The format of the play-in tournament is very simple. The teams are divided into four groups by lot.

There are twelve participating teams from twelve different national regions.、EU、NA, including the third seed from Hong Kong and Macau, all won. The rest are all wildcard summer season champions.

There are many of them, such as the well-known regions of Japan, Brazil, Latin America North and South, Turkey, etc.

12 teams are divided into four groups, each with three teams, and the group stage is a BO1 double round-robin system. The top two teams in each group advance to the knockout stage and play a BO5 match with the second place in other groups. The winner can directly advance to the main competition of S7, which is the group stage of the 2017 World Finals!

IG was divided into Group A, and was not very lucky. It was divided into the same group with C9, the evergreen tree of the NA region and the S game!

C9 also had bad luck this year and did not directly advance to the group stage.

The duel between IG and C9 is the biggest highlight of the qualifying round.

And today's opening match of S7 is IG against another team in the group.

LYN, the little cheetah team in Latin America!

——

All IG members are here, and the rest of the teams are here too. There are all kinds of people, from Latin guys with green hair to European and American strongmen with shaved heads...

All kinds of people gather together, and you can tell at a glance that it is a standard international competition.

All the members are here, and the opening ceremony begins.

The opening ceremony of the qualifying round is very simple, just introducing the teams from various countries. After all, many domestic audiences are completely clueless about these teams and don't know them at all.

Because strictly speaking, the attention paid to the qualifying round is indeed not as high as the group stage.

In the minds of many people, the group stage of the global finals is the"main competition". The qualifying round is just an appetizer.

If it weren't for the expansion of the scale of the S game this year and the inclusion of IG in the qualifying round, many domestic audiences probably wouldn't pay much attention to these.

It is precisely because of this that Li Zeyu originally thought that there would not be too many people coming today.

But when he really stepped into the competition venue, he found out that he was wrong.

At a glance, the audience was densely packed, and wherever he saw, there were crowds of people.

All of them were people!

And almost all of them were Chinese, with only a small number of foreign audiences with high noses and blue eyes.

These viewers held in their hands"IG come on!""、"Rookie is the most handsome"、"Killer Saint Monk" and other cheering items.

Li Zeyu even saw a small number of fans cheering for him...

All of them were cheering for IG!

At this moment, Li Zeyu finally knew what home advantage was.

God is fair, if we really talk about the number of fans, IG definitely doesn't have so many.

But today, 80% of the audience in the venue are cheering for IG.

It is not difficult to see that these people are fans of LPL. As long as it is a team representing LPL, they will cheer!

Home advantage, unshakable!

"Wow, there are too many people today.……"

All the people in IG, except Rouji who has seen the world, are no different from Li Zeyu.

It's completely like Liu Laolao entering a big manor.

Seeing so many people paying attention to and supporting them at this moment, everyone is a little nervous.

"An, if we play normally, we can't lose……"Rouji seemed calm, but he was actually panicking.

Because he himself was a player with an unstable mentality... He was always the first to start to collapse in the key games.

It was not his operation that collapsed, but his mentality...

After the opening ceremony, all IG members went on stage to debug the equipment. TheShy played the top lane in this game, and Ning played the jungle.

Li Zeyu took a break.

Ten minutes later, the director notified that the game had begun.

In this game, IG was on the blue side, and LYN was on the red side.

Before the game started, the official specially made a global team support rate.

There was also a support rate for the opposing players.

As expected, IG completely beat the Cheetah team from faraway Latin America. The

99% support rate and 100% crushing of the opposing players made the domestic audience completely excited!

Li Zeyu was also in the lounge with coach Su Xiaoluo, watching the game carefully.

To be honest, he was not nervous now, because with IG's strength, only C9 posed some threat to them in the group stage.

The rest were just rotten fish and shrimp.

The outside world also analyzed it this way these days.

The attention of today's opening match is obviously very high.

The opening match of S7 + the first show of LPLS.

The qualifying round is also the S game. As the host team, IG must have the home advantage in the first show.

In terms of momentum alone, no team can compete with IG in the qualifying round!

Everyone has thought of the result of the game, but everyone has opened the live broadcast room and started watching the game. Looking forward to IG's first show of LPL in this S game!

IG management is also looking forward to it...

But when the game started, this expectation gradually turned into endless anger and autism.

IG sucked.

Maybe it's been a long time since they played in international competitions, or maybe they have no experience in international competitions at all. When IG competed for the quota of the Intercontinental Championship this year, they didn't even grab OMG.

Everyone was obviously tense, even the mid laner Rouji was no exception.

The bottom lane was the first to have problems, followed by the top lane being caught and collapsed, and then the jungler was sleepwalking throughout the game.

In contrast, the Latin brother on the opposite side had no rules and played in an unrestrained style, which is obviously more suitable for the world championship!

Rookie couldn't handle it alone in this situation, not to mention that he also had problems with his mentality and was too nervous.

Although IG gradually regained some feeling in the middle and late stages, it felt too late and they lost the opening game directly.

IG lost this much-anticipated opening game!

At the same time, Li Zeyu took a deep breath and felt that his chance had come...
