In just one day, the entire League of Legends esports circle in Europe and the United States was caught up by this regional competition that Riot had improvised for!

Because it was a small event that was decided to do on a temporary basis, Riot did not use the group stage venue that was being tested, but held a "villa match" like other events.

The so-called "villa competition" is an event where the organizer invites some teams to rent a large villa and directly use the villa as a hotel and arena, which is suitable for events with insufficient budget, and mostly occurs in small competitions of CS and DOTA projects.

Because League of Legends is the e-sports project with the largest audience and the strongest profitability in the world today, all events are relatively arrogant, and naturally they have never chosen this form of competition.

However, because Jiang Bufan's temporary concept of "competition area confrontation" just hit the other divisions' thirst for championships, the popularity was beyond Riot's expectations, so he decided to use the situation of "villa competition" to hold the current competition temporarily.

At the same time, because the next day is the beginning of this year's World Championship group stage, the format of this regional competition is as simple as it is - three LPL teams that have entered the World Championship play against three EU teams, and the coaches of the two divisions decide the playing rounds of these three teams at the same time, and temporarily decide which team to play in which game before the game, and it is not announced in advance, it completely depends on the temporary performance of the coaching staff!

In other words, there will be a total of three games in this round of regional competition, each of the three teams will play once, and after playing three rounds, the region with the most wins will win!

The format looks pretty simple, but it's not simple!

First of all, because you don't know which team your opponent will play in advance, the three teams in the region need to rate their own teams first, and whether the two strongest teams can win two games becomes even more crucial!

If the weakest team can block the opponent's superior horse for one time, then the remaining two teams will undoubtedly have an advantage over the opponent's medium and inferior horses!

After listening to the introduction of the Riot staff, the LPL division laughed one after another: "Isn't this Tian Ji horse racing?" ”

At this time, the three teams in the LPL region all gathered in the conference hall on their side, and the coaching staff of the three teams immediately got busy and began to formulate strategies after understanding the format of this regional competition.

Mr. Wang and others were also chatting with each other with bags with peripherals, and there were several photographers with cameras on their shoulders nervously broadcasting live broadcasts.

Outside the door, players from other divisions gathered outside the door, curiously probing their brains inside - because this regional competition is experimental in nature, only EU and LPL teams participate, and it has little to do with them, if you don't want to watch the video in the live broadcast of the online event, you can only go to the floor of the LPL and EU competition area to pick your eyes.

Relatively speaking, this entertainment regional competition is much easier for the LPL region than for the EU region!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the strength of the three teams in the LPL division is much greater than the three teams in the EU region, which means that the LPL division has a lot of room to play in the arrangement!

Needless to say, the XG team can come to the World Championship to go for the championship, and there is no doubt about the strength!

The LTG team can play its own strength in the game if it does not pull its hips, and it is also one of the candidates for winning the championship in this World Championship, after all, it is a team that has won the championship of the LPL region, and there is still respect to be had!

The only weaker strength is the IG team, but the combination of the top single shy man, the jungler brother, the middle single thief and the thief, the lower road Xihuang and Baolan is also not to be underestimated!

When the camera was shown to the EU region, the managers of the three teams formed a circle and argued about the rounds of the schedule in their hands!

"There is no doubt that for us in the EU, the first win is crucial!" The head coach of H2K was categorical, "So, we shouldn't just let SPY play in the first game and just throw our strongest G2 team on it and get the first win!" ”

"First of all! We SPY aren't the weakest! Team SPY's head coach foamed at the mouth and said, "Don't forget, we won more games in the regular season than we won in SPY!" Secondly, you have to think carefully about how the opposite side will play! They have two teams at the T0 level, one XG and one LTG! ”

"XG are very strong, I admit it, but the LTG team has never played in the World Championship at all, so how strong they are is still up for debate!"

"And what if the opposite side plays the XG team in the first game?"

"Uh......"

"So our side is on the SPY in the first game?"

"Hell! How many times have I told you! We're not the weakest team! ”

"Good, good! I understand! So you guys can't play the first game? ”

"Yes! But I repeat it......"

"Yes, yes! You are indeed not the weakest! The weakest team in our EU region will be relegated this year! ”

After a fierce quarrel, the three head coaches of the EU region finally reached a consensus, and the team on their side played in the first game was Team SPY!

On the other hand, the atmosphere in the lounge of the LPL division was much more relaxed, and after a period of humility between the three parties, the first game decided that the XG team would play.

As analyzed by the EU division, the LPL division did not panic at all because it held two T0-level teams, and tried to take the lead in this regional confrontation, and directly shot the little king on his side, the XG team!

When the first match teams on both sides came out, everyone who watched the match laughed - the third seed SPY team in the EU region played the second seed XG team in the LPL region!

"Poor Team SPY, they're going to have to enjoy a defeat before the Worlds even start!"

"I'm a European, but I also don't believe that Team SPY can win when I see this outrageous matchup...... But the good news is that now after the XG team has been on the LPL division, there are only two teams left, IG and LTG, and we still have FNC and G2 cards in our hands, so we seem to have a great chance to win this regional competition! ”

"Don't! Have you forgotten that Team LTG is the champion of the summer finals in the LPL region? ”

"But they're just a new team after all! It's been less than a year since it was founded! ”

"But they're champions!"

"G2 is also a champion!"

"Hell, you don't want to use your EU championship as an analogy to the LPL region, do you?"
