You are number one in the world, do you have to be obsessed with the whole job?

Chapter 212 Eighteen years of that year, the boy who slayed the dragon eventually became a dragon

Make South Korea our home field.

What kind of picture would that be?
Well known.

Since the birth of the S game, except for the first North American self-entertainment, the South Korean team has won almost all the championship trophies of the S game.

Not only did they win the championship at their own home court, but they also mercilessly eliminated them at other foreign teams' home courts countless times to win the championship.

Step on the bones of countless home teams and stand on top of the world!
It can be said.

The reason why the South Korean team is so "hated" and frightening, and even has a large-scale "Korean fear" phenomenon, is entirely because of their unscrupulous, tyrannical and invincible massacres in the past few years.

Make South Korea's home field their own home field.

There is only one way, and that is to kill, eliminate, or even bloody the Korean team!
In the past, only the Korean team abused other home teams. How could teams from other regions abuse the Korean team?
Xu Cheng's words seemed to open the door to a new world for everyone.

Let everyone in the bus be silent.

"Is... is it possible?" Xiangguo swallowed.

"of course."

Xu Cheng pointed to Meiko.

Tian Ye understood and said with a smile, "Haven't we already defeated them once in S7?"

"And... the South Korean team has not won an international championship this year..."

Hearing the sound, everyone was startled.

Just wanted to say something.

Xu Cheng's gaze froze suddenly.

Others were also attracted by the movement outside the window——

The bus has arrived at the competition venue.

But see out of the car window at this moment.

It was densely packed and crowded, and at a glance, at least half of them were fans holding signs for the LPL competition!

South Korea home, S8 opening ceremony.

The domestic audience actually accounted for half of the audience! !

Who said there is no support from the crowd at home?
Who dares to say that the off-court support of the LPL teams is not enough?

What is everything in front of me? !

No rhetoric is needed at all.

In an instant, an indescribable flame rose in the hearts of everyone in the car.

It was a flame, and it was an unprecedented desire to win!

They want to win, they want to show off their power and defeat all enemies in front of the whole world and at home in South Korea!
"Today is your first show in the opening game. The pressure is high...Come on."

RNG and IG said to everyone in EDG before parting.

"The game went well." EDG and others didn't say much, but just wished.

"The game went well." Everyone nodded.

Admission is separate.

……

at the same time.

When several teams in the LPL division entered the arena.

outside world.

Korean online.

At this moment, waves of public opinion have already been set off.

Several well-known live broadcast platforms on the Korean Internet bombarded the news of the opening ceremony of S8 on the scrolling screen without interruption.

In the forum, the hot search for the opening of S8 has already topped the list.

Other news is as fragile as a blank sheet of paper in front of this news.

But it is different from domestic.

In South Korea, the S game is not just broadcast live on the Internet.

Several major TV stations in South Korea will also broadcast it simultaneously!

This is the biggest difference between South Korea and China.

Here, the e-sports industry is very developed and has received great attention.

Korean netizens are discussing and looking forward to the grand occasion of this year's S8, which looks like a replica of last year's S7.

Not only Hanwang.

Domestic, North America, Europe...

The world's major competition areas and countries are all ready at this moment. All kinds of news and enthusiasm before the game have all gathered together at the moment when the opening of S8 is approaching, reaching an extreme peak.

at last.

Under the eyes of millions.

[-]:[-] p.m. Korean time, [-]:[-] p.m. in China.

With the countdown to the opening comes the number 0.

With a bang.

The iconic fist of the fist slammed down.

The screen shattered.

Whoa!
The camera came directly to the center of the Busan Convention and Exhibition Center.

The famous host in the South Korean competition area, the first host "Roaring Emperor", came up from the backstage in a blue suit with a flushed face and full of energy.

"Busan~~~~~~~!!!"

"You~~~ good!!!"

As soon as he came up, Roaring Emperor showed his unique skills to the global audience.

With that high-pitched and loud tenor voice, his vital capacity was released as if he didn't need money.

The local audience at the scene, as well as the global audience who are familiar with Roaring Emperor, all responded enthusiastically and frantically at this moment!

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Oh oh oh~~!"

"Hello!! Welcome to Busan!"

Roaring Emperor was very satisfied with the reaction of the audience off the court, and he adjusted his state and emotions while walking.

