Chapter 314: A Blessing or a Curse?
"Welcome to the lottery ceremony, and let's have Mr. Brandon and Mr. Yorick to bring us the lottery paper. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"
On the big stage, at the invitation of the hostess Sjokz, Riot President Brandon and the president of the European Esports Association, Yorick, took the stage.
In the hands of the two, one holds the division sequence, and the other holds the list of the other four teams that have reached the quarterfinals.
According to the rules, each of the four seeded teams will send a representative to the draw.
And the first person to be invited was Lin Mu, who represented RT.
"Please draw the partition first." Sjokz invited Lin Mu to the two big guys.
BOTTOM1!
Regarding the division, Lin Mu drew the BOTTOM1, which is the first place in the lower half.
Coincidentally, TABE, who represented the royal family in the lottery in his previous life, also won exactly this serial number.
"Next, draw your opponents in the quarterfinals." Sjokz alerts.
At this time, not only the four teams facing the selection in the audience were tense, but even Lin Mu's hands became trembling.
In his previous life, TABE was smoked OMG because of bad hands, which led to the early meeting of the two Chinese teams in the quarterfinals, and was ridiculed by domestic players for a lifetime.
Now that it's Lin Mu's turn, how can he not be nervous?
In the footage, Brandon personally sent the sign to Lin Mu.
"How many cards did TABE draw in his previous life?" His gaze swept over the four pieces of paper arranged in the other party's hand, and Lin Mu tried to recall the scene when he watched the live broadcast in his previous life.
It's just that so many years have passed, how can he still remember how many TABEs were drawn?
"No matter, just draw one." Taking a deep breath, Lin Mu stretched out his hand to the fist boss.
Fourth!
Yes, Lin Mu drew the last one, although he couldn't remember the OMG that TABE drew in the first few cards in his previous life, but he was sure that it was definitely not the last one.
"Please open your envelope and show the team you drew in front of the camera." Sjokz reminds everywhere that all parties are doing their duty as a host.
“OK。” Lin Mu could not speak well, but he still had good hearing, and after hearing Sjokz's reminder, he quickly shredded the envelope and held up the card with the team's logo and initials printed on it to the camera.
A golden double collision icon!
Anyone who is familiar with the skins of previous champions will be familiar with this team icon.
It is the icon shining on the Wind Maiden staff in the original painting of the S1 Champion Skin.
"Oh, the opponent of the first group of quarterfinals has been released, and Shimogi has drawn Fnatic from Europe!"
"RT and FNC, they will compete for a place in the bottom half of the first division to enter the final four."
"It's okay, good luck." After the results came out, Lin Mu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Before he came to power, he was most worried that he would make the same mistake as TABE, when history would repeat itself, and the two Chinese teams would kill each other, making the relatives hate the enemies faster.
Frankly speaking, Lin Mu would rather draw SKT than compete with OMG for a place in the top four, because then even if he wins, he will be bombarded by domestic players.
Of course, being able to draw a relatively weak FNC is undoubtedly a better choice.
Needless to say, Lin Mu drew a good lot.
After shaking hands with FNC's midlaner Xpeke, the two sides came to the other side of the stage together.
After Lin Mu, the next to take the stage is the North American seeded team C9 representative Hai Zhangmen.
TOP1!
"Oh no, the butterfly effect has occurred." Seeing that the head of the sea was drawn to the upper half of the area, Lin Mu, who was standing aside as an audience, suddenly felt that something was wrong.
He remembered very well that C9 should have been in the lower half of the district in his previous life, within a half of the royal family and OMG.
"But none of that matters, because it's going to change anyway, and their opponents have already been taken away by us in advance." When the head of the sea began to draw the opponent, Lin Mu couldn't help but watch the change.
GMB!
It has to be said that C9 had good luck in that they drew the weakest of the remaining three teams that came out of the group stage.
In this way, only the most difficult OMG and SKT remain undrawn.
This means that the remaining two seeded teams from South Korea and Taiwan will inevitably meet these two teams.
"Let's move on." At the invitation of the host, Najin Black Sword came to the stage as the third seeded team to draw lots.
It is worth mentioning that almost as Cain, an assistant player, reached for the signing paper, a shout of SKT rang out from the audience.
I'm afraid that all players in the world, except for the Koreans, hope that these two Korean teams can meet in the quarterfinals, and the first one will be folded.
Although Lin Mu didn't say it verbally, he would have some such thoughts in his heart.
However, when the results of the draw came out, everyone gasped.
BOTTOM2+OMG!
"It's messed up, everything is messed up." Watching the black sword and OMG draw together, Lin Mu suddenly had mixed feelings, and he didn't know what to think.
In the draw process of the previous life, it was the two Chinese teams that were concentrated in the lower half, while the two South Korean teams were divided into the top half of the region, so that they could meet in the finals.
However, with this signing, three of the four Chinese and South Korean teams were assigned to the bottom half.
After the first three teams were drawn, the remaining orange bears no longer needed to draw lots, so they consciously stood with the last remaining SKT.
After some shuffling and rearrangement, the final draw was as follows:
Top half: TOP1 - C9 vs. GMB, TOP2 - Orange Bear vs. SKT
Bottom half: BOTTOM1 - RT vs. FNC, BOTTOM2 - Najin Black Sword vs. OMG
"Is it doomed that you can't avoid the fate of civil war?" Looking at the matchup table that appeared on the big screen, Lin Mu had mixed feelings in his heart.
Although for this group, the evaluation of domestic commentators is that both teams have hope of reaching the semi-finals, and once this happens, they can guarantee the final.
However, in Lin Mu's opinion, this kind of remark is undoubtedly a fart, didn't the royal family in the previous life also guarantee to enter the semi-finals, and then entered the finals with their own efforts, but what is the final result? It's not the bloody head that was sprayed by all the players, and even the tune that owes the champion has come out.
Ask yourself, Lin Mu would rather switch positions with the Orange Bears in the top half and face SKT than meet OMG in the next semi-finals.
Judging from the current situation, the butterfly effect created by the emergence of RT has completely departed from the historical trajectory of the previous life.
Even Lin Mu himself didn't know whether this was a blessing or a curse?
