Gathering of the Top 16, Drawing lots Ceremony
Following the qualifiers, the elimination rounds ended one after another.
The top 16 teams for the World Competition had all been selected.
The top 16 teams from all over the world were also rushing to Wu Han after the elimination round.
The competition venue for the group stage was still the stadium of the sports center in the city, which could accommodate tens of thousands of people.
In the group stage.
The sixteen teams would be divided into four groups, each group consisting of four teams.
Each group would compete in a double-loop Bo1 format.
The top two teams in each group could enter the next round of the competition, the quarterfinals, followed by the quarterfinals and the finals.
A few days after the elimination round, there would be a group draw ceremony.
The groups would be divided into groups by drawing lots from different drawing pools.
This group was also very interesting.
In order to avoid players from the same division from meeting in the group stage, there would only be one team from the same division in each drawing pool.
This would ensure that before entering the top eight, there would be no internal friction in the same division.
Not only did it make it more ornamental.
At the same time, it would also allow the major divisions to have the possibility of advancing to the top eight.
October 1st, drawing lots ceremony
The drawing ceremony was broadcast live. The groups that drew lots were all celebrity players who hadn't participated in the S competition, some famous commentators, or some well-known hosts from various countries and leaders of Riot companies.
At this moment.
The players and coaching staff who participated in the group stage were all waiting in front of the huge wall-mounted television for the results.
The audience was amused by the drawing ceremony.
However, the players and coaching staff were terrified.
After all.
This thing also had luck.
If they were assigned to a group with relatively weaker overall strength, the probability of advancing to the top eight would be higher.
However, if there were SKT, SSW, RNG, or LZ in the group, they would basically belong to the death group.
If they were in the same group as SKT and RNG, they could basically buy their tickets in advance.
The drawing ceremony is at nine o'clock in the evening.
Under the expectations of the audience, the drawing ceremony finally began.
The number of viewers in the various broadcast rooms was rising crazily. The least number of viewers in the broadcast rooms had already exceeded millions, and the most had reached tens of millions.
The overwhelming barrage of comments covered all the images.
The audience was also cheering for their favorite team.
He hoped that his favorite team would have a good grouping.
All the staff members of the League of Legends branch in IG were gathered in the living room.
There was a 100-inch LCD TV hanging on the wall.
At the same time.
At the sports center in WuHan.
A young man in a suit and exquisite makeup slowly walked up to the drawing stage.
Under the guidance of the host, he reached his hand into the square tube with the words 'Pool 1' printed on it.
The atmosphere in the rooms of the major teams suddenly became tense. The players and coaches all looked at the youth nervously.
"Bang!"
The sudden strange noise frightened the IG team members who were concentrating.
Someone from the coaching staff even cursed and turned around to stare fiercely at the staff member who had broken the teacup in his hand.
"No, I'm not. No, no, no. Sorry, I was too nervous…I didn't hold it."
The young staff member quickly apologized.
"It's okay, you..."
"I touched it! He touched it! It was the MDG! The first one to draw was actually an Edg!”Rookie's excited words made the coaching staff member quickly turn his head.
intra-screen
The young man opened a piece of black paper and smiled as he turned the paper to the camera.
There were three big words on it.
EDG！
Edg was the first to be selected and was directly sent to Group A.
The scene changed, and the long and glorious resume of Team Edg suddenly appeared on the screen.
At the same time, the emcee began to broadcast the video very quickly.
In 2014, he won the LPL Spring Tournament and Summer Tournament.
In 2015, he won the LPL Spring Tournament and the MIT Invitational Tournament.
In 2016, Demacia won the LPL Summer Championship for five consecutive years.
2017 LPL Summer Championship
The long resume was broadcasted by the host's impassioned speech, resonating with countless viewers.
After all, the only team in the country that had ever won the MMI championship was the team known as the Illusion God.
Especially the soulful factory manager, who had many fans in the country.
Almost the moment the three words " ED G " appeared, the screen was filled with the words " 777 ".
As the different guests came on stage, one team after another's grouping was slowly determined.
After half an hour of drawing lots, the twelve teams that had entered the group stage earlier had all been grouped.
Group A: MDG, ESF, AHQ
Group B: LZ, Imt, GAM
Group C: G2,SSG,RNG
Group D: FW, STK,TSM
At this point, the 12 teams that had their spots confirmed in the group stage had already been grouped, and the remaining four teams were the four teams that had advanced from the knockout stage.
The IG players were still in a state of watching the show, but now they were all nervous.
Lin Yi could even hear Rookie swallowing his saliva.
Rookie was really nervous.
This was the second time they had entered the World Cup. If they could have a good group, it would be very easy for them to advance to the quarter-finals.
Rookie's desire for the championship was very strong.
He had been playing in IG for so long and had yet to win a championship. If the first championship trophy was
Although he didn't dare to hope for it, he couldn't help but imagine it.
Rookie looked at Lin Yi, who was staring at the screen, and his eyes lit up.
Perhaps with this guy, he could really have ambitions for once.
The coach was also staring at the screen nervously.
In the LPL as a whole, it would be best to avoid Group A's EDG and Group C's RNG.
This way, the three seeded teams in the LPL could avoid each other.
There wouldn't be any internal strife for the qualification spots before the quarter-finals.
After all, this was the LPL's home ground, and it was always good to have one more LPL team in the top eight.
The remaining groups B and D.
The best grouping for IG would be to enter Group B.
Although the Dragon Ball team was the favorite to win the championship in Group B, the remaining two teams were much worse than Group D.
If IG can enter Group B, the probability of advancing will be greatly increased.
However, the drawing of lots that followed completely shocked everyone.
C9 was in Group A, FMC was in Group B, FC was in Group C, and IG was in Group C.
At this point, the grouping of the group stage was completely over.
Counting the last group to advance, the top 16 groups had all been formed.
Group A: MDG, ESF, AHQ, C9
Group B: LZ, IMT, GAM, FMC
Group C: G2,SSG,RNG, FF
Group D: FW, SKT,TSM,IG
At the same time, it also opened the prelude to the fierce competition in the sports center of the city!
