Chapter 52: LPL Debut!

  The next day, 4:00 p.m.

  The big stage of the Expo, LCD vs Wangzu's first match is in pre-match preparation.

  "Hello everyone, welcome to the 2014 League of Legends Summer Professional League. I'm Chang Mao. First of all, let me explain that our usual commentator, WaWa, is unable to be here today due to illness, so we've had to make a temporary substitution with our team's commentator. Please forgive us for this change."

  All LPL viewers know that the commentators of TJ Sports are basically divided into two groups. One group is led by WaWa, along with Joker and Su Xiaoyan. The other group is led by Longzhu, assisted by Miller and Xiao Mi.

  In general, two teams of commentators take turns on duty, alternating every weekend.

  But heaven has unpredictable winds and clouds, this doll didn't expect that due to being too excited yesterday, after continuously commentating on four matches, she suddenly felt her whole body burning hot, severe throat pain. After going to the hospital for a check-up, it was discovered that her tonsils were inflamed, and it's even an acute case! Until now, she's still in the hospital receiving saline treatment!

  Poor doll, had just formulated a great plan to achieve personal revival but hadn't even had time to implement it before entering the hospital, really "died before achieving success", and was so sad that she fainted in the toilet!

  "Yes, here also wish the doll a speedy recovery, don't give up treatment......" Big chest Xiao Mi also followed suit and scolded her.

  “…………”

  "Alright, let's get back on track. Today, we're going to bring you two matches between LCD and Kingzone!" Miller, true to his reputation as the most straightforward commentator in the LPL, dove right into the topic: "As everyone knows, after a season of restructuring, both teams have essentially become brand new teams. Especially Kingzone - aside from their core player UZI, all four other positions have been replaced with new players, including two Korean imports that we're all familiar with, Khan and Siu. I believe everyone is just as excited as I am to see how they'll perform in China!"

  "Yes, and on the LCD side, they also replaced their mid laner and ADC player separately, and they are quite satisfied with their performance in the summer season!" Long Mao still has a strong Taiwanese accent.

  Miller said: "Yes, what we can see from the screen now is the top laner of Wangzu, Co, also known as Cola. As a relatively well-known player in the national server, this is still his first time on the LPL stage. From the screen, we can see that he has been using alligators and dragon girls more recently!"

  As the domestic league with the largest specifications, LPL will solemnly introduce the players of both sides before each game, giving each player a special shot and introduction page to show respect!

  After introducing the top laner of Kingzone, the camera quickly moved to a jungler next to him wearing a white jersey with long hair and a rugged face!

  As soon as this contestant appeared on the big screen, a burst of cheers erupted from the audience!

  "The live audience is also very impressive, I believe no need for further introduction, everyone knows, yes, this is the new jungler from Korea to LPL's Kingzone - Khan!" Miller introduced enthusiastically. As a commentator who often commentates OGN matches, his biggest difference with other commentators is that he doesn't care about background, only looks at performance.

  No matter which country you come from, no matter which team you come from, as long as you can perform well in the game, you will get Miller's generous praise. In this regard, Miller and Zhou Ke, the founder of this wave, are like heaven and earth.

  "By the way, I don't know if you guys saw it or not, but after Saike joined the Wang clan, their first match was so shocking that I was stunned. Two rounds of Lion Dog's bloodbath swept the entire field, and even Stable Punch was crying in the toilet!"

  "Yes, the reason why Saisuke's arrival in China has received such a warm welcome from so many fans is precisely because everyone believes he can bring some different exciting matches to LPL!"

  “…………”

  ………

  After the introduction of the members on the Wangzuan team side was completed, the camera came to the soundproof room where the LCD team was located!

  "Okay, next up we have the LCD team, and first off is their captain, Hidesato Kinoshita. He's still as sunny and handsome as ever, and his hammer throws left a deep impression on us last season!" Miller introduced.

  "In fact, this season LCD team also joined two new professional players, we can......" Xiaomi finally managed to squeeze in a sentence.

  "But they are the ones who left STYZ, I saw the news today that STYZ has joined LSPL as a team, it's really a pity for LCD!" Miller's love for talent is great.

  "Uh..." Xiao Mi and Chang Mao both felt a bit awkward, one because he was interrupted, the other because it seemed inappropriate to reminisce about contestants who had already left in front of new contestants.

  "Actually, I think LCD is facing an even more severe test now..."

