Chapter 22: I'm Your Fan!
Domestic!
Late at night, just when the night owls, including night owls, were about to end the night, a group of people with the WE prefix ran to the European server or Hanbok to kill all sides.
Coupled with the pictures sent by the young ladies of the team leader on the official Weibo, the players' eyes were instantly attracted by WE, who ran to North America in advance.
"See you for a long time, the sun is coming out in the west? Coming to North America in advance to adapt to the competition environment, is this still the WE I know? ”
"Mr. Pei looked at his wallet distressedly, and calculated that the more money he spent when he entered the World Championship for the first time in three years, the more he would spend."
"Kandy's expression is really good, after flying for so long, I was looking forward to being able to get off the plane and rest, but as a result, a few of you volume kings began to pour jet lag for the master when he landed?"
"(laughs and cries) Is the big bowl of coffee in Zero's hand serious?"
"Ninety-five-seven in the night: After this cup of coffee, we are all the kings of the volume kings!"
"A battle between cabbages!"
"Laugh, did I find out that Ah Guang on the plane was rolling up in the night with his high school practice homework?"
……
"WE, come on, although it is the third seed, there are EDG and RNG in front of it, we all have to work hard."
Some fans noticed that Lin Huan was the first to get off the plane and enter the training room.
"One thing to say, it's a pity to light, it's the best professional attitude I've seen in a few years, if it weren't for a hand injury......"
"The doctor's order posted by the club seems to say that Light's wrist supports a maximum of four hours of training a day, which is why he cherishes his time so much, after all, he has to compete with the devils in the LCK."
"Really, I'm crying to death, just let my brother-in-law go, and we'll come back next year when my hand recovers."
Obviously, fans are not as optimistic about the S6 Worlds as they were last year.
After being provoked by the excitement, some senior "analysts" began to comment on the situation in S6 and the draw.
As soon as the LCK playoffs were over, the draw ceremony was also completed and finally announced one day apart, and Riot officially released the draw results on Twitter.
The draw rules for the 2016 World Championship are basically the same as those for the 2015 World Championship, with the 16 teams divided into four groups of four teams competing in the group stage.
The future play-in mechanism has not yet been implemented in S6, but Riot has revealed to the professional teams that due to the increase in LOL's global viewing traffic, the competition of sixteen teams is obviously not enough, and it is in everyone's interest to increase the size of the cake.
It's just that no one expected that in 2017, there would be a PUBG that came out of nowhere to steal a large share of the league's traffic, and even caused a large loss of players because of the S7 Bird's Nest LCK Korean Civil War incident.
The group stage draw is based on the results of the 2016 Mid-Season Invitational and the results of the season, and the 16 participating teams will be allocated to three draw pools.
Eventually, each team will consist of one team from pool 1, two teams from pool 2, and one team from pool 3.
Although the RNG team on the LPL side still lost to Haidilao's barbecue stall on MSI, the results were not bad, so it basically had no impact on the draw.
In the draw, the World Finals will continue to be based on the same region avoidance principle, and teams from the same region will not be drawn into the same group.
That is, at least until the quarterfinals, WE and RNG and EDG will not meet these two teams.
WE fans and even Lin Huan themselves don't want to see what they want to see in the knockout round when they meet EDG, and the power of Ming Kai's civil war phantom god is too outrageous.
"The LCK troika, the No. 1 seed ROX, the No. 2 seed two-star SKT, and the No. 3 seed killed KT's Samsung, I really want to say that this year is the most promising year, how can I say it!"
After the draw of three guests, the final alignment was also known to all LOL players.
There is no change in the Division A division, and the LCK No. 1 seed is in a group with the European Happy Family G2 and the old powerhouses CLG and the Bear Country ANX big brothers, and to be honest, fans of the three teams are relieved to see that the strongest ROXA group does not have an LPL team.
It's just that who would have thought that just after the end of the relief, the draw from the smile of the WE celebrity made the WE fans crack in place.
Group B: SKT, FW, WE, C9!
"I'm gone, the SKT in the group, the lightning wolf, what the hell is signed."
"Hehe, even if you squeeze out of the group stage, there is a high probability that you will meet EDG, who is the first in the group, and it's really damn my WE!"
"The Korean team is strong in operation, the pace is generally fast, and I also watched the playoffs in North America and Europe next door, and I can't overstate the difference."
"I just want the LPL team not to swell, the lesson of S5 is still in front of us, as for our small WE small goal, just find a line......"
Obviously, the audience did not think that WE would be able to get the top spot in the group from SKT, and it was unknown whether they could even qualify for the second place in the group.
With the lightning wolf there, fans who occasionally get points from the barbecue stand in LPL are not surprised.
Anti-Korean Qixia BO1 specializes in SKT is not in vain, not to mention that there is an evergreen C9 in the World Championship, and WE who entered the World Championship for the first time in three years wants to be better than others C9 is really not bad to describe as a strong team in the World Championship.
The grouping of EDG and RNG did not make any difference because of Lin Huan, a little butterfly.
"How is Kaizi's hero pool, I see that the Korean team jungler is now what Olaf Leopard female blind or something."
"Joke, I'm blind but the existence of the first win rate in LPL, Guodian Chong Chong."
"RNG in Group D? Just a South Korean No. 3 seed Samsung, isn't that the first place in the group? ”
……
The draw ceremony immediately follows the 6.18 version of the Worlds, and the Summer Tournament players will also usher in a brief end to the Phantom God Philosophy Fight, which is the world of Electricity Rats and Nar Ike and other single-handed singles in the Worlds.
The draw group made a fuss in the outside world, but all the members of WE didn't bother to blame the responsibility for dividing Group B on their own smiling heads, and if they wanted to win the championship, they would play all the way.
Version 6.18 has changed so many that the emergence of a single-belt hero puts a lot of pressure on the oldest 957.
The Nakano duo of Xiye and Kande are still immature, and the routine that the two have followed has occasionally had accidents so far, and what makes Redmi uncomfortable is that the ice of the summer fire has been weakened by another round.
The duration of Q skill has been changed from 5 seconds to 4 seconds, and the damage of the ultimate has been reduced a lot with each level.
Fortunately, the hero's late output has not changed much, as long as the powerful first-hand opening ability is not affected, light can always surprise light in the training match.
The LPL three training tournaments and EDG often communicate with each other, but RNG plays relatively little, and the 6.18 version of the World Championship changes excavators, wine barrels, and LPL's favorite jungler heroes have been weakened by a round, but the Bobby mentioned by Lin Huan to Coach Redmi has been strengthened a lot.
What Lin Huan wants most is to play a training match with ROX and hone the Nakano of Kandi in advance, but it's a pity that others rejected their LPL team, the No. 3 seed in the 10,000-year-old second division.
In the eyes of players, the S6 game officially began.
