In just one day, the entire European and American League of Legends e-sports circles were blown away by this regional competition temporarily organized by Riot Games!

Because it was a small event that was decided on the spur of the moment, Riot Games ultimately did not use the group stage venues that were being tested, but instead held a "villa game" like other events.

The so-called "Villa Tournament" is an event where the organizer invites some teams to rent in a large villa and directly uses the villa as a hotel and competition venue. It is suitable for events where the budget is insufficient, and it mostly occurs in small competitions in CS and DOTA projects.

among.

Because League of Legends is the e-sports project with the largest audience and the strongest profitability in the world today, and various events are held in a relatively arrogant manner, naturally it has never chosen this form of competition.

However, this time Jiang Bufan temporarily proposed the concept of "region competition" because it just hit the desire for championships in other regions, and the popularity was higher than Riot Games expected, so it decided to use the "villa game" format to come

The current competition will be held at this time.

At the same time, because the next day is the opening of the group stage of this year's World Championship, the competition format of this competition should be as simple as possible - three LPL teams entering the World Championship against three EU teams, and the coaches of the two divisions will play at the same time.

Determine the playing rounds of these three teams, and decide which team will play in each game temporarily before the game. It is not announced in advance. It all depends on the temporary performance of the coaching staff!

In other words, there will be a total of three games in this round of division competition. Each of the three teams will play once. After three games, the division with the most wins will win!

This competition system looks quite simple, but it is not simple at all!

First of all, because we don’t know in advance which team the opponent will be, the three teams in the division first need to rate their own teams. Whether the two strongest teams can win two games becomes a matter of

Especially crucial!

If the weakest team, as a low-grade horse, can block the opponent's high-grade horse for one game, then the remaining two teams will undoubtedly have an advantage over the opponent's medium-grade and low-grade horses!

After listening to the introduction from Riot staff, everyone in the LPL competition area laughed: "Isn't this Tian Ji's horse racing?"

At this time, all three teams from the LPL division gathered in their own conference hall. After understanding the format of this competition, the coaching staff of the three teams immediately became busy and began to formulate strategies.

Mr. Wang and others were also carrying bags carrying peripherals and chatting with each other. There were several photographers carrying cameras on their shoulders who were nervously broadcasting live.

Outside the door, players from other competition regions gathered outside the door, curiously poking their heads inside - because this regional competition is experimental in nature, only EU and LPL teams are participating, and it has little to do with them. If you don't want to go online

If you want to watch the video during the live broadcast of the event, you can only go to the floors of the LPL and EU divisions to have a look.

Relatively speaking, this entertainment competition is much easier for the LPL than the EU!

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the strength of the three teams in the LPL division is much greater than the three teams in the EU division, which means that the LPL division has a lot of room for development in terms of formations!

Needless to say, the XG team came to the World Championships with the goal of winning the championship. There is no doubt about their strength!

As long as the LTG team can show its strength in the game without stretching its hips, it is also one of the candidates to win this world championship. After all, it is a team that has won the LPL division championship, so it still needs to be respected!

The only team that is relatively weak is the IG team, but with the shy man in the top lane, the kid brother in the jungle, the thief in the mid lane, and the combination of Xihuang and Baolan in the bottom lane, it cannot be underestimated!

When the camera was shown to the EU division, the head coaches of the three teams gathered in a circle, holding the schedules in their hands and arguing endlessly!

"There is no doubt that for our EU division, the first victory is crucial!" H2K head coach said firmly, "So, we should not let SPY play in the first game and directly defeat our strongest G2

The team throws it up and wins its first victory!"

"First of all! Our SPY is not the weakest!" the head coach of the SPY team said, "Don't forget, our SPY has won more games in the regular season! Secondly, you have to think carefully.

, how will the opponent go into battle! There are two teams on their side that are at the T0 level, one is XG and the other is LTG!"

"I admit that XG is very strong, but the LTG team has never played in the World Championship. Their strength needs to be discussed!"

"What if the opponent plays Team XG in the first game?"

"Well……"

"So our side plays SPY in the first game?"

"Hell! How many times have I told you! We are not the weakest team!"

"Okay, okay! I understand! So you guys can't make it to the first round?"

"You can go! But I stress it again..."

"Yes, yes! You are indeed not the weakest! The weakest team in our EU division will be relegated this year!"

After a fierce argument, the three head coaches in the EU division finally reached a consensus that the team they will play in the first game is the SPY team!

On the other side, the atmosphere in the lounge in the LPL division was much more relaxed. After a period of humility from the three parties, the XG team was decided to play in the first game.

As analyzed by the EU division, the LPL division did not panic at all because they had two T0-level teams. They tried to win the first victory in this division competition and directly shot their own small team.

Wang, XG team!

When the teams from both sides came out for the first game, all the viewers who watched the game laughed - the third-seeded SPY team in the EU division faced the second-seeded XG team in the LPL division!

"Poor SPY team, they have to enjoy a defeat in advance before the World Championship even starts!"

"I'm a European, but when I saw this outrageous lineup, I also didn't believe that the SPY team could win... But the good news is that after the XG team in the LPL division, only IG and LTG are left.

There are two teams, and we still have FNC and G2 in our hands, so it seems that we have a great chance to win this regional competition!"

"No! Have you forgotten that the LTG team is the LPL summer finals champion?"

"But they are just a new team after all! They were founded less than a year ago!"

"But they are the champions!"

"G2 is also the champion!"
Chapter completed!
