Grand Opening of the 2017 League of Legends Global Finals!
October 5th
Wuhan Sports Center
half past ten in the morning
When IG took the bus to the entrance of the backcourt of the stadium, everyone was shocked.
They could hear the busy discussion and buzzing noise of the staff from the backcourt of the sports center. For a moment, it felt unreal.
After all, other than Rookie, they had never felt the atmosphere of a finals.
Although the qualifiers and knockout rounds were also held in the sports center, the atmosphere of the finals was different from the past.
Soon, the 16 teams that were shortlisted for the group stage arrived at the sports center in the city.
The IG team entered the backcourt under the lead of the staff. Along the way, they saw many blonde-haired, blue-eyed foreigners wearing headphones and busying themselves.
During the qualifiers and knockout rounds, although there were many foreign staff members, most of them were translation.
It was not like now, where the busy field control dispatch or any random staff member was a foreigner who spoke fluent English.
The IG team did not receive any attention when they appeared.
Even though he was wearing the team uniform, he did not attract the attention of the staff.
Most of them would turn their heads after a glance.
Sorry, they were not familiar with IG.
If IG wasn't from one of the four divisions, the LPL, they wouldn't even bother to look at it.
In the eyes of the staff, IG's status wasn't much different from the wild card zone.
They only knew that the LPL had RNG, Edg, and other veteran teams like SKT and C9.
After that, the live director brought the various teams to familiarize themselves with the opening ceremony's rehearsals and the entire opening ceremony's process. He impatiently explained it to the people in charge of each segment over and over again.
This couldn't be done carelessly. The League of Legends finals were broadcast live.
In order to prevent any accidents from happening during the performance, the IG team was rehearsed several times by the staff before they were allowed to return to the lounge.
Rather than calling it a lounge, it was more like a common lounge for all the participants of the opening ceremony.
When the IG team entered, the players and coaches of STK,SSW, C9, FMC, and other teams were already in the large common lounge.
The appearance of IG caused a brief silence in the common room.
The players and coaches of the various teams also looked at them, but they quickly looked away.
It was obvious that he was not interested in them.
Only Faker's eyes wandered around the IG players before finally landing on Lin Yi.
The players from the EDG and RNG teams were also in the common room.
When they saw the IG players arrive, they quickly called for the IG players to sit beside them.
In the following time, the players of the various teams greeted their acquaintances in the other divisions, or laughed happily and talked about some interesting things in the competition.
Among them, RNG's star player Uzi and the manager of the star team of the EDG greeted the foreign players that they were familiar with one after another. The other members of RNG and EDG were also chatting happily with the players that they were familiar with.
Only IG was shivering in a corner, looking pitiful and helpless.
As the opening time got closer and closer, the players gradually quieted down.
half past one in the afternoon
Tens of thousands of viewers from all over the world arrived as scheduled.
The stands, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people, were filled with voices and heads. At a glance, all kinds of banners could be seen, and the team flags fluttered in the wind.
Many of the LPL fans in China were holding small flags in their hands, with flag pictures pasted on their cheeks as they looked excitedly at the stage.
In the cosplay area, all kinds of young ladies and men cosplayed their favorite heroes and looked around excitedly.
This time, the scale of the global finals was the largest in history.
In order to expand the influence of League of Legends, Riot Games and Baidu had spent a huge sum of money to organize a feast for the global finals. In this country with a long history, it was necessary to hold the most magnificent, influential, and successful S competition.
After two months of promotional preparations, the S7 League of Legends finals had already attracted the attention of countless people.
All walks of life were paying close attention to everything here.
Battle B, Douyu, Tiger, the official platform, and other major websites were all broadcasting it in all directions.
As long as the opening ceremony was broadcasted today, the number of viewers in any of the live broadcast rooms would easily exceed 10 million. The dense bullet comments were even more dazzling.
The number of viewers on the official platform directly exceeded 100 million, and the screen was filled with comments of cheering for the LPL or red flags.
Soon, at 2:30 PM, the host from the LPL went on stage to warm up the audience.
Let the audience count down to the 2017 League of Legends global finals.
2 PM, 59 minutes, 50 seconds.
There were several large screens on the competition stage in the sports center, and the number "10" suddenly appeared on the screen!
The audience in the stands also became excited and counted down in unison.
"Ten!"
"Nine!"
"Eight!"
...
“3！”
“2！”
“1！”
