I, The Founder Of League Of Legends!

In Lu Li's plan, only five teams will participate in the League of Legends S1 World Championship, namely LPL, LCK, NA-LCS, EU-LCS and the champion of the wild card division!

When he thought of this, Lu Li regretted it again. After all, when there was an LMS division in the previous life, six teams played a game, and the game schedule was quite easy to arrange.

But now, Lu Li must use his own thinking to determine a new form of competition.

First of all, in terms of the competition system, Lu Li will definitely not make too many changes, dividing the entire World Championship into three stages: the group stage, the knockout stage and the finals.

Each stage will be held by Lu Li in a city. In order to let more cities feel the charm of the League of Legends e-sports league, Lu Li decided that in addition to the finals in the capital, the other two stages of the competition will be held in one city. , all choose a city that does not have a home stadium of League of Legends.

For the first city, Lu Li decided to choose Wuhan City in Northern Province!

Lu Li chose Wuhan City for the group stage. There is a very important reason, that is, there is a domestic first-class university, Wuhan University, and in a place with young people, e-sports can get considerable benefits. Development basis.

For the second city, Lu Li decided to choose Gwangju City, Gwangdong Province, for two reasons. The first reason is that Gwangju City has quite a few universities, such as South China Institute of Technology, Gwangju University, etc.

The second reason is that Gwangju is also the home city of League of Legends that Lu Li previously wanted to determine, and taking advantage of the opportunity of this World Finals, Lu Li also decided to determine the basis of his home stadium in Gwangju again.

After determining the three competition cities, the next step was for Lu Li to determine the schedule of the competition.

The five championship teams from the five major competition areas will first conduct the first round of group exhibition in Wuhan City!

In the group stage, Lu Li decided to adopt a double round-robin points competition system. Each team will first have a BO1 match with other teams. After the first round, they will have a day off to allow the team to adjust. Make the second round of adjustments.

After a total of 20 games in the two rounds of the group stage are over, the five teams will then eliminate the last team based on their points and determine the top four teams in the S1 World Finals!

Next, is the knockout round of the S1 World Championship, which is the semi-final stage.

The grouping of the semi-finals is naturally determined by the points in the group stage. The first place will play the fourth place, and the second place will play the third place. The competition format is directly BO5!

After winning the BO5 victory, the two promoted teams will also advance to the finals in the Capital Bird's Nest to determine the overall winner of the League of Legends $1 World Exhibition.

The city and competition system are relatively easy for Lu Li to determine, but Lu Li is a little worried about the time of the game, because so far, only the LPL and LCK have decided the champion of the first season. , the other three league championships have not been won yet.

However, after Lu Li determined the finals time for each major competition area, Lu Li also quickly determined the finals schedule for the League of Legends S1 World Championship!

The group stage will be from October 7th to October 8th, with an additional break. The second round will start on October 14th and end on October 15th.

Knockout round, October 21st-October 22nd.

Finals, October 29th.

After Lu Li, Miss, and Guan Bo Niang confirmed all the content about the S1 World Championship, in the next two days, Miss immediately determined the competition venues in Wuhan City and Gwangju City, and then, On the third day, Guan Bo Niang released an announcement about the S1 World Championship schedule!

"The League of Legends S1 Global Finals schedule is confirmed!"

In this announcement, the League of Legends official not only informed the summoners of the game time, but also directly announced the ticket sales time. Starting from September 15th, Riot Ticket will start selling tickets for the group stage that will not start 20 days later. Tickets, tickets for the semi-finals will be on sale on September 16th, and tickets for the finals will be on sale on September 17th!

The reason why we are so anxious about time is because it is too close to the start of the World Finals... After all, the summoners Lu Li wants to face are not only domestic summoners, but also foreign summoners. of!

Therefore, Lu Li can give foreign summoners enough time to arrange their schedules one month in advance.

"This year's preparations are too hasty. Next year, we have to start planning at least two months in advance." Lu Li said to himself. After all, this is the first time Lu Li has hosted such a world finals, so he may think a little beforehand. Not being considerate is excusable.

But even though the ticket sales time for the League of Legends S1 World Finals was very tight, when the ticket sales officially started, Lu Li felt the enthusiasm of summoners around the world to buy tickets!

On September 15th, all tickets for the two rounds of four-day matches in the group stage were sold out within ten seconds!

On September 16, all tickets for the two-day knockout rounds were sold out within five seconds!

On September 17, all tickets for the finals were sold out within two seconds!

This situation was something Lu Li never expected, because the number of tickets from the group stage to the finals actually increased in sequence, but no one understood what was going on. Those with fewer tickets sold slowly, while those with more tickets sold out slowly. On the contrary, it sold out quickly?!

"But this matter is actually relatively normal... After all, who doesn't want to watch a League of Legends World Finals?" Lu Li said to everyone with a smile (Nono's).

The 60,000 tickets for the Bird's Nest took three to four seconds to sell out last time, but this time, it went one step further and sold out in two seconds!

Guan Bo Niang, also under the instruction of Lu Li, once again posted on Weibo to thank the summoners around the world for their enthusiasm. As for the next time, all the summoners can do is to wait quietly!

In the next week, all the competitions in the five major leagues were finally over, and the list of five teams that could participate in the S1 World Finals finally appeared in the eyes of summoners around the world!

IG team! Champion of LPL!

TSM team! NA-LCS championship change!
