The alliance begins with the help of the enchantress

The whole team, including the director of the pig farm, is ready to go and ready to be a training partner!

Moreover, because it was in the scrims, each team began to try different styles of play.

For the four selected teams, what they need to do most now is to find out the current version, the World Championship version, and the differences between the two versions.

Riot Games has already announced the version of this year's World Championship, so the primary purpose of each team is to understand the importance of the version.

According to past experience, whichever team can better fit the version, whichever team can perform better on the stage of the World Championship.

Although the strength of the players includes the hero pool is part of it, every team should not be underestimated to be able to enter the world championship stage. In addition to testing the players' own operations, what is even more tested is the cooperation between teams. synergistic ability.

After all, players like Xiang Chuge who have a wonderful hero pool are still rare in the entire world competition.

……

Therefore, only by better understanding the version, taking advantage of the advantages of the version, and finding a style of play that suits your team, can you make your team last longer on the stage of the World Championship.

At the same time, after the bubbling match, four teams advanced, and Riot Games also started a new round of group stage draws.

The draw for the group stage had little to do with Suning.

Because he is the fourth seed, he can only start from the play-in round.

However, this is also a new breakthrough for this team!

You know, this is the first time the Suning team has entered the world stage.

This season is a brand new start for them!

Looking back, the other three teams in the LPL have directly entered the group stage, which is the so-called "top sixteen" list.

The [-] teams selected this year have not changed much from previous years.

Of course, before the play-in round is over, there are actually only "twelve" teams.

Including, three teams from LPL, three teams from LCK, three teams from LEC, and three teams from LCS.

It can be said that the four major regions in the world account for at least two-thirds of the seats in the group stage.

Of course, there are four other teams, which are selected from the knockout rounds of the two teams from the North American and China divisions, as well as the n wild card teams.

This year, the twelve teams in the four major competition areas, compared with previous years, have a lot of new faces, and there are also a lot of old faces.

The first is the LPL side.

In addition to the RPG team, Taobo and JD.G team are entering the stage of the World Championship for the first time.

As for the LCK division, this year, the Skty team, which originally had a chance to hit the world championship, lost to Samsung in the final bubbling match and missed the place in the world championship this time.

Brother Li, who has won the world championship three times, is also very helpless!

But there is no way!

This year's Skty showed a strong dominance in the spring split, and won the spring split championship in South Korea.

but……

In the summer split, there is nothing to do.

Facing several other teams, Skty lost its competitiveness. In other words, Brother Li was not as strong as before, and in the end he was not able to stand out from the LCK division.

As for...

Over there in the European Division.

As the runner-up of last year's S9 World Championship, Gtwo entered the World Championship this year as the No. [-] seed, followed by the FNC team and the No. [-] Rogue team.

Both Gtwo and FNC are already frequent visitors to the World Championships. As for Rogue Team, although they are also a strong player in the European Division, they are not enough to watch in front of many powerful opponents in the World Championship.

Not to mention the North American Division.

Every year, three teams from the North American division come here, but basically they are all given away in the group stage, and the top eight are eliminated.

For example, the TSM team.As the "head snake" in the North American Division, the TSM team can enter the stage of the World Championship almost every year.

Including this year, TSM has entered the stage of the World Championship for the eighth time.

As for Team FLY and Team TL, everyone doesn't know much about them, or in other words, they haven't been taken seriously by everyone.

Although North America is also included in the four major regions, but in terms of strength... it is really a bit eye-catching.

Almost every year, the teams in the North American Division "won the top [-]"!

Therefore, rather than talking about the four major competition regions in the world, everyone's attention is still focused on the three competition regions of LPL, LCK and LES.

As for South Korea and Europe, the biggest threat to LPL is still the LCK!

Forcibly entering an opponent like Skty, in this year's LCK division, they did not qualify!

And this also allows people to see the strength of the LCK this year!

Moreover, in the global power rankings, No.1 in the world is RPG, and No.2 is the Big Turtle team of LCK!

And the Big Turtle team, in the LCK finals, beat No.2 with a completely crushing posture, and won the championship 3:0!

Faced with such a situation, even if RPG defeated Taobo and won the LPL championship, everyone is still sweating in their hearts.

After all, RPG is 3:1, and the big turtle is completely crushed 3:0.This meant that after fighting for a long time, the big tortoise did not reveal its true strength.

Under such circumstances, the entire LPL team does not want to face the Big Turtle team, but there is no way, the current lottery session is very likely to determine the next fate of the LPL!

In this regard, apart from RPG, the two teams Taobo and JD.G are unavoidably worried.

Suo Ran and the others also understood that if they wanted to enter the finals, they would definitely have to face off against the LCK teams, let alone have a head-on collision with the giant tortoise, and the goal of each of their teams was to win the championship!

However, they still hope to meet them when they can adjust their state to the best. They don't want to meet the big tortoise in the group stage.

But this point is not something they can control. Their only thought now is to see how lucky the dog god is.

That's right!

The lucky draw guest for the group stage is none other than Gou Shen!

And the old team of RPG, Mala Xiangguo!

The lottery for the group stage has finally begun under the much-anticipated!

This group draw will likely determine the direction of each team. Everyone is holding their breath and praying that their team will have a good position.

As far as LPL is concerned.

