After the shortlisted opening ceremony played a vcr, each participating team was introduced, thus kicking off the S7 World Championship!
The Wuhan Sports Center was filled with people, the gongs and drums were noisy, and the muffled sound of the cheering sticks echoed throughout the venue. LPL fans shouted to cheer for ig participating in the game!
In the first qualifying round, Shiyi, Yutong, and Zeyuan served as the main stage commentators and hosts.
Zeyuan: "Welcome to the first day of the 2017 Global Finals. The first game will be between our third seed ig from the lpl division and the double champion GMB from the CIS division!"
Eleven: "Team GMB is our good friend! The two ancient players Dai Meng and Kria are also familiar to many summoners and have become the memories of a generation of youth!"
Yutong: "During S2, Kria dominated the LCS division with brush heroes such as Death Song and Ice Bird, and became the earliest mid lane king in Europe!"
After the three commentators popularized the information about the GMB team, they continued to finish an advertisement and waited for the players to enter.
ig backstage lounge.
King Ning was lying lazily on the e-sports chair playing with his mobile phone. When he heard the staff reminding him to play, he got up and jumped up.
Under the arrangement of the coaching staff, Ning Wang will serve as ig's starting jungler against GMB, while Li Nian is quietly playing ranked on the computer in the corner and continues to guard the water dispenser.
"No need to warm up," Prince Ning smiled and patted Li Nian on the shoulder, "I will go on the field and kill at will in the two games today!"
Li Nian took off his earphones, looked back at him, and said with a smile, "Make a bet! I'll give you 200 if you kill randomly. If you don't kill randomly, you'll give me 200!"
Prince Ning has an upright personality and agreed without any hesitation, "If you don't kill me randomly, I will treat you to a meal! You can choose the location as you like!"
His heroic voice spread throughout the lounge, causing other team members to joking.
"Prince Ning, I want to have a big meal! The kind that will defeat you."
Xihuang jumped out first.
Theshy also smiled crookedly and looked at Prince Ning with gentle eyes.
As everyone left the lounge, Li Nian also turned off the game and dragged his chair to sit in front of the big screen.
Aning came closer to Li Nian and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"The qualifying round is just for training. The five of them go on the field and kill randomly. Let's see if we can arrange for you to go up and play tomorrow! It would be nice if you can get a champion skin..."
Li Nian nodded. He was naturally confident in the strength of his teammates, but when he thought about Prince Ning, he felt inexplicably uneasy.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it!"
The competition has not yet started, but the number of people pouring into the live broadcast rooms of major platforms is rising steadily, and it has already exceeded the popularity of the Summer Finals!
"Ig doesn't have to go through a process to beat these teams. Is it really possible to lose to a wild card like EDG?"
"It doesn't matter if the other four are sick, Rookie can kill them all by himself!"
"There's nothing interesting to see, Chun Chun crushes the game, I'll do it too!"
"Although Xihuang is a bad guy, he is a good at cooking!"
"Little ig rushes to the duck! I can hear your voice after crossing that mountain!"
At this time, the ig support rate of network support is as high as a terrifying 99%! This shows how high the fans’ expectations are for their team!
As the director pulled the camera towards the field, the two commentators Chang Mao and Hao Kai appeared on the field. After the two briefly introduced the history of the two teams, they officially entered the BP session.
ig is the red side in this field and gmb is the blue side.
In the first round of transfers, both sides tested each other, giving priority to banning the strong heroes in the version and coming up with the system they are good at.
gmb took the lead in coming up with a reverse version lineup, giving priority to the midfielder combination of Icebird + Kayn.
"You are so confident, I am King Kayn! Are you taking Kayn in front of me?" King Ning shook his body back and forth, extremely disdainful of gmb's choice.
After the 7.14 version update, Kayn landed on Summoner's Rift as 137 heroes.
In the lpl summer regular season on July 28, King Ning took out Kayn for the first time and used his strong hero mechanism to invade the LGD wild area. He pinned the wild king to the ground and rubbed him throughout the game, winning the MVP of this game!
They followed up with two games, and with their outstanding performance, other teams gained respect from the ban position.
"Wow, you're taking an unpopular hero like Ice Bird!" Rookie exclaimed.
Although kria is famous for its brush heroes, in today's mid-laner version that favors support, Ice Bird, a brush hero, is definitely an anti-version hero.
