It's September 23rd.

10 p.m. Kyoto time.

The draw for the 2019 Series S event has officially begun.

Due to the availability of the Play-In Tournament, only three teams from each of the four groups will be selected for this draw.

Wait until the play-in rounds are over to determine all the teams in each group.

"The No. 1 seed has a preference in the draw, that is, it will not run into the No. 1 seed in several major regions, which is actually more advantageous for us."

In Berlin, in a training facility temporarily provided by Zhong Qiang's uncle, coach Liu Mei is giving non-professional coaching to the players.

When Liu Mei had a crisis of unemployment, she began to make up for all kinds of knowledge that was helpful to the players.

Naturally, this also includes the very important psychology of the world.

However, looking at the players with calm expressions, Liu Mei suddenly felt a little embarrassed as she spoke.

That's the kind of ...... It seems that I can't use my professional knowledge at all, and I feel like playing the piano with a cow.

Needless to say, the mentality of Wu Hao and Li Wei has never been worried.

Qiu Kan, who is in the jungle, is the same as Erha, and Liu Mei, who said that this product is an optimistic family, also believes it.

In addition, the auxiliary Li Die has always been very dark-bellied, and occasionally shows great wisdom.

The more such people are, the less they need to worry about their mentality.

Cheng Han's family has graduated from college for a while, and they still study politics and law, and those who study politics and law are the best at using reason rather than emotion.

And this kind of sane person is very good at self-regulating mentality, even if he is a little nervous at the time, he can adjust his mentality to a good degree in the shortest possible time.

The mentality of the starting five is fine, and the only thing that may have problems is Xiaodong Baiyi.

But Xiaodong Bai......

Liu Mei looked at Xiao Dongbai.

However, he had always had that blank expression.

A bit like Qiu Kan like Shi Lezhi.

It's weird.

Clearing her throat, Liu Mei stubbornly continued: "This means that in our group, we can meet at least two teams from non-Korean regions, and in my judgment, we may encounter the strongest team that is the No. 1 seed JTE team in the LMS region." ”

"So ......"

Liu Mei Balabala said a lot, but sadly found that her worries may be too redundant.

"Liu Jiao, I'm worried that some of them won't get it, our goal this time is to win the championship, no matter who we meet in the group stage, it's the same, if you can't even cross the group stage, how can you talk about the follow-up eight into four, semifinals and finals?"

Qiu Kan said with a smile.

"Just do your best, I think we're pretty strong anyway, even though we haven't had training matches with other divisions yet."

Wu Hao also said with a face full of affirmation.

"Alright then, let's see the draw first."

Liu Mei was helpless, and her saliva for half a day was in vain.

The draw ceremony began shortly.

The first to be drawn was G1.

G1 naturally falls in the C position of Group A.

Next up was the wings.

Fall into Group B.

Group C is South Korea's No. 1 seed Orion.

Group D is the North American No. 1 seed TTL.

It doesn't matter which group of wings they are in the ABCD.

What they care about is which teams are in the group.

As the answer was gradually revealed, the expressions of the wings crowd went from stunned to deep thought.

"Nima, sign it."

Qiu Kan couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, and then slapped Li Wei's thigh fiercely.

Levi looked at him faintly, then reached out and grabbed the back of the cargo's neck, slammed it, and pressed it again.

Qiu Kan called twice, and immediately became honest.

However, Levi was also a little puzzled when he looked at the groupings that had been listed on the big screen.

What do you really want to do?

The results of the announcement are clear.

Group A, G1 (No. 1 seed in Europe), Griffin (No. 2 seed in South Korea), C8 (No. 2 seed in North America).

Group B, wings (LPL No. 1 seed), JTE (bending No. 1 seed), GM (fighting national seed).

Group C, Orion (South Korea's No. 1 seed), FC (Europe's No. 2 seed), Phoenix Wing (LPL's No. 2 seed).

Group D, TTL (North American No. 1 seed), Assassination Star (No. 2 seed), BWG (South Korea's No. 3 seed).

Except for the four of the 12 teams that can compete in the play-in round, the general framework of each group is very complete.

The discussion that swept away at the forum finally came to a conclusion.

Except for Group B Tianhu, the remaining three groups can all be called death groups!

