Chapter 267-Drawing ceremony, China-South Korea battle!
"Congratulations to IG!!! Congratulations to IG for winning the 2016 LPL Summer Championship and their third consecutive league championship. IG has tied EDG's record!!"
"The Ice Spearwoman in this match is truly amazing!!"
"And this also means the birth of the No. 1 seed of LPL!"
"Not only that, EDG will participate in the upcoming S6 World Finals as the second seed of LPL because of the highest points throughout the year!"
In the commentary booth, Wawa Miller and PDD were still discussing.
The competition venue and the outside world were in an uproar.
Three to one!
IG has won the LPL championship three times in a row. The first two times were swept 3-0, and this time it won 3-1. Although they played one more game, so far no one has been able to force IG into a life-and-death game!
BO5 is the best way to test a team's strength. It tests the hero pool, tactical depth, player mentality, and concentration in all aspects...
The BO1 upset can be attributed to carelessness and underestimation of the opponent, but the BO5 loss was simply a complete lack of skills. There is nothing much to say.
But even if one's skills are not as good as others, they are still divided into three levels.
The score of 3 to 2 proves that the two teams are on par in terms of strength and condition.
If we play again, it won’t be surprising who wins. It all depends on luck and the players’ courage.
Three to one proves that there is a certain degree of gap in hard power between the two teams.
And three to zero is the gap between two different levels.
Whether it was the players' performance or the tactical depth, they were completely blown away.
In other words, in the current LPL, IG's strength is still unique.
The score between EDG and RNG is two to three.
These two teams are equally strong.
As for WE and IM, they are at an even lower level.
"Play well in the bubble match. You are definitely good enough to enter the world competition."
Yuan Shen patted Xiang Guo on the shoulder. After today's game, there was no big surprise for him.
As for the incense pot, it was a bit uncomfortable.
This is his first time to reach the LPL finals, and he really wants to prove himself.
Unfortunately, no.
The style of fasting jungle and the idea of ganking against the rhythm were completely calculated by Yuan Shen.
Especially Pantheon in the third game, two waves of ganks directly blew through the upper and lower lanes.
He was the one who blamed himself the most after losing the game.
"Congratulations, you played like Mingkai today. If I hadn't enabled the ID display, I would have suspected that Mingkai logged in from another location."
Xiang Guo gave a wry smile and punched.
"After this, I'll treat you to a meal. I have to get back the prize money I lost. And Jack and Xiao Ming, don't let any of them escape!!"
Seeing Xiang Guo’s angry look, everyone in IG started laughing.
There are a total of ten people on the field, four of whom are members of the original Seven Wolves.
Do you understand what gold content is? !
This year's summer season champion will receive a prize of 500 million.
It is clear that LPL is wealthy.
Yuan Shen was also very moved by this bonus.
If I remember correctly, the original prize money for the S6 Summer Championship was only 150 million.
This year, due to the sponsorship and participation of many big capitals, the official LPL prize money has increased several times.
For Yuan Shen, this amount of money is nothing, but for Xiao Ming, who has only been in the LPL arena for a year, it is indeed a huge sum of money.
……
"Congratulations again to IG for winning the Summer League Championship! This season, IG has won the Spring and Summer League Championships, and is the second LPL team to achieve this achievement. So first of all, I would like to ask Yuanshen, how do you feel now?"
The person in charge of the interview was still Yu Shuang.
"Well……"
Yuan Shen pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said, "EDG is the first team to win three consecutive championships, and the first Spring and Summer League champions. IG is still a little behind. For me, winning the LPL league championship is not something to be proud of. From the moment I stepped into the professional arena, I have only one pursuit, and that is the championship.
My teammates are all top players in the world. Together with them, I want to win more championships, not one, not two..."
Yuan Shen glanced at Yu Shuang, then looked at the audience below the stage.
"For a professional player, winning a championship is his job, not something to brag about. That's how it should be, isn't it?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the competition venue and the live broadcast room went crazy.
"Fuck, this is too pretentious!"
“I wonder how many professional players don’t have a championship!!”
