After the popularity accumulated by professional development leagues and professional leagues in various major regions, the global finals this time can be described as global attention.

The League of Legends S game is also the undisputed e-sports event with the highest global popularity, the best viewing experience, the strongest competitiveness, the highest competition bonus, the highest event brand value, and the most influential e-sports event.

The competition will last for more than a month. The competition system is divided into three main stages: the play-in stage, the group stage and the knockout stage. Among them, the 12 teams in the play-in stage compete in the group stage and the knockout stage, and compete for four teams to enter the competition. The group stage of the finals.

In the group stage, the 12 teams that directly advance to the group stage and the 4 teams that advance to the play-in stage are divided into four groups, and the teams compete in a double round-robin Bo1 format (a single match), and the top two teams in each group Enter the knockout round.

Then the 8 teams that have advanced to the group stage will compete for the final champion through the Bo5 system.

Today's FTD has completely transformed from a grassroots team into a top professional e-sports team in China, and even entered the global finals as the second seed in the LPL league.

Although it is the No. 2 seed, FTD has the highest popularity and is also the strongest contender for this championship. Along the way, FDT has created countless miracles, and the road to counterattack has also become a story in the circle. Even Gu Zheng is also looking forward to the performance of this team in the global finals.

At present, there are three Huaxia teams directly entering the League of Legends S competition, namely the No. 1 seed SKY team, the No. 2 seed FTD team, and the No. 3 seed Xingchen (XC) team.

In addition, there are teams such as Longteng (LT) and TK that are currently competing for the final group stage places in the play-in.

The beginning of the League of Legends global finals also instantly increased the user activity of the competitive e-sports platform, and the user data of the live broadcast channel also continued to rise.

But this time, the live broadcast channel of Zhengfeng e-sports platform is not the only channel to watch the live broadcast of the game. You can also watch the live broadcast through the Hualahuala platform in China, and many foreign media have spent money to buy the live broadcast rights of this game.

After a week of fierce competition, Huaxia's Longteng team successfully broke through and entered the group stage from the play-in stage.

The day before the start of the group stage, the official platform of Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment, in conjunction with a number of media and music platforms,

They jointly released the theme song "Nirvana" and MV for the "League of Legends" global finals.

Not only that, Gao Xilin also sang the song "Nirvana" live on the same day through the live broadcast platform to build momentum for the upcoming League of Legends group match.

"Wow, the theme song for the finals, Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment is really a music production company!"

"Haha, how much Gu always likes to make music. During this period of time, I don't need so many music works for e-sports games. I didn't expect to create music works in the competition!"

"But this theme song is so good, Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment is really a music company that was delayed by the game!"

"It's so burning, watching the MV arouses my blood, looking forward to the next game!"

"Gao Xilin's voice is so good, this song is so suitable for her to sing!"

"The English version is also super nice!"

"The official announcement has just been made. At the opening ceremony of the finals, Gao Xilin will sing the theme song live, and many top singers and dancers from around the world will perform live!"

"Looking forward to it, it must be very beautiful!"

"I just want to see my goddess Zhang Zhiyue, she should be a guest commentator!"

"Definitely, she is now one of the official e-sports commentators of Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment, and she is also the absolute top e-sports anchor at present, no less famous than those celebrities!"

"I heard that there will be simultaneous commentary in 16 different languages ​​when the finals come, tsk tsk, this event is really comparable to the World Cup!"

"The World Cup may not be watched by so many people. There are absolutely no players and spectators of League of Legends, and many professional players in the world who like to play football and engage in football!"

"The influence of this competition is really not lower than that of the World Cup. You see the names and sponsors of the manufacturers, all of them are the world's first-line big names!"

"I heard that the official said that new heroes will be released at the opening ceremony of the finals!"

"Hurry up to the finals, waiting for Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment to release a new game!"

The theme song "Nirvana" quickly became popular around the world, bringing more attention to this competition and igniting the blood of countless League of Legends players.

After the start of the group stage, the number of viewers live on the entire network of the game rose to a new height, but by the time of the first day of the knockout round, the number of viewers of the match had already doubled from the beginning of the group stage.

The three seeded teams in the Huaxia Division successfully advanced to the knockout stage, and the SKY and FTD teams both advanced to the knockout stage with the first results in the group.

