The entire ceremony is divided into two parts, the qualifying round and the group stage.

The first and second seeds from the four major regions advance directly to the group stage, so they do not participate in the draw of the qualifying rounds.

Meng Ma also omitted this part of the explanation.

The focus is on the group stage.

The entire group stage is divided into four groups ABCD, with four teams in each group.

The No. 1 seeds of the four major regions, kt, ym, fnc, and fw, each occupy a group.

The rest will be ranked from the second and third seeds according to the principle of avoiding the same division.

In the group stage, teams from the same division will not be in the same group.

Soon, the drawing ceremony officially began.

The lucky draw guest for this year’s group stage is me, who used to play as a top laner for LGD in the S5 era, and is known as the “Princess”.

Dressed handsomely, he went to the round basin in the No. 1 lottery pool, reached in and stirred it, took out a ball, and carefully opened it.

Flame showed the note to the camera, with the name "flash wolf" written on it.

"Lightning Wolf is very lucky, he hit the target on the first shot." Xiaotian said with a smile.

"What you said sounds a bit weird." Zuo Yi glanced at him inexplicably.

The rest of the people ignored the two people's banter and all watched the live broadcast attentively.

There was actually no suspense in the first round of drawing. Everyone just wanted to know which group ym would be divided into.

Flame continued to draw prizes, and the second ball he drew out revealed the team name of FNC when spread out.

The third one is kt, and ym is actually the last one to be picked out, and is placed in group d.

"This is the finale." Zhang Xiaowen smiled.

pdd didn't say anything, he knew that the highlight was coming next.

Flame walked to the second prize pool, reached in, and quickly grabbed one with quick eyesight. When he spread it out, it was the team name of rng!

"What the hell is rng's luck?? Didn't he make it to the quarterfinals in a group with Flash Wolves!?" Xiaotian immediately started complaining as soon as he saw it.

Among the four groups, the Flash Wolves are recognized as a team that has reaped the dividends of the times. Although they are in the No. 1 lottery pool, their true strength is estimated to not be even up to the level of the LPL third seed.

"I guess Xiao Ming and the others are already laughing their heads off in the base. This is really good luck." Zuo Zuo said with a smile.

Flame then drew prizes and picked out the third seed in the AFS and LCK divisions, which was second only to geng in the second lottery pool and was also a relatively poor draw.

However, FNC itself is also a strong team, so they don’t really care about this. Ou Cheng, who was watching the draw ceremony live at the base, didn’t even blink.

Then came the draw of Group C. With a smile, Flame put his hand into the No. 2 prize pool, took it out after a few seconds, and slowly opened the ball in his hand.

When he showed the note in front of the camera, the entire ym base fell into silence.

The note in flame's hand is actually geng's name!

According to the principle of region avoidance, geng was unable to enter group C with kt from the same region, but automatically moved forward and entered group d of ym!

"No, what kind of luck is this?" pdd shook his head helplessly.

The second seed in the lck is undoubtedly the worst pick in the second pool.

"Don't panic, stay calm, there's still one round left," Meng Ma comforted.

After I drew the second seed Mad in the LMS division for kt.

The second round of drawing begins again.

In Group A, Flame once again drew PVB in the Vietnam Division, and the wild card team was properly signed.

Fans of the royal family went directly to the living room to kneel down. This grouping is equivalent to rng going directly to the top eight. You can open the champagne in advance.

In Group B, fnc ushered in the second seed 100t from the North American division, which was a good draw.

In Group C, kt won the second seed vit in the European division.

The remaining team in the second pool, tsm, was automatically assigned to ym in group d.

Before the start of the qualifying rounds, the status of each group is as follows:

Group A: fw, rng, pvb (Vietnam wild card team)

Group B: fnc, afs, 100t (second seed in North America)

Group C: kt, mad, vit (Europe’s second seed)

Group D: ym, geng, tsm (No. 1 seed in North America)

After the lottery was announced, everyone in the ym base fell into silence.

Basically, everyone watching the live broadcast has reached a consensus.

Group D, where ym is located, is the most competitive among the four groups and the most difficult to qualify.

Commonly known as the group of death!
