October 28, the start day of the semi-finals
On this day, there was a dense crowd of spectators outside the Oriental Sports Center in the city. The city government also attached great importance to this world-class e-sports event held in the city and specially deployed a large number of police officers to maintain law and order at the scene.
At the same time, after seeing the terrifying popularity and influence of e-sports events, I also started to think about this industry. The new plan may make some attempts in this area. Of course, some of them will have to wait until the dust settles to see the actual results. , are still unknown.
If you can make the city think about it, you will know how popular League of Legends is now. It can be said that the current popularity of the finals has reached an uncontrollable level online, and there are faint signs that all netizens are watching the game.
Major capitals have already begun to contact those eliminated e-sports clubs. I believe that there will be many brand-new teams emerging next year, and the final number of chips to be spent depends on the results of this LPL.
If they win the championship this year, it goes without saying. The current popularity alone can roughly predict how much benefit the two clubs can get, and capital will not be tempted.
If they don't win the championship, the backlash from public opinion will be so powerful that the two clubs will look at the losses and lower the price, so why not do it.
It can be said that the result of this game can determine a lot of future trends. Both teams can feel the huge pressure. In addition to the first two days of vacation to adjust their mentality, everyone will step up their time to train like crazy.
It wasn't until the last night that everyone was allowed to go back to rest and prepare for tomorrow's game. In the past few days, Yu Shuang watched his little sister's face getting worse and worse, feeling distressed, but there was nothing that could be done. Fortunately, she finally managed to survive, and she can rest today. Watching the game from the sidelines one day.
Today's game is highly anticipated. It is between rng and last year's world champion skt. Not only is the venue full, but even the outside is crowded with spectators without tickets. There is only a temporary large electronic screen, so you can feel the live audience. The atmosphere of the game.
Yu Hui was sitting in the VIP area reserved for the EDG club in the front row, holding a cup of warm red bean milk tea in his hand and drinking it every sip. Next to him, Lin Xiuli looked at her from time to time, her calves dangling and kicking. .
The corner of Yu Hui's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but recall the scene when Yu Shuang bumped into him last time. Yu Shuang's face was very calm when he looked at the two of them, only wearing fat clothes, and didn't say anything.
After sending Lin Xiuli away... Yu Hui subconsciously moved his buttocks, as if there was still a faint pain remaining on his buttocks~
The surrounding lights dimmed, reminding the audience that the game was about to begin, and the audience immediately burst into deafening cheers.
The big screen in the center flashed, the fist and Tencent logos flashed, and a countdown began to play.

…
The whole audience followed the big screen and counted down 4! 3! 2! 1! The screen lit up and a short video recorded by the two teams before the game was played.
The red SKT team logo appeared, and the audience immediately started cheering:
"SKT! SKT!"
In the documentary, Faker sat on a chair and said calmly: "This time the global finals are held in China, rng has the home court advantage and has performed better than before, but as long as we don't perform as poorly as in the quarterfinals , I believe we can still win!”
The big screen flashed and Xiaohu appeared in the lens. The cheers at the scene were even higher than before.
Xiaohu: "When I met Faker last year, I thought more about how I could learn a lot from him. He is my idol and the goal I chase. But this year, I think we have enough power. I defeated them, so I’m looking forward to this battle!”
"Ah ah ah ah ah!
"
"RNG! RNG!"
"General Tiger! Charge the duck!
"
"Welcome everyone to the semi-finals of the 2017 Global Finals. Summoners present, how are you!"
“Ahhh!
"
"It seems that everyone is ready, so let's invite the two teams participating today. First of all, the first team, SKT!"
A few people from SKT came on stage from the backcourt and stood in a row on the stage. As a team with three global finals championships, SKT has countless fans around the world, and the cheers at the scene also reached the sky.
"Okay! Please invite the second team, our RNG!"
"ah!
! "
The LPL fans who came to the scene today all came for RNG, and the cheers were very powerful. Everyone spared no effort to cheer for RNG. The audience who cheered for SKT just now were also shouting RNG's name. The home field advantage is evident.
Soon the two sides officially entered the competition, and the commentary lineup invited by the LPL organizers was also very luxurious, led by remembering, and assisted by two veterans, pdd and Shenchao.
"Hello everyone, welcome to the semi-finals of the 2017 Global Finals. Hello everyone, I remember."
"I'm pdd!"
"Hello everyone, I am Shenchao!"
Remember: "It is also a great honor to have Teacher pdd and Teacher Shenchao to commentate on this crucial game today!"
"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"
"More importantly, we have made a new breakthrough in the semi-finals. Teacher pdd now has a vest, so as long as rng wins today, I believe that when it comes to BJ, we will change into suits, so I hope today's bo5 , break sktbo5’s unbeaten golden status, let’s go to BJ together!”
pdd looked serious: "I'm starting to get nervous now... But as we can see from this World Championship, rng is in good shape and performs very well. I think it can basically represent the highest level of our lpl."
I remember nodding in agreement and saying: "Actually, Feike also said just now that their performance in the quarterfinals was not very good. They made a lot of mistakes when facing the msf little rabbit. They didn't have the kind of dominance level strength they used to have. Whether the SKT dynasty can be overthrown starts from the BP of this game!"
In the cheers of the audience, both sides officially started BP. The blue side's rng first-hand ban choice was directly given to Jace, and the second-hand ban Xia was playing Galio.
Yu Hui in the audience shook his head and sighed in his heart. Before the semi-finals, edg and rng played many training games. Basically 50% of Yu Hui's hero choices were Jayce, which also made letme Choose Jace.
Letme got used to the laning style that pushed Letme's mentality to explode, but it felt like it had little effect. Yu Hui could hit him invisible for the whole game with any of his picks. He still didn't dare to play Jess, and he still couldn't handle it. Jess.
This is a problem of personal ability, and no one can solve it for him. Xia is also a puppy in the bottom lane. He can't take it out, and the effect of taking it out is not good. At least he can't suppress iboy. Obviously he is more inclined to play with small guns, but factory Changhe Xiangguo learned a lot of cool things.
Yu Hui asked nofe to discuss this issue with Feng Ge. Feng Ge also realized that this was a huge weakness, but he just smiled bitterly and did not explain anything. He just said that he would try to communicate with the two of them.
Now Yu Hui knew as soon as he saw the ban selection that rng would eventually follow the same path of his previous life.
