Seeing that Deft was silent, the director said, "Let's switch the support position. IG's Baolan and KT's Mata."

Baolan and Mata walked up together. Mata was a very strong and domineering man.

Baolan looked very petite, and when they sat face to face, the contrast was immediately apparent.

Baolan said: "I hope that in this final, we can each play to our respective strengths and play the most exciting game."

Hearing this, everyone from IG and KT was stunned. What was going on?
Others are here to say harsh words, what is Baolan doing?
Prince Ning couldn't bear to watch it anymore: "My turtle, what are you doing here? Say something harsh, oh my god!"

Yuan Shen said, "That's his personality. You can't force it."

Rookie laughed and said, "I want to know how the opponent will respond. If Mata says something too harsh, it won't feel good either, as it will make him seem too aggressive."

Yuan Shen nodded. Saying harsh words requires cooperation from the other party, which means that the other party must also say harsh words.

If the other person says that friendship comes first and competition comes second, and you continue to say harsh words, it will appear that you are too narrow-minded and have too low quality.

Mata indeed hesitated for a moment. She probably didn't expect it to be like this and needed to reorganize her words.

After some thought, Mata said: "I know Baolan is a very good support player. I often watch his games. I feel very honored to play against him in the finals this time. I hope I can play a good game."

Baolan responded: "I hope so."

Something even more outrageous happened. Baolan stood up and wanted to shake hands with Mata. Mata hesitated for a moment, but still stood up and shook hands.

So everyone from IG and KT was dumbfounded on the spot, and everyone on both sides was stunned.

Other positions were mocking each other and the atmosphere was very tense, but when it came to the support position, there was a 180-degree reversal?
"Okay, that's a good thing." Yuan Shen muttered.

Prince Ning was disappointed: "Princess Lan is really too weak."

After the trash talk session, the director continued to arrange other shoots, with IG and KT shooting separately. These were all materials for making promotional videos, mainly shooting some actions and reciting lines.

It looks ordinary and even a little funny now, but after post-production, it is different.

After the filming, the IG team left the competition venue, found a place to eat, and then returned to the hotel together to start training.

A few days passed quickly, and the day of the finals arrived!
At noon, IG finished all the training, ate something, and began to rest and recharge their batteries.

Fu Manduo said, "Now adjust your mentality and emotions, relax, and treat it as a BO5 training match."

Ning Wang smiled: "Training match? Then can I go up and play?"

Baolan complained: "Can't you just lie down and win the championship? Don't make trouble."

Prince Ning was angry: "Princess Lan, I have tolerated you for a long time. Do you believe that I can win even if I play as a support? Do you think I can't play as a support?"

After hearing this, Smlz was the most nervous. It's not that he didn't believe in Ning Wang's support level, the key is that there was no running-in and they couldn't cooperate.

Yuan Shen was looking at his phone nearby, and people from EDG and RNG in the group sent their blessings.

EDG, Meiko: "Come on in the finals, IG, you are the hope of LPL."

RNG, UZI: "Given IG's current strength, I feel like it shouldn't be a problem to beat KT, as long as there aren't any surprises."

EDG, Scout: "KT is still very strong. We can't underestimate them."

RNG, Xiaohu: "What are you afraid of? We have Yuan Shen here. It's just a matter of sprinkling some water."

When the time came to the bottom lane, Fu Manduo called out, "It's almost time, let's get ready to go."

Everyone in IG stood up and, led by Fumanduo, left the hotel and headed straight to the competition venue.

On the way, Yuan Shen could see many billboards on the roadside, all of which were announcing the upcoming finals, and it seemed like they were being taken very seriously.

When the bus passed the entrance of the venue, Yuan Shen saw many people walking inside, holding various cheering signs in their hands.

The bus slowly entered the parking lot, and Fu Manduo greeted, "We are going to take a taxi, bring your things, don't forget."

Everyone in IG was ready to get off the bus and put on their bags.

After the car stopped, Yuan Shen got out and walked towards the competition venue. At this moment, another bus drove over. Yuan Shen took a look and saw the KT team logo on the body of the bus. KT people were also here!
The KT bus stopped nearby, the door opened, and Smeb got off the bus first, followed by the rest of the KT team.

The IG and KT players greeted each other, entered the competition venue first, and went straight to the lounge.

