As usual, the opening ceremony of the Intercontinental League finals was hosted by Roaring Emperor and Lian Zhuji. Everyone watched with great interest in the lounge.
Li Xu asked, "What's wrong with Roaring Emperor today? He's not as passionate as before. "
"Maybe his throat is damaged," MATA guessed. "He's been yelling for a long time. After a few years, his throat must be damaged."
"Don't make wild guesses." Haru was very experienced. "He'll start yelling when the teams enter the arena. I know that."
"How do you know so much?" Li Xu asked.
Haru felt a little sad. "Because every time you guys participate in the finals, I've been watching the opening ceremony from the backstage. I've seen it so many times, so of course I know."
"…"
When the representatives of both teams were about to enter the arena, Lian Zhuji once again displayed his passionate voice. He shouted the names of the teams one after another. His forceful manner made Li Xu and his teammates worried.
"Will he faint on the stage?"
"It's hard to say. In the past, there were only two teams in the finals. This time, there will be eight teams."
"That uncle is not young anymore, right? He's waving his fists and twisting his waist. I'm worried that he'll crack. "
"Li Ge's expression is asking for a beating."
"Tsk tsk! Coach's hairstyle is so cool when he walks. "
The discussions in SKT's lounge were always so bizarre.
After the opening ceremony, the order of the two teams was announced. LCK's first team was KZ, led by Mr. Dai. LPL's first team was the champions of the Spring Season, IG. Obviously, LPL wanted to get a good start.
Relatively speaking, IG's aggressive style was known to everyone. This team relied on their unrelenting fighting style to win the S Tournament last year. They also won the respect of countless fans.
On the other hand, KZ was not a very stable team. Although KZ's jungler Cuzz's style was very cautious, Mr. Dai's bottom lane was famous for his aggressive style. Rascal's top lane was also not a stable style. One could imagine that the two teams would fight fiercely when they met.
However, what was surprising was that the first match between the two teams was indeed very intense. However, under the circumstances of having a small advantage in the early stages, IG had not been able to defeat KZ in the middle stages of the series of chaotic battles that they were very familiar with.
Even though Mr. Dai had already performed the stunt of the pilot's sudden death, IG immediately followed up with a wave of Kesha's dive to deliver the kill. This allowed KZ to gain more and more advantages as they fought. In the end, they won the game in less than 30 minutes.
Li Xu: "Oh my! Since Mr. Dai has won, we can't lose. Come on, everyone. "
Li Ge nodded, "Today we will definitely win. Remember to catch Tai Min."
"No problem. I've arranged everything for him."
Li Ge thought for two seconds. "And Li Xu, if you're free, come to the middle lane for a few laps, but don't fight for the kill."
Li Xu had been in a good mood recently, so he was very magnanimous. "Don't worry, Li Ge. I'm not someone who likes to steal other people's heads."
Li Ge looked at Li Xu. "No, you are."
"… …"
So in your heart, I'm a dog with a human head?
Jin Zhengxun laughed and said, "Let's get the championship today, and we'll have a celebration dinner tonight."
After Jin Zhengxun finished speaking, his teammates all looked at Li Xu, which made Li Xu feel strange.
"Why are you looking at me?"
MATA: "You're not going to slack off again, are you?"
Li Xu always slacked off during dinner gatherings, causing SKT's dinner gatherings to not have enough people.
Li Xu waved his hand. "Not today. I don't have anything to do today. I'm going to eat all the coach's wallet today."
Jin Zhengxun laughed. "Other than Yang Guang, I've never seen a Chinese with such a big mouth. You can eat as much as you want today."
"That …"
Li Ge hesitated for two seconds before saying, "I'm not going today. You guys go ahead and eat."
"… …"
Fine! It seemed that they would not be able to get enough people for this dinner.
Doll, Mille, and Long-hair were in charge of the live stream commentary for today's Intercontinental Championship.
Mille: "IG unexpectedly lost to KZ in the first round, which will put a lot of pressure on the LPL teams later on. The matchup for the next round is out.
LCK's second team is SKT, which will put even more pressure on TES. I hope the lads can show their spirit. Let's not talk about winning or losing, but at least show LCK the glory of our LPL teams. "
Doll: "After all, TES's players don't have much international experience, and they're up against the strong SKT. I hope they won't feel too much pressure. We won't be surprised if they lose, but it'll be a surprise if they can defeat SKT."
Long-hair: "There's still a lot to see in this round. Our domestic ranked mid laner Knight is up against Li Ge, and 369 is up against Li Xu. I hope they can withstand the pressure. The second round will start soon."
After a short break, the second team from both teams took the stage. SKT versus TES.
Seeing that Li Xu was the first to take the stage, the audience in the front row raised their husky support boards. "Li Xu, promise us, don't act."
At this time, a fan in the front row suddenly stood up and waved the hand-drawn support board in his hand. He shouted in Chinese, "Li Xu, if you don't act now, when will you?"
Li Xu's back was drawn on the support board. He was wearing SKT's team uniform, and there were two words written below his ID in Korean and Chinese: "Loyalty to the Country."
Two large support boards in the front row of the audience reflected each other's brilliance.
On the stage, Li Xu almost laughed out loud. These audience members were too much.
Li Xu nodded and made an OK gesture to the audience, indicating that he understood.
Park Ji-hwan: "The players from both teams are taking the stage, haha! Contestant Li Xu's dedicated support board has appeared again. LCK's audience has been urging him in this unique way since the start of the Intercontinental League. However, it seems that LPL's fans are also here to join in the fun. "
Kim Ji-hyun: "Contestant Li Xu has responded to the audience, but we'll only know the meaning of his hand gesture when the match starts. However, Li Xu, we're all watching you."
… ….
Doll: "Aiyo! LCK's audience is too talented. We've seen this board for three consecutive days. Even when SKT wasn't playing yesterday, there were fans holding up this support board. "
Long-hair: "This is giving Li Xu too much pressure. Not only can he not make any mistakes, he has to perform at 120%."
"Brother, are you one of us? It's time for Li Xu to be loyal to the country. "
"I understand now. Li Xu has no intention of acting tough. Instead, he's going to be even more ruthless."
"Knight against Brother Li. Let's go with the Chinese mid laners!"
"A domestic top laner duel, it's finally here."
"369, beat up Li Xu, you'll be the number one domestic top laner."
"Beat up Li Xu and you'll be the world's strongest top laner. You still want to call yourself a domestic top laner?"
"369, roll your dice. If you roll a 9 today, you'll have a chance to play."
"I'm afraid you'll roll a 3."
"369 was beaten up by Nuguri in the previous round. Will the coach let him play this round?"
"Bear Emperor, hold back your laughter. You're invincible. Don't give up."
