S4's Samsung White should be arguably the most classic team in League of Legends history.

It doesn't have more than 10 years of heritage like SVT1, and it's not like FD that is a star ace player in every way.

Throughout this year's OGN Spring and Summer Tournaments, Samsung White played submissively, and the civil war was beaten by their brother unit, Samsung Blue, who knew them best.

Although FDG, which is also one of the two heroes of the LPL dynasty, has a more bumpy journey than them, at least Samsung White was only beaten by Samsung Blue, and other times it was still the king of OGN.

But it is undeniable that the overall evaluation of this team from the outside world is not strong. The favorite for the Korean team in this S tournament is not last year's runner-up, but SVT1, which participated in the World Championship as the third seed this year, is not Samsung White, but Samsung Blue.

However, people never imagined the potential of this team, and when the civil war Phantom God Guodian came to the World Championship as the No. 1 seed in LPL, he was shaved bald by Samsung Bai, and lost two battles and two losses, which almost made Guodian not qualify.

6 wins in 6 games in the group stage, all the way through, even their old rival Samsung Blue fell at their feet, and easily won the S4 championship, you can know how strong the potential of this team is.

Therefore, Yun Luoyang did not despise it, but attached great importance to it.

At 11:30 a.m., the opening ceremony of the 2014 League of Legends World Championship officially kicked off.

As a game that has a terrifying influence around the world, Riot spent a lot of money to create the S4 theme song "warriors".

Many people's deepest impression of the theme song is actually the silver mark of S2, because the silver mark is indeed burning. But this song is not bad, and it is also sung by Menglong, which is very infectious.

The difference between this year and last year is that the players have started to shoot promotional videos, including team promotional videos and individual promotional videos.

As LOL's most legendary player so far, Yun Luoyang's promotional video is naturally the top priority.

Nearly 10,000 people in the audience and tens of millions of spectators in front of computers and mobile phones watched this year's opening ceremony, and they saw the stage was extremely dazzling, with flashing lights, first an ancient European traditional dance, and then Reynolds, the lead singer of the Dream Dragon Band, came down from the stage and sang a song "Warriors".

On the big screen on the stage, all the spectators in the stadium can see the figures of countless teams competing in the World Championship since S1.

There is FNT who won the S1 championship like an Internet café competition.

There is an assassination star who shed tears on the spot after S2 lost the final.

There were cheers and screams of five people hugging each other after S3FD won the championship.

The teenager with the name Faker on his red coat looked at the trophy with a wistful look.

Countless fragments of the memories of the World Championship are interspersed, and the careers of dozens of teams remain on the big screen forever. Some of them have already disbanded their teams, such as the legendary M5. Some have changed their team names and changed their team members, such as Assassination Star.

Others are still standing on this stage, such as the North American Phantom God TMS, where the figure of the senior brother shows such unyielding and arrogant.

Even if you lose repeatedly, you have to lose again and again!

Fragments of memory flashed back and forth, eventually coming together like a torrent, and the moment the last line of the lyrics was sung, the music really burned to its peak.

The drums beat to the sky.

The audience cheered at this moment.

Because they saw Yun Luoyang's figure appear on the big screen, sitting on the top of the throne like a god, overlooking all living beings.

He sat casually and lazily, his gaze calm.

The posture of others in the documentary is to look up at the trophy that represents the championship with a hint of expectation, symbolizing the desire for the championship.

Only him, looking at the trophy in front of him with a level stance.

It's like a championship in the past.

People are thinking that maybe in his eyes, that championship trophy is really as simple as digging for something.

There is not a hint of difficulty.

"Rush, Yunshen! Win the championship again this year and get your own Triple Crown legend! ”

On the commentary stage, Aunt Cang danced and shouted excitedly.

Wow Wow smiled: "Welcome to the 2014 League of Legends World Championship, I'm the commentator Wow Wow." ”

"I'm Shorthair."

"I'm Sister Cang."

Compared with last year's hard work, this year's commentary is much more comfortable.

The commentary room is a rest room on the second floor of the stadium, where three people sit on a sofa with pillows such as Timosaurus tortoise, a TV set with a live game hanging on the wall, and a floor-to-ceiling window behind them to see the game.

The three of them each hugged a pillow and sat comfortably on the sofa, and there were drinks provided by the sponsors Red Bull and Devil's Claw on the coffee table in front of them.

In fact, now Riot has a lot of money, and in 14 years, it has earned nearly 10 billion for penguins by selling skins, and it doesn't need sponsors at all.

But the influence of the S game is rising year by year, and the number of League of Legends players in the world is already tens of millions, although it has not reached the peak of S5 this year. But the attention of this World Championship is already very high and influential, and sponsors naturally flock to it.

In a strict sense, e-sports is still not comparable to traditional sports.