"I'm dying of laughter. You're trying to scam me without even winning the championship?"
"I think what you said is right. Isn't it normal for a professional player to win the championship?"
……
"what?"
Yu Shuang was also stunned for a moment. She didn't expect Yuan Shen to say that.
"Well, now that IG is the No. 1 seed of LPL and will soon participate in the global finals held in North America, what are Yuanshen's expectations for this world championship?"
Yu Shuang originally thought that Yuan Shen would say something like winning the championship. After all, in a previous interview, Yuan Shen had clearly stated that he wanted to win two consecutive championships and achieve an unprecedented achievement.
But what she didn't expect was that Yuan Shen thought about it and gave an unexpected answer.
"The Grand Slam throughout the year, the Spring and Summer League Championships, the MSI Championship, the Olympic Championship, and if I add a World Championship, all the honors I can get this year will be complete."
Yuan Shen shrugged, and the audience began to talk about it.
A full year Grand Slam, this achievement is really hard to get.
Originally in history, there were four teams that had the opportunity to achieve this achievement, and SKT had two chances.
Unfortunately, all of them were just one step behind.
The first team was SKT in 2015. They were the champions of the spring and summer leagues and the world championship, but unfortunately lost to EDG in MSI and finished second.
In 2016, SKT won the Spring Championship, MSI Championship, and World Championship, but unfortunately lacked a Summer Championship. The Summer Championship at that time was won by ROX Tiger.
The second team is RNG in 2018, the champion of the spring and summer leagues and the MSI champion, but was eliminated by G2 in the quarterfinals of the world championship, which was a big gap.
The third team is G2019 in 2, the champion of the spring and summer leagues, the MSI champion, and lost to FPX in the world championship and finished second.
The fourth team is JDG in 2023. They also won the spring and summer league championships, the MSI championship, but lost to SKT in the world championship and stopped in the semi-finals.
All in all, SKT and G2 are the closest to this achievement, while JDG and RNG are quite far behind.
"A full-year Grand Slam! What an exciting and aspirational goal! The last question is, YuanShen has been playing very stably this season. No matter what kind of opponent he faces, he can always perform very well. I would like to ask, how do you maintain this competitive state? Do you have any secrets you can share with us?"
Yuan Shen scratched his head, not knowing how to answer.
Doesn't that mean that I was reborn and still have a system on me?
Even if he said that, the commentator and all the audience would just think he was joking.
These days, no one believes the truth.
"Actually, it all depends on personal talent and daily living habits. Maintaining training and a positive attitude are the most important things."
Everyone in IG looked at Yuan Shen, who was boasting seriously, and laughed unkindly.
Although they also knew that Yuan Shen was telling the truth, his personal talent was definitely unmatched by others.
But now is the interview stage after all, we should at least give some face to the host and alliance players.
But he had never thought about doing so, and never considered whether it would offend anyone.
But I have to say that Yuan Shen's operation was really cool.
Yu Shuang just felt a headache now. It was said that Yuan Shen and the factory manager were the two biggest talkers in the league. All kinds of jokes during the interview came from the two of them.
Yu Shuang didn't believe it at first, but today, hearing about them is worse than meeting them in person. Just a simple interview after the game made him feel the charm of the league's two biggest talkers.
The interview ended quickly, and amid the cheers of the audience, the IG team returned to the lounge.
"Tonight is the celebration party. Everyone, eat, drink and rest well. The championship prize money will be transferred to your bank cards within three days. Please check it carefully!"
Su Xiaoluo said with a smile.
The celebration party after winning the championship was something that was expected.
With the fans' warm farewell, the IG members left the finals stage. During the process, Yuan Shen took photos with and hugged several fans...well, they were all male fans.
After taking the bus back to the base, everyone changed their clothes and chatted and laughed in the living room.
Just then, Rookie1 and a sweet-looking girl walked in.
"Hey, hey, isn't this my sister-in-law?"
Jack was the first to start booing.
"Hey! They say you are Xiaoyu and he is Xiaoyu. I don't know which one Rookie is calling when he is asleep in the middle of the night."
