When he woke up again, it was already the morning of the 28th.
Lin Yan glanced at his phone and found that there were still two hours before the gathering time set by Red Rice last night.
He wanted to sleep for another half an hour and then get up to wash up.
However, when he closed his eyes, he felt that his body was getting hotter and hotter. It didn't work even if he took off the blanket. When he turned over slightly, his forehead began to sweat.
'That's not right.'
Mongoose, who was lying on the bed next to him, was also woken up by the heat. He mumbled subconsciously, "What's going on?"
"The air conditioner is broken!" Lin Yan changed into a short-sleeved team uniform and got off the bed quickly.
"Huh?"
Mongoose put on his glasses and leaned on the bed. His brain was still in a state of shutdown because he didn't get enough sleep.
Lin Yan glanced at the air conditioner. Indeed, it wasn't cold anymore. When he went out to check, he opened WeChat and told Winston about the problem.
As soon as he opened the door and left, a man rushed out of the room next door, complaining that the air conditioner wasn't working well.
It was an old acquaintance.
doublelift。
"Hey, I heard that you guys arrived in Pusan last night … It's so convenient to be so close." Elder Senior Brother's body was full of muscles, and he was definitely considered strong among the professional players. "Damn it, we just got into the hotel at four o 'clock in the morning. We only slept for five hours before we were woken up by the heat!"
He was obviously very dissatisfied.
"I wanted to sleep again, but it's obvious that there's no chance now." Lin Yan went downstairs with him to find the hotel staff and have breakfast.
As they walked along the corridor, many doors were opened along the way.
Mr. Dai squinted his small eyes and muttered in a unique voice. Big Quail's hair was almost a bird's nest. Seeing that Lin Yan and Eldest Senior Brother were going downstairs, he followed them in a pair of slippers.
When they took the elevator to the lobby, they found that the counter was already crowded with customers. They were clamoring to solve the air conditioner problem in various languages.
With the help of Mata's translation, Lin Yan understood the lobby manager's loud explanation. "We'll solve it immediately …"
He also gave a definite answer. "It'll be fixed during the day today!"
After appeasing them for a while, the customers finished venting their anger. They also knew that if they continued to stay here, the air conditioner would not be repaired instantly. They had no choice but to disperse.
At this time, Phyllostachys Pubescens, Jack, and the others also came downstairs and met Lin Yan face to face.
"This hotel is really not good." Mongoose was still very dissatisfied. "Look at the standard of the hotel we hosted last year, and then look at this …"
He thought that the big quail couldn't understand Chinese.
In fact, Mata knew some simple Chinese communication terms, such as the word 'hotel'.
Combined with Xiaosu's tone, Mata could roughly guess what Phyllostachys Pubescens was talking about.
His face flushed red.
Korea had a strong sense of honor in this regard. Even Mata Chuan felt that he had lost face when the Busan Hotel hosted foreign players in such a manner.
He could only say that he was very unhappy in his heart, but he couldn't find any reason to refute.
He casually found an excuse and immediately fled back to his room.
Elder Senior called his friends and found a group of players to go to the restaurant to eat something to fill their stomachs.
He was very popular and was very popular in the European and American circles. The FNC players had just arrived in Busan this morning and were also called over by Elder Senior.
As soon as Caps, who looked like Mr. Bean, saw Lin Yan, he smiled and wanted to take a picture with him.
Lin Yan did not refuse. Caps quickly handed the phone to his top laner, Bwipo.
The man with the hat was short, but his big forehead made him look very smart. Before Lin Ran could do anything, he gave the camera a thumbs up.
Lin Yan originally wanted to change his pose, but when he saw Caps' reaction, he could only give a thumbs up.
Caps happily took the phone back from his teammate and casually said to Lin Yan, "Luca isn't here today. Otherwise, the three of us could take a picture together."
Luca was Perkz's name, and Lin Yan had a good relationship with him.
"It would be fun if G2 couldn't even qualify for the qualifiers this year …" Caps snickered and started to mock them when Caps was not around.
This summer, G2's form was very average. They only lost to FNC in the finals in the spring and even got second place. However, when the weather turned hot, something suddenly went wrong with the team.
With 12 wins and 6 losses, they only ranked fourth in the LCS. EU. In the first game of the playoffs, they were swept out by the Rabbitohs 0-3.
When Lin Yan saw the battle report, he thought it was ridiculous and suspected that someone in G2 had been possessed.
