moba: Master, you are drunk!

"Here, I announce that the 2017s7 season of League of Legends World Championship is officially opened!"

On the stage, with Yu Shuang's excited announcement, the live broadcast of the entire World League instantly fell into a scene of thunderous applause.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Shuang introduced a total of 24 teams from 13 regions around the world one by one, and then directly entered the group draw ceremony of the play-in competition.

Before the actual group stage begins, the Play-In Tournament will be contested by 12 third-seeded teams from each region, with the four winning teams advancing to the group stage for a more exciting battle for a global audience.

The eight teams that lost will directly lose the qualification to continue in the World League and will be sent back to their hometown on the spot...

12 into 4, extremely cruel!

You must know that even if it is a play-in round, the participants are the best in all regions of the world, so can you imagine how fierce the competition will be?

As for the No. 1 seeds in other regions, the No. 2 seed teams will be directly escorted to the group stage to wait for the birth of the qualifiers for the play-in rounds, and it is worth mentioning that LCK is the world's No. 1 region, and the three seeded teams do not need to play the play-in tournament at all, and all of them will be escorted to the group stage.

After all, the group stage is 12 into 4, and if you accidentally play abnormally, the risk of pulling your hips out is still quite large, and in a sense, the LCK teams can be regarded as avoiding the risk of elimination.

However, in Lu Qi's view, the GEN team, as the third seed in the LCK, was guaranteed to be sent to the group stage, which is a good thing for the twelve teams in the play-in round.

After all, in the original trend, the GEN team was the biggest upset in this S7 season!

As the third seed of LCK, he staged a real counterattack, punching DRX, kicking SKT, and Samsung, which was renamed GEN under the leadership of Ann, directly kicked all SKT members off the stage with an astonishing score of 3:0, announcing the return of the Samsung dynasty with an unprecedented clean sheet.

The stars are not scattered, and the legend of winning the championship will once again resound in the world.

For such a team that can even keep a clean sheet in SKT to play against the third seeds in other sub-divisions?

Isn't this the king going to the bronze fried fish pond?

When the contestants in the play-in tournament were happy, Lu Qi also couldn't help muttering: "The third seed counterattacked the world champion, don't say it, it's quite inspirational!"

Uzi: "What's inspirational?"

Uzi, who was sitting near Lu Qi, vaguely heard Lu Qi's muttering, and immediately looked over in surprise.

"Oh, nothing. "

Lu Qiwan smiled, immediately picked up a potato chip, and lay on the sofa in the lounge to watch the live broadcast on the big screen.

Xiangguo and others are also drinking the happy water of the fat house, discussing with great interest.

As the No. 1 seed in the LPL who was escorted to the group stage, it is so laid-back.

The play-in stage lasts for a week, and during this week they don't have to play anything, they just need to show up on time and wait for the four teams to qualify for the group stage.

The group stage is their real battleground!

Soon, the twelve teams were grouped together.

Every three teams were randomly assigned to one group, with a total of four groups: A, B, C, and D.

The three teams in each group will compete in a double round-robin BO1 for a total of three rounds, winning one game to get a point, and finally the two teams with the highest points ranking in each group after the final three rounds of BO1 will advance to the knockout round.

Four groups with a total of eight teams advance to the knockout round.

In the knockout stage, eight teams will be rematched.

However, it is worth mentioning that each team that previously ranked first in each group will be matched with the second ranked team from the other group.

Therefore, it is very important for those strong teams to get the first place in the group stage.

Because in this way, they will not meet each other, but will collectively abuse the second-placed team in the other groups, so that the probability of qualifying is greater.

Compared to other teams, the RNG crowd is obviously more concerned about their third seed in the LPL region, WE.

As the third seed in the LPL, WE needs to play in the play-in tournament to qualify and get a place in the group stage.

They are now placed in Group A, with the two teams in Group A being R7 and GMB.

Xiangguo: "GMB is a third-rate team in the world at all, and the level of their division is really not strong, this team is completely here to give away points, but this R7 feels a little tricky." "

Xiao Ming: "One thing to say, although I know that it is a good thing for us to rush into the group stage, at least it can help us clear the obstacles, but I really hope that they will be beaten by R7 and eliminated directly in the group stage!"

Xiaohu: "It's unfair to my Qi God, I will hack them for the rest of my life!"

Uzi: "I guess it's really going to be said by the Qishen.,The overall strength of the R7 team is not even as good as OMG.,If the players in the game are not in particularly good shape, it's probably not the opponent of WE..."

RNG backstage lounge.

Teammates are talking.

And so it was. Looking at this grouping that was exactly the same as in his previous life, Lu Qi couldn't help but say to himself.

In this way, the teams that appear in the group stage are estimated to be no different from those in the previous life.

I just don't know if RNG will have a swap in the group stage and EDG in the previous life because it is the No. 1 seed in the LPL.

