Chapter 158 Drawing Ceremony, Death Group

Just after 9:7 on September 0th, VG Club officially took the holiday.

Everyone is here and ready to train.

Hongmi appeared in the training room on time.

"Everyone please stop for a moment after this round." He held the printed information in his hand. "We will have a meeting later."

Everyone stopped qualifying one after another.

The old rule is still to form a half circle, with your own coach in the middle.

"At today's meeting, the main topic of discussion is the World Championship version," Redmi began to introduce, "The official information is that the latest version 6.18 will be used in the global finals!"

The translator was working diligently on the sidelines to convey the message, ensuring that everyone could understand the meaning.

"In the coming time, I hope everyone will give up training in the national server," Hongmi looked at Lin Yi, "We must quickly adapt to the rhythm and hero strength of the World Championship version!"

He knows that his AD usually chooses to double play the game in order to improve his training sessions.

However, the Chinese server is still in version 6.17, while the Korean server has been updated to 6.18 ahead of schedule.

As a championship coach, Hongmi has a lot of experience in the world championship: "Many of you here have never participated in the global finals. I have to explain in advance that this is completely different from our intensity in the regular season."

He talked eloquently: "In the regular season, we will change the version almost every two weeks. Team players have to adapt quickly in a very short period of time, but there is no need to study too deeply about the specific content of the patch."

"Because before you can understand it, the version has changed!"

"The World Championship is different. For a month, 16 teams around the world have to study and research around a single version. Whoever can find the answer to the version faster and more accurately will make it to the end!"

"With two servers ranked at the same time, although there will be more practice sessions, a lot of it is useless and may even have side effects," Hongmi said bluntly. "I have also learned about the Chinese server. Nowadays, professional players are rushing to train in the Korean server. , it has almost become a world dominated by unique skills, and the rhythm of the game has almost nothing to do with the game.”

"When I'm either fighting or on the way to fight, there is basically no trace of operations, and the training effect is minimal."

"This opportunity for the World Championship is hard-won. For some people here, this is likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I hope everyone can go all out and leave no regrets!"

After finishing speaking, Hongmi paused.

Lin Yi instantly understood what his head coach meant.

Compared with the younger him and Duan Deliang, Easyhoon, who was born in 92, has now entered the aging stage of professional players.

The more intense the competition, the more it tests a person's physical strength and concentration.

As long as there is a slight mistake, the consequences will be catastrophic!
Especially in BO5, once five rounds are played, the veteran will be the most uncomfortable.

Newcomers pay tuition, and seniors are manipulated by show-offs. Similar things are common in the e-sports circle.

The tactic of surviving the old man is not alarmist, it is a reality.

Easyhoon may be able to persist this year with its own willpower, but what about next year?

"First, let me tell you about the key changes in each position," Hongmi motioned to Jin Wenhe to distribute the information. "The team leader and I have circled the points that need special attention with a red pen."

"First of all, the top lane position, Captain and Shen have been weakened respectively."

"After the teleportation guidance time became 4.5 seconds, heroes with the ability to remotely support teammates have been dominating the professional battlefield!"

Hong Mi gushed: "Ganglank's base health has been reduced by 40 points this time. The mana cost of W Orange has increased by 20 points at all levels. The early cooldown of his ultimate has been increased and the damage has also been weakened. The designer's attack will It’s probably hard to see it on the field again.”

"Shen's passive shield value has been reduced, and Q's percentage output has been reduced by 1%. As a result, it is much more difficult for him to gain lane control in the lane than before. Although he can still play, it is relatively difficult."

"The top laner position has fewer opportunities to support other lanes, which indirectly makes the ability to line up in the game become particularly important."

"Whoever can win the lane will get the early advantage, instead of just playing linked roaming as easily as before."

Zhu Xiaolong very much agrees with his head coach's opinion.

Hongmi moved her gaze towards Dandy.

"The blind monk's W [Iron Shirt]'s second-stage effect, basic attack and skill blood-stealing, have been increased by 5%. His strength will be very high in the World Championship!"

The head coach explained and analyzed the content of the patch to other players in turn. He paused for a moment only after finishing the part about Mr. Hou, picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip.

He did not continue to rest, but instead began to tell Lin Yi: "Ai Xi was slashed by the designer this time. The duration of the Q skill was reduced from 5 seconds to 4 seconds, the W cooling time was increased, and the damage of the first two levels of the ultimate skill was weakened. It can be said that it has been shaved from beginning to end!”

"However, due to the characteristics of the hero, this character is probably still popular in the World Championship. You have to practice more frequently."

