Finally, they arrived at the stage at the center of the World Cup Park. The stage was right next to the World Cup Stadium, and it was a popular outdoor performance venue.
Behind the stage was a huge electronic screen. Kim Ji-hyun and Park Ji-hwan sat on the left side of the stage, facing the camera as they talked about the international competition.
Under the guidance of the staff, the three teams stood on the stage one by one, drawing cheers from the fans below the stage.
LCK's departure ceremony was simple. Kim Ji-hyun introduced the three teams' journey this season, then all the players gathered to watch the LCK documentary on the big screen.
After watching the documentary, the coaches of the three teams led the players to cheer them on. After that, it was time for the players to interact with each other.
There were no long and emotional segments, nor were there any advertisements.
"This documentary is pretty good. The highlights of the season made my blood boil."
"The question is, everyone is in the spotlight. Why did Brother Li appear like a muggle who delivered his head in a flash?"
"Because that's the highlight of the others. Li Ge is in the background. Haha."
"This departure ceremony is pretty good. It's quite meaningful. LPL is f * cking Mercedes-Benz."
"Three minutes of departure, half an hour of advertisements. LPL's departure ceremony is tiring."
"It's coming, it's coming. My favorite interview segment. Xu Ge, hurry up and start firing."
… ….
The players of SKT and GRF left the stage first, leaving the players of DWG to be interviewed on the stage.
To be able to participate in the international competition for the first time in LCK, it was obvious that the players of DWG were very relaxed. They expressed that the most important thing for participating in the international competition for the first time was to learn. There was no mandatory goal. Of course, it would be best if they could get into the top four.
However, while most of them were very humble, Nuclear King Nucler stood up and spoke against the wind.
"I think we can be the runner-up. If SKT makes a mistake, we might be able to win the championship."
"We've played training matches with SKT before, and we've won before. That's why I think we can win the championship."
"Thank you to SKT for training with us. We're leaving for Europe soon. We don't need them to train with us anymore. We'll try our best to beat SKT in the international competition."
“GRF？ To be honest, I don't think they can do it. Although they were very good in the regular season, they lost to us in the summer tournament. They probably won't be able to beat us in the best-of-five. "
"Our individual abilities are very strong. Whether it's against LPL or LEC teams, we won't be at a disadvantage."
"I didn't perform very well in the Pro League this year, but I want to prove that I'm an excellent AD player in the World Championship."
"I hope to be in the same group as RNG. Everyone says that Uzi is very strong. I want to see how strong he really is."
Needless to say, Nuclear Emperor's speech was quite entertaining. His teammates and himself were all amused.
Below the stage, Li Xu, who was standing beside Choi Jung-yeon, saw how Nuclear Emperor wanted to prove that he was an excellent ADC. He subconsciously said, "You're still smiling? You're the worst."
Choi Jung-yeon was curious. "He said that he won against SKT in a mock competition. Is that true?"
Li Xu retorted, "Who doesn't eat dumplings during the New Year? Isn't it normal for our mock competition to fail once in a while? DWG's individual ability is not bad, but this person who can brag without blushing is a bit of a noob. "
"Xu Ge's words are too hurtful. You're still smiling? You're the worst."
"Li Xu: I can brag, but you guys can't learn from me."
"Li Xu's words are too honest. It's normal for him to fail in a mock competition."
"Where did Nuclear Emperor get the guts to challenge Uzi? I'm afraid he's going to explode again. "
"Nuclear Emperor actually has a good attitude. He's still able to brag even when he's scolded every day."
… ….
The remaining GRF players were much more subdued. They all obediently expressed that their team's goal was to make it to the top four.
Finally, SKT was the last to take the stage. The players sat on the chairs on the stage and picked up the microphones to greet the audience. There were a few cameras below the stage that were fiercely filming.
Li Xu was the first to sit. He secretly winked at Kim Ji-hyun, who was sitting next to him. Kim Ji-hyun pretended not to see it.
Park Ji Hwan: "Player Faker, this is your fifth time participating in the global finals. However, this time, your team doesn't have any old faces. Do you feel a little regretful?"
Li Ge: "It's a little regretful."
Then, the host started to stir up trouble. Park Ji Hwan: "If you could get an old teammate to come back, who would you choose?"
Li Ge blurted out, "Then it's better not to come back. Our current teamwork is pretty good."
Everyone could not help but laugh. This Guapi was too realistic.
"Player Li Xu, before this, you've repeatedly expressed that SKT is very confident in winning the championship. I believe that the LCK audience has the same expectations for this SKT team."
Kim Ji-hyun looked at Li Xu with a smile. "Other than SKT, this time, GRF and DWG are newcomers to the international competition. How far do you think they'll go? After all, you've fought against each other many times. You should know each other's strengths very well. "
Li Xu did not even think about it. "I don't know. Anyway, I feel that they're quite noobs. How far they'll go will depend on fate."
Kim Ji-hyun almost could not hold back her laughter. She knew that Li Xu was not one to be polite. She quickly continued.
"Their goal is to enter the top four. Do you think they'll have a chance to achieve their goal?"
Li Xu thought for a while. "That depends on their opponents. We haven't fought many teams from other regions in the official competition. I don't know if they're worse than them."
"Li Xu, you're making me laugh. I don't know about the rest, but they're very noobs."
"That's too hurtful. How far they'll go depends on fate. 23333."
"Li Xu's meaning is: A bunch of rotten fish and shrimps. How dare they ask me to predict their future?"
"When Li Xu spoke, I knew that this was not a simple matter."
"In Li Xu's eyes, they're all noobs. The only difference is between noobs and noobs."
"SKT's two Li's are both genius interviewers."
… ….
"G2's Jankos has announced on social media that if we meet in the international competition, he'll definitely kill you and take revenge for what happened at MSI."
Kim Ji-hyun looked at the hand card in her hand. "He said that although you're strong, you lack experience in the international competition. He'll use his rich experience to help Wunder defeat you."
"What's there to show off about losing experience? I've watched the international competition a few years ago. Jankos has been pulling his legs every year. Why didn't he change?"
After Li Xu finished speaking, he pursed his lips and added, "If I'm a jungler, I'll definitely be better than him."
"Tsk tsk! The fast band has appeared again. Xu Ge is so lucky. "
"If I'm a jungler, I'll definitely be better than him. Xu Ge's last stab is really ruthless."
"Shrimpy pig's heart. Pulling his legs every year, but he doesn't change. 233333."
"It's true. Every year when G2 was eliminated, Jankos was committing a crime."
