It is worth mentioning that the current EDG players are naturally in a special lounge.

After all, it is a game played on your own turf, and it is very simple to contact a special lounge in advance.

While everyone was watching the draw ceremony, the photographer of the team with a camera was faithfully recording the reactions of the EDG players.

Xu Yuan sat in the center of the sofa and glanced at the camera, his face a little weird.

Draw, photography.

These two things are linked together, and they always remind him of the famous Xiaohu Erduan Smile.

But he didn't care.

As long as you win, isn't it?

If you win, who will have a chance to whip your corpse?

"Draw the number one seed first, right?"

Ming Kai took a bottle of iced tea and asked casually.

"Well, look at which group, there is still the principle of avoiding the same group, but unfortunately only one South Korean team can be played in the group stage."

Xu Yuan said indifferently,

Pity is written all over the face.

It would be nice if there was no avoidance in the same group, directly in the Swiss round.

Wouldn't it be exciting and exciting to have a group stage like KT when the time comes? If you win the championship, it will be the most valuable episode.

Xu Yuan is not afraid of the Korean team.

This is not actually because, he thinks that he will be able to win the Korean team steadily.

I didn't say it was good before I played, even if MSI won SKT, Xu Yuan didn't think that they would have to be holding the handle when they played SKT in the World Championship.

It's just because his goal has always been to win the championship.

And if you want to win the championship, you must fight until the end.

Since you have to fight both horizontally and vertically, what is there to be afraid of?

Do it with real knives and guns!

Today's lottery is a player from the LPL.

To be more precise, it's someone who has played on the top of EDG, AmazingJ.

Abbreviated as AJ, or Sharp Hook.

Xu Yuan really wanted to laugh when he saw that he was still young.

Even if he was asked to guess for himself, it would be difficult for him to guess that he would become a tiger tooth four dogs later, right?

The current posture is still a clip, Brother Crystal still gives the impression of sadness, AJ is still honest and duty, and Baiyun is still calm and not good at words.

Maybe this is time, no matter how powerful the disguise is, the prototype will be exposed in front of the years.

With a shy smile on his burnt zero, AJ reached out and pulled through the four balls in the No. 1 seed pool.

The barrage is much more tense than EDG.

"Who will be Group A? I now wish I could see EDG first, and I don't have to wait all the time. ”

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

"I hope EDG's signing will be better!"

As a fan, it's normal to hope that the home team's signing is a little better.

AJ pulled around a few times and finally came out with the first ball.

LPL has always been very clean in this kind of lottery ceremony, and it does not engage in any crooked ways, and what is drawn is what it is.

This is also the atmosphere that has been handed down from the time of the ancestors.

Don't bother to play that particularly insidious.

So what hot and cold balls that are definitely not there.

AJ opened the ball, a hint of surprise on his face, and pointed the note at the camera.

EDG！

"Hell, it's really EDG first-hand? My heart can't stand it a little bit now! ”

"AJ is awesome, is EDG going to Group A?"

"It's okay, it's good to know about the EDG grouping earlier."

Different from the original EDG, the current EDG carries more hope.

Because they took the MSI, they were still defeated head-on.

The 3-0 summer tournament also shows its strength, and it is definitely the only team in the LPL.

Coupled with Xu Yuan's sudden rise, there are far more people who support EDG now than other teams.

"We're the first to go?"

Ming Kai was stunned.

He really didn't expect AJ's draw to be so accurate.

"It depends on whether the LCK is the second seed or the third seed, it's all abuse anyway."

Xu Yuan put his hands behind his head, not particularly nervous.

Even if he drew the original champion of SSG, he would not be particularly worried.

Because SSG's group stage was really not very good, they slowly evolved and adapted to the version after game.

The last to become the champion.

Even RNG has beaten three stars in the group stage.

So if you want to say how much Xu Yuan is afraid of SSG, it's really not enough.

A little bit of attention, but not much.

The remaining three teams from B to D are:

The No. 1 seed in Group B from the LCK, Team LZ.

The No. 1 seed in Group C from Europe, Team G2.