Fortunately, G2 caught up in the bubble competition. They first killed the European snake, then overturned FC Schalke 04 and successfully obtained the last ticket to the international competition in Europe.
However, not many people were optimistic about them.
With G2's personality, they might fall in the qualifiers.
"Ran, can we arrange a mock competition this afternoon?" Elder Senior asked expectantly.
The North Americans also knew that they were not very good. If they continued to play internal mock competitions, they would only become worse.
They had to communicate more with the other divisions in the outside world.
East Asia's LPL and LCK were currently recognized as the two strongest divisions.
However, if they wanted to play mock competitions with them, they had to have connections.
They were all familiar with each other in the same division. With three teams participating in the international competition, practicing with each other could solve most of the mock competition needs.
If it really did not work out, China and Korea could communicate and negotiate. The two divisions could form a small group and digest all the mock competitions internally.
After all, the LPL division had a lot of interaction with the LCK during the spring and summer competitions. In addition, both divisions thought that China and Korea were far ahead and were unwilling to train with the weaker European and American teams. As a result, the Europeans and Americans could only entertain themselves most of the time.
If they wanted to play mock competitions with the LCK, they had to have Korean reinforcements or Korean coaches on the team. They might be able to get close to them.
As for the LPL, there was really nothing the Europeans and Americans could do.
The team did not have any reinforcements, and there was no domestic coach working in the top leagues in Europe or America. They were not familiar with the LPL division at all.
In this case, Da Shixiong wanted to use his connections to invite YM through Lin Yan.
"Our mock competition only needs a best-of-five, how about it?" Doublelift's expression was full of desire.
The LTL team's situation this year seemed good. Da Shixiong wanted to go one step further and enter the top eight.
If they could learn some version understanding or coordination through the mock competition with YM, it would be great for TL.
"… I can't make the decision on my own," Lin Yan picked up the tray and went to the buffet area to get sliced bread, fried eggs, and ham for himself. "We have to ask our coach."
Usually, it was the coach's job to arrange mock competitions. Lin Yan basically did not ask, so he could not agree on his own.
"Okay, okay," Da Shixiong looked at Little Red Hat on the side. "Then let's play tonight?"
Although in his opinion, Europe was not as strong as China or Korea, FNC was still strong this year. A mock competition with LTL was definitely worth it.
FNC's coach was sitting next to them. When he heard that Da Shixiong wanted to invite his team to a mock competition, he quickly denied it. "No, we already made an appointment with VIT when we came over. We'll mainly play against them these two days."
Da Shixiong begged around but could not find any confirmed opponents for the mock competition. After breakfast, he ran upstairs, looking sick.
When Lin Yan and the others returned upstairs, the training room was already set up.
The only problem was that they could not use the air conditioner.
"It's not a big deal if it's just sleeping in a place without air conditioner. It's not unacceptable to open the windows at night …" Guo Hao frowned. "But it's torture to stay in the training room during the day."
They woke up from the heat this morning mainly because they did not prepare in advance. They turned on the air conditioner and closed the doors and windows. Without the cold air, the temperature in the room would naturally rise. If they slept at night, the weather in Busan would not be too hot.
However, training during the day without air conditioner was torture.
The training room was about 20 square meters in total. If ten computers and more than ten people were squeezed in, it would explode from the heat even if the windows were opened.
After some communication, Guo Hao asked Winston to bring him to a nearby shopping mall to buy a bunch of palm-sized electric fans. He placed them on the table and they would be able to cool themselves.
He stood in the middle of the training room with his hands on his hips and said to his team members and employees, "These are the conditions now. There's no other way. Everyone, give Big Sister Li a try."
Lin Ran's heart was at peace.
After all, it was not just YM. All the participating teams had this configuration.
He just had to bear with it.
He held a cold drink in his hand. If he felt hot, he would roll the drink bottle around his exposed arm, letting the cold water droplets stay on his skin.
When the electric fan blew again, goosebumps would appear on his forearm.
The other team members followed suit and instantly felt much better.
Red Rice first put down the curtains and then turned on the projector so that all the players could see their own computer screens.
"Let me talk about the next version first. This year's world tournament will be using version 8.19, which is three more minor versions of content than the playoffs. Because Fist was frightened by the S5 Heavy Soldier version, they didn't dare to make any bold and decisive changes as the world tournament nears …"
"Although the content of these three versions is different, overall, the direction is the same. We'll talk about it later."
