Alliance: My Qinggang Shadow made my alma mater famous

Chapter 405 [The group of death! 】

After the departure ceremony.

The photographer also came to the stage and took pictures of the contestants one by one. The atmosphere was very lively.

In the LPL, everyone is a competitive relationship.

But after arriving on the stage of the World Championships, the LPL unanimously spoke out, and the players were also cheering for each other.

IG, who got the third seed, is different from YM and RNG. They will have the opportunity to officially advance to the S10 World Championship group stage after the selection of the finalists in early October.

Defeating EDG is just the beginning for them, and the real challenge is yet to come.

However, judging from the situation of the annual finalists, IG still has great hopes of advancing.

Rookie and Ah Shui also seemed very confident. They spoke directly on the spot and joined forces with their brothers in Busan after finishing the play-in round.

After taking a photo of the three of them with Letme and Zizi, Su Chen returned to his teammates, only to find that Xiaotian and his left hand had already taken off the Conqueror.

"Why did you take off your clothes? Weren't you very excited when you first got it?" Su Chen asked.

With a dark face, Suantou took out his mobile phone and found a photo of the scene just released on Weibo Chaohua.

Su Chen took a closer look and immediately understood the reason.

The S8's Conquest is a long hooded windbreaker design. Although the size is customized according to the player's size, the proportion is really a bit problematic.

Zuo Shou and Xiao Tian, ​​who are just over 1.7 meters tall, put on Conquer, and the hem of the clothes almost reached the ankles, which made them look very short.

Zhang Xiaowen and Gala are also in a similar situation.

Moreover, there was also a problem with the angle of the audience taking pictures. When it was posted on the Internet, many people were already discussing the height of Xiaotian and his left hand, which was estimated to be just over 1.6 meters, and various black pictures and memes had already started to appear on the screen.

[YM why is there a bunch of yordles, let’s let this get in the way hahahaha]

[No wonder the main shot is for Jiang Shen, he is only 1.8 meters tall and can hold this style, and other shorter ones make his legs look too short]

[I feel that the relationship between the three teams this year is quite good. I saw that the puppy was taking pictures with YM people, and he was beaten to tears just a few days ago...]

[This year should be the strongest year for LPL, I hope it can come true! 】

……

After the expedition ceremony is over.

In the live broadcast room of the Fighting Shark competition, Wawa, Miller, and Guan Zeyuan also popularized the situation of other major competition areas on the spot.

The three teams in the LCK World Championship this year, ranked from the No. [-] seed, are KT, GneG and the African team Afs.

SKT, which has entered the World Championship three times in the past three years, will not make another appearance this year.

"S8 without Faker, I really don't feel used to it, but this year's LCK is also very strong." Wawa said seriously.

After a whole spring, KT rose strongly in the summer split and advanced to the playoffs as the No. [-] in the regular season. Finally, they eliminated the spring champion Samsung GenG [-]-[-] in the final and won the summer split.

According to the LCK, this year's KT team has brought together the glory of the past few years in the competition area, and it is also the most anticipated team in recent years.

The top laner has Smeb and Marin, the top three singles in LCK history, the middle lane is the champion mid laner of S4 Samsung White, and the conscience of LPL is Pawn.

The jungler is KT night watchman Score, he is currently the only jungler in the LCK who has achieved [-] kills.

The bottom lane Deft and Mata are also historical players in their respective positions.

In addition, they defeated Samsung with a crushing posture in the final, which further highlights the strength of this KT team.

"The team style of KT is actually a bit like the SKT team in S5. They have a strong dominance on the wing, and we often see them playing four-one-point tie games." Miller said.

In the other three divisions, the LMS side is still the Flash Wolves. They won all [-] games in the summer split. They defeated MAD in three finals and won the No. [-] seed, setting a record of six consecutive championships in the division.

However, due to the overall decline of the LMS in the past few years, many people think that they have benefited from the dividends of the times. The overall strength of the current division is not necessarily better than that of wild card divisions such as Brazil and Vietnam.

The No. [-] seed in North America is still the TSM team. Although the double-god fetters of Bilson and the big brother were a bit out of order at MSI, they still work well after returning home.

In the semi-finals, the big brother had two MVPs in three rounds and beat his former club TL. Then in the final, Bilson took over the game, and Syndra taught the 100T mid laner Yue Lun with his forehand and backhand. He doubted his life on the spot.

TSM's vigorous performance also made the North American division full of confidence in this year's World Championship trip.

If you break out of the group stage and reach the quarterfinals, you will make history!
Lastly is Europe.

Like GenG, after returning from Berlin, G2 seemed to be under the curse of MSI. The results of the summer split repeatedly jumped, and even almost failed to make the playoffs at one point.

G2, the champion of the spring split, faced the fourth-ranked VIT in the first round of the playoffs. After winning two games first, Ah P took out Yasuo in the middle of the third game, and the result was 0-8. Super ghost results helped VIT to win a round successfully.

