LOL: Serve the country with loyalty, I have full attributes to resist Korea

Chapter 338: Chasing the stars until dawn! The new dragon slayer king ascends the throne! Or will he forge a legendary golden body?

November 2022, 11, California, USA.

Chase Center in San Francisco, the home arena of the Golden State Warriors, is also the most expensive indoor arena in the United States, costing a whopping $13 billion to build. It just witnessed the birth of another championship trophy half a year ago.

As the last battlefield of the day, it is suitable in all aspects.

At this moment, the venue is packed, and there are many familiar faces in the front row.

In fact, the sports world in Europe and the United States has long been inseparable from the field of e-sports. Almost 70% of the teams in the North American region are affiliated with NBA teams, including the GG team of the Warriors at home today, which is also the North American team that successfully entered the MSI this year.

The popularity of this final has reached its peak, and the global enthusiasm for watching the game has reached a new level.

The reason is that today's result will surely create a new legend.

People always like to create gods, but deep down in their hearts, they always long to see gods fall from the altar one day.

If WE wins today, a new legend will be born, and it will be a historical legend that surpasses all the past.

And if DRX wins today, it will be an epic comeback miracle that breaks the undefeated legend.

No matter who is the final winner, it will obviously be full of highlights and no one will miss this event.

Even though the lights at the scene dimmed, the noise disappeared tacitly.

On the big screen, numbers started jumping down from the golden "10".

The exciting symphony sounded, and when the screen came to "1", Kassadin jumped out from the void under the magnificent and misty purple light, and countless Icathian rainstorms sprayed out from her back, as if she was presenting grand fireworks for the opening ceremony!

However, just when the scene was about to get climaxing.

The sound of the screen shattering was heard, and as the camera cut forward, a slightly unfamiliar black face walked out of the translucent holographic projection screen.

Cheng Ming and his brothers stood under the semi-hidden stage of the curtain and could see the scene on the stage from close range.

The timing of this game was extremely unlucky that year. Perhaps because there was no Chinese team in the final, the game time was simply changed from 5 a.m. in the morning of the semi-finals to 6 a.m.

As a result, when Cheng Ming woke up, the first game had already ended, so he naturally missed the opening ceremony.

However, this time, obviously due to the huge difference in attention, the North American officials specially changed the original plan and changed the game time to 9: in the morning local time to cater to the Chinese audience.

However, just as everyone was looking towards the end of the screen with great anticipation, their eyes suddenly went dark!
"Fuck!!"

The slightly unfamiliar black figure before was actually the new hero [Glory of Nazumang - Quesanti] that was officially launched on all servers of League of Legends just two days ago. It was reasonable for him to appear at the opening ceremony.

But as the picture progresses.

At the end of the big black screen—it turned out to be a real-life version of Quesanti!
And it’s a magical girl version!
[I am awesome! Lian Po in women's clothing! ]

【Congratulations! Your farm tools are now online.】

【What is Dora the Adventurer? 】

[Li Na's cross is like this. As an old fan, to be honest, this is actually a very restrained operation by him~]

[Actually, I think it’s pretty good. There’s a kind of beauty in the triangular trade, but I suddenly feel an itch behind me.]

Although the visual impact for a moment was indeed a bit intense.

But the good news is that as everyone knows, as the main business of the company is music, the theme songs every year are considered excellent.

Although the shape of Sister-in-law Li Nacha is abstract, the atmosphere is immediately recreated when the ear-catching accompaniment sounds, instantly bringing people into the main melody of the venue.

The theme song "STAR WALKIN" is centered on the theme of "chasing the stars".

“Racing to the moonlight and I'm speeding”
"I'm headed to the stars ready to go far"
Same as previous years.

Every year's theme song always seems to be able to find a connection with the final two teams, intentionally or unintentionally, and this year is no exception.

"They said I wouldn't make it out alive"
"That's why I gotta kill 'em every time"
"Gotta watch 'em bleed too" (Who will be the last one standing)
Deft had a nine-year professional career. As a member of "Samsung Blue" who reached the peak as soon as he debuted, he was ultimately defeated by Samsung White, a team from the same background, in the semi-finals that year.

From then on, he never had even one chance to get close to the trophy and was always questioned.

However, nine years have passed.

In the year he announced that it would be the last year of his professional career, he finally made it to the finals.

And the sentence "You said I was destined to fail" seemed to indicate that before the game, most people were more optimistic about WE, and no one was optimistic about them.