The No. 1 seed in Group D from Bend, Team FW.

Today's North America is completely incomparable to Europe, and there is no suspense in the EU>NA sentence.

They don't even qualify as the No. 1 seed.

Immediately after that, it was the turn of the No. 2 seed pool.

"Actually, to be honest, I was hoping to draw SKT."

Xu Yuan spoke softly,

"The continental competition was just a fight with them, and to be honest, it was a bit of a bit of a lack of fun."

"We've run into them twice since MSI, right? One MSI and one continental tournament, it would be nice if they met in the group stage this time in the world championship, and then abuse them. ”

He spoke with great confidence.

And the rest of EDG has no objections, because they really have a good confidence in playing SKT.

Even if you are afraid of the Korean team, you will not lose any confidence after winning twice in a row.

Today's EDG self-confidence has reached its peak.

Xu Yuan watched the draw without blinking.

He wasn't sure if there was such a thing as a butterfly effect.

If all goes well, it should be SKT.

It's his favorite script.

And on the contrary, EDG fans don't really want to draw SKT.

The reason is actually quite simple......

"Don't come to SKT! Let's get to the quarterfinals first! ”

"If you want to play the Korean team, you must play again in the quarterfinals, if you expose your tactics after playing with SKT, and you are stolen by SSG or LZ, it will be too much of a loss!"

"I believe EDG can win SKT, but I don't want them to meet in the group stage!"

In a word, they think EDG can fight.

But it's not necessary.

Encountering SKT in the group stage is likely to expose tactics, which they don't want to see.

However, it backfired.

After hesitating for a moment, AJ pulled out his hand that reached into the pool of the second seed.

The moment he opened the ball, a helpless smile appeared on his face.

The next moment, the note is displayed in front of the camera.

SKT！

EDG fans are a little nervous.

If you really don't want to see anything, what will he do?

"It's really SKT, ......"

"It stinks! If you draw a European or American or LMS this hand, won't it take off directly? ”

"EDG I am confident, but will EDG be exposed too much in the group stage?"

And most of the LCK audience is actually really ...... I'm glad I am!

"Good sign! Why is it said to be a good sign? I just want SKT to play a little more EDG stuff and clear a little obstacle for LZ and SSG to win the championship, and of course, it's better to win. ”

"Yes, if LZ meets EDG in the semi-finals or even the final, and defeats EDG to win the championship, then this champion SKT has three points of credit, I am an LZ fan, a fan of sanity."

"As for the SSG? Whatever happens. ”

Why are most of them happy?

Because SKT fans aren't happy!

"Wow! EDG！！！ "Grit your teeth

"Bye! GOTTA WIN, SKT, FAKER!! "This is SKT fans in prayer.

"Ann ~ right...... It's not what I want to see! ”

This is sad SKT fans.

MSI was double-killed in the group stage.

The final was 3-2 and was smashed head-on, and there was no excuse to find.

The continental tournament was met and lost again!

This year's SKT is really bad luck for EDG.

So much so that now SKT fans are thrilled when they see EDG, which directly triggers PTSD.

Painful memories are open again!

I can't even hold back the Korean commentary, "Ahahaha, it's SKT again!" ”

"They and EDG are also fateful showdowns!"

"It's okay, this time SKT will definitely learn the lessons of the previous two times and successfully win EDG!"

"SKT, especially SKT in the S game, is not such an easy opponent to deal with! SKT has evolved! ”

"Inside! You're sure to win! ”

This is why Xu Yuan didn't hear what this Korean commentator said, otherwise it would be somewhat hilarious.

A fateful showdown?

Brother, let's fight each other a few times, you seem to have won two small games, right?

If you haven't won a big game, who is the fateful duel with you?

Who is?

It's like Meng Shu has been captured by the second time, and then he said to Zhuge Liang seriously, "Prime Minister, we are chess opponents!" ”

Kong Ming estimated that he would have to be laughed to death by Meng Huo.

It can only be said that the Korean commentator does not dare to offend SKT fans, and it is a bit euphemistic.

