Stop contacting LPL, we are so unfamiliar!

"Hello, fellow Summoners of the Global League of Legends."

“Welcome to the first round draw ceremony of the Swiss round of the 2020 League of Legends Global Finals!”

"I am the host, Yu Shuang!"

After all the preparations for the lottery ceremony were completed, accompanied by exciting and expectant background music, Yu Shuang, the host from the LPL division, walked slowly and gracefully to the center of the stage.

"After a whole year of struggle and hard work, 22 teams from all over the world finally stood out and gathered in Shanghai."

"After ten of the teams competed in the six-day qualifying round, four teams, HXA, TL, UOL and PSG, also successfully obtained the final four Swiss round tickets."

"But the journey of the S10 World Championship has actually just begun. Next, the sixteen teams participating in the Swiss round will compete more fiercely for the final Summoner's Trophy!"

"We will draw lots soon to reveal the eight matchups in the first round of the Swiss Round!"

"Then, let's first take a short video to learn about the competition format of the Swiss round of this global finals, as well as the lottery rules."

After the host Yu Shuang completed this brief opening, a short video immediately cut in and led the summoners of the global League of Legends to begin to understand the specific details of the lottery ceremony.

If we say that last year's S9 World Championship adopted the Swiss round format for the first time, the majority of audience friends were still a little confused and confused about the new competition system.

So after having experienced the S9 World Championship, this year they already have a clear understanding of the "Swiss Round System"!

Therefore, the audience did not really listen to the specific lottery rules at all. They were just more concerned about which teams were in the four seed pools in the first round of the Swiss lottery.

As the short film progresses, the audience's doubts will soon be answered.

The number one seed pool is the G2 team, TES team, DWG team and FLY team.

The second seed pool is FNC team, JDG team, DRX team and TSM team.

The third seed pool is ROG team, SN team, GEN team and MAD team.

The fourth seed pool is HXA team, TL team, UOL team and PSG team. These four teams have advanced from the play-in round.

"Next, let's invite two guests for the lottery ceremony, Clearlove, the coach from the EDG e-sports club, and Mlxg, the jungler of the former RNG e-sports club!"

After the rules introduction short video ended, as the camera returned to the lottery ceremony, this year's two lottery guests were already standing behind the four seed pools.

"First of all, let us invite Clearlove to draw the teams for the first seed pool of the Swiss round."

There was no need for the factory director and Mala Xiangguo to speak, so Yu Shuang immediately invited the factory director to come forward.

And because the order in which the four teams in the No. 1 seed pool were drawn was not interesting, the director quickly completed the drawing.

Team FLY!

DWG team!

TES team!

G2 team!

The above is the order in which the four No. 1 seed teams will be drawn.

"Next, let's invite Mala Xiangguo to draw lots for the teams that will complete the fourth seed pool for us."

The next draw is the most important part of tonight's draw ceremony.

Because after this round of "one-for-four" drawing ends, the first four pairs of matches in the first round of the Swiss round will officially complete the matching!

Malaxiangguo also knew the key to his right hand, so he stirred it for a long time when completing the team extraction.

Team TL!

But what he didn't expect was that the first team he drew directly triggered the "same division avoidance principle" in the first round of the Swiss round, so that the TL team directly became the opponent of the DWG team.

UOL team!

And when the spicy hot pot completed the second extraction, the result immediately made him take a breath.

Because after the matchup between the FLY team and the UOL team is finalized, the only two remaining teams in the second seed pool are the HXA team and the PSG team, both from the PCS division!

In other words, for the TES team in the LPL division, they now have a 50% probability of encountering the HXA team led by Dark in the first round!

"Spicy Spicy Pot, give me some strength. I must draw the HXA team in the third round, and let the TES team take care of HXA's arrogance!"

"Don't draw the HXA team. So far, our LPL team has never defeated Dark. If the TES team loses in the first round, like last year's JDG team, then the situation will feel a bit bad. "

And just when Mala Xiangguo's right hand reached into the No. 2 seed pool for the third time, in the LPL official live broadcast room, the content of the barrage quickly became polarized, and everyone expressed their own opinions.

