Today’s FTD has completely transformed from a grassroots team into a top professional e-sports team in China, and entered the global finals as the second seed in the LPL league.
Although it is the second seed, the popularity of FTD is the highest, and it is also the most powerful contender for this championship. FDT has created countless miracles along the way, and the road of counterattack has become a good story in the circle, even Gu Zheng is also looking forward to the performance of this team in the global finals.
Currently, there are three Chinese teams directly entering the League of Legends S game, namely the first seed SKY team, the second seed FTD team, and the third seed XC (XC) team.
In addition, there are teams such as Longteng (LT) and TK that are currently competing for the final place in the group stage in the finalists.
The beginning of the League of Legends global finals also instantly increased the user activity of the Zhengfeng e-sports platform, and the user data of the live channel also continued to rise.
However, for this game, the live broadcast channel of the Zhengfeng e-sports platform is not the only channel for watching the live broadcast of the game. You can also watch the live broadcast on the Huaxiahuala platform in China, and many foreign media have also paid for the live broadcast rights of this event.
After a week of fierce competition, Huaxia’s Longteng team successfully broke through and entered the group stage from the finals.
The day before the start of the group stage, the official platform of Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment, together with a number of media and music platforms, jointly released the theme song “Nirvana” and MV for the “League of Legends” global finals.
Not only that, Gao Xilin also sang the song “Nirvana” live on the live broadcast platform on the same day, creating momentum for the upcoming League of Legends group stage.
“Wow, the final theme song, Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment is indeed a music production company!”
“Haha, how much Gu always likes to make music. During this period of time, I don’t need so many music works for e-sports games. I didn’t expect to have music works in the competition!”
“But this theme song is so nice, Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment is indeed a music company that was delayed by the game!”
“It’s so burning, watching the MV aroused my enthusiasm and I look forward to the next game!”
“Gao Xilin’s voice is so nice, this song is perfect for her to sing!”
“The English version is also super nice!”
“The official announcement has just been made. At the opening ceremony of the finals, Gao Xilin will sing this theme song live, and there will be live performances by many top singers and dancers from all over the world!”
“I look forward to it, it must be very beautiful!”
“I just want to see my goddess Zhang Zhiyue, she should be a guest commentator!”
“Sure, she is now one of the official e-sports commentators of Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment, and she is also the current absolute top-rate e-sports anchor, not less well-known than those celebrities!”
“I heard that the finals will be explained in 16 different languages simultaneously. Tsk tsk, this tournament is really comparable to the World Cup!”
“The World Cup may not be watched by so many people. There are absolutely no League of Legends players and spectators, as well as professional players!”
“The influence of this competition is really not lower than that of the World Cup. Look at the naming and sponsoring manufacturers, all of them are the world’s top brands!”
“I heard that the official said that new heroes will be released at the opening ceremony of the finals!”
“Hurry up and wait for the new game to be released by Zhengfeng Interactive Entertainment!”
The theme song “Nirvana” quickly became popular all over the world, which brought more attention to this game and ignited the blood of countless League of Legends players.
After the start of the group stage, the number of viewers on the whole network of the match rose to a new height, but by the time of the first day of the knockout match, the number of viewers of the match was already small and doubled when the group match started.
The three seeded teams in the Huaxia Division managed to get close to the knockout stage, among which SKY and FTD both advanced to the knockout stage with the first results in the group.
Team Xingchen also qualified for the second place in the group, but Team Longteng was regrettably out and stopped in the group stage.
Among them, SKY is definitely the royal team with the golden key. They are the Hu Guyue club’s team, and two of the team are the teenagers who were first trained by Gu Zheng to conduct live battles. For example, they are famous in the circle. Luo Xiaohao.
From a certain point of view, they can also be regarded as the enlightenment teachers of most professional e-sports players.
Of course, in the final analysis, everyone’s enlightenment teacher is Gu Zheng, and Luo Xiaohao is just the communicator, but Luo Xiaohao is indeed the first batch of e-sports players and one of the most powerful professional players in the world.
