Doll also said at this time: "Next, let's invite the IG team and the IV team, they and the GD team, together with the GD team, form the three teams of our LPL to participate in the S competition, this year compared to before, there are veterans like children and rookie, but they are very young." The only one who is older is the eldest brother gogoing, and there are 9 young players in the D and IV teams. ”

"This will be a youth storm set off by the LPL, and I believe they can blow this youth storm to the World Championship." The doll said.

There was a burst of cheers from the audience.

The departure ceremony is not very long, after the simple departure ceremony, there is a star exhibition match, where Chinese stars composed of Jay Chou play against the Korean star team.

Of course, just like the LPL was beaten by the LCK, the level of the Korean star team is indeed quite high, and the Chinese star team was also beaten.

This also seems to indicate that this is the rehearsal of the LPL and LCK in the World Championship, and they will be beaten by the LCK in the S Competition.

Of course, all this has nothing to do with the IV team, and they didn't stay to watch the star exhibition game after the departure ceremony, but left the venue and flew back to Shanghai.

After a day of rest at the IG base, the next day, they officially left the IG team's base.

Moved into a new base.

The new base is much larger than the previous one, and they have rented a single-family villa directly, and the decoration is much better than the previous base.

Now the IV team is very different from the past, the current IV team has a lot of sponsors compared to the past, their popularity is invincible, and the merchandise is also selling very well.

The composition of the IV team is also relatively simple, the overhead is not particularly large, and they are one of the few clubs in the LPL that can make a profit.

Of course, they didn't stay very long at the new base, and the next day they flew directly to South Korea.

They will train in South Korea for a month before returning to China for the S7 World Finals.

The S7 World Finals will be held in China, and after seven years, the competition of the highest LOL event has finally arrived in China.

In this year's World Finals, the group stage will be held in Chongqing, the quarterfinals will be in Nanjing, the semifinals will be in Guangzhou, and the finals will return to Shanghai, the center of China's e-sports competition.

When they went to South Korea for a training camp, the last team in Korea also came out, and it was Team KT. So far, all three teams in South Korea have appeared, namely SKT, MVP and KT team.

These three teams participating in the S Tournament are also considered by South Korea and the world to be the three strongest Korean teams in history to participate in the S Tournament.

S3 to S6 South Korea dominated the S competition for four years, but S3 had a space team that was eliminated in the group stage, which was the predecessor of the Samsung White team.

S4 has NJS that has been beaten by OMG.

Although S5 and S6 said that the Korean team was eliminated by their own country's team, before the game, the media from all sides felt that other regions had the strength to win the championship, especially EDG and TSM, which were called invincible in the training match.

But in the main event, they are still no match for the Korean team.

And this year, since the S competition has not yet started, when they see the three teams from South Korea, everyone is desperate, even the KT team of the third type has a very strong strength!

Among the KT team, Semb, Deft, and Score!

It can be said that the KT team is also a galaxy battleship, and they also played five games in the playoffs and MVP, and their strength is also quite strong.

The North American article wrote: "This year is going to be the most desperate year for all the major regions, and our goal is to fight for the only place in the Final Four! ”

European media wrote: "The three major galactic battleships, can other divisions have the slightest chance? ”

Chinese media wrote: "South Korea is unprecedentedly strong, all major regions are full of heroes, the three young players of the LPL have no experience in the world competition, and they may become the biggest losers, and if the group is not good, there is no way to get out of the group stage." ”

……

The whole world is frantically boasting about the Koreans.

Under such circumstances, the members of Team IV silently arrived in South Korea, and they began to train in a completely closed environment, without even updating their official blogs, and did not accept any media interviews, as if they had completely disappeared from this world.

Teams all over the world feel that the Korean team is very strong, and they also think that Korean LOL is the most systematic, so many teams from all regions have come to South Korea for intensive training, so that the IV team can make appointments with teams from all over the world to play training matches.

Of course, their main opponent is the South Korean team.

At the same time, the last version before the S game has also been overhauled, and the smoke of the S game is already filling.

The hero pool of the members of Team IV is very terrifying, even if the version is overhauled, they can adapt to it without the kind of entanglement of the previous LPL, they can quickly adapt to the version, and they don't have to practice some heroes temporarily.

The disappearance of Team IV has worried many fans in Japan. Because there really is almost no news, they can only speculate through some information sent by other teams.