But judging from a few other key points, it seems more like it is talking about Cheng Ming.

“Why worship legends”

"When you know that you can join 'em"
"I'm star walkin"
Star chasing has always been one of the themes of WE after its reconstruction. This coincidence alone seems to be tailor-made for WE.

And “Why worship a legend when you can become one someday too.”

This coincides with Cheng Ming's experience along the way, and also seems to be an interpretation of the result of this final stage.

As the theme song reached its climax, the large translucent screen in the center of the stage rose again.

The logos of the sixteen teams mixed into a ball in the air. There was a loud explosion, and a blue-gold light took over the scene.

A giant holographic projection appeared in the center of the stage.

The Ruined King - Viego!

In fact, the Desert Emperor was originally going to be used in this segment, but because the "symbol object" of this hero failed to enter the finals, a temporary adjustment was made after the semi-finals.

Both symbols represent the "throne", but represent two different objects.

And because the dark tones of the Ruined King's original skin are not very suitable for this stage, the person in charge simply gave up pretending and directly used the blue, red and gold color scheme of the champion skin, which instead highlighted a different kind of grand and high-end feeling.

It is very easy to replace the holographic special effects. The diffuse yellow sand is directly replaced by the thick fog of the vast scorched earth.

Viego held high the Ruined King's Sword, and wherever the sword pointed seemed to be the place determined by the king's will.

At the climax of the theme song, Viego's figure turned into an exploding shadow and soared into the air!

The next moment, the sky seemed to collapse completely, and countless pieces of rubble began to fall down, carrying a dazzling golden cup!
Until it crashed down in the center of the stage—the Summoner’s Trophy!

At this moment, virtual and reality finally blend together.

"This is the true value of the traffic god. Even the opening ceremony was the only male lead!"

"Riot, if you use my K-god skin, please remember to pay me for it~"

"What do you mean by a big star? Do you have such big stars in other regions? It's cool to show it to you guys!"

The sonorous and powerful rhythm and drum beats resounded throughout the venue. Even though most of it was eliminated by the huge space, it was still enough to arouse the passion in the hearts of tens of thousands of audiences.

"I'm star walkin"!

With the last sound of the world championship theme song, the atmosphere on the scene reached its peak again!

The pilot camera slowly zooms out.

On both sides of the main stage, there is a high platform.

Amid the sound of the passionate symphony, the two platforms began to slowly move towards the center from the edges.

Behind both sides, one red and one blue.

The flags of the two teams fluttered in the wind, looking solemn and majestic under the early autumn sunset in San Francisco.

Under the combined effect of the battle flag and the backlight, Cheng Ming's face was half-shadowed by the light. He smiled slightly, and the composition instantly looked both good and evil.
"These two teams standing in front of the Summoner's Cup are the two teams that are destined to soar to the top. They are the last two teams of 2022!"

The bearded host's voice arrived before he even showed up, and his loud voice reached everyone's ears.

"First up is Dragon X, the fourth seed from the LCK region, the Spring Split champion, and the Summer Split fourth place!"

"Top laner Kingen, jungler Pyosik, mid laner Zeka, bottom laner Deft and support Beryl, as well as substitute shooter Taeyoon and head coach Kim!"

The host waved his hand and introduced the DRX members one by one.

The Korean fans at the scene tried their best to cheer for the last hope of the whole village, but most of the passers-by just followed a few cheers out of respect when Deft appeared.

Obviously, most people are saving their energy.

"Next," the bearded host took a deep breath, "It's the No. 1 seed from the LPL region, the champion of the last World Finals, Team WE!"

"Top lane! Bin!"

When Bin came on stage alone, his popularity instantly surpassed the total of all the DRX players combined, and he almost received cheers from the entire audience.

As a two-time champion top laner with all kinds of honors, he is also the only one who has walked side by side with Cheng Ming throughout the entire game.

He has been dubbed the "Esports Pippen", "the top laner idiot", and "God's gold medal hitter".

If we talk about the most powerful top-jungle combination in the league's history, the combination of "K＆B" will definitely top the list.

His tough nature is still there. He is a teammate that he will always trust without any hesitation, and a reliable right-hand man. It is normal for him to enjoy more love from Krd fans who love him as well.

"Next up is the jungler!"

The host paused again, and his entire expression changed on the screen!