In addition to the SKY and FTD teams, the most eye-catching teams in this game are the LBC team from the Kimchi country and the AKA team from North America. These two teams are also recognized in the industry as potential champions.
On the first day of the knockout round, China’s No. 1 seed SKY 3:0 defeated the No. 1 seed GL team in the European Division, becoming the first team to advance to the semi-finals.
The scene of this game was also packed. The highest number of live broadcast of the game and the number of viewers also reached a staggering 100 million, setting a record for the highest number of simultaneous viewers of the game. Of course, this is also because of Luo Xiaohao’s personal popularity and popularity in the world.
On the second day of the knockout round, the FTD team will play against T9, also from North America. This game is also highly anticipated. The popularity of FTD in China is very high, and it has even surpassed SKY, which is known as the Royal Forest Army.
Therefore, the scene of this game is also packed with crowds, and the number of viewers on the live broadcast platform is also very large. Although it did not exceed the data of yesterday’s SKY game, it is similar, and the number of viewers in China has surpassed SKY.
At the beginning of the game, FTD lived up to expectations and easily won two consecutive victories with absolute advantage and also won the match point.
In the third game, FTD came up with a lineup that had never been used before, which made many people think that they had the chance to win, and they were going to treat this third game as a practice game.
This is indeed the case. They are full of confidence in today’s game. They also believe that the Kimchi Nation’s LBC team and the North American AKA team can also get close to the semifinals, and they will definitely meet LBC in the subsequent games. And the AKA team.
FTD is very familiar with the SKY team in the same division. The two sides have also played against each other many times in previous LPL matches, so they basically know each other, but the two teams from foreign divisions are relatively unfamiliar, even so far except for practice matches. In addition, they have not played against each other in the official arena.
Therefore, during this time, FTD has conducted in-depth research on the play styles and routines of the LBC and AKA teams, and also explored some coping strategies. They also learned, summarized and researched in the course of the global finals. New lineups, new tactics, in order to deal with more variables.
They have practiced this lineup many times in the past few days, but they haven’t officially gotten it on the field, so today they plan to try the water.
As the knockout matches were in full swing, Gu Zheng was in the Bird’s Nest venue watching the rehearsal of the opening ceremony of the finals.
The finals of the League of Legends Global Finals will be held in the Bird’s Nest Stadium. At the same time, the opening ceremony of the finals will also be performed here. At present, the venue and stage of the entire game have been set up, and today the first performance rehearsal was held .
“Guzheng, this stage effect is okay!” Wang Di said with a smile while sitting under the stage.
“The effect of watching the live broadcast with VR equipment is better. We have made a lot of special effects that combine game elements!” Gu Zheng is not humble. They definitely put their efforts in this opening ceremony and vowed to create the most shocking stage in the world. The effect completely ignited the climax of the entire event.
“In the future, for concerts and gala evenings of our company’s artists, you will also help me design and play some new tricks!” Wang Di said with a grin.
“It’s easy to say…”
On the stage, popular female singers from the United States sang songs enthusiastically, and the back dancers danced with light and shadow special effects. Although it was just a rehearsal, the singers and actors were very hardworking and serious.
And they all have a wealth of stage experience, and there were almost no mistakes in the first rehearsal.
But despite this, Gu Zheng still requires them to conduct multiple live rehearsals to be absolutely foolproof. The attention of this finals is definitely far more than all the current competitions, and it is also the first S game. No blemish is allowed.
In the arena, although FTD came up with a new lineup in the third game, it still played well, winning the final game steadily and successfully approaching the semi-finals.
In the next two days, South Korea’s No. 1 seed LBC won the game without any suspense, eliminated the opponent, and entered the semi-finals. The American AKA team also crushed their opponents with a strong 3:0 and entered the semi-finals.
The teams competing in the semi-finals will be determined by the captain’s draw.
“Although we are very happy that we have played and promoted to the two teams by ourselves, but it’s so worrying, don’t run into your own country’s team!”
“Yeah, I’m so afraid of fighting in our division!”
“It is estimated that LBC and AKA are praying not to be drawn to the Huaxia team!”
