Chapter 332 The Legend Arrives and the Final Begins!

Chapter 332 - Legends come, the finals begin!

May 18.

The semi-finals of the MSI knockouts began.

Everyone's attention was attracted, and a shocking and impressive opening ceremony appeared.

The two teams that will fight today, LZ and AHQ, stepped onto the stage.

Whoever wins today will advance to the finals of this MSI, occupying the first of the two finals positions and guaranteeing the runner-up!

However, before the start of the game, there were relatively few highlights in this game, mainly because the two teams seemed to have a big gap in strength.

LZ's performance in MSL this year is worthy of being called the second favorite to win the championship after IG. The strength is very strong. Xiaohuasheng, who transferred here in the new season, did not feel any discomfort when he came to LZ.

Although Smeb was lost, Khan, who returned from LPL and is now in the limelight, is faintly replacing Smeb as the top single in LCK.

BDD's style in the middle lane is also very fierce, and the bottom lane is the two familiar big brothers, Pray and Groilla.

This combination is even stronger than last year's ROX.

The main reinforcement was achieved in the mid-lane position, and BDD was more able to cooperate with his invasion style.

A well-known team analyst once said that LZ's style of play this season, including personnel configuration, is very similar to IG.

Their top, mid and jungle are also strong, and the bottom lane is also based on stable development under pressure. The audience also knows that this team is best at using personal strength and online ability to suppress people and take resources, and then win.

So LZ was also given high hopes by everyone in this year's MSI.

Everyone believes that if there is any team that can stop the current IG, it is them!

The semi-final results also proved this point. LZ had an extremely strong 3-0, crushing all three games, and directly beat AHQ into autism.

LZ also successfully advanced to the finals.

The time came to May 19th.

IG vs. G2.

Today's game received more attention than yesterday. The two teams in the game alone were enough to excite the global audience and the home audience.

IG needs no further explanation. G2 is the top team in the European division this year.

Although it advanced with the fourth place in the group, which was not a good result, as a European team, it still took advantage of the audience, and the cheers of cheers were everywhere.

Before the game, the European gold medal commentator even gave G2 the titles of "God Killer", "Savior of the Global Team", and "Savior of EU".

Intend to kill IG and end the miracle!

Unfortunately, this wish is destined to fail. After two days of rest, IG is still in a hot state. In the first game, all three lines were greatly superior. The jungler performed well and easily pushed down the G2 base.

In the second game, IG had already started to play tricks. ADC Sima Laozei even said in the pre-match trash talk: "I think our team... can win even if we pull a dog to play AD!"

This statement instantly became a classic saying!

The meaning is very clear. Now our team is full of big players. Even a disabled person can win. Do you accept it?

There is only one word for "crazy". I, Han Jin, am crazy to the extreme!

Such an arrogant attitude has also attracted widespread attention from the world, allowing everyone to further understand the terrifying dominance of IG now, because if ordinary people say this, they must be sprayed with grass on their graves.

But Sima Laozei said this...

Sorry, I can't refute it!

There are also many foreign audiences, especially the home audience, G2 fans, who heard the naked contempt and shouted, hoping that someone would end IG, otherwise if they continue like this, they will really lose face in front of the world!

But soon everyone was desperate.

Facts have proved that arrogance is not terrible. What is terrible is that there is really no one who can stop them, and they can only let IG continue to be arrogant.

In the second game, G2 lost their base again, and the score was 2:0.

In the third decisive game, IG really started to play tricks and chose a new system. G2 was under great pressure and was forced into a desperate situation in the life-and-death game. They did not give up and took out a set of ultimate black technology that they had hidden for who knows how long. After a fierce battle of 40 minutes and nearly 50 minutes, they finally stole the IG base and got back a point.

But everyone was dumbfounded.

IG was playing so much, how could you win so hard?

There were also G2 fans who were excited and thought that IG was not invincible and G2 still had a chance!

But soon, when IG was alert and went all out, G2 in the fourth game fell into the despair of the first two games again. In the end, after 20 minutes, the big dragon had not refreshed yet, and the base crystal was flattened by a wave.

So far, IG officially advanced to the 2017 MSI Mid-Season Invitational Finals!

The miracle continued, and the world was instantly shocked!

The continuation of IG's miracle made everyone exclaim at this moment.

Sometimes it is like this. Even if you just look at the names of the two teams before the game, you already know the outcome. But who will really give up until the last moment, before the game starts?

E-sports has always been like this.

In fact, not only e-sports, but any sports competition, the word "upset" exists for a certain reason. Before the last moment to flatten the opponent's base, any changes may happen. There are also countless people who, even if they are not optimistic about G2, will have a little hope in their hearts that they have not discovered.

Behind the home court, the current hope was ruthlessly crushed by IG.

The semi-final match has moved from Rio de Janeiro to Sao Paulo.

