Chapter 211 Climbing to the Extreme Realm!Shock the world S8! 【Ask monthly ticket】

[PS: It is better to watch this chapter with BGM, recommend BGM (2018 Global Finals theme song!)]

10 month 7 number.

The finalists for the 2018 Global Finals came to an end in Busan.

The end of the qualifying round also heralds the official start of the group stage.

This is also the most watched S race every year!
After a week of fierce fighting, the four promotion places for the S8 finalists have also been determined.

They are:
The third seed in the LCK division: GEN (Samsung team renamed).

The third seed in the EU Division: G2.

The third seed in the Northern NA Division: C9.

The last is the third seed in the LMS Bay Bay Division: GRX.

The quota for the four strong teams to advance to the play-in competition is determined.

This year's S8's biggest carnival feast, all the places have been settled.

The sixteen top teams in the world are divided into four groups.

They are:
Group A: FW, GRX, PVB, G2.

Group B: FNC, RNG, GEN, VIT.

Group C: EDG, AFS, TL, MAD.

Group D: KT, 100T, C9, IG!

Among the four major groups, the three LPL teams were divided into groups B, C, and D respectively.

Among them, EDG, which received the most attention, was assigned to Group C.

This group is also the focus group that has already received a lot of attention before the competition started.

Except for EDG, the team that everyone is most looking forward to and familiar with, among the remaining three teams, TL and MAD are not discussed.

MAD only sends points, and TL is a new strong team in North America after changing its name this year. The team has a veteran player Oki.

Still have some strength.

But compared with the other two teams in Group C, these two big brothers seem humble and weak.

EDG.

AFS.

Let's talk about EDG first.

The champion of the last S7 global finals, the team even has a world-renowned superstar like Xu Cheng.

Not only is it very popular in China, but it is also very popular overseas.

It can be said that after a year of development and change.

EDG has long gone from the original "It's uncomfortable to go to any group" to "Which group I go to, which group is the death group"!
Obviously, Group C is the first group of death this year.

Not only has EDG the defending champion of the last S game.

There is also a rising star in the LCK division like AFS.

AFS, African team.

The African team in S8 can be regarded as the most glorious year since the establishment of the team.

In S8, where SKT failed to even enter the S game, KT went forward bravely, and finally stopped pulling the hips, and got a status that matched its own strength——

The No. [-] seed in the LCK Division!
KT dominates, but AFS is not far behind.

As an unknown team in the past, it can advance to the global finals as the second seed in the LCK, which is slightly worse than the first KT.

I have to say that AFS is really strong.

No one dared to underestimate their strength.

Group C has EDG and AFS, which is basically a situation where two gods fight.

Seeing the other two younger brothers, they could only tremble.

Even as the outside audience ridiculed——

I have the heart to want to die!
Except for Group C, the program effects and strengths of the other groups are also very dramatic.

For example, RNG in Group B and the renamed Samsung.

During the S7 period, RNG was in the same group as Samsung, and even double-killed Samsung in the group stage.

Unexpectedly, in S8, the two teams met again.

It's just like Huanxi's enemy, you can't get rid of it.

The two teams, which are deeply entangled in grievances, are about to stage a classic drama about whether Samsung succeeds in revenge or RNG continues to be Samsung's father.

The group assigned by the last team in the LPL division.

Group D.

This group is also relatively dead.

The main reason is that KT is in this group, which is doomed to the tragic end of the other three teams in the group.

At least... so far audiences around the world think so.

The biggest highlight of this year's S competition is not just the grouping of the teams at this stage.

At home and abroad, in South Korea, the most discussed and hottest teams are actually two teams that have not met in the group stage.

It is also currently the number one seed in the world's strongest first and second divisions——

EDG, KT!

What is the relationship between EDG and KT?
In layman's terms, the two teams can be described as the relationship between father and son.

Of course…

At this year's S8, the specific who is the son and who is the father depends on the specific results of the two teams' matches, and who can win against each other.

At present, the possibility of EDG becoming a father is as high as 90.00%.

Since the end of the S6 Global Finals, 7 Sauce kicked out in shock.

