LOL: I can hear the enemy team chatting!

This year, in addition to the LCK, there are four favorable championship contenders.

In other competition areas, they are also old acquaintances.

C9, FNC, G2, GAM, etc. are also regular visitors to the World Championship, and it is not surprising that they can enter the World Championship.

However, under the attack of the eight kings of LPL and LCK, no one can be optimistic about them.

After all, the top two major leagues in the world this year are too strong.

Just bring in any team and they can dominate their division.

In the eyes of players around the world, this year's World Championship is still a competition between the LPL and LCK.

Europe and the United States are completely bystanders.

Even though their own audience felt very sad, there was nothing they could do about it.

Who makes the geniuses in these two major regions come one after another, and they work very hard!
Now that we have entered the offseason, there is not much movement in the LPL.

In the past, when entering the offseason, some players would be traded.

But this year's player trading session was unusually deserted.

Everyone is waiting.

After the World Championships, I will have plenty of time to see some of my favorite players.

Of course, everyone in the club knows Xiao Jiujiu very well.

We are just waiting for a certain player to finish the World Championship and then build a team around this player.

In this way, next year will be the most promising year.

Needless to say, this person is naturally Jiang Zhou.

Jiang Zhou's current net worth has risen to a very terrifying level.

The World Championship hasn't started yet, but Jiang Zhou has actually received invitations from several clubs. They don't even care about Jiang Zhou's performance in the World Championship. As long as they can sign a contract, their annual salary will be as high as 3000 million!
Otherwise, they are just gambling.

Bet that Jiangzhou can create another good result in the world, so that they can plan in advance and gain a lot of fans next year.

Of course, if EDG doesn't get very good results, Jiang Zhou's popularity is actually not bad. As long as his performance is not too bad, he will definitely become a top player.

Anyway, they make money.

They all know that Jiang Zhou's contract has ended after the World Championships. Although he is a shareholder of the club, there is nothing in this world that cannot be solved with money. As long as your annual salary is high enough, they believe that Jiang Zhou will be moved. .

But Jiang Zhou naturally chose to block all these messages.

He didn't have time to think about these things before the World Championship.

This year's World Championship is the most important year in history.

Jiang Zhou also wants to have an impact, and the best thing is to be able to defend his title.

The scene of leading IG to win the world championship last year is still vivid in my mind and cannot be forgotten.

It’s just that this year I took four new teammates to compete in the Bird’s Nest.

EDG quickly announced that they would conduct closed training.

This year they are playing at home and don’t have to go to other countries in advance to familiarize themselves with the environment, which is still beneficial to LPL teams.

There is no need to adjust to the time difference, and there is no need to find a strange environment and listen to strange words.

Just concentrate on preparing for the game.

Time passed bit by bit.

Jiang Zhou subconsciously goes to the training hall to turn on the machine as soon as he wakes up almost every day.

The morning is for basic training.

In the afternoon, we will explain tactics, study the styles and tactics of other teams, and sometimes have a few training matches.

In the evening, there is free ranking time, but there are strict rules. You must play 10 ranking games every night.

Under such a crazy arrangement, even the youngest Jiang Zhou was a little unable to bear it.

I also caught a cold during this period.

But in front of the world champion, these are small things.

What they have to do now is to try their best not to leave any regrets.

He said it was okay.

Xiaohu and Meikong are also working very hard.

They know very well that this is the closest they will get to a world championship.

Have top teammates to help you.

They have the right time, right place, and the right people. If they don't try their best at this time, who can they deserve?

Even I feel sorry for myself.

So these two people didn't even return home, and spent the entire month in the base training crazily.

Time passed slowly, and as teams from other divisions arrived in China one after another, everyone realized that the World Championship was coming.

As the World Championship is approaching, the four LPL teams have also received notifications and started filming the expedition ceremony.

September 20th.

The LCK team and other teams also came out of the airport one after another and checked into the hotels prepared for them, where they were also filmed.

