Chapter 719: Opening Ceremony of the Underworld

October 31, Saturday, sunny weather.

Today is the day of the finals. At 4 o'clock in the afternoon, Wanwan arrived at the Pudong Football Stadium in Pudong New District, Shanghai with her friends.

From a distance, the Pudong Football Stadium looks like a white jade bowl, lying quietly under the sun.

As another newly built professional football stadium in Shanghai, the Pudong Football Stadium has a total area of ​​about 130,000 square meters and will be put into use as the new home of the Chinese Super League giant Shanghai SIPG.

This football stadium is not officially completed yet. It was only delivered in stages in September. The S10 finals is the first large-scale public competition hosted by the Pudong Football Stadium since its construction.

Outside the stadium is a wide stone square. From the entrance of the square to the outside of the stadium, there are S10 theme posters hanging. TAKE OVER is unstoppable, indicating that both sides of the final will go all out here.

Go up the stairs and enter the square. The theme songs of the finals over the years are played in the square in a loop, rendering the atmosphere very exciting.

Although only more than 6,000 seats were open for the finals, the venue was already very lively.

In addition to the summoner crystal in the center of the square, the most eye-catching thing was probably the ancient dragon statue about five or six meters high next to it. The dragon flapped its wings and roared, full of momentum, and the classic image of the Canyon Summoner was engraved on the base.

Many people took photos with the ancient dragon. Wanwan and her friends waited for a long time before they got the chance to take photos with the dragon.

Although there was no LPL team in the finals this time, as the most special finals in history under the epidemic, many viewers were unwilling to miss this opportunity to go to the scene in person.

After all, the summoners who were able to draw tickets were not only loyal players, but also European emperors. The probability of three million people signing up to draw 6,000 tickets was only 2 in 1000.

Finding the KT support distribution point, Wanwan and her friends received stickers with the KT team logo and printed them on the back of their hands.

Wanwan forced her to print the KT logo on the back of her hand, and her friend protested: "Wanwan, I don't want this sticker. I don't support LCK teams! I want the summoner's logo."

Wanwan proudly shook the back of her hand, "Protest is invalid! Let's go! Let's go pick up the bus."

"Ah~~~ No, it looks so stupid?"

Ignoring her friend's complaints, Wanwan pulled her away.

Along the way, many Cosplayers dressed up as heroes to take photos with the audience, but Wanwan was not very interested. She pulled her friend to the team arrival area and waited patiently.

The buses of the two teams will arrive here later, and there are already a few scattered fans waiting.

Unlike football fans who will block the bus enthusiastically, it can be seen that Lin Cheng is quite popular in China. Everyone at the scene brought KT or Lin Cheng's image support items.

KT arrived outside the competition venue at 4:30 pm, just about an hour and a half in advance.

"Brother Chengzi, come on!"

As soon as Lin Cheng got off the bus, he saw a slim girl waving at him a few meters away.

She was wearing KT's white jacket and jeans, with a mask on her face and the wind blowing her long hair from the side, so most of her face could not be seen clearly.

But Lin Cheng recognized her voice at once.

He smiled and waved at her, "Come on! Wanwan."

After saying that, Lin Cheng did not stay and led his teammates into the venue through the passage led by the cordon next to him.

"Wow! Brother Cheng recognized me."

Wanwan happily waved the small flag in her hand, her eyes narrowed with smiles.

The girl next to her quickly pretended not to know her. She could not imagine that her usually quiet friend would wave and shout in such an occasion, and laugh like a fool.

Lin Cheng was in a good mood after receiving Wanwan's unexpected cheering on the spot. He hummed a little song and went to the lounge inside the venue with his teammates, adjusting their emotions and waiting for the start of the game.

After half past five, countless viewers turned their attention to the scene through the broadcast of various language streaming platforms.

The entire KT team was already preparing to appear in the backstage channel, and they would be on stage after a short opening ceremony.

And this would be the first time that Lin Cheng had played a game with live audiences since he entered the professional field.

Lin Cheng had waited too long for this moment, and his heart was inexplicably excited.

The screen next to him was broadcasting the scene live.

A video was played on the big screen at the scene, and Qi Jiang, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, gave a speech with dead fish eyes, and the last sentence pointed out the theme of unstoppable.

The figures of the players from both sides suddenly appeared on the two big screens on the left and right of the scene, and they flashed one by one from the auxiliary to the top lane, and the opening ceremony of the scene officially began.

The opening is usually the time for the global pop music company Riot to promote the new song of its own daughter girl group.

However, due to the epidemic, most of the real actors of the KDA girl group this year were unable to come to the scene, and the Chinese singer Liu Boxin, who played the role of KDA's new member Seraphine, could only bring the opening part of the new song "More".

The Chinese part of the opening song immediately captured the hearts of the audience, and Liu Boxin's singing was indeed very cool.

But something was wrong when Kuro's favorite Tian Xiaojuan's voice came out.

Because Tian Xiaojuan and other KDA members could not come to the scene, they had to be replaced by virtual KDA members. There was no problem with the sound, but the on-site special effects were simply unbearable.

Akali riding a motorcycle into the venue has a special effect like a ghost, and the other virtual characters behind are also painted in the same style.

The barrage in the Chinese live broadcast room has exploded.

"Fuck! What the hell is this? It's an eyesore!"

"Why do Akali and Ahri look like ghosts? Their faces and bodies are all broken."

"This modeling, picked up a ghost!"

"I'm fucking cracked."

"How strong a connection does this production company have to get this project? It's simply amazing!"

"The children will cry when they see it."

"Where is my Tian Xiaojuan? Where is my Mian Jie?"

"This is a big scene! It's a party in the underworld, right?"

"This awkward dance makes me dizzy. The real-life performance two years ago is much better."

The KT people waiting in the backstage channel were also dumbfounded.

Kuro: "I was still expecting Xiaojuan to perform live? No! It's okay that she didn't come, what does this animation mean?"

Bono: "Great! This is the most special opening I've ever seen."

Lin Cheng patted Kuro on the shoulder, "Don't be discouraged! Perform well in the finals, win the championship and ask the club to invite Tian Xiaojuan to the event, maybe you can hear her sing this song live."

Kuro laughed and didn't take it to heart.

Lin Cheng was secretly thinking that he had to find a way to help Kuro get an autographed photo of Tian Xiaojuan.

He will retire next year, so he has to send this guy off peacefully.
