The LPL summer playoffs have not yet ended, and such a huge rhythm has suddenly been set off on the field of public opinion, which made the LPL official a little panicked for a while.

Because they know very well that if the LPL official can't deal with this emergency in time, not to mention how many talented players the LPL will continue to ruin in the future, the ticket sales of the League of Legends 7th anniversary celebration ceremony that will start on September 13 will definitely be hit very hard!

So, in order to calm the people's anger and let the LPL 7th anniversary celebration sell tickets smoothly, at 12 noon that day, the LPL official immediately issued an apology statement.

There's a lot of content, but it's really just two sentences to sum up.

In the first sentence, although the LPL official sympathizes with the matter of the Knight player and the SNG team, he is very sorry, because the problem of the Knight player is a contract issue between the SNG team and the YM team, and it involves legal content, so even as LPL officials, they can't get involved.

The second sentence, although the LPL official can't manage the Knight matter this time, the LPL official will definitely strengthen the management of the major teams in the future operation process, and strive to prevent similar situations from happening again!

The attitude of apology is very "sincere", but in the eyes of Mingrui and the majority of LPL audiences, this "apology statement" is simply a fart apology!

Because the LPL official not only did not seek justice for Knight, but also did not punish the SNG team, but just came to an understatement of "not an example"!

But the problem is, if you don't take an example, you don't take an example, so the damage suffered by the Knight player chooses to ignore it?!

And just when everyone was angry at the official attitude of the LPL, the SNG team also issued a statement.

But it's not an apology, it's an explanation.

The statement is also very long, but the general meaning is also very simple, which can be summarized as follows.

First, Knight is indeed a very good talent player, and he is the absolute hope of LPL's domestic midlaner, so the SNG team wants to keep Knight player.

Second, the SNG team doesn't want to refuse to pay the rent of the YM team, but there are some problems within the club for the time being, so the current situation is just to owe money, not not to give it.

Third, without the consent of the SNG team, the YM team contacted the new team for the Knight player without authorization, and the breach of contract was the first, and at the same time, the new team where the Knight player belonged knew that he still had a loan contract on him, but the result was still to dig into the wall, violating the transfer conditions of the LPL league players first.

Fourth, after the loan contract between the SNG team and the Knight player expires at the end of the year, the SNG team will choose to release the player and pay all the arrears at the same time, but also need the YM team to pay a certain amount of liquidated damages.

……

When this statement of the SNG team was released, Mingrui was furious again!

Because this garbage SNG team not only did not apologize, but even took this opportunity to portray themselves as a "victim", and even pointed the finger of all problems at the YM team itself!

Mingrui has seen shameless teams, such as the RNG team, but at this moment, the SNG team directly showed him another new way to be shameless!

"Good, good, very good."

"The RNG team is a dead duck with a hard mouth, and your SNG team is a broken jar, right?"

"There is also the LPL official, I and so many LPL viewers have scolded like this, but there is still only one sentence of understatement?!"

"Co-authored LPL official and these two garbage teams, they are a group of things that don't hit the south wall and don't look back, don't jump the Yellow River and don't give up?!"

"In that case......

"Then in the next S8 World Championship, we will count the new hatred and old hatred together!"

"Since you LPL officials are not willing to make a difference, then never think about making a difference!"

waited from two o'clock in the middle of the night to six o'clock in the morning, but Mingrui only waited for such a disgusting response from the LPL official and the SNG team, which made Mingrui more and more angry in his heart, and then also released a new response scarf.

“@G2. Dark: That's what you call an apology? It's good, it's disgusting. In this case, S8 World Championship, let's count the old and new hatreds together! ”

Under the short scarf, Mingrui once again matched the "weak explosion" emoji.

Then without waiting for the LPL audience's response to the content of this scarf, he immediately contacted Zhuo Ding again and told him that after the S8 World Championship is over, if his contract problem is still not properly resolved, then he will definitely do everything he can to help Knight go to Europe like himself!

After dealing with Zhuo Ding's matter, Mingrui, who had played a final and stayed up all night, finally became tired, so he returned to the base with the G2 team, and then fell asleep.

thought that after waking up, Mingrui could hear some good news, but he never expected that there was another thing from the LPL side that made him extremely sick and sick to his stomach.

That is, in the second semi-final of the LPL playoffs that ended on September 10, the garbage RNG team finally defeated the RW team with a score of 3-1, and after the spring game, it once again advanced to the summer finals!

"No, RNG, this garbage is really a civil war insider, an outsider? There is not a single team in the entire LPL that is an opponent of RNG? ”

When he heard the news, Mingrui hated that iron could not become steel and scolded, feeling that the overall level of the entire LPL division was too bad, otherwise he would not be continuously dominated by garbage like RNG!

But the next moment, the corners of Mingrui's mouth quickly filled with a bright smile, because he suddenly reacted at this time, as the RNG team entered the LPL finals again, it means that the RNG team finally won the championship or runner-up of the LPL summer finals, it has locked a seeded seat in the S8 World Championship in advance!

