As far as signing is concerned.

JD.com is definitely a top sign, and it is destined not to meet any too strong opponents in the group stage.

On the contrary, when Li Feifei walked out of the training room, he saw that Xiaohu's face was not very good-looking, and his first reaction was that he was not adaptable, but he immediately reacted again.

RNG This is not a group with SKT, don't look at Xiaohu showing off his power in China, when he reaches the international arena, he will wilt, not to mention that he met Lee Sang-hyuk, who he feared the most in his career?

is also surnamed Li, this bloodline suppression is really not covered.

"Teacher Guo, your luck is not good." Li Feifei laughed and teased.

"Don't talk about it." Mala Xiangguo waved his hand, "Damn, why don't you take shit luck." ”

Group B has a chance to become the group of death, because the G2 teams in Europe and the C9 teams in North America are likely to be divided into this group, G2 is okay, this team gives the impression of the 'Phantom God of Civil War', but C9 is not easy to deal with, North American glory.

"It's embarrassing, luck is also part of strength, it proves that God recognizes our strength." Li Feifei smiled and teased.

Later, I saw IG people, for IG, this signing was acceptable, and they didn't complain about the poor signing.

There are no fewer training matches between IG and JD.com, and Redmi has decided that IG is a good training opponent in the current version, mainly in this version, which focuses on swinging in a BP stage and small-scale team battles.

These are the points that IG is best at, and playing training matches with IG can be a good exercise in this aspect of JD's ability.

With the results of the draw for the group stage, the target range of the training match has also expanded a lot, as long as it is not in Group A, the strong team can become the target of JD.com's training match.

After a few days, everyone is still in the process of figuring out the version, and JD.com's record is also good and bad.

On the contrary, RNG's training results are very good, and they almost never lose!

Their style of play is simple.

The four-in-one, the upper middle tool man, and the lower lane to Uzi to get a big core hero like Kaisha, but he played a good result in the training stage, and even made many teams try to learn their style of play.

"Isn't it...... Could it be that RNG has touched the core of the version? Lin Weixiang was a little unconfident when he saw the results of RNG's training match.

"If the results of the training match can be counted, TSM and EDG will not have won the championship long ago?" Li Feifei rolled his eyes, "RNG's results can't be counted. ”

How to say it.

The version of the World Championship is 8.19, and the major regions, even the LPL region, which has the latest end time, have ended the competition in early September, and the version at that time is still 8.17......

There were two minor updates in between, during which none of the teams had played any serious matches.

Therefore, everyone is still in the process of exploring the BP priority of the current version of the hero and the correct way to play.

Therefore......

The training match is mainly based on exploration, but the results at this time are not so important, and the results of the training match will not affect your final championship, nor will it affect your qualifying for the group stage, which is nothing more than a psychological comfort.

The reason why Li Feifei said that RNG's playing style is more clever.

A large part of the reason is that RNG did not take the initiative to explore the version of the play, but still used the four-guarantee and one-game system that they have used countless times within the LPL league, which is a tricky behavior!

Including previous Worlds.

The two teams TSM and EDG can always spread the news that they are invincible in training matches, which is essentially the same truth.

When everyone is groping for a version of the game, you don't make a change, you give up the version for the sake of the results of the training match, but instead follow the style of play in the summer game, which can really make you invincible in the training match.

But when it comes time to compete, you'll be one step behind!

"Four guarantees and one probably won't be the mainstream." Redmi also expressed his opinion, "With the strength of the team battles of the heroes of Sword Demon, Akali, and Sword Sister, it is unlikely that the shooter hero will have much room to play, and if you use the tank hero to match these heroes, even the sword demon with the worst lane ability is estimated to be able to beat the tank hero." ”

Redmi got to the point.

The strength of the warrior hero is visible to the naked eye, the line can sling the tank, and the team battle can crush the shooter!

"But that doesn't stop us from making preparations." Redmi didn't say anything to death, after all, the version of this kind of thing...... No one knows exactly what the follow-up will follow, but what if it is really brought up by RNG?

