<h4>Chapter 377: Chapter 376-opening battle</h4>


    The match continued.


    After the introduction of the teams and the DJ’s performance, the screen switched to thementator’s seat, and thementator introduced the first game to the audience.


    The grouping and schedule for the S1 finals had already been decided. The opening match would be the domestic 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 came from different divisions.


    On the field, the yers on both sides were already in position and adjusting their machines.


    On the big screen, the twomentators began to introduce the two teams in thispetition.


    Strictly speaking, there should be threementators in League of Legends, one for the field, one for the team battle, and one for the game analysis, each taking up a different role.


    A crowd-controlmentator was usually in charge of the topic to prevent thementator from going off track. The team battlementary required a clear line of thought, a sharp tongue, and to be able to clearly exin the key details of the team battle; The game analysis andmentary were usually done by retired professional yers. They had to have a more urate 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 twomentators this time, and the lineup was quite random. It was basically a professional esportsmentator and a professional yer from another team, or a high-scoring random streamer.


    Of course, these people were also carefully selected. They had a deeper understanding of the game and were more eloquent, so they were qualified to be thementators.


    “Wee to the S1 World Championship of League of Legends! We’re currently at Shanghai’s Grand za. We’ve just seen that all sixteen teams participating in this world Tournament have already appeared!”


    “Hello everyone, I’m thementator, memories.”


    “Hello everyone, I’m ke Zhen, the mid yer of Team E.”


    ......


    The twomentators introduced themselves. Memories could be considered one of the earliest e-sports streamers in the country. She was good at controlling the situation, while ke Zhen was an active midner in the e team.


    Since the e team did not make it to the World Championship, ke Zhen was invited to be a guestmentator. He was very skilled and had arge number of fans in China.


    Moreover, due to ke Zhen’sst name and his tendency to be gay, his fans loved to call him “ke ji.”


    Many of the audience members were already cheering,”ah, Corgi!” Oh my God, I thought it would be a pity that he couldn’te to the finals, but he’s actually a guestmentator, simply great!”


    Memories: “okay, we saw that the audience was very enthusiastic just now. When all the teams came on stage, they gave a very warm apuse and cheers. So, before the game officially begins, I would like to remind everyone that this time, apart from the League of Legends app and the official website, you can also watch it through the major live broadcasting tforms. Thank you for the strong support of the major tforms.”


    “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 yers on both sides are already debugging their equipment. The exciting match is about to begin!”


    The debugging time was very short. After the twomentators 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 popr Champions at the moment,” ke Zhen replied.


    As the corresponding hero was locked on the big screen, the holographic projection also shed the hero’s holographic image, causing the audience to cheer.


    Not only were Ezreal, Shen, and sona popr in thepetition, but they were also popr in-game heroes, so many viewers felt a sense of familiarity with them.


    Soon, the lineup of both sides was locked in, and it was time for the final adjustment.


    “So, for the final lineup,” reminisced Gu Fei,”for team f, there’s Lady de, 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 y a snowball fight in the early and mid-game, and you can also y a team battle in the mid-game.” In short, I think that squad F is more towards the early game. They need to gain an advantage in thene. On the other hand, squad F is more stable. Their early, mid, andte game 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 meant that there were 50 heroes in the game.


    The heroes in the three versions of the update were: Top units: Shen, Prince, mundo, jungler, nightmare, widow, Scorpion, mid units: brightmoon, vampire,cus, marksman, corki, Tristana, bigmouth, support, gem, Zyra, Morgana.


    Of course, there were many Champions that could y two roles. For example, corki was more suitable for midner, while Zyra and Morgana could y support or midner.


    Overall, League of Legends had fifty Champions, which was simr to S2 in Chen Mo’s previous life.


    The poprity of League of Legends was constantly rising, and releasing all the heroes at once would leave the yers at a loss. Chen Mo nned to release some special heroes like Zed, Yasuo, and so on in the same order as in his previous life, so that the yers could slowly get used to them.


    These 50 Champions were still a little too few, but some of the popr 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 game.


    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 de and Jax for the advantage in thene, 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.
