LOL: Do you have any regrets?

Chapter 233 The opening game against Samsung!
There are more than a dozen small silver balls in the drawer, and these balls can be unfolded.

Chen Luoyang reached in and took out one, and everyone at the scene immediately fell silent.

Grouping is critical for every team, even EDG.

Although it is said that if you want to win the championship, you must not be afraid of any team, but if you expose too much in the group stage, the subsequent games will be more difficult to play.

Chen Luoyang slowly unfolded the silver ball in his hand, and the host read out: "EDG!"

Chen Luoyang could still understand these three letters, so he turned over and took a look, only to find that it was really the team logo of EDG!
Chen Luoyang reached down and took out one, unfolded it again, and the audience became restless. After showing it for a while, Chen Luoyang turned it over and took a look, only to find that it was ROX!

ROX has a good record in the LCK this season, second only to SKT in strength. In fact, their early rhythm is much stronger than SKT, but they have some problems in handling team fights, and they are always overturned by SKT.

But the problem is not big, according to the rules, the four he took out are not in a group, ROX was directly placed in group B, and now EDG is in group A.

Chen Luoyang drew lots again. This time, the audience's reaction was obviously more enthusiastic than before.

Chen Luoyang turned it over and looked, only to find that it was SKT!

In this way, SKT was directly assigned to Group C.

At this time, in the official live broadcast room, the barrage has been brushed up:
"What kind of luck is the leader? It's a team that specializes in picking ruthless people, right?"

"Should I be directly assigned to a group, or it will be troublesome."

"What are you afraid of? Now that the LCK is the second division, is it necessary for the first division to be afraid of the second division?"

"Could the leader select all the LCK teams in the first round?"

"Come on, the teams that can't beat the LCK in the group stage are so boring."

Now the strength of EDG has made the fans a little inflated. In their eyes, if they can't meet the LCK team in the group stage, it will be too boring.

It would be best if an LCK team could be eliminated in the group stage, then the mentality of the LCK would explode.

At this moment, Chen Luoyang took out the fourth small ball, and now he only wanted to pray that it wouldn't be a three-star ball.

If it was Samsung, their group would really not be able to meet anyone from the LCK.

For Chen Luoyang, it is only challenging to play against LCK teams, Europe and the United States now have something to eat.

Chen Luoyang unfolded the silver ball in his hand, this time the audience's reaction was much colder.

Seeing the audience's reaction, Chen Luoyang also knew that it was definitely not Samsung!
Although it is said that Samsung White and Samsung Blue have been disbanded, many of their fans have been inherited by this Samsung.

So if the three stars were drawn, the reaction of the people at the scene would not be so indifferent.

Chen Luoyang turned over and took a look, only to find that it wasn't Samsung, it was IG!

Although IG also reached the semi-finals in LPL, after all, it is the first time to participate in an international competition, and it is understandable that they are not popular abroad.

After Chen Luoyang finished drawing, he took the initiative to walk down after four small balls, and stood at his original position.

At the host's invitation, Faker stepped up.

Faker also needs to draw four small balls, the rules are the same, starting from group A.

If it is a team from the same division, it will be postponed to the next half division.

Everyone began to get nervous. Chen Luoyang glanced at Ah P and Bilson next to him. He found that the two were muttering something. smile.

Chen Luoyang suddenly came to his senses, guessing that they must want their rivals in the competition area to be assigned to the EDG group.

After all, they have played against EDG for half a month in training games, and they have never won a game. They are very clear about EDG's current strength. Whoever is placed in the EDG group is basically competing with the other two teams for No.2.

After faker took out the ball and slowly unfolded it, Chen Luoyang recognized the team logo on faker's hand at a glance, Samsung!

Chen Luoyang laughed when he saw this. He was actually quite worried that Samsung would run away. Samsung was also unlucky because it was drawn by faker.

Samsung is considered a deadly enemy in LCK and SKT, the kind that will never die.

Chen Luoyang suddenly noticed that there seemed to be a smile on Faker's face, and he was very satisfied with his luck.

Faker quickly pulled out another three, then stepped down and replaced Ah P.

At this time, G2 has not been drawn, so Ah P looks very nervous.