You can't go wrong with both preparations.

Just when JD.com was in full swing preparing for the group stage.

The play-in tournament has also officially begun.

Riot has further expanded its Wild Card slots this year, hoping to further expand the focus of the S-Event, after all...... For those regions that don't have a regular league, having a team from their own region reach the main stage of the World Finals can greatly boost local viewership.

The most typical example is Brazil.

During the S6 World Championship, INTZ from Brazil entered the main event, and the Brazilian Monk even kicked EDG, which ignited the League of Legends atmosphere in the entire Brazil at that time.

Today, even though there is no regular league in Brazil, the atmosphere for the event is not even worse than that of the bend.

However, the teams in the wild card region are uneven, and there will be four teams from the regular league in the main ones, and it will be difficult for you to compete with them.

Can you expect the Wild Card team to beat Griffin in the LCK, or G2 in Europe and C9 in North America?

Even the most crotch-stretching, GRX from the LMS region is not something that the average wild card team can beat.

After all, no matter how bad GRX is, other people's players Hanbok are also the strongest kings, and you are like some players from wild card teams, running to Hanbok to support the level of diamond masters.

In fact, the results are also very different, and the play-in tournament is also divided into 4 groups, each group has three teams, and in the end, the group ranks first and the group ranks second, of course, it is a cross-group duel.

Four days of competition time down.

In the end, four teams were decided.

They are C9, G2, GRX, Griffin......

It didn't come as a surprise, and as soon as the play-in rounds ended, the draw ceremony continued and the final group stage was officially decided.

The four teams in Group A are: JD.com, PVB, VIT, and Griffin.

The four teams in Group B are: Lightning Wolves, RNG, SKT, and C9.

The four teams in Group C are: KT, MAD, Liquid, G2

The four teams in Group D are: Fnatic, 100T, IG, GRX.

This grouping situation is basically not surprising to everyone, and Griffin, composed of the new generation of newcomers in the LCK, was assigned to Group A where JD.com is located, which at least improves the viewing of Group A a lot, and there will not be too many games with disparities in strength.

As for Group B, it can be said that it has become a veritable group of death.

C9, SKT, RNG, Lightning Wolves, these four teams are all very competitive, don't look at SKT's name is the largest, but this year's SKT has obviously declined a lot, and even the second seed in the LCK can only be achieved by Lee Sang-hyuk's explosive carry in the summer playoffs.

Lee Sang-hyuk alone, it is difficult to support alone, and if others do not return to the state they once were at their peak, SKT's strength is just like that.

It is precisely because the overall strength is very average, and everyone has the possibility of qualifying, which makes B form a group of death.

As for the two groups C and D in the back, the overall situation is very similar to Group A, you are like Group C, South Korea's No. 1 seed KT will definitely be able to get a place steadily, and the remaining one place is nothing more than a place between G2 and liquid.

As for Group D?

The qualifying spots are basically Fnatic and IG, and the other two teams do not pose any substantial threat at all.

And this grouping situation naturally caused heated discussions among domestic audiences.

[Jingdong and IG must be guaranteed to enter the quarterfinals, Jingdong, I'm not worried, IG don't play snakes, both ensure the first place in a group, so as not to get a civil war in advance. 】

[Only the world of RNG injuries has been reached?] This group of death......]

[MD, it doesn't matter if RNG can't beat SKT, it won't even be able to beat C9 and Lightning Wolf, right? ] If you really can't beat it, you can just go home in the group stage, don't be ashamed. 】

[What is the origin of Griffin, is there a brother to popularize science?] I've heard it's awesome. 】

[What's the use of being? Isn't there a genius mid-laner super power? Genius is just a ticket to match with my extraordinary brother, and my extraordinary brother has less genius in the middle of the list? 】

[That's it...... Forget about the so-called genius who doesn't have any honor, isn't the golden left hand also a genius? Don't want to be sanctioned by my extraordinary brother. 】

The whole Jingdong team can accept this result, or what Li Feifei said.

As long as you want to win the championship, then the 16 participating teams are all opponents that JD must defeat by default, and don't have any luck mentality.

