League of Legends: Arrow of Champions

Chapter 758 [779] Lottery, Hell Mode
It is easy to go from frugal to extravagant, but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal. The extravagant and frugal in this sentence can actually be extended to many meanings. In many cases, this process is subtle, and it is difficult for the parties to detect it.

The same is true for Lin Xuan.

Of course, even if Jiang Yingxue didn't point it out, after a day or two, Lin Xuan would be able to figure out what the problem was, but Jiang Yingxue's behavior was naturally not superfluous, and Lin Xuan was still very grateful.

In the final analysis, it is a matter of "mind". If you think about it, you will be fine. Mencius said it well, you should be brave after you know your shame. After the meeting, you should train, eat, and chat.

After qualifying in Group A in the afternoon, there will be a draw for the quarter-finals. Each team will have a representative present. The LPL finally chose Lin Xuan to go, and the Yulong team is Alley. They can be called their respective teams. A very popular representative of the team.

This is probably because the TL team's chances of qualifying are slim. After all, it is the LPL's home court, and it needs someone who can stand on the field. Otherwise, the other teams on the field are familiar faces, and the LPL itself does not have much popularity. Isn't it embarrassing.

When Lin Xuan and Ailey arrived at the backstage of the venue, it was already past [-]:[-] pm. The last match between TL and ANX was over. TL was eliminated, which also meant that there was no stoppage in Group A, and XM and ANX advanced to the quarterfinals.

The last match was XM playing TJ. Regardless of the result of the match, XM will advance to the first place in the group, while TJ will not qualify. Therefore, both sides played very bold and entertaining, basically from the beginning to the end.

After the results of Group A came out, all the places for the quarter-finals were determined, namely:

XM first in group A, ANX second in group A
Group B first Loong, Group B second VCR
STR first in Group C, SKY second in Group C
Crane first in Group D, ASG second in Group D
The lottery rules for the group stage are avoidance in the same competition area, and the draw for the top eight is avoidance in the same group. That is to say, teams from the same group will never meet in advance unless they reach the final at the same time.

According to the rule that the first in the group plays the second in the other group, SKY's opponents must be among XM, Yulong, STR, and Crane. The latter two are undoubtedly the favorites to win the championship, and they have almost swept all the previous global finals. The champion, the Yulong team also won the respect and attention of everyone by virtue of their super performance in the group stage, and they are also one of the favorites to win the championship.

This is something SKY doesn't want to meet, so their ideal lottery result is undoubtedly against XM.

Although the Vietnam Division has performed well in the past two years, compared with the latter three teams, its deterrence is undoubtedly much worse.

After the game, when the three commentators were discussing, the key points about SKY were basically based on this. For the Yulong team, among the three second-ranking teams in the group (the second-ranking team in the same group will not meet ), there is no doubt that the last person you want to meet is SKY, and it is best to be able to draw ANX.

Avoiding the strong and the weak is what everyone wants, but everything depends on the final result of the lottery.

After the scene was set up, Lin Xuan and the representatives of the other seven teams walked onto the stage. The first group stood on one side, and the second group stood on the other side, waiting for the result of the lottery to come out and hold hands.

"After half a month of fierce competition, the top eight teams in this year's global finals have finally been born. They are:
"The XM team from the VCS division"

"The Loong team from the LPL Division"

"The STR team from the LCK"

"The Crane team from the LCK Division"

"ANX team from the LCL Division"

"The VCR team from the LCK Division"

"The SKY team from the LPL Division"

"The ASG team from the LCS Division."

Every time Fang Yao read the name of a team, the representative of the team would wave hello to the cheers of the audience. Teams from other divisions did not receive a cold reception, especially XM and ANX, which eliminated the No. [-] seed of LPL For the team, the cheers were even higher than those of the No. [-] seed VCR in the LCK and the No. [-] seed ASG in the NA division.

When the names of the two teams, Loong and SKY, were heard, the cheers on the scene were almost overwhelming, giving the two LPL teams enough home court advantage.

The guests in charge of the lottery were retired players from two LPL divisions, from Spring and 419 respectively. There were four metal balls in the two glass jars in front of him, with the names of the four teams inside.

The number one seed is drawn first.

After the first metal ball was opened, the displayed label read Crane, and then the logo and name of the Crane team appeared in the upper left corner of the big screen.

After the second metal ball was opened, the displayed label read XM, and then the logo and name of the XM team appeared in the lower left corner of the big screen.

The two No. [-] seeds in the left half of the district have been confirmed. At the same time, the two No. [-] seeds in the right half of the district have also been determined. So far, the draw for the No. [-] seed can be said to be finalized.

After the third metal ball was opened, the label that came out read STR, and then the logo and name of STR appeared in the upper right corner of the big screen.

After the fourth metal ball was opened, a label that read Loong was displayed, and then Loong's logo and name appeared in the lower right corner of the big screen.

Next, the No. [-] seed will be drawn, and the battle list will be announced soon.

"Just get the VCR."

Most LPL viewers have an instinctive "hostility" mentality towards LCK. This hostility does not mean prejudice, but the feeling of being an opponent. This feeling also often appears between domestic brands and the strongest foreign brands in other industries. , LPL's opponent is LCK.