Bowing to the audience in the audience: "Thank you...Thank you audience, thank you!"

Then, he said with the most passionate and passionate voice: "Are you ready for the last carnival of 2018, the only legendary event in LOL, the 2018 Global Finals?!"

"—"

"Ready!!"

"Ahhhhh!!"

"KT!! KT!!"

The audience is crazy!

Roaring Emperor took a deep breath, and the passionate and passionate BGM echoed.

He said in an emotional and special complex tone:
"Every year, the top players from all over the world, the legendary players, those who are favored by heaven, will bring their national divisions, everyone's hopes and dreams, to this highest stage!"

"Their dream is to lift that supreme and irreplaceable—the Summoner Trophy!"

"But, in the end, there will always be only one champion! God, there will always be only one!"

"Who, this year, can become a new legend, a new king, win the world championship trophy that the whole world dreams of, and become the world champion..."

"The finalists are ready, and their goal is the finals - Incheon Munhak Stadium! Let us look forward to it together!"

After a pause, the Roaring Emperor turned his back to all the audience.

He raised his palm forward.

A prelude sounded that made everyone's scalp numb——

2018 Global Finals theme song, RISE!

ring!

The promotional video of this year's S competition appeared on the big screen.

Mainly, it is the famous scene of the previous S game champions holding the cup.

Videos are short and fast.

Then we came to S7, the scene where the five EDG members held the cup of the Bird's Nest in high spirits.

"Now, let us invite the No. [-] seed in the LPL division, EDG team, to return the trophy!!!"

Please EDG, return the trophy!
This sentence comes out.

Countless smoke suddenly burst out from behind the field.

In the mist, a familiar figure wearing a black team uniform, holding a delicate and gorgeous trophy in both hands, walked onto the stage.

As the figure walked in step by step, Xu Cheng's face also appeared in front of the global audience.

For an instant.

The whole scene in Busan is boiling!

"Ahhhhh!!"

"Murder!! Murder!!"

"Ouba!! Oppa is so handsome!"

"Xu Cheng Oppa!! Why are you not Korean!! You are Korean!!"

"Ouba, I love you!! Oppa continues Caryy today!"

"...!"

The audience's reaction exceeded everyone's expectations.

Including Xu Cheng and Korean officials!

Xu Cheng's popularity.

Too high!
He actually has such a high popularity in South Korea!
This is something that everyone is very shocked.

Well known.

South Korea has always been a small nation, they have always looked down on anyone, and it is even more difficult to admit anyone's true strength.

嗏

This law seemed to be broken in front of Xu Cheng.

As soon as Xu Cheng appeared on the stage, his face just showed up, and he was in South Korea, which caused a great response!
In the eyes of many people, this is almost impossible to achieve, and it is even more shocking than Xu Chengtianxiu's operation!
Feat!

on the stage.

Xu Cheng held the trophy in his hand.

This is the ultimate glory that all professional players in the world have longed for and dreamed of all their lives.

It was held in his hand like this.

At least for now, this trophy still belongs to him temporarily.

He was stunned, but he was used to big scenes, so he calmly walked to the center of the stage, the podium where the Summoner Trophy was going to be placed.

"Now, Murder, EDG player, please return the summoner trophy!!"

The Roaring Emperor's tone was passionate, and he shouted loudly again.

The passion in the tone, coupled with the S8 theme song on the stage, the whole scene has already exploded!

Xu Cheng raised the summoner trophy in his hand.

Show it to a global audience.

Whoa!
"Ahhhhh!!"

"Return! Return!"

"Buddha!!"

"Return! Return!!!"

Although there are still many "traitors", more Korean audiences roared at the top of their lungs.

Let Xu Cheng return this summoner trophy!

Yes.

It's time to return it!

The championship trophy of the S game never belongs to a certain person or a certain team alone.

It just stays in the strongest team in a certain year for a year.

Throughout the past eight years, time flies like water.

One that can leave its mark on this Summoner's Trophy.

Only the name of the annual world championship team and player ID engraved on the base of the trophy...

At this moment, facing the shouts of countless Korean audiences off the field.

Facing the pressure from the crowd.

Xu Cheng's mood was very complicated.

He didn't understand before.