  "That's right, because they replaced two people, and both are newcomers. Actually, this has a great impact on the team." Miller said seriously: "Because in the early days of last season, they really played very well, and even relied on the spirit of newborn calves not afraid of tigers to rank among the top three in the standings, with excellent results. I don't know how far they can go this time!"

  Miller worriedly said: "Everyone knows that due to the relationship with S4 quota, the summer competition is absolutely incomparable to the spring season. Whether it's the rise of EDC teams or the introduction of Korean foreign aid, or even the return of old professional players like Wu State, all indicate that this season will be the most intense competitive season in the entire league. I can almost foresee the two months of fierce battles and bloody storms on the battlefield..."

  "Yes..." Long Mao hurriedly changed the subject, "Next up we have LCD's AD carry player Xi Ye, also a rookie, and it's his first time on the LPL stage."

  "Yes, Xi Ye is also a very famous high-scoring player in the national server. It's said that Wei Yan plays exceptionally well. This time, he can come to LCD and take STYZ's place, I hope he won't disappoint everyone and help the team rise again!" Miller is indeed a treasure of LPL, with vast knowledge, almost no player is unknown to him!

  "Right, then we see their mid laner, Fetim?" Long Mao stared foolishly at the ID on the screen.

  At this time, the camera was aimed at Chen Cheng who was warming up before the game.

  "Huh?" Miller was also stunned, as he found that this ID had never been heard of even by himself, and could only force a response according to the prompt board: "This is an LCD mid laner, who used Cinderella and Bomberman in the last two games!"

  Indeed, compared to the well-known players like Kele and Yumi who have been on the national server's king ranking board for nearly half a year, Chen Cheng, who disappeared completely after being on the first district's king ranking board for just a few days, is not recognized by many people.

  Wearing a white shirt, Xiaomi stood up in time and coughed slightly, adding: "Hmm, actually this player's national server ID is called Invincible Flying Cat, Fetim should be the pinyin abbreviation of 'Flying Cat', and this player's strength is also amazing. He won 27 consecutive victories on the national server a month ago and is currently the record holder for the highest ranking league in the first district, seemingly with 39 consecutive wins!"

  Xiaomi, who had been stuck in a rut for most of the game, finally found her own value. After commentating on the Demacia Cup matches a few days ago, she searched online for some personal information about Chen Cheng due to her sensitive nature as a commentator, and unexpectedly, it came in handy today!

  However, there is one thing that should be reminded to everyone. Although Coca-Cola Corn and others are standing on the LPL stage for the first time, they have at least played in other teams before and have been in the industry for a long time. But this Invincible Flying Cat is joining a professional team for the first time and participating in an offline match for the first time. Strictly speaking, this match can be considered his professional debut!

  "Oh? Well, we can look forward to that then. Hopefully he won't disappoint us in the match against the royal family!" Miller said.

  "I personally look forward very much to his performance..."

  “………”

  The introduction of the contestants is over, and soon the screen changes, the competition enters the BAN selection screen!

  It can be seen from the selection screen that Wangzuan is divided into blue and LCD is divided into purple! This is determined by the pre-match draw, but since the regular season matches are all BO2, both sides will switch sides after playing one game, so this draw actually doesn't give either side any substantial advantage, it's just a matter of order.

  "Alright, we can see that as the blue side, the king's team has banned Sylas, Angel and LeBlanc! Don't look at him sitting in the middle as the first commentator, but in front of Miller, known as 'Esports Huang Zhixiang', Long Mao can only do this kind of non-technical reading work. And LCD on the other side also banned Lulu, Lion Dog and new hero Bron!"

  "Yes, we didn't dare to slack off on the LCD side because of Seiko's lion dog. It seems they also watched the Wang clan vs YC match and came prepared!" Miller's tone was as passionate as ever.

  "That's right, we can see that the royal family has chosen Kassadin as their blue side pick!" Long Mao continued to comment.

  Miller said affirmatively: "It can be taken. In this version of Kassadin, although it has been cut once, it still has first-pick value."

  As expected, the royal family's first choice was indeed Kasadine!

  "Yes, the royal family has taken Cassadin, now it's LCD's turn to choose!" Long Mao followed up: "As the purple team, they have two picks, what kind of hero will they bring out to counter Cassadin?"

  “…………”

  PS: I finally know why so many people in the comment section said this team can't win the championship. It turns out I was deceived by the editor, who wrote a recommendation that said "The Chinese team has won all League of Legends championships" on the recommended page. This is simply 666666~~~I have to say, Editor-sama, your move is also super dirty . How could I not remember saying this sentence? Weakly asking, can I not be responsible for this sentence?