At the same time, this year’s theme song was also announced.

Two words.

"Chasing the Stars"

This song abandons the routine and sounds a bit unpopular, but the power and yearning contained in the song can move people's hearts.

If life never stops, moving forward will never stop!
This year's theme song MV also takes the form of a comic.

It also looks very cool.

The final picture showed five people standing there, with the background images of Tsar, Thresh, Riel, and Yasuo behind them.

The man in the middle is wearing gaming headphones and his iconic pose. It can be seen that he is Jiang Zhou.

After all, his popularity in the past two years has been too high.

Moreover, the honor is obtained softly, and it is worthy of this C position.

In this MV, the team logo of each team appears as a hidden easter egg.

And there is a foreshadowing in the shadow of every year's theme song, and the message of the championship can be obtained from the song.

So it’s that time of year again when the audience deciphers the prophecy.

Some people say that EDG never stops moving forward, which means that they failed in the World Championship in S11, did not enter the playoffs in the Spring Split, and changed their fate in the Summer Split to enter the World Championship.

Some people also say that this is not IG?
They keep moving forward, never regret playing as a team, and will probably defend their championship.

Some people also say that it indicates that he will wear a crown with stains, or that he is Faker in T1. 1000 people have 1000 opinions.

But no one can predict it until the game is over.

Jiang Zhou also accepted a pre-match interview after filming the MV, and also spoke highly of other teams in the World Table Tennis Championships.

All you have to do at this time is respect your opponent and that’s it.

But in fact, he was very panicked inside.

This year’s LCK team is very strong.

The original destiny child was the alpaca.

Now there is another T1.

And the IG of their own competition area...

It is already very difficult to break through the encirclement of these three teams, let alone other teams.

So now it’s time to go crazy and rain rainbow farts on other teams, it’s best to make them relax their vigilance!

When the players from other teams were interviewed, the final topic would always fall on Jiang Zhou.

Many AD players also challenged him in public.

There is no way, he is now the most popular AD brother!
The officials even prepared a special pose for him during his first appearance, just like Da Fei's tumble in the World Finals.

But Jiang Zhou felt that that was too embarrassing and not suitable for him.

After all, it was because he was a triple crown champion.

And who are you?

Just one world championship, one MSI championship, four league championships, countless MVPs 'that's all'.

So it’s better to keep a low profile and not make so many troubles. After dealing with these matters that had nothing to do with the game, EDG's training rhythm also slowed down.

There are only three days left before the World Table Tennis Championships. If you train crazily at this time, it will be counterproductive. It is better to let your players relax.

You can go and watch the qualifying rounds.

Get used to the atmosphere of the World Championship in advance, and you won’t be so nervous when the time comes.

And there are still some teams you can pay attention to in the escort competition.

FNC, MAD, GG, TES, those teams all started from the play-in round.

Although there is no doubt that they will enter the group stage, now is the time to study them carefully and adapt them to the World Championship meta in advance.

Because this is the final version of Policewoman OK again.

And there is an additional auxiliary cat.

The bottom lane will be very exciting.

There have also been some small changes on the top lane, and Sword Demon suddenly seems to be popular.

In the middle, Akali and Victor are also on the rise.

So at this time, they must adapt in advance and see how strong these heroes are to prepare for the next game.

Soon, the qualifying rounds for the World Championship began.

The scene was very hot.

It starts at 1 pm Beijing time and continues until 8 pm.

There is a play-in match to be played every hour.

In the first game, MAD played ISG.

The strength gap between the two sides is still very large.

It's obviously a dishonorable game.

The five guys from MAD are really able to make a living. They didn't use any conventional lineup. The bottom lane combination turned out to be a combination of Diva + Dawn.

If such a combination appeared in the LPL, they would definitely be abused.

But ISG has never played against such a lineup. The number of kills was 22:11, which was basically a brutal killing. MAD got a precious point in the qualifying round.

This kind of game has no reference at all for EDG, which has already guaranteed entry into the group stage.

