LOL: Who still wants to play professionally after winning the championship?

The finalists and group matches will be held in Jiangcheng.

This city is also the hometown of EDG’s legendary jungler Mingkai.

The qualifying round starts on September 9rd!
This is a newly added event content in the S7 season. The 12 seed teams from the four major regions that have advanced to the World Championship through the qualifying rounds or the top teams from the wild card division will be divided into 4 groups.

Then compete within the group through a double round-robin bo1 competition system.

In the end, two teams from each group can advance to the second round, and a Bo2 victory or defeat will be used to determine who can advance to the group stage.

In the LPL division, teams promoted from the qualifying RNG team need to pass the group stage to enter the main draw.

Since there are a lot of dog fans and royal fans, the venue was packed on the day the game started.

The tactical system that the RNG team is good at is four guarantees and one, but when facing a wild card team, the players can fully take advantage in the laning stage by virtue of their own strength.

Coupled with the understanding of the blazing incense burner system, the average time of several bo1 games was only 31 minutes.

This is quite rare in the current stinky and long version of the game.

Of course, BO1 is the most prone to accidents due to its particularity.

RNG can steadily win consecutive victories, which also shows the strength of the team!
9月28日到9月29日举行BO5晋级赛。

In the BO5 game, RNG’s opponent is the Vietnamese team.

The recent momentum in the Vietnam Division is relatively good, and the strength of the team is also very good.

But facing RNG, one of the top three players in the LPL, it was still a bit disappointing.

They still failed to stop RNG from advancing to the group stage.

"The lineup grouping is finalized!"

Group A: EDG team, C9 team, SKT team, AHQ team
Group B: LZ team, IMT team, GAM team, FNC team
Group C: G2 team, SSG team, RNG team, FB team
Group D: FW team, MSF team, TSM team, GBG team
The top three teams in each group stage will be finalized through a drawing ceremony after the end of the Brazilian League.

Therefore, Tang Jun has long known that GBG's opponents in this round of the group stage are very weak.

"I feel like the EDG team is going to suffer. They are in hell mode in this group."

Seeing that EDG and SKT were placed in the same group, Wei Shen smiled a little.

Although SKT was defeated 3-0 by GBG in the Champions Heroes match, the overall strength of the team is there.

Based on the information he has learned so far, the EDG team seems quite confident. There are no appointments for training matches before the playoffs!
"Didn't they go celebrate the team members' birthdays a few days ago?"

"It feels like they are firmly in the quarterfinals."

"The group stage is also BO1, so it's easy to get upset."

Bad memories came to mind, and Wei Shen thought of his miserable years in S5.

At that time, he was even crazier than the current EDG team.

The World Championship hasn't started yet, but during his live broadcast, he had already started asking water friends which champion skin they should choose?

But as the group stage approached, he was still addicted to Sky Sword and didn't even think about playing more League of Legends Ranks.

"There will be a reward for people's madness."

"There's no need to pay any attention to them."

"Let's just take care of ourselves."

Tang Jun also didn't expect that this space-time EDG would still look the same.

You know, this year's Summer Split champion is not EDG, but GBG!

EDG is the stinky runner-up who was stepped on 3:0!

"Just wait and see."

For the finals, GBG didn't pay much attention. The reason is also very simple, because the level of competition in the playoffs is not even comparable to the LPL playoffs.

The main reason why we watch the playoffs is to understand the playing styles of each team in each division.

As for the details of operations or laning during the game, they can basically be ignored.

After everyone discussed it, they started a training match with everyone from IG.

Today is the last training match between GBG and the IG team before the semi-finals.

The reason why it is not going ahead is also very simple, because as teams from various major competition areas come to Jiangcheng one after another, GBG has also made appointments for training matches.

If you train with IG alone, the effect will definitely be there, but it will definitely not be as good as taking turns training with teams from other divisions.

As for before the exam, it is the same reason to study papers with different types of questions.

If you stick to one aspect, it will be easy to be disrupted by a small change of moves by the opponent during the actual game!
This leads to constant mistakes and failures.

……

On the other side, everyone in the EDG Club had just taken the high-speed train from Shanghai to Jiangcheng.

In the eyes of outsiders, Group A is the group of death.

But from EDG's perspective, it's very simple to advance in Group A.

The SKT club has arranged quite a few training matches with them this summer, so the two teams know each other very well.

EDG believes that the strength of the two sides is not much different. In the two rounds of bo1 in the group stage, the two sides are likely to achieve a 1:1 result.

If EDG can fight SKT one-on-one, wouldn't the other two teams just kill each other casually?

Therefore, the group stage is never the key. What matters to EDG is how to win a Bo5 in the World Championship and successfully advance to the semi-finals!

……

“Welcome everyone to the League of Legends Global Finals.”

"I am the host, Ren Dong!"

Time flies, and the group stage officially kicked off on October 10th.

"Across thousands of mountains and rivers, we welcome players from all teams in all major competition areas to Jiangcheng!"

"This year's group stage will still have 16 teams competing for eight qualifying spots."

"In the first round of the group stage, we will hold 24 games, and there will be 6 BO1 games every day!"

The enthusiasm was endless.

There was no GBG team game on the first day of the tournament, but many young people could be seen holding the GBG team flag and waving it desperately in many places on the field.

The reason is simple, because they are all lucky spectators who got tickets through online participation in the event lottery.

The schedule for the group stage was arranged by Riot Games after the qualifying rounds, and tickets went on sale early.

Therefore, it is difficult for viewers who buy tickets in advance to ensure that they can see their favorite team.

Fortunately, Riot's arrangement is relatively reasonable. The first round of the group stage lasts for 1 days, and there are teams from the LPL division every day.

Therefore, those spectators who purchased tickets will not be left empty-handed.

Of course, in addition to fans from the LPL division, there were also many foreigners present.

Quite a few of them come to watch the game by buying scalper tickets.

Although the exchange rates of many currencies are relatively high, the prices raised by scalpers are a bit exaggerated. For many ordinary foreigners, the price of tickets is also very painful for them.

But fortunately, the vast majority of foreigners who can come all the way to watch games in China are not poor. (End of chapter)