Homme had already sorted out this part of the information and drawn out the key points.
Cognitive version, this was necessary work before intensive training.
If they did not do anything and just went up to the training competition, they would not be able to obtain good benefits.
"First of all... the adjustments to the critical hit equipment." Red Rice pulled up a slide. "The Infinity Blade's attack power has decreased by 10 points, and its price has been lowered from 3,600 to 3,400. The fusion path has changed from two greatswords to a Tempest Greatsword and a pickaxe. The prices of the Green Fork, Cannon, Mist Cutter, and Electric Knife have also decreased by 150 gold coins."
"ADCs with high attack speed and critical hit have received a wave of enhancements. This has raised the status of characters like Kesha and Dusk by a lot." Red Rice stated a common fact that everyone knew. "And the other hero who has also benefited …"
"Yasso." Jack rushed to answer, his face full of joy.
"That's right, it's Yasso." Red Rice agreed.
When Yasso was popular in the professional scene during the summer season, some players felt that the synthesis path of two Storm Greatswords was not very smooth. They chose to first add a Blood Hand and then Infinity Blade.
Now that the synthesis path had changed to a BF Greatsword and a pickaxe, it was much more comfortable. The second item could be Infinity Blade. With a full critical hit rate, Yasso's combat power would instantly increase by a level.
The price of Green Fork was reduced by 150, and Infinity Blade was reduced by 200. Yasso's two-piece set cost 350 gold coins less than usual. This also meant that he could complete it one minute earlier.
This would have a crucial impact on the BP rate and win rate in the professional scene.
Fist's move seemed to be to strengthen critical hit ADCs, but in reality, it was' inadvertently 'creating more opportunities for Yasso to appear.
It was obvious that he wanted to bully Lin Ran for not knowing Yasuo and put pressure on him.
The people in YM's competition department almost froze when they thought of this.
"Then can Kesha become a T1?" Shiba Inu asked. "After all, the price of Mist Cutter has decreased."
Red Rice shook his head. "I don't think so. I think it's not just Kesha. It's also difficult for other ADCs to appear."
"When the vanguard of the Eight Minute Canyon was created, these ADCs' equipment hadn't been completed yet. Their combat power was too weak and useless."
If they chose Kesha or Dusk, the first vanguard team would not be able to take on them. Unless the strength of the four positions was extremely high, only then could they make up for the lack of ADCs.
Kesha's current problem was not the strength of her heroes, but that she could not keep up with the pace of the game.
She was still very strong after completion, but in the professional scene, no team would let Kesha drag on steadily.
"The other point is Sindra's strengthening." Red Rice showed the second image. "Now the base damage of the Level 1 Q [Shadow Ball] is as high as 70. It's back to the peak value of two years ago."
"… Is this crazy?" Lin Yan was stunned. "Isn't this unbeatable in lane?"
In this version of the game that emphasized lane control, Sindra's strengthening would undoubtedly have a fatal impact on the environment.
"The key is that Sindra can roll to the bottom lane." Red Rice looked at Shiba Inu. "During this time, remember to pick up the ball girl and practice."
Jack nodded in response. "Relax, there's definitely no problem with this brother's Sindra!"
Red Rice nodded and showed the next image. "Akali's big move's damage has been weakened again, but it's only decreased by 15 points. It doesn't hurt at all and can be used again."
"It's worth mentioning that the cooldown of Sword Demon W's [Evil Flame Chain] has been reduced by 4 seconds and its strength has increased by quite a bit."
After Atokus W's second rework, it had been weakened once and this was considered a reversal.
"Crab has increased his movement speed by 5 points, it should be to make him less passive ….. But I don't think there's much meaning. This hero can't keep up because of his skills and not because of his base movement speed."
Then Lin Yan looked at the support side. Bull's Head's big move's cooldown had been increased by 10 seconds and Hammer Stone's base damage had been reduced by 1.
In the jungle, Troll King was still strong. Even if Q's [Sharp Bite]'s early damage had been reduced by 5 points, it wouldn't affect his dominance in the jungle.
"Generally speaking, the updates of these three versions are minor fixes, weakening the overly strong heroes and strengthening the overly weak ones." Red Rice turned off the slide. "Generally speaking, this is still a version dominated by the top, middle, and jungle. But Fist wants to let the ecological chain blossom and urge as many heroes as possible to enter the professional arena."