Because Rookie is the oldest in the team, Xiao Ming and the others call her sister-in-law.
As a newcomer in LPL, Xiaoyu was still a little nervous facing these players who have already achieved success.
However, Xiao Ming and Jack both have good personalities, and TheShy is a shy boy, so Xiaoyu quickly became familiar with everyone in IG.
"Hello! I have invited a few friends to the celebration party. I hope I won't disturb you?"
"No, your friend, your bestie? Do we know each other?"
Jack tossed his hair and smiled confidently.
"Minors, get out of here!!"
Shekeke came straight up to him.
The more people at the celebration party, the better.
Principal Wang doesn't need this little money anyway.
Moreover, many LPL official hosts and commentators will be invited to every celebration banquet.
Soon, the time came.
The group went directly to the hotel booked by the club.
It can be seen that a lot of money was spent on this meal. A large table of delicious food was ordered. In addition to the players and coaches, club staff, such as security guards, aunts, nannies, etc., were also invited.
A master of ceremonies was invited to the stage to host various entertainment activities.
Yuan Shen was not interested in these.
After the celebration banquet, Yuan Shen returned to the base, took a shower, and lay on the bed to open the Anti-Pressure Bar, Hupu and other forums where players gathered.
As expected, IG's championship today and his plan to win the annual Grand Slam became a hot topic.
There are countless posts discussing this, some saying that Yuan Shen is too proud, and that pride leads to failure.
Some people say that the young people are full of vigor and that IG has indeed achieved very good results.
But more of the discussion is about who will own the remaining S-League ticket.
IG won the summer championship and naturally became the number one seed of LPL.
This is the competition system that was changed this year, and Yuan Shen thinks it is very reasonable.
The champion of the summer season is naturally the team that is most suitable for the world championship version.
If we really follow the previous competition system, the summer season champion will not be able to enter the world competition.
For example, PE of LPL and KTA of OGN League.
EDG also surpassed RNG's 400 points with 360 points, becoming the second seed of LPL with the highest points throughout the year.
As for RNG, they will compete with WE, Snake Team, and NB for the third seed.
First, NB and Snake play BO5, the winner will play BO5 with WE, and the winner will play BO5 with RNG to decide the third seed.
The bubble match schedule lasts for three days.
The situation of two BO5 games in one day will no longer occur.
However, due to the competition system, if the winner between NB and Snake can defeat WE, there will be BO5 matches for three consecutive days.
However, for LPL, this is no longer a problem.
During the regular season, teams often play three BO3 games in three consecutive days.
IG still has one month of rest time.
Before S6 officially starts, they have no games to play and just need to prepare for the competition with all their strength.
There will be no competition until September 26th.
But for the LPL teams, it is not so comfortable.
The summer finals ended, and the bubble match began the next day.
Yuan Shen didn't pay too much attention to it and relaxed for two days.
The result of the game was clear to see, and as expected, WE successfully advanced to the final round.
Originally in history, WE also reached the final round, and their opponent was IM team.
With the first four games tied at 2-2, they were about to take IM's high ground in the last game, but AJ's Titan came from behind and started a team fight, sending them back home.
IM also became the first team in LPL and even the world to successfully achieve a triple jump achievement.
Now, WE has reached the final round again.
But their opponent is RNG, which is stronger than in history and defeated EDG.
There was no suspense about the result of the game.
Three to one, RNG swept WE.
The climbing combination caused a lot of trouble for WE's mid and jungle.
Even with the help of Homme's BP, they were unable to target the mid-jungle coordination between Xiangguo and Xiaohu.
At this point, all three LPL teams participating in the S game have been confirmed!
"6 to !! Congratulations to RNG for defeating WE and successfully getting the last ticket to the S World Championship!!"
Miller's voice is loud and clear. This year's World Championship, LPL is ready!
After the influence of last year's championship, this year's MSI and Olympics made LPL viewers more certain of one thing.
LPL is now the number one league!
Today's LPL audience is more inflated than in S5, and they don't have the inferiority and lack of confidence like in S6 in history.
