This foreign aid is ridiculously strong

The dust of the qualifying round has settled, and according to the avoidance principle of teams in the same division, the grouping situation of the group stage has been directly determined.

Group A: KT, CFO, EDG, EG

Group B: C9, G2, T1, RNG

Group C: RGE, TES, GAM, DK

Group D: JDG, GEN·G, 100T, FNC

The ACD three groups are pretty good. They seem to be relatively clear-cut in terms of strength and weakness. The seed teams in the LCK and LPL major regions are infinitely favored by the outside world to qualify together.

This year's group of death is undoubtedly Group B.

According to the iron law that European and American teams must enter the quarterfinals every year, the LCK and LPL teams that entered Group B are the third and fourth seeds respectively. This group looks like Europe and the United States have a good chance.

Although T1 will automatically be favored by two ranks after entering the World Championship, RNG has a record of being eliminated in the group stage.

In addition, the grievances between these four teams are endless.

C9 and G2, as the light of North America and the king of Europe, are the cards of the two divisions respectively. The battle between EU and NA continues.

The father-son relationship between T1 and RNG has been around for a long time, with four BO5s and two BO1s. Facing T1, which still has a big game with a 0 win rate, can RNG rebel once?

Just this year?

Although Zhuge Liang may not take Meng Huo seriously, in Meng Huo's eyes, Zhuge Liang is an old enemy!

RNG and G2 also have an old dispute. In the S8 season, when RNG was extremely close to reaching the top, it was the Black Warrior who stepped on RNG in the quarterfinals.

Similarly, T1 also had a lot of grievances with G2. In the year of S9, T1 tried to recruit a large number of players to form the Galaxy Battleship for the first time. As a result, it was eliminated by the top four of G2 in the MSI and S games.

If it weren't for G2 that year, it would be impossible for Faker to have won four championships.

It was also that year that G2 wiped out T1's meritorious coach and dunker, ushering in a two-year battle for T1.

In addition, the AD player Berserker in the C9 team came from the T1 youth training. Together with Oner and Zeus, they once dominated the youth training academy competition as teammates, which is also a topic of the match.

Calculated in this way, except for RNG and C9 who have little grievances, almost all teams in Group B have their own grievances and grudges between each other.

There has never been a group with such complicated grievances in the history of S competition.

The audience can't wait.

There is a three-day gap between the end of the qualifying round and the start of the group stage. On the 14th and 15th, KT will continue to make appointments with other teams for training matches during the day, and the players will practice individually in the evening.

In addition to ranking, Riot Games also specially launched a super server in the US server during S12 for professional players to train.

This time, only professional players can enter the super server, which can avoid actors and tricks to the greatest extent and ensure the quality of the game environment and training.

However, after two actual experiences after the training match, Lin Cheng didn't like the super server very much.

It’s so troublesome to open the game!

Originally, there were only a few players in the Super League. There were only players from a dozen teams playing, and not all players were online at the same time. You had to contact other players in advance.

Moreover, the super server slowly BPs according to the same round as the competition. It is more troublesome to start the game than the official competition.

The most important thing is that OB is not allowed on the super server. The devil Wanwan still wants to watch Lin Cheng play games.

October 16th is the last day before the start of the group stage.

The entire KT team set out early in the morning to shoot a promotional video for the first day of the group stage.

In the Empire State Building, Times Square, and the Brooklyn Bridge, the team members visited several New York landmarks and completed the filming of the promotional video near noon.

It just so happened that RGE was going to shoot a promotional video today, so Lin Cheng called Malrang to have lunch together.

The two had gotten together before, but at that time it was Lin Cheng who went to Meat Pigeon to have a meal, and this time it was Malrang who went to KT to have a meal.

Malrang has also played in the LCK for a short time, and he basically knows the old guys like KT. Even Rookie, who he has never met before, is not a stranger in the game.

However, Ji Shengxi and Malrang did not know each other. She was parachuted to the club from KT's subsidiary in charge of culture and entertainment in 2021. At that time, KT 1.0 was disbanded.

The old team members appeared, and Chi Shengxi specially took a Vlog to record the dinner.

"Jin Gencheng, if you eat more, how thin will you become?"

Malrang and Lin Cheng looked like bamboo poles standing together. If he hadn't been like this before, Lin Cheng would have almost thought that his old teammate had been mistreated in Europe.

Malrang's character is relatively introverted, and he just smiled and ate the ribs sandwiched by Lin Cheng in front of the camera.

Ji Shengxi curiously asked about interesting stories about the KT1.0 team, and strongly encouraged Malrang to expose Lin Cheng's dark history.

All members of KT pricked up their ears, hoping to hear something exciting.

Malrang was very considerate and did not reveal many embarrassing things about Lin Cheng.

At most, Lin Cheng drank too much and ran out to quarrel with Maomao. In the end, he was so angry that he fainted on the roadside.

Seeing the weird looks in everyone's eyes, Lin Cheng pinched his neck in front of the camera.

"Don't talk nonsense! Didn't I make a fuss and get knocked out? I was obviously drunk and fell asleep."

"You certainly didn't make any noise!"

Lin Cheng was dissatisfied: "Fart! If you let the cat speak human language, I won't be able to quarrel with it?"

Chi Shengxi could no longer hold back any longer.

"Tell me one more thing about Lin Cheng that impressed you the most?"

Malrang thought for a while: "The deepest impression... In 20 years, I celebrated my birthday at the club, and Lin Cheng, who was live broadcasting at night, secretly went to the live broadcast room and gave me a gift of 880,000 Korean won."

"Oh Mo? You know it was a gift from me?"

Lin Cheng's eyes widened, "Hey C! I've always opened a small account just because you don't know."

"Kim Gen-sung was so excited that he cried! I was still laughing at him because he had never seen the world, but he cried with joy when he received rewards from fans."

As a substitute, Malrang's presence in the team was very low, and few fans watched the live broadcast. When Lin Cheng secretly bought gifts at night and left a message of happy birthday, this guy buried his head in front of the camera and burst into tears.

At that time, the relationship between the entire KT team was very good.

That is to say, after Lin Cheng became the main force, the other two top laners in the team were sent to the second team. Their time together was too short compared to others, and their relationship was not that close.

Everyone was surprised to hear that there was such an unknown thing in the team.

Malrang smiled and scratched his head, "Who asked you to write a number like 88? You are the only one around who thinks the number 8 is auspicious."

Lin Cheng suddenly realized that 8 indeed has no special meaning to Koreans.

"Lin Cheng's salary was not high in the first year, and I felt very touched when I thought that my teammates were caring about me."

People are creatures that need emotional interaction. Just like Crown Brother was moved to tears when he saw that there were still people coming to visit him in the live broadcast room. He found that Lin Cheng, who had gone back to the dormitory early to sleep, secretly ran into the live broadcast room to wish himself a happy birthday. Malrang was I was so moved.

"Oh! What can we say about these things in the past...Kim Geun-sung!"

Lin Cheng raised his voice and put his hand around Malrang's neck, "You know you have a TES in Group C, right? Their top laner provoked me shamelessly. Do you know what to do?"

Malrang nodded, raised his palm in front of him, spread his fingers, and slowly clenched them into a fist.

"I'll help you get rid of TES!"

Lin Cheng nodded with satisfaction, then put one eye in front of the camera.

"Dahuang! Just wait to die!"
