Since the name of the S competition, more and more professional teams have landed in Tianhe International Airport.

Judging from the dynamics of each team, the teams in the play-in tournament have come to Wuhan for training early.

You can also see more foreign audiences, who come from all over the world, including European audiences, North American audiences, and even from Brazil and the wild card small division.

Sept. 12 at eight p.m.

The first wave of climaxes before the start of the World Championship!

The Global Alliance audience is focused in front of the screen, and the S7 draw ceremony is about to begin.

Ren Dong, Li Chun, and Eleven sat in the LPL studio.

At this time, the League of Legends TV station, the official website of the Palm League, and the official website of the event are broadcasting the whole process of the lottery, and the same is true for the major live broadcast platforms.

Regardless of the channel, the number of barrages swiped across the screen can sense the large amount of traffic.

Under the influence of past performance, the third seed on the LPL side also needs to enter the group stage.

IM team top laner "Ancient Style Beauty" AmazingJ and IG team mid laner "Fake XJ Man" Rookie appeared on time on the draw table, the draw ceremony was held in the United States, and the two guests came to Los Angeles in advance to participate in the ceremony.

The draw for the play-in tournament is not exciting, mainly because there are too many experience babies who are involved.

RNG didn't get to draw with the RPG teams in the LJL division.

"It's a pity that the opportunity to hang a small day is gone"

"Yes, I want to see a little day being abused and crying"

"AJ's hands stink"

"The third sign of Group A should be wasted and let Sun Gou smoke, and you can find out the small day by smelling the cherry blossoms"

There are a lot of ridicules in the barrage and comment area.

After a few minutes of boring waiting, it was finally time for the tense group stage draw.

Inside the WE base.

Li Jin and others, like the major teams, also paid great attention to the draw ceremony.

Those who want to win don't have to worry about the draw, but everyone wants to have an easy schedule.

Last year, Samsung made it all the way to the finals, which was much more comfortable than the vicious battle between SKT and the Tigers in the first half.

In front of pool 1.

The ancient beauty raised his hand and flicked the four balls, picked up one of them, unscrewed it and took out the team tag.

AJ smiled at the camera.

Whether it was the Los Angeles live commentary or the LPL broadcast platform, the three of them shouted:

“WE！”

With the spring and summer cup picture appearing on the big screen, LCS veteran commentator Riv kept speaking:

"LPL spring and summer double championship, 2017 Msi champion, WE will be one of the favorites to win the S7 championship this time, they have last year's finals Fmvp player TheJin, the audience who pays attention to WE will not be unfamiliar, TheJin also maintains a super high level this season."

Riv, who had white hair, answered with a smile on his face.

"Riot's list of the top 20 players hasn't been announced yet, but I think TheJin can be ranked very high."

……

"The first one is us!"

Xiao Duan and Xi Ye both "snorted", and everyone was very excited.

Maybe it was because they felt the atmosphere of S7, and several people were breathing a lot heavily, and Li Jin smiled slightly beside him.

"Pool 1 is not very important, the key is to see which teams will be drawn in pool 2."

Xi Ye clasped his hands together towards the ancient style beautiful man: "Give some strength to the broiler in the back, let's sign something." Please, don't draw SKT to Group A. ”

957 said with a narrow face: "You killed Faker alone, why are you still afraid of SKT?" ”

"One yard is one yard, the ghost wants to play SKT."

Redmi hid a hint of apprehension and muttered, "Dragon Ball may be more difficult to deal with than SKT. ”

"Dragon Ball is also the No. 1 seed, so we can't meet it in the group stage."

"Brother Jin, the Dragon Ball duo is your old teammate."

"yes."

Li Jin's tone was witty: "For my old teammates, I feel more interesting and energetic." ”

When the people heard him say this, they secretly slandered themselves.

Koi is known as the "old club".

In the face of old teammates, the means are more severe, as if there is a "plastic brotherhood" Buff.

For example, this year's victim, Msi, is a small peanut.

Everyone just thinks about it, and most of them are teased and ridiculed by fans.

After chatting a few words, the ancient style beautiful men successively drew out LZ, G2, and FW, each in the three groups of BCD.

AJ goes down, it's the broiler's turn to smoke.

The first draw in the second pool of Group A.

“Msf！”

Europe's second seed, the Rabbits.

WE everyone cheered and was more happy.

Li Jin's mind automatically conjured up a violent female tan with a passion for war.

Bunny Team is a real art.

The Imt team was drawn from Group B, and Samsung, who did not need to play in the play-in round, was directly drawn to Group C, and then became EDG to appear in Group D.

The 61e's began to applaud.

In pool 1, the lightning wolf is definitely the best one.

The broiler continues to smoke.

Group A, TSM.

“Nice！”

Long Nan and 957 and the others cheered again.

"A European team, a North American team, WE is peerless."

