At this moment, TSM top laner Dyrus is touching the beard on his chin, and his facial expression is a little stiff.

As one of the best top laners in North America, he was fortunate to be the largest North American backdrop for God and XIU at this year's Msi.

Although this has allowed Dyrus's fame to grow a lot.

However, for Dyrus himself, that memory was a bit miserable.

After TSM was drawn to Group D by Froggen, Dyrus blinked anxiously.

After a summer, he has shaken off the nightmare above Msi.

Unexpectedly, now the demon smiled at him again.

Dyrus shook his head, stopping those thoughts in his head.

This summer, TSM has absorbed the experience gained at MSI.

Everyone can feel the progress of the team.

However, whether he could defeat that EDG team, Dyrus was really unsure in his heart.

Froggen drew all the teams in Pool2, and then, the guests in the LPL region were in a state and stepped forward to draw the teams in Pool3.

Soon, the results of the draw grouping came out.

The four teams in Group A are North American No. 1 seed CLG, LMS No. 2 seed Lightning Wolves FW, LCK No. 2 seed KooTiger, and international wild card team PNG from Brazil.

The 4 teams in Group B are the European giants FNC, the LPL veteran team IG who returned to the World Finals after three years, and the LMS No. 1 seed AHQ, and the BKT team from the wild card region known as the 'Bangkok Giants'.

The teams in Group C are S3 World Champion SKT, H2K, the second seed in Europe with a background led by Di Yuelun, the LGD team with strong LPL spring and summer strength, and the C9 team, an old acquaintance who once qualified in the S4 group.

The 4 teams in Group D are LPL No. 1 seed EDG, LCK No. 3 seed KT, North American cult TSM, and Euroleague big dark horse OG team!

……

When all 16 teams appeared in groups, fans in both the LPL region and other regions began to discuss the form of qualifying in advance.

International wild card teams have always been tourism-oriented and focused on participation, and this is not a black wild card team, but there is indeed a gap between their strength and other regions.

However, it was a surprise that both BKT and PNG were able to beat DP and Turkish giants Bescosta to qualify for the wild card this year.

Based on past experience? Wild card teams tend to finish bottom of the group? Belongs to the role of playing soy sauce.

So, a group with a wild card team? Naturally, it's easier to qualify.

Some IG fans were delighted:

"Haha? IG drew a lottery, and the Bangkok Giants don't have to think about it at all? FNC and AHQ are not necessarily stronger than IG, and I feel that IG is easier to qualify in Group B. ”

"Nice? Groups A and B are significantly less intense? The two groups of CDs are a bit of a dilemma. ”

"There are two favorite teams to win the championship, SKT and EDG, and there are no wild card and LMS teams, and the remaining four major regional teams are in chaos!"

Here's what LGD fans say:

"Even though we bumped into SKT, Group C was also more difficult? But we are still LGD. In Group C? In terms of hard power, in addition to SKT being able to touch LGD, H2K and C9 are a step behind, and there is no problem in qualifying. ”

Although the fans of the optimistic family are a bit loud, the vast majority of them agree with it.

In everyone's impression, this year's LPL team is very strong? Very strong.

At this moment, the 61E's are the most calm group.

Even? Before the draw, the 61Es were very calm.

Group D looks fiercely competitive, with KT, TSM, and OG teams having good strength? are all difficult characters.

However, this doesn't seem to have much to do with EDG.

What to worry about? It should be KT, TSM, and OG.

It's not just EDG fans who think so? The melon-eating audience in the six major regions also thinks so.

EDG's dominance is there for all to see? It's going to be too hard to keep this EDG out of the group stage.

With the advent of version 5.16, this view was widely accepted.

After all, this season, EDG has the strongest top laner in the world!

The World Finals have not yet begun, but the arguments on the Internet have emerged.

EDG, IG, and LGD are collectively referred to as '3G' groups by fans, while SKT, KooTiger, and KT are called '3K' groups.

After S3 and S4, S5 will be a new round of collision between the LPL region and the LCK.

Many expanders are imagining:

In the semifinals, 3G encircled SKT, pushing LPL to the top of the world in one fell swoop.

In the more impetuous public opinion, some people also say this:

"In the World Championship, there are no weak teams."

However, under the wind of glamour, there are not many people who can really stabilize their hearts.

……

S5 continues the way S4 was held and will start a grand European tour.

This time, the location is the capital of Britain, France, Germany and Belgium in Europe, and the four famous capitals of Paris, London, Brussels, and Berlin.

The group stage will be held on October 1 at the Pullman venue in Paris.

It is a 24-hour venue that is considered a national cultural heritage site in France and the largest cultural exchange center in the north of Paris.

The Pullman and Haussman venues, as well as the Eiffel venue, have integrated resources to meet the requirements of any type of event, covering an area of 8,500 square meters.

The Pullman venue will be the starting point of a trip to Europe.

At the same time, it is also the starting place for 16 teams in six major regions to chase the dream of S5.

……

During this time, public opinion from the outside world continued, and compared to the voices coming from LGD, EDG was still relatively low-key.

In the magic capital base, everyone is not idle, and in a limited time, EDG hurries to familiarize himself with the new version.

September 27, Mid-Autumn Festival.

Li Zixiu made a call to Jiangcheng and also received a call from Gusu's house.

On the festival of reunion, relatives are not by your side.

This Mid-Autumn Festival, Li Zixiu looked at the moon from afar.

Remembering in my heart:

I hope that people will last a long time, and they will be together for thousands of miles.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the moon is still full, and on September 28, the official action of LPL began.

EDG and his entourage set off for France.

Unlike last Msi, this time not only the members of EDG, but also members of LGD and IG are also in the ranks of the official organization.

In the same region, everyone is competitive.

Out of the country, that is a comrade-in-arms in the trenches.

Inside the airport, Li Zixiu looked at TBQ's dark circles a little serious.

"Stayed up late these days?"

TBQ rubbed his eyes and responded:

"yes, I've been practicing again lately."

"You are the same."

Everyone got together, Li Zixiu hadn't spoken yet, and the sturgeon general in the IG team came up.

"Who isn't, I haven't slept well in the past few days, the version has changed too much, and I can't adapt to it if I don't take time."

General Sturgeon was complaining, and TBQ looked at Li Zixiu.

"Ah Xiu, this time the single version is alas, I really envy you, this time it's really like a fish in water."

Li Zixiu smiled:

"Okay, I'll need time to get used to it."

"Moreover, the version change is not for me alone, all the top laners are involved. All in all, there are a lot of variables in this Worlds. ”

As he said this, several people around him nodded.

Qijiang took a step forward and came over to join in the fun: "The new version of metal is very perverted, and there have been a lot of dragon-controlling routines recently, have you practiced?" ”

"Practice must be practiced, but ban still has to ban, this thing is super disgusting, and it's not easy to target." The gesture took a sentence.

At the mention of the metal master, everyone at LGD smiled incomprehensibly.

Li Zixiu asked tentatively:

"Have you found a way to restrain the master metal?"

Hearing Li Zixiu's words, Wei Jiang also smiled.

Li Zixiu's game comprehension is known as the strongest in this version, and now, looking at Li Zixiu's somewhat puzzled expression, Wei Jiang suddenly felt a little excited, and even felt that the heavenly knife was not fragrant.

"Haha, restraint must be restrained."

"When it's time for the World Championships, you guys can enjoy our performances."

As soon as Wei Jiang spoke, everyone was amazed.

As for the optimistic family, everyone has some self-confidence.

Looking at the appearance of the LGD gang, others may not know their tactics, but Li Zixiu's mind is thinking of something.

The gears of fate are always in motion.
