I didn't choose randomly

"Champion, counting the champion of the S9 Spring Split, IG has already won four consecutive LPL championships, it's terrifying!"

"After the return of the S8 king, except for losing to MSI once, IG has never lost any honor."

"A proper champion harvester, especially after coach Yun Ge came, IG has won all the championships it can win."

"IG's record can not only be summed up by the championship, their record is also invincible."

"Dynasty, it can definitely be called a dynasty. If IG can win the championship of this World Championship and complete the achievement of three consecutive World Championships, it will be the most legendary dynasty in history."

"IG, let's go to the legendary dynasty!"

After IG won TES, the public opinion on the Internet has already boiled. Since this World Championship is held in China, the audience is very concerned about it.

Generally speaking, IG is still the biggest favorite to win the championship. Even in the LCK division next door, facing the current unparalleled record of IG, they have to make a detour and dare not go head-to-head with IG.

After the finals, Yun Ge gave the players a short rest for a few days, and did not arrange training tasks, but took them to watch the LPL bubbling match together.

S10 has a total of four places for the World Championship, and now IG and TES have occupied two, and the remaining two places have to be selected among the four teams.

The teams participating in the bubbling match were JDG, SN, LGD and FPX. Except for V5, the top six in the regular season, all the other teams entered the bubbling match.

Due to the poor record of the V5 spring split, there were no points at all, and the summer split failed to reach the second round, so the place was taken away by FPX, the semi-finalist of the spring split.

However, the situation of FPX is not optimistic. The probability of qualifying is very low. First, the state of FPX Summer Split itself is not very good, and the whole team is full of various problems.

And FPX is in the loser's bracket of the bubbling match, that is, they have to win two rounds of BO5 in a row to get a place in the World Championship. This is really too difficult for FPX.

The two teams in the winner's group are JDG and SN who were eliminated in the semi-finals. The winner of the winner's group can directly get tickets to the World Championship and is the third seed of LPL.

The losing team needs to wait for the loser's bracket game. After FPX and LGD decide the winner, they still need to play a game to determine the third seed of the LPL World Championship.

Like the semi-finals of the previous summer split, facing JDG, SN, with a very simple tactical system, was beaten [-]-[-] again. JDG easily advanced to the World Championship, demonstrating its own strength.

Although they lost to TES in the semi-finals, JDG proved with their strength that they are still the top team in LPL, and there is a very big gap with the following teams.

The game in the loser group was not particularly anxious. LGD easily won FPX and kicked Little Phoenix, who performed very well last year, out of the World Championship.

The two bubbling matches were played very neatly, but when the final ticket was decided, SN and LGD played very anxiously.

The two dark horses in the summer split fought to the death for the last ticket to the World Championship. LGD, as a newly formed team in the summer split, has not actually established a tactical system.

But LGD's players are all veterans, and players with rich financial resources are better for this. Their tactical adaptability is very strong, and they know how to cooperate with their teammates in hero games.

Therefore, it is better to adapt to an unfamiliar team. On the contrary, LGD played more as a team than SN, which had been formed for a whole year, but it was a pity that SN had the last laugh.

In the final bubbling match, SN's Ueno seemed to have awakened. Bin and Sofm played like two different players. In the entire series, Bin broke through the top lane of Lang Xing.

And Sofm also withstood Peanut's pressure in the wild area, providing Mr. Da'an with a stage to play in the middle and late stages. Relying on the strong upper middle field, SN won the game.

The young players finally won the tickets to the World Championships. LGD's veteran players played a good game in the summer split, but they finally fell at the gate of the World Championships.

So far, the four LPL World Championship teams have all been determined, the No. [-] seed IG team, the No. [-] seed TES team, the No. [-] seed JDG team, and the No. [-] seed SN team, of which SN needs to participate in the finalists.

With SN's strength, they should not be able to stop them in the play-in competition. The LPL audience is very optimistic about this, although SN's players are basically rookies who participated in the World Championship in the first year, except for the support snake.

But as the support of the former Flash Wolves, Snake's experience in the World Championships seems to be of no use, because the performance of the Flash Wolves in the World Championships is a mess.