"Gou Ba and I made a picture before ….." Red Rice took out a stack of A4 paper from his notebook and distributed it to the players. "It lists the strength and weakness of the heroes on the professional stage. After the three small updates, we've made some changes."
Lin Yan took it and looked it over.
The YM coaches had made a very detailed table, giving the reason for the gradient ranking and the recent changes in BP and win rates in the professional stage.
For example, mid lane.
In the Version 8.16 playoffs, Little Temptress's BP rate was as high as 82.5% and her win rate was 55.6%. This strength was worthy of being called Version T1 and was above the other mid laners.
Zooey was close behind, with a BP rate of 77.7% and a win rate of 51.2%. Although they weren't as good as Little Temptress, they were still far ahead of the other characters.
In the new table, Red Rice placed Sindra between Little Temptress and Zooey. Card Master and Yasso had also successfully entered Tier T1, but next to them was the words "Need to be used with the mid and jungle system."
"Because the S8 World Championship hasn't started yet, Gou Ba's data collection work has not started. Currently, the selection of T1-T3 heroes is very messy. There are even six or seven characters squeezed into the same echelon of strength," Red Rice explained loudly. "As the game progresses, I will constantly update this table, remove some heroes, and adjust their echelons at the same time!"
Only through the competition could one see which heroes were the overrated traps in the version, and which characters were born out of the blue, becoming the targets that all the big teams were fighting over.
"I have circled all the heroes you need to practice next." Red Rice planned to turn off the projector. "Since most teams are still on the way to Pusan, there are no training games to play. Let's warm up today …"
Lin Yan heard this and raised his hand to indicate that he had something to say.
"Doublelift told me this morning that he wanted to arrange a BO5 training game. If we can't arrange a training game now, we might as well try it with them."
Red Rice didn't expect her mid laner to have such a function and immediately agreed.
Although the strength of TL was not very strong, it was still a training game after all, and the effect would definitely be better than ranking.
"Is it okay to play a training game between the same group?" Guo Hao still had questions.
Red Rice waved her hand. "It's okay. The reason why the same group doesn't play a training game is because they are afraid of being exposed and being targeted by the opponent. They will lose points and not be able to qualify."
"But a team of TL's level can hardly pose much of a threat to us. Besides, it's just a BO5. When the other two LPL teams arrive in Pusan tomorrow, we won't have to look for liquids."
Red Rice just wanted to take advantage of the free time to let the players warm up.
Lin Yan got up and went to inform his senior.
Doublelift was prepared to play ranking games for the whole afternoon. When he heard Lin Yan's invitation to a training game, he was overjoyed.
"Great, Randao!" He thanked him in half-baked Chinese. His tone was very similar to Shanghainese.
"It's okay …" Lin Yan waved his hand again and again.
"If there is a chance to go to Los Angeles in the future, I will be a free tour guide for you!" The senior switched to English and was much more fluent this time. He patted his strong chest and promised.
The BO5 game progressed very quickly. After an hour and a half, YM won.
In the last game, YM's hand was off the charts. They pushed forward with all their strength. In just 15 minutes, the headcount score was 13: 2.
From Red Rice's perspective, the economic gap between the two sides had widened to 5,500. There was no need to continue playing.
The whole TL team sent GG in everyone's chat and then exited the game.
"You guys are too ruthless."
Even Jack couldn't take it anymore. In this game, his score was 10000, and he was innocent. It could be said that he was a vegetarian and praying to Buddha. However, the three people in the first half were completely crazy. "This is too much!"
"Too much? They have to thank us." Lin Yan took a sip of ice cream and felt refreshed.
"Thank you!" The senior was jubilant. He even pushed the door open to thank him.
This made Shiba Inu speechless.
After a simple review, the YM team went to a Korean barbecue restaurant near the hotel.
The first day in Pusan ended.
Unfortunately, the lobby manager's earlier promise was not fulfilled.
They still couldn't turn on the air conditioner.
Red Rice understood their hard work and gave them a three-hour break. They didn't come back to train until ten o 'clock in the evening.
At this time, the temperature in Pusan had turned cold. It was not that uncomfortable to squeeze in a room.
However, this also caused the training time to be extended. Lin Yan returned to his room to rest at one o 'clock in the evening, which was completely different from his usual biological clock.
He was so tired that he fell asleep as soon as he hit the pillow.
When he woke up the next day, IG and RNG had already arrived in Pusan.
At breakfast time, the chicken opened its sleepy eyes and looked very sleepy.
