The League of Legends Global Finals landed for the first time in China's LPL sprint

For global League of Legends (LoL) fans, nothing is more important than the 2017 LoL World Championship, also known as S7. This year, the event is being held in China, making it even more exciting for Chinese players. From September 23 to November 4, 24 top teams from around the world will compete in four Chinese cities across multiple stages, all aiming for the ultimate title of the season. Not only will the broadcast feature a top-tier commentary team providing insightful and entertaining analysis, but Tencent’s “Cloud Vision Aurora” app will also offer exclusive TV broadcasts, allowing fans to enjoy the action on large screens at home. The high-definition streaming ensures an immersive and thrilling viewing experience.

The S7 Global Finals are fast approaching, with the opening matches set to take place at the Wuhan Sports Center on September 23. The 24 teams have already been divided into groups, and the 12 teams that advance will face off in a double round-robin format in Wuhan, competing for four spots in the group stage. The Chinese LPL teams, including WE and LYN, are set to face tough challenges. Notably, WE has been drawn against GMB again this year, marking a reunion with Diamond, a veteran player often referred to as an e-sports legend.

Meanwhile, EDG and RNG, two other LPL teams, also found themselves in challenging groups. EDG faced SKT once again, a long-standing rival, which led Rookie to apologize to LPL fans for his bad luck. RNG, the all-Chinese squad, was placed in Group C, where they will face SSG, the runner-up from last year, and G2, one of Europe’s strongest teams. With these matchups, the group stage promises intense competition. Since the 2015 World Championship, LPL teams have struggled to break through the top eight, but this year, hopes are high for them to make a strong push toward the final in Beijing.

This year’s S7 also features an impressive commentary lineup, combining professionalism, humor, and entertainment. Veteran commentators like wAwa, Miller, Long Mao, and Ze Yuan bring years of experience and deep knowledge of the game. Their ability to analyze strategies and keep the energy high makes for an engaging viewing experience. Former pro player Grapefruit adds a unique perspective by breaking down game details, while Yutong, Eleven, and JoKer provide expert insights into international competitions. Additionally, newcomers like Remember, Illusion, Rita, and Su Xiaoxuan add fresh voices to the broadcast.

Beyond the commentators, the event also brings in popular guests such as PDD, Smiles, Ruofeng, Shen Chao, Sima, Sao Nan, and Xiao Cang. These personalities bring their own expertise and charisma, offering fans a richer and more entertaining experience. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just tuning in for fun, the S7 finals promise unforgettable moments.

As the most influential e-sports event globally, the LoL World Championship attracts over 43 million players worldwide. For the first time, it's hosted in China, creating huge excitement among local fans. Due to high demand, some fans might not be able to attend in person. However, they can still watch the entire tournament live on the "Cloud Vision Aurora" app via TV, enjoying high-quality HD streams and highlights. This is a must-watch event for every LoL fan.