Arriving at the lounge, Yuan Shen put down his bag, took out his phone and went to Tieba to check out the online trends:
"Today is the finals, brothers, let's cheer for IG together."

"Do I still need to watch IG's game? Wake up and it's another victory."

"IG vs KT, Zhang Fei eats bean sprouts."

"You know what, KT is quite good. I think it will be difficult for IG to win."

Most LPL viewers are relatively optimistic. After all, the strength that IG has shown before shows that IG is in good shape.

On the other side, at the competition site, the number of spectators was increasing. The venue was not big and was almost full.

In the LPL commentary booth, Wawa said: "Welcome to the 2018 World Championship. The final will be held soon. The two teams are IG from the LPL and KT from the LCK."

Miller continued: "In the past semi-finals, KT and IG's performances were remarkable. Now that the finals are here, both sides will show their best and bring us a visual feast!"

At the scene, the host came on stage and began to read the opening remarks.

In the KT lounge, everyone in KT gathered together, and the coach said:

"This is the last game. We must keep this championship trophy in LCK. The former glory of LCK will be restored by us, KT! It is our duty to restore the glory of LCK! KT, must win!"

“KT, must win!”

On the other side, in the IG lounge, Fu Manduo called out, "It's almost time, get ready to go on stage, everyone come over first."

Everyone on IG put down their phones, stood up, and surrounded Fumanduo.

Fu Manduo said: "We have created countless legends and myths. Now we are standing on the finals stage. There are many teams that want to challenge us and replace us, but we have never been defeated. This time will be no exception. IG will win!"

"IG, we must win!"

After the on-site host's opening remarks, he greeted:

"Now, let's welcome the two opponents. First, the challenger, the absolute champion from LCK, KT!"

KT's team is on stage! All KT fans are excited:
"KT! KT! KT!"

The host continued: "Top lane, Smeb!"

Smeb walked out, and his statistics and photos appeared on the big screen.

“Ahhhhh…” Many female fans at the scene started screaming, after all, Smeb is quite handsome.

Smeb calmly walked to the side of the stage, stood facing the audience, and accepted the audience's welcome.

"Jungler, Score!"

Score came on stage and the audience went wild again.

"Mid lane, UcaL!"

"ADC, Deft!"

"Assist, Mata!"

Everyone will be warmly welcomed when they appear, and various data will be displayed on the big screen. These are the data collected in this S game, from hero pool, KDA, MVP points, to average economy, average damage, and damage percentage.

Soon, KT's starting five stood on the stage, accepting the cheers and encouragement from the audience.

"Now, let us warmly welcome KT's opponent, the three-time champion team, the absolute king of the League of Legends field, the undefeated general from the LPL region, IG!"

"IG! IG! IG!" Unlike the chaotic cheers of KT fans, IG fans are more disciplined.

"Top lane, Theshy!"

The audience screamed.

Theshy walked through the aisle and towards the stage. The spotlight shone on him, and there were data and makeup photos on the big screen.

Theshy walked to the stage, on the IG side, and stood facing the audience.

"Jungle, Yuanshen!"

When Yuan Shen's ID was read out, the entire venue was shaken by the audience's cheers.

"God Yuan! God Yuan! God Yuan!"

Many LCK fans are shouting that this is respect for the strong.

LCK is a relatively closed market, and only Yuan Shen can open up the situation here. Neither Theshy nor Rookie can do this.

Yuan Shen walked out of the passage and headed towards the stage. Along the way, there were cheers and waves. Many audiences held his cheering signs in their hands and waved them wildly, making the scene very lively for a while.

Yuan Shen's data was displayed on the big screen. At a glance, he ranked first in various places. The jungler took the first place in output share among all positions. It can only be described as horrifying!

"Mid lane, Rookie!"

Rookie came on stage, and many people cheered for him.

"ADC, Smlz!"

“Assist, Baolan!”

All five IG players appeared on the stage and stood next to KT.

Suddenly, the lights on the stage dimmed and the promotional video for the finals began playing on the big screen.

The first one to show his face was Yuan Shen, standing on a high platform, looking down at all living beings, like a god king!
The other five teammates are like five guardians, standing in different postures to protect the God-King!
On the stage, the IG and KT teams were still standing, but the difference was that they had adjusted to face each other, with Yuan Shen facing KT jungler Score.

