The match continued.
After the introduction of the teams and the DJ’s performance, the screen switched to the comntator’s seat, and the comntator introduced the first ga to the audience.
The grouping and schedule for the S1 finals had already been decided. The opening match would be the dostic team NRG against the European team flog.
As the teams were still in the period of changing and getting used to each other, there was no obvious difference in strength in the division. Therefore, there was no distinction between the first and second seeds. They were all drawn randomly to ensure that the four teams in each group ca from different divisions.
On the field, the players on both sides were already in position and adjusting their machines.
On the big screen, the two comntators began to introduce the two teams in this competition.
Strictly speaking, there should be three comntators in League of Legends, one for the field, one for the team battle, and one for the ga analysis, each taking up a different role.
A crowd-control comntator was usually in charge of the topic to prevent the comntator from going off track. The team battle comntary required a clear line of thought, a sharp tongue, and to be able to clearly explain the key details of the team battle; The ga analysis and comntary were usually done by retired professional players. They had to have a more accurate interpretation of the strategic intentions of both sides.
However, this was the first season of the Grand Finals, and Chen Mo didn’t have the resources to find so many professionals. As such, he only had two comntators this ti, and the lineup was quite random. It was basically a professional esports comntator and a professional player from another team, or a high-scoring random strear.
Of course, these people were also carefully selected. They had a deeper understanding of the ga and were more eloquent, so they were qualified to be the comntators.
“Welco to the S1 World Championship of League of Legends! We’re currently at Shanghai’s Grand Plaza. We’ve just seen that all sixteen teams participating in this world Tournant have already appeared!”
“Hello everyone, I’m the comntator, mories.”
“Hello everyone, I’m ke Zhen, the mid player of Team E.”
......
The two comntators introduced themselves. mories could be considered one of the earliest e-sports strears in the country. She was good at controlling the situation, while ke Zhen was an active mid-laner in the e team.
Since the e team did not make it to the World Championship, ke Zhen was invited to be a guest comntator. He was very skilled and had a large number of fans in China.
Moreover, due to ke Zhen’s last na and his tendency to be gay, his fans loved to call him “ke ji.”
Many of the audience mbers were already cheering,”ah, Corgi!” Oh my God, I thought it would be a pity that he couldn’t co to the finals, but he’s actually a guest comntator, simply great!”
mories: “okay, we saw that the audience was very enthusiastic just now. When all the teams ca on stage, they gave a very warm applause and cheers. So, before the ga officially begins, I would like to remind everyone that this ti, apart from the League of Legends app and the official website, you can also watch it through the major live broadcasting platforms. Thank you for the strong support of the major platforms.”
“Alright, we’ve just watched the 16 teams enter the arena. Everyone should have the teams that they support in their hearts. Then, for today’s opening battle, it will be our NRG against the European team DG. We can see that the players on both sides are already debugging their equipnt. The exciting match is about to begin!”
The debugging ti was very short. After the two comntators chatted for a while, the big screen showed the B.P. Interface.
“Alright, let’s move on to the B/P phase. Team f has banned widow, stone man, and Prince, while team NRG has banned Tauren, Carter, and Scorpion.”
“Let’s let’s let’s see which champion they’ve chosen. Oh, it’s locked in, Ezreal!”
“The NRG team is also very fast. They’ve locked in on Shen and sona. It seems like they’re prepared.”
“Yeah, there’s really nothing much to think about for these Champions. They’re all popular Champions at the mont,” ke Zhen replied.
As the corresponding hero was locked on the big screen, the holographic projection also flashed the hero’s holographic image, causing the audience to cheer.
Not only were Ezreal, Shen, and sona popular in the competition, but they were also popular in-ga heroes, so many viewers felt a sense of familiarity with them.
Soon, the lineup of both sides was locked in, and it was ti for the final adjustnt.
“So, for the final lineup,” reminisced Gu Fei,”for team f, there’s Lady Blade, Gragas, brightmoon, Ezreal, and Blitzcrank. For team NRG, there’s Shen, Lee Sin, Icebird, Vayne, and sona.”
“Then, ke Zhen, please analyze the lineup of both teams for the audience. Which lineup do you think is more reasonable?”
Ke Zhen said,”actually, both teams ‘lineups are more reasonable. There are many ways to win in League of Legends. You can play a snowball fight in the early and mid-ga, and you can also play a team battle in the mid-ga.” In short, I think that squad F is more towards the early ga. They need to gain an advantage in the lane. On the other hand, squad F is more stable. Their early, mid, and late ga are good. I still think squad F is better. ”
It had been six months since the April Fool’s Day version of League of Legends was released on April 1st. There had been three updates and 15 new heroes in total, which ant that there were 50 heroes in the ga.
The heroes in the three versions of the update were: Top units: Shen, Prince, mundo, jungler, nightmare, widow, Scorpion, mid units: brightmoon, vampire, lacus, marksman, corki, Tristana, bigmouth, support, gem, Zyra, Morgana.
Of course, there were many Champions that could play two roles. For example, corki was more suitable for mid-laner, while Zyra and Morgana could play support or mid-laner.
Overall, League of Legends had fifty Champions, which was similar to S2 in Chen Mo’s previous life.
The popularity of League of Legends was constantly rising, and releasing all the heroes at once would leave the players at a loss. Chen Mo planned to release so special heroes like Zed, Yasuo, and so on in the sa order as in his previous life, so that the players could slowly get used to them.
These 50 Champions were still a little too few, but so of the popular Champions had already been released, so for these professional teams, the number of Champions to choose from was not too little. It would not affect the tactics and viewing rate of the ga.
Moreover, many professional teams were still trying to figure out their tactics. Overall, these teams only had two tactics. They could either choose strong champions like Lady Blade and Jax for the advantage in the lane, or they could choose Team Champions like deathsong, Icebird, and Rockman for team battles.
Chen Mo felt that these tactics were quite primitive, but it made him feel like he was back in S2, and it was quite an interesting feeling.
