If nothing unexpected happens, these wild card teams that won the championship in the small competition will be crazily ravaged by the No. 3 seeds in the finals ten days later.

This is the old tradition of S competition.

"The draw for the finalists is over. Next, Flame is invited to continue and select groups for the four No. 1 seeds!"

Flame's face remained calm and walked to another glass basin containing four black balls.

The group stage is similar to the finalists, with four groups, with four No. 1 seeds occupying the top spot.

In other words, the No. 1 seeds from each competition area will not meet in the group stage.

After the group stage, the top two of each group advance to the quarterfinals knockout stage.

The next draw will determine the ownership of LPL No. 1 seed RNG, LCK No. 1 seed SKT, LMS No. 1 seed Flash Wolf, and European No. 1 seed FNC.

(Because the North American team did not enter the quarterfinals last year, the No. 1 seed was reduced to the first level and entered the No. 2 seed pool...)

Flame moved his right hand and opened the ball in his hand. The Lightning Wolf's team logo appeared and fell into Group A.

Next sign...Flame expands the team color bar and displays the team name in front of the camera.

RNG!

Soon, the big screen behind me changed and began to play RNG's highlights this year.

Chen Yuandaomei's level six fights three, MSI's Death Song's famous soul-destroying scene, Uz's five kill Kasha, Xiaohu Aoun's anti-nature group control, and Xiangguo's barbaric invasion.

The scenes of winning the spring season, MSI championship, Intercontinental championship, and summer season championship are shown in turn.

"Since losing to SKT in the semi-finals last year, RNG has made a comeback with stronger strength, winning the LPL spring and summer double championships, and also won the midseason invitational and Asian confrontation championships! There is no doubt that they are the biggest favorites in this year's competition!"

Immediately afterwards, FlaC was divided into Group D.

"Next, we invite another guest to draw the team of the second seed pool for us..."

Faker's good friend Bengi appeared, with a hint of shyness on his face. From this place, the lottery session will become tense.

There are eight teams in the second pool, namely LPL No. 2 seed IG, LCK No. 2 and 3 seed KT and GenG, LMS No. 2 seed MAD, North America No. 1 seed TL and 100T, Vietnam Division No. 1 seed PVB, and Europe No. 2 seed VIT.

Judging from the current distribution, as long as IG does not meet SKT and KT, and then RNG does not meet KT, it can be considered a good sign.

Bengi opened his first ball, and as soon as he opened it, KT's team sign was in the list and fell into the A group of Lightning Wolfs.

In the second sign, Bengi opened another ball, but his face suddenly became cold as soon as he opened it.

GenG.

"Here, Samsung! LCK's No. 3 seed, falling into Group B, will fight fiercely with RNG!" Changmao in the studio said loudly.

The people in the lounge breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time. GenG is the third seed and can be said to be the weakest among the three LCK teams. RNG is likely to beat the opponent easily.

Immediately afterwards, MAD and 100T are allocated in sequence and fall into Group C and Group D.

Next is the first tense moment.

Because the next team drawn will fall into Group A and fight against KT and BO1 King FW.

Amid the commentators' shouts, Bengi opened a black ball again!

PVB!

Everyone gave their first breath.

Immediately afterwards, as VIT is assigned to Group B, the second tense moment is entered.

In Group C where SKT is located, there are only two teams, TL and IG.

"Look at who will enter Group C?"

Bengi slowly pulled out a note.

This time, everyone laughed very brightly.

"TL!" Everyone in IG clapped at this time, "Good guy!"

Everyone knows that the last black ball is IG, and Bengi is still a routine thing, so he pulled out IG's team logo and entered the third position in Group D.

The layout of the four groups has been clear.

Group A: Lightning Wolf, KT, PVB

Group B: RNG, GenG, VIT

Group C: SKT, MAD, TL

Group D: FNC, 100T, IG

As soon as the grouping results came out, several companies were happy and some were sad.

All the worries before the game were not realized, and IG and RNG perfectly avoided SKT.

"NICE!" Everyone in the training room breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, "Good sign and sign!"

The team of only the chickens in the foreign land was a little dejected at this time.

You RNG and IG have successfully avoided SKT, so what should I do if I EDG...

【Silly Chicken Good Brother!】

【Why is it said to be a good sign?】

[Send TL joy away, senior brother goes home again with the top 16]

"At present, the probability of RNG and IG appearing is relatively high. In addition to their hard power, the level of opponents in the same group is not high, which is also an important reason."

Changmao explained: "But EDG is a bit miserable, because of the principle of evasion in the same competition area and group, they cannot join Group B and Group D after qualifying into the finals."

"One of Group A and Group C has KT and FW, and the other has SKT. They are both very strong opponents, and they still need to depend on the team's performance."

The results of the group stage were released, and immediately afterwards, the major coaching teams began to study their own closely and gongs and began to study their opponents' weaknesses.

The team members are also reentered in training.
Chapter completed!
