Chapter 365: Drawing Ceremony, Grouping Settled

On September 9, the day after the S15 World Finals promotional video was released, participating teams arrived in the Imperial Capital one after another and checked into the designated hotels for the event.

On September 9, all participating teams arrived and signed in. That night, the draw ceremony for the finalists was officially held.

Since the 32 teams are all champions from their respective circuits, and everyone is the No. [-] seed, there is no competition, so the draw rules for the qualifying rounds are very simple and crude.

According to the order of the draw, the teams will be entered into four groups A, B, C, and D. Each group has a total of 8 teams. Only if there are already teams in the same division in the previous group, the drawn teams will be postponed to the subsequent ones. Groups, to put it bluntly, only avoid the principle of being in the same zone.

At eight o'clock in the evening, countless League of Legends players around the world were waiting in the live broadcast room, waiting for the lottery ceremony to be held and the lottery results to be released.

The live broadcast room has pictures connected on time. In the picture, the stage layout is quite grand and formal.

A beautiful woman wearing a cheongsam with a Chinese classical charm walked to the center of the stage gracefully. The beauty looked like a typical oriental beauty. The cheongsam outlined her extremely graceful figure, which made people imagine. Under the cheongsam, a pair of jade chopsticks Her long, straight and beautiful legs dangled under the light, making people dizzy.

Facing this beautiful woman who looked like she had stepped out of a scroll, the barrages, which were always known for being shameless, had begun to call her "wife" one after another.

"Hello everyone, I am the host Li Shu. Welcome everyone to watch the draw ceremony of the top 32 finalists of the League of Legends World Championship..."

The beautiful host's voice is like a sweet spring, like a refreshing breeze, refreshing the heart and mind, and making countless idiots' lips curl up.

As expected, after first giving an introduction in Chinese, she then repeated it again in fluent English. She is both beautiful and talented. She deserves to be born from the world's benchmark and the king of volume writing. host.

Since the first WCS, Chunxin’s various measures in the event have become benchmarks for latecomers to learn from. Although the benchmark seems a bit high, the benefits are obvious. Today’s e-sports environment has changed from the chaos of the past. , presented to the world with a new look that is formal, formal, and full of styles. Facing the brand-new e-sports industry, many giants from other industries have cast their eyes on it and saw the great prospects contained in it. , This is also an important reason for the vigorous development of the e-sports industry in recent years.

Since it is just a lottery ceremony, everyone is only interested in knowing the final lottery results as soon as possible. Therefore, the lottery ceremony does not arrange any time period. After the host completes the opening remarks, it officially enters the main stage. Prepare to draw lots.

"Next, let us be very honored to invite the three-time StarCraft WCS World Championship champion - V - V - to appear!"

Listening to the host's enthusiastic introduction and watching the familiar face of the Star Queen and a generation of e-sports legend appear on the stage, the players in front of the screen instantly became excited and shouted "V God" across the screen in response to A great e-sports goddess expressed their heartfelt admiration and respect.

"I believe that many of the viewers watching the live broadcast are fans of our God V. God V, can you say hello to the viewers and fans?"

Han Xiaowei showed no stage fright, smiled confidently, and simply said hello: "Hello everyone, I am VV, a professional StarCraft player."

"Damn it! What does it mean to have a good show? Apart from the original intention, who can invite God V to stand on the platform in person?"

"V God, I love you!"

"Didn't some people say before that if the lottery was not good, they would just start spraying? Who dares to spray now? I will be the first to spray back."

"This wave, this wave is the hand of a true god!"

The lottery process was very open and transparent. Gu Feng drew on the lottery method of the previous League of Legends. All the slips of paper with the names of the participating teams were placed in identical opaque spheres. The balls were filled with a transparent fiberglass. It is equivalent to people being able to see the movements of the lottery draw personnel’s hands inside from any angle.

After a not-too-long drawing process, the final group results for the qualifying rounds were all decided.

China's three representative teams, the city circuit champion Shengjianbao Team from Magic City were placed in Group A, and the college track champion Yingluo Team from Jingbei University were placed in Group C, and were regarded by countless people. As a strong contender for the championship, the Star Chase team from the Elite Circuit was placed in Group D.

It’s quite funny to say that the names of the three domestic teams don’t seem to matter just by looking at their Chinese names, but the English names are different one by one.

The English name of Shengjianbao is "Pan fried pork bun Pan", so the abbreviation of their team's English name is directly called PPP, and then they are nicknamed the 3P team, which makes people who don't know think that this team has some strange habits. Woolen cloth.

The English name for Cherry Falls is "The cherry falls", and the team's name is abbreviated to Team CF.

It seems that there is nothing strange about Yingluo and Zhuxing, but to Gu Feng, these two names are quite interesting. When he saw these two names, Gu Feng almost couldn't help but spit out the water he drank. .

It's such a coincidence that one is called CS and the other is called CF, right?Gu Feng suspected that these two games were because Tianling complained that he had made so many games but didn't care about them.

Although everyone calls it the eleventh competition area, in fact, everyone still has some judgments about the strength of different competition areas.

Compared with divisions where e-sports is booming and has a large number of players, the overall strength of those divisions where e-sports is not taken seriously and the number of players is much smaller than other divisions is definitely weaker.

Based on the number of participating teams in each competition area and the importance attached to local e-sports, the outside world generally divides these competition areas into three echelons of strength.

The upper division is the division that has the most hope of competing for the championship in the eyes of the public.It includes the host China Division, the European Division with many competitive powers, the North American Division where the world's strongest country, the United States, is located, and the Kimchi Division, which strongly supports e-sports and has the emergence of many top e-sports players.

The mid-range division is slightly less powerful than the four major divisions, but its strength cannot be underestimated. There is a certain probability that a dark horse will emerge and win the championship.Such divisions include the Samba Division, where the football powerhouse is located, the CIS Division, where the world's largest country is located, and the Neon Division, which is a small country but advocates hard work.

Basically no one is optimistic about the lower division. In the eyes of the public, they are just here to travel abroad. They can make up the numbers in the competition and act as a background. If they can get one or two upsets and become a water ghost, then it will not be in vain.Including the Oceania Division, Latin America Division, Africa Division, and Southeast Asia Division.

It is worth mentioning that Xiaowan Province and even the two special administrative regions have not been included in the Southeast Asia Division, but have been naturally included in the China Division. It has to be said that Xiaowan Province still has the strength, with urban tracks and There were teams on the college track that performed well, but in the end they all fell on the way to the top 32.