The Xingchen team also qualified second in the group, but the Longteng team regretted to be eliminated and stopped in the group stage.

Among them, SKY is definitely a royal team with a golden key. They are the team of Hu Guyue Club, and two of them in the team are those teenagers who were first trained by Gu Zheng and broadcast live matches. For example, they are famous in the circle. Luo Xiaohao.

From a certain point of view, they are also the enlightenment teachers of most of the current professional e-sports players.

Of course, if it comes down to the final analysis, in fact, everyone's enlightenment teacher is Gu Zheng, Luo Xiaohao and the others are just messengers, but Luo Xiaohao is indeed the first batch of e-sports players, and is currently one of the most powerful professional players in the world.

In addition to the SKY and FTD teams, the most eye-catching teams in this competition are the LBC team from Kimchi and the AKA team from North America. These two teams are also recognized by the industry as the teams that are expected to become champions.

On the first day of the knockout round, China's No. 1 seed SKY defeated the No. 1 seed GL team in the European Division 3:0, becoming the first team to advance to the semi-finals.

The scene of this game was also packed, and the highest number of simultaneous viewers of the game live broadcast reached an astonishing 100 million, setting a record for the highest number of simultaneous viewers of the game. Of course, this is also because of Luo Xiaohao's personal popularity and popularity in the world.

On the second day of the knockout round, the FTD team will play against T9, a team from North America.

Therefore, the scene of this game is also full of people, and the number of viewers on the live broadcast platform is also very large. Although it does not exceed the data of yesterday's SKY game, it is similar, and the number of viewers in China alone has exceeded SKY.

At the beginning of the game, FTD lived up to expectations, easily won two consecutive victories with an absolute advantage, and also won the match point.

In the third game, FTD came up with a lineup that had never been used before, which made many people think that they had a chance to win, and they were going to treat this third game as a practice game.

And this is indeed the case. They are full of confidence in today's game. They also believe that Kimchi Country's LBC team and North American AKA team can also reach the semi-finals, and they will also encounter LBC in the follow-up games. and AKA team.

FTD is very familiar with the SKY team in the same division. The two sides have played against each other many times in the previous LPL games, so they basically know each other, but these two teams from foreign divisions are relatively unfamiliar, and even apart from each other in practice games so far In addition, they have not played against each other in the official arena.

So during this time, FTD and the others conducted in-depth research on the playstyles and routines of the LBC and AKA teams, and explored some coping strategies. New lineup, new tactics, in order to deal with more variables.

They have practiced this lineup many times in the past few days, but they have not officially brought it to the field, so they plan to test the water today.

Just as the knockout round was in full swing, Gu Zheng was in the Bird's Nest venue, watching the rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the finals.

The finals of the League of Legends global finals will be held in the Bird's Nest Stadium, and the opening ceremony of the finals will also be performed here. At present, the venue and stage for the entire competition have been built, and the first performance rehearsal was also held today. .

"Guzheng, this stage effect is good!" Wang Di, who was sitting under the stage, said with a smile.

"The effect of watching the live broadcast with VR equipment is better. We have done a lot of special effects combined with game elements!" Gu Zheng is not humble, they have definitely put a lot of effort into this opening ceremony performance, and vowed to create the world's most shocking stage The effect completely ignited the excitement of the entire event.

"In the future, for the concerts and gala parties of our company's artists, you will also help me design and play some new tricks!" Wang Di said with a smile.

"It's good to say..."

On the stage, popular female singers from the United States sang songs enthusiastically, and the dancers in the back danced with light and shadow special effects. Although it was only a rehearsal, the singers and actors were very hardworking and serious.

Moreover, they all have rich stage experience, and there are almost no mistakes in the first rehearsal.

But even so, Gu Zheng still asked them to do many on-site rehearsals, and they had to be absolutely foolproof. The attention of this finals is definitely far more than all the current competitions. It is also the first S competition. No blemishes are allowed.

On the field, although FTD came up with a new lineup in the third game, it still played well, won the final game steadily, and successfully reached the semi-finals.

In the next two days, South Korea's No. 1 seed LBC also won the game without any suspense, eliminated their opponents, and entered the semi-finals. The AKA team of the United States also crushed their opponents 3:0 and entered the semi-finals.

