Unlike Douyu's broadcast of the Kespa Cup, the exclusive rights to broadcast the LCK Spring Season were in the hands of another streaming giant, Huya.
All the LCK Champions League matches in the new season would be broadcasted exclusively by Huya.
Today was the opening match between SKT and JAG. Huya's commentators were Ze Yuan and Hao Kai.
The match had not started yet, but the two hosts were analyzing the strategy, the changes in the new version, and the changes in the new season's lineup.
The live stream channel was extremely lively.
"SKT, go for it! Crush JAG. "
"Guapi is the world's number one. Beat them up."
"JAG's captain is gone. He's going to crash. Just wait for the captain to beat up the new captain."
"Go for it, Xu Ge! Beat up their trash top laner. Didn't you look down on China's players? "
"Did Eunjung go to see Guapi? I couldn't find any news about her. "
"I'm here to see Miss Minna."
"Go away. Miss Minna is mine, Xu Ge's."
"Then I'll see Miss Zhi Xian, okay?"
"Go away. Miss Zhi Xian is mine, Xu Ge's too."
"F * ck you …"

As the opening ceremony progressed, it finally came to an end.
Li Xu and his teammates entered the preparation room. After ten minutes of preparation, the opening match of the LCK Spring Season officially began.
Jin Zhengxun did not arrange too many strategies. Although it was the opening match and everyone took it seriously, they were facing a team that had lost their core player.
After the Kespa Cup, SKT's performance spoke for itself. As long as they were careful, it should not be difficult to take down their opponent.
Finally, the match was about to begin. As the team's top laner, Li Xu took the lead and walked out of the preparation room.
The atmosphere in the stadium was very lively, but it could not compare to the enthusiasm of the Kespa Cup. There were no wild cheers, and there were no boos. Of course, Li Jiu's name was waved continuously among the countless support signs.
This was the most normal eSports scene.
Maybe this was not bad? At least this was a brand new beginning.
After sitting in his seat, Li Xu checked his equipment and waited for the match to begin.
Today, the Korean TV broadcast was still done by Kim Ji-hyun and Park Ji-hwan.
Kim Ji-hyun: "Half a month ago, SKT picked up the championship trophy after a year. Today, LCK's new journey begins. I wonder what kind of surprises this spaceship will bring us. Let's wait and see."
Park Ji-hwan said, "SKT's lineup is the same as the one that won the Kespa Cup. No changes have been made. It seems like Coach Kim Jong Un is very satisfied with this lineup."
Park Ji-hwan: "Of course, this match is very interesting. JAG's former captain, Teddy, will be facing his former master. Also, the conflict between Li Xu and Lindarang has been constantly discussed by the netizens. No matter what, everything will be decided in the match."
Kim Ji-hyun: "In my opinion, the conflict between Li Xu and Lindarang is actually not that bad. It is not as intense as the netizens made it out to be. Li Xu also did not post any harsh comments online. This China player has a very good mentality. After some time, people will realize that he is not that strong."
Park Ji-hwan joked, "Haha! Miss Kim Ji-hyun seems to know Li Xu very well. "
Kim Ji-hyun smiled. "Of course, he is the first person to praise me on stage."
Park Ji Hwan: "I don't know if JAG's playstyle will change after losing Teddy. After all, this team is used to using the AD as the core to win battles. Now that Teddy is gone, I don't know how they will perform."
In the Chinese Huya live streaming room.
Ze Yuan: "The BP of the match is about to start. The first match of the LCK Spring Season has begun. The most anticipated match between SKT and JAG is about to begin. Li Ge and Li Xu are both on stage. Let's cheer for them."
Hao Kai: "This season, all the teams have changed a lot. The only team that has not changed is GRF. Ze Yuan, which team do you think will win this season? SKT will return to the top, or GRF will take the throne? "
Ze Yuan was silent for two seconds. "GEN G."
"True, Colonel Guan will always remember the three stars …"
"Ze Yuan, it's not easy for you either! If we win, we go crazy together. If we lose, we fight together. We will never leave. "
"I came when you were at your best. I won't leave when you are at your lowest. Touching, 23333."
"Don't laugh, all of you. I, Lieutenant Guan, will never leave the three stars. Can you champion fans compare to me?"
"Good luck, Li Xu. Bring out Yasso and beat them."
"Get lost. Don't mention Xu Ge's Yasso again. You are a reverse healer. You are trying to harm me, Xu Ge."

Most of the Chinese viewers were not familiar with JAG because they had never appeared on the international stage.
This team sponsored by Korean Air was known as the best team in the history of LCK.
When Teddy was the core of the team, there was only one way for JAG to win a match, and that was to drag it out until the later stages of the game when Teddy took over.
Both teams had AD as their core. GEN G.'s team composition was not bad. They all had the ability to carry the game. However, in the previous season, JAG could only rely on Teddy to win matches.
In the previous season, Teddy had won most of the MVP awards. As long as Teddy did not make a sound, JAG would lose without a doubt.
In the previous season, JAG had won 2: 1 against SKT, and Teddy had won two consecutive MVP awards.
In the final match, the two teams had played an epic game that lasted 95 minutes, breaking the record for the longest game in the history of League of Legends.
Teddy's Sivir's 1465 last hits had also set a record, and it would be difficult to break it in the future.
SKT's Wolf had just been announced as the starting jungler, but after this epic battle, he was relegated to the support position.
Wolf's jungler, Princes, had only dealt 7,929 damage in the 95-minute match. Even if Factory Manager's Blind Monk had played, his damage would have been more than that.
This season, JAG's members had also undergone a major change. Only two players remained unchanged. Lindarang, who did not get along with Li Xu, had only been transferred from HEL to JAG this season.
This team, which had always been in the middle of the league, always gave people surprises.
When everyone thought that they had a chance to win, they would still act like a dead fish and say to their opponents, "Come, come, come, if I steal points from you, consider it my loss."
When everyone thought that they would lose without a doubt, they would always jump out and slap you in the face. In the previous summer tournament, GRF had been winning all the way. Just when they were in the limelight, they were defeated by JAG and dealt a heavy blow.
In the previous spring tournament, JAG had faced ROX, the predecessor of Hanwha's HEL team.
Their competitor, KSV, had already lost to KZ, and ROX only needed to defeat JAG to advance to the playoffs.
In the end, JAG, who had lost all the way, relied on Teddy's perfect performance to defeat ROX, and directly carried KSV into the playoffs.
Originally, Brother Crown, who had lost the match, had been crying on the field and was ready to pack up and go home to prepare for the summer tournament. In the end, no one expected ROX to fail.
After the match, ROX's mid laner, Lava, cried and said, "I will never take Korean Air's plane again."
