Two days later.

The qualifying places for the rest of the groups in the play-in round have also been determined.

Not surprisingly, the FNC in the EU division and the C9 in the NA division all easily qualified.

Wild card team FB from Turkey also managed to defeat ONE to qualify for the tournament.

Thus, a simple round of lottery ceremony began.

FNC's Ou Cheng came on the field and was drawn to Group B as soon as he came!

"?" King Ning's eyes widened: "They went to Group B, so aren't we?"

"Well, no matter which one we draw, we're going to go to Group D," Lu Shen nodded calmly.

Because of the two groups A and C, there are already LPL teams, even if they are drawn, they will be postponed to Group D.

"Ou Cheng is a good brother!" King Ning smiled so hard that his mouth almost reached the root of his ears: "I approve of him!" ”

Even a smile rose on Rookie's face.

If you want to win the championship, you must defeat all the strong opponents.

But this group does make it easier and less stressful.

Really.

Later, IG was drawn to Group C, but it was still postponed to Group D.

The final group stage roster was also announced.

Group A: EDG, SKT, AHQ, C9.

Group B: LZ, IMT, GAM, FNC.

Group C: G2, SSG, RNG, FB.

Group D: FW, MSF, TSM, IG.

This time, the upsurge of discussion about the group stage on the Internet finally brought IG.

"One thing to say, IG should be a must, right?"

"Indeed, Group D doesn't feel difficult."

"With the C god here, I feel that this year's IG is really completely different from the past."

"It's almost, do you really think people are European and American?"

"It's still very fierce on the EU side this year, okay?"

"Forget it, don't look down on other people's EU, IG may not be able to do it as a No. 3 seed."

"Ignore FW, right? Is it good that the lightning wolf BO1 has a high win rate? ”

"Speaking of the advanced quarterfinals, this year mainly depends on the performance of EDG and RNG."

Some people are optimistic, and some people are optimistic.

All in all.

The 16 teams in the main tournament have finally been fully confirmed.

The S7 World Championship is about to officially start!

For the next few days, the IG crowd still spent time in training matches.

Although the grouping is good, the pressure is also not small.

Of the five, only Rookie has ever competed in Worlds.

The other four are all world champions!

Moreover, even Rookie only came to a round as the third seed in S5 two years ago!

Well, there is, but only a little.

Meanwhile.

It's not been quiet online these days.

News about the players comes out every day, causing countless heated discussions in the circle.

For example, the famous whole team G2, Ah P is already clamoring to sweep SKT and EDG into the trash!

And all the SKT staff went to eat so-and-so cow head noodles.

C9's AD player Sneaky posted a photo of herself in women's clothing on social platforms.

FNC's Ou Cheng talks about idol Uzi.

Wait a minute.

One thing after another continues to lead the traffic!

The popularity of the entire S competition is also constantly fermenting under the unsparing efforts of the official!

To know.

The annual S competition is the most important node of the alliance's drainage.

Not only to attract new players, but also to attract old players who have quit the pit.

This year's S7 was held in China, coupled with the admission of a large amount of capital, the right time and place made this feast reach an unprecedented peak!

It's October.

On this day, not only IG, but even RNG and EDG all stopped training matches.

Because it's time to make a promotional video!

That's right, every year's World Finals, the contestants are asked to shoot promotional videos.

This year, as the home team, RNG, EDG, IG, were all called in for filming.

Of course, this thing doesn't take up much time, it's just that each team selects a representative player, shoots it for a short time, and finally makes a collection.

Soon.

Time is moving forward again.

It's October 5th.

This day has finally arrived!

The S7 World Finals is about to start!

"Let's go!"

Morning.

All the IG members sat on the bus, and everyone's faces were quite excited.

When they arrived at the Wuhan Sports Center, they found that the atmosphere here was completely different from the previous play-in tournament!

Before, it was just the stadium that was packed with people.

And now, even outside the venue, there are already crowds!

Countless spectators from all over the world, holding supporters from different teams, stood outside the stadium to cheer enthusiastically!

Of course, the most are still the Chinese, and it is the home field.

Many young ladies also painted a touch of red on their faces as a way to show their support for the domestic team.

There are also many cosers, dressed in cosy costumes of different heroes, standing in the square and attracting a lot of attention!

The languages of different countries are intersecting in the air, making people's scalps tingle!

"it." King Ning swallowed his saliva unconsciously: "No wonder they say that the play-in tournament is not the main competition, this special gap is too big, right?" ”

Before, I thought that the play-in tournament was also part of the world competition.

The popularity even crushed LPL's summer decision.

But compared to now, it's really still a small thing, and it's not a dimensional at all!

"Don't panic," Rookie tightened her face to hide her emotions, "Today's opening ceremony, there is no match for us at all. ”

The group stage is played six times a day, and the official arrangement on the first day is of course for the group with the largest traffic.

That is, group A and group C where EDG and RNG are located.

And they IG, they won't have a game until tomorrow.

But Rao is like this, and everyone still can't calm down their excitement.

When they entered the venue, the official staff took them in and explained a lot of matters.

Rehearsals for the opening ceremony then began.

That's right, rehearsal!

No way, when the game officially starts in the afternoon, it will attract the attention of audiences all over the world!

Once something goes wrong with the opening ceremony, whether it is the official or the organizer, the face is not good-looking.

So, after all the players on the team put on their makeup, they had several rounds of dress rehearsals!

The degree of attention is full!

After everything was done, everyone finally returned to the backstage of the venue and got a certain amount of rest.

The three teams of IG, RNG, and EDG all got together and complained.

"Whew-" Lu Shen let out a long breath, feeling a little numb: "Although we didn't play today, how do you feel more tired than playing?" ”

"It's good to get used to it," the director looked like a passerby.

"Anyway," Rookie looked at a few people in RNG, trying to deflect his pressure: "The first game is you guys in a while, are you nervous?" ”

"It's okay," Uzi looked calm and breezy, completely unaffected: "Take FB, it's not a big problem." ”

"Where's your EDG?" Xiao Ming smiled: "What do you think about playing the last finale today?" ”

"Same," Meiko grinned, "you kid, you just want to see us laugh, don't you?" ”

The people of the three teams were all kinds of jokes in the background.

Until the time came to one o'clock in the afternoon.

The venue is officially open!

Countless spectators began to pour in, and this super sports center that can carry tens of thousands of people is completely not enough to see!

There are even a large number of people who can only crowd outside the stadium to watch the projection on the big screen!

The commentators and hosts of each competition area entered one after another.

The channels of the live broadcast platforms are fully open!

There are even professional photographers who have already started to commission drones with lenses!

The atmosphere of the S race seems to have been pulled to a climax in an instant!