The second team drawn from the first group will play Crane, and VCR is the only LCK team in the second group, so everyone naturally hopes to let the LCK go to the civil war, including many participating players, whether it is the No. [-] team in other groups No. [-] or No. [-] in the group, they don't want to meet these two powerful enemies.

"VCR!"

"VCR!"

Whether it was live or before the live broadcast, many people couldn't help but start thinking about it, looking forward to the LCK civil war. In the temporary training room of the hotel, the SKY players who watched the live broadcast of the lottery were also looking forward to it.

"VCR! VCR!"

Liu Handong, Xue Yunqi, Zhang Heng and even Ren Fan were all thinking about it, and then at the next moment, almost at the same time, there were a few people in the training room who cursed: "Damn it!"

Liu Handong even stood up directly, and then sat down again, only to find that the chair was pushed back when he just stood up, and he sat directly on the floor, but few people noticed this funny scene.

Among the four teams ranked second in the group, the first one to be drawn, that is, Crane's opponent, is... SKY!

"Fuck!"

"Isn't this too much?"

The game viewing hall of Qianqian Internet Cafe exploded, and the bullet screen in the live broadcast room was even colder. If judged by the performance in the group stage, SKY may not even have a [-]% chance of winning against Crane.

At the last moment, everyone was looking forward to the LCK civil war, but in the blink of an eye, SKY bumped into it.

For the LPL, this is almost the best of the lottery!
The audience seats were also full of sighs, and even the commentary seats were stunned for a moment, and the atmosphere froze for a moment.

A dark red word "Battle" appeared on the big screen, and the names of Crane and SKY appeared on both sides at the same time, and then the animation zoomed out, returning to the upper left corner of the top eight battle map.

Lin Xuan is naturally not as pessimistic as the outside world. It is indeed not a good thing to face Crane in the quarterfinals, but it does not make him lose his temper. He calmly walked towards the representative of the first team of the group.

The representative sent by Crane was Li Yifan. When he heard that the opponent in the quarter-finals was SKY, he didn't show any strange expression on his face. Lin Xuan walked over. The people walked to the battle area next to them together—actually, it was a marked circle, which represented that these two people were in a group.

"This……"

The three commentators today are all new commentators. Everyone knows that with SKY's current state, bumping into Crane is basically a situation of going home. However, because of this, the three of them didn't know how to speak for a while.

After hesitating for a while, Xin Xin said first: "For SKY, the situation of this lottery is not very optimistic, but it's not over yet, so no one can say for sure."

"Yes, although SKY lost to STR, it's hard to say that SKY made a mistake. It can only be said that STR played better."

Something was wrong with Xin Xin at the beginning, another male commentator followed her rhythm, and suddenly turned the direction of the wind even more crooked. Opened the topic.

"The second group is second, ANX... They are in the same group as XM, so they can't be placed in the left half, and they will be transferred directly to the right half."

The second drawn group is ANX, because they were in the same group as XM, they avoided the same group, they were directly transferred to the right half, and their opponent was STR... For STR, this is completely guaranteed to the semi-finals.

Although with STR's hard power, it is a certainty to enter the semi-finals, but this lottery still makes people feel a little uncomfortable.

The third group was drawn second, it was VCR, it was placed in the lower left corner, and the opponent was XM.

"Damn it, is this the semi-finals again?"

"Isn't Madan really unlucky?"

"Is the top four LCK going to occupy three more? Paralyzed labor and management don't care about it."

"The hand of death!"

I just drew a lottery for the LPL, and then immediately gave the lottery to the LCK. The guests who drew the lottery suddenly became the opponents of some audiences. Of course, most of these people also understand that it’s no wonder they just need a The object of finding fault may not necessarily be malicious.

Now that the three groups of battles have been determined, there is no suspense about the opponent of the Yulong team, the No. [-] seed ASG in the North American Division.

It is certainly difficult for SKY to advance, but for the Yulong team, promotion is also not an easy task. Although they lost to Crane, they are not invincible in the first battle. possible.

When the results of the lottery grouping came out, there was a lot of wailing on the Internet that night. The keywords of "the top eight lottery draw" were listed on the hot search, and they squatted at the top of the list for nearly seven hours. It was not until noon the next day that the popularity slowly dropped.

NO.17 draws lots, the quarter-finals start on the 21st, and the match between SKY and Crane is on the first day, that is to say, they only have three days to prepare for the match despite all the chores.

　Because the author's level is not enough, writing the game has to learn from reality, and the content of the previous chapter has nothing to do with how to lose.

　　In addition, the selection of materials has nothing to do with any team's fight. Readers are also free to follow a certain team, as long as they don't let their emotions affect others.

　　Now that the game is mentioned, by the way, I personally think that this year RNG and SKT will meet in the finals with a high probability. If there is an accident, it should be G2, and the champion should also be produced among these three teams.

　　Anyway, it's about to end, and it's irresponsible to guess wrong, hahaha I still owe so many chapters and haven't paid it back.
