You’re Beautiful When You Smile

Chapter 163 Part 1

Soon it was September 30, the day before the long weekend of the Chinese National Day holiday and the opening day for the 2016 League of Legends Professional Leagues World Tournament.

All the Chinese people who followed the professional league turned into various streams at 7 o’clock in the morning waiting to watch the opening ceremony of S6. These people were either taking a break from work, or skipping classes, or had simply stayed up all night at home so they wouldn’t miss the start of the stream…… Many of the streams had already started since 6 am before the opening ceremony officially started. Viewers were able to watch the lucky fans who were able to go to the arena arrive with various cheering banners or boards. They also could see the staff running around getting ready for the opening ceremony. The bullet comments were also bustling-- --

[Why hasn’t it started yet?]

[The last time I was this nervous was for the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony…… Will the China region be able to prove its worth this year?]

[I wish I could be there!]

[The Sona cosplayer has nice boobs 66666]

[I see someone cos Yasuo. Big brother, let me tell you, if you cosplay as this champion in this country, you’ll get beaten up.]

[China region! China region! China region!]

[I feel sorry for all of the Bronze and Silver out there, why bother watching all the noobs from the China region picking on each other. It’s better to watch the godly fights among the Korean teams.]

……

The chaotic scene lasted till 6:59:50 am. The pitch black stage suddenly lit up! The number “10” appeared at the same time on the four large screens around the stage-- --The audience in the arena grew excited. They waved the cheering sticks in their hands and started to count down in unison!

Ten.

Nine.

Eight.

……

Four.

Three.

Two-- --

Accompanied with a loud bang, white fog flowed out from the stage and there was a woman’s voice singing [Welcome to your life]. Her voice was deep and husky, penetrating into everyone’s eardrums-- --An elevator platform in the center of the stage slowly rose up. A shining, exquisite S6 championship trophy appeared in front of everyone’s eyes……

The audience went crazy. They stood up, shouting and cheering the names of the teams they supported and loved-- --

Amidst the cheering, the light in the center of the stage gradually grew brighter. The background music <Everybody Wants to Rule the World> began to play. When the woman’s voice sang the words [rule the world], golden rays of light suddenly appeared on the four big screens!

The pictures on the screen became clearer. The golden rays of light were peaking through the mass of cream colored mist. Gradually people could see an ancient deity with a golden crown on its head and golden wings walk out of the mist. The deity’s eyes were closed, it was difficult to make out their facial features, but it looked haughty and indifferent-- --The crown symbolized the status of this region’s position in the past few years and the deity’s overall appearance emphasized their dominance. When the lens got closer, the beam of light suddenly shone from behind the deity, dispersing the mist as the light shone on the crown.

The deity opened its eyes.

In the middle of the stage, right in front of where the S6 championship trophy was placed, an elevator platform rose up. The three teams from Korean region, 15 regular players, stood back to back, forming a triangle gradually appeared in front of the audience-- --

In the meantime, all four giant screens were playing highlights from matches that the three teams had played in their summer competition. Accompanied by the exuberant shouting of the Korean commentators in the background, the main screen showed the last moment of the Korean region summer season: the five players of team TAT lifting up the trophy of the summer competition.

The audience started to loudly chant in unison “LCK!”[1] “LCK!” Though S6 was held in the US, the fans for the Korean teams were still much greater than those of the other regions since the Korean region was the king of this game!

[1]: LCK is short for the Korean league: League of Legends Champions Korea.