And this means that on the world stage, the G2 team and him Dark himself have once again won the opportunity to slaughter the RNG team!

"Not bad, yes, since RNG is here to send me dead again, I hope that this year's S8 lottery guests will be a little more powerful than last year, and directly draw RNG and our G2 into a group."

"In this way, I have a chance to directly let this garbage RNG go home in the round of 16 in the group stage!"

"Of course, the premise is that the IG team also has to be a little stronger, and strive to kill RNG for me so that they can become the second seed in the LPL!"

Mingrui snorted coldly, said with a blank gaze, and then added.

"Of course, not only the RNG team, but other teams, including the JDG team including Zeng Qi, and the IG team including Ah Shui, don't think about it."

"The runner-up in the S race is the limit they can reach in this life!"

"Zeng Qi, Ah Shui, don't blame me for being ruthless and unjust, after all, you should all remember what I said......"

"As long as I Dark has one day left to play professionally, in the LPL region, I won't want to win the world championship for a day!"

Mingrui said loudly, then got out of bed and started training on his own while the rest of the G2 team members were on a short vacation.

……

On September and October, while the two semi-finals of the LPL region were played, the summer finals on the LCK side of the region were actually over.

The KT team, led by former LPL players Deft and Mata, successfully defeated the dark horse GRF team with a score of 3-2 in the LCK Summer Finals, successfully won the LCK Summer Championship, and advanced to the S8 World Finals as the No. 1 seed.

However, although the GRF team won the runner-up in the Summer Championship, due to the existence of World Championship points, the GRF team could not directly advance to the World Championship as the second seed, but needed to play the final bubble match in the LCK.

At the same time, because the LCK Spring champion KZ team pulled the hip in the summer match, the LCK's former overlord SKT team also pulled the hip, and last year's S7 world runner-up GenG team also pulled the hip, so the AFS team was lucky to qualify as the second seed in the LCK and became the new team in the World Championship.

However, SKT, GenG, and KZ teams are not without a chance to enter the World Championship, because the LMS region was canceled after the S7 World Championship, so all four major regions of this year's S8 World Championship have qualified for four of them, except for the NA region.

This means that there are still two seeded spots in the S8 Worlds here in the LCK!

But it will take a while for the LCK bubble tournament to start, so taking advantage of this time, the eyes of League of Legends viewers around the world have returned to the LPL region again.

On September 12, the third and fourth finals of the LPL Summer Playoffs began, and the JDG team finally defeated the RW team with a score of 3-0 to win the third place.

On September 13th, the seventh anniversary celebration of the LPL division officially began, and there were no official matches today, all of them were exhibition matches.

On September 14th, the LPL Summer Finals officially started between the RNG team and the IG team.

Before the game, not only Mingrui, but all the fans of the IG team had high hopes for the IG team, because the 18-game winning streak of the IG team in the spring season was because of the hand injury of the top laner Theshy, so they failed to win the RNG team, but in this summer finals, the IG team is really complete!

But what everyone never expected was that although the IG team was indeed very strong, the RNG team, which was an expert in the civil war, defeated the IG team with a score of 3 to 2 in this finals and became the champion of the LPL Summer Tournament again!

For a while, RNG team fans who had been silent for a long time sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, asking all RNG black fans, including Dark, to come out and be beaten!

Because in their hearts, this year's RNG team is the strongest team in the world!

Spring Champion, Demacia Cup Champion, Continental Champion, Summer Champion!

Although the MSI championship was "stolen" by the G2 team, they have not won the championship for the previous six years, but the Uzi and RNG teams, who won four championships this year, will definitely get back everything they lost in the S8 Worlds!

"Garbage Dark, Garbage G2, this world race gives us RNG to wait for death!"

even ran under Mingrui's scarf and rushed to him to "show off his might"!

However, in the face of these beam-jumping clowns, Mingrui did not make any response, because he was "accumulating strength".

At this time, the more arrogant and arrogant these RNG fans are, the heavier the blow to the RNG team will be!

On September 15, the LPL bubble tournament started directly.

Since the LPL Summer Champion RNG team is the No. 1 seed and the IG team is the No. 2 seed, the third and fourth seeds will be selected between JDG, RW, and EDG.

Because of the year-round points, the ranking between the three teams is RW team first, EDG team second, and JDG team third.

So the bubble match on the 15th is between the EDG team and the RW team, and whoever wins is the third seed.

Then, what made Mingrui staggered happened again.

In the bubble tournament BO5, the RW team, the runner-up of the summer tournament, still lost to the EDG team in the top six of the summer tournament with a score of 1-3, and gave the third seed of the LPL to the EDG team.

Of course, it can't be said to be "sent", but "robbed", after all, the EDG team is the ancestor of the insiders and outsiders in the LPL division!

On September 16th, the last day of the LPL's 7th anniversary celebration, Team RW once again challenged the JDG team and started the final battle for the fourth seed in the LPL.

And this time, after five rounds of fierce battles between the two teams, the JDG team finally managed to defeat the RW team again with a score of 3-2 and successfully advanced to the S8 World Finals as the fourth seed in the LPL!

