One after another, the former LCK champions slowly came to the stage.

Two LCK champion supporters, wolf and mata.

Two LCK champions, AD, bang and ghost.

Two LCK champion midlaners, faker and pawn.

Two LCK champion junglers, bengi and peanut.

An LCK champion top-laner, marin.

Imp is often paced by marketing accounts, and he really likes LPL, so the LCK official gave up inviting him back after considering it.

Instead, he found the ghost.

And the champion on the single...... It's even harder to find.

Count the champions over the years.

S1FNC, European and American.

S2TPA, LMS.

S3SKT, but impact has already gone to Europe and the United States.

S4SSG, looper has already read the book and went, politely refused.

In the end, there was only Marin.

Because of S5, S6, S7, S8, there are only two champions on the list.

Except that S5 is marin + Xu Ruoguang.

S678, all Xu Ruoguang.

Champion on the list? Where are there other champions on the list!

Watching those honorary players waving to the camera with smiles, countless LCK fans exclaimed that their youth was back.

S4's SSW fans are even more tearful.

You must know that before S7's IP won the championship and won the championship, the big field was 3-0.

Almost certainly the most dominant team in Worlds is SSW.

They didn't see the IMP, but they knew why.

"I really cried when I saw them, and I was still studying at that time."

"That's nice......"

"Come on!! In the BO5 called life, you must continue to try your best to win! ”

The response from the audience was overwhelming.

Jeon Yong Joon's expression was serious, "Then, now I invite the legendary players to put on their robes for the players who are about to go to the World Championship!" ”

One senior player after another, smiling and dressing the players in the world championships.

But Xu Ruoguang is the only exception.

When Marin took the conquest in front of the staff next to him, Xu Ruoguang thought he was going to wear it for himself, and beckoned.

As a result, Marin smiled and shook his head.

"Ruoguang, I'm not qualified to put on a battle robe for you."

"What does it matter?"

Xu Ruoguang couldn't laugh or cry a little, just a formality, Marin is indeed his senior.

Although he robbed the starter, it is no problem to say that the seniors are up.

Marin just laughed and didn't say anything.

Xu Ruoguang simply waited patiently.

Gradually, one by one, the contestants put on the conquest, and each looked at the clothes on their bodies with a new look.

It was at this time that Quan Yongjun announced with a serious expression.

"Finally, let us applaud and welcome, Chairman of the LCK Format Committee, Mr. Lee Min-hyuk!"

"He's going to be the one to put the Emporer on the jersey!"

There was silence in the audience at first, and then there was a burst of earth-shattering cheers.

The barrage was also really taken aback.

"My God......"

"President? Doesn't that mean he's the most powerful person in the LCK? ”

"Is there anyone else you don't know about President Lee? At that time, after S7 was finished, he invited Emporer players to return to the LCK. ”

"Wow, Daihatsu!"

"Is this the face of Emporer? At most, the champion will come when others put on the shirt, but he is the one in charge of the LCK! ”

"It's reasonable, after all, he is the only quadruple champion, what qualifications does an ordinary champion have to cheer him up?"

"It's a proper privilege!! But I actually think it makes sense! ”

"yes, after all, Emporer's results are ...... It's just too dazzling. ”

Although the audience was surprised, not many people thought that this was the LCK kneeling and licking an LPL player outside of Chongyang.

It's very simple, the results are there.

People's achievements should be treated differently.

Brother, what are you Quadruple Champion?

Lee Min-hyuk walked onto the stage in a black haute couture suit with a gentle smile.

He walked up to Xu Ruoguang, took the conquest held by the staff, and winked at Xu Ruoguang.

"Didn't expect that, did you?"

Xu Ruoguang smiled, "Brother, does it have to be like this?" ”

He has a very good personal relationship with Li Minhyuk, and it is already a very good personal relationship.

Is he charismatic?

Xu Ruoguang doesn't think so.

He knew that Lee Min-hyuk was deliberately maintaining the relationship.

Coco Lee has such a personality, he is a pragmatist, also known as a doer.

When he deliberately wanted to deepen his relationship with Xu Ruoguang, Xu Ruoguang didn't have much resistance.

Because Xu Ruoguang doesn't hate doers.

Those who are willing to do things are still a little cuter than those who just want to make money.

And the reason why Lee Min-hyuk maintains this relationship is also very simple.

Xu Ruoguang was willing to come back to LCK at that time, but he personally went out.

Xu Ruoguang is willing to believe that he is back, in a sense, he is already a person in Li Minhyuk's camp.

The better Xu Ruoguang played, the more he seemed to be discerning.

For such a player, Lee Min-hyuk attaches great importance to it, and he can also put down his body to take the initiative to maintain this relationship.