The two big daddies in the team, Alpaca and Fatty, left the team angrily.

Among them, the alpaca was interviewed in public and told the reason why he left EDG:
"Staying in this team, I don't see any hope of winning the championship."

Can't see any hope of winning...

It is conceivable that S6's kick really broke Mr. Dai's defense.

And because of this, it triggered a lot of confrontation between fans of both sides.

Mr. Dai and Pang are the double Cs of the second generation of EDG.

The two can be said to have single-handedly established EDG's past glory, and I dare not say that all champions have their share of credit.

At least, the two accounted for more than [-]% of the credit.

Being fat was even ridiculed, and the factory manager hugged his waist and broke it.

So the factory manager found a thicker waist...ahem...it was Xu Cheng.

Now two years have passed.

S6 turned into S8 in a blink of an eye.

The KT of S7 is known as the Galaxy Battleship, unrivaled.

In the end, he made a good move in the bubbling match of the S game, and was short of a move.

Angrily threw the keyboard on the spot, unable to participate in the classic S7 that can be called the most in the history of the league.

As early as the S7 period, everyone has been looking forward to the reunion of KT and EDG in the S game.

After all... To put it bluntly, KT is a team that broke away from EDG!
In addition, Mata, the former RNG's big daddy, is the half-master of the current EDG's first jungler...

KT has become a Korean team with the deepest connection with the LPL division.

The three heroes of the LPL are not called for nothing.

Everyone has been looking forward to the duel between the two since then.

Although they met once in the intercontinental competition, the S game is the S game, the world's largest stage, and it is not comparable to the intercontinental competition.

Everyone wants to see, in the EDG team, who was in C...

Meeting in the international competition, old friends in the past, now enemies of life and death.

Father and son bureau?Friends Bureau?Enmity Bureau?

Or is Xu Cheng an EDG traitor?

All kinds of old memes broke out uncontrollably when KT and EDG advanced to the 2018 Global Finals at the same time!

On a global scale, a wave of "nostalgia" has been set off.

[This year's group looks good! 】

[No, no, I think the semi-finals might look better! 】

[Buy and leave, buy if KT and EDG can meet in the S8 finals, bet on this side, otherwise, bet on this side...! 】

[Turtle, Mr. Dai, long time no see! 】

[Tears!The ancient EDG and the current EDG have finally officially met! 】

[It's a pity, EDG and KT are both No. [-] seeds, and they won't meet in the group stage!The factory manager has already retired. 】

[The quarter-finals are tough enough, I hope the two teams can meet in the semi-finals or the finals...I can't wait to see Buddha kill a EDG traitor...]

[Master Xu cleans up the door for the second time! 】

Cleaning up the door, old and new EDG, a duel between two generations of giants.

Although the factory manager has retired, his two eldest fathers have met!
Fat father and Buddha father, two Xu fathers, which one is stronger?
All of this, with the approach of the S8 race, has made countless viewers and fans excited.

There is no official pre-match publicity, and the popularity of the two teams has skyrocketed at a rapid rate!

The S8 global finals are also gradually starting to warm up.

And as time goes by, the atmosphere and enthusiasm for watching the game has become more and more explosive.

After all, it has been developed for a whole year. With the foundation of S7, the global finals of S8 has a natural advantage.

The popularity, attention, and gold content are all full!
And just under this expectation.

10 month 9 number.

The day before the opening ceremony of the 2018 Global Finals.

The official finally released the annual S game, what everyone pays most attention to and wants to see most——

2018 Global Finals theme song MV!

The annual theme song MV is indeed the part that everyone is most looking forward to as the S competition approaches.

It is also the theme song that is a favorite to hear every year, rendering a legendary color for the S game.

The theme song of S2 is the most familiar "BO5 Battle Hymn" for all audiences today, even passers-by who don't play LOL or watch games.

S7, the legend never goes out, corresponding to the rise of the new king of EDG, and the collapse of the SKT building, Faker in red turned his head in tears and stared at the trophy.

S3, S4, S5, S6...

