what the hell

Chapter 526 All eyes are on, the winner is king!
In much anticipation, came May 5th.

EDG and KZ will have their second match after the 2017 World Finals at [-] pm.

In order to prepare for the game, the EDG players slightly adjusted their biological clocks during MSI, changing the wake-up time from 03:30 noon to [-]:[-] pm.

It was only eight hours until eleven o'clock in the evening.

The status will basically not decline.

After all, even a factory director who is worthy of entering the ranks of "living fossils of e-sports" will not be 25 years old in two months, so it is unlikely that he will not be able to survive this time.

Get up and take a shower.

I ate a five-cent full vegetarian meal.

Guaranteed to digest a lot at the beginning of the game, without affecting the oxygen supply of the heart and lungs, especially the brain.

Check all kinds of sponsor-designated clothing including socks, and bring spare peripherals for emergencies. After checking again, all EDG members board the bus and go to the stadium that can accommodate 5 to 7 people. Paris Zenith Stadium.

"We don't need to keep what we practiced before, just choose when we have the opportunity."

Abu made arrangements again: "Things that can be used now may not be useful in the summer split. There is no need to hide them. It is best to get a small score from KZ first."

"Don't worry!" BP coach Maokai patted his chest and promised: "Go to the first game!"

Although the content of the 8 revision from the S8.9 preseason to MSI has weakened EDG to a certain extent, it has not yet reached the level of a fatal blow.

You can find another way to solve it.

For example, the Gem Juggernaut that can occasionally be seen in Rank slashing a street, and the mid laner of Portal + Banner of Command can make up for the problem of a slightly weaker posture and a decline in the status of the factory manager.

After a 7-minute drive.

The bus stops at the main entrance of the Zenith Stadium.

EDG players entered the lounge through the dedicated passageway, quietly waiting for the game to start.

Although no European home team participated in this final, the stadium was still full of seats.

On the one hand, there are more than 30 Chinese and Korean students studying in Europe, and many of them have already booked their air tickets to support their team.

Another aspect is...

European teams have been absent from finals for many years, everyone is used to it...

The sun sinks a little bit to the west.

When the last few minutes of the afterglow remained, all the spotlights in the Zenith Stadium were turned off, and on the big screen, countdown numbers made of golden squares lit up.

10...

9...

……

……

3...

2...

1...

At the last second, the golden numbers exploded suddenly, turning into the official logo of the fist smashing the barrier.

Immediately move down.

Beneath the League of Legends 2018 Mid-Season Invitational banner, the golden Canyon of Champions trophy gleamed in the only ray of light.

thump——

thump——

Accompanied by the percussion of the traditional European musical instrument xylophone, the MSI-Victory theme song that started with Dragons sounded, and the camera rotated half a circle around the stage lit up with ashes and lava special effects, and turned to the official cutscene.

The 2015, 2016, and 2017 opening and champion teams' lineups and player silhouettes emerged one by one.

The camera pulls up to come to a bird's-eye view of the earth from space.

Then rotate to Paris marked with a red dot.

The six champion teams that participated in the group stage competition left their exclusive marks in the MV.

Among them, there is the little day PGM that was put into a state of silence by the second original.

There is North American TL who sadly bid farewell to the knockout stage.

There is FNC who is unwilling to leave.

There is the seemingly free and easy, but actually helpless Lightning Wolf FW.

The last two are pictures of EDG and KZ waving to the audience after their promotion.

The Champions Canyon trophy once again appeared in the center of the screen, showing a full-scale close-up from the base to the top, and the last note of the MSI-Victory theme song was struck.

"Good afternoon, all summoners!"

"Welcome to the site of the 2018 MSI Mid-Season Championship!"

"This year's MSI mid-season champion, the two teams in the final duel are EDG from the LPL division and KZ from the LCK division."

"Next, let us warmly welcome KING-ZONE DragonX!"

Accompanied by the European host Boyko's deep voice, KZ contestant walked out in a mist made of water vapor, and clapped and interacted with the audience on both sides of the railing.

Take to the main stage and pose for a photo standing behind the trophy.

"Next is the EDG team, which has won all the world-class competition trophies since the S6 finals. In this MSI, they easily defeated Fnatic and came to the final stage again!"

"Let's send EDward Gaming fans who belong to the king!"

A sword-like beam of light lit up in the dark corridor, piercing the silence, and the EDG members headed by Xing Dao filed out and walked steadily to the half-court area vacated by KZ.

Cheers, shouts, and the collision of aids sounded again.

"Next, let us introduce the members of the KING-ZONE DeagonX team!"

The host Boyko waited for the enthusiasm to take a break, and went to the main topic: "The top unit in the LCK, Khan!"

"Jungle position, get back to your form, Peanut (Little Peanut) who is on the top again!"

"Middle unit, won the division championship, and BDD is making a comeback!"

"AD position, the first generation of Rat King, experienced PraY!"

"Auxiliary position, GorillA who has the strongest support without the surname M!"

"Coached by an experienced coach: Sin!"

Familiar IDs were read out from Boyko's mouth. After the audience supporting KZ calmed down, Boyko spoke again: "EDward Gaming's top laner is General who has never lost a single since his debut and has made countless opponents fearful!"

The voice did not fall.

Wave after wave of cheers overwhelmed the IDs blaring from the loudspeakers.

For a time, no other voices could be heard at the scene, and even the normal process had to be temporarily stopped, allowing the audience to vent their emotions first.

"Tsk tsk tsk!"

"What is card face, this is called card face!"

"Just Khan still wants to touch Brother Cijie, I don't know how many blocks are missing."

"One thing to say, I think KZ's strength this year is much stronger than last year's. The addition of Peanut has brought their strength to a higher level, and they are worthy of the runner-up of this year's MSI."

"The MD40-meter long knife almost didn't get back."

"I don't know what hero Jie Ge uses today, I feel that this version can be used a little..."

"Don't worry, Brother Jie won't beat Khan with it. Do you understand the gold content of Equality Plus?"

"9494."

"Look at Khan's ugly face."

"Fuck, what about reading comprehension here?"

"..."

The barrage took nearly half a minute before the host Boyko continued to work: "Jungle position, legendary veteran Clearlove7!"

"Middle unit, LPL powerhouse in ancient times, Zztai with a second spring!"

"AD position, genius boy, JackeyLove who won the world championship right after his debut!"

"Auxiliary position, Meiko who won the Grand Slam achievement with the team and is recognized as the number one!"

"And their coach, Maokai!"

"After a full ten-day journey, the two teams of EDG and KZ will have a final battle. This battle is highly anticipated. This battle... the winner is king!"