Soon.

The time has come to October, and on October 1st, domestic audiences are enjoying a rare seven-day National Day holiday.

And South Korea, too, has opened the official battle of the group stage of the 2018 League of Legends World Championship!!

The opening ceremony was held at the League of Legends theme park in Seoul, and the scale is naturally incomparable with that of China, but it can be seen that Koreans still put a lot of thought into it.

Li Feifei and others came to the venue early.

The well-known commentator on the LCK side, Roaring Emperor, is making a final warm-up on the stage!!

"Next! Let's ask the 2017 League of Legends World Championship champion IG team to return the championship trophy!! ”

Huh!

This is the repertoire of the opening ceremony of the group stage every year, the champion of the previous year returns the championship trophy, the IG players appear on the stage wearing black and white team uniforms, and Song Yijin holds the championship trophy and places the trophy on the booth in front of the stage.

"Tsk...... It's a pity, Lao Li, obviously you are also a champion but you can't go on stage? Lin Weixiang teased.

"It's okay, it's our turn to return the championship trophy next year." Li Feifei smiled.

He doesn't really care about this situation, he doesn't lack such a little exposure......

Wait until the IG crowd returns the trophy.

Emperor Roar began to introduce the 16 participating teams one by one, which is equivalent to the collective appearance of the 16 teams participating in the group stage, and all the members gathered together on the stage.

SKT enjoyed the most cheers when they appeared.

Lee Sang-hyuk is the top name in the LCK league.

"Next, let's enjoy the exciting matchup brought to us by 16 teams!!" The Roaring Emperor made a short ending.

The opening match will be played by KT, the No. 1 seed in the LCK, against MAD from the LMS League in Group C.

This is the so-called host's home bonus, just like the first opponent of the World Cup host on the football side must be the weakest one in the same group, so that the host can usher in a good start is a reason.

KT also came up to play the weakest MAD team in the group.

There was no suspense in the whole process, KT's rookie midlaner Ucal showed his extraordinary strength and competitive state, and everyone understood why he could replace the fat general as the new midlaner of the KT team.

KT got off to a great start.

In an interview after the game, Ucal also mentioned Li Feifei, "I hope to meet the JD team in the follow-up game, defeat the mortal player with my own hands, and complete revenge!" ”

When it was in the intercontinental competition, KT met JD.com, and Ucal was ruthlessly educated by Li Feifei at that time.

This kid still holds a grudge?

His words also caused a burst of cheers and applause from the audience!

mortal's ID can be said to be the one that LCK hates the most at the moment, after all, in the past year, LCK lost to Li Feifei without any wins in the world competition, can they not hold a grudge?

The players of the JD team did not return to the hotel in advance, but waited at the scene.

Because......

Jingdong Hui ushered in the appearance on the first day, and Jingdong's first opponent was not easy to deal with.

It is precisely the Griffin team that has high hopes from countless viewers in the LCK!

All of them are high-scoring passers-by of Hanbok, and even their coach Cvmax claims to have the strength of the strongest king of Hanbok!!

Their strength should not be underestimated!!

And their appearance was scheduled for the third game.

After the KT and MAD match, another matchup in Group C was also played, with G2 and Liquid coming to a real man battle between Europe and North America!

And it turns out.

The North American division is indeed a bucket that can't be supported, and all members except C9 are shockwaves.

G2 easily defeated Team Liquid, and also got their own good start!!

And the third one!

It's a matchup in Group A.

JD.com vs. Team Griffin!!

"Welcome to the first match day of the 2018 League of Legends World Championship, where the next two players will be the No. 1 seed JD team in our LPL region to face the No. 3 seed Griffin team in the LCK!!"

"Don't look at Griffin as the third seed, but their individual strength is very strong, and it is also a good test for JD.com, we can see how JD.com is doing through this game, and we can also see how JD.com understands the current version!!"

The doll's voice fell!!

On the scene side, the director also directly switched the picture to the BP screen of both sides.

JD is on the blue side, Griffin is on the red side!
