The strongest player in the league

These 16 teams are all well-known in the local competition area.

This time, they gathered from all over the world to compete for the highest glory of the League of Legends.

Before the start of each global finals, Riot will conduct such warm-up activities.

About 10 days in advance, let the teams in the competition area know their opponents in the group stage, and leave a certain amount of time for the teams to prepare before the group stage.

At the same time, it is also a means of propaganda.

When local fans pay attention to their own team, they will also learn about the opponents their team has encountered, so as to deepen the communication between different competition areas, expand the influence of the alliance in the world, and increase the expectations of the audience.

It's like the NBA will hold a draft every year, which is also a kind of warm-up.

After s3 and s4, the number of players in the alliance showed a blowout trend.

This year's lottery ceremony has received huge attention in the entire league world.

Everyone is wondering which teams will meet in the group stage.

The rules are like this, lcs european division, lcs north american division, lpl division, lck division, there will be No. [-] seed teams in these four divisions.

They represent the strongest teams in each competition area. These four teams will be divided into four groups of abcd, and they are guaranteed not to meet each other in the first round.

As the No. [-] seeded team advancing to the World Championship, they still have a certain advantage in the group stage.

Riot Games is live streaming.

In front of the camera, two hosts, a man and a woman, dressed appropriately, held a microphone, and narrated with a smile on their faces:

"It's a great pleasure for everyone to come to the draw ceremony of the 2015 League of Legends World Championship, and welcome our three guests."

"Yes, they are ol, rapidstar, frogn respectively."

"Next, let Rapidstar draw out the teams where the four No. [-] seeds belong."

Wearing a white shirt and sunglasses, rapidstar walked towards the transparent glass with pool1 written on it.

As he continued to take out small balls, the names of several teams were also continuously announced.

The No. [-] seed in Group A, the strongest Wings of Hope in North America, and the CLG team.

The No. 1 seed in Group B, the world champion of S[-], and the FNC team from Europe.

The No. 3 seed in Group C, the S[-] world champion, and the SKT team with the big devil in charge.

The No. [-] seed in Group D, this year's SI champion, won a terrifying streak and swept the EDG team throughout the summer!

After the lottery draw for pool1, the No. [-] seed team of each group was also updated on the big screen.

The next three places will be drawn from pool2 and pool3.

Although there are such sayings as No. 2 seed and No. 3 seed, but as the saying goes, there are no underdogs in the World Championship, and there is not much difference between most teams.

However, being able to become the No. 1 seed must have merits.

Basically all the teams participating in the World Championship are paying attention to the lottery ceremony. After the first round of draws, the teams behind are also a little flustered.

After all, the draw for the group stage is very important, which is related to whether they can advance to the quarterfinals.

If you are unfortunately assigned to the death group, then it is really bad luck.

At this moment, many teams are staring at the three vacant positions below Group D.

To be honest, compared to the other three groups, no one wanted to squeeze under Group D.

This season, edg is really a bit scary.

Leaving aside the fact that si won the championship, the summer split dominated the lpl division with a complete victory, just like a god!

Moreover, the top single version of the World Championship has basically been determined.

EDG is on the road, but has a killing machine!

Farke, it is really bad to meet this team early in the group stage.

If we do a poll of the other twelve teams at this time, it is estimated that these people don't want to go to group d.

However, each group always has four teams.

At this time, the second guest at the lottery ceremony walked up to the lottery position of pool2.

frogn, one of the kings of Europe, has the title of the world's number one ice bird.

He took off the hats of the silver balls one after another, and f, ahq, and h2k were drawn out of the three groups of abc.

The European emperor smiled slightly, and put his hand into the lottery pool again.

Next, it's Group D's turn.

The host smiled:

"Oh, the team that entered Group D is Team T!"

……

t base.

Immediately, there was a sound of complaints.

"Oh, damn it."

"Bullshit Ouhuang!"

"Frogn, his hands are too smelly!"

……

Chapter 4 Eighty: A grand trip to Europe

At this moment, ts was stroking the beard on his chin with a stiff facial expression.

As one of the best top laners in North America, this year's od and xiu have the largest background boards in North America.

Although this gave dyr a big boost in fame.

But, for Dyr himself, that memory was really sad.

After tsn drew group d, dyr blinked anxiously.

After a summer, he has got rid of the nightmare above i.

Unexpectedly, now the devil showed him a grim smile again.

Dyr shook his head, stopping the thoughts in his mind.