To sum up, it is very simple, that is, some LPL fans have been psychologically affected by Dark and have completely lost their belief in "defeating Dark".

As for other LPL fans, they still stubbornly believe that it is not the Dark players that the LPL teams can beat, but only the G2 team. And this year's HXA team, they will definitely be able to easily defeat it!
So, amid the expectations and prayers of fans on both sides, Mala Xiang Guo finally completed his third draw...

PSG team!

The team that the TES team faced in the first round of the Swiss round was not the HXA team, but the PSG team!

But while all LPL fans were in different moods, LEC fans in Europe were instantly confused.

Although the fourth draw of Spicy Hot Pot has not yet been completed, with only the HXA team left in the second seed pool, this means that the G2 team will meet the HXA team in the first round of this year's Swiss round!

To put it another way, Dark player will meet his old team G2 team in the first round of the Swiss round!

boom……

When this fact was confirmed, not only LEC fans, but all League of Legends viewers around the world were immediately excited.

Because they all never expected that the first round of this year’s S10 Swiss Round would be so exciting!
They never thought that the confrontation between the HXA team, which had Dark, and the G2 team, which had lost Dark, would happen so quickly!
"Wow, the result of this draw is not the LPL's behind-the-scenes operation, right? It actually allowed Triple Crown winner Dark and Triple Crown winner G2 to meet directly in the first round of the Swiss Round?"

"Wonderful, exciting, exciting! In this way, whether Dark or G2 lose the game, they will end their unbeaten myth in the World Championship group stage or the Swiss round!"

"It seems true. In previous world championships, the G2 team never seemed to lose a game before the knockout round, but this year it may be in doubt because Dark went to the opposite team!"

"Brothers, the chance to test who is the stronger player Dark or the G2 team has finally arrived!"

"If we go by the performance of the G2 team in the LEC, Dark should still be the stronger player, but because Dark's four teammates look much weaker than the G2 players, the outcome of this game is really uncertain!"

When the first-round match between the G2 team and the HXA team was officially finalized, the attention of all League of Legends viewers around the world was deeply attracted by this upcoming battle of the century.

They didn't even pay too much attention to the subsequent draw of the second and third seeds. They just wanted to see the outcome of this powerful dialogue as soon as possible.

But it is useless for the audience to be anxious, because the schedule of the Swiss round has been determined and will not officially start until October 10.

So the next thing they can do is wait! With the draw ceremony of the first round of the Swiss round completed, the specific matchups of the eight BO1 games have finally been determined.

FLY team vs UOL team.

DWG team vs TL team.

TES team vs PSG team.

G2 team vs HXA team.

FNC team vs. SN team.

JDG team vs. GEN team.

DRX team vs ROG team.

TSM team vs MAD team.

……

"Good guy, Brother Guozi, I didn't expect that you were right. In our first game, we played G2 directly!"

In the training room of the HXA team, when the PSG team was confirmed to be the opponent of the TES team, ON's eyes widened in shock.

First he looked at Toothpaste, and then at Dark, his eyes full of disbelief.

"I really didn't expect it."

“本来我还以为咱们怎么也得到瑞士轮1-0或者2-0阶段的时候才能遇到G2，结果这麻辣香锅直接在第一轮就给咱们抽过来了。”

"I feel like this guy did it on purpose. After all, he has never beaten me on the court, so he can only think of such evil ways outside the court."

Dark said with some tears.

It's not that he is afraid of meeting the G2 team and thinks that the HXA team can't beat the G2 team, but because he wants to give his old club G2 team a few more days to save face.

After all, the G2 team is the only team in the history of League of Legends to win three consecutive championships, but if they lose in the first game of their journey to the fourth championship, it will be a huge blow to the G2 team.

But Dark, from the bottom of his heart, didn’t want to see the G2 team being hit by him so quickly.

And to be honest, he even hopes that the HXA team will not encounter the G10 team before the S2 finals!