Moreover, Lee Min-hyuk, who has a relatively superior background, is born with a good impression of hard-working people.

For a person like Xu Ruoguang, Li Minhe has a hunch that even if he doesn't play professionally in the future, he won't be able to go anywhere.

Such a person with perseverance and ability is born to succeed.

"With your grades, only I can put on a battle robe for you, Ruoguang."

He smiled slightly and helped Xu Ruoguang put on the conquest.

With a smile on his face, he stood beside Xu Ruoguang.

Under the bright lights, the young man was dressed in a conquest with the UR team logo, and his slender body seemed to glow.

Of course, this is not really shining, it is the lighting on the scene that is exerting force.

Off the field, the voices of Emporer and the like are also coming one after another, getting louder and louder.

Even if he's a professional player from the LPL, so what?

He became famous in our LCK for the first time, huh!

LCK viewers were initially more resistant to foreign aid.

But his champions, too many.

With such a strong foreign aid, the LCK audience can only be painful and happy.

"The 2019 League of Legends World Championship is about to begin, and the LCK, which has been in preparation for a year, is finally going to be tested by the World Championship."

Jeon Yongjun spoke solemnly.

"We are not afraid of failure, we are not afraid of the gap in strength, we have only one goal, that is, to win the S9 World Finals championship!"

"Everyone, cheer for the LCK!"

"Cheer for the players! Cheer on the team you love! ”

"There are a lot of strong opponents, but I believe in our players and can be the strongest!"

"LCK, never admit defeat!!!!!!"

"The crown of S9 will be won by LCK again!"

Off the field, the audience began to enthusiastically support, frantically waving the glow sticks in their hands.

"Come on, LCK!! LCK，fighting！！！ ”

"Gotta win!!!"

"Please, everyone!!"

Quan Yongjun bowed and did not get up for a long time.

When he got up again, the scene finally fell silent.

It was at this time that he announced the perfect end of the expedition ceremony.

There is no Mercedes-Benz, and there are no other endorsements and advertisements.

The departure ceremony has to be pure.

The players faced the audience, regardless of whether they retired or not, and looked serious.

After getting off the stage, Li Minhe patted Xu Ruoguang on the shoulder, didn't say anything, and handed him a card.

"A newly opened coffee shop, I have time to come and play, this is a free card."

Xu Ruoguang accepted it with a light car.

This brother has already given him cards four or five times, all of which are cards that are prostitutes for nothing when they arrive at the store, and the one who stands out is rich.

"Gone."

Coco Lee waved his hand in a chic manner, the assistant hurriedly came over, and two bodyguards escorted him away.

It was also at this time that the teammates dared to come over.

"Daihatsu ...... Ah, no, it should be ......"

"Damn, awesome! Brother, you accept me as a little brother, I will definitely saddle the horse for you! ”

Xu Xiu did not hide her envy at all.

That's the LCK president!

It's not too much to say that he has the final say in the entire LCK.

But such a character is very kind to Xu Ruoguang and has a very good relationship.

How can this not make Xu Xiu envious, jealous and hateful.

If he has such a relationship, he will still have a fart career?

Xu Ruoguang just laughed and didn't say much.

The departure ceremony is over, and the time for the World Championship is getting closer and closer.

As the "final battle" of the year, the League of Legends World Championship is a professional esports event that represents the highest honor in the hearts of all players and players.

Every year, many professional teams compete in the highest professional leagues in their regions, and only those with the highest results can earn tickets to the World Finals and challenge for the championship in front of the world's audience.

The total prize money of the World Finals is also more than one million dollars per year.

It's been four years since the last World Finals were held in Europe.

After Berlin, Germany, the 2019 World Finals also returned to Europe.

The World Championship will be held in three cities in three countries.

The Play-In and Group Stages will be held at the LEC studio in Berlin, Germany.

The play-in round is divided into two stages, October 2 to October 5, and after a short break, October 7 to October 8.

The schedule is still relatively tight.

The first half of the group stage is from October 12 to October 15, and the second half is from October 17 to October 20.

October 20th, this date is still a bit delicate.

But overall, it's good news for some teams, because the group stage has to be played until October 20, at least not on this day.

Is that good news?

There will be a five-to-six-day break after the fight on October 20, and then the knockout stage will start on October 26.

Quarterfinals, semi-finals, finals, finals.

The eight teams that qualify from the group stage will face off against each other to determine the winner of this year's World Finals.

There are some changes to the rules this time.

Because S8's MSI, S8's Worlds, and S9's MSI were all won by UR teams from the LCK.

The only one that belonged to the LPL was the S7 World Champion, and the team at that time was IP.