The ratings of the Champions League in 17 reached 650 million viewers, the Super Bowl is a carnival for all Americans, and the peak of League of Legends is S7 with more than 100 million viewers, which shows that e-sports is still much worse than big guys like basketball and football.

However, it can't be compared to basketball, football and even the nation's favorite Super Bowl football, but compared to other sports, esports has become a big hit.

After all, S3 has more than 40 million viewers, and S4 has become more popular, not to mention doubling, 50 million viewers will never be less.

In fact, this is also true.

At the moment of the opening ceremony, the number of online viewers around the world began to climb, and the data of all aspects was summarized, and soon exceeded 20 million, selling towards the 30 million mark.

It has to be said that Riot made a good move this time.

Esports is a carnival for young people, but many young people also watch games selectively.

Of course, you have to watch the clubs that involve your own country, and you definitely don't want to watch those that don't involve them.

However, the fact that the venue is in Europe this time will undoubtedly give European audiences the choice to watch even if they don't have their home team.

Secondly, the first match is FD vs. Samsung White, and viewers in South Korea and China will definitely tune in for the first time.

As a result, most of the audience will stay in front of the computer or mobile phone, and it is natural that the data will rise all the way.

"The tournament has finally begun, and the first game is the highlight, our LPL's No. 1 seed FD!"

Wow Wow smiled: "I have to say that this year is a leap forward year for e-sports, not only our LPL continues to expand, but even the Asian Games will include e-sports, here, I would like to congratulate the Chinese national e-sports team for winning 3 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze." ”

"Congratulations!"

Aunt Cang and Shorthair clapped their palms with joy.

"Secondly, this year's home stadium of our League of Legends World Championship was changed to Europe, as you can see, the atmosphere is still very lively, tens of thousands of spectators have come here, although the European team's game will not be until tomorrow, but today is still full, crowded."

"Yes, you can see from here that the influence of League of Legends is really increasing day by day. Here, I also wish the League of Legends to flourish, and I wish our Chinese team to win the world championship again and achieve our supremacy of three consecutive championships. ”

Wow Wow and Aunt Cang sang and harmonized, and started the pre-game again.

The host on the stage was also speaking.

Since the appearance of the team will not be until S5, some garbage time before the game will have to be spent by the commentary and the host's small talk, and the same is true for S2-S3, which will not be changed until S5.

The commentary was on the stage for more than 10 minutes, and the teams below were finally about to start the game.

Yun Luoyang blushed and brought a roll of paper to the competition table.

Dressed thickly, the audience was really startled to see his pale face.

Because one second everyone saw him sitting on the throne like a god on the big screen overlooking all beings, and the next second they saw him sick like a quail, wilting his head, and his whole mental state seemed to be very bad.

The two states are in stark contrast, both of which make people think that they are hallucinating, and they can't tell which one is the real Yun Luoyang.

There were even viewers of Shenlong TV who made jokes.

"This Yunshen must be fake, Samsung Group is worthy of being the top chaebol in South Korea, kidnapped my big Yunshen, got an imposter here, and returned my energetic Yunshen!"

"If you are kidnapped by Samsung, blink an eye, and our Yunshen special attack team will definitely risk death to rescue you."

"Protect my world's best cloud god !!"

Yun Luoyang almost wrapped in a quilt and came up to play the game.

The changes in Paris in the past few days have really made Yun Luoyang suffer.

Generally speaking, a cold is not a serious illness. Take some medicine and get some sleep.

However, after days of tiring travel and more than 10 hours of training every day, he has no chance to rest, and the current situation is naturally not very good.

Sitting on a chair, Yun Luoyang began to seriously check the electronic equipment.

"Okay, the game between the two sides has finally begun, the first FD is on the blue side, and it has the power to ban people first."

"The first is the ban on time, the time system of the Koreans has proven itself in the Asian Games, and it seems that even FD is afraid of their secret weapon."

"The first forbidden thing for Samsung Bai is robbery, which is aimed at my Great Cloud God."

"Let's take a look at FD's second banned person, it's Jace. The Korean Jace still has a hand, from S2 to S3, their single Jace level is first-class on all roads, and FD must ban a hand. ”

"The second forbidden thing for Samsung White is Cassadine, which has been epicly strengthened in this World Edition, and should now belong to the non-ban required heroes."

"FD's third hand is to ban the wind girl, and the middle and upper auxiliaries each ban one, let's see what Samsung White is forbidden?"

"I estimate that there is a high probability that it is a forbidden bull head..... Yasuo?? ”

All three commentators were stunned.

Samsung Bai actually banned three mid-laner heroes, but there was no ban on bull heads?

Before they could react and say something, FD's top one-legged brother didn't hesitate to lock the hero down.

S4 The world's No. 1 bug-level hero, the bull-headed chief Alista plays!