After the promo video ends, it enters a trash talk environment.

Although the IG members cannot see the picture, they can hear the sound.

So I feel very awkward. I felt I was quite handsome when I said it, but now I suddenly feel a little embarrassed. After all, this is in front of the whole world.

After the promotional video was finished, the lights on the stage came on again.

The IG and KT players shook hands and walked towards their respective positions.

Yuan Shen returned to his seat, put on headphones, and began to debug the equipment.

Fu Manduo's voice came from the headset: "Cheer up, get off to a good start and win the first game, then we will have a psychological advantage."

Everything is ready, and at the referee's signal, the first game begins!

Enter the BP stage.

IG is on the red side and KT is on the blue side.

BAN position situation:
IG: Kaisa, Lucian, Xia

KT: Shen, Nightmare, Syndra

Wang Duoduo began to analyze: "IG's targeting is very direct, it's right at the bottom lane. Deft is now the person IG needs to be most wary of. As for other positions, IG really has nothing to fear."

"KT's bans are evenly distributed. In fact, to a large extent, IG's mid, top and jungle heroes have interchangeable hero pools, so it's hard to completely target them."

KT on the blue side got the barrel on the first floor.

It was IG's turn, and IG locked down Aatrox and Olaf on the first and second floors.

Wawa commented: "Is this Olaf in the jungle? He seems a bit irritable. I think I can already see the lineup style of IG in this game."

Miller agreed, "That's right. Since we chose Olaf and Aatrox, we should focus on charging. The other positions must also be able to match up. We can't just rely on these two people to charge in."

KT got Irelia and Galio on the second and third floors.

Wang Duoduo analyzed: "This Irelia... I think it is most likely a top lane Irelia, mainly because Irelia is slow to operate. UcaL's Irelia... I can only say is not as good as Smeb."

IG got Luo on the third floor and entered the second round of BP.

IG also banned Alistar and Braum.

KT also banned Leblanc and Clockwork.

IG locked onto the Great Inventor on the fourth floor.

The doll was surprised: "Ah? Great inventor? Which position is this great inventor?"

"Is it the top lane? Or the mid lane? Is it the bottom lane?"

Miller analyzed carefully: "It could be the bottom lane, because when IG played against G2 before, G2's bottom lane was the great inventor, and it crushed IG's bottom lane badly."

KT locked Varus and Tam on the fourth and fifth floors.

And IG got Fiora on the fifth floor!

"Sharp sword, sharp eyes!"

This sword girl will blow up the whole place!
Wawa explained: "No, what's going on with this Sword Princess? Is it the top single Sword Princess?"

"That's the mid laner Aatrox? IG's lineup in this game feels very interesting. It looks a bit messy, but it's worth looking forward to. I feel like KT might have been confused by IG. They probably didn't understand it at first."

Both sides began to adjust their line-up, and soon the lineup was finalized:
Red side IG: Top Fiora, Jungle Olaf, Mid Fiora, ADC Inventor, Support Rakan
Blue side KT: Top Irelia, Jungle Gragas, Mid Galio, ADC Varus, Support Tam
Wang Duoduo sighed: "Is this IG's learning ability? They really learned G2's bottom lane play style. Now KT must be the one with a headache. KT has definitely never seen IG use this play style."

Entering the game screen, Yuan Shen began to set the pace:

"This one stirs things up, fights, crazy fights!"

Smlz responded: "It's not easy to fight in our bottom lane... We may have to focus on defense."

Yuan Shen made arrangements: "You don't have to fight in the bottom lane, your hero is used for defense, we will fight in the middle, top and jungle."

Baolan said: "I will support you depending on the situation."

At level one, the five IG players chose to stand separately and take a defensive stance.

The opponent didn't seem to have any intention of invading, so Yuan Shen took the BUFF with the help of the duo and then brushed from bottom to top.

On the top lane, at level 1, Theshy's Fiora was lying in ambush in the bush, and it was the opposite bush!

Smeb's Irelia came from under the defensive tower, close to the line of soldiers, and the first flaw was in a good position, so Fiora directly Q'd over, destroyed the flaw, gained the acceleration effect, and chased after her. (End of this chapter)
