Just after all the players participating in the global finals arrived in Wuhan, and Ye Zizhou and the others also trained for a week.

September 23.

At the Wuhan Central Gymnasium, finally, the much-anticipated S7 finals arrived.

Even if it is just an appetizer for the finals, many players are waiting in front of the live broadcast page, waiting for WE to appear on the stage.

Ye Zizhou, Puppy Xiangguo and the others did not go to the scene. They just found a larger room in the hotel and watched on the screen together.

The intensity of the play-in rounds is not high.

But like thousands of spectators, they were also slightly anxious and looking forward to it after not watching a game for more than 20 days.

At the very least, let’s see what new tricks these wild card teams in the current version can come up with.

At 13:00 p.m., WE faced off against R7.

There was no suspense in the simple brutal game. WE did not show any trump card at all. With a lineup similar to that of the Summer Games, they won R7 in 27 minutes. This also made the 60E people cheer and made the outside commentators once again.

I am impressed by the overall strength of the LPL division.

However, as time goes by, major competitions are held one after another.

Many viewers also immediately discovered that although this time Riot Games forced a play-in tournament for the so-called wild card team.

But facts have proven time and time again that the traditional four major competition regions, which have been passed down all the way and have been professionalized and commercialized very early, are not something that these emerging wild card teams can compete with.

Of course, looking at the members of the wild card team, they have been fighting on the court until the last minute, including some players who occasionally performed brilliantly. Many people still showed great respect to them, and the warm applause at the scene was even higher.

A wave.

No matter what, they are all heroes in their respective regions.

The qualifying round is their world finals... and may be their only best opportunity in their entire career to be exposed to a global audience.

The second day and the third day.

WE is still riding the wave.

C9 and FNC are also playing tricks.

Only the Wanwan team HKA, led by Tabe, had a poor record and fell into a quagmire in Group D.

No wonder it was said before that the strength of the Wanwan Division has plummeted, and this Flash Wolf must be their final glory.

Judging from HKA's performance, there may be only one Flash Wolf in the entire Bay Area Division who can compete with the top teams, and AHQ may occasionally be able to become the current water ghost.

The other teams are no different from wild cards, and even in terms of potential, they can't compare to wild card leagues such as Brazil and Turkey!

After the BO1 in the qualifying round is over, it will be a BO5 battle to determine the qualifications for entering the group stage, which is the top 16.

No surprises.

WE, FNC, C9, three 3-0, securely qualifying for the playoffs.

Only HKA was upset and was overthrown by the wild card team FB.

At that moment, perhaps the Riot officials who came up with this play-in format were congratulating each other after a burst of ecstasy.

Because this finally proves the significance of the qualifying competition... and finally a team from outside the five major regions can successfully advance to the group stage through this competition system!

Domestic audiences are also happy to hear this.

As long as anyone can go to the Wanwan Hell Forum and take a look at PTT's e-sports section, no one will sympathize with HKA.

If you don’t let Na Yelang be arrogant every day, the black LPL will show its true colors in the S game.

It's good now, the sun is strong, everything is revealed, the LPL hasn't appeared yet, their third seed has a top 32 tour and goes home first!

…

As the dust settled on the four teams, what followed was the group stage draw.

After all, LPL is the home court and the guests are drawn, so they continue to arrange for veteran players to play.

But the group stage follows the principle of avoiding the same division, so each group only has one or two possibilities.

The excitement of the draw cannot be compared to the previous group stage matches.

Having said that.

As a fan, I still hope that my home team can encounter some weak opponents in the group stage to avoid accidents like LGD in the past.

EDG fans are sweating, fearing that C9 will come to Group C.

WE's supporters were shouting "Group D" crazily.

Even fans including RNG, the super team that is clearly the number one in the world, are afraid that C9 will enter Group A... The North American Light really can't say that.

If the group stage turns into a water ghost, it will be enough for RNG to have a headache... In this group, the suspense has never been about the qualifying spots, but the battle for the first place in the group.

Once the second group goes out and encounters Samsung or Dragon Ball, even if they can pass, they still have to use all their cards and risk their lives.

finally……

Under the spotlight again.

The real draw is over.

Group A: RNG SKT AHQ C9 enters Group A

Group B: LZ IMT GAM FNC enters Group B

Group C: G2 SSG EDG FB enters Group C

Group D: FW MSF TSM WE enter Group D

moment.

EDG fans cheered and Old 60E was also overjoyed.

Only RNG supporters smiled bitterly and shook their heads at this moment.

It's really all about the elite.

This FB gift package was actually picked by EDG.

In this way, EDG's prospects for qualifying immediately became brighter.

As long as they win a G2, even if they lose to Samsung in a double defeat, they can still advance to the knockout rounds by being second in the group.

But no one thinks that FB, a wild card team, can pose any threat to EDG.

On the contrary, RNG in Group A is twice as difficult. In addition to a life-and-death battle with SKT, it also has to ensure that it will not lose to C9!

However, given RNG's, especially Zizhou's, performance in foreign competitions over the past year, everyone is still confident that RNG will qualify first in the group.

Just as Wolverine Miller explained these comments and commented on Weibo, this group can be regarded as an extremely good draw for the LPL.

The three teams are almost as stable as dead dogs in the quarterfinals, and they can also challenge for the first place in the group.

In this way, once there is no civil war in the top eight, everyone can look forward to an LPL with three top four teams, or three heroes from the top four to encircle and suppress SKT!

Seeing these familiar words, domestic players are once again optimistic and underestimate the enemy.

Ye Zizhou, who was lying on the bed at night, could not help but have a slightly strange expression.

The top three teams surround SKT every year before the tournament, right?

He had seen this scene too many times in his previous life.

But this time.

The expansion point is also correct.

Don't ask, just ask "it doesn't matter, I will take action anyway"!

…

The qualifying round is over, and in the past few days leading up to the main round of the S competition, the client and major media forums have been frantically warming up.

Not only domestically, but also abroad are also hyping up the meeting and battle between the old and new gods, Zizhou and Faker.

The official Riot poster even depicts the S7 finals as SKT and Faker on the left, and RNG and ZL on the right.

From an almost tiny position below, you can see Senior Brother, Ah P and the like... I'm really not afraid of commentators from North America and Europe blasting them.

But it's true.

China and South Korea are currently the two strongest competition regions. Zizhou and Faker have had numerous grievances and grievances this year, and they are ranked second and first among Riot Games' top 20 players this year.

So this time we meet on a narrow road, it’s time to get to know each other!

It's a pity that the competition between these two teams is temporarily postponed.

First of all, the opening match has to be another carnival for the piggies.

They are so cute that Riot Games officially released them.

In the first show, EDG played the wild card FB team.

Can this guy lose?

There are no single-win single levels in the periphery, and even Young Master Teng Yang doesn’t know how to buy them...
Chapter completed!