“If there is a civil war, I would really look forward to FTD counterattack SKY. To be honest, FTD was really a pity in the LPL finals. They almost won the first place. I think their performance in the global finals is better than SKY. outstanding!”
“Yes, I will always support FTD, defeat SKY and prove myself!”
“Anyway, there are grudges and grievances in the LPL next year, and now is the time to unite together!”
“Yes, and if both of our teams can enter the finals, wouldn’t it be better, one first and one second. Let people from all countries in the world take a look at the strength of our Huaxia team!”
“Haha, that must be very cool, the finals have directly become the LPL finals!”
“It all depends on luck…”
Amidst the enthusiastic discussions among netizens, the result of the semi-final match draw finally came out.
As many Chinese netizens hoped, FTD and SKY did not meet in advance. FTD faced the LBC team of Kimchi Country, and SKY faced the North American AKA team.
As soon as the news came out, Huaxia fans and players were really excited and relieved. Many people were also shouting that all LPL teams would enter the finals, allowing foreign teams to stop at the semi-finals.
However, the netizens of Kimchi Nation chanted on all major platforms that the FTD team and SKY team stopped in the semi-finals, and the champion was none other than the remarks of the LBC team.
Players from Europe, America, Australia and other countries are all on the side of the AKA team, hoping that this team can kill SKY and advance to the finals.
Many people even said that if both FTD and SKY make it to the finals, then they will not read such remarks in the finals.
“Hey, if these foreign teams don’t work hard, I’m afraid that the finals will really turn into an LPL civil war!” Hu Guyue pinched her eyebrows and smiled bitterly.
“If that’s the case, there is no way, but I don’t think the result is necessarily, maybe it won’t be as we feared!” Gu Zheng said. In fact, from a personal point of view, he naturally hopes that both of his country’s teams can enter the final , Won the top two.
But from the commercial point of view of the event, Gu Zheng actually hopes to see the competition between two different national teams, so that the finals will be more attractive and more exciting, otherwise it will really become an LPL competition.
Then this world-wide game has lost its flavor. I am afraid that except for the **** fans of the two teams, everyone else seems to care less about the outcome. After all, no matter who wins, it means that China has won the world championship. .
This will inevitably seriously affect the ratings and attention of the finals and greatly reduce the influence of the event. This is something Hu Guyue and Gu Zheng are unwilling to see.
But if it is two different countries, it will be different. The dramatic suspense of contradictions and conflicts will all come, and it can definitely attract countless players to watch and countless people eating melons to watch.
This battle is bound to become a story, a milestone game in the history of e-sports.
“Look at the performance of FTD tomorrow. If they enter the finals, then I can only sacrifice SKY!” Hu Guyue said, as the current shareholder and main person in charge of the League of Legends event.
Naturally, Hu Guyue must consider the brand of the event and focus on the interests of the event itself. After all, this is the first global finals, and it is a crucial moment for them to build the S game brand. Therefore, he hopes to do anything for the best results. Other sacrifices.
Including sacrificing one’s own team.
“No, we can’t deprive every professional player of the right to pursue their dreams. This will go against the original intention of our event, and it will be unfair to your players. If this goes out, it will have a greater impact on our event!” Gu Zheng said. Although he can understand Hu Guyue’s consideration and sacrifice for the overall situation, and SKY’s main mission was to serve the entire competition brand and system, so Hu Guyue’s sentence may really make them choose to lose the game.
But Gu Zheng didn’t want to do this, because he didn’t want to ruin everyone’s chance to chase his dreams. Perhaps it seemed that he had given up a competition and there would still be opportunities in the future, but Gu Zheng knew that for those teenagers, he had missed this one. They may have missed the chance to win the Summoner’s trophy forever.
There are not many chances in life that can be repeated. Opportunities are sometimes fleeting. He established the League of Legends event and hoped to give everyone a fair chance.
“That’s okay, but…” Hu Guyue hesitated but stopped.
“In short, we can’t do that. Regardless of the result, we will accept it. Even if the ratings of the finals plummet, we can still make the first event brand!” Gu Zheng said with a serious expression.