G2 is the No. 2 seed like EGD and SKT, so if he gets G[-], he will be postponed to the second group, which is the group where ROX is.

It is also quite tricky to deal with them, and now ROX is coming menacingly.

Ah P took out a small ball and unfolded it. Chen Luoyang recognized it at a glance, C9.

Chen Luoyang was a little impressed with this team, because he was known as the Light of North America.

So I have been beaten by TSM, but the results in the S game are often better than TSM.

It can be said that it is a big-game team, experts in foreign wars, and amateurs in civil wars.

Ah P drew another one, and as a result, G2, his own team, was directly drawn out.

So inevitably, G2 was placed in Group C, the group where ROX was.

Ah P looked desperate, as if he felt that he was no match for ROX.

Having drawn out his own team, it was no longer a burden for him. After quickly drawing out two small balls, Ah P also walked down.

Last up was Pilsen.

At this time, there were only four teams left. As soon as Bilson came on stage, he directly drew out AHQ.

AHQ is the No. [-] seed in the LMS division, and it does not conflict with EDG, so it was directly placed in Group A where EDG is located.

In this way, Group A is completely determined: EDG, SSG, C9, AHQ.

Then, Bilson drew a second silver ball, and Group B was completely determined: ROX, G2, H2K, ANX.

Pilsen continued to draw, and Group C was also determined: SKT, IM, RNG, SPY.

There is no suspense in the last group: IG, INTZ, TSM, FW.

In this way, the lottery ceremony is over.

Of course, for the major teams, now is just a new beginning.

After the grouping is determined, the next thing to do is to analyze the teams in the same group.

For most teams, their goal is to qualify first, so some special strategies must be adopted.

If you feel that you will not be able to beat the most powerful team in the same group, then you can consider putting most of your energy on the other two teams, after all, there are two places.

Chen Luoyang was satisfied with this grouping, so he naturally wanted to keep SKT out of the group stage.

But everyone is the No. [-] seed, which is obviously impossible.

At the same time, it also depends on the performance of the other two teams in the same group. The probability of other teams winning SKT is not high.

But Chen Luoyang thought about it again, the current LCK team in the same group is Samsung.

There is still a lot of gap between Samsung and SKT. There is no way to block SKT in the group stage, but blocking Samsung may be possible.

Half an hour later, Chen Luoyang followed the army back to the hotel, all the way to his room.

As a result, just as he was about to open the door, Abu’s room door opened. The factory manager poked his head out to look at it, and then said, “You’re back? Come here quickly.”

Chen Luoyang came to Abu's room, only to find that everyone else had already arrived.

And the atmosphere is good, everyone seems to be very satisfied with the result.

I saw Abu said: "You're lucky, help us draw Samsung over."

Ah Shui said: "Why don't you smoke a ROX, I don't think Samsung is a challenge."

After hearing this, the factory director complained: "Isn't Samsung even challenging? Are you already so inflated?"

Meikou said earnestly: "Young people should keep a low profile and take it step by step."

Seeing this, Abu said: "Actually, it's pretty good to get a three-star team. The three-star team is very good at backhands, so let's highlight a wretched one."

"So we can use him to exercise our offensive ability. If we can break Samsung in the early stage, it proves that our early rhythm is quite good."

Chen Luoyang agreed: "I think the same way. Although this version is not very suitable for fast-break lineups, there is no need to drag it down against teams like Samsung."

"Why are you so reckless, I am going to test how we are practicing now."

Everyone in EDG nodded, as if they agreed with what Chen Luoyang said.

Abu continued: "Now that the groups have come out, you should study the teams in the same group first, especially Samsung. Of course, you should also pay attention to the other two teams. Everything is possible in the World Championship, and you should not underestimate the enemy."

"Also, according to Riot's habit, most of them will put us in the opening game, so we must be prepared to show our momentum in the first game and announce the return of the king!"

Everyone in EDG didn't expect that Abramovich would say such burning words, and they became excited all of a sudden.

After a few more confessions, Abu announced the end of the meeting, and Chen Luoyang went back to his room, then turned on the phone and started practicing.