"Actually, everyone in WE is the same, and they can be promoted anyway."

"That's right, WE's hard power should be the first echelon of S7, and it has mutual advantages with Dragon Ball and SKT."

Someone said in the comment section:

"Actually, broilers can pump SKT over, WE play SKT, I am more assured, Brother Jin Bang is professional, RNG and EDG are not very stable. After all, playing the World Championship at our doorstep, it is good for the LPL teams to advance. ”

It was also mentioned that:

"This year's finals will be held in the Bird's Nest, which is the most important thing, if it is still the same as in previous years, it will be a shame to play LCK and sing for others on stage."

……

The Dragon Ball next door is also easy to draw, and it will be drawn to the GAM in the wild card area.

The second-to-last draw for broilers drew SKT, but Group C already had three stars, and the group stage was avoided in the same division, and SKT was automatically assigned to Group D.

The rest of the AHQs went to Group C.

Well, lightning wolf, EDG, SKT huddled together.

It is conceivable that they will be the most competitive group in the group stage.

Immediately triggered a sunspot carnival, jumped in front of the 61e and asked: "Top 16 this year?" ”

……

That night, because of the group stage draw, the circle forum was not peaceful.

Riot is going to be hot.

At noon the next day, the official released the "2017 Global Finals Top 20 Strongest List", commonly known as the poisoned milk list.

Because the list is upside down, what catches your eye is:

TOP20：Doublelift

Official Evaluation: He's getting better and better at handling damage output and keeping himself alive. Doublelift wants to sweep away past failures on the international stage.

The big brother stuck at the tail of the list.

Because he is AD and is in the same group as Li Jin, there are naturally a lot of topics on the LPL side.

The second AD at the bottom of the list is Zven, the strongest scorer in the West in the TOP16.

made the dog fans quite unconvinced.

The ID of Uzi only appeared in the TOP14, and it was still below the 13 crown brothers, and he didn't even enter the top ten.

In today's version of the incense burner, this is obviously a bit disrespectful.

The official evaluation is:

"Uzi can press the tinker on the line and keep the opponent's economy down. The potential is bottomless, but his stubborn temper has made him suffer a lot. ”

u1s1, this time Riot's evaluation made many people feel pertinent.

But the fans of Edgeworth Gate were not convinced, and after 61e ended up fighting chaotically because of the grouping of public opinion, Edgeworth Gate fans went out of chaos with the list. The circle is really lively.

Pig fans are no longer arguing about the list.

Because I can't find Qichan from the beginning to the end, it's the dragon man and Xiye on the WE side who are on the list continuously.

Even ranked TOP8 in the middle of the night, which is the highlight of his career.

TOP5 Khan.

The top 4 and top 3 are Gorilla and Pray, respectively.

Dragon Ball's top singles and duos occupy three of the top five spots, almost the strongest on paper.

The audience was not surprised.

As the No. 1 seed in the LCK, Dragon Ball should have been more ranked.

Unfortunately, the first two are too convincing.

TOP2：Faker！

Riot's reviews all have a hint of filter:

As always, Faker is still going down that path, and he's going to prove everyone wrong. This year, he is aiming for a third career title. He has shown great strength since the summer season, and he is still ranked among the best teams in the world. ”

Let many LPL players have a moment of honor.

At the top of the pyramid of the poisoned milk list, above the Great Demon King.

Dominated by an LPL player!

It's something that hasn't been done since the Worlds, and it's a new chapter.

Fans' eyes swept over the list word by word, and each word stayed for more moments, as if full of meaning.

Top 20 players in the RIOT2017 World Finals.

TOP1：TheJin。

Location: AD.

Team: WE.

League: LPL.

Comments:

"This league evergreen has competed in five World Finals, and his identity is constantly changing, and his strength is still getting stronger."

"From professional coach to professional player, from behind the scenes to the arena, TheJin has won 3 coaching championships + 1 World Finals championship + 1 FMVP in the S competition."

This year, he stood out from the rest of the bottom lane players in the AD position with his consistent play and flexible play. Whether you're looking for a strong starter, a hardcore core, or a long-term leader, TheJin has the answer to the ultimate in satisfaction. ”

"It's unbelievable that he's on his way to a fifth crown."

……

Riot brought a layer of filters when evaluating Faker, and Li Jin also wore a filter.

In the past, Riot, the coach champion from S3 to S5, didn't mention it much, but this time he mentioned it very much, for fear that the publicity would not be in place and such information would be missed.

When the World Finals are held in China.

When this list is presented in front of LPL fans, everyone must be overjoyed when they see it.

Riot needs to build confidence among LPL players in case an accident at the World Finals crashes in the region with the most viewers and fans.

Now that Li Jin exists, of course they have to erect a spiritual pillar.

In case the LPL loses, at least the audience still has some hope.

Let everyone know that the player with the most honors is in the LPL.

