The group stage has all ended, and all 4 teams in the LCK region have advanced to the top 8, and they are the biggest winners.

The LPL region followed closely behind, with 3 teams entering the top 8.

It can be said that in this year's S8 World Finals, LCK and LPL will play the leading role.

After the group stage, the next step is the crucial draw for the top 8.

The draw for the top 8 is also very simple, with the first place in the four groups in one container and the second place in the four groups in another.

The first draw will be the top half, followed by the bottom half.

According to the principle of group avoidance, if the same group is drawn together, it will automatically roll down to the next group.

For example, if EDG is drawn with the SKT team, then the last SKT drawn will automatically enter the next group.

In general, the rules of this lottery are very simple, and you can basically understand it at a glance.

After the group stage, everyone was watching the draw ceremony.

The draw ceremony was very simple.

It's just a host and a few lottery guests.

However, the draw for the quarterfinals has attracted a lot of attention.

The audience also attached great importance to this group draw.

"If RNG draws EDG and IG teams, it will be really miserable."

"Although the IG team is the first in the group, there is a high probability that it will meet SKT, and if the IG team meets the SKT team, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"I hope the three teams in the LPL region don't meet."

The audience in China kept praying.

They didn't want the three teams in the LPL region to come together.

On the RNG team's side.

Brother Feng led the players to watch tonight's group draw very seriously.

It can be said that this group draw is related to the fate of their team.

"We are second in the group, and among the four group firsts, GEN and IG are relatively weak, and EDG and KT are too strong."

Because they are second in the group, Brother Feng thinks that the best outcome for them is to run into GEN or IG.

To be honest, Brother Feng prefers that they can meet IG.

Because in the Bo5 format, they have the hope of defeating IG, which is dominated by recklessness.

The overall strength of the GEN team is particularly strong, and there is also a particularly strong mid-to-late stage operation.

Therefore, the best result for an RNG team is to meet an IG team in the same region.

After Brother Feng finished speaking, Uzi shrugged his shoulders slightly.

He knows that the strength of the four group winners this year is very strong, and no matter which team they meet, there is a high probability that they will not be able to beat it.

However, being able to reach the quarterfinals has already achieved their goal for this year.

RNG has changed a lot this year, and after the spicy fragrant pot is not in good shape, Kasa stepped up to take on the jungler position.

Kassa's individual ability is very strong, and if it weren't for his very good play in recent games, I'm afraid they wouldn't even be able to reach the quarterfinals.

Uzi feels that it is enough to enter the top 8, and he has no desire.

In the past, he was bent on winning the World Finals, but in reality, it was really cruel.

The EDG led by Su Wen is an invincible battleship, and no warband can defeat them.

The four teams in the LCK region are very strong, and they can't beat them at all.

Although Uzi was unwilling, he was helpless.

"Let's calm down, no matter which team we meet, we can touch it."

Although Uzi said so, his heart was already convinced.

However, he is also very much looking forward to it, praying that the team can draw the lottery.

Xiaohu took a deep breath and shook his head with a wry smile.

"When I was in the league, I thought we were already very strong, but when I came to the Worlds, I found that there were too many strong teams."

Xiaohu is telling the truth.

There are many strong teams in the world, and any team can easily beat them.

The S8 season is not very kind to them.

Xiao Ming also calmed down.

"Let it be! Of course...... If we can really get a good signing, we can also fight for it. ”

On the RNG team's side, the coaches and players still have illusions.

Meanwhile.

Team IG's side.

The coach also took his players to watch the draw ceremony.

And it was at this time that the KT team was pumped out.

In this way, Team KT was placed in the top half of the division.

That is, A1.

One team will be drawn from the four group runners-up.

They will be the opponents of A2, which is KT team.

Team KT is one of the best in the world, and nothing good will happen to any team against them.

Everyone held their breath.

Waiting for the results of the draw.

And it was at this time that the GRF team was drawn.

No one thought that GRF would encounter Team KT.

In this year's Summer Championship, the two teams met twice, and in the end, Team KT came out on top and managed to beat GRF to win the match.

Now in the quarterfinals, KT has met GRF again, and it can be said that it is not a bitter rivalry.

The two teams in the LCK region met each other.

This is something that no one had thought of before.

The overall strength of the GRF team is also very strong, they did not do well in the group stage, and they were found by the IG team.

That's why they will advance to the quarter-finals as group runners-up.

Now that they've come up against a much stronger KT team, it's definitely a signing.

After King Ning saw this scene, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

"Griffin's idea is too back, and I ran into a super strong KT team."

Ning Wang thinks that GRF's form this year is okay, but if they play against the KT team, the winning rate is only 30%.

Ning Wang had already learned GRF in the group stage, and he felt that the strength of the GRF team was still relatively strong.

KT and GRF team meet, and GRF will definitely be eliminated.

King Ning gloated.

