Last year's champion will return the championship trophy at the opening ceremony of this year's World Championship. This is a consistent tradition.

The LCK division has monopolized the world championship since the S3 season, and the teams that appear on the stage at this time every year are all teams from the LCK.

SKT, in particular, returned the world championship trophy twice.

It is said that Faker is very popular around the world, and everyone takes it as an honor to kill him alone. This is not something that fans are bragging about.

But a reality.

Until S8, any mid laner who could single-kill Faker in a game was an act worthy of boasting to himself and his fans.

Why did Xiaohu go from being the orphanage director of the GT team to RNG and immediately become a domestic mid laner that LPL fans have high hopes for?

First, in the S6 Spring Split, he and RNG led by mlxg defeated EDG and won the Spring Split, and he used assassins such as Enchantress many times to carry the battle.

Secondly, his Enchantress single-killed Faker's Czar on MSI.

You know...

The last time a domestic mid laner could single-kill Faker in a game can be traced back to the group stage of S3. At that time, the dark force's mid laner, Cool, used Syndra to single-handedly kill Faker's Fox.

Even in this solo kill, there was a small episode, that is, there was a pause in the network fluctuations at the time, and this pause happened to be at the moment of the kill.

After that…

The performance of domestic mid laners against faker is very average.

In the S3 finals, Grandpa Lu’s Kassadin was extremely fat in the early stage. This is the S3 version of Kassadin!

Q brings silence, R has twice the displacement distance of the current version, and the bonus is as high as 0.8. It is a must-choice if you are not banned. At that time, it was impossible to get this hero in the rankings.

Grandpa Lu got such an OP hero and was so talented that he couldn't kill faker alone.

In the follow-up All-Star Game, OMG met SKT again. Frozen Sunset, which had performed reasonably well in China, was still shit when facing Faker in front of SKT, which was already on the decline.

Later, no domestic mid laner faced faker until Xiaohu from S6 single-handedly killed faker at MSI.

The span of this has been a full 3 years!

After that, Xiye's mid laner Lucian killed faker.

The two of them also became famous for a while, and fans have high hopes for them.

The weakness of domestic players in the middle and upper lanes is obvious to all. Even in S12, they have held three S championships, but they have not been able to break this point.

It wasn't until EDG won the championship in S11, with Holy Spear as the main top laner, that the first 100% purely domestic champion top laner truly appeared, while the mid laner was still far away.

Wait until all SKT members appear.

The host's high-pitched voice brought Li Hansheng back to the scene from his memories.

"Next, a warm welcome to the other teams in Group A!"

"The No. 1 seed T who won the LPL 2016 Summer Championship!"

The TOP pure red team logo was displayed on the big screen, which was in the style of a European medieval knight's helmet.

Under the illumination of the live lights, Li Hansheng stood at the front of the queue and led his teammates to the middle of the stage.

The reaction of the audience cannot be said to be mediocre, but it cannot be said to be enthusiastic. At least compared to when SKT came on the stage before, it was completely different.

Fortunately, there are many Chinese and international students in San Francisco, and many people came to the scene to cheer for the domestic team.

Even if there weren't enough people, they still shook the cheering sticks in their hands very hard and kept shouting!

Li Hansheng thought this was quite normal.

There is only one team in the world that can enjoy home court treatment without distinction, ‘SKT’.

Oh, ‘TSM’ can barely count as half.

At least the North American audience is giving them face by not allowing them to enjoy the treatment of the library.

Firstly, you are not a team in the North American region, and secondly, you are not a famous team in the world. If you ask others to give you home court treatment, isn't that a hooligan?

Status is earned by oneself.

The positions on the stage have been practiced in advance in previous rehearsals, and everyone came to their predetermined positions.

Next up is C9.

As a club sponsored by the U.S. Air Force, the popularity of C9's various e-sports events is actually very good, and the North American audience suddenly became enthusiastic!

When the rival G2, the number one seed in the LCS.EU division, came on stage, the North American audience still cheered and applauded. Although it was not as good as C9, it was still better than the library treatment. They did not deliberately treat them differently.

Just like the LPL audience didn't deliberately refrain from cheering or applauding because their team was beaten by the LCK in the World Championship every year.

All I can say is...

Perhaps the audience in big countries is basically very large in terms of structure.

Unlike some tiny places, the layout of the people is as small as their size and land area.

Both are of East Asian ethnicity.

Why don't LPL viewers feel discriminated against because of actions like Fingertip Universe?

The layout is different.

The next teams will appear in a revolving door!

When it's Group D's turn.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly reached another level!

"Let us do our best to scream and cheer for the next team to appear!" The host waved his hand, "Team solomid!

"

Next second!

The light immediately focused on the five-person TSM team headed by Big Brother and Bjergsen.

The cheers at the San Francisco Municipal Auditorium were deafening. This was a treatment far beyond what any previous team had enjoyed, even C9 and CLG, both in the North American division, had not enjoyed it!

The huge sound waves gathered together, as if the roof of the entire municipal auditorium was lifted off.

"TSM! TSM! TSM!

"

The audience shouted in unison, this is the charm of North American shoemaker ‘TSM’!

Even Li Hansheng was infected by the atmosphere at the scene, as if he was dancing in a nightclub, dancing and shouting 'TSM! TSM!

’

The imp next to me was also getting excited along with Li Hansheng, enjoying the current atmosphere.

result……

The photographer was very stupid and captured this scene.

It was obvious that the other teams were standing there solemnly, but the TOP team looked like they were dancing in a nightclub.

"Hahahaha!" The doll in the commentator's seat also laughed out loud, "For those who didn't know, I thought it was the audience running to the stage. It seems that the TOP members are in good spirits. As newcomers, they are not nervous at all.

I don’t have stage fright either, which is a good thing.”

"Indeed." Miller also praised, "European and American audiences like this. They don't like the restraint and humility in our traditional culture. Instead, they pursue individuality and publicity. I have a hunch! Noob will be in this situation this time.

Completely conquered the hearts of European and American audiences at the World Championships!"

"His flamboyant character may seem like an alternative in our LPL, but it definitely suits the appetite of European and American audiences!"

[Why is Brother Han Sheng so understanding? He usually goes to nightclubs, right?]

【Shengbao is so good at twisting!】

[MD, it was a wonderful opening ceremony of the World Championship, but Han Sheng brother took it away and turned it into a disco scene, right? 】

[Hahaha, look, look, look, the audience at the scene is completely confused by TOP. 】

Don't even say it...

When the TOP people were having fun on the stage, the scene was shown on the big screen.

The audience at the scene was indeed stunned for a moment.

Immediately I thought, why the hell are the contestants so excited, how can we, as the audience, be compared?

Suddenly became more excited.

The sound waves come one after another without stopping at all.

The contestants on the stage looked sideways, and the European and American contestants seemed to have their DNA engraved in their bones being moved.

After all, they are called.

Just playing one rank game a week counts as training, but the party must be held every day!

They, who already have crazy personalities, also danced around,

Good guy!