For example, TSM wrote on Twitter: "This year's LPL region is really weak, and the top seed was actually beaten by us. ”

G2 also wrote on Facebook: "Interesting, this year's S tournament is held in the LPL region, and I would love to see what they will do and feel when all three of their teams are out of the group stage." ”

……

Yes, they all won against Team IV in training matches, and they all won by big scores.

But what they didn't know was that Team IV was actually experimenting with the lineup on them during this time. And sometimes it is deliberately backward in the early stage, the purpose is to train the ability to find opportunities at a disadvantage and the ability to play a group under a disadvantage.

Training matches are always training matches, not regular matches, and a training match IV team is not very serious now, the purpose of training matches is to train, find out some problems of their own team and correct them.

What the IV team is training now is mainly the ability to cooperate in team battles in the later stage and the ability to find opportunities! And how to break the rhythm of operations!

The former is the European and American teams they are looking for, and the team battles of European and American teams have always been very strong, and since S2, there has been a CLG team known as invincible in team battles.

To break the rhythm of operation, they went to some Korean teams for training.

In fact, because in order to train themselves, the IV team did not perform very well from the training match from the beginning, losing more and winning less, which also led to some messages from other regional teams mocking the LPL region.

The IV team did not respond to this, and the spread of these news caused the entire LPL audience to fall into a fluster.

At the end of August, two spots in the wild card region finally appeared, and what was surprising was that Gu Linshan's former MG team successfully fought their way out of the encirclement. In addition, the Japanese team started too late after all, they were not able to enter the World Championship, and the other team that entered the World Championship was S6, which broke the fate of the wild card region in the world and became the first ANX team to break into the quarterfinals as a wild card.

At this point, all 16 teams of the S competition have also appeared.

On September 10th, Smile, as the representative of the LPL division, went to the United States for the group draw ceremony of this S competition!

Drawing the No. 3 seed pool, he single-handedly drew a CF team for the team of Team IV, which is Looper's team!

This team is the third seed in North America, but again, they are the most underrated team of all teams, and they are the team that TSM is five or five open!

The final teams were: Group A: SKT, C9, GD, G2.

Group B is: IV, MVP, CF, MG.

Group C is: TSM, IG, FNC, JT.

Group D is: F, MVP, H2K, ANX.

The moment this group appeared, the entire LPL division was completely shocked.

It can be said that this group is slightly better for the entire LPL e-sports circle, and the MG team, as a team in the wild card region, is not favored by many people, but because of S6, the enhancement of the strength of the wild card region cannot be underestimated.

MVP is recognized as the favorite to win the championship, and the CF team is also known as the team in North America and TSM.

Of course, no one feels like they're a match for MVP!

In Group C, where the IG team is located, TSM's strength is relatively favored by everyone, and the other three teams are of equal strength, of course, one advantage for IG is that they are not assigned to the Korean team.

As for the GD team, it is even worse, SKT is almost impossible to beat, and C9 and G2 are also very strong, and they are also placed in a group of death.

This result has made the entire LPL e-sports circle look down, and the grouping of the three LPL teams is not very good, and it is very likely that the three teams will be eliminated directly in the group stage.

At the same time, on the same day, Riot officially released the individual player power ranking of this S competition.

They release the top 20 players in four days!

On this day, the players ranked 16-20 were released, and two members of Team IV were on the list!

Zhang Yangyang ranked nineteenth, and the jumping knife ranked sixteenth!

When this list came out, it still made the LPL audience breathe a sigh of relief, because they all knew that the real core player in the IV team was Gu Linshan, so Gu Linshan's ranking must be much higher.

However, they all thought wrongly, among all the rankings that appeared in the following days, Gu Lin was not on the list!

There are only two people in the IV team on the list, and there are only four people on the list in the LPL region, the other is Rookie, who is ranked eighth, and the other is Ran Yin, who is ranked twelfth!

The top 10 LCK divisions occupy eight places. faker is naturally number one!

Among the junglers, Little Peanut ranks fourth, and it is also the highest position among all junglers.

Score is eighth, dandy eleventh! Another jungler on the list is the jungler karsa from LMS Division F.

When this list came out, the audience in the LPL division was completely speechless.

But after thinking about it carefully, they felt that it was indeed no problem, these four people were all players who had proven themselves in the World Championships, and compared to Gu Linshan, there was indeed a gap between them and them.