The teams facing each other in the semi-finals will be decided by the captain's draw.

"Although we are very happy that we have been promoted to two teams by ourselves, but we are so worried, don't run into your own country's team!"

"Yeah, I'm so afraid of a war in our division!"

"It is estimated that both LBC and AKA are praying not to draw the Huaxia team!"

"If there is a civil war, I'm looking forward to FTD's counterattack against SKY. To be honest, it was a pity for FTD in the LPL finals, and they almost won the first place. I think their performance in the global finals is better than that of SKY. outstanding!"

"Yes, I will always support FTD, defeat SKY to prove yourself!"

"Anyway, there are hatreds and grievances in the LPL next year, and now is the time to unite with the outside world!"

"Yeah, and wouldn't it be better if our two teams can enter the finals, one first, one second, let people from all countries in the world see the strength of our Huaxia team!"

"Haha, that must be very cool, the finals have directly become the LPL finals!"

"It all depends on luck..."

Amid the enthusiastic discussions among netizens, the draw for the semi-finals finally came to an end.

As many Chinese netizens wished, FTD and SKY did not meet in advance. FTD played against the LBC team of Kimchi Country, and SKY played against the North American AKA team.

As soon as the news came out, Huaxia fans and players were really excited and relieved. Many people were also shouting that all LPL teams entered the finals, and foreign teams stopped in the semi-finals.

However, the netizens of Kimchi Country shouted on major platforms that the FTD team and the SKY team were stopped in the semi-finals, and the champion was the LBC team.

Players from Europe, the United States, Australia and other countries are all on the side of the AKA team, hoping that this team can kill SKY and advance to the finals.

Many people even said that if both FTD and SKY entered the finals, they would not watch the finals.

"Hey, if the foreign teams are not good enough, I'm afraid the finals will really turn into an LPL civil war!" Hu Guyue pinched his brows and smiled bitterly.

"If that's the case, there's nothing you can do, but I don't think the result will be, maybe it won't be as we feared!" Gu Zheng said, in fact, from a personal point of view, he naturally hopes that both teams from his country can enter the finals , won the top two.

But from the business point of view of the event, Gu Zheng actually wanted to see the competition between two different national teams, so that the finals would be more interesting and exciting, otherwise it would really become an LPL competition.

Then this originally global competition has lost its flavor. I am afraid that except for the die-hard fans of the two teams, others seem to care less about the outcome. After all, no matter who wins, it means that China won the world championship. .

This will inevitably seriously affect the ratings and attention of the finals, and greatly reduce the influence of the event. This is what Hu Guyue and Gu Zheng do not want to see.

But if it is two different countries, it will be different. The dramatic suspense of conflicts and conflicts are all coming, which can definitely attract countless players to watch, and countless people who eat melons to watch.

This battle will also become a story, a milestone in the history of e-sports.

"Look at the performance of FTD tomorrow, if they enter the finals, then I can only sacrifice SKY!" said Hu Guyue, as the current shareholder and main person in charge of the League of Legends event.

Hu Guyue naturally has to consider the brand of the competition and focus on the interests of the competition itself. After all, this is the first global finals, and it is a critical moment for them to build the brand of the S competition, so he hopes to do anything for the best results. other sacrifices.

Including sacrificing your own team.

"No, we can't deprive every professional player of the right to pursue their dreams. This will go against the original intention of our competition and it will not be fair to your players. If this matter spreads out, it will have a greater impact on our competition!" Gu Zheng said, Although he can understand Hu Guyue's consideration and sacrifice for the overall situation, and SKY's main mission was to serve the entire event brand and system, so Hu Guyue's words may really make them choose to lose the game.

But Gu Zheng didn't want to do this, because he didn't want to ruin everyone's chance to pursue their dreams. Maybe it seemed that he had given up the competition and there was still a chance in the future, but Gu Zheng knew that for those young people who missed this competition, They may have missed the chance to lift the Summoner's trophy forever.

There are not many opportunities to come back in life, and opportunities are sometimes fleeting. He established the League of Legends event, hoping to give everyone a fair chance.

"That's fine, but..." Hu Guyue hesitated.

"In short, we can't do that. No matter what the result is, we will accept it. Even if the ratings of the finals plummet, we can still make the first event brand!" Gu Zheng said with a serious expression.