At the moment when IG pushed down the G2 crystal, the venue that was passionate before the game was now so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

IG successfully entered the MSI finals of this year, and met with the LCK spring champion this year, and the old friend LZ team of the LPL region, in the finals, and started the final battle!

After the game.

The host Yu Shuang invited Yuan Shen. In the Sao Paulo Sports Center, with the attention of hundreds of millions of viewers around the world, Yu Shuang asked excitedly: "In the trash talk before the game today, SMLZ said that IG can win even if they tie a dog. What do you think of what SMLZ said? Do other people in the IG team think so now?"

The audience off the court was jubilant, and Sima Laozei's classic saying: "IG can win even if they tie a dog in the game" was considered to have set off the library.

Yuan Shen pondered for a moment, then said seriously: "I think what he said makes sense..."

"???!"

As soon as this interview video came out, Yuan Shen and Sima Laozei, as well as the news that # IG advanced to the finals # , immediately landed on the hot search list and dominated global public opinion!

Yes, this time it's not just domestic, but also foreign!

Nowadays, IG has been in the limelight in this year's MSI. In addition, they have advanced to the MSI finals this year. At this moment, everyone's words and deeds may become a famous meme and will be interpreted in various ways by the outside world.

In this way, IG's jungler and AD duo have become completely famous.

And IG entered the finals, and they are only one step away from winning the first global top and world heavyweight MSI world championship trophy in 2017, which is also their second MSI world championship trophy.

The domestic public opinion has been crazy for a long time, but in this short night, the discussion volume of the MSI finals is rising sharply!

Because since the establishment of the MSI competition in 2015, the first two champions were LPL teams!

EDG, and IG!

This year, it will be the same.

As I said, in e-sports, no matter how good your performance was before, no one can guarantee victory 100% until the last moment, at most the winning rate is higher.

Now that IG has been completely settled, how can domestic fans not be crazy?

The original EDG started to be enshrined after returning from MSI and completely dominated the LPL division!

The current IG is much stronger than the original EDG. Everyone is looking forward to IG holding the championship trophy, returning home and bringing glory to the family!

With such expectations, May 20th arrived as scheduled!

On this day, because IG made it to the finals, tickets were booked overnight last night, and LPL fans who flew from China came one after another.

On this day, major live broadcast platforms and major media have already done enough publicity and support, and the famous books and broadcasts have all changed to "Go IG".

After reaching the finals, there is no need to mobilize, because the words "World Championship Finals" represent everything!

IG got up early in the morning and didn't even eat, because there is no need to eat in the finals. Being hungry can keep your spirit in a state of concentration.

Although it is not good for your health, many players in the e-sports circle do this now.

Playing games on an empty stomach is exciting!

Coming all the way to the venue, what I saw and heard today is obviously different from usual.

The current Sao Paulo Sports Center is still familiar. I have been playing games on the other side of the ocean for the past few days. After the initial discomfort, the IG team has gradually become familiar with this place and adapted a little.

In the past, walking on the streets was always full of various romantic atmospheres. Whether it was architecture or humanities, the unique charm of South America could be felt in this city.

But today, when I walked all the way and waited outside the Zenith Stadium, I could see Asian faces everywhere!

Chinese!

All Chinese!

At this moment, it was not as grand as imagined, but it was this kind of natural support that made everyone feel inexplicably moved.

Looking at the scenes, although the background was the Sao Paulo Sports Center, I could hear familiar Mandarin in my ears. One of them was a girl from Northeast China, and her shouting was so kind.

It was shocking!

But now they can't meet and chat with these fans. After entering the venue and coming to the backstage, they started the final discussion before the finals, discussing today's tactics and BP plan...

At the same time, LZ on the other side had also arrived at the scene, doing the same thing as IG.

Time passed, and it was eleven o'clock in the afternoon in a flash.

This is Pacific time. In China on the other side of the ocean, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon!

Sao Paulo Sports Center.

The Sao Paulo Sports Center is now overcrowded.

The venue, which can accommodate tens of thousands of people, is full.

Although there are many fans who came here to cheer for IG today, including the LCK, many Korean audiences came, but this venue is too big, and compared with European and American audiences, the number of people is still crushed.

All major live broadcast platforms have been connected to the live broadcast, and the popularity has broken through the historical high before the game started, and the number of barrages per second is terrifying.

At this moment, everyone outside is ready!

And soon, a big 10 appeared.

The audience at the scene and in the global live broadcast room went crazy instantly!

The atmosphere and enthusiasm of the audience were fully displayed to everyone for the first time in today's highly anticipated world finals!

The roars were like a tsunami, and the sound waves drowned everything!

"10!"

"9!"

"8!!"

...

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"

"0.!"

Bang!

The fist logo fell, and the 2017 MSI Mid-Season Championship Finals officially began!

The bright venue suddenly became dark, and a numbing BGM sounded, which was exactly the theme song of this year's MSI Mid-Season Championship Invitational!