SKT has already won the Triple Crown, why are they still obsessed with the championship of the S game?
Faker has won three championships, why every time he returns the trophy, he is so reluctant to give up...

Now, he finally understands...

This feeling, if you have not reached this point and become a party, you will never be able to understand.

It's a kind of...

The glory of yourself, the feeling that is about to leave you.

And this departure, for 90.00% of the nine point nine people, is a farewell!

Never have it again!
Even though Faker has won three championships, he...has only kept the Summoner Trophy for three years!

EDG is less and only one year!
It's not hot yet!
But... My glory, is it just a farewell to me forever?

Xu Cheng's eyes were sad, but his arms did not drop for a long time.

The boy who slays the dragon will eventually become a dragon...

"Please! EDG player, Murder, return the summoner trophy!!!"

The Roaring Emperor roared for the third time, shout! !

This tone already carried a bit of childish anger and madness!

after all…

Before last year, this summoner's trophy had long been regarded by the Koreans as their highest honor, an honor that would never disappear in their lifetime.

Just like my own child.

And your own child was suddenly abducted by others for a year, would you be happy? !
The Roaring Emperor was angry, and the Korean audience was also angry!

Return the trophy!

Xu Cheng didn't hesitate, and decisively placed the summoner's trophy on the podium.

"Ahhh!!"

"We must win! We must win!"

"KT! KT!"

"EDG!! Come on!! Bring it back!"

"Put this trophy here for you to keep for a while, and we can get it back later!"

The scene in Busan was chaotic and boiling!

Roaring Emperor also heaved a sigh of relief, once Xu Cheng's trophy was put down, it was still placed in South Korea.

Then don't even think about taking it away.

"Thanks Murder! Return the trophy!!"

"Thank you EDG, thank you Murder, thank you!"

The Roaring Emperor yelled, already intending to drive people away.

Xu Cheng didn't want to wait too long.

He turned his head and glanced under the spotlight again. It was like a treasure in the world, the only exquisite trophy.

Want to really own this summoner trophy.

Just keep winning!

I will get you back again.

It won't be long.

Soon, soon!
On the other side, the solemn and sacred BGM on the field finally disappeared.

The Roaring Emperor turned to walk up to the summoner's trophy with a look of emotion on his face.

Said: "Over the past few years, the strongest players and strongest teams in the history of the league have all engraved their names on this legendary world championship trophy."

"And this year... the strongest giants from [-] different divisions around the world. Who will become the next new king, the next legend..."

"Maybe it will be a completely unfamiliar face, or maybe... a familiar face that everyone is familiar with..."

"But no matter who it is, let us be together, so stay tuned!"

"Ooooooooo!!!"

The field is boiling.

The camera moved away from Roaring Emperor.

Came to the center of the stage, under the spotlight, on the gleaming Zhongan Sustained Release Trophy.

Zoom in for a close-up.

The whole body is silvery white, with azure blue crystals inlaid on it, and the whole is like a silver dragon.

The position of the faucet is two emerald crystals.

Faintly spit out light.

At this moment, even Yao's eyes hurt a little.

The dragon is roaring and roaring, the glory of the summoner's trophy is dazzling, rare in the world!

"Okay, the EDG team has returned the trophy, now, let us welcome the representatives of the sixteen representative teams that have advanced to the 2018 Global Finals this year—"

The Roaring Emperor took a deep breath and shouted loudly: "First of all, let us welcome the champion of the last S tournament, the FMVP winner of the top laner position, the world's number one Carry, the world's number one top laner, who just returned the trophy—Murder !!!”

In the uproar.

Xu Cheng, who had just stepped down, came on stage again.

Standing calmly and calmly at the center of the stage.

Waved towards the audience.

The scene that was just a sensation before, suddenly exploded!
"Ahhhhh!!"

"Murder! Murder! Murder!!"

"Buddha! Buddha!!"

"Buddha is amazing!! Buddha is invincible!!"

"Ah!! Oppa!!"

The audience in South Korea once again proved how terrifying Xu Cheng's popularity is, the world's recognized number one top laner.

In their minds, it may be second only to Faker in their own country.

Roaring Emperor himself also has a good impression of Xu Cheng.

Just now, it was just the blessing of national feelings. Now that EDG has returned the trophy, the tone is naturally much softer.