If that happens, they'll face SKT in the group stage...

Lu Qi was secretly looking forward to it.

......

Soon, the first round of the play-in tournament began.

The first to take the stage was WE vs. R7.

This is also the first battle of the World Finals.

Players from both sides took the stage one after another.

When the five WE contestants were seen, the other teams participating in this year's World Finals were talking in the backstage lounge.

"It's WE, the third seed in the LPL who was beaten by RNG that Qishen in BO5 alone, the overall strength of this team is not weak, after all, it is still very remarkable to be able to qualify as the third seed in the second division of the world. "

"Are they those idiots? They don't look like they're not very brainy. "

"It is said that the Qishen was originally signed by them WE, and it caused a lot of turmoil in the LPL at that time, but then it was hammered this WE just wanted to rub the heat of others, and after rubbing the heat, we refrigerated the Qishen, and then it seemed that he saw that this Qishen had no use value and directly announced the termination of the contract..."

"What a bunch of fools, such a strong top laner was signed just to rub the heat, this we brain show is funny, right?"

"It is said that when I signed the Qishen, I only gave a monthly salary of 3,000..."

"Damn, even if this kind of genius is three million, our club will buy a hundred!"

"It's outrageous..."

"These people don't even have a brain. "

Including the seeded teams of SKT, Gen, and DRX, from the coaches to the players, they are all scolding, regretting, or gloating because of WE's approach.

Good things don't go out, but bad things spread thousands of miles.

Because of this unicorn god who was born out of nowhere, people naturally investigated his resume, and to be honest, when the players of the major teams learned that this LPL No. 1 true god actually had this kind of past, they were directly stunned.

This kind of great god is swept away?

Is this we're blind!

Originally, many teams didn't know about the WE team of LPL, but when the character of the Qishen was born, all the major teams around the world knew about WE's ridiculous practices.

The fame is completely stinky!

Just as all parties were talking, the two teams on the stage went through a fierce battle for 47 minutes, and finally won the R7 with WE, accompanied by a wave of team annihilation.

In the first game of the play-in tournament, the LPL team won the victory.

Next, the three teams from Group A continue to take the stage to play a double round-robin BO1.

After three rounds, the Group A standings are determined.

WE first, R7 second, and GMB is unsurprisingly at the bottom.

In the end, WE and R7 entered the knockout round.

......

As time passed, three days passed in a flash.

The top two teams of B, C and D were also produced one after another.

The play-in rounds were fast-paced, with the playoffs starting on day four.

In the first round, C9 played against R7, and finally in the BO5 competition, the C9 team that won Group B directly kicked R7 out of the world stage 3:0 and took the lead in winning a place to advance to the group stage.

The next day, the FNC team, a regular participant of the World Championship, also carried away the HKA team 3:0.

On the third day, Team FB carried Team ONE 3-1.

On the fourth day, it was WE's turn to play YG.

I have to say that WE's luck is very good, the overall strength of the YG team is not even as good as R7, and in the end, WE also defeated YG 3:0 without any suspense.

Since then, the list of finalists for the play-in tournament has appeared.

They are C9, FNC, FB, and the third seed WE in the LPL division.

As for the other eight teams, they were kicked out of the World League, ending the journey of this World Championship.

It's a day trip.

After the play-in rounds, there were only 16 teams left to participate in the Worlds.

Since then, the World League has entered a short break.

Seven days later, the time came on October 5th.

The World League group stage has officially begun!

Sixteen teams were present for the draw.

The venue of the competition is still the Wushi Sports Center, but compared with the play-in stage, after seven days of decoration, the competition venue is more luxurious and magnificent.

"Hello, this is the 2017 World Finals competition site, welcome to the scene and the audience friends who are watching the live broadcast online, I am the host Yu Shuang. "

LPL's popular host Yu Shuang came in a pure white evening dress.

As her words fell, the entire game scene instantly erupted in thunderous applause.

The crowd was packed with more than 80,000 spectators, all of whom applauded enthusiastically.

“skt！skt！"

"EDG rush, Mingkai come on!"

"Come on puppies, come on Qishen, you guys are the best!"

"RNG to the master to rush !!"

"Faker, I love you!"

The cheers, the cheers, the voices of support, resounded constantly.

Next, 16 teams will be randomly drawn in groups. Feeling the enthusiastic cries of the audience, Yu Shuang smiled charmingly and said to the coaches of the sixteen teams in the back: "Please ask the coaches of each team to come forward and draw the selection." "

The draw for the group stage was completely instantaneous.

However, teams from the same region will not be placed in the same group.

For example, RNG has already drawn Group A, and then it is EDG's turn to draw lots, if they also draw Group A, because RNG and EDG are both LPL seeded teams, EDG will invalidate this draw and get a new draw opportunity.

