After the performance of True Harm Band, both teams were ready to go on stage.
Following the live performance of the theme song "Nirvana" by the two singers of this year's World Championship, the big screen in the stadium shone brightly. The middle screen showed the scene of SKT's Summer Championship winning team raising their glasses.
At the same time, as a comparison between the two teams, Li Xu and Jin Gong appeared on the left and right screens respectively.
Jin Gong appeared on the right screen with his arms crossed in front of his chest. At this moment, if he could say "Xi Ba", he would be able to reappear in the live broadcast room.
Li Xu appeared on the left screen with his arms hanging down naturally. The light shone from behind and outlined his straight silhouette. The shadow on his face covered most of his face, making him look mysterious and deep.
Seeing Li Xu's appearance on the screen, Lin Yuqing could not help but say to the two people beside her, "The contrast between the person on the screen and Li Xu is too big."
Although Li Xu pretended to be deep on the screen and looked like the king of acting tough, in reality, his personality was very amusing.
"Indeed, he doesn't look like him at all."
Kim Jin-hee smiled slightly and waved the small board in her hand. On the board, there was a humanoid figure wearing SKT's team uniform with Li Xu's name written beside it.
It was obvious that this soul painting was drawn by the little girl, Bao 'er. The little girl kept pestering her aunt, insisting that she bring it to the scene to cheer for Li Xu.
Choi Jung-yeon looked at the board in Kim Jin-hee's hands with interest. "This support board drawn by Bao 'er … is quite interesting."
"Li Xu taught her to draw it."
"Oh ~ ~ ~ Then it's fine."
… …
After the top laners of both teams, the left and right screens continued to show the comparison of the other team members. The middle screen alternated between SKT and FPX in their respective leagues.
After the comparison of the five starting players of both teams ended, the singing faded away and the lights in the stadium dimmed. Only the huge box in the middle was still emitting a golden light.
The eight team logos were displayed on the screen behind them. They were the winning teams from S1 to S8.
FNC, TPA, SKT, SSW, SKT, SKT, SSG, IG.
The eight team symbols were arranged in an arc with the golden box on the stage as the center.
Among them, only SKT had three identical team logos. Samsung, who had won the championship twice, had a different name and team logo.
Assassin Star, SSW and SSG, who had changed their names, were no longer part of League of Legends. However, they would still be mentioned in the annual World Finals.
The box that was emitting a faint golden light slowly opened on its own. The four sides of the box opened like flowers in full bloom, revealing the Summoner's Trophy inside.
"Salute the emblem of the previous kings."
"These are the rulers of the past."
"SKT's row, three identical team logos."
"The emblem of the Assassin Star is too funny."
"Assassin! The Battle Emperor Bloodline that I left for LMS has already been used up. LMS will be gone next year. "
"This opening of the box is too cool."
"When I'm old, I'll put down my keyboard. This is also my belief."
"The ninth Holy Grail War."
… ….
As the Summoner's Trophy appeared in the middle of the stage, the stage lights gradually lit up. The five members of both teams had already gone up the side stage and were looking at each other across the middle stage.
Under the guidance of the staff at the side, the two singers left the stage when the performance came to an end. The members of both teams went up the main stage and stood on the left and right sides of the trophy.
"I wonder where Lin Yuqing and Sister Jin-hee are?"
Li Xu stood on the stage with his hands by his sides. He glanced at the dense audience and suddenly felt that it was a little silly to pose like this in front of 20,000 people.
"Hello, Paris! Welcome the two finalists of the 2019 World Finals. "
The live host began a simple speech below the stage, then introduced the players of both teams.
Not sure if it was because all the European teams had been eliminated, Li Xu realized that the fans in the stadium were not as passionate as they were during the semifinals. During the semifinals, the moment the host opened his mouth, the stadium was filled with thunderous cheers.
"First of all, we look forward to the return of glory to the LCK division, the legendary three-time world champion team SKT."
SKT's fans burst into applause. Even the neutral spectators hit the inflatable sticks in their hands to give this legendary team some face.
The host lowered his voice. "Top laner, making his first appearance on the stage of the finals, the invincible King."
Every time in the World Finals, the host would add some description when introducing the players, no longer just announcing their positions and IDs coldly.
The camera panned to Li Xu. He raised his fist to express his gratitude to the fans who supported him.
"Go Li Xu! Go SKT! "
Choi Jung-yeon rushed to cheer with her hands clasped around her mouth. Kim Jin-hee was stunned for a moment, then immediately waved the support board in her hands.
"Go Li Xu! Bao'er is also looking at you. "
"Go Li Xu, the gift is ready."
Lin Yuqing waved her left hand, the silver bracelet faintly discernible in the dim light of the stadium.
… ….
"Jungler, also making his first appearance on the stage of the finals, aiming to be the champion, the rhythm engine, Clid."
"The legendary mid laner who led SKT to win the World Finals three times, Faker."
As expected, when the host introduced Li Ge, the audience cheered loudly. As long as no European teams appeared on the stage, the European spectators were still willing to lean their butts towards Li Ge.
"The ruthless output machine in the team battle, Teddy."
"Once the champion support, the experienced team brain, Mata."
It was worth mentioning that the host described Li Xu as invincible, while FPX's top laner, Gimgoon, was described as invincible.
An invincible spear against an invincible shield. The smell of gunpowder in the top lane was exposed during the introductions of the two teams.
For this finals, other than Kim Ji-hyun and Park Ji-hwan, Han Wenliu was also a guest commentator, Li Shiyu.
Of course, Li Shiyu was not the Korean celebrity, but the jungler of the ancient CJ team, Cloud Templar. During the S2 era, he was once considered the strongest jungler in Korea.
Kim Ji-hyun: "It's finally here. After two years of waiting, SKT is finally standing on the stage of the finals again. LCK's glory has finally fallen on SKT's shoulders. This time, they will face the rising LPL division, and their opponents are even stronger."
Park Ji-hwan: "The players have appeared. SKT's five players are the strongest line-up that LCK can bring out. This year, these five players have completely shrouded LCK in SKT's shadow. Now, it's time for the world to feel the fear of being dominated by this invincible warship."
CT: "Some say that with the development of eSports, the gap between teams will become smaller and smaller. However, no matter if it was during the OGN era or later on in LCK, there has never been a team with such dominance. It's time for SKT to establish a new dynasty."