There are also many theme songs, all of which are classics among the classics.

Both popularity and quality are top-notch!
And this theme song called "RISE" is no exception!

This theme song, which is almost no less than the eternal legend of S, will become the most classic and most widely sung song after S7.

Play games with your feet and make music with your heart.

As expected of you, Fist!
At noon today.

Countless people were full of anticipation and excitedly clicked on the theme MV released on the official Weibo.

Even EDG and the fifteen powerful clubs that advanced to the global finals are no exception.

One by one, they opened the long-awaited MV for the first time.

Click on the video.

What came into view was an uninhabited desert.

The sky is full of yellow sand and the hurricane is raging.

In the desolate desert, despair and death are the main colors here.

"Ya-ya-ya-ya...!"

The dry and hoarse voice of the crow sounded.

Bang.

A pair of beautiful leather boots caught everyone's eyes.

Camera moves up.

A slender figure wearing a white cloak, lined with white armor, and a moon-white cloak appeared.

In her right hand she holds a signature elegant rapier slanted.

The blade is sharp, and the silver-white blade reflects the outline of the red sun in the desert.

On her left hand, there seems to be some imprint...

The entire face of the figure is completely shrouded in the cloak, and her appearance cannot be seen.

But on her chest, there is a classic black team logo——

EDG.

In the center below the EDG cartoon team logo, there is a shining star.

This is…

The mark of an S game champion!

The crows are still making noise, and the yellow sand is still raging.

The swordsman in white armor seemed to be seriously injured, and took a few breaths violently.

Step forward and continue to walk forward.

The lens gradually zooms out.

With the swordsman as the center, pull higher and higher.

And as the camera leaves the swordsman, the scene around the swordsman is gradually exposed to everyone.

A body that had already fallen dead.

All the bones were piled up, and the blood flowed like a river, dyeing the yellow desert in blood red.

These corpses have different shapes and different movements.

The only thing that can be seen is the clothes on their bodies, each with shining logos.

C9, AHQ, TSM, G2...

Without exception, they were all among the sixteen strongest teams in the S7 Global Finals!

Just these people...

Now they are all defeated and dead.

Armored and white clothes simply ignored these fallen opponents.

She stepped forward step by step, and the entire sky was rendered blood red.

It was as if no one could stop her progress.

"Ah, ha!!"

suddenly.

A sunny voice sounded.

Jess, who looks eight times like Khan, appeared in the road shot.

Brother Hanzi fired a super-powerful cannon and blasted at the scarred swordsman without warning!

It was as if a certain string had been plucked suddenly.

The BGM is getting more and more passionate, and it has reached its first climax!
Jian Ji, who seemed to have lost all her strength, moved like a rabbit, and the moment Jess Cannon blasted out, she leaped up like a roc spreading its wings!

When he came to Jess, the light flickered.

The golden Buddha lotus was born!

bang bang bang bang...

Like the most elegant swordsman in the world.

Also like the world's most ruthless killer.

Facing a series of violent attacks from Sword Girl, Khan has no power to retaliate!
A figure so handsome that it takes one's breath away, a blade so sharp that it can pierce everything in the world.

The sword shines like a dragon, and it goes out to sea and tosses!
The swordsman had already flown into the air, his body was tumbling, and there was a breeze blowing.

A flawless, heroic face was revealed.

This is a face that everyone is familiar with, but very strange.

Sword girl?

No, maybe this is the combination of Xu Cheng and Jian Ji!
Everyone can see from this side profile that Jian Ji's profile at this moment is so similar to Xu Cheng's!
Swish, boom!
Jian Ji flew behind Jess, and continued walking forward without looking back.

Jess, who was standing, had already knelt down on the ground.

Camera pans down.

Jian Ji's left sleeve robe lifted up.

It was a statue of Vajra Buddha, a tattoo surrounded by Buddha light...

The passionate and passionate BGM reverberates.

The armored white clothes fell to the ground lightly, and Jess behind him had already turned into a corpse.

She didn't stay, let alone stay where she was.

Instead, the pace was unwavering and continued to walk forward.