If it's still Group A, then redraw.

Until the other groups are drawn.

This mechanism is partly for the fairness of the game, and partly for the prevention of oolong incidents.

After all, if you don't have good luck, the three seeded teams from a region will likely be placed in the same group...

Only two teams in a group can advance to the knockout round, in this case, they will be sent out of the game without waiting for the results of the competition with the teams in other regions, not to mention that this is very bad for the LPL team, the most important thing is that once it is so grouped, because of the civil war in the group stage, it will lead to a serious lack of background in the world competition, and it is difficult to judge the ranking of the region.

After all, they didn't play with other divisions, and as a result, half of the seeded teams were killed by their own people, how can it be said that this division is weaker than other divisions?

First up on the draw was Team DRX, the No. 1 seed from the world's No. 1 division, LCK.

DRX's coach slowly stepped forward and reached out to fumble in the box.

When he took out a round ball, the host Yu Shuang stepped forward to open it and presented the note in front of the camera.

The content was clearly visible to the audience at the scene and all over the world who were watching the live broadcast.

Group B.

"DRX is Group B, don't draw B!"

"FNC, wash your hands, I'm still waiting to see you hit the World Championship, although it's impossible, but don't be sent out in the group stage..."

"Don't be B, don't be B!"

"DRX is really top this year.,Special Meow's SKT has been carried away directly by them 3:1.,I feel that RNG is still not suitable to fight with DRX now.,Don't be B.,If you have to have someone to scare DRX, let WE go!"

"Hahaha, we innocently lie down the gun!"

"Letting this team be cannon fodder is also a contribution to the LPL, isn't it?"

"That being said, you don't have to be afraid, we have the Qi God here, and we are still worried that we can't win?"

"That is, the Qi God is invincible, and the Qi God is powerful!"

"Hard-hitting RNG is not worth this DRX at all!"

Audiences from all over the world were discussing.

Seeing that he had won Group B, DRX's coach also smiled, and then returned to the camp of players behind.

He was the first to draw lots, so it didn't matter what group he chosen.

It mainly depends on what the other teams in the World League will draw.

Soon, it was LCK's turn to be drawn by SKT, the second seed in the LCK.

Coach Kim didn't go, but asked Faker to draw lots, and by the way, he brushed up a wave of prestige.

After all, the name of the Great Demon King is resounding all over the world.

This kind of good thing faker naturally won't refuse, and immediately stepped forward to draw lots.

"Wuhu, Great Demon King!"

“faker！fkaer！"

"Come on Sang-hyuk!!"

"Fkaer is coming..."

Sure enough, with Faker walking to the front of the stage, the scene instantly boiled.

The audience of LCK was overjoyed, and at this moment, they howled as if they had been beaten with chicken blood.

Obviously, there were very few spectators at the LCK, but at this moment, people shouted out the momentum of an army of 10,000 people.

Similarly, many LPL fans also cheered at this moment.

After all, faker's popularity in China is also very high.

Eventually, the faker put his hand into the draw box and shook it, then slowly pulled out a round ball.

The afterfrost opens for it.

Group A.

"Beautiful, one shot into the soul~"

"Is this assigned to the group of death? haha!"

"Whoever draws a will die later!"

Seeing this result, the LCK audience immediately became excited.

Although there are no teams in Group A at the moment, only SKT is the first to enter.

However, in alphabetical rankings, Group A tends to be the Group of Death, and it is usually the strongest team that will be in it.

Faker drew an ace, confirming the name of the group of death.

The third draw was the C9 team.

When the coach of the C9 team saw the subtitles on the note, the middle-aged man almost missed the passage on the spot.

It's Group A...

For a while, many C9 supporters on the scene and on the Internet immediately began to sigh.

Defeat is defeat in the first-hand coach!

Let them c9 go to skt? What's the difference between that and hitting a stone with an egg?

Next, it was the turn of Team AHQ to draw lots.

Many people may be very unfamiliar with this team, but in a sense, they are still neighbors with the LPL division.

AHQ is a team from the bend.

In the past, when LOL was not yet popular, the world champion in the S2 period was the Crooked Assassination Star to win the championship.

But the current Crook team...

The overall strength is far inferior to LPL.

Therefore, when Group A was drawn, the coach of the AHQ team rolled his eyes and almost fainted on the spot.

Seeing Coach AHQ's expression, the players of the C9 team suddenly felt half better.

OK.

Although they thought they couldn't beat SKT, at least there was a food delivery guy at this time.

Each group has two places to enter the knockout round, and as long as you finish in the top two, you can enter the quarterfinals!

"Ahq is really timely rain...", the coach of C9 said in a good mood.

At the same time, he is also expecting the third team in Group A to be weak.

And the next draw is EDG...

Seeing Coach Abu walking to the draw box, the LPL audience cheered up.