The high momentum also affected the commentators.
"Hurry up, get ready to go on stage!"
Yuan Shen straightened his clothes and walked out with the IG members.
Different from the Blue and White Porcelain series of battle robes in S5, this year's battle robes carry China's unique dragon culture.
It has a bright red background, with the LPL professional league logo printed on the left chest and a golden dragon embroidered on the right.
However, after wearing last year's Black Dragon battle robe, Yuan Shen always felt that this year's battle robe was a bit perfunctory and not as beautiful as last year's Blue and White Porcelain series.
The battle uniforms of IG players are all very well-fitting.
The same is true for EDG.
only……
When seeing the RNG players wearing their battle uniforms, even Yuan Shen felt it was a bit eye-catching.
Their battle uniforms have their ID numbers embroidered on the back.
RNG's battle jersey looked like a sign that was sewn on temporarily.
It is obvious that the LPL officials did not make much preparation.
If WE wins, then the IDs of the five WE players will be embroidered.
If RNG wins, the IDs of the five RNG players will naturally be embroidered.
However, in this way, it is impossible to take into account both fit and not fit.
All battle uniforms are one size fits all.
Xiang Guo looks like a bathrobe wrapped in bean sprouts, and Uzi...
"Is the puppy angry because of the beating? Why is his face so blue?"
"Don't talk nonsense. That's the red fever caused by excessive secretion of adrenaline. Look, it's red with purple, and purple with black..."
Xiao Ming and Jack were whispering to each other, and Yuan Shen almost laughed out loud when he heard them.
"It's obviously because the clothes are too tight..."
"Okay, stop talking. Can't you see that the host can't even keep up the flow?"
Rookie coughed and whispered.
At this time, the host's deep voice reached every corner of the venue.
"The wind is high and the clouds are wide in autumn, and the iron cavalry and golden swords are on the stage! The heroes are high in the crown and sword, and they are preparing for war. They study hard and study like dragons, and fight against the enemy on the battlefield with high spirits... The iron cavalry and the spirit swallowing thousands of miles are like tigers. The heroes are not afraid of the high mountains. They work together and carry on the ambitions of the humble..."
The host's voice sounded, and the passionate BGM in the venue and the shouts of countless fans off the stage gathered together.
"Today is our LPL's departure ceremony! The three teams representing our LPL will board a plane to San Francisco, USA today and begin their legendary journey to the World Championship!"
Team number one, Invictus Gaming!!!
Team number two, EDward Gaming!!!
Team number three, Royal Never Give Up!!!
At the edge of the stage, dry ice spray rose up, and the venue burst into applause! In the forum and live broadcast room, the audience had already burst into laughter and made jokes.
LPL three consecutive championships, MSI champions, S5 world champion team, IG, stand out! !
LPL three consecutive championships, MSI champions, EDG, out! !
LPL... no championship, MSI... never entered, S3, S4 world championship double runner-up team, RYL's successor, RNG, step down! !
LPL has a total of eight league championships so far, and IG and EDG have won six of them.
The remaining two are S3 Spring Champion OMG and S3 Summer Champion PE.
With the host's enthusiastic cheers, all fifteen LPL players made their debut. At this moment, the stage belonged to the three LPL teams! !
At this moment, everyone's eyes became unusually determined!
The desire for the championship and the persistence in the dream that you have always pursued!
The number of barrage comments in major live broadcast rooms has skyrocketed, with countless barrage comments flooding the screen.
"LPL come on!"
The five big characters seemed to be flooding the screen, like a deep-sea beast, like a dragon soaring and a tiger leaping, domineeringly filling all platforms.
It has to be said that in this era of everyone's expansion, LPL audiences are unprecedentedly confident and full of momentum.
……
"Just as you expected..."
Fumanduo looked at Yuan Shen with amazement, and Rookie even made an expression that said "Wow Yuan, you're a genius."
In the last round of the LCK bubble match that just ended, SSG defeated KT 6- and successfully got the last ticket to LCK, and will participate in the S World Championship as the third seed of LCK.
The three participating teams of LCK have also been officially confirmed.
