Big Red Envelope! Home field advantage! (Third chapter!)
Time flew by quickly. Ever since they had secured the spot for the third seed, all the IG members had been working overtime in anticipation of achieving the best results in the following qualifiers.
They had been looking forward to the S competition for too long!
Not to mention that the S competition was held in China, so it would definitely attract a lot of attention.
Whether it was the attention or popularity, it had risen to an exaggerated level.
Unlike the previous S tournaments, every LPL team wanted to participate in the International League!
Unfortunately, there were only three spots.
Now that IG had finally obtained one of them after going through so much hardship, they naturally had to cherish it very much.
The principal even personally created a group the next day and gave everyone a huge red packet of 6666 yuan!!
Even Prince Ning, who did not go on stage, had one!
It could be seen how much importance IG placed on this year's World Competition. One had to know that they had only obtained the qualification to participate in the qualifiers.
If IG could directly enter the S10 group stage as the first or second seed, then there would probably be another 6 or even two more to this red packet.
This was just the beginning, and they were already sending so many??
"This guy is really stupid and has a lot of money. Isn't it good to give me this money?”Jiang Feng complained as he clicked to receive it.
He could upgrade his peripheral equipment now.
Time slowly passed in the tense preparation.
September.
Three days before the start of the S10 World Championship, all IG members had packed their things. The team leaders, coaches, and managers of the club management, as well as all the starting players and substitutes, took a plane to the city where the competition was held.
Everyone from IG had arrived at the hotel booked by the officials. They didn't even have time to rest that night and immediately began to meet up with the teams that had already arrived to start training.
Currently, the starting lineup in IG was still a little unstable.
And the instability mainly came from the jungler position.
The jungler was Ning Wang and Jiang Feng's rotation.
It was very cruel to attack whoever fought well, but it could also stimulate one's desire to survive!!
On the contrary, there was no movement from the bottom lane. However, everyone knew that IG was a team that targeted the middle and upper lanes. In the past, when Ah Shui was around, the bottom lane was basically left to its own devices because the bottom lane could often be used to gain an advantage.
But now, the puffs and sapphire blue were often pulled apart.
。。。
After playing more than ten training matches in a row, IG realized that the qualifying teams did not seem to be very strong.
Prince Ning even started killing randomly in one of the matches. He laughed arrogantly," Just this??!"
"These stinky fish and rotten prawns can advance. This grandpa is laughing!”
He was extremely disdainful!
This was the truth. Most of the teams participating in the global finals were the third seed teams of the major divisions and the champions of the wild card division.
Although they came from different countries, their playstyle and tactics were hard to compare with the LPL.
However, in e-sports, everything was hard to say. Everything was filled with the possibility of an upset!
Just like that, three days passed quickly.
September 25th.
The opening day of the 2020 global finals.
Today, the S10 was officially launched!!
The LPL had been particularly lively these past few days, but Jiang Feng had been staying in the hotel to train. He had heard that the tickets for the S10 qualifiers, just a normal ticket, had already been sold for tens of thousands of dollars by scalpers!!
This was only for ordinary seats. If it was a better infield ticket, the highest price would be more than 100,000!!
Just by looking at the ticket price, one could tell how many people had paid attention to the S10 this year!
(PS This article excluded the practical factors and wrote that there were people watching the match on the spot.)
As the team members had their phones confiscated, no one knew what was going on in the outside world.
However, it could be predicted that the fans outside and the audience from all over the world could not wait to watch the game.
"Dress up. We're going to get a good start today!!”
Su Xiaoluo was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. She called out to her team members and led all the IG team members, who were already fully prepared, to the stadium!
At this moment, the other three teams that represented the LPL had not even arrived in Shanghai, and they had no intention of coming.
Because there was still more than half a month before the start of the group competition.
They had plenty of time to prepare, but IG did not. After the bubble competition, IG did not even have a chance to catch their breath. They were about to step onto the battlefield again!!
This was the treatment of the fourth seed. There was no other way.
There was very little time left for IG, so although everyone was full of confidence in the training match, when it came to the competition, they were still a little weak.。。
After all, he had just made it out of the LPL and was still lacking in mental and physical strength to face strong teams from all over the world.
Although the qualifying round was not very popular, and many people who were not familiar with the rules of the S competition did not pay attention to this stage, it was still a part of the world competition. The opponents they faced were the champions of various countries that they had never played against before.
Perhaps it was because they were fighting on home soil this year, the officials had specially arranged for IG to be a member of the opening match.
Today's first match was the battlefield of IG!! The format of the qualifiers was very simple. The draw fee was for four groups.
The participating teams were from twelve different countries.
The top two teams in the group would advance to the knockout stage and compete with the second place in the other group in BO5. The final winner would be able to advance to the S10 main competition, which was the group stage of the 2020 global finals.
IG was assigned to Group C, so their luck was considered relatively good.
The teams that were in the same team as him were not very strong.
And today's S10's opening match was against a team from the IG group----!
———
All members of IG were present, as were the rest of the teams.
There were all kinds of people.
With all sorts of people gathered together, it was obvious that this was a standard international competition.
With everyone present, the opening ceremony officially began!!
The opening ceremony of the qualifiers was very simple. It was to introduce the teams of each country. After all, many domestic audiences had no idea about these teams at all.
In many people's hearts, the group stage of the global finals was actually the real competition. The qualifiers and whatnot were just appetizers!!
If it weren't for the fact that this year's S competition had expanded in scale and that IG was included in the qualifiers, many domestic audiences might not have paid too much attention to this.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Feng originally thought that there would not be too many people coming today.
However, when she stepped into the competition venue, he realized that he was wrong.
At a glance, the audience was densely packed. Everywhere he looked, there were people moving.
They were all f * cking humans!
Moreover, almost all of them were Chinese. Only a small portion of them were foreigners with high noses and blue eyes.
Even Jiang Feng saw a small number of fans cheering for him.。。
At this moment, Jiang Feng finally knew what the home ground advantage was!!
