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

Chapter 625 Swiss Wheel! Captain Dragonfly! Mr. Kui, black and hard!
Online.

Discussions about this year’s S-Games have been very hot.

There is no way, the momentum shown by these LPL teams this year is too strong, which also makes everyone's discussion about this S-tournament extremely enthusiastic.

And put aside your opinions on each team.

What everyone discusses the most is undoubtedly the group stage format of this S competition-Swiss round.

Yes, for this year’s group stage, Riot Games adopted the Swiss round format for the first time!
It is different from previous group matches.

The Swiss round format is quite unexpected!
The rules of the competition are roughly as follows:

Each of the 16 teams will draw their first-round opponents and engage in a BO1 match. They will not encounter teams from the same division in the first round.

首轮打完，则会出现8支1-0队伍，以及8支0-1队伍。

之后，同分队伍互相抽取对手对战，也就是说1-0的队伍和1-0的队伍打，0-1的队伍和0-1的队伍打。

到了第三轮，同样是2-0的队伍互相打，1-1的队伍互相打，0-2的队伍互相打。

Until a team wins three times, it will advance to the quarterfinals.

If you get three defeats, you will be eliminated.

In addition, regardless of whether you have two wins or two losses, the subsequent games will change from BO1 to BO3.

In short: if you want to advance, you have to win two BO1s and one BO3.

This competition system is undoubtedly subversive compared to the previous group competition system!

The randomness is very strong. It is BO1 after all. There will undoubtedly be more chances of a dark horse appearing in an upset, and there will also be a greater chance of using tricks to steal a win from the strong team in front!

Of course, in order to get the final kick, you still have to pass a BO3 test to be fully promoted!

"In this format, Riot really wants EU to win."

"No, upstairs, you also missed NA."

"Swiss round is really good for European and American teams. Thanks to the black technology, the chance of playing BO1 is greater, and there is no need to be locked into a group with LPL and LCK teams like before, resulting in being unable to qualify."

"Pure surgery? If you say that, I won't be sleepy anymore. What my big WBG is best at is surgery! And usually if you want to have surgery, you will get it! (Squints and smiles)"

"But to be fair, after 13 years, if EU can really win the championship, maybe it can extend the life of the alliance a little longer?"

"Take it down, EU is in such a good shape this year, can they still win the championship? Let's wait until we qualify for the quarterfinals!"

"It doesn't matter if it benefits anyone, I only know that this competition system should be very interesting. A strong team may be eliminated directly if not careful, and a weak team may also have a chance to make a comeback~"

"."

Just like one comment said.

Swiss wheel, not to mention how fair it is.

At least one thing, it is definitely far superior to the previous group stage format.

That's it - ornamental!
In a competition format like the group stage, the chance of an upset is often very low. There is a cycle within the group, and the fault tolerance rate of the strong teams is quite high!

However, the Swiss Wheel is different!
Strong teams fight strong teams, weak teams fight weak teams.

The viewing quality is definitely much higher than the group stage format!

Moreover, if you lose two games due to some black technology or unseen tricks, what comes next will be a BO3 life and death game!

This competition system can be described in two words: exciting!

Amidst such heated discussions.

10 month 10 number.

The finals officially started at the LOL Park venue in Seoul, South Korea.

It has taken several years since it was first built.

Countless LOL events have been hosted here.

And now, it will also serve as the beginning of the S13 World Championship, kicking off this huge event.

10 month 15 number.

The play-in round is over. All 16 teams in the Swiss round have been confirmed.

That night, Riot started the Swiss Round draw ceremony.

It is also from here that an important figure of this S game appears - Captain Dragonfly!
As a staff member of Riot Games, this time the lottery ceremony will be conducted by him and the S4 champion, Samsung’s Mata!
of course.

For now, the nickname 'Captain Dragonfly' has not officially appeared.

Everyone still doesn’t know how much surprise this Riot staff member who looks like a poker face will bring in the future lottery ceremony.
all in all.

When the first round of drawing ceremony ends.

The 16 teams in the Swiss round have all confirmed their first-round opponents.

It is worth mentioning that of the four LPL teams, the remaining three opponents are European and American teams, such as BDS and NRG.

Only BLG!

Their opponent in the first round is the third seed of LCK, KT!

This also led to the fact that the only thing that almost all LPL viewers were worried about on the first day was BLG!

And in fact.

The other three teams did win quite easily.

Only BLG looked extremely anxious in this battle!

As a veteran team in the LCK, KT's strength is obviously something that cannot be underestimated.

The two teams played until 31 minutes, and the head ratio was still 6:6.

The team economy is even more amazingly consistent, 56.5K: 56.5K!

To describe it in four words: evenly matched!
Until 31 and a half minutes.

KT tried to push BLG to the second tower.

At this moment, Abin's Quisanti stepped forward and caught the opponent's AD Kai'Sa's positioning error.

Flash E to face, triple Q to pull back!

Within a second, all the teammates behind him caught up!
Rui'er and Dashu played a complete set of control combos, and in conjunction with Quisanti's ultimate move, they forcibly cut off the opponent's Kai'Sa when he was already able to dodge, attack, and purify!

Not only that.

KT's jungler Zach and mid laner Yanqi, who came to the rescue, couldn't escape either.

A wave of team battles directly broke the originally anxious situation, completely tilting the balance of victory and defeat!

The next development is simple.

Take over the team, control the small dragon, dragon soul, and control the baron to continuously expand the advantages of both sides.

In the subsequent games, Bin's Quisanti was even more crazy!

Control, damage resistance, output, all maxed out!

For example, in a team battle in the middle of the river, even if Elk's Xayah is cut off by the opponent's concentrated fire, it will not affect Quesanti's sword at all. He kills Kai'Sa and Yanque on the opposite side with two swords, and then goes back to clean up the mess.

According to a movie that has been applied for World Heritage status, it is probably: Mr. Kui, black and hard! (thumbs up)
finally.

45 minutes.

KT went to the high ground, and the last wave of team battles began.

Elk's Xayah and Bin's Quisanti played perfectly, playing a wave of zero for five.

At the scene, Wang Duoduo's passionate shouts also resounded in the sky: "This is Elk! This is Abin! The two axes split the road between life and death, and Uncle Kui pioneered the road!"

Next to him, the female commentator also responded excitedly: "Okay!"

Looking at this posture, all I need is another round of applause.
In short, this is the end of the first day of the Swiss Round.

All four LPL teams won!
In all competition regions, this record is unparalleled!
In a sense, it can be regarded as validating the thoughts of many LPL viewers - this year's LPL is terrifyingly strong!
There are many voices on the Internet such as 'conquering the top four' and 'recreating the grand scene of S8 Incheon', and they are becoming louder and louder!
