The game continues.

After the team introduction and DJ performance at the opening ceremony, the screen switches to the commentary booth, where the narrator introduces the first game to the audience.

The grouping and schedule of the S1 Finals have been decided for a long time, and the opening match is the domestic NRG team against the European FG team (FlashGaming).

Because the teams are still in the period of change and running-in, and there is no particularly obvious difference in strength in the competition area, there is no distinction between the first seed and the second seed, and all of them are randomly drawn to ensure that the four teams in each group are from different regions.

On the playing field, the players on both sides were already in place, and they were both debugging their machines.

On the big screen, two commentators began to introduce the two teams of this competition.

Strictly speaking, there should be three people in the game commentary of "League of Legends", one control commentary, one team battle commentary and one battle analysis commentary, each of which takes on different parts.

The on-site commentary is generally to control the topic and prevent the commentary from deviating; The team battle commentary requires clear thinking, sharp talk, and the ability to explain the key details that occur in the team battle clearly; The analysis and commentary of the battle situation is generally served by retired professional players, and it is necessary to have a more accurate interpretation of the strategic intentions of both sides.

But after all, it is the first finals, and Chen Mo has nowhere to find so many professionals, so the number of commentators this time has been reduced to 2, and the collocation is relatively casual, basically a professional e-sports commentator plus a professional player or high-scoring passerby anchor from other teams.

Of course, these people are also carefully selected, have a deeper understanding of the game, and are more neat-tongued and capable of the task of commentary.

"Welcome to the League of Legends S1 World Championship! The place we are in is the Grand Plaza of the Magic City, and we have just seen that all the sixteen teams participating in this World Championship have appeared! ”

"Hello everyone, I'm the narrator memories."

"Hello everyone, I'm Ke Zhen, a midlaner from the EC team."

The two commentators introduce themselves. Memories can be regarded as the earliest batch of e-sports anchors in China, with good field control ability, and Ke Zhen is an active mid-laner player of EC.

EC failed to make it to the World Finals this time, so Ke Zhen was invited as a guest to participate in the commentary. His personal skills are very good, and he also has a large number of fans in China.

Moreover, because of Ke Zhen's surname and his tendency to be a little suspicious of GAYGAY, fans love to call him "Corgi".

A lot of the audience was already cheering: "Ah, Corgi! Oh my God, I thought it was a pity that he couldn't come to the finals, but he actually came to make a cameo commentator, which is great! ”

Recalled: "Okay, just now we also saw that the audience at the scene was very enthusiastic, and all the teams gave very enthusiastic applause and cheers when they appeared on the stage, so before the official start of the game, I would like to remind everyone that this time in addition to the two official channels of the "League of Legends" client and the official website, you can also watch it through the major live broadcast platforms, thank you for the strong support of the major platforms for this competition." ”

"Okay, just now after watching the sixteen teams appear, everyone should have their own teams in their hearts, so today's opening match, is our NRG against the FG team from Europe, we see that the players on both sides are already debugging the equipment, and the exciting game will start immediately!"

The debugging time is very short, and after the two commentators chatter for a while, the BP interface has appeared on the big screen.

Recalled: "Okay, then entering the B/P link, FG's side is BAN who has lost the widow, stone man, and prince, while NRG team is BAN who has lost the bull's head, Carter, and scorpion. ”

"It's up to FG to pick first, let's see which hero they chose, oh, locked, Ezreal!"

"NRG's side also chose quickly, and locked Shen and Qinnu with his backhand, it seems that he has been prepared for a long time."

Ke Zhen: "Well, these heroes really don't have anything to think about, they are all popular heroes at the moment. ”

As the corresponding hero was locked on the big screen, the hologram of the hero also flashed on the holographic projection device, causing a burst of cheers from the audience.

EZ, Shin and Kotome are not only popular in the game, but they are also popular heroes in the game, so many viewers feel very familiar.

Soon, the lineups of both sides were locked in, and it was time for final adjustments.

Recalled: "Then the final lineup selected, on the FG side, is Knife Girl, Wine Barrel, Bright Moon, EZ and Robot, while the lineup on NRG's side is Shen, Blind Monk, Ice Bird, Wayne and Qin Girl. ”

"Then, Ke Zhenlai will analyze the lineups of the two sides for the audience, which lineup do you think is more reasonable?"

Ke Zhen: "Actually, the lineups of both sides are more reasonable, because there are many ways to win the game "League of Legends", you can play snowball equipment suppression in the early and middle stages, or you can play team battles in the middle and late stages. In general, I think FG's side is a lineup that is more early, and they need to play an advantage online, while NRG's lineup is more stable, and the combat effectiveness in the front, middle and late stages is good, and I am still more optimistic about NRG. ”

Six months have passed since the April Fool's Day version of League of Legends on April 1st, and three versions have been updated, with a total of 15 new heroes, which brings the number of heroes in the game to 50.

The three versions of this update, the heroes are: Upper Unit, Shen, Prince, Mondo, Jungler, Nightmare, Widow, Scorpion, Medium Unit, Bright Moon, Vampire, Lux, Marksman, Airplane, Cannon, Big Mouth, Support Position, Jewel, Zyra, Morgana.

Of course, so far, there are many heroes who can be positioned to play two positions, such as planes are more suitable for mid-units, while Zyra and Morgana can both play support and mid-laner.

Overall, the current number of heroes in "League of Legends" has reached 50, which is basically similar to the hero pool of S2 in Chen Mo's previous life.

The popularity of the game "League of Legends" is constantly rising, and releasing all the heroes at once will make players feel at a loss, like some special heroes, such as robbery, Yasuo, etc., Chen Mo plans to come out roughly in the order of his previous life, so that players can slowly master it.

These 50 heroes are still a bit too few, but some popular heroes have already come out, so for these professional teams, there are not a few heroes to choose from, and it will not affect the tactics and the enjoyment of the game.

Moreover, at present, the routines of many professional teams are also constantly exploring, on the whole, there are only two tactics for these teams, either playing online advantages and choosing strong heroes such as Knife Sister and Jax, or playing a team battle lineup and choosing team-fighting heroes such as Death Song, Ice Bird, and Stone Man.

These tactics are still relatively primitive in Chen Mo's opinion, but this makes him feel as if he has returned to S2, which is quite interesting.
