Wuhan Sports Center.
When RNG defeated FB with overwhelming momentum and helped the LPL region get a good start in S7, the whole audience was happy!
At this moment, the reputation of the five RNG players reached its peak. Under the cheers of tens of thousands of people in the entire venue, they went to welcome the flowers and praise that belonged to them.
On the other side, in the backstage, everyone in IG also took a deep breath.
The scene in front was so explosive that even in the backstage lounge, you can hear it clearly.
RNG has won now... Then the next team to represent the LPL region is IG!
For a while, everyone was excited and nervous, and their mood was complicated.
When everyone in IG was in a complicated mood, the game continued.
The second game today was G2 vs. Samsung, which was also eye-catching.
One side was the European giant G2, and the other half was the LCK team, Samsung!
There were no accidents in the battle between the two world giants with countless fans around the world.
Even if Samsung is only the third seed of LCK, in the context of the LCK region dominating the S game, other regions are all rotten fish and shrimp in their eyes!
G2 was no exception. Samsung's signature perfect operation, the whole game, G2 didn't even get the slightest advantage.
The game lasted 30 minutes, and Samsung won the game. It was also the first victory of the LCK region in this year's S game!
For a while, Korean G fans cheered, but the LPL people at the scene were a little depressed.
Although it's not good to think so, they really want to see the LCK team unlucky and fail...
After another game, when FNC was defeated by IMT, the IG people in the backstage had already stood up.
"Come on, brothers!" The RNG players who had returned also stood up. Xiang Guo patted Bai Qiu who was next to him.
His eyes were encouraging:"Just play with all your strength. The group stage is actually similar to the qualifying round. Don't be nervous!"
"That's right, TSM's strength is just like that, just go for it!" Others were also relieved.
Everyone knows that four of the five IG players have never played in an international competition. They can empathize with how it feels to experience this kind of occasion and scale for the first time!
""The second victory of LPL, please help me!" Someone made a joke, but the IG players were well-equipped and stepped onto the stage resolutely.
The second victory... When RNG had already won, tens of thousands of spectators and hundreds of millions of fans were in high spirits, if they lost... it would not only bring shame to LPL, but also instantly fall into the bottomless abyss.
They couldn't lose!
——
"Welcome to the first day of the 2017 World Championship Group Stage. Hello everyone, I am Wawa, the commentator for this game!"
"I'm Miller!"
"Hello everyone, I am Shenchao…!"
In front of the stage, in the commentary booth, three well-known LPL commentators appeared in front of the camera in formal attire.
Everyone had a smile on their face at the moment. Obviously, RNG represented LPL and got off to a good start for the first time, which made them very excited.
Seeing these three people, cheers suddenly rose one after another.
During the qualifying round, Wawa Miller did not show up, because according to their level, they would only commentate from the group stage.
This is also the difference between the qualifying round and the group stage. Whether in terms of staffing, attention, scale and value, the two are said to be a series, but in fact, they are worlds apart.
"Wow... the audience in Wuhan is really enthusiastic."Wawa felt the cheers from the audience and was moved.
"I've felt it these past few days, the scene is really amazing." Miller nodded and smiled:"And... the audience who bought tickets today should be happy, because our second seed RNG has already won the first opening game!"
"That's right!" When this was mentioned, everyone was immediately excited. Wawa said:"Of course, we can't be happy too early, because today, in addition to RNG, the other two representative teams of our LPL region also have games!"
"Yes... Then I believe everyone knows who will play this game." Miller took a deep breath:"IG! The third game will be between our LPL No. 3 seed IG and North America No. 1 seed.——TSM!"
As soon as the words came out, the LPL audience burst into cheers.
"TSM…"In the commentary booth, the three of them looked at each other, and Shen Chao shook his head and said,"It’s a strong opponent!"
"Strong rivals!" Miller nodded:"TSM is the first seed of the North American division this year, and... compared to IG, TSM is an evergreen in the S game. This team... this is the fifth time to enter the S game, right?"
"As for IG, we all know that this team is very young. Four of the five starting players in the team are playing in international competitions for the first time and have no international competition experience!"
Speaking of this, everyone is inevitably a little timid.
But when the time comes, we must support our own team.
"That being said, as the saying goes, there are always talented people in every generation. I think you don’t have to worry about IG’s strength. I can only say that this first group match is a test for IG! They have to play 1,000% of their strength!"
At this point, the director in front announced, and the few people looked at each other, and Wawa said:"Then... no matter what, the real test still needs to be tested on the court. The players in front are ready. Let us enter the BP interface of the third BO1 of today’s group match!"
After that, the director switched the camera.
They came to the BP interface.
In this game, IG was on the blue side and TSM was on the red side.
Both teams obviously knew their opponents well.
At the beginning, TSM banned Olaf, who played very well in the group stage, and then mainly targeted Rookie, which is also a must for every team playing against IG, banning Syndra and Spear of Vengeance.
IG targeted TSM's thigh Bjergsen, the orphanage director with the same name as Rookie, and banned Taliyah, Leblanc, and the strong Lulu in this version.
In the first round of bans, both sides released the very popular bottom lane combination of Xayah and Rakan. Seeing this, IG immediately grabbed Xayah, which Xiaoxi is good at.
When it was TSM's turn, they also helped Bjergsen get the signature Clockwork.
After that, both sides continued to choose. They made a lot of preparations before the game, and the selection was also very fast.
In the end, the first round of the two sides was settled.
IG: Xayah, Galio, Kindred.
TSM: Rakan, Clockwork, Lee Sin.
All the choices were bottom lane junglers and mid laners, but there was no choice about the top lane.
"Here…IG didn’t pick the top lane in the first round, did they want to see TSM’s choice first and give Cheirsh a counter position?" Miller lamented:"IG…I really think highly of the player Cherish."
"Yes… Hey, IG, you’ve chosen, are you sure?"
At this moment, the second round of bans ended, TSM confirmed the fourth pick, and it was IG’s turn, and they directly showed a top lane hero. This hero made everyone a little confused.
