the rules at that time, after KTA won the Summer Championship, they still had to play in the bubble tournament. In the end, they failed to make it to the S4 global finals.
In the second year, this rule was fixed. After that, the Summer Championship could get a direct ticket to the S Tournament.
However, Broiler never had the chance to use it again. Due to the rule that clubs could only have one team in the top league, OGN changed drastically. He and his jungler friend went to IG.
At this point, he became the only member of a Korean team that won the Summer Championship but didn't make it to the global finals.
It was worth mentioning that a similar incident happened in LPL. PE Positive Energy won the 2013 Summer Championship, but they didn't make it to the S3 World Championship.
However, at that time, the LPL system was to play the Summer Championship after the World Championship. At that time, PE won the championship at the end of November. Strictly speaking, it was not the same as Broiler's experience.
Not being able to appear in the global finals jointly organized by Korea, Singapore, and Taiwan had always been a regret in Broiler's heart.
Lin Yan's words tore open his wound.
Broiler racked his brain, trying to find a flaw in Lin Yan to counterattack.
However, after thinking for a while, he still couldn't find a breakthrough.
When the live audience saw his silly look, they suddenly froze and laughed out loud.
"Ning Wang, go!" Song Yijin decided to send his underling to hold the fort.
"Yo, isn't this YM?" Gao Zhenning's unique northeastern accent was easy to recognize. "Mongoose, why do you look so tired?
I'm afraid that after this final, I'll make you cry! "
The camera switched to Phyllostachys Pubescens's face.
"Gao Zhenning …" He pursed his lips and smiled. "I know, you were my substitute at that time."
"Do you know what I regret the most in my career?" His tone was very weak.
Ning Wang showed a puzzled and curious expression at the right time.
"That's not letting you play a game in the S6 World Championship. If I knew that YM would win, I would've asked to go down in the last stage of the group stage and let you replace me to get a skin."
Mongoose's words could be considered as Qing Gang Yin's A pulling, dealing high true damage.
Gao Zhenning smiled awkwardly. S6 had followed the others in YM to win the championship, but didn't get a chance to play the whole time. For someone as proud as him, it was absolutely unacceptable.
However, Bao Lan saw this and started to speak up for his teammate. "I don't know why Liu Qingsong always has a straight face on stage. Is life in YM not very good?"
"If it really doesn't work out, Crisp can come to us. IG's management is very loose. I don't mind being my substitute." Bao Lan smiled. "If we can win S8 this year, you might even get a skin next year."
Liu Qingsong licked his lips.
Those familiar with him knew that he was about to fire.
"Bao Lan Z, you're an old acquaintance of mine in the first district. Like me, you both came up from TGA …" Liu Qingsong looked down at the chest of his team uniform. "Do you see these two stars?"
"I'm already the champion of the global finals at 19 years old. What about you?"
The camera cut and the two Edisi players looked at each other. Old Thief Sima's mouth twitched, giving the impression that he was smiling.
Jack didn't say anything harsh.
The main thing was that he wouldn't get any response no matter what he said. Old Thief Sima would definitely be expressionless and silent.
That would be boring.
The Shy said in broken Chinese, "I think Han Quan is a more stable top laner …"
He was stuck for a long time before he was forced to switch to Korean. "He doesn't have any good points. He can only muddle along like this. After all, he's 24 years old according to Korean standards. What can you do with him?"
"I saw Lucian's Sign of Theft in the semi-finals. To be honest, I don't even need Steal Money Rune to play this kind of suppression."
Jin Gong was the last to appear. "The Shy, I don't need to comment on this player anymore, right?
Everyone knows that the best top laner in the world is easy to catch. In today's finals, I'm going to let him solidify this title. "
"Forget it," King Ning said with a look of disdain. "Xiao Tian is basically impossible to catch. Do you think I'm a pig?"
"Who said that our team only has one jungler?"
Jin Gong gave an expression that said 'young people don't know much'. "YM has two junglers. Isn't this common knowledge?"
The camera cut to Lin Yan. He looked at the camera innocently.
The scene froze.
"That's all there is to trash talk!"
The scene had turned into a sea of joy. It wasn't that the words were funny, but it felt funny coming from the mouths of these players who looked more serious.
[I unilaterally announce that YM has won.]
[Isn't this a crushing defeat?
Brother Ran wasn't wrong. IG's trash talk skills aren't that good.]
[Brother Ran secretly mocked S4OGN's Xia Guan and Xiao Tian when they said that the substitutes were too cruel. IG hasn't even started and they've already lost half of their trash talk.]
[Mocking?
Isn't this a clear indication?]
[If I knew, Jack wouldn't have said anything. He's also a trash talker.]
"It's still the same thing," Zeyuan explained in the commentary booth. "Trash talk is a place for everyone to joke around. The audience should be more tolerant. After the finals, there's no need to trash talk the players. There's no need to do that."
Kid and Ruo Feng nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's take a look at the statistics of both teams in this summer competition!"
The director displayed the panel's statistics on the big screen.
"IG's average economy lead + 287. Lead in the first 15 minutes + 2800 (1st). Dragon's control rate 94.36% (1st). Average duration 25 minutes and 43 seconds (1st) …"
"These statistics are already very exaggerated!"
Ruo Feng agreed. "Indeed, the economy lead in the first 15 minutes is frighteningly high. Dragon's control rate is also high. IG's offensive firepower is still too strong."
Kid proudly puffed out his chest.