Needless to say, Group A, the European aces, the South Korean new army, the king of the group stage upset, and the final unknown.

This unknown is most likely a Kingdom team that came out of the play-in.

Of course, no one really thinks that the Kingdom team can't make it to the play-in tournament, right? Wouldn't it, wouldn't it??

The style of play and style of the Kingdom Clans may not be very suitable for the current version against some of the best teams, and the version is not very friendly to them.

But with their individual strength, which of those stinky fish and rotten shrimp in the finals can pose a threat to them?

It will also be interesting if the kingdom are in Group D, with North America's No. 1 seed and South Korea's No. 3 seed both favourites to qualify, and if Kingdom comes in sideways, then the suspense of the group will be greater.

It is also unclear whether the Phoenix Wing in Group C will be able to resurrect themselves against both European Dynasty FC and Korean Dynasty Orion.

There is only group B, which seems a bit out of place with other groups.

"This Nima, it's really shit luck!"

There are many black fans of wings in China who secretly scold themselves.

In the past, they may have wondered if Wings had the chance of being beaten in the group stage.

But now they don't have the slightest doubt about that.

JTE？ Is it the provincial team that can't beat the LPL team in 10,000 years?

GM, the team of the Fighting Nation sounds fierce, in fact, judging from the performance of the team of the Fighting Nation in the historical S match, they are nothing, there may be a little threat, but that's all.

As for the teams that are likely to rise in the play-in......

Europe's number three?

Or the number three in North America?

Only those two teams are likely to make it to Group B, and no one would be foolish enough to think that the island nation will make it to the play-in.

Other words...... Wings Guaranteed Quarterfinals?

If it were a big club like TFO, there might still be cerebral palsy jumping out to engage in conspiracy theories, such as buying off Riot or something.

But wings is a grassroots team, even if the boss is the rich second generation, but it is also the grassroots of the rich second generation.

The public doesn't know how many rich second generations there are in all wings.

They only know that the boss Zhong Qiang is a half-baked rich second generation, and he does everything himself, and often appears in the public's sight, which is enough.

Then there is only one explanation.

This team's shit luck is just as good as it gets!

……

Number 28.

On the fifth day of their arrival in Berlin, the wings received an invitation to their first training match.

It's not that I didn't play a training match in the first two days, but the previous training objects of wings have always been Phoenix Wings and Kingdom.

Other than that, none of the teams have ever invited them to practice matches.

Today is the first one.

So Liu Mei and Yang Xinyi warmly entertained this strange-looking European.

This man claims to be the leader of the SP team.

SP, which is the third seed in Europe.

In a few days, they will begin the play-in schedule.

After learning the identity of the visitor, Wings did not show contempt, no matter what, the person was sincere......

"No one has invited you to play training matches yet, if you are willing to accept it, let's do two BO5 training sessions from 14 to 21 o'clock every night, this is our personnel list."

While handing over the form in his hand, the European glanced at Yang Xinyi, pursed his lips and looked away.

In the eyes of Europeans and Americans, Asians actually look the same.

Especially Colter, the leader of the SP team who came to the training match this time, in his heart, the aesthetic standards of oriental women are limited to the figure.

This Oriental woman, no.

Yang Xin frowned.

I don't know what's going on, he always thinks this European has ...... eyes Very contemptuous?

She subconsciously lowered her head, and immediately seemed to think of something, and her face suddenly collapsed.

"That's it?"

Without waiting for her to say anything, Liu Mei's voice next to her suddenly rose an octave.

"What's wrong?"

Yang Xin was stunned one by one, and then looked at the list in Liu Mei's hand.

Coult's smile remained unchanged: "That's the case, there have been a lot of training matches for our first team recently, so I'm sorry, we can only use the second team, but you can rest assured, the second team often trains with the first team, and it's ......"

"Get out!"

Yang Xin didn't wait for him to finish, grabbed the list in Liu Mei's hand and threw it directly on Colter's face: "getout!" ”

Coulter's face changed, he didn't expect Yang Xinyi, an Asian woman with a good temper in his impression, to change her face, could it be that women all over the world are the same? !

He seemed to be suppressed by Yang Xinyi's momentum, grabbed the list and was about to leave, and when he walked to the door, he remembered whether he should leave some cruel words......