Due to the tight schedule this year, the play-in competition has already started in only half a month. Since there is no need to go abroad, the LPL teams are very free.

Yunge doesn't need to make too much preparation in advance, as long as the player's feel and state are guaranteed, and IG doesn't need to play in the finals, and the schedule is actually not that tight.

At the beginning of the play-in competition, IG's places in the training match were very sought-after. Regardless of whether they had the strength to compete for the championship, it was mainly the teams participating in the World Championship, and there was no one who didn't want to play against IG.

Therefore, when the play-in competition was in full swing, IG's training match was also arranged very tightly, and now there was only a finishing touch left. Yunge arranged a lot of opponents for the training match for the IG players.

Basically, there are two BO5 games a day, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The schedule is more intense than usual. However, due to the uneven strength of the team, the IG players did not feel tired.

On the contrary, they feel that their opponents are not very good, especially the opponents in the finalists. When facing IG, they have no chance of winning at all.

Ah Shui couldn't help complaining to coach Yun Ge, saying that the opponent in the training match was too weak, it's better to go to the ranking, but Yun Ge didn't listen to Ah Shui's suggestion, and was still competing with the opponent in the play-in match.

But for an opponent who is too weak, Yunge won't be able to make arrangements if he fights once. If he fights too much, it will affect the status of the IG players.

Yunge arranged the teams for the play-in competition just to let the IG players experience the intensity of the current version of the competition. After all, only the teams that have played the competition can feel the intensity of the competition.

Teams that only play in training games don't have this feeling. It is also a good thing for IG to play against teams that can play in games.

But Yunge had to control a certain measure. If there was too much abuse and IG players drifted away, the loss would not be worth the loss. Fortunately, Yunge was very vigilant about this, and soon played training matches with some strong teams.

The play-in competition was over within a week, and the teams from the four major regions were still able to control the Raiden. TL and SN successfully broke through and advanced to the main match of the World Championship with the first place in the group.

After some fighting, PSG and UOL, two familiar faces in the World Championship, also successfully entered the main match. So far, all the teams in the World Championship have been assigned.

IG, as the No. 2 seed of LPL, was drawn last and assigned to Group D, while the No. [-] seeds of the other groups were Group A G[-], Group B DWG, and Group C TSM.

According to the principle of avoidance in the same competition area, other teams and teams that came up from the play-in competition came to each group respectively.

Group A: G2, JDG, TL, MCl.

Group B: DWG, TES, PSG, REG.

Group C: TSM, SN, FNC, GEN.

Group D: IG, DRX, FLY, UOL.

The four major teams of the LPL are all in a good group qualifying situation. Among them, the No. [-] seed IG and the No. [-] seed TES are basically stable.

Except for one LCK team that is a strong opponent in the group, the other two wild card teams are not too much threat at all.

Secondly, JDG is the best to qualify. G2 and TL in Group A are considered old-fashioned strong teams. JDG needs to compete for a place in the hands of their two teams.

With the stability of JDG and the sophistication of the Redmi coach, it should not be a big problem for JDG to advance to the group stage. The top three seeds of LPL are not bad in qualifying, and the final result is just a matter of qualifying for the first and second. The probability is very small.

On the contrary, the situation of SN is a bit difficult. Group C can be regarded as a group of death. After all, this group has gathered teams from the four major regions, and there is no wild card spot.

The big brother TSM in North America, the veteran giants in Europe, the world champion of S1, the second seed FNC in Europe, the third seed in LCK, the world champion Samsung GEN in S7, and the fourth seed in LPL, the dark horse SN in the summer split.

If we only look at the strength on paper, the four teams are really close to each other. It is impossible to judge who will be able to qualify in the end. All four teams have the possibility of qualifying.

Group C is also the focus of the group stage. Who can qualify will have a great impact on the subsequent knockout rounds. Some people even ridiculed on the Internet that the outcome of Group C may be related to the ranking of the four major regions.

The group match in Group C is a battle of honor, and whoever loses will not look good. Don't look at the previous playoffs, the LPL audience showed a dismissive attitude towards SN.