But it's okay, although the commentary doesn't dare to say, but the players really don't care.

In the SSG lounge.

When Boss An saw that SKT had met EDG unluckily, his face immediately became a little difficult.

He opened his mouth coldly,

"Ruler, get the camera down."

Emperor Qi quickly pressed the camera.

Subsequently—

"Hahahaha! West Eight SKT!! Good death!! Hahahahaha! ”

Boss An couldn't hold back and laughed completely.

Full of joy and fun!

One word:

Good death! Open champagne!

Don't think that SKT is always a god in the eyes of other Korean teams.

Other teams, both fans and players, also hated SKT.

Because SKT fans are so disgusting to others.

Even if it's all LCK's, it's not once or twice that they've disgusted other teams.

Especially SSG, as a team that has always been-for-tat with SKT, every time SKT gets a result, SSG will be slapped in the face.

As the veteran head of SSG, Ann will definitely not wait to see SKT.

So now when he sees SKT running into EDG again, he also laughs.

Instead of mourning SKT's death for a moment, he smiled.

And the same, the LZ Team Lounge.

"Hahahahaha! The unlucky ones are them!! ”

Team LZ grinned as well.

BDD is the one who laughs the most.

He has been scolded many times by Faker's fans, what is disrespecting his predecessors, what is not caring when shaking hands with Faker.

Such accusations make BDD really find it funny.

It's nothing more than because LZ won SKT, the game couldn't be played, and the liquidation began after the game.

Fanatics are like that.

"Ani...... You ......"

Only the current LZ team was on the list, and he smiled a little helplessly.

His face is not particularly handsome, but he is relatively good-looking.

The main thing is that the head is quite large.

"It's okay, Qinghuan, just laugh if you want."

Pray said coldly.

LZ's top laner Marin was a little crying and laughing, "I'm also a top laner from SKT, even if I transferred from AFS to LZ in the summer season, it's not good to laugh at them now." ”

In the summer season, because Smeb joined EDG, KT had to look for a new top laner, and finally selected Khan.

And as Khan chose to join KT, the original LZ competition failed, and finally found the top laner in AFS in the spring game, and the FMVP top laner of SKT, marin.

This is the butterfly effect.

"Mo Ya Yigu, didn't you say that you said that you wanted to go back to SKT at that time, but you were rejected and you were very unhappy?"

Pray looked ridiculous, "Do you want to talk to them now?" ”

"The behavior of the management has nothing to do with the players, I still hope that they can go further......"

Marin scratched his head and sighed.

He is in a very unstable state, and it is normal for SKT to refuse, and he does not blame.

But it happened to be in the final.

He played brilliantly, withstanding impatient opponents with his veteran experience and helping LZ win the Summer Championship.

Marin doesn't have as terrifying dominance as S5 now, and he's starting to make more mistakes.

But it doesn't mean that he can't even maintain the level of first-line orders.

The experience of the old way is still very useful.

"Hahaha!"

In the EDG lounge, after drawing SKT, Ming Kai laughed twice at that time.

But then he felt that something was wrong.

Why didn't Xu Yuan laugh?

He secretly glanced at Xu Yuan beside him.

Xu Yuan: ......

He noticed Mingkai's eyes.

Brother Kai, do you want to reproduce this kind of underworld scene?

Come on!

"Hahahaha!"

Xu Yuan also smiled.

"Hahahaha!"

So Ming Kai also smiled.

Can't be stuck by RNG, we EDG also have our own two-stage laugh!

"Not really...... Question, I've got SKT again, so let's see if bang is developing normally lately. ”

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows slightly, smiling.

I vaguely remember that Bang had said before MSI, "SKT is your forever home".

As a result, it was dried and crushed, and then there was no sound.

Xu Yuan is a very grudgeful person.

This time, I have to crush Bang if I say anything good, and then pat him on the shoulder and say,

"Little brother, EDG is your forever home! A garbage division like the LCK can't play to your potential! ”

As soon as he thought of such a picture, Xu Yuan's whole person was so excited!

And at this time, SKT ......

"Ah, I ran into it again."