However, before he could turn around, Yang Xinyi's voice sounded first.

"You should be glad that Riot has set the format, and hopefully your European teams will make the cut."

"Don't think MSI is everything."

"MSI, you can win the championship only because there was no wings team at the time."

Colter's face turned blue after hearing Yang Xin's first-class English: "We'll see you in the group stage, I hope we will be placed in Group B." ”

"Coincidentally, that's what I thought, too."

The first training match ended unhappily.

Yang Xin saw it.

Before the start of the group stage, they may not be able to make appointments with stronger teams.

Although there have been contacts with Korean teams before, all three South Korean teams have been booked up for training matches.

It was Europe and North America that made them about.

The TTL team performed well in the Mid-Season Invitational Tournament, and the Korean team accepted it with an open mind.

To say that they don't have time to spare, no one believes it.

But since people are unwilling, it is impossible for the wings side to be cheeky and continue to stick up.

The situation is similar for all three LPL teams.

In the end, only wild cards and Russian teams were willing to play training matches against the wings.

In this regard, the people of wings are very stable.

In the face of absolute and strength, everything else is nothing.

And it's worth mentioning that in just a few days, the Wings team has accomplished a terrifying achievement.

Including the substitutes, the six players of the wings occupy six spots in the top 20 of the European server.

Among them, Levi fully demonstrated the standard impression he left in the minds of countless audiences.

The king of rank.

With less than 100 games, the winning rate of 75 hit the third place in the European server.

followed by Qiu Kan in Europe, fifth.

During the wreak of the Nakano duo in the European server, almost no one could stop it.

In addition, on the side of the Kingdom team, Broiler and Jack occupy the sixth and eighth seats in the European server respectively.

The ranks of the members of the Phoenix Wing team are not particularly strong, but they still hit the eleventh position.

So far, among the three teams in the LPL, a total of nine players occupy half of the top 20 seats!

After all, the European service is not like the hanbok.

The psychology of players in the European server is still relatively pure, even at such a sensitive moment, even if they know that their teammates may be professional players in other regions, that is, enemies in their regions.

But because the players in the European server come from all over Europe, some are Spanish, some are German, and some are French, the countries where the players are located are very mixed, and the players in the European server are relatively pure, so they naturally will not engage in sniping, actors and the like in South Korea.

Except for the occasional big aunt on the Internet, the training environment of the players is very good.

And just like that, the time came all the way to the end of the play-in round.

The prediction for the Play-In is simple.

There is a very clear gap between the strength of the wild card and the major regional teams.

Although some people want to see teams from regions such as Brazil and RB appear, they are really not very competitive.

Even the Vietnamese team, which has been able to stand out from the play-in rounds all year round, was pulled in the play-in round this year.

By grouping.

The third seeds, HK, were the first to qualify, and with no other teams in Group A, they were naturally assigned to Group A.

When they learned that they had successfully qualified, the five lads of HK were happy.

But when they found out that they had been assigned to Group A, their faces wrinkled into bitter melons again.

Isn't this just going to give points?

It's still the kind that sends big dung.

The third seed team GG from North America was placed in the second Group of Death, which is Group C.

However, the big brother in North America looks obviously more optimistic, even if he knows that he may become the second experience baby, adhering to the positive and optimistic spirit, still maintaining a smile.

The Kingdom team, the last to qualify, and the first three groups have been filled, they naturally entered Group D, which made Group D, which originally seemed to be relatively optimistic about qualifying, suddenly become less optimistic.

As for the second SP team that appeared, they really got their wish.

Even during the interview, they seemed very elated because they were in Group B.

And the Wings, who they thought were the weakest seed in the four divisions, got their wish.

And considering the strength of the other teams in Group B, the SP team believes that their qualification situation is very clear.

As the No. 3 seed to make it to the quarter-finals, regardless of whether they can continue to move forward, at least they can give their fans a hand.

"That's good."

Team Leader Colt of the SP team sighed.

He felt that it must be a gift from God that made them so lucky.

Almost at the same time, in the wings team, Yang Xin bowed slightly.

"That's good."

Immediately, she walked to the training room, looked around, and said slowly, "Everyone...... It's been a long time since you've played a human machine, right? ”