"C! must draw C!!"

"It's comfortable to draw Group C, Abu wash your hands!"

"The two strongest teams in the LCK have settled down, as long as they don't collide with them, at least they can be guaranteed to the quarterfinals!"

"Don't be black-faced..."

People are looking forward to it.

Soon, when Abu saw the information on the note, his heart suddenly 'clicked', and the whole person was stunned.

It's a...

"It's over!" Abu said in his heart, and suddenly he even wanted to die.

Although this year's LCK Summer Championship champion is DRX, and SKT is only the second seed, SKT is far more difficult than DRX in the hearts of LPL viewers and players.

They are the mountains that have been pressing on the head of LPL all along.

In the group stage, I met STK...

If this is not a good game, it is estimated that it will not even survive the knockout round, and it will be carried away by SKT in the group stage...

"It's... It's not good..."

When the host Yu Shuang saw the information on the note, a delicate pretty face was also frozen at this moment.

She is the host of LPL, and her heart is naturally biased towards the LPL team.

Seeing that EDG met the LPL's fierce rival in the group stage, it was strange that Yu Shuang could be happy.

In her opinion, if the ultimate RNG went to fight SKT, she wouldn't panic.

Can edg...

Thinking of EDG's experience of losing to SKT again and again in the World Championships in previous years, Yu Shuang panicked.

Glancing at Abu, Yu Shuang also saw the helplessness in the other party's eyes, sighed, and changed to a professional smile again, showing the information on the note in front of everyone.

Group A.

When the audience saw this lottery information, they were in an uproar.

"Hahaha, EDG is Group A, come to deliver food to our STK?"

"EDG, C9, and an ahq of spicy chicken, what kind of spicy chicken thing is this? I can fight ten of these spicy chicken teams!"

“skt！！skt！！"

"This EDG doesn't feel good..."

"Fortunately, Group A is already full at this time, and I can't meet SKT in the group stage, and FNC has a good chance of impacting the world championship this wave, and no matter how bad it is, the quarterfinals are stable..."

LCK fans cheered instantly.

Because of the lessons they were taught by LPL fans before, they still have a lot of resentment in their hearts.

Seeing the LPL's No. 2 seed meet their most recognized SKT, people immediately felt that the opportunity to raise their eyebrows had come.

"No, I've met SKT!"

"It's not good..."

"Are you arguing with Nima from LCK over there, and then force me to believe it or not, and beat you up?"

"That's it, who said that EDG must lose when it meets SKT, have a bunch of spicy chickens forgotten the Rulai God Palm on the MIS? Who hanged you SKT and didn't count?"

"S5 is also taken out to say, isn't it embarrassing?"

"I'm *** you *** thing!"

"Mingkai, they have to fight a tough battle now. "

"Actually, I was quite expecting RNG to be in Group A to meet SKT, but unfortunately it's full now. "

"Abu is just lucky..."

"Woo woo, I feel like 7 sauce is going to run out, woo woo..."

The audience of the LPL suddenly sighed.

What do you want to do...

Especially the fans of EDG exploded on the spot at this moment.

SKT's strength is obvious to all, and there is nothing to doubt about this.

At least on the surface, EDG is indeed inferior to SKT.

......

"EDG pumped group A and went..."

RNG camp.

When they saw Abu's lottery information, and the factory director and others who were not far away, Uzi and his party immediately mourned for them.

To be honest, even when I saw that DRX and SKT were assigned to two groups, A and B, everyone could be said to have no waves in their hearts.

If it were in the previous World Championships, they might have panicked and feared.

But now that there is an RNG with the boss in charge, they are not panicked at all, and even have some faint expectations...

If you can send SKT away in the group stage, it will be really comfortable!

But when I saw EDG actually meet SKT, people's mood was not very good.

There are contradictions with we, but their relationship with Ming Kai and others is still very good, so I naturally don't want EDG to stop in the group stage...

If you have to find someone to face SKT, everyone agrees that it is the most suitable to be human...

"They're a little bit lucky at night. "

"It seems that this wave of knockout rounds with EDG is a bit of a suspense. "

"There shouldn't be much of a problem with C9 and AHQ, as long as they are at the bottom, even if they can't beat SKT, they won't be eliminated, don't worry. "

"Well, it's not hellish either. "

Uzi, incense pot and others sighed with emotion.

It was Lu Qi who showed such an expression when he saw this scene.

Although RNG became the No. 1 seed in the LPL before EDG for his own reasons, the fateful duel between EDG and SKT has not changed because of this.

In this case, their RNG should be assigned to Group C.

"If I'm not mistaken, Gen will also be in Group C, right?" Lu Qi muttered to himself: "Meet the future world champion of SKT in the group stage?"

"Interesting!"

......

PS: 4-in-1!

There's another chapter in the early morning.,I'm back in the state~.