If we defeat the G2 team in the finals and complete the feat of establishing a new king, that would be the best scenario for S10 in Dark's mind!
"It definitely wasn't intentional. If he really had this ability, would he be unable to win the lawsuit against RNG?"

Toothpaste said with blood on his face, and couldn't help but laugh when he heard Dark's truth.

"Well, let's train."

"Since we met G2 in the first round, we have no choice but to be ruthless."

"Besides, as long as we defeat the defending champion in the first round, then when we meet other teams later, we will have an absolute upper hand psychologically!"

Dark said solemnly, the BGM of victory already igniting in his heart.

After all, the World Championship is not a place for emotions. It only judges heroes based on success or failure.

If HXA beats G2, then as Dark said, all subsequent teams will take a high look at HXA.

But if HXA loses to G2, then in the eyes of other teams, HXA will become a wild card team that is not worth mentioning and only had some luck to defeat LGD!
So no matter what, the HXA team must win this battle with the G2 team!
……

On September 9, after the S30 World Championship qualifying rounds officially ended, there were only the last two days left for the sixteen main draw teams to prepare for the first round of the Swiss Round.

And when the calendar turns to October 10, the official opening day of the 3 League of Legends Global Finals has finally arrived!

Due to the storm, without live audiences, this year's opening ceremony was not as lively as in previous years.

However, the opening ceremony performance was not as exciting as last year, but compared to the Bird's Nest Dragon in S7, this year's Magic City opening ceremony in S10 was still inferior.

But the content of the opening ceremony does not matter to the audience. In fact, what they care about is only the process and ending of each game!

So, after the opening ceremony of the Swiss round of the S10 World Championship finally ended, the first day of the Swiss round officially began!
Although this year's S10 is at the home court of the LPL division, because under the Swiss round system, the game arrangements must be sorted according to the draw results, so the opening game of the S10 Swiss round is between the FLY team and the UOL team. .

Although the UOL team successfully made it out of the playoffs, facing the No. 0 seed in the LCS division, they still failed to create a miracle and unfortunately fell into the 1- group.

In the second game, the DWG team faced the TL team.

Facing the third seed in the LCS division, the DWG team, as the champion of the LCK summer division, also showed no mercy. They quickly defeated the TL team in an extremely crisp way and successfully advanced to the 1-0 group.

In the third game, the TES team faced the PSG team.

Although the PSG team successfully eliminated the LGD team with a score of 3 to 2 in the playoffs, this result actually shows that the strength of the PSG team and the LGD team are almost the same.

But you must know that the LGD team is only the fourth seed in the LPL division. Facing the championship team TES, the LGD team has never won the game at all.

So this time it was the PSG team. Knight, the mid laner of the TES team, once again triggered the passive skill of "Left Hand Order" and directly killed the PSG team in a very cruel way and successfully advanced to the 1-0 group.

The next fourth game is the most exciting matchup in the first round of the Swiss Round.

The summer champion G2 team from the LEC division faced off against the summer champion HXA team from the PCS division!

……

"Okay! Welcome all Summoner friends in front of the screen to return to our first round of the Swiss Round of the 2020 League of Legends Global Finals!"

"Hello everyone, I am still your commentator for the first half today, Duoduo!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Gu Gu!"

At the end of the third game, after a short break, the two official commentators of the LPL appeared in front of the camera in the official studio again.

"I believe that everyone is as excited as us at this time, because what we are about to bring to you will be one of the most exciting duels in the first round of the Swiss Round."

"Team G2, versus Team HXA!"

Wang Duoduo said extremely excitedly.

"Before the official commentary begins, I would like to introduce to you the starting members of both teams."

"Because just reading their IDs makes my blood boil!"

"G2 team, top laner BrokenBlade, jungler Jankos, mid laner Caps, bottom laner Perkz, assist Hylissang!"

"Team HXA, top laner Flandre, jungler Dark, mid laner Yagao, bottom lane SMLZ, support ON!" (End of this chapter)