ROX, SKT, SSG.
And this result was exactly what Yuan Shen expected.
Yuan Shen had told them about this as early as the beginning of the spring season, when S6 had just been revised.
There are only three opponents that LCK needs to pay attention to.
SKT, ROX, and...
SSG.
"It's not a big problem. If we want to win the championship, these three teams are the hurdles we must overcome. However, if SKT is the second seed, we may face them in the group stage."
Yuan Shen shrugged and said that the LCK in S6 could be said to be a fight between gods.
But the gap between these three teams is really not that big.
Many people's attention was focused on ROX, which played a full five games with SKT, in a semi-final battle that was known as the peak BO5.
But few people noticed that the Samsung team SSG, which was reorganized after winning the S4 World Championship, won the runner-up in the S5 World Championship for the first time after a whole year of dormancy in S6.
Moreover, they also played five full games against SKT!
Even in S7, the original team swept the number one seed Longzhu 9-1 in the quarterfinals, defeated SKT 7- in the final, and won the S championship with an invincible record of - in the knockout stage.
Yuan Shen has never underestimated the SSG team.
As time goes by, the number of participants in each major competition area is gradually being determined.
On September 9, SSG defeated KT 3 to .
On September 9, FNC was swept 4- by UOL, and the next day, UOL was defeated by SPY.
This S1 champion team not only lost its status as the champion of the European League, but also missed the World Championship for the first time.
It was not until September 9 that the list of participating teams from each major region in the World Championship was officially confirmed.
Sixteen teams are ready to go.
The group draw rules for this World Championship have not changed significantly from the previous two years, and must still follow the principle of avoiding the same division and the principle of avoiding the No. 1 seeds from the four major divisions.
Because the European region failed to qualify from the group stage at MSI, the No. 1 seed pool spot was obtained by the LMS region that reached the semi-finals.
"After a whole year of competition, the teams for the global finals from the five major regions and the wildcard camp have all been determined. Now let us get to know these familiar yet unfamiliar champions from each major region!"
As the host finished speaking, one team icon after another appeared in front of the audience.
"First up... the first seed G2, second seed H2K, and third seed SPY from the EU LCS region!!"
Every time the host reads out the name of a team with great momentum, the live broadcast will show their highlight moments and recent highlights.
Europe, North America, Taiwan, wild cards...
When the host read out the number one seed of LCK, what appeared on the big screen was the LCK Summer Finals. Smeb changed his fate by using his ultimate to kill the Baron with two blood, leading the team to complete a rare comeback in this version. The five ROX players hugged each other and cried.
Smeb is...
Yuan Shen felt a little emotional.
After two years of hard work, Smeb has now truly grown into the No. 1 top laner in LCK, and is even ranked among the top three in the world.
Song Jinghao reached his personal peak.
Originally in history, TheShy met Smeb in S8.
At that time, Smeb had passed his prime and was suppressed by TheShy.
And now, TheShy, who has no hand injury, meets Smeb who is at his peak.
"Seung-rok, when we face ROX, the rhythm of our top and jungle is very important."
Yuan Shen raised his eyebrows and looked at TheShy, while TheShy held the watermelon and made an "OK" gesture without looking back.
"From the LPL region, the number one seed IG!!!"
The last division to appear is the first division recognized by all players today.
LPL!
In the screen, scenes of IG defeating RNG to win the championship at the Guangzhou Baoneng International Sports and Performing Arts Center flashed one by one, and the scene of IG holding up the Silver Dragon Cup was frozen in the center of the big screen for a full three seconds!
"Brother Yuan, the cards are on display."
Jack looked back at the replica of the Silver Dragon Cup on the display case, his eyes filled with emotion.
IG has three more replicas like this.
It's all related to him!
Only a year and a half after his debut, he won three LPL league championships and achieved the Grand Slam achievement.
This speed cannot be said to be unparalleled, but it is indeed unprecedented.
Even Yuan Shen debuted seven months earlier than him.
"We're going to draw lots. I hope we won't be given a team that's too strong."
