September 29th.

With RNG's 3-0 win over YG, the four qualifiers for the play-in tournament were confirmed.

g。

HKA, the third seed in the LMS division, fell to the hands of the FNC, while the FB in the Turkish region managed to advance to the group stage.

Although the group stage is only the starting point for seeding places in the five major regions.

But for wild cards, making it to the group stage is already a luxury.

Although they also know in their hearts that they are likely to be out 0-6 in the group stage, being able to play against strong teams is a kind of growth in itself.

At the end of the play-in round, the four teams will be drawn by lot to determine the final group.

This time, fate is on RNG's side again.

The final draw put them in the easiest group to qualify - Group D.

It can only be said that it is the ultimate good sign!

Group A: Ig, SKT, AHQ, C9.

The addition of C9 officially turned Group A into the Group of Death.

What a death, ignoring the second seed AHQ in the LMS region, IG, SKT and C9 may be eliminated!

Although from the point of view of hard power, IG and SKT are unique gears.

But North American Light surprises audiences almost every year.

Group B: LZ, IMT, GAM, FNC.

There are no LPL teams in this group, so in terms of ornamentation, it may be slightly worse.

In other words, LZ is not difficult in the group stage, and it can be regarded as the team that can undoubtedly appear first in the group among the four groups.

It's also a good sign for the South Korean team.

Group C: G2, SSG, EDG, FB.

Looking at the first three in itself is enough to die.

FB went in, and it didn't seem to have disturbed the situation in Group C.

Before the game, the audience may have felt that SSG and EDG will work together to qualify for the World Championship.

But.

Some teams may always give you a big surprise.

Specifically, it goes without saying.

Group D: FW, TSM, MSF, RNG.

If you want to say that the easiest group to qualify, it belongs to RNG.

None of the teams in Group D pose a threat to RNG, and the group qualification is basically certain.

However, TSM bragged wildly before the tournament, saying that they had barely lost a training match, and this year was their most promising year to advance to the knockout rounds!

……

During this time, IG really did not relax at all and actively prepared for the World Championships.

Playing training matches, reviewing and finding problems, and then reflecting and adjusting, every day is the same, repeating the boring training life.

A lot of IG players are tired of it.

But seeing that Liu Shuai was still training so hard, they also became active.

Just like that sentence, a person who just joined the IG first team and won the regular season and playoffs has worked so hard, what qualifications do you have to rest?

Of course, what his teammates didn't know was that Liu Shuai had actually been brushing up on tasks.

[Ding, the golden quest has been completed, changing the status quo of the hanbok]

[Mission Objective: Use the assistance marked as "Black Technology" to win 10 high-quality Hanbok rounds]

[Target Progress: 10/10]

[Task Reward: Choose a player with the mark "Black Technology" to increase the auxiliary proficiency to MAX, and "Quick Thinking" colored fetters]

[Quest limited-time buff: When using the "Black Technology" support mark, you will get the top proficiency of this hero, only in Hanbok rank]

[Ding, the golden quest has been triggered, fully prepare for the World Championship]

[Mission Objective: Win 20 Canyon Top Rank matches with support below the top proficiency level of each type]

[Target Progress: 0/20]

[Quest Reward: Choose the support below the top proficiency of each type to increase the proficiency to MAX, and the golden bond of "Fighting Spirit Against the Wind"]

Recently, the system has been busy.

The tasks are one after another, and Liu Shuai is also very busy.

After all, every mission reward could be one of his Worlds chips.

He had to be well prepared.

IG's schedule has already been released.

The first match against AHQ will be played on the first day of the match day on October 5th.

The night before the competition, the official website of ESPN updated the list of the top 20 best players in 2017.

It is also the famous "poisoned milk list".

This is a list that once failed to milk dade, and there are countless professional players who have suffered with him.

……

【top1:faker】

【Position:Medium Single】

[Team: SKT T1]

【Division: LCK Division】

[Introduction: As always, faker proved that nothing is impossible, he did not finish first in the World Finals last year, and although he did not perform well before the World Championship last year, he was still able to regain his spirit at this year's event and once again proved that he is the best player in the world. 】

……

【top2：pary】

【Location:ADC】

【Team:LZ】

【Division: LCK Division】

[Introduction: Pary's performance in the summer duel was a bit of a surprise to us, I think everyone remembers the ice shooter he used in Rox Tiger last year, and after he joined LZ this year, his bottom lane combination with Gorilla has become the strongest bottom lane in the world.] 】

】

……

【top3：gorilla】

【Position: Auxiliary】

【Team:LZ】

【Division: LCK Division】

[Introduction: As Pary's partner, the two of them should be tied for second place, but ADC is often responsible for the team's main output, so Pary is ranked second, and Gorilla, who is in third place, may be the strongest support in this world. 】

……

【top4：khan】

【Position: Order】

【Team:LZ】

【Division: LCK Division】

[Introduction: There is no doubt that there is no one of the strongest top laners in this World Championship, and the reason why he is ranked fourth is obviously because the version of the World Championship may not be conducive to Khan's play, but you think about it, LZ's bottom lane is in front of him, how terrifying this team will become!] 】

……

【top5：theshy】

【Position: Order】

【Team: IG】

【Division: LPL Division】

[Introduction: Theshy has shown enough dominance in the LPL region, but judging from the results of the first seed in the LPL region in the past, Theshy has not been ranked in a higher position, looking forward to his performance in the World Championships, maybe he can be higher on this list]

……

【top6：bdd】

……

【top7：wolf】

……

【top8：cuvee】

……

【top9：handsome】

【Position: Auxiliary】

【Team: IG】

【Division: LPL Division】

[Introduction: Generally, there are few 3 assists in the top10, obviously I broke the precedent for Handsome, Handsome's performance in the LPL is too bright, the regular season and the playoffs MVP proved his value in the team, but it's still that problem, the LPL No. 1 seed has a curse, and the performance in the division is not the same as the World Championship will play well, although he has a lot of unique hero pools that make us shine, but he can only be placed in third place in the support rankings. 】

This is reasonable.

After all, in the past two years of S5 and S6, LPL has really stinky.

EDG's two quarterfinals are indeed difficult to convince people of the strength of the LPL No. 1 seed.

Especially S6, EDG, which was crushed in the regular season, did not perform well in the World Championship.

can be ranked ninth, to be honest, Liu Shuai himself was quite surprised when he heard it.

Fortunately, this is a list of poisoned milk.

After the list came out, the audience had all kinds of heated discussions.

For example, Rookie was not on the list, but West was able to rank in the TOP20, which made LPL audiences and IG fans cry outrageous.

Even the Western Emperor himself felt incredible.

Dude, this season is pure lying, what about you do Nima's list?

However, it is clear in the introduction that it can be ranked 20th, which is completely stained with the light of Liu Shuai not wandering away in the playoffs.

As a result, HA became the No. 1 combination in the lower lane of the LPL.

Although it is outrageous, it is more reasonable to think about it.

In the playoffs, West's alignment and growth were really fast, and there was not much disadvantage against Mystic and Iboy, which shows that West is no longer the cowardly he was at the beginning of the summer.

And as the heated discussion progressed, the group stage of the World Finals officially opened!