The endless desert seems to have finally come to an end.

Here, a figure that had already stood upright was silently staring at Jian Ji who was not far away.

The figure is also shrouded in shadow.

Dressed in a pitch-black robe, holding the prince's unique Fangtian painted halberd.

Jian Ji's footsteps, which had never stopped, finally stopped.

The two stared at each other in silence.

A gust of wind suddenly hit from a distance.

Swish.

The figure under the black robe revealed its face.

Wearing a pair of glasses, with a calm and haughty expression on his face——

The soul of the Samsung team, head An!

"RISE! RISE!"

The disappearing BMG suddenly sounded.

It's like a switch.

Head An suddenly trampled the ground under his feet, and when the gravel cracked, his whole body was already like a spear, like EQ, pointing directly at the opposite sword girl!
The prince holds a halberd and shoots like a dragon!
Jian Ji's eyes froze, and she raised the rapier in her hand, and also soared into the air.

Head on! !
Bang!
It's like a collision where the earth shakes and the mountains shake.

The white sword light flashed in an instant.

Jian Ji and the prince switched positions again.

In the silent and windless desert.

Jian Ji stopped for a while, and finally stepped forward, without turning her head, and continued to step forward.

Bang.

The arrogance still hung on the face of Head An behind him, but he had already fallen to the ground.

Samsung, pawn! !
When seeing this, coupled with RISE, RISE's passionate BGM, the blood and adrenaline in everyone's body have already burned and boiled!
All the major powers in the world were defeated.

LZ and Samsung also fell.

that…

Who else?
No one else?

In the camera, Jian Ji finally walked out of this desert, which symbolizes death and desolation, after going through all kinds of difficulties and dangers, mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

only…

At the end of the desert, there is actually a bare cliff.

On the other side of the cliff is a towering mountain.

The bottom is like the abyss of hell.

Dead end!

This turned out to be a dead end! ?

Some people's eyes widened, and the emotions in their hearts were actually changing according to the predicament Jian Ji encountered.

The sword girl in front seemed to be stunned as well.

She fell into silence, even more confused.

Could it be... all in vain?

"RISE! RISE!"

The passionate and high-pitched BGM sounded again!

Jian Ji's eyes burst out with an unprecedented brilliance.

Stepped on the ground, the ground cracked, and the whole person instantly jumped off the cliff like a roc...

No, this is not jumping off the cliff, but flying directly towards the opposite side of the cliff!

Even though there are many thorns ahead, I will never regret it!
Sword Princess is attached to the opposite cliff!
She is like a warrior climbing from the bottom to the top of the mountain.

Step by step, climb up!
During the period, there were violent winds and showers, thunder and lightning.

The gods are all angry because of this arrogant and daring sword girl.

How dare a mortal climb the mountain? !

only…

No amount of difficulties and obstacles could stop Jian Ji's determination to keep climbing.

The cliffs are so steep that they cannot even be touched by human beings.

The moonlight white robe on Jian Ji's body had already been torn by the strong wind.

The clean and flawless face was also scratched by the stones.

but she…

Finally climbed to the top of the mountain!
Suddenly, everything around me changed.

Quiet, peaceful.

The birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, the birds are singing and the swallows are dancing.

There are fish swimming and goats and elk running.

There are two completely different worlds under the mountain and above the mountain.

Jian Ji was covered in scars all over her body, she stared blankly at everything in front of her, as if lost in thought.

Ok?
The sluggish eyes froze, and Jian Ji's eyes fell not far away, the throne that seemed to come from the nine heavens, and there was a dark and supreme aura around it.

A throne of dead bones.

No throne for anyone.

this throne...

Yes……

The camera turns very naturally.

A pair of muddy feet fell into the eyes of everyone.

Move your feet.

The figure is holding the scroll in both hands, and is concentrating and earnestly studying the content on it.

The camera moves up slowly.

Everyone saw the iconic huge scroll on the back of the figure.

as well as…

That classic red team uniform, the three shiny letters on the shoulders——

SKT!

Below, are the same stars as the EDG team uniform.

