With players all over the world watching, the group stage draw is about to begin.

EDG base.

"Ah Xiu, are you ready?"

Outside the training room, Abu asked.

"Well, I'm ready to go."

Abu asked again, "What about Mingkai and Ah Shui?" Have you seen them or not. ”

Li Zixiu smiled:

"They went to the bathroom together."

Abu let out an oh and went to urge the staff to pack up their things.

Lee Zi-so walked up to Pawn's side, and General Pawn was seriously operating the captain.

After a period of training, the Pawn has made great strides in controlling and unleashing powder kegs, and his combos are very fluid.

After the last LPL finals, maybe it was really influenced by Li Zixiu, and the new version of the captain suddenly became popular, and it was very popular.

Not only in the LPL region, but also in other regions.

On Twitch, Li Zixiu's captain's game has been viewed millions of times, and the comments at the bottom are as high as tens of thousands.

With his instructional videos inside, the new version of the captain has a rising chance of winning.

It really has a lot to do with the captain's attributes, Planck is too strong.

The designers could only cool down the captain.

Especially for the captain's E skill, this time a big change has been made.

Ignoring 60% armor has been nerfed to ignoring 50% armor, and the release interval of the powder keg has been increased by 0.25 seconds.

Despite being slashed, the captain is still a hero who must be chosen.

And, in recent development, players have discovered that the captain can go mid-lane.

Planck, with the strength to stand firm in the middle.

The equipment is slightly formed, the ability to clear the line of the powder keg is very strong, and the ultimate can be supported by the whole map.

Pawn is practicing as a captain, and that's why it's in there.

If the opponent does not ban the captain, then this hero is a very good swing position in the hands of EDG.

"Zixiu, is there anything you can point?"

Li Zixiu listened to Pawn's words and patted him on the shoulder with a smile.

"You're having a great time."

General Pawn smiled, happy.

"Little Pawn, turn off the equipment, Abu is already urging."

"Okay."

Soon, the factory director and Ah Shui and others came back, and under the greeting of Abu, EDG and his party got on the team bus.

The target is in the magic capital, and they are officially invited to come there.

Of course, members of IG and LGD were also invited over.

As a team representing LPL, the LPL official also solemnly arranged the departure ceremony.

At the request of the photographer and staff, they wore special costumes and posed in various poses.

Riot reporters were also on hand to interview members of the three teams, and the content of these interviews will be edited later to become behind-the-scenes footage.

Not only in the LPL region, but also in other regions, teams will have similar activities.

In the future trip to Europe, at a specific time, the official will burst these easter eggs to mobilize the emotions of fans.

As the tournament continues to be held, Riot is becoming more and more experienced.

Since the end of the S4 competition, they have been preparing for S5 since the end of the competition.

So, everything is going in an orderly manner.

After most of the busy day, it was finally over.

After saying hello to IG and LGD and others, EDG returned to the Modu base.

After dinner, everyone gathered in front of the screen, waiting for the warm-up session before the start of the S competition every year.

Up to now, all the teams competing in S5 in the six major regions have been locked.

In the Huaguo Division, there are three teams: EDG, IG and LGD.

In the European division, it is FNC, H2K, and OG teams.

North America, CLG, TSM, C9.

In the Korean region, there are two teams in the SKT, KOO and KT divisions, and there are two teams in the LMS division and the international wild card division, namely AHQ, FW, PNG and BKT

There are 16 teams from all over the world.

These 16 teams are all well-known in their home regions.

This time, they come together from all over the globe and will battle it out for the highest glory in League of Legends.

Before every World Finals, Riot does this warm-up event.

About 10 days in advance, let the teams in the tournament know their opponents in the group stage, and give the teams a certain amount of time to prepare before the group stage.

At the same time, it is also a means of propaganda.

When local fans follow their own teams, they will also learn about the opponents that their teams have encountered, so as to deepen the communication between different regions, expand the influence of the league around the world, and raise the expectations of the audience.

It's like the NBA has a draft every year, which is also a kind of warm-up.

After S3 and S4, the number of players in the alliance has shown a blowout.

This year's draw ceremony has received tremendous attention throughout the league world.

Everyone is curious to see which teams will meet in the group stage.

The rules are as follows, LCS Europe, LCS North America, LPL, LCK, and all four regions will have a No. 1 seed.

They represent the best teams in each region, and these four teams will be divided into four ABCD groups and are guaranteed not to meet in the first round.

As the No. 1 seed to qualify for the World Championships, they still have a certain advantage in the group stage.

Riot, which is broadcasting live.

In front of the camera, two hosts, a man and a woman, were dressed appropriately, holding the microphone, and said with a smile:

"It's a pleasure to be here for the draw for the 2015 League of Legends World Championship, and to welcome our three guests."

"Yes, they're Cool, Rapidstar, Froggen."

"Now, let's ask Rapidstar to draw the four No. 1 seeds for us."

Dressed in a white shirt and sunglasses, Rapidstar walked over to the clear glass that said Pool1.

As he continued to pull out the ball, the names of several teams were also constantly announced.

Group A No. 1 seed, North America's strongest wings of hope, CLG team.

Group B No. 1 seed, S1 World Champion, FNC from Europe.

The No. 1 seed in Group C, the S3 World Champion, and the SKT team with the big devil in charge.

The No. 1 seed in Group D, this year's MSI champion, won a terrifying streak and swept the EDG team all summer!

After the draw of Pool1 ended, the No. 1 seed teams of each group were also updated on the big screen.

The next three places will be drawn from Pool2 and Pool3.

Although there is a saying that there is a No. 2 seed and a No. 3 seed, as the saying goes, there are no weak teams in the World Championship, and there is not much difference between most teams.

However, to be the No. 1 seed must have merit.

Basically all the teams participating in the World Championship were paying attention to the draw ceremony, and after the first round of the draw, the teams behind were also a little panicked.

After all, the draw for the group stage is important, and it is related to whether or not you can advance to the quarter-finals.

If you are unfortunate enough to be assigned to the death group, then it is really bad luck.

At this moment, many teams are eyeing the three empty spots below Group D.

To be honest, compared to the other three groups, everyone didn't want to squeeze under Group D.

This season, EDG is really a bit scary.

MSI won the championship for the time being, and the summer game won all the victories to dominate the LPL region, which is like God!

Moreover, the single version of the World Championship has basically been decided.

EDG is on the road, but there is a killing machine!

Fack, it's really bad to meet this team early in the group stage.

If you do a poll on the other twelve teams at this time, it is estimated that none of them want to go to Group D.

However, there are always four teams in each group.

At this time, the second guest at the lottery ceremony walked in front of the lottery position of Pool2.

Froggen, one of the kings of Europe, holds the title of the world's first icebird.

He uncovered the hat of the silver ball one after another, and FW, AHQ, and H2K were drawn out of the three groups of ABC.

The European Emperor smiled slightly, and put his hand into the lottery pool again.

Next, it's Group D's turn.

The host smiled:

"Oh, it's Team TSM in Group D!"

……

TSM base.

Suddenly, a voice of complaining came out.

"Oh, damn it."

"The Emperor of the bullshit!"

"Froggen, his hands stink too!"

……