Lin Ran sat opposite him with a tray in his hand.
"Last night, Chenglu turned off my air conditioner again. Does this guy have cat biscuits?" Song Yijin was very unhappy.
He and The Hy lived in the same room. This morning, he was woken up by the heat, which made Broiler very angry.
At the IG base, Jiang Chenglu liked to sleep with the air conditioner off, saying it was good for health.
Song Yijin didn't care about health. Comfort was the most important thing.
He also had his own theory. If the quality of sleep was too poor, would it shorten one's lifespan?
Lin Yan pondered for a moment. "… But the air conditioner was broken yesterday."
That wasn't Jiang Chenglu's problem at all.
"Huh?!" Song Yijin's eyes, which were originally half-closed, suddenly opened. "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Lin Yan was putting strawberry jam on sliced bread. He was quite puzzled when he heard Song Yijin's words. "But you didn't know?"
Broiler looked innocent. "We didn't know. We arrived at Pusan at two o 'clock in the morning. When we checked in, no one reminded us."
Just then, Winston sat down and grabbed the bread on his plate and wolfed it down. "Last night, there were some problems in Seoul. My colleagues and I went back and forth. It was a few hundred kilometers. I'm so sleepy. After eating, I have to go up and sleep …"
Lin Yan asked, "You told IG about the air conditioner, right?"
"Of course. Before I left, I told them on WeChat," Winston answered matter-of-factly. "I have to do my job well."
Lin Yan understood and didn't ask any further.
Winston wanted to contact IG. This kind of thing would naturally have to be told to the team leader or manager. He wouldn't tell the team members alone.
The answer was clear.
IG's management didn't tell the team members about the air conditioner.
It sounded ridiculous.
But when he thought about how this was IG, it made sense.
At this point, all 12 teams had arrived in Pusan. The mock competition was gradually getting on track.
YM had a lot of invitations for mock competitions. All the other teams wanted to compete with them. They wanted to get a feel of the game and test the current number one team in League of Legends.
IG and RNG also had endless invitations. They could basically pick any opponent they wanted for mock competitions.
This was completely different from two years ago.
Back then, LPL had to unilaterally beg LCK to play mock competitions with them.
Now, times had changed.
YM's consecutive championships made the LPL league more and more valuable. IG and RNG were also very strong. The three teams participating in S8 were the strongest lineup in LPL in recent years.
LCK had suffered consecutive losses in the international competition. They had no choice but to lower their arrogant heads and learn from LPL.
Red Rice chose the best of the best from the mock competition invitations that floated in like snowflakes. They practiced against the strong opponents in the other three teams, slowly figuring out the updated version.
October 1st, Seoul, South Korea.
The qualifiers officially started.
The eight wild cards fought fiercely against the four third-seeded teams from the four major divisions.
Only four teams could make it to the main competition.
If they wanted to make it to the group stage, they had to defeat a team from one of the five major divisions.
The wild cards put in all their effort. They didn't want to let their hard work go to waste.
But there was a huge gap between them and the major divisions.
The difference was too big.
Even the third-seeded team from LMS, G-REX, who was thought to be the most likely to fail before the competition, advanced triumphantly.
G2, C9, and GEN all showed their abilities. All four divisions got first place in the qualifiers. Then, they defeated the second place of the other teams in the best-of-five matches and successfully made it to the main competition.
The eldest princess went on stage again and started drawing lots with a smile on her face.
This would determine the last team in each group.
YM took advantage of the midnight snack time to eat fried chicken while watching the live broadcast.
Flame felt around in the glass bowl for a long time and finally pulled out a black ball.
The moment she opened it, the eldest princess smiled.
The ribbon unfolded and faced the audience.
GEN.G。
At the bottom of Group A, GEN's team logo appeared!
"Hahahahaha!" Jack held his stomach and laughed. "Here comes the free points!"
YM wasn't afraid of LCK teams. They had always killed anyone they saw. Their good tradition had started from the S6 global finals and continued to this day.
In the international competition, SSG started. In the S6 quarterfinals, YM swept Samsung out.
What was very interesting was that they also ended. In the S7 Bird's Nest final, Samsung made YM a legend of winning all the championships.
The great philanthropist Samsung emphasized that they had to finish what they started.
Lin Yan felt that since GEN had inherited the title of Samsung's champion, their fear of YM must still be deeply rooted in their minds.
In the backstage lounge of Seoul Lolpark.