Maybe there are other arrangements for tomorrow, so I can only hurry up.

More than ten days passed by, just as Abu guessed, after Riot announced the schedule of the group stage, everyone found that EDG was scheduled for the opening match, and the team against was Samsung!

EDG is the champion of S5, and Samsung is the champion of S4. This topic alone can attract a lot of heat.

In addition, the current LPL and LCK divisions are in dire straits, and no one wants to lose to the other, so after the schedule was announced, heated discussions arose.

Chen Luoyang received many private messages from fans that day, asking him to show his full strength, and no one can lose to LCK.

At noon this day, after everyone in EDG had lunch at the hotel, they got on the bus and went straight to the game site!

After more than ten minutes of driving, the bus of EDG people stopped at the entrance of the venue, which immediately attracted the attention of many audiences.

Chen Luoyang discovered that EDG still had a lot of fans here, and many of them entered the arena with EDG support signs.

After getting off the car, everyone in EDG, led by the staff, walked all the way to the lounge.

Everyone put down their things and gathered around Abu.

At this time, Abu also had a serious face, and he said: "All adjust your mentality, don't be nervous, just play to your normal level."

"Especially the new players, you have to fight yourself as the champion of S5, they are the challengers."

Abu said and looked at Ah Shui.

Hearing this, Ah Shui smiled and saw him reply: "You are not worried about my lack of confidence, are you? Even if the factory has no confidence, I will not lose confidence."

The factory manager on the side was stunned for a moment, and then complained: "Can this also reach me by AOE?"

Everyone in EDG laughed when they saw this, and the atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

Abramovich continued: "During this period of time, we have replayed a lot of Samsung games. I won't talk nonsense about things that are too detailed. Just one point, don't play slowly with them when facing Samsung."

"In the early stage, they were beaten wave after wave, and they were stunned, and then they got confused by their own opportunities."

"Once the momentum completely overwhelms them, the rest will be a matter of course."

Chen Luoyang nodded after hearing this. He was impressed by the weakness of Samsung's team.

It can't be said to be weak, but to be precise, it is rigid. Once the rhythm is disrupted, it will be played in various ways.

Defensive towers can be placed, dragons can be placed, high grounds can be placed, and even front tooth towers can be placed.

Anyway, as long as they feel that the key equipment has not been released and they can't fight now, they will keep avoiding the battle, just a word, procrastination.

So the best way for EDG is to keep attacking, so that Samsung can't hold back.

On the other side, in the game commentary booth, Wawa and Miller were ready.

I saw the baby explaining: "Audience friends, the opening match of the S6 League of Legends finals is about to begin. The king from the LPL division, the champion of the S5 global finals, the S6 MSI champion EDG, and the SSG from the LCK division!"

Miller: "This game hasn't started yet, I saw various analysis on the Internet, combined with the situation of the training game revealed now, it highlights an uncertainty!"

"This year's situation is very special. The LCS and LEC teams are training in the LPL, while the teams from other divisions are training in the LCK, which leads to a completely different understanding of the game on both sides!"

"This is the first time they have collided, and no one can tell whose understanding is better."

Baby; "So this game is very critical, not only related to these two teams, but also to the teams they train. Just imagine, if Samsung is hanged, what will happen to those teams training with the LCK?"

Miller: "It must be very desperate. Of course, if EDG loses, it will be bad news for the teams in the European and American divisions."

"I guess other teams are staring at this game now, they might be more nervous than EDG and Samsung!"

Wawa: "Okay, without further ado, let's enter a promotional video."

As soon as the words fell, the promotional video of S6 started!

The first professional player to appear in the camera is the junior, who looks quite immature, followed by faker.

Seeing this sequence of appearances, the barrage began to mock:

"Isn't the elementary school boy used to be faker's substitute? Why is he still ranked in front of faker?"

"Don't bully young people to be poor, others have turned around now."

"I heard he hasn't played a single game in the LCK."

"So this is a player trained by our LPL, and Jusheng Huainan is Ju."

Faker showed his face for a relatively long time, and the official gave him enough respect.

Then there are Bilson and Ah P. This time, they are the No. [-] seeded mid laners in the four major regions!