Although Riot controlled the version in the lower lane, eager for the LPL to win, they couldn't control it when they really got to the canyon.

The LCK won the championship for four consecutive years, and Riot was also numb.

Although it lost Msi this year, with reference to S5, no matter how strong the LPL was at that time, LCK could still win the championship, and there was no suspense.

Riot is hell-bent on maintaining regional balance, and the current development worries them.

Li Jin's appearance was a surprise for the entire league.

It's no exaggeration at all, the bosses of the headquarters are really cheering for the LPL.

version to you, we won't target the mid-season champions, LPL veterans, this is interesting enough.

After the list of poisoned milk was announced, WE forwarded it to the official homepage as soon as possible.

Tiger pounce, post bar and other friends gathered their own side into a heated discussion.

#TheJin, the 20 strongest people in the league reached the top! #

……

Inside the Louvre.

[How do you evaluate this year's poisoned milk list? ] 】

The bottom bar friends are very excited:

"Faker is pressed underneath, Brother Jin is in the face! For the first time in the LPL, someone has topped the list! ”

"It is well deserved, WE can have this result, and Brother Jin has the greatest credit. The honor and strength are all in place, and there is nothing wrong with ranking first. ”

"This year's list is in line with expectations, the specific world championship verifies, LPL come on!"

"Brother Koi's strength won't be black, right?"

"Laughing to death, some people say that four crowns in four years have no gold content! Hahaha! ”

"No one says WE is stupid, right? No. 1 in the world, I'm making a lot of money! ”

"Ten years old fan, uninvited."

……

Riot's promotional investment has worked, and it has sparked heated discussions in all major areas.

LPL fans are even more jubilant.

Before the start of the World Championship, the teams that came to Wuhan in advance entered the training match mode.

There are a lot of teams that are going to play WE.

On the Redmi side, after communicating with other coaches, as long as the time is reasonable, they will basically not refuse.

A few days later, word came out from the training match.

TSM controls the thunder and lightning and is invincible again.

But this has obviously become a meme, and no one takes it seriously.

Everyone is looking forward to it and nervous, the situation in S7 is very uncertain, and I feel that many teams have the possibility of competing for the championship.

Unlike last year, there were two full-fledged teams, ROX and SKT.

This year's SKT is not as strong as last year, and Dragon Ball does not have the suffocating feeling of the Tigers.

On the LPL side, although WE wins all the big games, it often loses in the small games, and the players sometimes play badly.

There are a lot of strong opponents in the World Championship, and there will definitely be more pressure, and it is difficult to guarantee what kind of performance WE will play at that time.

When the training camp was in full swing, the outside world had different opinions.

But this kind of suspenseful game is even more eye-catching.

With the passage of time, more and more viewers are paying attention to the S7 World Finals, and the traffic has been out of the circle.

September 23rd.

The 2017 e-sports feast kicked off and the play-in tournament officially began.

RNG, which entered Group A, did not disappoint the LPL audience, and won 4 consecutive wins to become the first in Group A.

After that, they easily defeated YG in the knockout round and secured a spot in the main competition.

Edgeworth Gate fans were originally disgusted with the Play-In Tournament, but RNG has gotten better and better after the Play-In Run-in.

It's a good thing when you think about it.

Not playing in the play-in tournament is also training, but it is better to adapt to the rhythm earlier at the competition site.

Along with RNG, C9, FNC, and the 1907 Fenerbahce Esports Club (FB) from Turkey were promoted.

The HKA team from the LMS region was upset.

On the end of the competition on September 29, the four teams that qualified participated in the draw.

Because of the circumvention of the competition area, there are both LPL and European and American teams in Group A, which can only be entered by FB.

This is a peerless good sign that makes EDG and RNG envious to cry.

As the three teams moved into their respective groups, the grouping was officially locked.

Group A: WE, Msf, TSM, FB

Group B: LZ, IMT, GAM, FNC

Group C: G2, SSG, AHQ, RNG

Group D: FW, EDG, SKT, C9

……

Before the official start of the group stage, Li Jin met his old teammates from last year at a restaurant in Wuhan.

Chat with Gorilla and Pray.

Everyone still has a tacit understanding.

I'm looking forward to meeting each other in the game.

On the evening of October 2, Li Jin fulfilled his promise and invited Little Peanut to eat a tomato scrambled egg.

Wanghu is very good.

Recently, the mainstream junglers have been vegetarians, and the little peanuts are not very good.

He always won the MVP in the middle of the season, and from the summer version to the present, he has played tied.

Plus the tactical requirements of SKT.

A carnivorous person changed to a vegetarian diet, which is somewhat unaccustomed.

Two days later, in the evening, the little beast manager told everyone to go to bed early.

Team WE homepage retweets a koi.

Edited the following text:

"Good luck with tomorrow's opener."
