2pm on the 10th
Audiences continued to enter the ticket check-in area on the ninth floor of Supermarket Plaza. Some fans who came to the scene in advance to wait usually held cheering items in their hands.
Judging from the stickers they put on their cheeks or foreheads, they are basically all fans of IG. There was only a small group of people holding signs supporting JDG, which seemed very abrupt.
There is nothing that can be done about it. To put it bluntly, Magic City is currently Asuna's home court. There is no team that can compare head-on with Asuna in Magic City in terms of popularity and fan base.
As for why it’s Asuna and not IG, well... the main reason is that the most popular home team in Zhengda Plaza is EDG.
Later, after Asuna's transfer, it became IG's home court. Everyone agreed that this situation was the change brought about by Asuna.
At least if you look at what most of the IG fans are wearing, wearing on their heads, or holding in their hands, most likely they are support items related to Asuna.
After entering the venue, the 30-minute countdown to the start of the game began. The guest commentator's seat, the Haier brothers and the guest commentator Xiye also took their seats in the commentator's seat.
Major broadcast platforms began to broadcast one after another, and a large number of viewers and fans also entered their accustomed platforms to watch the game.
For most fish fans, it was a long time since the Asian Games before they finally had the opportunity to see Yu Hui officially playing on the court.
In the previous summer games, wanting to see her play was like drawing a lottery. Basically, it took a long time before she played. Many people couldn't catch her at all, such as the four people at the entrance ticket check at this time.
Four people, two men and two women, are two pairs of college students from Shanghai University. They were lucky enough to get tickets to the event.
"Wow, there are so many people!"
One of the girls wearing a Teemo cuckold looked around curiously. At this time, the venue was full of people, and it was very noisy.
You can see many people wearing green hats of the same style as hers, which can be regarded as ordinary outfits, and some even hold IG team flags or player figures and shake them in various ways.
Such an eye-catching operation naturally attracted the attention of many people at the scene. Some guys were not afraid of being the center of attention, and even waved their flags harder, which was really impressive.
There are also people who wear masks that cover most of their faces. This shows that the other person has someone they care about very much~
After checking the tickets, one of the boys came over with snacks in his hands and said, "I heard that the tickets have been sold out a long time ago. We are very lucky."
Another boy who was traveling with her complained: "I just don't know if Asuna will play in the game today, ugh~ such a pigeon."
"She should be able to play. JDG's strength doesn't look weak, but I don't know if she will be able to play@
After waving hello to the audience around the stage, the huge LED screen at the scene also started working, projecting the appearance of the contestants.
Jklove's handsome face was projected up
"Wow! Ah Shui is really handsome!"
"Ah, ah, Sui Bao, I can do that!"
"Damn, I got sucked into this cup again! But the bird is handsome!"
The crowd cheered and screamed loudly, but the discussion was also loud.
"Oh, I saw Brother Duke, Asuna is not in the starting lineup again."
"JDG can't put pressure on IG. If the blaster and the others are beaten, wouldn't Asuna come out? Let's make a big wave, JDG!"
Suddenly the voices supporting JDG became louder, which made people laugh and cry.
Time finally came to an end, and the doll’s voice rang from the commentary table:
"Summoners on the scene and in front of the screen, welcome to the 2018 LPL playoffs, the semi-finals between JDG and IG. Hello everyone, I am Wawa!"
"Hello everyone, I'm the commentator Miller!"
"I am Xiye~"
The three of them quickly introduced themselves and started the pre-match warm-up. Wawa and Xiye chatted:
"Today's game between IG and JDG, to be honest, I think it is very interesting. I wonder what you think, Xiye?"
"Me? I stand and watch..."
Xiye Xiaopi made the audience burst into laughter, and then he began to talk about his understanding: "I have played against this JD team several times. How can I put it this way? Their cooperation is very good and they are very team-oriented."
"But I am still more optimistic about IG's performance. In terms of personal strength, IG has an advantage. I feel that JD.com is not very good at leveraging its strengths. Of course, if it does, it will have a chance to beat IG."
Miller on the side also agreed and answered: "JD.com is a team that really cannot be underestimated now. It can be seen from their previous game against EDG. I believe I am not the only one who feels this way."
"But the IG team has created too many miracles this year. At present, no one knows where IG's limit is. Personally, I am more optimistic about IG."
"That's right!" Xiye said with certainty: "IG's charge and chaos are very strong. The point of the game between the two sides is whether JDG can withstand IG's charge. As long as the toothpaste is restricted, JDG will not be able to perform very well. Already."
Wawa, who had been watching the progress of the live game, concluded: "Okay, so now the BP has started, and now we officially enter the BP for the first game of this BO5!"
In the first game, IG, which had the priority to choose sides, chose the red side, and BP also implemented the ideas discussed in the training room.
He banned Enchantress, Qinggangying and Ryze successively, directly giving Yagao the greatest respect.
On the JDG side, Akali, Verus and Shindra were banned. Both sides used various tricks on BP.
After some back-and-forth BP battles, the lineups of both sides were confirmed.
Red side IG: top laner Sword Demon, jungler Zach, mid laner Jayce, bottom lane Kai'Sa with Braum, this lineup is really strong in the early stage, and it takes off instantly when it gets an advantage.
In comparison, JDG is much more stable.
JDG on the blue side: top laner Urgot, playing Boar Girl, mid laner Galio, AD Vayne, and auxiliary Tahm Kench. The lineup highlights a defensive counterattack, and anyone who replaces it will have a few teeth knocked out.
But the first game was not the fight everyone imagined. IG won the game with a score of 16-1, almost shaving JDG's head.