As a coach, Mafa has studied gmb's tactics and is not too surprised by the opponent's choice. Kayn is a commonly used hero in the CIS region.
And can the Ice Bird brush be played?
If you are not allowed to eat the soldiers in the early stage, how can you get to the later stage?
Mafa decisively asked Rookie and Ning Wang to take out the midfielder combination of Jace + Barrel, trying to defeat the opponent in the early stage, speed up the game, and get off work early.
The coaches from both sides competed to determine the final lineup.
Li Nian, who was in the backstage lounge, saw ig coming up with a lineup that was extremely demanding in the early stage, and his worries became more intense.
This obviously doesn’t treat gmb as a human being!
as expected!
In 3 minutes, Rookie's Jace was single-killed by Icebird!
Changmao: "Rookie is impulsive! The ice bird still has eggs. This wave shouldn't jump over the tower!"
Hao Kai: "The mid laner died, and Kayn began to invade the wild area of the wine barrel..."
In 5 minutes, the lower half of ig was controlled by Kayn, and he successfully used his e skill to penetrate the wall and hit Xihuang's flash.
At 7 minutes, Kayn raided the bottom lane again, killing Xihuang who had not flashed, and forced Baolan to flash!
In 8 minutes, Wine Barrel took advantage of Ice Bird's push to kill Ice Bird and smash his eggs!
At 11 minutes, the upper half of the jungle area in the wine barrel was snatched away by Kayn face to face, and there was no wild brush. The ratio of wild brushes between the two sides was 60:14!
"Theshy was pretty solid today! I watched my teammates fight the whole time." Su Xiaoluo tilted his head and communicated with Mafa. Even if ig was at a disadvantage, he still had no worries.
So what if it gives gmb an advantage in the early stage?
When it comes to team fights, ig can win if they charge randomly.
Li Nian frowned and looked at the screen, but there was no sound.
At this time, King Ning's field of vision in the jungle was completely taken over by gmb, and his position was almost transparently exposed to the opponent's field of vision. There was no sense of rhythm in the entire field.
After Xihuang on the bottom lane sent out a kill, he was beaten by the opponent 30 times, and even the operation began to be a little deformed.
ig's status is getting more and more wrong!
Under the camera, King Ning began to wipe the sweat with his hands, and the arrogant expression before the game completely disappeared.
At 15 minutes, the two sides competed for the first dragon, and the wine barrel "Meat, Egg, Onion, Chicken" started a team, but the teammates failed to follow up and sent out kills, and the dragon fell again!
In 20 minutes, Icebird's last hit was 246, Jayce's last hit was 191, Kayn's invasion wiped out the wild barrel, and Icebird wiped out its own F6 and Three Wolves!
"IG's disadvantage is getting bigger and bigger. The economic difference in 20 minutes is close to 7,000. Icebird has no way to lose weight!"
"Don't be anxious, wait for gmb to get sick, then ig will rush and win."
"Prince Ning feels like he's sleepwalking. Even if the wild monsters are robbed, we can't catch anyone online!"
"You can always trust Song Yijin!"
The fans who support ig are still optimistic, just like the "Optimistic Family" family, looking forward to delaying the game, and then winning the game in the late team battle.
But this is not the case. gmb relies on Kayn's growth to lose weight, and has repeatedly caught and killed the barrels that are greedy for success.
ig's disadvantage is like a bursting of water, getting worse and worse!
Su Xiaoluo's face in the backstage lounge darkened, and the room fell into silence again.
At 25 minutes, Wine Barrel dodged e to start the team and successfully bombed the opponent's AD. However, due to his poor development, his "barrel" turned into a "bucket" and he could not withstand the damage. The ice bird ice wall divided the battlefield and was killed by focused fire.
In the 4v4 team battle between the two sides, Kayn and Icebird, who were unable to lose weight, took over the battlefield. The two sides finally ended the team battle with 2 for 5. gmb won the team battle and took advantage of the situation to win the Baron.
Changmao: "The economic gap between the two sides is 10,000, and the probability of a comeback is getting smaller and smaller... Can ig perform a miracle again!"
Hao Kai: "Ning Wang's performance is not satisfactory and his condition is in a state of confusion. I hope that my subordinates can adjust their condition to face the RPG team!"
At 35 minutes, the ig base crystal exploded.
