Chapter 926: They're Bosses (First Update)
"The championship trophy will definitely stay in China!"
When Li Mu's voice was transmitted to the corners of the venue and to thousands of households through the sound equipment on the spot, the scene was silent at first, followed by cheers like a landslide and tsunami!
The S tournament is held in China for the first time, and it is undoubtedly a card within a card for all players!
This is also the time to show the charm of domestic esports to League of Legends players around the world.
And most importantly, the final of the League of Legends World Championship is in the Bird's Nest!
The location of the Olympic Games is almost a sign that e-sports has really been recognized by the country, and for countless domestic audiences, this S7 World Championship has brought them a much more important feeling than the finals of the rest of the seasons.
Many players are already gearing up, even though the price of tickets for each World Finals is actually about the same.
But going abroad and not going abroad are two different concepts entirely.
In your own motherland, no matter how far you run, even from the northernmost to the southernmost part of the country, it is just a matter of discounted air tickets.
The cost of food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as the degree of convenience, are much ahead of foreign countries.
In other words, in the hearts of these players, at least many of them can go to the scene and feel the atmosphere of the scene in this finals!
The final came to an end.
Li Mu's speech was heartwarming.
Uzi's interview was very simple, he just expressed his current mood in a few simple words, and bowed to the scene.
The curse of not having a crown for six years has now finally been broken.
This is far from the end for Uzi.
His goal, and the World Finals!
……
The finals on August 20 have come to an end, and only the bubble race in early September remains.
Because of the points in the spring tournament, EDG won the final third place, and won the first place in the total points except for Sac, and automatically guaranteed a place, without participating in the bubble match.
WE can only choose to enter the bubble tournament and compete with teams such as RNG for the last spot in the World Finals.
According to the rules of this year's S7 World Finals, due to the large number of teams and participants, a total of 144 players from 28 countries around the world participated.
Because last year's champion was Sac, the three places in the LPL went directly into the top sixteen.
The No. 3 seeds in the four regions of LCK/LMS/NA/EU will have to compete in two rounds of play-in tournaments against a total of 12 teams from eight teams from the Wild Card Regions to compete for a place in the 44 round of 16.
After a short break, SAC began training before the World Championships.
During the playoffs, Li Mu browsed the live broadcast rooms of major post bar forums and accumulated a lot of points.
These points are enough for the team to hold out until the end of the S7 World Finals.
The play-in tournament is scheduled for September 23, and the draw ceremony will be held half a month in advance.
On the day of the lottery, everyone in Sac sat around the computer, eating, drinking, talking and laughing.
Because for Sac, the result of this draw doesn't really matter.
The so-called death group in the World Championship is because there are two or more boss-level teams in each death group.
Obviously, no matter which group Sac falls into, he will take a boss's seat as a matter of course.
The concern now should be for all the teams in the other regions that are not the No. 1 seed.
They were to pray to God that they would not meet Sac.
Correspondingly, there are two other places that are more tight on the domestic side.
EDG and WE.
WE finally broke through in the bubble tournament and defeated RNG by a narrow margin of 3-2 to secure the No. 3 seed.
In comparison, RNG is a bit of a pity, and their strength on paper is still half as weak as other teams.
This year's RNG gives people the feeling that it is quite stable, the kind that wins when playing weak teams and loses when playing strong teams.
In any case, it is a few notches better than OMG, which was completely involved in the summer season.
EDG and WE are still relatively apprehensive, because there are still many strong teams in various major regions in the world at present.
Whether they can reach the quarterfinals of the World Championship and go one step further will depend on their performance at the World Finals.
"It's coming, it's coming, the draw has begun."
The incense pot said.
First, the No. 1 seeds in all four major regions are drawn and placed in the four group pools.
Because the LMS division had a good record last year, and North America was so bad, North America was kicked out and LMS replaced it.
The first to be drawn is LCK's No. 1 seed this year, Team LZ.
LZ was naturally assigned to Group A.
The next draw was FW, which was listed in Group B.
Sac was drawn in Group C.
There is no need to draw Group D, and G2 from Europe is sitting firmly.
"Group C is good, our lucky group."
The incense pot smacks its lips.
The rest of the team nodded approvingly.
They were in Group C at the S6 World Finals.
Needless to say, this year is Group C again.
Can good fortune come again.
Seeing one sign after another appear, other teams in the world expressed their unease.
First of all, the current team members of Group A have been decided.
LZ, European Rabbits MSF, and GAM.
Group B: FW, EDG, SKT.
Group C Sac, IMT, TSM.
Group D: G2, WE, AHQ.
"Wow, our group is a bit fierce, TSM is so fierce this year."
Uzi took a sip of hot water with a water glass.
Lately he feels like he's living a healthy life as an old man.
The drink or something is cut off, every day as long as you are thirsty, you will have hot water on the hour, put two wolfberries, not to mention, after drinking it habitually, uzi feels okay and can accept it.
No one is more hungry for the World Finals title this time around.
And Uzi also feels that this year may be his most promising year, and if it doesn't work out this year, maybe there will be no chance after that.
"They are known as invincible in training matches, and they play games, and to be honest, our grouping this time is a bit good."
Li Mu stretched.
He was a little surprised by this grouping.
In the current situation, even if the four places in the play-in round have not yet been decided, the intensity of each group in the group stage is very clear.
The first is Group A, according to Li Mu's impression, the most popular European team in the S7 season is G2.
The best is the Rabbit MSF, who almost killed SKT and made it to the semi-finals.
GAM is a special team that is the winner of the GPL playoffs.
So how the strength is played, Li Mu is not very impressed.
However, it can be seen that Group A is relatively clear, and perhaps the foreign media will be entangled in MSF and GAM, and there is no suspense other than that.
In other words, Group A LZ is undoubtedly able to qualify, followed by MSF, and the rest of the team Li Mu feels hanging.