Rookie on the side also said with a smile: "GRF is so strong that it will stop in the quarterfinals, it can only be said that their ideas are relatively back, if it is placed last year, GRF may hit the championship." ”

Rookie knows Team Griffin very well and he thinks that the team as a whole is very strong.

Unfortunately, they were unlucky and ran into a more perverted KT team.

Ah Shui also rubbed his hands gently after hearing everyone's discussion.

"Now that Griffin has been drawn, only SKT, TL and RNG are left in second place in the group."

Ah Shui's heart was faintly excited.

"Aside from the SKT team, TL and RNG are not our opponents at all."

Ah Shui secretly prayed in his heart that he would never touch SKT.

SKT is, after all, an established team and the team with the best record in League of Legends history.

Although they have been in average condition for the past two years, the emaciated camels are bigger than the horses.

SKT has the best team of analysts in the world, and their lineup is a real headache.

After Baolan on the side heard this, he also said very carefully: "As long as you don't touch SKT, you will be signed." ”

They did everything they could to finish top of the group, just to avoid the big teams.

Now SKT is second in the group, which is not a good thing for them.

Theshy was looking forward to it.

"I don't think we need to worry, with our current state, it's okay to play SKT, there is no problem."

Theshy ushered in the peak of his life after reaching s8, and his sword demon and Qinggang Shadow were very good.

IG has been able to get to where it is now, and theshy has contributed a lot.

He's been in really good shape.

Team IG is truly at its peak at the moment.

The EDG team is here.

When Abu saw that KT and the GRF team were drawn together, he immediately teased, "It's really too rolly!" ”

Abu knows that there are a total of four teams in the LCK region that will reach the quarterfinals, and no matter how they draw lots, they will run into each other, which is inevitable.

The factory director also gloated and said: "It would be nice if GEN and SKT also met together, so that they don't have to do anything in the division, and they can kill the two teams in the LCK division." ”

The director of the factory is constantly fantasizing.

The elementary school brother on the side also smiled after hearing the words of the factory director.

"If that's the case, the LCK division will have to cry to death."

He burst out laughing.

The sister also said very seriously: "If that's the case, we may also draw RNG." ”

What the sister is telling is the truth, in terms of probability, if SKT and GEN are drawn together, then one of the three teams in the LPL region will definitely meet.

Su Wen smiled slightly after hearing everyone's speculation.

"I think this draw for the top 8 is really boring, and it is better to clarify the division directly in the group stage."

Su Wen thinks that the system of League of Legends should learn from the World Cup system, and everything can be done directly in one draw.

This saves a lot of trouble.

While Su Wen was talking, the IG team was pulled out.

They were drawn in the top half of the division, which is B1.

Next up B2 is their opponent.

Seeing this situation, Su Wen took a deep breath and said with a smile: "RNG, SKT and TL teams choose 1 out of 3!" I think IG can win the game and enter the top 4 if it meets any of these three teams. ”

Su Wen feels that there is no problem for the current lineup of the IG team to enter the top four.

"But after they get to the top four, it's a bit unrealistic for them to beat KT."

Su Wen still insisted on his previous opinion.

I think the KT team is really in good shape this year, and the team like the IG team that is biased towards fighting is easy to be restrained by the KT team through tactics.

After Su Wen finished speaking, Abu and the factory director also agreed.

They all know that Su Wen's prediction ability is very strong, and his analysis of the major teams is very good.

In the eyes of the outside world, the IG team already has the strength to challenge for the World Finals, but in their opinion, IG will definitely stop at the top four.

After the IG team is drawn, the next step will be to draw the opponent of the IG team in the quarterfinals.

A minute later, the RNG team was drawn.

No one thought that RNG would actually encounter the IG team. This is something that no one expected.

Team IG didn't run into SKT and TL teams, they ran into RNG teams from the same region.

When iboy saw this lottery, he smiled directly.

"The RNG team is really unlucky, and it actually met the IG team in the middle of the day, this is the LPL regional battle!"

iboy feels that the overall strength of the IG team is very strong, and after encountering RNG, IG will definitely win the game.

After iboy finished speaking, Su Wen took a deep breath. "The last thing I want to see RNG and IG play, and from the current situation, IG is definitely superior."

After thinking for a moment, Su Wen expressed his opinion. "I think IG can really win, but maybe they have to play bo5."

He felt that IG would not be easy to play against the RNG team, but IG would eventually win the match with a score of 3:2.

After this game, they will definitely be depressed.

On the RNG team's side, Brother Feng was also depressed because they ran into IG in advance.

IG's performance in this world is very strong, and with the current form of their team, they will definitely not be able to beat it.

Brother Feng didn't give up.

"I think I'm going to have to change our tactics a little bit and still have a chance to win."

Uzi and Kasa and others also feel that they know IG very well and may really be able to win IG.

It can be said that encountering IG is also a very good choice, which is much better than encountering EDG.

In the eyes of the RNG team, if they run into EDG, they have no hope of winning.