So according to the rules: the last four international tournaments completed before the 2019 World Championship, the LCK replaced the original LPL with 3 championships and won the third seed to directly qualify for the main event.

At the same time, the number of players has been increased to seven, and each team can bring two substitutes.

But in fact, there is no difference from the six, the seventh person is an emergency substitute, and it is basically possible for the first six to be sick and unable to play.

"So, we don't have seven of us."

In the UR lounge, kkoma was a little difficult for a while.

"Forget it, so be it."

He originally wanted to submit Ming Kai to it, but it was impossible to go on anyway, just fill it in casually.

Mingkai didn't retire, but he couldn't play.

But Ming Kai himself refused.

"Forget it, what's the point of writing it? Even if you let me play two group games, or even a knockout game, and get a skin, what's the point? ”

He spoke calmly.

"If it's not the championship that I really have an impact on, it doesn't make a difference between winning and not winning."

"Instead of stealing a championship that doesn't belong to me as a player, I can get my own eye skin as a coach."

Ming Kai smiled, "Brother kkoma, is it okay?" ”

"No problem, I don't care about this, I've already had it."

The road that kkoma does not care.

He was a little curious, "What kind of eye skin do you want to make?" ”

"If I could, I would like to be a widow."

"Yes, your widow, you can."

KKOMA and Ming Kai looked at each other and smiled.

He also has a deep impression of the S5MSI.

After all, it was one of the few BO5s he lost.

On September 23, the draw for the group stage hosted by Riot also officially began.

The seeded teams from the four regions this year are as follows:

LPL: No. 1 seed FPX, No. 2 seed EDG, No. 3 seed IG.

LCK: No. 1 seed UR, No. 2 seed KT, No. 3 seed SKT, No. 4 seed DRX.

LEC: No. 1 seed G2, No. 2 seed FNC, No. 3 seed SPY.

LCS: No. 1 seed TL, No. 2 seed C9, No. 3 seed CG.

In fact, it was supposed to be the five major regions, after all, the Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan competition areas are now considered one division.

However, because the strength is a bit bad, even if it is said that the original three divisions are combined, it is still not good, and even if there are three places, it is still not called the four major regions.

After half an hour of exciting draws, in the common witness of all the spectators, the grouping of the World Championship was completely established.

Group A: G2, KT, C9, Play-in Rounds TBD.

Group B: FPX, JT, GAM, Play-In TBD.

Group C: UR, FNC, AHQ, Play-in Rounds TBD.

Group D: TL, EDG, SKT, play-in rounds to be confirmed.

After the draw ceremony, various analyses of the World Championship teams also popped up on the Internet.

are all analyzing the seeded teams of this S competition.

"This qualifying form is a bit confusing, KT and G2 in group A? But C9's Worlds is really a bit of a story. ”

"Is it only me who thinks FPX will abuse the dishes in Group B? What kind of garbage team is it, JT is Jay Chou's team, right? But LMS sucks right now, it's not good at all, GAM...... What else can a Vietnamese team do? FPX is going to start abusing vegetables. ”

"Indeed, this year's FPX is too fierce, you can win a galaxy battleship like EDG, I can't think of a reason to lose the group stage, and strive to win all of them!"

"Am I the only one who follows IG? If IG qualifys, it should only be in Group C and Group A, right? There's definitely a chance to play against UR. Although this year's IG is not as fierce as last year, it can also keep up with the footsteps of EDG and FPX, and I look forward to my shy brother and Brother Guang fighting again! ”

"You shy brother? theshy, what kind of champion? Fighting? It's just a defeated hand.,The last sixteen-bar knife sister who killed the super god in the last World Championship wasn't your shy brother? ”

“theshy？ Who? ”

"It's really funny, you can compare theshy to a runner-up and a four-time champion, so what else can I say about you?"

"Am I the only one looking at Group D? I feel that Group D is the most competitive, the TL of the No. 1 seed in North America is not bad, and the strength of EDG and SKT is needless to say, I feel that this should be the most hellish group stage. ”

"I don't dare to think if IG goes to Group D, but it seems that there is a principle of avoidance in the same group, right? It's true that I can only go to Group A and Group C, ghost, if Brother Guang abuses theshy directly in the group stage, then I don't dare to think about it. ”

"Put nmdp, will my IG lose FNC and AHQ?"

The online discussion was very enthusiastic, and many teams started to work during this time.

First up is the FPX team's mid laner doinb.

One of his earthy dances can be regarded as pulling the butts of Europeans and Americans with knives and opening their eyes.

"Is this your excuse to break up————"

"If you were to do it all over again~ would you not~ I would love me!"

"Love makes people happy~ It also brings torture~"

Doinb directly incarnated as the Lord of the Shadow Stream, and in one breath, he began his crazy dance with a wild laugh.