Wolf looked a little ugly and smiled reluctantly.

SKT is the only Brother Li who is generally very crazy.

But now the situation is not ordinary.

The strength shown by EDG at the summer duel is a little sweaty even if SKT sees it.

I can't find out where the weakness is at all!

Although SKT Nakano is still a little stronger, whether it is on the road or on the bottom road, EDG can easily ferment bean curd.

Nakano is a little stronger, has it changed the overall situation?

Now, not Nakano's version!

Wolf has no confidence when he meets Xu Yuan now.

One can imagine how deep the shadow Xu Yuan left on him.

As a top-level support, wolf is most proud of creating trouble and dilemmas for the opposite AD.

However, he couldn't affect Xu Yuan at all.

It's natural to be discouraged.

“…… In other words, let's get out first. ”

"As long as you can qualify for the group stage, you won't meet EDG before the final, so it's already the best draw."

Lee Sang-hyuk also frowned, and could only comfort his teammates like this.

Want him to say that he can have a 50% win rate by playing EDG now?

He didn't have that confidence.

The main thing is that the fist is also like being blind, such a strong incense burner system, it is not aimed at much.

At most, it's slightly weakened stats, and it's still perverted.

The World Race incense burner version is confirmed.

And the incense burner version, if AD is very fierce, plus a very fierce single lead road.

SKT is also going to sweat!

The next group draw was no different from what Xu Yuan remembered.

The only difference is that because WE replaces the RNG group, WE and SSG meet in the group stage.

And this time, RNG went to the FW group.

Because the draw was made after the play-in tournament, the No. 3 seed pool was also drawn.

The final situation of the grouping is as follows:

Group A: LPL No. 1 seed EDG, LCK No. 2 seed SKT, LMS No. 2 seed AHQ, and LEC region play-in team C9.

Group B: LZ, the first seed in the LCK, IMT, the second seed in the LCS, GAM, the Vietnamese team that won the group stage spot in MSI, and FNC, the play-in team from the LEC.

Group C: LEC's No. 1 seed G2, LCK's No. 2 seed SSG, LPL's No. 2 seed WE, and LCS No. 3 seed FB [Feuerbachie] who advanced to the play-in tournament.

Group D: LMS No. 1 seed Lightning Wolves FW, LEC No. 2 seed MSF [Rabbit Team], North American cult TSM, and RNG in the play-in tournament.

"The RNG draw is really good, isn't this Group D promotion nine out of ten?"

Ming Kai was a little envious.

Although I am not afraid of SKT, I definitely want to take it easy in the group stage.

Group D looks like a bunch of stinky fish and shrimp.

FW？

What kind of garbage team, you ask the LMS region's own audience, believe them or not?

Lightning wolf? Flash pee wolf!

It is completely impossible for a team that relies solely on Casa to lead the rhythm to go far, and at most there is a chance to bite the South Korean team twice in the group stage. But that's about it.

TSM is also a well-known competition for soft-footed shrimp.

Every time the group stage is played, it is "Ah, we are invincible in TSM training matches!" ”

Then the group stage was sent as soon as it was played.

Big glass? Not really.

And MSF is even funnier.

What kind of intensity can the European team have?

The G2 that has been blowing is the same B-like, not to mention this MSF?

The icon is still a funny rabbit.

What lethality can a rabbit have?

Ming Kai thinks that if RNG can't beat MSF, then he will eat it directly!

Inexistent.

Hearing Ming Kai's words, Xu Yuan smiled a little unfathomably.

"It's hard to say."

Brother Kai, the rabbit is in a hurry, it will also bite.

MSF……

This team has left a deep impression on him in his previous life.

If the RNG is not taken seriously enough and has not studied the opponent.

So they're on MSF's......

It's not always possible to score two points consistently!

"What's hard to say?"

Mingkai pouted.

"Brother Kai, you forgot that you were ...... by Brazil"

Xu Yuan said coldly.

Ming Kai: ......

Ah, the brain is trembling!

