"Whoo~"

Mo Yu breathed a long sigh of relief.

As a Chinese, LGD's victory is naturally what he hopes to see most.

The worries before the game were all blown away with the 3-1 victory.

"It seems that LGD has great hopes of winning this year's TI!"

"The four teams in the loser group are all underdogs. As long as they can continue to maintain their current state, they might be the final champion."

"I wonder what's going on over there at GAG?"

Thinking about things, Mo Yu opened another live broadcast room.

It is the S3 event live broadcast room.

This year's S3 is set to be in the beautiful country.

It was established by the North American branch of Moyu Games and the company's largest agent in North America.

Held in five cities: Seattle, San Francisco, Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles.

And this year, due to the addition of nine wild card divisions, the competition system has also been adjusted.

The entire competition system is divided into two stages: the qualifying round and the main round.

Among them, the summer champions of each division and the first place in the annual points, as well as the champions of the three major A-level competitions and the MSI champion, a total of 14 teams entered the main competition.

Afterwards, in the main competition stage, 6 teams will be selected from the qualifying round, that is, 20 teams will be divided into 4 groups. Through the double round-robin BO1 group stage, the top two teams in each group will be selected to enter the quarterfinals, and then they will play against each other to advance all the way. Until the championship.

The play-in round is composed of the A-level runner-up, the nine teams with the highest points in the wild card division, and the third seeds from the five major leagues, a total of 17 teams.

If the A-level champion and runner-up are teams that have already qualified for the S-level competition in the league, they will automatically be moved to the next place.

In other words, a total of 31 teams participated in the competition.

Since the playoffs are for odd-numbered teams, a BO1 points system is adopted. Only the top six teams with final points are eligible to enter S3.

Although this competition system is troublesome and has many games, it is a relatively fair competition system, but it seems very cruel to the qualifying teams.

17 will advance to 6, it’s hard to say who will advance.

There are also strong players in the wild card division.

Especially in the big-money competition regions like Saudi Arabia, since its establishment, money has been spent poaching people in every transfer window. There are indeed many top players in the five major regions who have been poached.

There is also the Brazilian division.

It is well-known and the development of the competition area is relatively advanced, so there are also foreign players from the five competition areas.

It can only be said that even for the third seed in the five major regions, it is not that simple to get a spot in the main draw.

When Mo Yu opened the live broadcast room, it happened to be that S3 had just started and was still in the qualifying stage.

I glanced at the number of people in the upper right corner of the live broadcast room.

"It seems that even for the finals, there are a lot of spectators."

"That's right. Putting aside the wild card competition, the third seeds in the five major competitions this year are not weak teams."

"There are even two-time world champions like Emperor Star!"

Although most of the qualifying rounds are wild card teams, there are also many top teams.

South Korea's KT, domestic Dixing, North America's C9, Europe's EG, and Southeast Asia's HKE are all influential in their respective regions, and among them is a heavyweight like Dixing who is a two-time world champion.

So it’s easy to understand why there are so many people.

At this time, a match between C9 and Vietnam GAM was being broadcast in the live event room.

According to the standings published on the official website, C9 is now sixth in the standings, while GAM is seventh. There is not much difference between the two teams.

According to the predictions of many netizens before the game, this game should end with a big victory for C9. However, at this time, the situation on the field actually seemed to be GAM having the upper hand. "It's incredible."

"It seems that the Vietnam Division has only been established for a year. Can C9 not even be able to beat this kind of team?"

Mo Yu didn't expect C9 to stretch his hips so much.

Even in BO1, the top teams will overturn, but that is often based on the weak team coming up with weird and new things, but now the selections of both sides on the field seem to be normal, and both are strong versions. hero.

In this case, C9 is still being beaten, which I can only say that it really shouldn't be.

Either they are underestimating the enemy, or they are just having fun. There is no real gap in hard power, right?

"The economic difference is 6000, the high ground is broken all the way, and Xiaolong still gets less than the opponent."

"It's really hard to pick your feet~"

C9 fell behind significantly on the field, and the live broadcast room was full of all kinds of unbelievable barrages.

Obviously many viewers did not expect such a result.

After a casual glance, Mo Yu also posted two comments complaining about C9. Later, he simply didn't bother to continue caring about the results of this game. He turned off the live broadcast and went to the official website of the event to check the top six teams in the qualifying rounds. .

Open the website and find the page.

After entering, a points list is arranged.

There are seventeen teams in the qualifying round. Not only does it have information about the players on the team's roster, but it also has the current wins and losses, and then the team's points ranking.

Looking down from above.

The first place is KT, the second place is Emperor Star, the third place is EG, the fourth place is QQG, the fifth place is HKE, the sixth place is C9, the seventh place is GAM, and the eighth place is DFG
“I didn’t expect that QQG and DFG also entered.”

I hadn't paid attention to GAG's events for a while, and Mo Yu discovered it after checking.

Among the three major cups this year, two of the runners-up happened to be domestic QQG and DFG.

In the past two years, these two teams had no qualifications for the S competition, which means they just got the opportunity this year.

"Looking at this situation, QQG's ​​hope of advancing to the main draw is not small, and they are ranked fourth in the standings."

"DFG is a bit difficult, but there are still many games to play in the future."

"The biggest problem is this year's Korean competition."

"Really rising!"

Looking at the victory and loss data of Emperor Star, we can see that it is currently 6-1, that is, 6 wins and 1 loss, and the loss happened to be against KT, who ranked first in points.

And KT is 7-0, a complete victory!
Korea is fierce!

"DOTA made a big mistake and was beaten by the whole world, but GAG was beaten by the whole world. They are really two extremes."

“I don’t know if I can win the GPL championship this year, given the current situation.”

"It's hard to say~"

Shaking his head and sighing, Mo Yu felt that there was little hope of continuing to defend his title this year.

There are five promoted teams, one is EDG, one is IG, one is Emperor Star, and the remaining two are QQG and DFG.

Among them, EDG lost to SKT at this year's MSI, and later in the summer split, they were unbeatable in China. However, the rising IG could not beat EDG, let alone Emperor Star, DFG, and QQG.

The latter two teams are ranked sixth and seventh in the league points.

That is to say, by participating in the A-level competition and winning the runner-up, I narrowly escaped qualifying for S3.

Under such circumstances, it’s hard to say whether this year’s Summoner’s Cup can remain in the GPL.

Anyway, Mo Yu felt that there was little hope.

"Let's pay attention to TI first. S3 has just entered the playoffs. It's still early to see what will happen next~" (End of Chapter)