This summer, TSSI gained experience.

Every member can feel the progress of the team.

However, whether he can defeat that edg team, dyr is really not sure in his heart.

Froggen drew out all the teams in ool2, and then, the guests in the ll division stepped forward to draw out the teams in ool3.

Soon, the results of the lottery grouping came out.

The 4 teams in Group A are North American No. [-] seed CLG, Liger, and the international wild card team, ng from Brazil.

The 4 teams in Group B are the European giants fnc, and the ll veteran team ig and l team that returned to the global finals after three years.

The teams in Group C are the S3 world champion SKT, the European second seed H2K with the background of Emperor Yuelun, LL's strong LGD team in spring and summer, and the old acquaintance C4 team that once qualified in the S9 group.

The 4 teams in Group D are LL No. [-] seed EDG, LCK No. [-] seed KT, and North American Cult TS team!

……

When all the 16 teams' groupings appeared, fans from both the ll division and other divisions began to discuss and discuss the form of qualifying in advance.

International wild card teams have always focused on tourism and focused on participation. This is not a black wild card team, but their strength is indeed far behind compared with other competition areas.

However, whether it is bkt or ng this year, it is already surprising that they can defeat d and the Turkish giant Bescosta to get the wild card qualifying spot.

According to past experience, the results of the wild card team are generally the bottom of the group, and they belong to the role of soy sauce.

Therefore, a group with a wild card team is naturally easier to qualify.

Some ig fans were happy:

"Haha, ig has drawn a lottery. The Bangkok Giants don't need to think about it at all. FNC and ahq are not necessarily better than ig. I feel that it is easier for ig to qualify in group b."

"That's right, the intensity of group a and group b is obviously lower, the cd group seems to be in dire straits."

"There are SKT and EDG, two favorite teams to win the championship, and there are no wild cards or teams from the L division. The remaining four major division teams are in a big fight!"

LGD fans say this:

"Although we collided with SKT and Group C was more difficult, our LGD is still worthwhile. In Group C, apart from SKT being able to meet LGD in terms of hard power, h2k and C9 are not as good. Getting out is no problem."

Although the fans of the optimistic family are a bit loud, most people agree.

In everyone's impression, this year's ll team is very strong, very strong.

At this moment, 61e are the most calm group.

Even before the lottery, 61e were very calm.

Group D looks fiercely competitive. The three teams, kt and ts, are strong and difficult to deal with.

However, this doesn't seem to have much to do with edg.

What should be worried is that the fans of kt and tsdg think so, and the melon-eating audiences in the six major regions also think so.

The dominance of edg is obvious to all. It is too difficult to keep this edg out of the group stage.

When the 516 version appeared, this view was widely recognized.

After all, this season, edg has the most powerful top laner in the world!

The global finals have not yet started, but the arguments on the Internet have already appeared.

edg, ig, and lgd are collectively referred to as the '3g' group by fans, while skt, kootiger, and kt are called the '3k' group.

After s3 and s4, s5 will be a new round of collision between ll and lck.

Many expanders are imagining:

In the semi-finals, 3G encircled SKT, pushing LL to the top of the world in one fell swoop.

In the more impetuous public opinion, some people also said:

"There are no underdogs in the World Championship."

However, under the prevailing wind, there are not many people who can really stabilize their hearts.

……

S5 continues the way of S4, and will start a grand European tour.

This time, the venue is the capitals of the four European Derby countries, Paris, London, Brussels, and Berlin.

On October 10, the group stage will be held at the Pullman venue in Paris.

This is a 24-hour continuously open venue, which is designated as a national cultural heritage by France and is also the largest cultural exchange center in the north of Paris.

The Pullman venue, the Ottoman venue and the Eiffel venue have integrated resources to meet the requirements of any type of event, covering an area of ​​8500 square meters.

The Pullman venue will be the starting point of the European tour.

At the same time, it is also the starting place for 16 teams from the six major competition areas to chase the dream of s5.

……

During this period of time, there was constant public opinion from the outside world. Compared to the voices from LGD, EDG was still relatively low-key.

In the Modu base, everyone is not idle. In the limited time, edg hastened to get familiar with the new version.

September 9th, the Mid-Autumn Festival.

Li Zixiu called Jiangcheng and also received a call from Gusu's house.

On the festival of reunion, relatives are not around.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zixiu looks at the moon.

Thinking in my heart:

Nung, moon and new moon.