But when it came to the World Championships, the audience began to have great hopes for SN again. Although they were only the fourth seed, they hoped that SN could play the momentum of LPL.

If the No. [-] seed of the LPL can overwhelm the top-seeded teams in other divisions, doesn't that mean that the LPL is the first division.

But the audience did not expect that SN, who had just arrived at the World Championship, was assigned to the death group, and how much psychological pressure they had to bear.

But in the face of the honor of foreign wars, the LPL audience doesn't care about these things. As long as they play well, they will blow their hearts out, and if they don't play well, they will be ready to be sprayed.

Even IG is the same, don't look at the fact that IG is now the favorite of the champion and is very much sought after, but once IG loses, what awaits IG is a situation where everyone will blame it.

At this time, IG has been forced to go to Liangshan. Even if they get the runner-up, they will be slammed by the LPL audience. Knowing this, as the match day approaches, Yunge is a little nervous.

When leading IG to the World Championships last year, Yun Ge didn't feel the nervousness he has now, but after leading IG for a whole year, he was a little worried about gains and losses.

Because of losing the half-month match, IG's previous year's hard work will be in vain, not to mention that Yunge has specially made a guarantee that he must win this world championship and help IG win three consecutive championships.

On the contrary, the mentality of the IG players is very relaxed, especially Ah Shui, who has a big heart. He can't wait to play the game now, and the training match has no way to satisfy their appetite.

In fact, the IG players have also faintly noticed some things. For example, during the official game, their feel and state are much better than usual.

During the official competition, the mind is clear and the operation is flexible, which is the feeling that no matter how you play, but once the game is over, there is no way to play this effect.

IG players will never forget this feeling of brain overclocking, so after half a month without a formal game, they can't wait to play two rounds.

And the tournament party is also giving IG a lot of face. After all, it is last year's defending champion and this year's LPL's No. [-] seed. As the organizer, LPL must of course give IG a face and let IG open directly.

Group D started the first round of the group stage, and as the opponent of IG's opening match, the FLY team is a newcomer to the World Championship and the second seed in North America. With the strength of IG, it is not a big problem to get a good start.

In order to get off to a good start, the focus of Group D was not arranged. The duel between IG and LCK's second seed DRX, the good show is always left behind.

As the opening match, the Yunge and IG players were very depressed, because they had to wait in the venue in advance, and the most tormenting thing was to watch the extremely boring opening ceremony.

If it is the audience in the live broadcast room, it is fine to watch the excitement on the stage, but the players who are about to play, waiting for so long to play the game, undoubtedly consumed a lot of enthusiasm of the players.

Fortunately, IG's players are not stage-frightened. As the overlord of the World Championships in the past two years, IG has demonstrated its dominance as soon as it came up.

During the previous training match, Yunge didn't arrange for the opponents in the group to train with IG. They wanted to find out about IG through the training match, but Yunge was very steady and didn't give it a chance.

Therefore, the FLY team didn't know the depth of IG at all, and actually released IG's most proficient male gun system.

In 8 minutes, after the opponent was wiped out in a wave in the middle, the three shooters of IG pushed the tower very fast. Before the five FLY players were resurrected from the spring, they successfully demolished the opponent's base.

After watching the entire game, the long-awaited audience in the live broadcast room finally felt relieved. Seeing that IG's strikes were still so heavy, the LPL audience felt relieved.

"That's right! This is IG, and the opening match ended in 8 minutes."

"One thing to say, it's a bit hard to start. This is the second seed in North America. The base is gone in 8 minutes."

"Gah, after waiting for so long and watching the opening ceremony for so long, the game is over so quickly?"

"Hahahaha, the classic opener is faster than the opening ceremony."

"Indeed, the opening ceremony is stinky and long. Who likes to watch this?"

"IG: The opening ceremony is too long, so let's get off work quickly."

"I haven't even taken off my pants, IG is over?"

"No way, buddy, can you rush while watching the game?"

"Good guy, people can't, at least they shouldn't!"

"It's outrageous, the players are playing games on the top, and the buddies are playing airplanes below, right?"
