Chapter 1349: Grouping, Debut!
Cheng Mu found that when they talked about S3 on the plane before, they seemed to only count fifteen teams?
This time, in addition to the four seeded teams in the top eight, the remaining 12 teams are divided into two groups and directly play the BO1 round-robin format to determine a total of four winners!
Yes, the two groups add up to a total of twelve teams, so that is to say, Cheng Mu, who didn't pay much attention to the group stage, missed a group stage member?
Well, now looking at the schedule chart on the computer screen, Cheng Mu also understands that the Saigon clown in the Southeast Asian division was selectively ignored by them before......
The European division, the North American division, and the Southeast Asian division were originally three teams each, and China relied on the All-Star to have one more ...... In this case, there are 12 teams in four divisions.
With the addition of South Korea and wild cards, sixteen teams are all together.
However, the format of this group stage has been announced a long time ago, and Cheng Mu has not studied it well because the group stage has nothing to do with him, and now, it seems that he can sit here quietly and analyze a wave.
Except for C9, FNC, Orange Bear, and Corsair, the rest of the teams were disorganized and divided into two groups: AB.
The members of Group A are skt, omg, LD, Saigon Joker, CLG, Brazilian giants.
Group B is SSO, Royal, GMB, TSM, Lightning Wolves, and Turkish Cyclone Kebab.
Obviously, whether it is compared to the overall strength or the strength of the top team, it is more difficult for Group B.
It is no exaggeration to say that even the most professional bookmakers would not dare to correctly open the market to advance to Group B before they play each other.
Whether it's Samsung Ozone from South Korea. Or the Chinese royal family, or the European GMB. TSM in North America, or the Bay Lightning Wolf. Almost all of them have a chance to qualify.
And because of this BO1 double round-robin format, it is very likely that you will not know who the final winner will be until the last day...... The group of death, worthy of its name.
Compared with the complex situation in Group B, the situation in Group A is obviously much clearer.
Except for the slightest possibility of qualifying for CLG led by a North American elder brother, the other three teams basically have to make travel purchasing opportunities in advance......
OMG and SKT should be the last two winners.
As for who can win the group and who can finish second in the group, it probably depends on the duel between the two.
Of course, no matter how chaotic the situation in Group B is. It doesn't matter who wins the first place in Group A, anyway, for all domestic audiences and foreign players, tomorrow's noon debut, omgVSskt, is the real highlight!
The Staples Sports Center, a well-known sports center even in the United States, is now the host of the S3 Grand Finals......
And on September 16, 13, at 12 noon local time, in the evening of Beijing time, the opening ceremony of the S3 finals finally began!
Cheng Mu and others served as a special seed team. Although they didn't have anything to do in the group stage, at least there were still live audience tickets.
Sitting in the infield, feeling the enthusiasm of the North American audience, looking at the brilliant lights on the stage. With all kinds of wonderful programs, Cheng Mu and 300 yuan and others can be regarded as seeing the world.
After all, no matter what, the global viewership of this S3 Finals. It would have to be millions, even tens of millions!
Sitting on it and facing the global simultaneous broadcast, it is estimated that some rookie players will be directly frightened and play abnormally......
OK. Whether it's OMG or SKT, the players on both sides are experienced.
When the first game is finally about to start. Cheng Mu couldn't help but get nervous...... OMG, who represents the face of the Chinese division, can he contain SKT, which is ranked first on the Riot team rankings, in his debut!
It is worth mentioning that the quality of the audience at the scene is quite high, no matter which team or player appears on the stage or is introduced on the big screen, they will always respond with enthusiastic applause and heartfelt cheers, which is still in stark contrast to the domestic LPL stadium......
It's no wonder that the S series is difficult to hold in China, in addition to online reasons, the enthusiasm and attitude of the audience are also very important.
"Haha, the scene is really hot, this trip to Los Angeles is not in vain!"
followed those foreigners shouting and coaxing, and it can even be said that the three hundred pieces that were completely integrated into it finally sat down panting.
Xiao Hongdou's face is also flushed, and such a lively place has always been his favorite.
Sister Yueyue and Brother Cui were sitting around, smiling.
Obviously, they love the atmosphere.
If it weren't for the fact that OMG now represents the dignity of China's LPL division, they might be the same as the audience, whether it is sticks or Chinese, they all went to shout and cheer.
"Hey, master, it's finally time to start banning...... It's been a long time since I've played a game.,I don't even know this version of the strong hero now.,Please analyze this game! Xiao Hongdou put down the glow stick, rubbed his hands, and asked Cheng Mu next to him excitedly.
Three hundred yuan and Bi Chaoshen also tilted their heads...... After a few days of slack, they are very excited to see the game again.
"Uh...... I don't dare to say it. ”
Cheng Mu scratched his hair and began to pretend to be ignorant.
In exchange, it is natural to have white eyes, others don't know, how can they not know, after returning to the hotel after playing in the past two days, Cheng Mu still has to watch a lot of game videos with relish?
That is, they have too much fun, otherwise according to Mu Dad's meaning, they may have begun to make all kinds of cross-cutting in American clothes by now.
"Well, SKT and OMG should have been playing training matches in a sealed seal for the past two days."
"The American server account sent by the roit company has been almost motionless for the past few days, and it is estimated that they have other accounts that are secretly training......"
"So both sides must have come prepared, but because it is the first game of this version, they will not amplify their moves too much, nor will they work too BP, they will test each other more."
"In this way, it can be easily deduced that the ban people are still mainly kidney stones, and the lineup is also a single meat, a jungler and a group, and a mid-laner assassin plus carry type assistance and partial single output AD."
"Almost, that's it."
After a serious analysis, Cheng Mu spread out his hand and said that the analysis was over.
Xiao Hongdou and Three Hundred Yuan and others also nodded.
They all agreed with Mu Dad.
Of course, in addition to what he said, there are many highlights of this game...... It's like the English narrator is talking about it now.
The stateless fox, faker's robbery and wine barrel, as well as the blind man of the elixir and benji, the invisible mouse of the umbrella emperor and the vine of piglet, whoever can get one of them will be super highlight!
PS: There's no place to check the information, the writing is too bad, the manuscript of the past two days is not very satisfied, the power is out of the network, the Internet café is not connected, and it is really tiring to want to code a word...... I'm really sorry.,Change this plot tomorrow.,Write S3 after that.。 (To be continued.) )