The current position of the RPG team is definitely the best.Because RPG is the No. [-] seed of the LPL. According to the principle that the No. [-] seeds will not meet, in the first round of group matches, they can still avoid the most powerful opponents in other divisions very well.

This is also the fist official hope that strong enemies will not meet prematurely, and the suspense will be saved until the end.

For such an advantage, Taobo and JD.G can only express envy at this time.

However, the two teams are also very confident in their own strength. After all, the group stage is four to two, and it is not a big problem for the two teams to qualify from the group stage.

After an hour of tense and intense lottery, the final result of the lottery was finally announced.

This time the lottery is definitely a joy for some families and sorrow for others.

From the current group situation:

RPG was the first to be assigned to Group D, and together with RPG was LCK's second-seeded DRX team and the North American division's FLY team.

Obviously, this is very beneficial for RPG.

In this group, it can be said that there will be no pressure to qualify for RPG.

Even if the players often pay for nothing, make trouble on the court, and have never played against the second seed DRX team in the LCK, then No.2 can also advance to the quarterfinals.

It can be said that the top eight places in RPG are relatively stable, and there is a high probability that they will qualify first in the group!

Compared with the RPG team, the Taobo and JD.G teams are actually relatively lucky in everyone's eyes.

The Taobo team was assigned to Group A, and they will face the European Gtwo team and the North American team TL.

Both Taobo and Gtwo teamed up to qualify. The only point of controversy is who is the first in the group between the two teams.

As for JD.G, they were in Group B, and they were assigned to Team Big Turtle. At the same time, there was also the European Rogue Team.

There is nothing more to say about this.

Everyone's prediction is also that the big turtle and JD.G will join hands to qualify!

But this time, everyone is more inclined to the big turtle for the first place in the group!

After all, the dominance of the Big Turtle team in the current LCK division is too strong.

After the entire playoffs, the Big Turtle team can be said to have never lost a single game!

The LCK finals beat DRX 3:0, just ask you are you afraid? ?

As for group C, it is also the most worrying group, known as the "group of death".

This group includes the No. [-] seed "TSM" from North America, the No. [-] seed "Samsung" from the LCK, and the No. [-] seed "FNC" from Europe. The strengths of the three teams are relatively similar!

Moreover, if the No. [-] seed of LPL, that is, Team Suning, comes from the qualifying rounds, according to the principle of different divisions in the same group, Team Suning can only be assigned to Group C.

At that time, this group will also become a real "group of death"!

When this group C was formed, everyone was sweating for them.

Every team here should not be underestimated, they all have the possibility of qualifying!

After seeing the result of the lottery, the fans of Suning cried like ghosts and wolves, unwilling to believe this bleak fact.

After this, the groupings of the groups have all been assigned.

After watching it, everyone said: Gou Shen and Mala Xiangguo are very lucky!

Such a lottery is also the best result for the audience!

At least, from the perspective of the entire competition area and even the entire China, in the hearts of the audience, there are at least three LPL teams that can enter the quarterfinals!

If Suning can stand out in the group of death, it is possible for the four teams to advance together!

For RPG, even though the lottery was drawn now, they did not take it lightly.

If they can't play as dominant as they are in the LPL, it is very likely that they will capsize in the gutter.

After the lottery was drawn for the group stage, the four LPL teams also arrived at the hotel designated by Riot Games in Shanghai to stay, and began to prepare for the upcoming World Championship.

Suning was the first to arrive at the hotel. Judging from the group draw this time, they will start playing in the qualifying round, and if they advance, they will enter the death group. Obviously, their pressure is even greater.

This time, through their own efforts, the boys from Suning won the last LPL to participate in the World Championship. For this, they still cherish this opportunity very much.

They don't want to fail to qualify for the group stage, they don't want to win the reputation of a "top sixteen", and they don't want to...

Didn't even make it to the play-in rounds!

Therefore, their entire team came here ahead of schedule, and started a crazy rank and training match, hoping to help the players find their status through continuous training, and hope that during the training process, the players can better adapt to the version .

Then came the RPG.

It's not that the RPG team is more diligent than other teams, but that the RPG club itself is in Shanghai, which is relatively close to the official location.

The team members sat in the bus, and it didn't take long before they arrived at the officially designated area for the event.

It can be said that among these teams, RPG has the least pressure.

After all, in this group, for them, the only strong enemy is the DRX team in the LCK division.

In addition to these four teams participating in the World Championship, the EDD team led by the head of the pig farm also came to Shanghai!

That's right!

As the main training team in the LPL division this year, they also came to the hotel here to train with the World Championship team.

The sparring team can be regarded as an old tradition of the LPL. Almost every team that goes out every year, there will be other teams to help.

Like S7, Van Plus went to help, like S8, Team Xia was willing to be a sparring partner for RPG and Ai.G, etc.Because for a competition area, when the game reaches the World Championship, the honor of the championship is no longer just a matter of one team, but has become a matter of the entire competition area, and even the entire China!

Especially as a sparring partner, although he can't play in the main game, it is also very important during the World Championship.

Behind every winning team is the dedication of many people. Many LPL teams will choose to serve as sparring partners for some hopeful teams.

This year's sparring team, the reason why EDD was chosen is also because under the leadership of the head of the pig farm, EDD's performance in the training game is very good, including in the main game, EDD is basically a leading team before 15 minutes .