Although, in the post-game interview with Zhonglan Toothpaste, his "Thank you Dark" made the entire LPL official very embarrassed, but in the subsequent S8 World Championship departure ceremony, the entire LPL region once again showed an inexplicable confidence in the S8 World Championship's ambition!

The reason is simple, in the eyes of LPL fans, with four teams making it to the S8 Worlds, this year is definitely the most promising year for LPL.

Because they think that only one team in Europe is G2, but the other three teams will be very rubbish.

On the other hand, the four teams in the LPL region, whether it is RNG team, IG team, EDG team, or JDG team, all have the absolute strength to defeat the G2 team!

Therefore, no matter who is in this year's LPL division, they will definitely be able to enter the S8 finals and win their first S championship trophy for the LPL division!

But in fact, it is the LCK region that has the same idea as the LPL region.

In the process of the seven-year week celebration of the LPL region, the bubble match in the LCK region also started at the same time.

However, because there are four teams that can participate in the bubble tournament on the LCK region, in order to decide the two strongest teams, the LCK official decided to use the "double elimination system" in the bubble tournament.

As a result, League of Legends viewers around the world have seen what the real king of bubble racing is.

And I saw two of them directly!

The first king of the bubble tournament is the GenG team, because he defeated the SKT team, the GRF team and the KZ team along the way to successfully advance to the bubble finals and successfully qualified for the S8 World Finals, but the specific third or fourth seed will not be determined until after the bubble finals.

The second king of bubble racing is the well-known SKT team.

After a slump in the SKT summer and a knockout of the lower bracket by GenG at the start of the bubble tournament, Faker seemed to have finally woken up from a nightmare and led the SKT team to a complete outburst.

In the lower bracket match, the SKT team defeated the GRF team and the KZ team successively, making the KZ team, the champion of the spring tournament, completely miss the S8 World Championship, and at the same time, it also ushered in the showdown with the GenG team again.

However, it is a pity that GenG is still the king of the bubble tournaments, and in the final bubble tournament, the GenG team still defeated the SKT team again and successfully became the third seed in the LCK region.

As for SKT, while being seeded fourth, they also qualified for the S8 World Championship Play-In.

As a result, the whole world was dumbfounded.

Because everyone never thought that SKT, the former triple crown team, would need to play a play-in tournament before the start of the S8 World Championship!

This is a bolt from the blue for teams in other wildcard regions, including the fourth-seeded JDG team in the LPL that needs to play in the play-in!

However, because the full number of teams participating in the Global League of Legends S8 World Championship has not yet been officially born, the specific S8 World Championship and play-in group groups cannot be determined for the time being.

So next, the eyes of the global audience are focused on the EU region.

Because on September 17th, the bubble competition in the EU region also officially started.

After the No. 1 seed G2 and the No. 2 seed FNC have been confirmed in the EU, the No. 3 seed spot is up for grabs between VIT and MSF.

In the end, Team VIT defeated Team MSF 3-2 and became the third seed in the EU region.

The next day, the MSF team managed to defeat the S04 team and became the fourth seed in the EU region.

However, the situation in the EU region is different from other regions, because the S7 World Championship champion is the G2 team, so the EU region is the official world No. 1 region of Riot!

Since EU is the No. 1 division in the world, EU will naturally get some preferential treatment in the S8 World Championship.

That is, the four teams participating in the World Championship in the EU region can directly enter the main stage, and the second seed FNC team and the third seed VIT team will enter the second seed pool in the group draw at that time!

As for the No. 4 seed MSF team, they will go directly to the No. 3 seed pool and be on an equal footing with the EDG team and the GenG team in terms of treatment!

Although this situation made fans in the LPL region very unconvinced, the rules are like this, even if they are not convinced, they can only hold back.

With the official birth of the four seeded teams in the EU region, the major seeded teams in other regions finally completed the competition and confirmation in the following days.

And on September 20th, all 24 participating teams in the 2018 League of Legends World Championship were finally officially released!

They are......

Division, G2, FNC, VIT, MSF.

LPL Division, RNG Team, IG Team, EDG Team, JDG Team.

LCK, KT, AFS, SKT.

Division, TL Team, C9 Team, TSM Team.

PCS Division, FW Team, PVB Team.

TCL Division (Turkey), SUP Team.

LJL Division (Small Day), DFM Team.

OPL Region (Oceania), Team DW.

CLS (Latin America), KLG, INF.

LCL (CIS), GMB team.

CBLOL Division (Samba), KBM Team.

Among them, it is worth mentioning that because the performance of the NA region in the 2018 MSI was too poor, the second seed qualification that originally belonged to the C9 team was replaced by the third seed VIT team in the EU region, and the third seed TSM team in the NA region needs to play the play-in tournament.

With the birth of all 24 S8 World Championship teams around the world, after three days of heated discussions among the global audience, at 9 p.m. on September 23, Korean time, the draw ceremony for the 2018 League of Legends World Championship has finally officially begun!