Said: "Yes... the man standing in the center of the stage right now is the man everyone knows..."

"Every operation of his will cause screams and carnivals all over the world. Every time he appears, countless audiences can't help themselves."

"He is the representative of the operation, and he is extremely sharp... Let us call out his ID together—"

"Murder!!"

Whoa!
The scene exploded, out of control.

after that.

Representative members of the other fifteen top giants teams in the world also appeared in turn.

But apart from the three local teams in South Korea, there was no one else who could have the support of Xu Cheng.

A grand debut introduction is over.

Then the big screen and the scene began the opening ceremony of the 2018 Global Finals.

After half an hour.

When everything is ready.

The director cuts.

Came directly to the commentary seat at the front.

……

"Welcome to the opening match of the first day of the 2018 Global Finals group stage. This is Busan, South Korea. Hello everyone, I am Zeyuan."

"I'm Hao Kai."

"I'm Rita..."

LPL commentary seats.

Three well-known commentators appeared in front of the camera.

The enthusiastic opening ceremony ended, and the mood of the few people is obviously a little bit uncontrollable now, very excited and excited.

"Finally... the day has come!"

Standing on a high commentary seat, overlooking the dense crowd below.

Guan Zeyuan let out a heartfelt breath.

More than a year of waiting.

Since the moment S7 ended last year, audiences and commentators all over the world have been waiting.

Waiting for this moment to come!

The opening of S8!
If you use the whole year's competition as a metaphor.

So for the whole year, all the competitions are appetizers, leftovers, paving the way for the grand feast at the end of the year!

Only the final S game is the real world game that everyone is most concerned about and most looking forward to!

Last year, his favorite Samsung was eliminated in the quarterfinals.

After a whole year of hard work and struggle, this year's Samsung finally broke into the S game again.

their fate...

Can it be overwritten?

"Yeah, after more than a year, more than a year of hard work, countless sweat and hard work, I finally returned to this stage."

Rita next to him said: "I believe... For the [-] teams that have advanced this year, this moment is undoubtedly a happy and satisfying moment."

"It's also tense and full of fighting spirit!"

Hao Kai said: "Every year's S game is a peak feast about vision and glory. Whether you can leave your own chapter and figure in this feast, all of this will be more than one year in the future. It will be revealed within a month!"

Guan Zeyuan nodded and returned to the topic.

"Yes, then we all know that today's first opener will be a duel between the No. [-] seed EDG in our division and the No. [-] seed in the LCK local division, AFS."

"Both teams have been given high hopes by their respective divisions and countries. Today should be a battle between dragons and tigers!"

"That's right... As the second seed of South Korea this year, AFS's own strength and status are beyond doubt."

Hao Kai said: "The only difficulty now is whether they can hold on to the road."

"Uh……"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was a little stunned.

Can you hold on to the road?

This sounds straightforward, but there is nothing wrong with it.

"Well... to be blunt, but this is indeed a problem that AFS needs to face."

"Because the opponent of AFS, EDG, the top laner in the team is Buddha!"

Guan Zeyuan said with emotion:

"Buddha...Last year's S tournament championship FMVP, similarly, also won the glory for a whole year in a row. The distance from the personal grand slam, the unprecedented grand slam... is only the last S tournament!"

"Yes, Buddha's strength is certain. According to EDG's latest game video, Murder should be in good condition."

When Rita talked about Xu Cheng on the stage, she seemed very serious, and it really seemed like that was the case.

"He's in good form... Then Kiin, the top laner of AFS, actually played against Buddha in the Asian Games. But the record is not ideal."

"I don't know if there will be some other variables in the rematch between the two sides after these months of adjustment and training..."

Everyone chatted briefly.

The director notice in the ear.

At the same time, the camera cut off the stage was directly shown at the entrances on both sides of the stage.

After a while.

The EDG team, headed by Xu Cheng, walked onto the stage in high spirits, dressed in black team uniforms.

On the other hand, the same is true of everyone in AFS.

Players from both sides have entered!
The hearts of Guan Zeyuan and the others suddenly trembled, and their heartbeats began to speed up as if uncontrollably.

Ended his last field control.

The directing camera switches again.

Came directly to the forefront ahead——

Commentary seat.

The opening match of the 2018 Global Finals group stage.

Officially begin!