“EZ原被动技能增加10%的攻速叠加5次，满攻速50%，现在被动技能增加10/12/14%攻速叠加5次，满攻速50/60/70%。”

It can only be said that he is worthy of being the son of the fist. This wave of enhancements is extremely huge!
"The training points I have circled for you are only based on the judgment of the official patch," Redmi said in its final explanation. "The specific situation still depends on our subsequent understanding of the version, and we will continue to improve and make up for it!"

All five of them nodded their heads, expressing their understanding.

"This is the end of today's meeting," the head coach urged the players to step up their training, "act now, kids, we don't have much time!"

In the next few days, Lin Yi worked hard and trained extremely hard. He often got up at noon and stayed up until four or five in the morning to rest.

According to Hongmi's instructions, he only plays Korean server now.

After queuing for a long time, Lin Yi used his free time to play solo in the national server with his teammates.

Most of the time it's with Brother Long.

Encouraged by his coach, Zhu Xiaolong now desperately wants to improve his laning ability.

Teleportation was weakened, and Shen couldn't survive the designer's machete.

This means that the top lane ecology is very likely to be dominated by the LCK top laner with single-band tactics like in previous years.

If you want to prevent your line from becoming a breakthrough point for your opponent, increasing the intensity of your line is key!

"Ah!!!" Allen Chu felt like there were ants crawling on his body, "Why is it that I, Jace, was pulled over by you, Narr?"

"I can't accept it!"

Dandy, the OB next to him, laughed like a pig and gloated: "What's going on, Brother Long? Aren't your hero's hands 50 yards longer than his? Why did you get two basic attacks in a row for nothing?"

"Don't scream," Brother Long vowed, "It's no use if you know how to pull, I'll show you a solo kill later!"

Three minutes passed, and Allen Chu looked at his black and white screen with a look of despair.

Lin Yi expressed his innocence: "Nar is called Little VN. I can play a little bit, so it's understandable, right?"

Brother Long ignored him and said directly: "One more shot, I won't accept it!"

Time passed slowly in this intense training.

The evening of July 9.

The five members of the VG team suspended today's training and moved their chairs in front of the huge curtain indoors.

Today is the draw ceremony for the global finals.

According to the procedure, they have to sit together to watch, and the team leader Jin Wenhyuk will record the whole process, and then post it on the official blog.

This is a routine program for teams participating in the World Championships over the years.

This is the first time for VG to enter the S competition, so they have to do as the Romans do!
Lin Yi put down the back of the chair and lay half-ly on the gaming chair, which was very uncomfortable.

At 9 p.m., the lottery ceremony officially began.

The screen first showed the highlights of the teams participating in the global finals, and behind them were the four lottery guests.

From left to right are the auxiliary players of the S2 World Champion, Mistake.

Cpt Jack.

The first legendary ADC in China, smiling.

and a North American mid laner, Scarra.

"Damn it, Dabuliucha!" Lin Yi sat up in shock, "Today's guest is actually him."

"You kid, do you need to make such a fuss?"

Brother Long on the side was still thinking about the bloody Solo history in the past few days, so his tone was somewhat resentful.

Lin Yi explained: "This is my idol. I started watching him when I was in junior high school!"

"Aren't you a Uzi fan?" Duan Deliang wondered.

"They are all the same. My main thing is to like strong people!"

While talking and laughing, the lottery has officially begun.This World Championship will be divided into three pools based on the results of the 2016 Third Place Championship.

Pool [-] is the summer championship team of the division where the MSI top four teams are located.

VG, Rox, TSM, and Flash Wolves were screened out.

According to past situations, the LMS division is not eligible to have a seat in the first pool.

It's just that this MSI they won a semi-final spot, so the Flash Wolves were able to enter.

Subsequently, the No. [-] and No. [-] seeds from LPL and LCK, the No. [-] and No. [-] seeds from Europe, and the No. [-] seeds from North America, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, a total of eight teams were included in the No. [-] pool.

They will also be drawn according to the principle of avoiding the same division, and each group will be assigned to two teams in the second pool.

The remaining wild cards and the third seeds from the European and American divisions, a total of four teams formed the third pool and were assigned to the last spot in each group.

On the screen, Mistake walked to the glass basin, which contained four palm-sized silver-black spheres. He put his hand in and slowly stirred it.

Mistake took out a sphere and slowly rotated it open.

On the orange ribbon is a team logo embroidered with a tiger head!

Rox Tigers!

They were assigned to Group A!
VG was drawn out shortly after.

"Group B, we are in Group B!" Jin Wenhe said in a loud voice.

