"Hello, hello League of Legends summoners."

"Welcome to the first draw of the 2020 League of Legends World Championship in Switzerland!"

"I'm the host, Yu Shuang!"

After the lottery ceremony was all prepared, accompanied by exciting and expectant background music, Yu Shuang, the host from the LPL region, walked slowly and generously to the center of the stage.

"After a whole year of struggle and hard work, 22 teams from all over the world finally stood out and gathered in the magic capital."

"After 10 of the teams went through a six-day play-in tournament, the four teams of HXA, TL, UOL and PSG also managed to secure the final four tickets to the Swiss round."

"But the journey of the S10 World Championship has only just begun, and the sixteen teams participating in the Swiss round will compete even more fiercely for the final summoner trophy!"

"Soon we will be drawing lots to reveal the eight matchups in the first round of the Swiss round!"

"Next, let's first learn about the format of the Swiss round of the World Finals and the draw rules through a short video."

When the host Yu Shuang finished this short opening, a short video immediately cut to the head and led the summoners of the global League of Legends to understand the specifics of the draw ceremony.

If we say that when the S9 World Championship last year adopted the Swiss round format for the first time, the majority of viewers and friends were still a little confused and confused about the new competition system.

So after having the experience of the S9 World Championship, this year's they already know the "Swiss round system"!

Therefore, the audience didn't pay attention to the specific draw rules at all, they just cared more about which teams were in the four seeded pools in the first round of the draw in the Swiss round.

As the short film progressed, soon, the doubts in the audience's minds were answered.

The No. 1 seed pool is G2, TES, DWG, and FLY.

The second seed pool is FNC, JDG, DRX, and TSM.

The third seed pool is Team ROG, Team SN, Team GEN, and Team MAD.

The No. 4 seed pool is Team HXA, Team TL, Team UOL, and Team PSG, the four teams that made the cut-off round.

"Next, let's have two guests from the draw ceremony, Clearlove, a coach from the EDG Esports Club, and Mlxg, a former jungler from the RNG Esports Club!"

After the rules introduction video, as the camera returned to the lottery ceremony, the two guests of this year's lottery were already standing behind the four seed pools.

"First of all, let's have Clearlove for the team draw for the No. 1 seed pool in the first round of the Swiss round."

There was no need for the factory director and the spicy incense pot to speak, Yu Shuang immediately invited the factory director to come forward.

And because there was nothing interesting about the order of the draw of the four teams in the No. 1 seed pool, the factory director quickly completed the draw.

Team FLY!

Team DWG!

TES Team!

Team G2!

That's the order in which the four No. 1 seed teams were drawn.

"Next, let's have Spicy Pot and complete the team draw for the No. 4 seed pool for us."

And the next draw is the top priority of tonight's lottery ceremony.

Because after the draw of this round of "one draw four", the first four two-to-two encounters in the first round of the Swiss round will officially complete the matching!

The spicy incense pot also knew the key to his right hand, so when he completed the team extraction, he deliberately stirred for a long time.

TL Clan!

But what he didn't expect was that the first team he drew directly triggered the "same region avoidance principle" in the first round of the Swiss round, so that the TL team directly became the opponent of the DWG team.

Team UOL!

And as the spicy incense pot completed the second extraction, this result suddenly made him gasp.

Because when the match between FLY and UOL is also finalized, then the two remaining teams in the second seed pool are only HXA and PSG, all from the PCS region!

In other words, for the TES team in the LPL region, there is now a 50% chance that they will meet the HXA team led by Dark in the first round!

"Give some strength to the spicy fragrant pot, and the third time you must draw the HXA team, let the TES team take a good look at HXA's arrogance!"

"Don't draw the HXA team, so far our LPL team has never won against Dark, if the TES team loses in the first round, like last year's JDG team, then it feels a little bad."

And just when the right hand of the spicy fragrant pot reached into the No. 2 seed pool for the third time, in the LPL official live broadcast room, the barrage content was also quickly polarized, and they expressed their opinions one after another.