Rookie scratched his head. He was the type that was slow to warm up, and he needed to get familiar with the environment after arriving in North America.
For Yuan Shen and Jack, this is not their first trip to North America.
The S5 All-Star Game was held in Los Angeles.
"In the past year and a half, we have traveled to four European countries, the United States, and Brazil for the Olympics. Except for Australia and Africa, we have traveled to all five continents. It's quite tiring just thinking about it."
As soon as Jack finished speaking, Xiao Ming rolled his eyes.
"How many people want to go but don't have the chance, and yet you still give up on it."
"If we are the No. 1 seed, we will avoid ROX, FW and TSM. It seems that we will not meet Kakao."
A picture appeared on the big screen in the live broadcast room, and the host was also explaining it.
"According to the results of the 2016 MSI Mid-Season Championship, the regions that received the No. seed pool are the regions where the teams that made it to the semi-finals of the Mid-Season Championship are located. They are LPL, North America LCS, LCK, and LMS regions!"
"The teams in the first seed pool are IG, ROX, TSM and FW!"
"Each of the four groups in the World Championship will have a team from the first seed pool. They will not meet before the knockout stage. This is a compliment and encouragement to their regions for their achievements in the MSI Mid-Season Tournament in the first half of the year!"
"And the second and third seeds from LPL and LCK, the first and second seeds from the European region, and the second seeds from North America and LMS will be included in the second seed pool, a total of eight teams!"
"They will draw lots based on the principle of avoiding teams from the same division, and each group will be assigned two teams from the second seed pool!"
"The remaining teams from Brazil and the CIS external card zone, as well as the third seeds from the European and American regions, will get the last spot in each group!"
As soon as the host finished speaking, four old acquaintances appeared in the center of the screen.
"Turtle, the king has gone to draw lots!"
"Last year it was No State, this year it's Smile, it doesn't matter how you choose the people."
Zizi and Jack leaned back in their gaming chairs, looks of confusion on their faces.
"Don't worry, I recommend you to go now that you have retired."
Yuan Shen complained.
If I remember correctly, the guests drawn for S7 were Uzi and Zzitai.
But at that time, Zizi had already joined the Snake Team.
In addition to Smile, the other person responsible for drawing the lots was Cpt Jack, who was wronged by Faker's Alistar.
Besides them, there are Scarra and Mistake.
Scarra is a former North American professional player and former CLG coach.
Mistake is the world champion support of S2, captain of TPA King's Team, and owner of Nunu's championship skin.
Cpt Jack got down from his chair and walked forward to the glass box with four colored balls inside. He reached in and stirred them slowly.
The team he was responsible for drawing was from the No. 1 seed pool, so the impact was not that big.
But it is related to which group IG will be assigned to and the subsequent schedule.
If it is Group D, there will be a bye on the first day of the group stage, and the qualifying spots will be finalized on the last day of the second round.
IG will also have a few days less time to prepare for the knockout stage.
It’s not a big problem, but if you want to win the championship, every detail must be done to the best.
"When we won the championship last year, we were in Group D. If we are still in Group D this year, it would be a bit mysterious."
"I hope it's Group A. The sooner we finish, the easier it will be."
After Yuan Shen finished speaking, Captain Jack had already taken out a black ball, opened it and took a look at it, then showed the ribbon to the camera.
On top of the gray ribbon is IG’s unique black and white team logo!
“Invictus Gaming!!!”
Accompanied by the host's shouts and the enthusiastic cheers of the audience, Yuan Shen touched his nose somewhat awkwardly.
Originally, LPL's No. 1 seed EDG was assigned to Group C, and the No. 1 seed pool team in Group A should have been LCK's ROX.
I didn’t expect IG to show up here directly this time.
This also means that, in addition to version changes, what was originally going to happen in his memory may no longer happen.
Every day is new...
"Turtle, it really is Group A!!"
"Whatever the words of Yuan Shen say, we will definitely win the World Championship this time!!"
As Captain Jack pulled the teams out of the No. 1 seed pool one by one, the first row on the group table was also filled up.
