LOL: I am a steady person, and I am full of attributes at the beginning

Chapter 546: LPL’s Great Reconciliation of the Century! Death team? you said I?

Not long after the promotional video came out.

The schedule of this S competition has also been officially released by Riot Games.

As before, the first thing to be held is still the 'informal competition', which is the qualifying competition.

A total of 12 teams selected from the third seeds from several major competition regions, plus other wild card regions, will compete together.

In the end, four teams will qualify for the group stage.

And worth mentioning.

After the schedule was announced, the league official also issued an announcement:
[In view of LPL’s successful victory in the S8 World Championship and its excellent performance in various international competitions last year, the three LPL teams will directly enter the group stage of this S Championship without participating in the qualifying rounds. 】

You know, the official has not yet issued clear rules for skipping the finals.

In the past, when the LCK received this privilege, the official explanation was that it was decided based on the performance of each division in international competitions in the past two years.

And this year, it is obvious that the official has officially placed the LPL above the LCK!

Therefore, when the announcement came out, the entire domestic Internet was in a state of excitement!
"Damn it, it's finally our turn to advance to the group stage!"

"LPL's international event last year? Isn't that what I'm talking about? Last year's IG Grand Slam."

"In other words, RNG doesn't have to compete in the playoffs?"

"His old emperor is in tears, thank you IG (put your hands together)"

"It's hard to stretch, haha~"

No one expected that the biggest contributor to RNG's reaching the top 16 this year would be his old rival, IG!

This is the great reconciliation of the century between Huang Za and Ji Za!
Even worse.

On the IG side, Lu Chen and others also received a message of thanks from RNG on WeChat.
Of course, it was sent by the player and not an official thank you from the club.

It's probably something like 'Thank you IG for sending me the top 16', 'Let's have a meal together next time we meet'.

And wait until September 9th.

That night, the official live broadcast room, which had been repeatedly broadcasting the LPL regular season, finally had new live content.

——Draw lots!
Not only the group draws for the qualifying rounds, but also the groups for the group stage will be drawn in advance!
19: 00.

The official live broadcast room started on time.

In an instant, countless spectators poured in!

"Come on, come on~!"

"The requirements are not high, just don't have a civil war!!"

"Brother, can you have some common sense? How can there be a civil war in the group stage?"

"Ah? Is that so? What else is there to see?"

"Of course it depends on which group is this year's death group!"

"."

After a while.

On the stage, two guests officially invited by Riot Games appeared.

One is FNC's former top laner Soaz (nicknamed sister-in-law), who is a 'living fossil' player in the European division. He played from Season 1 to Season 8 and retired only this year.

The other one is Yamato Cannon, the coach of the VIT team who failed to reach the S competition this year.

The two took the stage at the invitation of the host, and first drew lots for the finals.

Wait until the play-in groupings are determined.

The main event is coming.

group matches!
The first is the four groups, A, B, C, and D.

In each group, one team is directly determined - the No. 1 seed in the four major divisions.

Group A G2, Group B FPX, Group C SKT, Group D TL.

All that needs to be drawn are the other two positions within each group.

Soon, Soaz took out the note of the first team from the kit, faced the camera, and slowly unfolded it: GRF!

Then the second one: JT! (J Team, the team name changed after Jaylen acquired Assassin Star)

The third, the fourth, the fifth.
As teams were drawn one after another, the hearts of the audience in the live broadcast rooms of each major competition area were gradually lifted.

When the last sign is confirmed.

On the big screen, the final group results are announced!
Group A: G2, GRF, C9, X
Group B: FPX, JT, GAM, X
Group C: SKT, FNC, IG, X
Group D: TL, AHQ, RNG, X
Results are presented. For a moment, the public screen in the live broadcast room was almost full of '666'!
"What the hell? FPX and RNG are invincible!"

"God's hand, sister-in-law, I approve of you!"

"I am now very willing to believe that there is no shady secret in the official draw (squinting smile)"

"Tianhu starts!"

At this moment, it’s hard to say what the mood of the audience in other competition regions is, but at least the mood of the LPL audience is definitely quite surprising!

Look, Group B and Group D!
What the hell, there isn’t even a strong team in the group!
What is the difference between FPX and RNG and being sent out? !

If last year's IG was a destiny circle, then this year, LPL has two destiny circles!
of course.

When everyone looks back and sees the situation of Group C, their mood will inevitably be a little complicated.

FNC, SKT, IG
The names of the three teams in this group are louder than the last.

Get together.

Everyone even had an inexplicable sense of déjà vu as they were watching the peak match of the three major regions.

"Scared to death, isn't Group C too deadly?!"

"Indeed, I have never seen a more exaggerated grouping than this."

"True Death Team!"

"IG, danger!"

"Hey, will IG overturn in the group stage?"

In the World Championship, everything is possible.

Not to mention the group stage where the intensity was extremely high!
Even IG can unconsciously make some people worried.

However, there are many people who object.

"IG: Group of Death? Are you talking about me? (Spread your hands)"

"Is there a possibility that IG itself is the reason for the formation of the death group?"

"I suggest you don't panic first, because the other two are definitely more panicked than you~"

"."

In fact, it’s exactly what these barrages say.

There are indeed people who are more panicked than the LPL side.

Over in the LCK, SKT fans were almost wailing.

"Xiba, why are you in the same group as those lunatics!"

On the EU side, FNC fans felt even more desperate.

"IG plus SKT, it's over, I seem to have seen the ending of FNC!"

how to say.

If I have to describe it, IG is probably a source of plague now, an existence that everyone who sees it wants to walk around and doesn't want to touch.

In a sense, this is also a symbol of strength.

With the grouping results determined.

Teams from all major competition areas are once again engaged in crazy preparations.

All teams participating in the S competition are training almost day and night and do not dare to take it lightly!
Various related discussions and posts began to fill the entire Internet.

"Double Destiny Circles?" Don't be too optimistic! Let you analyze the rollover probability of FPX and RNG. 》

"The Strongest Death Team in History!" Can IG break through and become king again? 》

"Another neglected death group - Group A, a rational analysis of G2's winning rate against Griffin. 》

"Last year's top eight, smiling until this year, RNG's last chance, can it avenge its shame?" 》

"."

In the midst of such commotion.

The whole month of September has quietly come to an end.

October is coming!

And on October 10, the day the qualifying rounds started, everyone at IG also boarded a plane flying to Berlin, Germany.