To summarize it very simply, that is, some LPL fans have been psychologically shadowed by Dark, and have completely lost the belief in "defeating Dark".

As for the other part of LPL fans, they still stubbornly believe that what the LPL team can't beat is actually not the Dark player at all, but only the G2 team, and this year's HXA team, they will definitely be able to defeat easily!

So, in the anticipation and prayers of fans on both sides, the spicy fragrant pot finally completed his third extraction......

Team PSG!

Team TES's match in the first round of the Swiss round is not Team HXA, but Team PSG!

But while all LPL fans were in different moods, LEC fans in Europe were instantly stunned.

Although the fourth draw of the spicy pot has not yet been completed, with only HXA left in the second seed pool, this means that the G2 team will meet the HXA team in the first round of this year's Swiss round!

To put it another way, Dark will meet his old club G2 team in the first round of the Swiss round!

Rumble......

When this fact was settled, not only LEC fans, but all League of Legends viewers around the world suddenly boiled.

Because they never imagined that the first round of the Swiss round of this year's S10 would be so exciting!

They didn't expect that the clash between the HXA team with Dark and the G2 team with Dark would come so quickly!

"Wow, this draw result won't be LPL operating in the dark, so that the triple crown champion Dark and the triple crown champion G2 will meet directly in the first round of the Swiss round?"

"Wonderful, exciting, exciting! In this way, whether Dark or G2 loses, they will end their unbeaten myth in the group stage of the World Championship or in the Swiss round! ”

"It seems that in previous years' Worlds, the G2 team never seemed to lose a game before the knockouts, but this year it may be hanging because Dark has gone to the other side!"

"Brothers, the opportunity to test whether the Dark player or the G2 team is strong has finally arrived!"

"According to the performance of the G2 team in the LEC region, it should still be Dark's players, but because Dark's four teammates seem to be much weaker than the G2 players, the outcome of this game is not certain!"

When the first round of the G2 vs. HXA clash was officially finalized, the attention of all League of Legends viewers around the world was drawn to the upcoming battle of the century.

Even the next second and third seeds were drawn and they didn't pay too much attention to it, just wanting to see how the outcome of this strong dialogue would be.

But it was useless for the spectators to rush as the Swiss round had already been set and would not officially start until October 3.

So the next thing they can do is wait!

With the draw ceremony for the first round of the Swiss round all over, the specific matchups of the eight BO1 games have finally been determined.

Team FLY vs. Team UOL.

Team DWG vs. Team TL.

Team TES vs. Team PSG.

Team G2 vs. Team HXA.

FNC vs. SN.

Team JDG vs. Team GEN.

Team DRX vs. Team ROG.

Team TSM vs. Team MAD.

……

"Good guy, Brother Paste, I didn't expect to be really right by you, we played G2 directly in the first game!"

In the HXA team's training room, when the PSG team was confirmed to be the opponent of the TES team, ON's eyes widened in shock.

First at the toothpaste, then at Dark, his eyes full of incredulity.

"I really didn't expect it."

"Originally, I thought that we would only meet G2 when we got the 1-0 or 2-0 stage of the Swiss round, but this spicy pot was directly drawn for us in the first round."

"I feel like this guy did it on purpose, after all, he has never beaten me on the field, so I can only think about this kind of crooked way off the court."

Dark said without tears.

It's not that he's afraid of meeting the G2 team and thinks that the HXA team can't beat the G2 team, but because he wants to save a few more days for his old club, the G2 team.

After all, the G2 team is the only team in the history of League of Legends to win three consecutive championships, but if they lose the first game of the fourth championship, it will be quite a blow to the G2 team.

But Dark, from the bottom of his heart, didn't want to see the G2 team hit by himself so quickly.

And let's be honest, he doesn't even hope that the HXA team won't run into the G2 team before the S10 Finals!

