I just turned eighteen, and you want me to make a comeback?

Chapter 42-Lottery Ceremony, Release of the Poisonous Milk List
The teams from each region participating in the World Championship have been determined, and the draw ceremony is about to take place.

After the draw ceremony, the Flash Wolves will board a plane to Paris.

In the early morning of September 9, all members of the Flash Wolves team were hunched in front of their computer screens.

The person in charge of the draw was OMG's mid laner, Uzi, who traveled across the ocean to Los Angeles, USA.

The first to be announced is the number one seed in each group.

Group A, the No. 1 seed of the North American LCS region, the strongest wing of hope, CLG team.

Group B, the No. 1 seed of the European LCS region, the S world champion, and the e-sports giant FNC team.

Group C, the No. 3 seed of the Korean LCK region, the S1 world champion, SKT T team.

Group D, the number one seed of the Chinese LPL region, LGD team.

When each team appears, they have a glorious past record, including North America's Wings of Hope CLG, and there are also videos of winning the season championship.

But LGD is in an awkward position. Their most glorious record was playing five full games against EDG in the spring season, which was known as the battle between Wu Tian and Buddha. Then there was the video of their championship in the summer season.

As the draw progressed, the other nine teams slowly emerged and arrived at their respective groups.

The second team in Group A, the No. 1 seed in the LMS region, Flash Wolves FW.

The third team, KOO Tigers, is the second seed of LCK.

The Flash Wolves looked at each other in confusion.

Just looking at the names of the first three teams, Group A is already a group of death!

With the two strong teams in the four major divisions and them added, no matter who wants to win, they will be skinned alive.

When the last team of Group A appeared, everyone on Flash Wolves breathed a sigh of relief.

Brazilian wildcard zone, PNG team.

In this case, the situation of Group A is very clear.

South Korea's second-seeded KOO Tigers and CLG, which boasts veteran star Doublelift, who has been competing since the 2012 season, are relatively strong, so the Brazilian championship is unlikely to be an upset.

If they want to advance to the quarterfinals, they must defeat one of the two teams, CLG and KOO!
The prospects for the group stage are bright, and Yuan Shen is not very interested in the remaining groups.

The FNC team leading Group B is also a strong opponent.

In the summer season, FNC set an undefeated record in the regular season. Young player Huni was known as the No. 1 top laner in Europe and killed many opponents in the laning phase. The talented mid laner Febiven and the core player of the team Yellowstar also performed very well during the MSI.

The second draw in Group B was IG.

The third draw is the second seed of the LMS region, AHQ team.

With the star player Simon, AHQ itself is also a veteran and strong team in LMS.

The fourth draw is the third seed of the North American LCS region, the C9 team known as the artistic team!

The team lost three games in a row in the playoffs and came back from 2-0 down to 3-0 twice before entering the World Championship, which made this team one of the weaker teams in the group stage.

"This... is definitely a good sign!"

"IG was drawn into the only group without a Korean team. Isn't this going to take off?"

"What a shame. It would be better if we could switch with EDG."

The barrage in the live broadcast room exploded instantly.

And with Group A and Group B all selected, the remaining groups are already very obvious.

Following the principle of avoiding group matches in the same region, EDG is unlikely to go to Group D and can only face SKT in Group C in advance, while KT will face LGD in Group D.

The final result of the lottery is:
Group A, CLG, KOO, FW, PNG
Group B: FNC, IG, AHQ, C9
Group C: SKT, EDG, H2K, BKT
Group D: LGD, KT, TSM, OG
As soon as the grouping results were announced, the entire League of Legends community instantly became as lively as a boiling pot.

Commentators and players from various regions have been sharing their thoughts on the group stages. Of the four groups, Group C presents the most complex scenario, with EDG and SKT facing off again, and a fateful showdown between Yue Lun and Faker. Of these three teams, SKT has a greater chance of advancing, while EDG and H2K also have a chance. The remaining BKT is a mere runner-up, practically guaranteed to be eliminated in the round of .

In comparison, the situation in Group B is also pretty good. Without the involvement of the Korean team, FNC is far ahead, and IG and AHQ are competing for the second place in the group.

Group A and Group D are absolute groups of death.

FW, KOO, and CLG are all at the top of their regions and have impressive strength.

Group D is even more outrageous. As the champion of LPL, LGD is extremely competitive.

TSM and KT are not ordinary teams either, and OG should not be underestimated either.

KT is the runner-up team of LCK, and the top laner Ssumday is the absolute core, perfectly fitting the current version of the World Championship.

The TSM team, known as the North American cult, has Bjergsen as its core player, but their performance in the summer season was not very good.

OG team is considered to be the second best team after FNC in the entire European LCS region.

XPeke, Sister-in-law, Amzing and others are all regular participants in the World Championships. When they left FNC to establish OG at the beginning of the year, no one would have thought that they could get to this point today.

……

On September 19th, the Flash Wolves arrived in Paris, France.

Unlike teams like SKT, EDG, CLG and others who had many fans welcoming them at the airport, the Flash Wolves hardly attracted much attention when they arrived in Paris.

The group quickly headed to the hotel officially booked by the event and dropped off their luggage.

"Damn it, how come there aren't any fans? I even specially prepared a mask and a baseball cap."

Karsa couldn't help but complain.

"This is your first time competing in a competition. Who knows you?"

Maple didn't indulge Karsa at all, but he couldn't help but envy the lively scene of fans welcoming SKT and EDG at the airport.

“This hotel is quite good.”

Yuan Shen looked around the hotel environment and nodded involuntarily.

Riot booked a five-star hotel in Paris for this World Championship. A room costs at least NT$5,000 a day, and each person has a single room.

Zhou Luxi participated in the S3 World Championship and was also amazed, feeling that the treatment of e-sports players is getting better every year.

In the past two years, the teams that participated in the competition had to find their own hotels, and if the teams wanted to train, they had to find an Internet cafe locally.

But if you think about it carefully, Riot has indeed made a lot of money in the past two years, so it probably won't be short of money.

Each set of champion skin can earn at least several million, and with Tencent's share acquisition and financing, the league is becoming more and more popular.

"We and AHQ are both on the seventh floor. The same is true for LPL and LCK. The team training rooms are on the 12th floor, with each team having their own room. All the scrimmages during the group stage are played there."

Zhanma arranged some tasks and reminded everyone of things they needed to pay attention to. It was the first time for the Flash Wolves, including Yuan Shen, to participate in the World Championship, and everyone felt extremely novel.

In the evening, Riot Games and ESPN jointly released two rankings.

——S5 World Championship Team Power Rankings
——S5 contestant strength rankings.

This is the ranking that Riot releases every year at the World Championship, and it’s not surprising.

Instead, many are waiting for this year's rankings.

As long as the articles involve rankings and the world's number one, there will never be a lack of popularity and traffic.

Moreover, the rankings released by Riot have always had a special feature.

That is poisonous milk.
