After the draw for the group stage of the World Finals, the topic of "RNG is deep in the group of death" soon appeared on the hot search.

If you want to win the championship, you have to win no matter what your opponent is.

But in the beginning, no one wants to play a strong team, what if the form is not good at first?

And in the group of death, every game is important.

In the RNG eSports club, when the draw was over, Coach Steak immediately called all the members to have a meeting.

"Everyone has just seen the situation of the grouping, and we are now determined that the opponents are SKT and FNC, and the remaining team is still uncertain!" Steak said.

At this time, the faces of several players were not too good, after all, they didn't want to meet the SKT team so early.

Many people think that SKT is like RNG's old enemy, S3's finals, S7's five-game Galio, and now the group stage has met in advance.

"Our opponents are already determined, it's useless to worry, we have to prepare in advance, they are not invincible." Steak glanced at the contestants and said, "We don't want to meet them, and I'm sure neither FNC nor SKT want to meet us, because they are not sure they can win us!" ”

"During this period of time, we have had good results in training matches and you know your form, so it is not impossible to beat SKT." "There were three opponents in the group stage, each of whom played twice. In addition to SKT, as long as we can win against the other two opponents, then qualifying will not be a problem! ”

"So, no matter which team joins Group C in the future, we make sure we win them and FNC, then we have a high chance of qualifying!"

After listening to the coach's steak words, several players nodded, and it was indeed so. Even if you lose all two games to SKT, as long as you can win the other two opponents, you can basically ensure qualification.

"It's only ten or twenty days before the group stage, and you can't fall behind in your training matches during this time, everyone has to make sure they are in shape! I'm going to keep arranging training matches for you, and it's your job to play every game! Steak said.

After explaining what happened, all the RNG players went back to the training match to start the training match.

As for the coaching team of the steak and the members of the analysis team, they stayed in the conference room, and now that the opponent has been determined, then they need to quickly study the opponent and prepare everything for the next match.

Not only for the RNG team, but also for the FPX team and the IG team after the opponent was determined, the coach had a meeting, and then the players immediately went to the training match, and the coach stayed in the conference room to study the opponent.

The same is true for teams in other regions, after all, the Worlds are coming up and everyone is nervous.

In the following period, the coach still arranged a lot of training matches, from one per day at the beginning to two per day now.

During this period of time, it is rare to see LOL news on the Internet, anyway, the three teams are in training matches, and the rest of the teams are also on vacation.

Soon, the LPL official confirmed the official commentary for this participation in the global finals, as well as the host, assistant referee and other personnel.

Zhang Siyu is impressively on the list.

Chen Mo has been playing ranked every day during this time, except for occasional training matches, but he used his mobile phone to chat with Zhang Siyu at night when he was about to go to bed.

After the day of the LPL finals, the two also confirmed their relationship, but because it was a special thing, the two didn't date much.

Zhang Siyu also understands that knowing that the World Championship is coming, Chen Mo has no time to train.

Soon, the play-in tournament for the Worlds began, and because the champion of S8 was in the LPL region, the LPL team did not participate in the play-in tournament.

However, there is one team that will attract more attention in the play-in rounds, and that is the third seed in the LCK, DWG.

Now the two teams in the LCK are Group B and Group C, so DWG is either in Group A or Group D.

If you go to Group A, then the competitiveness of Group A is actually even more terrible than Group C. If you go to group D, it will also increase the difficulty of IG.

Therefore, the audience of LPL is more concerned about which group DWG will go to in the end.

Why are people worried about this before the play-in tournament is over? To be honest, for DWG, the play-in tournament is actually not difficult, and it is relatively easy to qualify.

The first phase of the World Finals Play-In Tournament runs from October 2 to October 5 and consists of six matches per day over four days.

The top two teams in the Play-In Group will advance, with a day off on October 6 and the second stage of the Play-in Stage on October 7 and 8.

The winner advances to the group stage.

Compared to the group stage, the play-in tournament was watched by a much smaller number of people. And the big teams were also busy training, and they didn't pay much attention to the game at all.

Soon the play-in tournament was over, and the four teams that made the final cut were: DWG, SPY, HKA, and CG.

After the teams were confirmed for the Play-In Tournament, a draw ceremony was held to assign the four newly promoted teams into four groups.

Soon the results came out.

New members in Group A: HKA.

New member of Group B: SPY.

New members of Group C: CG.

New member of Group D: DWG.

It doesn't add much difficulty to FPX in Group A, after all, it's not too difficult for FPX to play HKA, and there is no problem if nothing else.

But for IG and RNG, it's actually not good news.

IG is in Group D, which is clearly in the team, joining a team in the LCK region, Team DWG. Even if DWG is the No. 3 seed, its strength should not be underestimated, and IG needs to take it seriously.

Of course, as long as the IG status is played, there will definitely not be much of a problem in qualifying, and the addition of DWG is just a little rare for IG.

For RNG, it's not good news. Although the CG team is not very famous, the top laner of the CG team is the world-famous top laner Huni.

Huni is a former SKT top laner and has a strong top laner strength. When CG joined Group C, it was obvious that CG had added some difficulty.

Originally, when everyone was still thinking about whether the group of death should be Group A or Group C, due to the addition of CG, many people determined that Group C was the group of death this year.

Compared to Group A, Group C is a bit more difficult.

But no matter what, the opponent has been decided, and all that remains is to hope that the players can work harder.

When the play-in tournament just ended, all the members of the three LPL teams, the LPL official commentators, the official supporters, and the assistant referees also began to set off for Europe.

Although there are still a few days to go to the competition, the players must go over in advance to adapt to the environment and climate, etc., in case the competition comes to a difficult situation, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

And the official hosts, commentators, etc. also go early, and they can also do some shows to see what the team players are doing in the field!