If he defeats the G2 team on the stage of the Grand Finals and accomplishes the feat of the new king's ascension to the throne, that is the best script in S10 in Dark's mind!

"Definitely not on purpose, if he really has this ability, he can't win the lawsuit with RNG?"

Toothpaste Knife said with a bloody face, and Dark couldn't help but laugh when he heard it.

"Well, let's train."

"Since we met G2 in the first round, we can only show no mercy."

"Besides, as long as we beat the defending champion in the first round, then when we meet other teams in the future, we will have the absolute upper hand on the psychological level!"

Dark said solemnly, and the BGM of victory was already ignited in his heart.

After all, the world championship is not a place to talk about feelings, it only judges heroes by success or failure.

If HXA wins G2, then as Dark said, all subsequent teams will take a high look at HXA.

But if HXA loses to G2, then in the eyes of the other teams, HXA will become a wild card team that is not worth mentioning, but only has some luck to beat LGD!

So no matter what, this battle against the G2 team, the HXA team must win!

……

On September 30, the S10 World Championship Play-in Tournament officially ended, leaving only two days left for the 16 teams to prepare for the first round of the Swiss round.

And when the calendar turns to October 3rd, the official opening day of the 2020 League of Legends World Championship has finally arrived!

Because of the storm, in the absence of a live audience, this year's opening ceremony was not as lively as in previous years.

However, the excitement of the opening ceremony performance is not inferior to last year, but compared with S7's Bird's Nest Dragon, this year's S10's magic capital opening ceremony is still inferior.

But the content of the opening ceremony doesn't matter to the audience, all they care about is the process and ending of each game!

So, after the opening ceremony of the Swiss round of the S10 World Championship finally ended, the first day of the Swiss round stage officially began!

Although this year's S10 is the home of the LPL division, because under the Swiss round system, the arrangement of the game must be sorted according to the draw results, so the opening match of the S10 Swiss round is between the FLY team and the UOL team.

Although the UOL team managed to make it through the play-in rounds, they still couldn't pull off a miracle against the No. 1 seed in the LCS region, and unfortunately fell into the 0-1 group.

In the second match, Team DWG played Team TL team.

Facing the third seed in the LCS region, the DWG team, as the champion of the LCK summer tournament, also showed no mercy, and quickly eliminated the TL team with an extremely crisp and neat approach, and successfully advanced to the 1-0 group.

In the third match, Team TES vs. Team PSG.

Although PSG managed to eliminate LGD with a score of 3-2 in the play-in tournament, this result actually shows that PSG and LGD are not much different.

But you must know that the LGD team is only the fourth seed in the LPL region, and against the champion team TES, the LGD team has never won the game at all.

So this time it was changed to the PSG team, and the mid-laner Knight of the TES team also triggered the passive skill of "left hand à la carte" again, directly abusing the PSG team in a rather cruel way, and successfully advanced to the 1-0 group.

And the next fourth game is the most interesting matchup in the first round of the Swiss round.

Summer champion G2 teams from the LEC region take on summer champion HXA teams from the PCS region!

……

"Good! Welcome back to the first round of the 2020 League of Legends World Championship Swiss Round! ”

"Hello everyone, I'm still your commentator Wang Duoduo in the first half today!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Gugu!"

After a short break at the end of the third game, the two official commentators of the LPL reappeared in front of the camera in the official studio.

"I'm sure you're as excited as we are at this time, because what you're about to bring to you is going to be one of the most exciting matchups in the first round of the Swiss round."

"Team G2, team HXA!"

Wang Duoduo said excitedly.

"Before we get started, I'd like to introduce you to the starting players of both teams."

"Because just by reading their IDs, my blood is a little boiling!"

"G2 Team, Top Lane BrokenBlade, Jungler Jankos, Mid Laner Caps, Down Lane Perkz, Support Hylissang!"

"HXA team, top laner Flandre, jungler Dark, mid laner Yagao, bottom laner SMLZ, support ON!" (End of chapter)