The moment he saw the results of the draw, Ruler Emperor hugged his head and let out a tragic cry. "Ahhhhh!"
Just as Lin Yan thought, when he saw YM, he recalled the S7 global finals where he used Little Pao to save his opponent's life.
It was too disgusting.
The other older generation esports players from Samsung were also solemn. YM had brought them countless painful memories.
Showmaker was the only new member of GEN and had never fought against YM before.
When he saw the expressions of his seniors, he didn't feel disheartened. "Don't be afraid, Brother Zaihe. We'll definitely get our revenge this time!"
Ruler Emperor looked deeply into the eyes of his new member.
Last year, Crown had thought the same.
But after the S7 global finals, they were all gone.
Thinking of this, Ruler felt a little better.
Anyway, he wasn't the one facing Lin Yan.
Xu Xiu, you're on your own now.
Princess Zaihe drew G-REX, but because there was already a Lightning Wolf in Group B, they were pushed back and entered Group C.
In the end, G2 entered Group B.
Baidu Cloud and C9 were assigned to Group D.
At this point, the 16 teams in the four groups were all out.
Group A: YM, TL, MAD, GEN
Group B: FW, RNG, PVB, G2
Group C: KT, VIT, 100T, G-REX
Group D: FNC, IG, AF, C9
That night, the company released the schedule of the group matches.
The opening match was between YM and GEN.
In the blink of an eye, it was already October 10th.
Sea Cloud Platform, Busan Convention and Exhibition Center.
Lin Yan took a sip of ice water and held it in his mouth.
The backstage area he was in was extremely lively.
The 16 teams were gathered together, and there was a mix of languages from different countries. It was so noisy that it made people feel flustered.
"Later, just walk in a straight line." Winston emphasized to them, sitting at the side. "Brother Ran, you'll walk in front."
Lin Yan nodded to show that he understood.
He bent down to put down the water bottle and held the Summoner's Trophy with both hands.
Through the wall, they could hear the roaring emperor's voice.
"Summoners from all over the world, welcome to Busan, Korea!"
His voice was full of passion. "After seven days of competition, it's finally time for the global finals!"
"Let's welcome the teams!"
"Group D, Fnatic!"
Soaz and Bwipo, the two top laners, led their teammates onto the stage and waved to the 1,800 audience members in the stands.
Then, IG, C9, and AF appeared, causing the audience to cheer.
The teams left the backstage one by one.
Lin Yan was left with five teammates.
"Finally, let's give a round of applause to the two-time global champions … Young Miracles!"
Hearing his team's name, Lin Yan slowly stepped onto the stage.
The other five followed closely behind him.
The group gave off a strong pressure, and the two golden stars on their chests were extremely dazzling.
The spotlights above their heads shone down on the Summoner's Trophy in Lin Yan's hands, and it glowed with silver light.
The cheers and screams from the audience didn't stop. Even many Korean audience members stood up to welcome the arrival of the double champions of the international competition!
Lin Yan placed the Summoner's Trophy on the stage steadily. After returning it, he retreated to his teammates' side.
The cameraman's camera was fixed on the trophy.
"All teams are ready." Roaring emperor shouted, "The flames of war are burning fiercely in October. Let's wait and see, let's see who will be able to break out of the encirclement!"
The spotlights flashed one after another, causing everyone to feel dizzy.
After the other teams left the stage, Lin Yan and his teammates didn't leave. Instead, they sat at the players' seats at the back.
GEN's team members were also adjusting the game settings.
The camera panned to the commentator's seat.
"Good evening, everyone, I'm commentator Ze Yuan!"
"Hello, everyone, I remember!"
Two familiar faces appeared on the screen.
"This is the live broadcast of the 2018 global finals group stage!"
Ze Yuan said loudly, "The opening battle is about to begin. The first seed of the LPL, YM, will face the third seed of the LCK, GEN!"
"The result of this game will affect the advancement of the entire Group A," Remember said. "There is a weak team like MAD in the group, and TL's overall ability is not strong. Before the game, everyone generally believes that the two sides in the battle for the first place in Group A are YM and GEN."
"Whoever can win this game will have the upper hand!"
Unlike the LPL, which had a series of advertisements after the estimated time of the game, the start time of the international competition was strictly according to the schedule.
"Without further ado, let's enter the BP segment of the opening battle!"
With a crisp sound, the ban panel appeared in front of all the audience!