It can only be said that it is people, and I eat.

He's a kid, and the little P of the G2 team can't help it.

Why don't I have a dream of being a dancer?

Directly tweeted, with the BGM of this song "Love", the highlight is an abstraction.

And Caps's grandfather also got involved, and for a time it actually caused a trend.

Later, FPX also posted a video of ADC Lin Weixiang shaking his hand, which pushed the heat to a climax.

Beanie shoes, leggings.

My name is Lin Weixiang, you remember!

At such a time of vitality and competition, many fans called on UR to follow the trend and participate.

But at this time, UR doesn't have any such meaning at all, and they are still constantly improving themselves.

Until October 3rd, UR left for Berlin, Germany.

UR officials just sent out the first tweet of this time.

Twitter is simple.

“I'm coming。”

I'm coming.

The accompanying picture is a photo of UR and his party smiling and waving to the camera in the airport.

However, even such a simple tweet still caused huge heat.

To be precise, it was caused by Xu Ruoguang.

How exaggerated is Xu Ruoguang's popularity now?

Riot's official Twitter account tweets about the World Championship are tens of thousands of retweets at most.

But UR's tweet alone has hundreds of thousands.

To say that Xu Ruoguang's popularity is higher than that of Riot is really not just talking.

The number of followers of Xu Ruoguang on Twitter is also a ruthless explosion of the number of followers of League of Legends.

And even several times more.

What stands out is a high popularity.

In Europe and the United States, there may be people who don't pay attention to League of Legends, but as long as he pays attention to e-sports, it is basically impossible for him not to know Xu Ruoguang.

This is the real top player.

What uzi, what faker, no, it's not comparable at all.

What brother are you? [Doubts]

ESPN's player rankings don't rank Xu Ruoguang at all.

The reason is clear.

Their statement is: [The legendary top laner Emporer, who has overwhelming strength, was excluded from the player rankings of this World Championship, because no amount of praise for such a player is meaningless, we can't define him, and we can't predict his results, we just want to say that maybe all viewers who follow League of Legends should know that their king is back.] 】

In a word, this man is too fierce.

Putting him in line with the other players is a bit of a bully.

Directly is an extraordinary.

The ranking is directly ???

This row is too much.

However, it is precisely because Xu Ruoguang's world championship has never disappointed that there will be such a toution.

If you're not fierce, who blows you.

"This is Berlin? It's funny enough,"

At this time, Xu Ruoguang opened his mouth twitching.

In front of him was a slightly cracked wall.

It's really going abroad, the more I find out, and the information on the Internet is really blowing.

At least this time Riot arranged the accommodation for the players...... Not really.

It's okay in general, but it's still a bit ...... Shabby.

But in fact, Riot really tried its best, because this building is like this, a little old.

Xu Ruoguang can only say that his luck is a little bad.

He put down his backpack and fell asleep.

I'm not sleepy at all, but I have to sleep.

Because the time difference needs to be adjusted.

At this time, the play-in tournament is still in full swing, and there are some very interesting teams among them.

DFM, needless to say, the last hope of the Japanese who have a good life.

Shangdan Empire is still very eye-catching, and he is also a person with a very dream.

And then there's the North American No. 3 seed, the classic CG.

To be honest, playing this kind of game as the No. 3 seed in the four major regions is generally crushing.

There's an amazing wild card team called RYL.

But it has nothing to do with that royal family, it is Turkey's No. 1 seed.

Then there's South Korea's fourth-seeded team, DRX.

Then there is the third seed IG of the LPL.

This time there is no No. 4 seed in the LPL, because Vietnam can come this time.

In the past, there was a visa problem, and this year's Vietnamese team LK is very well prepared.

Before the start of the group stage, UR was also relatively idle.

The intensity of the training is not low, but it is not as crazy as the previous special training.

KKOMA has come to trust the players after special training, and now it's useless to overtrain at the Worlds, just maintain your condition.

So the natural state that UR manifests itself in is......

It doesn't seem to train much.

changed the appearance of being silent some time ago, and began to actively operate on Twitter.

Naturally, this has also caused a lot of fans to worry.

"Don't you train?"

Such doubts are normal.

Even if UR officially explained, they still didn't believe it.

For a while, the champion seed team UR is suspected of insufficient training, and the state of the World Championship is worrying! Such a shocking headline began to circulate.

The other teams were shocked.

Is that UR you are talking about the UR we know?

When we played training matches with them, we didn't win!

The amount of training in UR is obviously only a little less, not as crazy as some time ago, but it has been organized by the marketing account as if it is not trained at all, which is outrageous.

In such an eerie atmosphere, the play-in round is over.

October 12th, the group stage, begins!

Today, too, is UR's first battle.
