In SKT's waiting room, the entire team sat together, waiting for the match to begin.
Li Xu sent a message to Lin Yuqing, confirming that they had entered the venue.
This time, Li Xu did not run out to wait for Lin Yuqing. After all, there was no need for him to send the tickets, as Zhao Enjing had already bought the tickets in advance.
Moreover, Li Xu was not familiar with the venue. Zhao Enjing and Lin Yuqing had watched the match the day before, so they would definitely be more familiar with the venue than Li Xu.
At this time, the atmosphere in the waiting room was once again laid-back. Other than Li Xu and Li Ge, who were rubbing their hands together, the rest of the team were imitating MATA and lying on the sofa, looking relaxed.
Li Xu could not stand it anymore, so he glanced at Jin Zhengxun, who was sitting on the sofa.
"Coach, aren't you going to do something about it? Look at them, they're too lax."
Jin Zhengxun took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes, looking at Li Xu blankly. Regarding this finals, he had already given them instructions before they left for the venue.
Moreover, wasn't this the normal atmosphere in SKT's waiting room? You were the one who started this laid-back atmosphere.
In fact, Jin Zhengxun rarely spoke before a match. The tactical preparations had already been done, so it was better to let the team members adjust themselves.
Therefore, unless they had lost the previous match, Jin Zhengxun rarely lectured them in the waiting room.
However, this year, SKT had not lost a single match, so the laid-back atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger.
Teddy, who was playing with his phone, did not understand. "Why are you so agitated?"
"Am I agitated? I just want to win, the MSI champion. "
"Don't panic, from the training competition to the MSI, the opponent has not beaten us once. What are you afraid of?" MATA looked up and comforted her restless little brother.
Li Xu clapped his hands. "Hehe! Brothers, let's get our spirits up, the battle is about to begin. "
Li Xu was about to give an impassioned speech when his phone suddenly rang.
"Hmm ~ ~ You're right."
Just as Li Ge agreed with Li Xu's words, he saw Li Xu curl up on the sofa and look at his phone happily.
Li Ge: "• • • • •"
Twenty minutes before the start of the competition, the staff informed the teams that they had to prepare to enter the venue.
Jin Zhengxun clapped his hands at the right time. "Come on, lads. This is the most important champion of the year. Go and bring the trophy back, just like you did in the Silkworm Gymnasium."
"Don't forget, we're SKT. SKT, forward!"
"SKT, forward!" Li Ge shouted. He was always eager to win every single championship.
"SKT, forward!"
"SKT, forward!"
When they arrived backstage to wait for their appearance, TL's players were already waiting. When they saw SKT's arrival, both sides started to chat.
There were many old acquaintances between the two teams. SKT's first generation leader, Dan Damu, and CoreJJ, who made Li Ge cry with his three stars, were both Koreans. Naturally, both sides had a lot to talk about.
Li Xu also started to chat with his senior brother. The two of them had communicated on Twitter many times. His senior brother was the king of flirting in interviews, but in reality, he was also the king of flirting.
His senior brother expressed that he hoped to see Li Xu in this year's S9 international finals, as he had already reserved a spot.
Li Xu complained in his heart. 'How many years has it been since you made it through the group stage, and now you're in the finals?'
'Arrogant! 'Arrogant!' After making it to the MSI finals, his senior brother had become completely arrogant.
Of course, when it came to flirting, Li Xu was not to be outdone. He expressed that he was ready to embroider the fourth star on his team uniform.
His senior brother also admired Li Xu's confidence. He had already reserved a spot in the finals, and this little brother was already the champion!
Later on, his senior brother even showed Li Xu his half-baked Shanghainese. However, other than 'Nong Hao' and 'Xia Nong Nong', Li Xu did not understand anything else.
At this time, the countdown for the opening ceremony had begun. Li Xu was also focused on the broadcast screen backstage.
When the countdown ended, the entire venue fell into darkness. The symbol of a fist slowly appeared in the middle of the stage, then disappeared.
A figure holding a violin appeared in the middle of the stage, and a floating stone platform appeared beneath his feet.
Clouds slowly appeared on the dark stage. In the distance, there were two or three stars, and a corner of the moon peeked out. The opening ceremony was a starry night.
The figure slowly played the violin in his hand, and the stone platform beneath his feet quickly sank.
The clouds rose, and the spire of a building appeared beside the stone platform. Following that, the main body of the building began to rise rapidly from below.
Li Xu recognized at a glance that this very unique building was Building 101, which he had visited yesterday.
It was also there that Li Xu heard Lin Yuqing's words that were as low as a mosquito's buzzing, but made him ecstatic.
That was his lucky place.
Today, it would also be his lucky place.
After the stone platform descended to the side of Building 101, it began to slow down. The two Chinese characters' Bring Back 'appeared on the stage.
The lights of Building 101 lit up, and two more people appeared on the stone platform with stringed instruments. The stone platform continued to descend with the three people, and buildings appeared one after another.
The other buildings were also brightly lit, and the bustling night scene of Taipei was presented on the stage.
The sound of a helicopter swept over, and a beam of light sprinkled down.
The four words' Your Glory 'slowly appeared from the bottom to the top.
The theme of this opening ceremony was very obvious, 'Bring Back Your Glory'.
Finally, the stone platform descended to the ground, and the night scene of Taipei gradually disappeared.
The three performers on the stage were still slowly plucking the strings, and the sound of the instrument became sad and low.
Small screens appeared on the stage, and on them were the scenes of the previous MSI players crying on the stage. That was the 'glory' that they had lost.
Suddenly, the sound of the instrument became more passionate, and the countless small screens disappeared, replaced by a huge screen.
The huge logo of Vietnam's Buffalo PVB team appeared behind the stage, and the faces of the PVB players slowly flashed past.
Then, the team logos and players of ISG, Fenerbahçe, BMR, Vega, Mega, and DFM appeared one after another.
When the team logo of Lightning Wolves appeared, the audience went wild. Even though FW did not make it out of the group stage, they were still a local team of LMS after all, and the audience in Taipei still gave them face.
"Wow! So shocking! "Zhao Enjing whispered into Lin Yuqing's ear.
Lin Yuqing agreed. When the audience was in an uproar, she could not hear Zhao Enjing clearly even if she whispered into her ear.
Even though the number of people in the audience was not necessarily as high as the number of people in the Silkworm Gymnasium, the opening ceremony of the MSI finals was much more shocking than the opening ceremony of the LCK finals.
Then, the logo of the LPL division appeared, followed by the logo of the LPL's Spring Season champion, IG.
LCK's logo of the Star and Eagle division appeared on the left side of the stage, and SKT's red team logo was on the right. Li Xu's cold face appeared in the middle of the stage.
"Yo! It's Li Xu. "Zhao Enjing squinted her eyes.
Lin Yuqing lightly pursed her lips.
"Good luck, Li Xu."