"No, are you really a fan of mine? How do I feel like a sunspot? Do you remember the game I lost so clearly? ”

Ming Kai only felt outrageous.

Painful memories came flooding back to my heart.

October 5th, Opening Ceremony!

One team after another, the flags gradually fluttered above the stadium with the introduction.

EDG is also one of them.

As they took the stage, the big screen in the stadium showed them winning the summer races.

Among them, the European and American commentary is still passionate.

“EDG！ Won 3-0 against WE! They have encountered countless strong enemies along the way, but for EDG, WE is only one of them! ”

"Now, they are going to be the No. 1 seed in the LPL and compete in the S7 World Finals!"

"If EDG has proven that they still have the strength to challenge the best team in the world in the final of MSI, then in this World Championship, their goal is only to win the championship!"

Xu Yuan raised his head and looked at the fluttering flag.

"Hmm."

He replied softly.

After the opening ceremony, EDG did not continue training.

Because today there is their game.

The opponent is, AHQ.

Although the AHQ team is a bit humorous, no amount of humor is not a reason for EDG to relax.

In the first game, WE vs. FB.

There's not much to say about this game, and the [FB] Felbachie team doesn't have much strength in the first place, it's just a make-up.

As the second seed in the LPL, WE has no problem playing this kind of team, although it will be broken in the summer final against EDG.

What surprised Xu Yuan the most was that the FB team was also the leader.

They pressed their skateboard shoes, but they didn't press WE's most handy system of Prince Galio.

Even the wind girl gave WE.

It can only be said that one is highlighted against the sky.

For European and American teams like this, the coach's BP level is basically equal to none.

WE defeated FB without any waves and got off to a good start for LPL.

In the second game, G2 played SSG.

This one is still quite interesting.

Although the big brothers in Europe and the United States can often do some eye-catching ruthless work, Perkz's performance is really good.

Especially after being ridiculed by Xu Yuan before the game, perkz is now full of thoughts about reaching the quarterfinals and finding a way to meet EDG.

Then give him pleasure and send him away!

What is the No. 1 seed for Ah P?

It doesn't matter, I'm a P and I can take it casually.

He doesn't have any fear.

In the early and middle periods, G2 once had an experience advantage of two or three thousand, which made European and American audiences very excited.

Could it be said?

And then there was no then.

The medium-term operation of G2 is simply a lump, the kind that the eighth can't even talk about when he sees it.

SSG just needs to operate step by step, and G2 will start delivering it itself.

SSG won the seemingly thrilling but no surprises, and also helped the LCK get off to a good start.

The third, LZ hits IMT.

It's also a dish, there's nothing to say.

The rest of the FNC and GAM matches feasted Xu Yuan's eyes.

Western food, it's really good!

FNC is like a mentally retarded person, he doesn't take any neutral resources, and when he has the greatest advantage, he has even broken a front tooth tower of GAM.

Then I started getting sick.

During the big dragon team battle, AD was left alone and was directly caught by GAM and killed.

And then there's the constant team battle wins.

FNC fans couldn't believe it.

Fack! Our teamfights can't beat Vietnam?

can only be in line with history.

The Vietnamese guerrillas were a bit ruthless, and it was normal for European and American GIs to do it.

FNC was in a hurry and began to fantasize about stealing the tower.

Then he was noticed by GAM and directly killed the person who stole the tower, and in response to a wave of FNC, directly bean curd FNC.

Vietnamese bean curd FNC, out of the ranks!

Next up is SKT vs. C9, there's not much to say.

With FNC's lessons in place, how could SKT dare to mess around?

They've lost too many tournaments this year!

Now even in the group stage, it is in a state of full strength.

Twenty-four minutes direct head ratio ten to one, tyrannical C9.

It's a bit of a break for European and American audiences.

However, after the SKT game, it will be the most interesting game of the day.

EDG, vs. AHQ.

The highlight is not whether EDG will lose, but how many minutes EDG will speed run!

"Gone."

Xu Yuan stood up suddenly, his expression calm.

Behind him, one by one, his teammates looked calm and walked towards the entrance.

The pace is steady and powerful!
