Mafa works with the team to prioritize the current version.

"That blue side is too advantageous." Li Feifei suddenly realized, "Calista has a fixed ban position, naturally one less ban position, and the blue side can also grab the strongest soft support." ”

"That's right!" Mafa nodded.

The incense burner monster is also strong and weak.,The strongest must be the wind girl.,Can give a shield.,The shield can also add panel attack power to the ADC.,And it can also increase the movement speed of the teammate group.,The most terrifying thing is that the wind girl's ultimate move can take into account both protection and blood recovery!

The group regeneration is equivalent to the buff effect of the group giving [Blazing Incense Burner] to teammates.

The second is Lulu, Lulu can also give a shield, although it can't add panel attack power to ADC, but Pixar can help output and create additional magic damage, and Lulu can also increase movement speed and attack speed for teammates, the only point of loss is ...... Lulu's buffs are all monomers, and her protection is not as strong as that of Windgirl.

In addition to these two heroes, other heroes who can put on shields are also fine, but compared to these two top incense burner monsters, they are too much worse.

"Wind Girl, Lulu, Karma, and Lo...... These four heroes need to be paid attention to, Luo is because they can be matched with Xia, and Luo also has a super ability to open a group, which can make up an additional group opening point. Mafa added, "And if Karma can get in the middle, maybe there will be a double incense burner monster at that time?" ”

"That's not right." Li Feifei shook his head, "You say...... If Karma swings to the middle lane, can there be some other heroes in the bottom lane? For example, a Japanese girl or something like that cooperates with the jungler to do the soft auxiliary on the opposite side? ”

"Our incense burner monster is Karma in the middle lane, Karma can eat soldiers in the middle lane, and the incense burner monster on the opposite side is a support, we can catch him brainlessly, so that we can make an incense burner first and lead the other party in the overall rhythm??"

When Mafa and Tabe heard Li Feifei's words, their eyes couldn't help but widen, as if it was still the same thing.

"Tabe and I have been studying it again in the past few days, and besides...... Our understanding of the game is not necessarily correct, and each team has their own understanding of the Worlds version, which will not be known until the Worlds start. Mafa emphasized.

This is just IG's own understanding of the version of the World Championship based on its own region and the content of the version update.

Before the game officially starts, no one can be sure that they will have the version of the answer.

Fist's repeated horizontal jumps to the [Blazing Incense Burner] changes can also be seen, and they seem to think that although this item is very powerful, it is not strong enough to be a supermodel?

Otherwise, why did 7.18 call back this value after 7.17 made a certain weakening??

It's not really a conspiracy theory to believe, this year's World Championship will be held in the LPL region, which has the largest number of League of Legends players in the world, and this time the World Championship has attracted unprecedented attention!

In addition, next year, LPL will officially start the alliance, and Tengjing and Riot must hope to detonate this wave of domestic traffic, so that all major capitals will come to join in and completely engage in the commercialization of LPL.

What's the easiest way to detonate traffic?

That must be for the LPL team to win the championship.

From S3 to S6, Koreans have won the championship for four consecutive years, and Riot has long been fed up with this situation, and if any event is monopolized by a certain region for a long time, it will only make the audience aesthetically fatigued.

And the LPL division is recognized as having a strong bottom road, so ...... Deliberately leaving such a supermodel equipment as the incense burner monster to LPL for use is a very reasonable behavior.

Of course......

It's just a conspiracy theory claim.

A more reliable statement is that the attention of the riots is on the side of the LCK division, and the LCK side is not popular at all to play soft auxiliary incense burner monsters, everyone is learning the mode of Dragon Ball, and the tool man is out of the lower road, and he fights around Ueno.

Riot will definitely be staring at the championship region of South Korea to weaken.

You LPL is a stinky old fourth division, do you deserve to let people target you??

Before the official start of the game, who can be sure that the playing style and tactics of the LPL region will be correct?

It takes some time for the players to digest, but Sapphire is the easiest one.

"Gan, envy Brother Lan." King Ning pursed his lips, "As long as you live, you don't have to do anything." ”

"Then why don't I come to the jungle and you will assist?" Baolan rolled her eyes, "Let you say that I won't have a group with you in the future, hehehe, buddy won't have to start a group in the future!" ”

"Isn't that good?" Li Feifei suddenly said, "In the future, King Ning will be Brother Tan and Lao Song to start a group with you, don't you feel a lot more comfortable when you think about it like this?" This is not a relief. ”

"Huh?" After Baolan was stunned for a moment, her eyes became sharp, "What do you mean!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Li Feifei and King Ning looked at each other and smiled, but did not continue to say anything.

On September 16th, the teams from the North American and European regions and the teams from the wild card regions have come to China one after another to adapt to the environment in advance and prepare for training.

In fact, Europe and the United States also know it.

They don't get any improvement at all when they play training matches against each other.

In fact, any viewer who pays attention to professional events will have a doubt, that is, why occasionally watch the North American and European regions, especially the leagues in the European region, they will feel that they are rookies pecking each other, and even in the first round of the group stage of the World Championship, the European competition will be outrageous.

