Chapter 287: The Group of Death
After watching the teams from Europe and the Americas, I set my sights on the last sub-division, which brings together Oceania, Africa and some island countries.
One of them was Australia's HOPE team, which made it all the way through the top laner under the leadership of their top laner and became one of the brightest teams in the wild card division. And Lie's strength is very strong, although not as stable as Hill as a rock, but his hero pool is unfathomable, and his ability is very comprehensive, no matter what type of top laner he can play a great role in his hands, no less Kerry team.
Another pinnacle team is the Seahorse team from New Zealand, which is not low in the world team rankings and is a very strong team. Especially their assistant melody, strong command ability and cooperation with their own jungler to carry out wild assistant double tour, it is easy to drive the rhythm of the early stage and win the whole game, so on the side of Oceania, he is called M God.
Although these two teams are from the wild card region, their strength is obvious to all, and they are two real super players!
In addition to these two teams in the Wild Card Division, the other eight teams are all non-peak teams, but they are all some strength, and three of them are from faraway Africa and are three teams composed of black people.
The emergence of black people represents the increasing internationalization of League of Legends, and the fact that African teams can break into this kind of world stage means that the influence of League of Legends has gradually expanded to every corner of the world.
It took me a few hours to digest the information Qin Fan gave me one by one, and I was particularly attentive to the other fifteen peak teams, these teams were the biggest enemies on our way forward.
The opening ceremony of the S7 World Finals was on April 2nd, and in the past few days, Yang Baikun and I were all pondering the information that Qin Fan gave us, after all, once the competition started, we had to deal with every enemy wholeheartedly, and there was not so much time to read the information again.
On the morning of April 2, the opening ceremony of the finals, we followed Qin Fan to the Super Universe E-sports Stadium in South Korea, which is the largest e-sports venue in South Korea, and its scale is no less than the Dome E-sports Stadium in Tokyo, Japan, and even surpasses it.
When we arrived at the entrance of the Universe E-sports Stadium, before we could go in, we could see a large group of fanatical fans blocking the entrance of the E-sports Stadium, shouting the names of various teams, some of them holding flags with the names of the teams they supported, and in the crowd, we even heard people shouting the names of our teams.
When I saw this scene on the sidelines, I secretly smacked my tongue, this South Korea is worthy of being a big country of e-sports, and the enthusiasm of fans is several notches higher than that of domestic fans.
The enthusiasm of this fan will also affect the performance of the team to some extent, if our team comes here to participate in the competition, those fans are all going for other teams, and no one pays attention to us, then our enthusiasm for participating in the S7 Finals will definitely be hit a bit. But if we come and the screams and shouts of those fans are for us, our morale will definitely be boosted.
Luckily, we won a group of fans in the LPL regional points tournament and our watch in the Asian qualifiers, so we won't be left out in the cold when we come to this esports stadium.
I have to say that this Korean fan is really enthusiastic, especially the female fan, who rushed up to ask for an autograph screaming, and the posture couldn't be stopped, which scared me. But fortunately, there are special security guards to stop this one, otherwise, those excited fans would have to eat us esports players alive.
Under the cover of the security personnel, we, the e-sports players, finally managed to make a bloody way into the Super Universe E-sports Stadium in the fan base.
The power of this fan is really scary.
As soon as we entered the Hyper Space E-sports Stadium, transparent and bright lights poured down from the ceiling, illuminating the way forward for us.
The internal structure of this e-sports hall is similar to that of the Dome E-sports Stadium, with four huge electronic screens hanging down from the ceiling in the middle, and in the center of the e-sports stadium is a huge square, and the others are not much different.
When our 32 teams came to the center of the square, the lights around us flashed, and then the dark blue neon lights began to flicker in the e-sports stadium.
"Welcome! The 7th League of Legends World Championship will be held in the land of Seoul, where there is no gunsmoke, but there is an exciting battle, and everyone ......"
As the opening ceremony, the opening remarks must be wanted, but this thing sounds like a real waste of time to me, and it is not enough to announce the start of the finals directly, there is a lot of nonsense. Of course, I just said it in my heart, this is all face-saving work, and I still have to do enough, otherwise where will I put the face of the Korean official?
After listening to the host's opening remarks during the day, he finally began to introduce the 32 teams participating in this competition, and as he introduced a team, there would be lights shining on that team, similar to the opening ceremony of the Asian Qualifiers, but this time, looking at us, it was everyone in the world who loved League of Legends! And we also made a big splash at the opening ceremony of the S7 World Finals after the Asian Qualifiers!
People all over the world can see us standing on this stage, and it would be extremely proud to say it! In the seven years from S1 to S7, how many people can stand here and face the world? We did it!
The opening ceremony was boring, and we could only sit down and wait patiently, and two hours later, when I was about to fall asleep, the opening ceremony was finally over, and the next thing was to make us all nervous, and we were going to have a group draw!
"This time, the 32 teams in the S7 finals are divided into 8 groups, with four teams in each group, and only the top of each group can qualify for the quarterfinals, and all three of them will be eliminated!"
Hearing the host's words, our hearts are all in the air, this time the game is really difficult, in the past, the top two teams in the group stage of the S Series Finals can qualify, and now only the top place can qualify, which is undoubtedly a lot more difficult.
"Now please ask the captains of all teams to come and choose the number, this group, the four teams in each group are from different regions."
As soon as I heard this, I quickly got up and walked with Yin Ziwen and them to the place where the lot was drawn, where there were four transparent square glass containers lined up, each with eight small balls in it, but the color of the balls in each glass container was different.
Seeing us coming, the host immediately said, "The people from the Asian division will draw the white ball, the American region will draw the black ball, the European region will draw the golden ball, and the people from the sub-division will draw the purple ball, and those who get the ball should return to their own team." ”⑧±(.*)⑧±⑧±,o
As soon as the words ended, the people from the four divisions went to their respective places to pick up the numbers, and I came to the square glass container with the white balls, stretched out my hand, grabbed a small ball, and went back.
The probability of drawing lots is the same first, and it depends on luck which group you can draw into.
After everyone was back in their teams, the host began to divide into groups, "Next, please come up to the team that got the No. 1 ball." ”
I looked down and opened the ball in my hand, and there was a four written on the inside wall of the ball, and it seemed that we were in the fourth group.
Soon, after the teams of the first three groups were determined, the host asked the person who got the No. 4 ball to come to the stage.
Hearing this, I raised my feet and went on stage, but as soon as I got on the stage, there was an uproar in the audience.
The butcher of the EI team, the hill of the CDA team, the Melody of the Seahorse team, what is the situation with this Nima? Four peak teams in one group, it's simply a group of death!