The difference is that EDG only has one uniform, but this figure has three stars!
Finally, the camera freezes on the profile of the figure, not moving.

Jian Ji's pupils suddenly shrank.

The figure seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly turned his head to look at Jian Ji.

The iconic black-rimmed glasses, 90.00% similar to Li Ge's Ruiz, after a pause of less than a second.

Suddenly broke out!

"RISE! RISE!!"

A head of black hair suddenly exploded.

The final battle is here!
Jian Ji is like a brave warrior who is not afraid of death, and also like a member of the hundreds of millions of godslayers who are humble and vulnerable.

The demon king has no expression on his face, and brazenly accepts the challenge!
Magic and sword light are howling, darkness and light are colliding.

The raging wind seemed to tear the world apart.

The sword girl became stronger as she fought, and the demon king's expressionless face finally showed a look of shock.

A familiar white sword light appeared.

A flash of light is eternal!
The originally explosive battlefield suddenly returned to light and quietness.

everything is over.

The Demon King disappeared.

There is only one sword girl who has walked to the final throne.

The sword girl who was covered in scars, her rapier had already been broken, she dragged her tired body, as if she wanted to sit on the throne.

But right now.

As if feeling something, she suddenly stopped, raised her eyebrows, and looked down the mountain behind her——

where.

TMS's Bilson, C9's women's wearer, G2's P, Xiaogou, Anzhangmen, FW's Snake...

Countless powerful and star players who have advanced to the global finals this year.

All gathered under the mountain top.

His eyes were filled with unprecedented madness and heat, admiration and yearning.

Look towards the throne on the top of the mountain!
Jian Ji met the eyes of these people.

bang...

The BGM falls.

The screen disappears.

2018 Global Finals theme song MV.

It is also the most classic and legendary scene in the history of the S game.

Here it comes!

Demon King Rose Seat, who is qualified to sit on it? !

It all depends on the present!

[I am super! ! 】

[I'm super...! 】

[Fuck!This MV...]

[I'm damn!I exploded! 】

【Burn! ! ! 】

【Ah! !Buddha! !So handsome! !So handsome that he has no friends! 】

[The Demon King Rose Seat! !Lord Buddha beat the others for me! !Take the S8 championship! ! 】

Everyone has been looking forward to this year's theme song MV for a long time.

There are also a lot of people watching the MV.

At this moment, after watching this MV, there is only indescribable shock and excitement left in everyone's heart!
The blood is burning all over the body, and the adrenaline is soaring!
So handsome!
It's really handsome.

The MV production quality is better than expected.

It can be seen clearly.

This is a journey with Xu Cheng (Jian Ji) as the protagonist.

In just a few minutes, the inspirational history of God Conferred by a little person who was once unknown, step by step, was vividly interpreted!

With one sword, you can sway the heroes.

Kill LZ, destroy SSG, destroy SKT...

After climbing over that mountain, Jian Ji finally climbed over the highest mountain.

He met the ultimate god and defeated the god.

He became the only man in history who succeeded in killing a god.

The warrior slayed the dragon, but is he now another dragon?
The answer is not clear to everyone.

But one thing is for sure.

In the end, Jian Ji still failed to be on the throne.

The supreme throne that all professional players in the world can only look up to and yearn for, Sword Fairy is still one step behind.

Behind him, countless pursuers have gathered.

They want to surpass Jian Ji, defeat Jian Ji, and sit on the throne by themselves.

Can you do it?

S8 race, wait and see!
I have to say that the MV production of Riot this year is indeed a bit of a dimensionality reduction blow.

The big move that has been held back for so long is not only because of the well-made MV animation, but also perfectly integrates the personal images of the players and their respective signature heroes, and at the same time expands the perspective of the players.

At the same time, the quality of this year's theme song "RISE" is also first-class.

It can be predicted that this song and this MV will become the hottest fire before the start of the S8 race!

And there is no need for any rendering and bedding at all.

As soon as this MV comes out.

The tense, exciting and contentious duel of S8 has already come to life on paper.