The gorgeous venue, the dim lights were flashing, the camera slowly moved, and the live band appeared, playing the chapter of this year's most grand event!

When the BGM reached the first climax, the big screen suddenly lit up, and the glorious journey in 2015 since the creation of MSI emerged, and the final peak showdown between EDG and SKT emerged.

Widowmaker and Undead Enchantress, Warp Song counter-camp and Morgana mid-lane...

Everything seemed to have happened yesterday, as bright and gorgeous as flowers, accompanied by the passionate voice of the English commentary, flashing by.

Then, the picture changed!

In 2016, IG fought hard with SKT in the semi-finals, and finally advanced to the finals, successfully defeating the North American Wings CLG. In the home court of Shanghai, IG won the MSI world championship.

Finally... 2017!

The championship scenes of the champion teams of each major region that advanced this year emerged one by one.

"G2!! They are back!! The kings are back, they pushed down the opponent's base and ended this massacre with a huge disparity in strength! They will represent the EU division and go to the MSI game!! "

"Invincible! After the name change, the LZ team is still strong. They defeated SKT and became the new spokesperson for LCK. They are the favorite to win the MSI championship!"

LMS, LCK, NAEU...

Finally, when the screen was given to IG, when the screen of IG holding the LPL Spring Finals appeared, the IG fans who came to the scene cheered wildly!

"IG! An unprecedented historical winning streak! The world's strongest team, the defending champion, they are here! With unparalleled dominance, the rise of the Eastern Dragon, who can stop them?!"

It was like a jar of fine wine that had been precipitated by history, with a mellow fragrance, telling the audience watching the finals around the world at this moment about the past of MSI and the two teams that fought for the top of the world today.

Finally, the voice gradually faded away.

The camera swept across the huge crowd of spectators, and then pulled to the center of the stage, where an exquisite and gorgeous, pure gold MSI championship trophy was quietly placed there, waiting for the person who was qualified to own it!

Close-up, close-up.

The background music suddenly rose.

The scene was explosive!

"How are you, summoners at the scene!!"

"After half a month of fierce battles and training, only two teams from the 14 regions around the world fought all the way to the end and came to the Sao Paulo Sports Center! The host shouted excitedly: MSI, the world's largest stage!"

"Today is destined to be a moment that will go down in history. These two teams are last year's defending champion IG and the LZ team that entered the MSI competition for the first time. Welcome them and encourage them! They are the strongest warriors, they are unmatched gods of war! Among these two teams today, the world champion of this year's MSI will be born, so let's welcome them to the competition site!"

"Oh oh oh!!

"First of all, welcome the LCK region, the spring season champion team, and LZ, where each player has outstanding personal abilities! ! "

After the words fell, the spotlight in the dim venue was turned on, not on the stage, but directly on the audience!

At the end of the central aisle of the right audience, LZ and his group walked down the stairs!

The scene was instantly crazy!!

Countless smoke was sprayed around, and with the red and green cheering sticks in the hands of tens of thousands of audiences, LZ and his group walked in the aisle of the audience, with enthusiastic foreign audiences on both sides.

The faces were excited and proud, and they looked very happy.

Looking at the left and right sides, it was a bit like a fight...

The atmosphere of the whole venue was instantly hot!

Everyone stretched out their arms and got close to the audience on the other side of the ocean. Every audience was crazy, and LZ's Everyone clapped their hands!

Someone gave LZ all kinds of gifts, which made the scene unusually heavy, like a coronation ceremony.

The BGM climaxed, and LZ finally walked to the center of the stage, standing at a 45-degree angle, facing the tens of thousands of audiences in the audience, all dressed in black, and the scene was crazy!

"LZ! LZ! LZ!!"

After all, LZ is the top of the LCK division. Although the number of global fans is not as good as IG, the players have many personal fans, especially Xiaohuasheng. The atmosphere of the South American competition is also evident at this moment. After the five starting members stood still, their names were immediately heard on the scene!

When the voice faded a little, the host said: "Well, LZ's warriors are ready, and what they are going to face is..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the explosion below the venue!

"IG! IG! IG! "

The cheers that were several times higher than before resounded, and the sound waves covered the sky, shaking everyone's eardrums!

Compared to the global influence, IG is now at its peak!!

The LZ team, who had just seen so many spectators cheering for them, were very confident and proud, but were stunned when they heard the voice, and Peanut even smiled bitterly.

"That's right! You have guessed who they are. Your cheers tell me that this is an invincible team! Let us invite the team that completed the Grand Slam last year, won the MSI and S games, and continued to win this year, crushing all teams - I~~~~G!!"

"IG!!"

"IG!IG!!"

The smoke "hissed" and the IG team walked out from the left side of the audience hall. As soon as the group appeared, the camera was turned to the projection screen, and the audience at the scene was already crazy.

Everyone likes the strong, and IG is that strong!

Since the S5 World Championship, they have won almost all the championships, and Yuan Shen has become a legend! !