On the IG team's side, after meeting the RNG team, they all felt that they had entered the top 4.

RNG is on par with them in the league, but when it comes to the Worlds, and it's still the version of Kami-Nakano, we can definitely beat RNG.

Ning Wang and Rookie and others also felt that they would definitely enter the top 4.

is a sign-up.

The big teams also believe that the IG team has a high probability of winning the game.

The four teams in the top half of the division have been decided, and the teams from the second half will go out next.

Everyone was very nervous about the draw ceremony.

A minute later, the GEN logo appeared on the big screen.

They are C1.

Because EDG and SKT are in the same group stage, according to the draw rules, the two teams cannot be grouped together.

So GEN's opponent has been determined, and that is SKT!

EDG's opponent is Team TL!

Team GEN and SKT collided.

Although this lottery ceremony is not over, the results have actually been released.

In the hotel where the TL team is staying.

The coach shook his head a little frustrated when he saw that they were about to face EDG.

"It was so miserable to be drawn into the bottom half of the division."

The coach's heart was very depressed.

In his opinion, EDG is the strongest team at the moment, and we would rather run into KT and IG than EDG.

After the coach finished speaking, the top laner Impact also shook his head gently.

His heart was also very depressed.

"Su Wen is the strongest of all the top laners I've ever seen."

Impact has studied EDG carefully, and he feels that one of EDG's strongest points is Su Wen.

Jungler Xmithie rubbed her hands together.

"I think we still have a chance, Su Wen can't be so powerful forever."

Xmithie did very well in the group stage of this year's Worlds, and although they lost to KT in the end, it still didn't hide his brilliance.

Xmithie has also become one of the top junglers in the world.

Pobelter, a mid-laner player, has a more serious expression.

"I also think that EDG is not invincible, since they have been placed in a group, they must be defeated!"

Team TL is a super strong team in North America, and they do form a certain fighting power.

Team TL is already working on the preparations.

And on the side of the EDG team.

Everyone was very happy to know that their opponent was Team TL.

Because in their opinion, the TL team is the weakest team in the top eight.

"Great! Sign up! ”

Abu was happy like a child at this moment, dancing with his hands.

"Tonight's draw was perfect."

After Abu finished speaking, the factory director on the side looked at him and said: "If we can fight with other teams, we still need to prepare some tactics, but after encountering the TL team, we only need to see the moves." ”

The factory director felt that they didn't need to release the ultimate move at all.

After all, the overall strength of the TL team is simply too weak.

They don't have to unleash their ultimate at all.

The junior brother even exaggerated and ridiculed: "Use a cattle slaughtering knife to kill chickens!" I think we're going to win 3-0 easily. ”

The junior brother is eager to try.

He didn't think the quarter-finals were difficult at all.

Su Wen didn't expect that they would be so lucky to draw TL.

Originally, they had already prepared a lot of tactics, and judging from the current situation, there was really no need to release the ultimate.

That's a good thing for them, they won't reveal too much of their tactics until the quarter-finals.

iboy and sister buckle also felt that the team had drawn a lottery.

Their stress was a lot less instantaneous.

Everyone gathered together to celebrate wildly, as if they had reached the Final Four.

TL is one of the hottest teams, and it can be said that there is no pressure to play them.

However, there is more or less pressure in the heart of the factory director.

Because in his opinion, after defeating the TL team, they will most likely meet the GEN team.

This year, the GEN team as a whole is very strong, and the semi-finals are destined to be a fierce encounter.

Thinking of this, the factory director became much calmer.

Su Wen glanced at the factory director with his peripheral vision, and then gently patted him on the shoulder.

"Factory! Don't be too stressed! GEN has really upgraded their squad this year, but we were able to beat them last year, so we can definitely do this year. ”

"I don't think it's a big problem."

Su Wen voiced his opinion.

In his opinion, they will most likely play GEN in the semi-finals, and at that time, as long as they prepare three unexpected sets of tactics, they can win the game and advance to the final.

After hearing Su Wen's comfort, the factory director also regained his self-confidence.

……

After the draw for the top 8, the domestic audience had mixed reactions.

After all, RNG and IG are in a group, and they are bound to have a team that will stop in the quarterfinals.

Fans of the IG team think that this year's RNG team is vulnerable, and IG will definitely win.

Fans on the RNG side believe that as long as RNG can change some tactics, there is a chance to win the game if they get the version of the strong hero.

Fans of both teams engaged in a heated debate online.

The match between RNG and IG became the focus battle.

The EDG team is much less popular.

After tonight's draw is over, the quarterfinals are officially released.

Top Half Division: KT vs. GRF, IG vs. RNG

In the second half of the division, GEN vs. SKT, and EDG vs. TL

After the final eight match tables were released, all the major teams were interviewed by the media.

On the TL team's side, in the face of the strong EDG team, they did not admit it, but openly shouted on the Internet.

In particular, Impact, the top laner, posted rampant remarks on the Internet.