Countless viewers have raised unprecedented expectations for this year's S8!
[Come on and start!I want to see Buddha defending the double crown! 】

[It's a pity that Brother Li failed to advance this year. Otherwise, if he defeated Brother Li twice in a row, no one can deny that Buddha surpassed Brother Li, right? 】

[Ah, this...although, it's better not to recruit gangsters. 】

[I don't care about anything else, I just want to know how to be Xu Cheng's woman! 】

[Woooooo, I'm crying, I also want to be Buddha's woman!Buddha is so handsome! 】

[As far as this MV is concerned, the treatment of the protagonist from the beginning to the end, all-round and no dead ends, the Buddha is the son of the fist, is it a stone hammer? 】

[My son?I'm afraid this is a dear father! 】

[No kidding, no matter in concept or quality, this year's theme song and MV surpass any previous ones!That is to say, the theme song of S7 can be compared, and the MV is completely abused. 】

【chiffon! 】

The theme song and MV of S8 kill everything!
This is no exaggeration at all.

An hour after the MV was released, it was directly on Weibo, Zhihu, and Bilibili's hot search/hot list, and it became the hottest topic on the homepage of Hupu.

In terms of quality and popularity, S8 has indeed smashed the previous S games!
The heat has exploded.

There is no need for the official to continue to promote, everyone knows the news that the S8 race is about to start.

And the appearance of this blockbuster theme song and MV has indeed directly raised the expectations of the global audience to the fullest.

Now everyone is waiting.

Waiting for the opening day of S8!

[Why is it not the next day! !How long will it take! 】

[I can't wait, let's get started, okay? 】

Under this public opinion.

Hundreds of millions are looking forward to it.

October 10th finally arrived.

this day.

The main match of the 2018 Global Finals will officially start!
Inside the official hotel in Busan.

Everyone in EDG got up and had breakfast with the other two LPL teams. Feeling a little apprehensive and excited, they boarded the official bus.

Go straight to Busan BEXCO venue.

Busan BEXCO.

Also known as the Busan Convention and Exhibition Center.

This is the largest international venue in Korea.

It has hosted the top sports leagues such as the World Cup many times.

It has been selected as one of the top ten convention and exhibition centers in the world.

Undoubtedly, this will be the grand stage that attracts the most attention and attention from global audiences in the next half month.

It is also an absolute field for countless top players and the world's giants to gallop and fight.

Since this year's S game is held in South Korea.

And in South Korea.

The development of the e-sports industry can be said to be more formal and larger than that in China.

So wherever they went, what Xu Cheng and the others saw were all promotional slogans about the S8 Global Finals.

It's the kind of support that even the landmarks are cheering for the Korean team and S8!
This scene, to be exaggerated, was even comparable to the scale of the S7 finals day!

It also made Xu Cheng and others feel a little heavy in their hearts while being excited.

"As expected of being in Korea, I love the support, love it." Xiangguo said with some sourness.

"Fortunately, South Korea itself has a small population, and the development of e-sports is indeed much earlier. It is normal to have support of this scale."

Meiko can take it easy.

Others had a similar opinion to him.

But anyway.

The online and offline publicity of S8 in South Korea really put a lot of pressure on everyone.

This kind of experience of participating in S competitions in other countries is actually a bit of a mess.

For example, Ah P’s famous phrase “I want to turn Wuhan tonight into a library”.

At that time, Ah P was sprayed by the Chinese audience for a long time because of this sentence.

It is a matter of course that people in South Korea support the South Korean team so much.

Thinking about S7 and the overwhelming battles in the LPL division, it is not to blame for South Korea.

As for the team and the players, after losing the home court advantage, there is a certain sense of gap in their hearts.

South Korea is not bad, after all, it is Asia, and the time difference is only one hour.

If you switch to Europe and the United States, these people in the LPL competition area will have to suffer from "jet lag" again.

"Come on, as long as we reach the finals in South Korea, I believe...by then many spectators will fly over to support us."

Xu Cheng recalled the experience of this year——

"Isn't it more challenging and meaningful to turn South Korea's home stadium into our home stadium?"