It is estimated that due to the influence of Ah P's work, all members of G2 played abnormally, and the game scene was called a riot in the ward.

But VIT quickly proved with their strength that it was not because they played well, but because G2 played too strangely.

In the final, FNC had three explosive kills, Caps had 29 kills in three rounds, Ou Cheng survived once, and VIT, who had two zero seals and one crushing fight, had no power to fight back. This scene directly makes people doubt whether G2 is Play fake match.

Fortunately, the mentality of the optimistic family in Europe has always been good. The boss directly stated on Twitter that if he fails to enter the World Championship, he will take all G2 members to run naked around the base.

Ah P also forwarded this tweet to show his determination.

In the end, G2 got the No. [-] seed status as they wished, and entered the finalists without any risk.

Under the premise that the wild card team is basically a World Tournament tour group.

The three LPL veterans also directly chatted about their chances of winning the World Championship this year.

"Let's first assume that IG can make it to the group stage. This shouldn't be unreasonable. As of this year, there is no precedent for the No. [-] seed from the four major regions to fail in the play-in stage." Guan Zeyuan opened his mouth and came, frightened. And Miller was in a cold sweat.

"Don't say it's steady progress, in other words, just say there is a chance, so we can feel a little more at ease." Miller laughed.

"Okay, okay," Guan Zeyuan said helplessly, "I made a lineup based on the version of the World Championship and the style of the team."

"Among the three teams in the LPL, YM's No. [-] seed status, basically everyone in the same group is steadily progressing. I am very relieved about this."

"RNG's No. [-] seed, I hope he can be assigned to FNC or TSM. The puppy is good at playing Ou Cheng and Big Brother, but it's better not to meet KT. I think the style is a bit restrained."

Wawa nodded in agreement: "KT's style is indeed more restrained from RNG, and it's best to avoid nature."

"It may be IG that is more difficult," Miller continued, "I still expect IG to be divided into groups other than KT. It would be great if the three LPL teams can join hands to reach the quarterfinals."

……

A few days after the expedition ceremony ended.

The topic of the World Championship is gradually heating up.

Due to the outstanding performance of LPL in the international arena throughout the year, the old players who retired because of the S7 defeat also returned one after another and joined the discussion of the World Championship.

In the e-sports Louvre "Anti-Bar", relevant posts are also being updated intensively.

[Pure passers-by, rationally discussing that if YM wins the championship this year, Jiang Keda should be the No.1 in LOL history, right?]

[History No. 1 has been blown away. Spring and summer + MSI + Asian Games + S crown is a one-year Grand Slam achievement. If Faker is not counted as S3, the combined honors of the past three years add up to two Grand Slams. Unless JKD In another year, the Grand Slam can barely catch up, but if he wins the S crown this year, the number one top laner in history should be stable]

[One crown and super horse head?I think it's at best an equal! 】

[They are all S crowns. If YM really wins it in 18, it will be a Grand Slam, and it will be five FMVPs a year. The S5 won by Ma Datou and Feike together, the gold content is definitely not as good as the single-core team led by Jiangke University]

[JKD is a single core? ?Do you think Xiaotian and Knight are dead? ? 】

[It seems that you also called the factory manager like this in 15, right?I don’t think it’s too early to say anything, it would be ridiculous if the Incheon LCK civil war ends up again]

……

On September 9th, the global finals draw ceremony.

In the YM base, everyone was sitting on the sofa in the living room, and Meng Ma moved the projector in.

PDD and Xiao Ma also rushed over, and the core personnel of the entire YM team gathered here. Twenty or so people crowded into one room, and the atmosphere was a little tense.

"Professor teacher, I heard that you went to Jing'an Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha yesterday?" In the silence, Su Chen suddenly said.

PDD who was drinking water almost choked, coughed a few times and said in embarrassment: "How do you know?"

Su Chen pointed at the pony, and there was a burst of wailing in the living room.

"Aren't I nervous?" PDD rubbed his head, "I used to always dream that one day my team would also be able to compete in the World Championships, but now that it has finally come true, I can't sleep."

"YM's popularity has been too high recently. I'm afraid that when the performance is not good, we will be criticized. If the entire top [-] is out of the round or something, we will be ridiculed by the LPL crowd for a year." PDD laughed.

"I remember EDG in 15 years. I was just watching the live broadcast. When they were defeated by FNC [-]-[-], I was torn apart." Xiaotian recalled on the sofa.

At that time, he hadn't entered the professional circle yet, and three years later, now he has embarked on the path of the factory manager, which is a bit embarrassing.

"It's not just 15 years, I remember that we were also in the top eight in 16. It seemed that the scolding was even worse in that year." Gala said.