However, the probability of the European team's successful counterattack in the second round of the group stage is the largest, and the improvement is great.

Why?

Very simple.

There is no shortage of talented players in Europe, what they lack is a rigorous and high-intensity training environment.

The training intensity in the European division is very low, and the North American division is even lower than the outrageously low, why are many well-known Korean players being assimilated immediately in the North American division without a season??

A week only play a rank as a training volume, the rest of the time is either fitness or party, such an environment even if your talent is comparable to faker, you can't play it.

And......

The environment assimilates people, and the age of the e-sports players themselves is too young and has no self-control, and in that environment, it is natural to be quickly assimilated and degenerated.

During the World Championship, they can make an appointment to train with LPL and LCK, the two involution kings, so as to greatly improve their strength, and the European coaching staff is particularly strong, which can always help the team quickly understand the version.

Every year, the earliest version is actually the European division......

On the contrary, LCK's ability to adapt to the version is even weaker than that of the LPL, but the LCK relies on the operation system even if it is a reverse version, and people can ensure a lower limit, leaving enough time for themselves to slowly adapt to the version, so LCK can always have the last laugh.

Mafa has also been waiting!

He's waiting for the play-in round and group stage, and plans to see how the European region understands the version, if the European division also values the incense burner...... Then it proves that IG's understanding of the version is correct in the general direction, so what the IG coaching staff has to do next is to develop various tactics around the prop of the incense burner.

At the same time, I went to study some unpopular heroes to see if they could be combined with the incense burner, so as to have the effect of a black technology!

As the team members from each major region came to Japan, the top of the canyon, which was specially designed to provide training for foreign competitors during the World Championships, began to come alive.

For the sake of traffic, major anchors began to snipe professional players, and the IDs of those professional players were all caught.

But......

Now the most important thing is the grouping!

September 20th!

The much-anticipated 2017 League of Legends World Championship group stage draw ceremony will be officially live!

All major live broadcast platforms will broadcast in real time.

The draw ceremony is divided into two parts, the first play-in tournament draw grouping, this year's Riot in order to further expand the influence of the World Championship, directly expanded the scale of the entire wild card division, mainly last year's two wild card games during the group stage performance greatly stimulated Riot!

ANX directly reached the quarterfinals as a wild card match!

And INTZ, which has the Brazilian holy monks, although they lost the group stage, also had the feat of defeating EDG, the No. 1 seed team in the five major regions.

This year, Riot is revamping the format to include a play-in tournament before the group stage begins, with teams from wild card regions around the world participating.

At the same time, in order to make the play-in competition more intense and exciting.

In addition to the No. 3 seed in the LCK, the No. 3 seed in the LPL, North America, and Europe regions will start from the play-in tournament and compete with other wildcard regions for four tickets to the main stage of the group stage!

"Hurry up, hurry up!!"

All IG members also waited in the training room for the first time, and all members watched the grouping together.

Today's officially invited lottery guests are AmazingJ, the top laner of the IM team, and Sima Laojiao, an ADC player of OMG.

The two of them will first draw the group of the play-offs.

There are a total of 12 teams, divided into 4 groups, and then the group stage will be played first, then the group first will play the second group and the other group will be the winner, and the winner will qualify for the main stage!

The final division situation is out, because the three top league teams EDG, C9, and Fnatic will not meet in the group of the play-in, in fact...... The results of the play-in tournament are known from the moment the group is released.

EDG, C9, and Fnatic are all well-known and strong teams, and facing a group of unknown wild card teams is not quacking??

For the other 9 teams in the wild card region, their only hope is to avoid the group where these three teams are located, because there are only three teams, and there is destined to be a group that will not have a team in the top league, and that is the group with the most hope for them to qualify for the main competition.

[Ouch, Riot is always worried about your B wild card team, who wants to watch this? 】

[I want to see the grouping of small IG!! 】

【Race!】 Race! Race!! Can't you just stop rubbing!! 】

Fortunately, the official also knew that the play-in tournament would not attract spectators, so it soon came to the official draw of the group stage.

All teams are divided into three seed pools.

The No. 1 seed pool is the No. 1 seed in each major region, which is Dragon Ball, G2, IG, and Lightning Wolf.

Lightning Wolf is the No. 1 seed in the LMS region, while TSM is the No. 1 seed in the North American region, why can the Lightning Wolves enter the No. 1 seed pool?

Mainly because of the poor results of North America in the past few years, Riot is divided according to the overall results of the past two years in the World Championships, and North America has the worst results, so even if TSM is the No. 1 seed in North America, it cannot enter the No. 1 seed pool in the group stage, but has to be placed in the No. 2 seed pool.

As for the second seed pool, there are those teams that directly qualify for the main event, which are SKT, Samsung, RNG, AHQ, GAM, MSF, TSM, IMT, a total of eight teams.

The teams in the No. 3 seed pool are the four teams that have advanced to the play-in round, because the play-in tournament has not yet started, so this time the group stage draw ceremony is only a temporary division of the first and second seed pools.

At the same time, teams from the same region will avoid the group stage and will not appear in a group.