Just think of it as a bit of fun.

The first day of the qualifying round was actually quite interesting.

It's a battle between GG and TES.

These two teams are ranked 4th in each division and will enter the playoffs. Although everyone knows that they will definitely enter the group stage in the end, they always have to give some opportunities to teams in other divisions.

So we all entered the finals together.

TES also felt a little helpless. What are their identities?
The champion jungler, the 'World's No. 1 AD' voted by fans, and the No. 1 mid laner in the country. Such a combination has to be reduced to the finals. It's almost like they have a reputation.

But there is nothing we can do.

Fortunately, GG was also in the same situation as them.

The first match between the two sides in the qualifying round also attracted other teams from the World Championship.

After all, the game process of these two teams is very reference.

And the choices on both sides are good.

The top order is Sword Demon and Weapon.

The wild area is full of big trees and Wei.

Mid laners Akali and Silas.

The small cannon Riel in the bottom lane faced the combination of Nila + Niutou.

Nila's users are stains.

From this point, it can be seen that as a veteran, he is still very serious about this world championship. A specially trained hero like this should be his ultimate move.

After all, no team entering the World Championship is weak. If you want to gain a foothold here, you won't be able to do it without some unique skills.

Nila may be the stain of choice.

And they played back and forth, dragging the final time to 45 minutes. In the end, TES was one move away and lost to GG.

But fortunately, this game did not have a big impact on them, and there are still several games to come.

As long as they can advance as the top two in the group.

The first day of play-in competition ended quickly.

The outstanding heroes are Silas, the jungle tree, etc. The female policeman, female gunner, and Aphelios also appeared, and their performances were all very impressive.

This version of the World Championship is still very interesting.

It feels like thousands of flowers are blooming, and everyone can always find a hero that suits them.

The group stage lasts for 6 days.

The first four days were a wheel battle, with eight games every day.

In the next two days, four teams compete for the final two spots.

Although TES lost to GG on the first day, the opponents they faced basically had no strength. They passed the level directly and entered the group stage without even playing the final BO5.

Same goes for GG.

After easily entering the group stage, they just waited to be grouped.

On the 6th day of the group stage, EG and FNC also successfully defeated their opponents in a BO5 game and entered the group stage.

At this point, all sixteen teams in the group stage have been determined.

The group grouping ceremony was held that day.

The person who drew lots was a foreigner, whom Jiang Zhou did not recognize.

In EDG's base, no one pays attention to the lottery player, and they pay more attention to the label in his hand.

Jiang Zhou remembered that he had never been so excited during the last World Championship.

Probably because I was on IG, so I didn’t know what I was afraid of.

But now, let alone, I really feel a little scared.

In fact, the draw is to group the teams that came later in the qualifying round.

These teams that entered the group stage early have already determined their grouping, but no one knows it.

Riot hopes to keep this suspense today.

The first teams to enter the group stage are all champions of each division. The top teams naturally have to be dispersed into four groups, so that all games can look very exciting.

I still have a good grasp on this.

EDG is curious about their grouping and who the other two teams are.

And when Group A was announced.

The five EDG players are also a bit confused.

Good guy.

Are they in a group with T1?
And FNC?

This caught them off guard. They were announced before they were mentally prepared, and the results were also shocking to them.

What the hell?
Group with T1?
The factory director squirted out the water without swallowing it. He felt that he had made all the preparations, but he was still a little surprised to see this scene.

It goes without saying that the T1 club is famous in the LPL.

Very exaggerated.

It is also the seeded team in this year’s World Championship.

They are clearly not ready to be in the same group as this team.

But sometimes fate is like that.

The more you don't want something to happen, it will happen.

Of course, FNC turned green when they saw this scene. What kind of group is this? ?
These two teams, T1 and EDG? Are both Xia Guan in Group A? Adding them will...

Three summer crowns?

This group A is definitely the death group.

But FNC has the greatest chance of death! (End of chapter)