"Actually, at the very beginning of S3, those of us didn't take the World Championships seriously, so we thought that maybe this year's luck was not good, and we will win next year," PDD said with emotion, "But these two years really feel that the World Championship The race took a lot of people out of their hearts."

"Failure year after year is really easy for people to lose confidence," PDD looked at Su Chen, "So the cruel words that Lao Su made on the night of Wukesong, although some people think it is crazy, but I still like it .”

"That's what I want!" He patted Su Chen's shoulder to show his affirmation.

Everyone sighed with emotion over the years of LPL, and soon, the draw ceremony for the global finals finally began.

Meng Ma also explained the rules of this year's lottery in advance.

The whole ceremony is divided into two parts, the finalists and the group stage.

The No. [-] and No. [-] seeds in the four major regions will directly advance to the group stage, so they will not participate in the draw for the finalists.

Meng Ma also omitted the explanation of this part.

The focus is on the group stage.

The entire group stage is divided into four groups, ABCD, with four teams in each group.

The No. [-] seed in the four major divisions, KT, YM, FNC, and FW each occupy a group.

The rest will be ranked from the second and third seeds according to the principle of avoidance in the same competition area.

In the group stage, teams from the same division will not be in the same group.

Soon, the draw ceremony officially began.

The lucky draw guest for this year's group stage is Flame, a Han country player known as the "big princess" who once played top laner in LGD in the S5 period.

Dressed handsomely, he came to the round basin of the No. 1 lottery pool, reached in and stirred it, then took out a ball, and carefully disassembled it.

Flame shows the note to the camera, with the name "Flash Wolf" written on it.

"Lightning Wolf is lucky, he hit the first shot." Xiao Tian laughed.

"Your words sound a bit weird." The left hand glanced at him inexplicably.

The rest of the people ignored the playfulness of the two, and all focused on watching the live broadcast.

In the first round of drawing lots, there was actually no suspense. Everyone just wanted to know which group YM would be in.

Flame continued to draw prizes, and the second ball he drew showed the team name of FNC after being spread out.

The third is KT, and YM was actually the last one to be drawn out, and they were assigned to Group D.

"This is the grand finale." Zhang Xiaowen smiled.

PDD didn't speak, he knew that the main event was next.

Flame walked to the side of the second prize pool, reached in, and quickly grabbed one. After spreading it out, it was the team name of RNG!
"What kind of shit luck is this for RNG?? Didn't they enter the quarter-finals lying down with the Lightning Wolves!?" Xiao Tian immediately started complaining when he saw it.

Among the four groups, Flash Wolves is recognized as the team that has enjoyed the dividends of the times. Although it is in the No. [-] draw pool, its real strength is estimated to be below the level of the LPL No. [-] seed.

"It is estimated that Xiao Ming and the others have laughed miserably in the base, this luck is indeed good." Zuo Shou said with a smile.

Flame went on to draw the lottery, and successively drew AFS, the third seed of the LCK division, second only to GenG in the second lottery pool, and it was also a relatively poor lottery.

However, FNC itself is also a strong team, so they don't really care about this. Ou Cheng, who watched the lottery ceremony live at the base, didn't even blink his eyes.

Immediately after the draw for group C, Flame put his hand into the second prize pool with a smile, took it out after a few seconds, and slowly disassembled the ball in his hand.

When he showed the note in front of the camera, the entire YM base fell into silence.

The note in Flame's hand is the name of GenG!
According to the avoidance principle of the competition area, GenG could not enter the C group with KT in the same competition area, but automatically moved forward and entered the D group of YM!

"No, what kind of luck is this?" PDD shook his head helplessly.

The No. [-] seed in the LCK is undoubtedly the worst pick in the No. [-] pool.

"Don't panic, calm down, there is only one round left." Meng Ma comforted.

After Flame drew the second seed MAD in the LMS division for KT.

The second round of lucky draw started again.

In Group A, Flame was once again drawn to PVB in the Vietnam division, and the wild card team was properly signed.

The fans of the royal family slid and knelt in the living room directly. This grouping is equivalent to RNG directly recommending the quarter-finals, and the champagne can be opened in advance.

In Group B, FNC ushered in the second seed 100T in the North American division, which is a good sign.

In Group C, KT drew the second seed VIT in the European division.

The remaining No. [-] pool team, TSM, was automatically assigned to YM in Group D.

Before the start of the play-in round, the situation of each group is as follows:

Group A: FW, RNG, PVB (Vietnam wild card team)

Group B: FNC, AFS, 100T (No. [-] seed in North America)
Group C: KT, MAD, VIT (European second seed)
Group D: YM, GenG, TSM (No. [-] seed in North America)
After the lottery was announced, everyone in the YM base fell silent.

Basically, those who were watching the live broadcast also reached a consensus.

Group D where YM is located is the most competitive group among the four groups and the most difficult group to qualify.

Commonly known as the group of death!
