Chapter 321: RNG with Death
The draw for the World Finals was also divided into two parts, the first of which was the group draw for the 12 teams to play the play-in round.
The play-in tournament is divided into four groups of three teams each.
There are relatively few people who care about the play-in, after all, the LPL region does not need to play the play-in, so there is nothing to see.
Moreover, compared to the group stage, the play-in tournament is not so exciting, and many people simply check it at the end of the game, and then care about which teams are divided together.
The second part is the group stage draw, which now has twelve teams in the group stage, with four more teams to advance from the play-in round. As a result, a total of sixteen teams competed in the group stage.
The sixteen teams are divided into four groups, each group has four teams, three of which will be determined first, and the last one will be determined after the play-in tournament is completed.
Chen Mo was also sitting in front of the computer at this time and watching the lottery ceremony in front of him, compared to his previous time and space, this time and space found some changes.
For example, the No. 1 seed in the LCK was originally the STK team, but this side has become the GRF team.
The three LCK teams are: No. 1 seed GRF, No. 2 seed SKT, and No. 3 seed DWG!
The group was drawn into three pools, with four teams from pool 1: GRF, RNG, G2 and TL.
Eight teams in pool 2: FPX, IG, SKT, C9, FNC, AHQ, JT, GAM.
Miyoshi Pool is also four teams, which are the four teams that have advanced to the play-in tournament.
Soon the draw ceremony began.
First of all, the four teams in pool 1 are divided into four teams, and every time the team is drawn, there will be an official clip of the team introduction.
The last four teams are grouped as follows: G2 in Group A, GRF in Group B, RNG in Group C, and TL in Group D.
When the first pool team was drawn, everyone was not too nervous, after all, who was facing the opposite side now, but now there were many people standing in the dark praying that they could enter Group D.
Judging from the current situation of the four teams, the strength of Group D is actually the weakest.
Needless to say, the LCK and LPL divisions have always been very strong teams, and no one wants to meet them.
As for the G2 team, they also showed their terrifying dominance in S9, and even won the 2019 MSI championship, and they are also the favorites to win the championship this year.
The rest of the TL teams are also good, but compared to G2, RNG, and GRF, it still looks a little better to bully.
"RNG is now in Group C, to be honest, I'm worried about RNG now, the previous World Championships, RNG was in the group of death, this time I must have a good sign!"
The LPL regional league also made a program for this draw, and after seeing that the four teams in pool 1 were grouped, Colonel Guan said.
The person sitting on the side nodded and said, "That's true, let's start with S6." The S6 death group had TSM, RNG and 7 death groups in group D, and G2, SSG, and RNG in group C. The S8 Death Group B has RNG, GENG, VIT. It's hard to feel like these three Death Group RNG are all there! ”
Many viewers who watched the lottery ceremony also chatted, and compared with watching the game every day, it is naturally much easier to watch the lottery ceremony now.
After the first pool was drawn, it began to reach the second pool, and at this time, many members of the team also began to get nervous.
Group A is drawn to the FPX team.
Group B was drawn to Team JT.
Group C was drawn to the FNC team.
Group D was drawn to the AHQ team.
After the first round of the second pool, the audience and the commentary in the LPL division were helpless, judging from the current grouping, the two teams that appeared in the LPL were not drawn well.
The FPX team in Group A has G2 and MSI champions in it, and it is obviously not easy to play.
And the RNG in Group C was also drawn into the FNC team, which is also very strong, a frequent participant in the World Championship, and it is also a hard battle.
"FPX and RNG are not very well grouped at the moment, and now I only hope that IG will enter Group D, at least the current Group D looks weaker! Don't go to Group B! Remember to say.
The second round of the draw for pool No. 2 continued, and when the guests took out a ball and were about to read the name of the team, whether it was the LPL commentator, the audience, or the members of the IG team, they were all silently chanting: No IG, no IG!
Soon the results came out, and Group A was drawn to the C9 team.
Group B drew the GAM team.
Team SKT was drawn from Group C.
Group D draws the IG team!
As soon as the results came out, the grouping was over.
Three teams in Group A: G2, FPX, and C9.
Three teams in Group B: GRF, JT, GAM.
Three teams in Group C: RNG, SKT, FNC.
Three teams in Group D: TL, AHQ, IG.
Of course, there are four teams in each group, and the remaining one will not be determined until after the play-in tournament is over.
As soon as the results came out, some voices erupted from the base of each team, some people were happy and some were helpless.
Compare IG and RNG, the IG grouping is very good, and the members in the base are also relatively happy. And RNG was not so lucky, when they saw SKT, everyone was helpless, and they met the SKT team again.
Originally, everyone had been bless IG not to go to Group B, but it was forgotten, and everyone only saw the situation in Group C.
"Hey, hey, this Group C has exploded again, with the addition of SKT, the current Group C is much stronger than other groups in terms of team distribution! RNG is in the Death Group again! When Colonel Guan saw SKT enter Group C, he immediately shouted loudly, a little speechless.
"The three teams in Group C are old rivals, especially RNG and SKT, there are too many stories of these two teams, and there are also a lot of stories that FNC and RNG have only seen. Other groups may be able to guess which team has a good chance of qualifying, but Group C is really hard to guess. Remember to say.
Colonel Guan on the side said: "Okay, then you can guess the possibility of other groups qualifying!" ”
I remember laughing: "G2 and FPX are the most likely in Group A." If you are in Group B, you don't need to look at GRF and JT. Group D, IG and TL have a high probability, and it's just a group C, which is not good at all! ”
Colonel Guan analyzed: "Let's not talk about the terrifying team of SKT, if RNG wants to qualify, the duel with FNC is very important." ”
The lottery ceremony is now over, and the two of them are still chatting.
At this time, the entire online water friends also had a heated discussion.
"Who the hell is this RNG recruiting to provoke whom, and this year it has entered the group of death!"
"FPX and IG are not very big problems, it depends on RNG!"
"There are too many grievances between RNG and SKT, S7's five rounds of Galio are vivid, RNG needs to come on!"
"The probability of RNG entering the group of death is too great, one SKT and one FNC team, it's not easy to beat anyone!"
"IG has a relaxed feeling here, but you have to come on!"
"FPX is actually not difficult, but you must win when you play C9, but the possibility of winning is still very high."
