The LPL is now recognized as the first division in the world, at least so far it is undisputed.
IG, which defended the title of the World Championship for LPL last year, naturally became famous and became recognized as the number one team in the world.
This is the result of their hard work throughout this year's campaign, and it is also the global audience's recognition of their current strength and reputation.
Not long after, under the notice of the staff, the three teams returned to the backstage of the main stage.
No one in the audience left the stage. It was still crowded and loud, and everyone was waiting for this moment.
The S-game departure ceremony is undoubtedly the most honorable moment every year. The other team members who are still competing look at this scene.
They all showed expressions of envy and jealousy. Countless teams had been working hard for a whole year, just to be able to stand on the stage at this moment?
It's a pity that the stage is so small and can only accommodate three teams...
The cheers from the audience were so terrifying that the stage seemed to be shaking slightly.
Everyone knows very well that today will be the last time these three teams appear in China.
The next time we see him again, he will have to wait until a few months later on the Korean stage.
The spotlight rotated rapidly to attract everyone's attention, and the cheers were much quieter. The light was fixed, shining on a person who was familiar to the old audience.
It is Pete Zhu, the royal host of the expedition ceremony.
Standing under the spotlight, feeling the charm of e-sports permeating the venue at this moment, Pitezhu took a deep breath and stood on the stage where the lights suddenly became brighter and said loudly:
"The three teams representing the LPL division have completed their competition, and they will go to the S8 battlefield with the expectations of all fans!"
"IG! IG!"
"RNG!"
"IG!"
"EDG! EDG!"
The shot of the stage cut to a distant view, and the S8 logo and theme began to flash on the four large screens above the stage.
RISE
Reaching the pinnacle
The BGM suddenly increased, and Pitezhu's enthusiastic voice resounded throughout the audience:
"The number one seed——I~G!!!"
"ah!!!"
The scene was instantly plunged into a sea of cheers, and the sound soared into the sky. The audience in the live broadcast room could not hear what the people there were saying.
The whole place was filled with deafening shouts.
"In 2018, IG is so powerful that they are only one step away from the Grand Slam of the year. They are going to attack the honor that has never been touched before!"
"IG! Never surrender, invincible! They will move forward with determination and create a new legend!"
"Waiting for a golden rain! Waiting for a triumphant song! IG will continue to write its own legend!"
"No. 2 seed..."
Along with Pitezhu's passionate explanation, the canyon stage below slowly opened again.
The members of IG, RNG, and EDG wore black and red hooded jackets similar to windbreakers, and walked in a line to the center of the stage and stood in a row.
They are wearing this S8's Outcon, which looks very cool.
But in Yu Hui's opinion, if a few more auspicious clouds are sewn on~ahem...
In her previous life, she had seen the S8 Xiao organization's debut photos photoshopped by big-player netizens~ In terms of overall survival ability, LPL netizens said it was second, and basically no competition region dared to claim to be first. ….
Except Smecta~
"All the warriors who are going out have a common name, and that is LPL!"
"I believe that on the battlefield of S8, they will carry the desire and expectations of all LPL fans for victory! Create a legend belonging to the Chinese e-sports team!"
"2018, the global finals, we are ready for the future journey, now! Let's start!"
"IG plus
Oil! "
"RNG!"
"LPL! Come on LPL!!!"
The shouts from the audience were so loud that everyone's eardrums hurt, and at some point, the sky above the huge Summoner's Canyon was filled with golden rain.
UZI looked up at the golden rain falling in the sky, his eyes full of obsession.
Yu Hui reached out to catch one and held it in his palm. Different from the one when he won the championship, this time it was a kind of farewell, full of blessings and expectations from the entire LPL region.
The expedition ceremony officially ended
But its impact has just begun to spread around the world. A hot search on Twitter has landed at the top of the list, with a title of only four words.
#IG is coming! ! ! #
The G2 team tweeted immediately: "Wow IG! You dominated the first half of S8, but the S8 finals will be our home court."
"Just wait! IG will be our most important stepping stone in the S8 Global Finals!"
FNC: "??? Can you say this again after coming out of the S8 finals?"
G2: "NO! These are the bad teams in the playoffs. We can defeat them with just three legs!"
C9: "???"
GEN: "???"
G2's official blog was as showy as ever, and instantly set off another wave of excitement abroad.
There is rarely a team that can be deeply hated by fans and audiences in Europe, America and South Korea. If there is, it can only be G2~
Several big clubs such as G2 are fighting each other's hair, which has attracted a lot of traffic, and there are all kinds of messages on Twitter.
But basically the focus of the discussion is on the LPL division. For no other reason than other divisions have already determined their quotas for S8 teams early on.
Only LPL was confirmed just now, and the most important thing is actually. Because IG is in LPL~
There are many topics discussing LPL on the Internet, but almost 90% of the posts are about IG, and the other two teams are mentioned very rarely.
Because in their eyes, IG represents the entire LPL division!
The reason why LPL can confirm that the quota can be obtained by the entire network is because of the existence of IG!
In the first half of the year, IG crushed all participating teams with its suffocating and terrifying strength, setting a historical record of consecutive wins at MSI.
Coupled with the terrifying achievement of winning all the championships later, this made the whole world look at IG.
In the past, only one SKT team could achieve the phenomenon that was achieved by the entire outside world.
The LCK side naturally feels the pressure. The honor of the LPL first division has been ripped away from them, and now they must defend the dignity of the division.
Soon LCK’s No. 1 seed team KT updated new news on Twitter:
"Welcome the LPL region to the S competition!" (with photo)
The picture below is a group photo of Deft, Mata and Pan players. Countless people couldn't help but smile knowingly when they saw this picture.
The three heroes of the LPL specialize in the LPL division. This is already a world-famous old legend~
Some people on domestic Weibo also carried the rhythm of what happened on Twitter.
Naturally, KT’s photo of the three heroes was moved to China, which aroused heated discussion among LPL fans.
"I wouldn't even notice if KT didn't post a group photo. The three top players of LPL are now on the same team~"
"In 2333, both EDG and RNG entered the World Championship. KT may want to stage a showdown with his old team~"
"I have to say that KT's configuration is a real fortress. I believe this year's S-match will be great."
"The war between China and South Korea~ I understand everything."
"My big G2 has so no cards? I've already said what I said, so you don't think you saw it, right? (Gotou)"