The No. 1 seed in Group B, ROX Tiger, ROX!
The No. 1 seed in Group C, Flash Wolves, FW!
The No. 1 seed in Group D, TeamSoloMid, TSM!
The four teams in the No. 1 seed pool have been allocated, and what awaits them next will be challengers from other regions.
Yuan Shen took a look and couldn't help but pray for the factory director.
If we meet ROX in the group stage, it might be a good thing.
After all, there are only two games left, so it is still difficult to achieve a score of 4396.
At best, Lee Sin can't beat Olaf, and Olaf can't beat Lee Sin.
She walked forward with a smile, opened the colored ball and pulled out a green ribbon.
The first letter that appeared was "S".
The faces of the IG members changed instantly, and Yuan Shen also raised his eyebrows.
Aren’t the teams starting with S SKT and SSG?
SPY is in the third seed pool and it is impossible for it to appear now.
As the smile slowly unfolded, the audience watching the live broadcast also relaxed.
"SSG, Samsung, that scared me."
"That's right. Although we have a good chance of winning against SKT, I still think it's a good thing to be able to hide our moves."
"Samsung can, Samsung can."
The audience in the live broadcast room were talking about it, and Yuan Shen looked at Rookie.
"Old Song, revenge for KT?"
"Forget it, I'm really unfamiliar with you..."
Rookie scratched his head. Of the five members of SSG, he only knew the jungler An Zhanmen. The others were all newcomers who debuted in the past two years.
"Chidi, just kill him and that's it!"
Jack, who had played against him in the Olympics, was full of confidence.
The remaining teams gradually appeared.
RNG was drawn into Group B and will face ROX.
EDG was drawn into Group C and will face FW.
The fourth draw went to G2, and their opponent was the No. seed in North America, TSM.
"The familiar European-American battle. I don't know how Ah P is going to ridicule this time."
Yuan Shen breathed a sigh of relief and leaned back in his chair. He had just taken a sip of water when he saw Wei Xiao take out a ribbon.
Slowly unfold.
The first letter is still "S".
"puff."
The comments in the live broadcast room instantly exploded!
Yuan Shen kept apologizing as he looked at TheShy who was sprayed with water by him.
"It's slippery, it's slippery, you have to avoid it!"
Su Xiaoluo shouted loudly and couldn't help but run to the big screen to see it more carefully.
But he wasn't careful and stepped on the water on the ground, and fell flat on his butt.
"Ouch, my butt!!"
No one cared about Su Xiaoluo's life or death. Yuan Shen was handing a towel to TheShy, and the IG team watched SKT's team logo slide from third place in Group A to third place in Group B, and then to third place in Group C.
Because of the group avoidance principle of the same division, SKT, SSG and ROX will not meet in the group stage.
And this way...
"Factory Director, oh factory director, you can avoid the first day, but you can't avoid the fifteenth day!!"
"It's so slippery!"
"EDG fainted in the toilet crying. They thought it was a great game against FW, but in the end they still couldn't avoid SKT's sanctions."
"The King's revenge on EDG is to send Abu and Zweichang to SKT!"
"Are those three groups all civil wars between China and South Korea? There's a lot to be won in this world competition!"
"It's so exciting! This lottery draw makes my blood boil."
All six Chinese and Korean teams appeared, and the IG players lost interest in paying attention.
The last few teams were also drawn out.
Group A: IG, SSG, H2K, ANX.
Group B: ROX, RNG, CLG, SPY.
Group C: FW, EDG, SKT, C9.
Group D, TSM, G2, AHQ, INTZ.
"They are all masters..."
Yuan Shen sighed.
"SSG and we should be the first and second in the group and advance. Yue Lun and the wild card are not worth mentioning."
"Old Song, isn't Yue Lun your senior? They are both mid laners of KTA. What do you mean?"
Yuan Shen looked towards Rookie, pretending not to notice TheShy standing beside him with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Just play normally. I'm more interested in SSG's mid laner Crown than him."
"With a wild card, there's not much pressure, and I feel comfortable."
Jack stretched himself and was generally satisfied with the draw.
