Even after many years, the players of League of Legends would never forget the 'best-of-five' match that took place on this day.
Even in the second year that followed this year, the world would be shocked by an unprecedented showdown of the pinnacle. None of the subsequent finals could compare to it. But the 'best-of-five' match between SSK and God- Hand of God couldn't be overshadowed.
"I'm glad that I got to play League of Legends in the S6 season."
Later, a player posted an emotional comment on the Internet, and it received hundreds of thousands of likes and comments.
"Yes, I admit that I missed the first five seasons of League of Legends. I missed many exciting matches between professional players and club teams."
"But I don't regret it."
"Because I saw the finals of S6 and S7 with my own eyes."
"I saw what a true epic battle was like."
"Without a doubt, we can call that match in the S7 finals a 'legend'."
"But —"
"In Season S6, the five matches between Team God and Team SSK are still worthy of being called … 'legends'!"
The famous LPL commentator, Old Mi, quit his job as an official commentator in the ninth year of League of Legends. He then spent three months writing his memoirs. In his memoirs, he described the S6 Grand Finals as follows:
"Although I'm a retired veteran official commentator, even I, and the vast majority of people, are unable to make an accurate and professional judgment on the final showdown of S7. That's because it's beyond the limits of our expertise."
"It could even be said that it's beyond the limits of an entire generation of professional eSports players."
"But regarding the 'best-of-five' match in S6, I believe that with my years of experience and knowledge, I might be able to offer my own humble opinion."
"How do you rate this set of 'best-of-five'?"
"Too many people have used too many words of praise, so I'll just share my honest thoughts at the time."
"At that moment, there were only four words in my mind."
"Rising from the ashes."
"Yes, this evaluation is applicable to both teams at that time."
…
No one would ever forget the set of best-of-five matches in S6.
At the same time, they would clearly remember the most dazzling protagonist in the first set of best-of-five matches between SSK and God- Hand of God.
In the first game of a best-of-five, the MVP award was given to the winning ADC.
Team God, Snowy Nightsong.
On this morning in London, when everyone's attention was focused on the mid laner captains of the two teams, no one expected that the protagonist of the first match of the 'best-of-five' finals would be Wildsnow Nightsong.
Barren Snow's Nightsong, who was the ADC, Frost Archer.
As one of the top ADC players in the Chinese server's LPL division and one of the two core aces of Team God, Huangxue Nightsong's individual ability had never been overlooked.
However, because today's final was against Team SSK, people paid more attention to the battle between the mid laner captains of the two teams. On the other hand, they also considered the strength of Ray, the ADC of Team SSK. Therefore, they did not have high hopes for Huangxue Nightsong's bottom lane.
Indeed, in the current version, as long as the ADC could stabilize his growth in the early game and produce reasonable damage in the mid and late game, he would have fulfilled his role as the ADC.
More importantly, it was up to the mid laner to perform well.
However, Barren Snow Nightsong had used his Ice Marksman, Eich to completely overturn everyone's common sense in the first match of the best-of-five set. He had once again proven himself to the world in this top-tier professional arena.
Four minutes later, Ai Xi cooperated with her jungler Excavator in the first wave of GA.
She took the head of the opposing support Nami.
Seven minutes and fifty seconds later, the Excavator moved forward again. Ai Xi instantly learned an ultimate skill after leveling up to level six. She shot out a "Magic Crystal Arrow" and hit the opponent's support Tide Summoner Mermaid whose [Flash] was still on cooldown. She took another head.
Fifteen minutes later, the jungle dragon team battle. When the attention of both heroes was focused on the last sliver of the dragon's HP bar, the Frost Archer's ultimate skill, a sneak arrow, pierced through the air and hit the opponent, Single Dao Mei. The team battle began —
In the midst of the chaotic battle, Ai Xi perfectly positioned herself and attacked crazily, taking three kills.
Twenty-three minutes later, the minions were pushed to the opponent's second tower in the middle lane. Team God entered the jungle and turned to the top lane. Just as the figures of several God heroes disappeared into the bushes, Ai Xi shot out a backhand skill and controlled the opponent Jungler Prince who was about to try to chase after her.
Another kill.
Thirty minutes later, the Frost Archer's battle score was 7/0/3, close to godlike.
Thirty-five minutes later, the highland team battle. Ai Xi took three kills. Under the crazy firepower, the opponent SSK's front row formation was as fragile as a piece of paper and was easily torn apart.
Thirty-five minutes and fifty-seven seconds later, the first set of best-of-five matches ended.
Team God had won the first match of the season.
At Wembley Stadium, the audience below the stage was silent for a full three seconds. Then, as if they had just woken up from a dream, the live audience burst into earth-shattering screams and cheers, almost overshadowing the exclamations and praises of the professional official commentators on the commentary platform.
"We won!"
“
ice!!”
On the China commentary platform, the three Chinese commentators were overjoyed. Mo Sheng disregarded her ladylike image and slammed her fist on the table to vent her excitement. Fei Yan patted her chest, so excited that all she knew was to repeat the phrase "beautiful" over and over again.
Old Mi's face was flushed with excitement, and he spoke quickly and excitedly.
"Beautiful indeed!"
"Originally, we thought that we would be able to open up the map from the top lane and middle lane, but who would've thought that the bottom lane would give us such a huge surprise!"
"Zero deaths, godlike battle score! An Frost Archer! I don't need to say much. Everyone should know how harsh the environment is for an ADC in the current patch, not to mention an Archer like Eich who can't move, and not to mention a team like SSK! "
"It's all thanks to Blighted Snow Nightsong's individual skill!"
"Previously, some people said that Blighted Snow Nightsong might not be the best ADC in the Chinese server, but now I can say that other than him, no one else can live up to the title of the best ADC in the Chinese server!"
Offstage, backstage area.
Even the legendary players of the previous generation, including No. 1, couldn't help but express their admiration for Blighted Snow Nightsong.
No. 5 had a gratified look on his face.
"Little Nightsong's hand feel … is on full display today."
Over the past few days, as one of the specially hired coaches, No. 5 had been teaching Blighted Snow Nightsong with all his heart.
No. 3 raised his eyebrows.
"What was that title again? Seven Kings? "
The little notebook appeared in No. 4's hand again. He lowered his head to record something, then adjusted the glasses on his nose bridge.
"Yeah."
"This match will be decided."
"Nightsong's skill level is here."