Serious, solemn, sharp, or in other words - sacred!
He took a deep breath, his heart and lungs working in unison, and shouted out the ID with all his might:

"K!! R!! D!!"

The host hunched over, and his long roar made his face turn red and hot, but he also succeeded in pushing the atmosphere of the scene to a climax in an instant.

When many people heard this ID, they felt as if they were electrified. The noisy cheers at the Chase Center in San Francisco were like a pot of boiling water, and the sound waves swept through the clouds!

Crazy foreign fans even jumped up and cheered!

"Krd!!!"

In the studio at the North American site, the famous K-playing musician Ende couldn't help but let out a long whistle:
"Go KGOD!"

"The third world champion! Half-step dynasty! All of them will arrive today!"

Cheng Ming, who was the focus of the camera, waved to the audience calmly, which prompted a second wave of response from the audience.

In addition to watching the game live, a large number of spectators from all over the world came simply for this man.

"Next is mid laner Angel, bottom laner Jackeylove and support ON, as well as substitute player Mole and head coach Sask!"

The other WE members came out one after another, and the audience also gave them extremely loud cheers.

After all, this year's WE, everyone has proven their abilities on the stage, everyone has stood out, and everyone has been respected.

After the WE members were introduced, the players from both teams looked at each other solemnly across the stage.

A short pre-match interview was played on the big screen.

"I have dreamed of standing on this finals stage countless times, and now, it has finally come true."

Deft looked at the Summoner's Trophy with emotion.

"In 2012, at Mapo Middle School, my classmates were saying that there was a person in the class across the street who had a very high rank. That was the first time I heard the name Lee Sang Hyuk."

“We started from the same point, but our paths are different.”

They both reached the peak of their careers as soon as they debuted, and even during their three years in middle school, they were less than 50 meters apart from each other every day.

But a person has been in the industry for four years and won three championships.

A person debuted for nine years, but it was not until the last year of his career that he finally stepped successfully onto the finals stage for the first time in his life.

So in Deft's heart, Faker, the living example who has been by his side all the way, has always been the best goal he has been pursuing.

However, when Deft talked about this in the interview, he suddenly changed the subject.

"But legends eventually grow old. Faker didn't fight to the end this year. I regret not being able to have the last battle with him in my career. But fortunately, I may have met a new legend."

"Even though the ID Krd is just there, like an insurmountable mountain, I think having him as the last battle of my career can be an ending no matter what the result is."

Apart from anything else, Deft's professional attitude is really good.

This pre-match interview, which was full of sincerity, was instantly greeted with applause from the audience.

But soon, the applause was replaced by screams caused by the figures that appeared on the screen.

"Some people make their dreams come true, while others talk more than they act."

"Some people will turn the tide, while others will end up in disgrace."

“It’s a good story to pursue a dream for ten years, but dreams don’t necessarily come true, and dreams don’t necessarily need to come true.”

"Bless Deft, but in today's arena, perhaps the process is the only real and precious thing."

Cheng Ming said this expressionlessly, then slowly raised his hand and pointed to his left chest.

"After today, there will be a second star printed here."

“No one can stop us.”

The images of the two people intersected at this moment.

Two voices in different languages: "Let's begin, the last dance" echoed in the overlapping voices.

[It’s touching, but it’s a pity that Mapo Middle School is about to be wiped out~]

[It feels like all WE members are full of murderous intent today, especially K God, who is very different today. Is he going to go crazy and kill his teammates today? ]

[It's okay, just don't kill the barrage. Do dd before killing. I'll unplug the network cable.]

[Deptt wants to realize his dream, so who in WE doesn’t want to realize their dream? We in LPL don’t even dare to dream of winning three consecutive championships. No one’s dream is more noble than anyone else’s.]

[To be honest, why does the last sentence give me two different feelings? Deft's last dance is like a statement to himself, a final oath to his entire career, and the last stubbornness of a veteran who has experienced ups and downs throughout his life]

[But K God is more like talking to Deft. There is a new devil who has already soared to the sky and looked down like an absolute king, turning around to respect and appreciate the last dance of this veteran.]

The atmospheric pre-match interviews once again brought the on-site viewing atmosphere to a new level.

"Is it the enthronement of the new dragon slayer king, or the unprecedented three consecutive S-League championships that will forge a legendary golden body?"

"Let's wait and see!"

"The 2022 League of Legends World Championship is now open!"

Accompanied by a metallic clang.

The BP screen has been presented!
