Chapter 801 Do you think I’m awesome?
Say this year's All-Stars is pure entertainment.
In addition to the competition system, this can also be seen from the participating members.
The current LCK players are Khan, Xiaohuasheng, Faker, Bang, and Mata.
There is no need to say much about Faker's popularity.
Although Bang performed like a war criminal in last year's World Finals, his statistics this year were quite good and he received enough votes.
Khan got a bargain because the performance of AFs top laner Kiin disappointed the LCK audience.
In comparison.
The list of retired players is even more impressive.
One is the lone wolf Shy who killed four PDDs with one shot in ancient times.
One is Madlife, who is known as the God of Support. Six years ago, he shocked the world with various no-vision predictive hooks and raised the status of support by his own efforts.
certainly.
To this day.
The strength of the lone wolf Shy cannot be compared with that of the rising star The shy.
The support god Madlife is no longer as powerful as he used to be.
I went on stage just to meet the fans' expectations.
The relatively wealthy wildcard regions such as Oceania and Türkiye each sent out three people.
They are so poor that they have to rely on Riot Games to sponsor their team expenses. Their abbreviation is CB (Cai B). There are four players from Brazil in LOL, but they all look like they are just here to get a free meal.
December 7th.
8pm.
After the countdown, the first thing that appeared was the opening remarks recorded by the Korean Roaring Emperor standing on the rooftop.
Combined with the fact that all three LCK seeded teams were defeated and eliminated, and didn't even make it to the semi-finals, it makes people feel that the organizers made such an arrangement with deep meaning...
"Dear summoners, long time no see!"
"It's December now... have you guys come up with anything?"
"Yes, you guessed it right, the All-Star event is going to be held this year!"
Following the Roaring Emperor's long shout.
The ALL STAR 2018 LOGO rushed towards the big screen with extremely impactful special effects.
The screen changes.
It played a 360-degree bird's-eye view of Las Vegas at night, and then switched to the main arena where statues of various heroes and Baron Nash were placed.
Silhouettes of players who have achieved success in previous All-Star events emerged one by one.
The various confrontation modes to be carried out in this session are also displayed with fruit machines, robot flying claws, and summoner icons as transitions.
"Hello, audience friends!"
"I am Wang Duoduo!"
"I am Remember!"
Wang Duoduo and Jide appeared in front of the camera.
After introducing myself.
Wang Duoduo spoke first: "I am now explaining the 2018 All-Stars, which is also the last event at the end of the year with players from all over the world participating. Moreover, this year's All-Stars not only selects active players to participate, but also some retired veterans... The moment I saw these IDs, I felt like I was back to my youth. "
"I really miss it so much." Remember to echo: "Today's first match is the confrontation between the European and American regions, which is the classic battle between EU and NA. In the past, EU was better than NA most of the time, but in this year's world finals, NA was better than EU!"
On hard power.
Europe is indeed stronger than North America.
Even though Russia was assigned to the CIS, the legacy of the undefeated M5 did not remain in the EU region, and Europe has generally had the upper hand in the confrontations over the years.
But.
This year, Europe's last hope G2 was eliminated in the quarterfinals by RNG.
The light of North America, C9, defeated AFs and entered the semi-finals.
Even though C9 was then beaten into a robot by IG, North American audiences still praised it highly and showed off on social media such as Twitter and Facebook.
European audiences naturally held their breath, wanting to see their own players make a comeback.
"After the European and American confrontation, there will be charity 2v2 tournament, extreme blitz, two-player co-op, unlimited firepower, and the final 1v1 elimination match."
Wang Duoduo continued to introduce the schedule: "There are 32 players participating in the 1v1 elimination match. Eight places for the top 16 will be decided today, and the remaining eight places will be decided tomorrow."
While talking.
Contestants from Europe and North America have already appeared on stage under the introduction of the live host.
The European lineup is active players Caps, jungler Broxah, AD Kyrie Irving, support Hilo, and the top laner is Wickd, the first player in S1 to reach special platinum and known as the world's number one Irelia.
Although ChaoX, the No. 1 player in North America during the same period, was also quite strong and was the developer of the third phase semi-tank flow, he was not remembered by many players because his playing style was too stable.
It is a very exciting thing to see the former world's number one Irelia use the new version of Irelia.
On the North American side, the top laner is Damu, the jungler is the North American solo king Voyboy, the AD is Doublelift, the support is Hai, and the mid laner...the TSM boss Captain Gorilla was brought up.
On strength.
Captain Gorillas may not be ranked among retired North American players.
but.
Captain Gorilla is a bit of a joke.
As the pioneer of the 'sixth man of the team' in League of Legends.
In the last year that Captain Gorilla played the game, the most common phrase the commentator said was: Captain Gorilla once again stood up and carried TSM's opponents.
As expected.
Entering the official confrontation, Captain Gorilla took out the mid-lane Gragas and demonstrated a classic eating operation.
Even though Caps, the King of Hats, respected his predecessors and held back during laning and didn't go for a face-to-face kill, the captain of the gorilla team still conceded two kills in a row by removing wards in front of the jungler.
It's time for a team fight.
Captain Gorillas seemed to have awakened.
Teleport around, use E flash R to reach Kaisa used by Oucheng.
Super fast speed.
The action is super cool.
Unfortunately, the closest one on the NA team was about 1,500 yards away.
The gorilla captain, who looked like a shaved version of Li Kui, thought he had started a good fight and was shouting loudly. Upon closer inspection, he saw four more big men around him...
The picture is just too tragic.
“MD!”
"This operation makes me hungry!"
Ah Shui burst into laughter: "That Irelia is okay, but what the hell is this Gragas? It's outrageous!"
"It's just the entertainment bureau, don't take it seriously." Xing Dao said seriously, but he couldn't suppress the upward curve of his mouth.
The game was nearly thirty minutes in.
The captain of the gorilla team stepped on the wards in the high ground to detect the attack. His E flash, RQ and A all missed, and his W didn't hit A either. He successfully carried the EU division and added a strong and colorful stroke to the experience of the sixth man in the canyon...
"Meat, egg, green onion and chicken!"
"It has to be Captain Ape."
“It’s so classic, hahahahaha.”
“I showed this game to an anorexic and the anorexic ate the entire street.”
"Too much!"
“…”
The atmosphere on the barrage was even more cheerful.
"Captain Gorilla's performance... can only be said to be well-deserved."
Wang Duoduo found an appropriate word: "Then what will be going on next is the charity 2v2 tournament. All the proceeds from this stage will be used for charity and to help the poor. Our LPL region will have the legendary top laner General and Ning, who is also from the 'e-sports Huangpu' YM team."
“The map used in this mode is the Howling Abyss. The way to win is to be the first to get two kills. In order to prevent the game from being dragged on indefinitely, this mode has added a shrinking circle mechanism.”
"Now the players from both teams have entered the arena. Our LPL region will face our opponents from the Brazilian region."
Before selecting people.
Both sides can ban three heroes each.
The Brazilian player banned Akali, Irelia, and Aatrox without any doubt, just like in the official competition.
Xing Dao and Ning performed much more casually, banning the classic sea, land and air, namely Gangplank, Garen and Galio.
"Brazilian players are still very serious."
"As a wild card region, their performance deserves encouragement."
I remember watching both sides handle it: "The Brazilian player picked Xerath + Varus, wanting to avoid direct confrontation and focus on POKE, while General and Ning chose... Alistar and Poppy?!"