The lottery guests are still AmazingJ and Sima Lao Thief.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the expressionless Sima thief came to the stage, took out a gacha from the glass tank, and then unscrewed it, opening the small note with the team's logo printed inside and presenting it to the audience!!

"The teams that were placed in Group A were...... Team IG! "The people in charge of the commentary of the group stage draw ceremony are Guan Zeyuan and Wang Yiyi.

"Actually, the draw of the No. 1 seed team doesn't show anything, mainly depends on the No. 2 seed." Wang remembers talking eloquently, "The two Korean teams in the second seed pool are quite strong, so try to avoid them. ”

Soon!

The second team to be drawn was Team Dragon Ball from South Korea, who were placed in Group B.

The third is the G2 team from the European region, who are in Group C.

Then the last one is the Flash Wolves in the LMS region, who have been placed in Group D!

Next up is the final draw for the teams in the second seed pool!!

"Don't SKT! Don't SKT! Don't Samsung! Don't Samsung !! Su Xiaoluo clasped his hands together like a dancing god, and began to think about it in pieces.

Despite the strength shown by IG, the results of the training match against the Korean team were not ideal.

In the end, the team in the Korean region has been too strong in the past few years.

For the second year in a row, the World Championship Finals have turned into a civil war for them, and teams in any region will panic when they face off the Korean team, and they will be a cut behind in momentum.

"Let you say this, I want to say! Just smoke SKT, SKT cow, it's them! There's a kind of coming to the group stage to meet us! Li Feifei had a different idea, "As long as our goal is to win the championship, then these people are the ones we must defeat!" What's the difference between an early encounter and a late encounter? ”

"Or do you expect others to eliminate these strong teams and let us pick up the leaks? That person can beat SKT, which means that he is also very strong, I think...... There's nothing to be afraid of, come on! Hit it in the group stage! ”

"That's it!" King Ning also refused to admit defeat, "If you're afraid of a hammer, you have to fight with them!" ”

IG this group of people...... There weren't many serious players who had played against SKT because they had never been to the Worlds at all.

The only one with experience in fighting is Song Yijin.

Coincidentally.

In S4, Song Yijin won faker directly in a single kill, and he didn't have any fear of faker.

As a result, the whole IG team is not afraid of the name SKT.

I don't know if it's open.

With a smile on AmazingJ's face, the first note he opened was SKT's team logo, which was based on red as a whole, and the two sides of the team logo were open wings to indicate the club's take-off!

"SKT are in Group A and they will meet IG in the group stage!" Guan Zeyuan exclaimed, "Huh? This...... Group A has a bit of a tendency to be a group of death. ”

According to the rules of the format.

Every year, a group becomes a veritable 'Group of Death'.

And the conditions for judging the group of death are simple.

A group without a Wild Card region, with all four teams from the top league, has the potential to become a Group of Death.

Right now?

Group A already has IG and SKT, two teams from the LPL and LCK regions.

"?" King Ning and the others also widened their eyes, "Lao Li, your kid's mouth has been opened?" Really draw SKT?? ”

The IG players were also completely dumbfounded, not that they were scared, but they just felt outrageous.

The draw continued, with North America's second-seeded IMT in Group B and Dragon Ball, while South Korea's Samsung team was placed in Group C and G2, and Europe's second-seeded Rabbit team was placed in Group D of the Lightning Wolves.

The important thing is the second round draw.

"TSM should be the strongest among the remaining teams, and RNG can't meet according to the principle of avoiding the group stage in the same region, AHQ and GAM, I think it's better to meet GAM...... Although AHQ is not as strong as before, it is also from the regular league. Guan Zeyuan explained the general situation.

Only three teams from Group A are likely to be drawn TSM, AHQ and GAM.

Among them, TSM should be the strongest, followed by AHQ, and finally the Vietnamese team GAM in the Southeast Asian region.

It was the turn of the old thief Sima to be in charge of drawing lots.

Still without a smile on his face, he pulled the gacha from it and unscrewed it.

The edge of the note is still red, and among these teams, the only team with the red team is the AHQ team, the red Pegasus.

"Ah...... AHQ was placed in Group A, which was okay, at least not TSM. Guan Zeyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

But Wang on the side remembered that he said, "It's a bit bad...... Group A only has teams from the LPL, LCK and LMS regions, so that means that C9 and Fnatic in the play-in tournament may be divided into Group A, if these two teams are placed in Group A, this Group A is properly the Group of Death, right? ”

Only then did everyone react.

That's right!

C9, Fnatic, that's all hard bones!

Especially the C9.

Known as the glory of North America, the fig leaf of North America in the past few years, the foreign war performance has always been the best one in North America.

Fnatic's lineup is also very strong, with Ou Cheng in the bottom lane and Caps in the middle lane, which fans call Europe's No. 1 midlaner.

Neither of these teams is good.

The final grouping situation is out.

Group A: IG, SKT, AHQ.

Group B; Dragon Ball, IMT, GAM.

Group C: G2, Samsung, RNG.

Group D: Lightning Wolves, Rabbits, TSM.

In terms of this grouping, the two groups that are most likely to become the group of death are groups A and C, depending on the final result of the play-in round.

Enter the Worlds now!