Lin Yi's expression was as calm as ever. To be fair, he didn't feel anything when he drew the No. [-] pool. After all, he just had to decide which group VG would be in.

The four No. [-] pool teams have been allocated.

Group A is the Tigers, Group B is VG, Group C is Flash Wolves, and Group D is TSM.

What will greet them next will be the challengers from other divisions!
Lin Yi sat up straight and stared at the picture on the screen, looking forward to his opponent in the group stage of his first global finals.

There are eight teams in the second seed pool.

They are AHQ, CLG, G2, H2K, EDG, RNG, SSG, and SKT!

Captain Jack walked to the glass basin containing 8 silver and black colored balls, stirred for a while before pulling out one.

When unfolded, the orange ribbon reveals a soaring Eagles logo.

Surprisingly, it is AHQ.

"It's our turn," manager Gao Jun secretly prayed, "please give me a good sign."

Captain Jack took out the second silver-black color ball. As soon as he opened it, he was the first to see the specific contents. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise, and his expression couldn't help laughing.

The ribbon opens.

Almost everyone in the VG training department leaned their upper bodies forward slightly, trying to see their first opponent more clearly.

On both sides of the red circle are a pair of golden wings spread out.

“Fuck!” Allen Chu roared loudly, “Don’t do it, brother!”

Lin Yi took a breath and contributed to global warming.

Needle drop can be heard in the VG training room instantly!
Anyone who pays attention to League of Legends games will know the identity of this team logo.

SKT!

The winner of last year’s global finals.

It is also the only team to win double championships so far.

Although they are in the second seed pool, everyone knows how terrifying this team is.

No team in the world would take them lightly.

When the SKT team logo appeared below the VG team logo, Lin Yi looked solemn.

Even though VG is having a smooth time playing in the LPL, every time they play against LCK teams in training matches, they lose more than they win.

This is even more true for SKT.

Lin Yi knew very well how terrifying this team was.

According to the rules of the World Championship.

There are a total of four teams in each group, and the top two teams advance to the knockout rounds.

SKT will undoubtedly occupy a qualifying spot.

This means that VG needs to compete with the other two teams for the last qualification to enter the quarterfinals!
"I hope the next draw will be better." Team leader Jin Wenhe covered his face with his hands and had no intention of watching the next two draws.

EDG was assigned to Group C, while Samsung was in Group D where TSM was located.

It's Smile's turn to take the stage.

He pulled out a silver-black colored ball from the glass basin in front of him.

CLG.

Seeing Xiao Xiao about to put his hand in again, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel anxious.

"Let's do something, Dabuliucha!"

He prayed to himself.

There was a helpless expression on the smiling face.

The ribbons unfold.

The team logo with double horns appeared in front of everyone.

Surprisingly it is G2.

"Made," Jin Wenhe couldn't help but cursed, "What kind of crazy lottery are these?"

Champion of the European Summer Split!

"We are too unlucky this time, aren't we?" Duan Deliang looked up to the sky and sighed.

Lin Yi also looked troubled.

Even before the last team in Group B was drawn, the situation was already very serious.

Double champions SKT and European Summer Split champions G2, the difficulty is straight to the max!
Under this situation, even the battle-hardened Dandy and Marquis looked gloomy, obviously not optimistic.

In the subsequent draw, Europe's second seed H2K was assigned to Group C, while fellow team RNG entered Group D where Samsung was!
"For the last draw, let's get a wild card!" Jin Wenhe clasped his hands together and prayed for God's blessing!
Scarra first helped Group A draw the CIS wildcard ANX.

Then put your hand into the glass basin again.

"Coming!" Lin Yi muttered to himself.

Scarra raised the corners of her mouth and slowly stretched out the ribbon.

For some reason, seeing him smiling, Lin Yi suddenly felt a bad feeling in his heart.

A team logo similar to Baidu Cloud appeared.

This is the third seed in North America, C9!

"My old swan!" Brother Long was possessed by the memory and was completely dumbfounded.

Group B is so scary that it doesn't even have a wild card.

Almost every draw is made by the top or second best team in the seed pool.

Hongmi and manager Gao Jun looked at each other, and in the end they could only smile helplessly.

The grouping situation was slowly determined, and the 16 teams all had their own destinations.

Group A: ROX, AHQ, CLG, ANX.

Group B: VG, SKT, G2, C9.

Group C: FW, EDG, H2K, INTZ (Brazil wild card)
Group D: TSM, SSG, RNG, SPY.

The lottery ceremony has ended, but the outside world has just made waves!
