Chapter 123 Intercontinental competition upgrade, global competition
The revelations about the intercontinental competition were so explosive that the pre-arranged process in the canteen was completely disrupted.
However, the director not only didn't panic, but couldn't help but want to laugh three times.
With such a topical delicious feast, go to hell with other low-quality ingredients!
"Brother De, please explain the competition system and schedule in detail!" Colonel Guan asked immediately after receiving the instructions from the director.
"I also heard what Brother Mao said. If there is any discrepancy with the final content announced by Riot Games, please forgive me!" Remember to have enough risk avoidance skills and leave yourself a way out in advance.
Then, I remember it took a few minutes to go through the details of the intercontinental competition one by one.
To put it simply, based on the results of the spring split, the top four teams from the three major regions of LPL, LCK and LMS will be selected to participate in this intercontinental competition in Asia.
In the first two days of the group stage, teams with the same rank in the three major regions will compete in BO1, and the first, second and third place will be ranked according to points.
The team with the highest points directly advances to the finals, while the second and third divisions need to compete in a round of semi-finals.
The starting format of the semi-finals will be BO5, and each division will arrange its own order of play. The first to win three games will be the winner.
"This competition system is a bit interesting! No one knows which team will play which team beforehand, which adds an element of off-site gaming!" Colonel Guan's eyes lit up.
"There are four teams in each division, and BO5 gives priority to teams that have never played before. In other words, in the smoothest situation, one team will win without playing! And in the most anxious situation, after five rounds, one team will win
When the team goes up to play the second game, it will also be a life and death game for the entire competition area!" the factory director analyzed.
"Yes, this is the characteristic of the Intercontinental Series! Each division will become a whole, and the four teams will no longer be competitors, but will become teammates who cooperate with each other!" I remember being equally excited.
This brand new competition system, the feeling of uniting for the glory of the competition area, is as exciting as a shounen manga!
To a certain extent, the value of the Intercontinental Championship is higher than that of the S Championship!
"According to the results of the Spring Split, where are the four teams in our LPL: WE, EDG, RNG, OMG, LCK and LMS?" the director said excitedly, clasping his fingers.
"The spring top four of the LCK are SKT, SSG, KT and LZ!" Park is worthy of being an LCK passer and knows them all.
"If I remember correctly, the LMS should be FW, AHQ, JT, and M17." I remember that I still cared about the old division and named the top four of the LMS.
After Zhuge Liang listened, he found that there were also deviations between this intercontinental competition and his previous memory.
First of all, although the LPL still has the same four teams, the specific rankings and team members are different.
The butterfly effect of LCK is also huge. Samsung, which was supposed to be the third runner-up, defeated KT, who was supposed to be the runner-up. In addition, a Dragon Ball team emerged that only started to rise in the summer split!
Compared with the MVP team that ranked fourth in the LCK Spring Split in previous memories, this Longzhu team that brought together Khan, Cuzz, Bdd, PraY and GorillA is obviously much more difficult.
The worst thing is the LMS division. The top FW in the division was directly hollowed out by the LPL. Even the coach and most of the players left, and the summer split was completely ruined.
The competitiveness of the entire LMS division has dropped a lot, and there is almost no possibility of disrupting the situation.
In other words, this Asian competition is basically a fateful showdown between LPL and LCK!
"It's hard to fight!" This is Zhuge Liang's judgment.
In the previous life, LPL used Tian Ji's horse racing and gathered the strength of the entire competition area to defeat the LCK.
However, WE swept SKT to win the MSI, which was a wake-up call for the LCK, and the LCK must pay more attention to it.
The early rise of the Dragon Ball team means that there is no longer any inferiority among the four LCK teams, and no one dares to claim which team in the LCK will win for sure.
Looking back at the four LPL teams, WE is certainly stronger than before, but the absence of Mystic and Ben leaves a point in suspense that WE should have secured.
EDG and RNG are in a sluggish state, and I don’t know if they can adjust quickly.
OMG is not sure of the situation at the moment, but compared to the Spring Split, the lineup has not changed much, so presumably there won’t be a big change in strength.
The enemy is strong and we are weak. Even Zhuge Liang feels that this intercontinental competition is difficult to win.
If you want to defeat the LCK and win the title of Asia's first division, the difficulty is still higher than in previous lives!
……
The arrangements for "Canteen Weekend Night" were completely disrupted, and the four people discussed the intercontinental competition for a full hour.
The number of viewers online remains high, even slightly higher than when it first aired.
There is no way, the news of the intercontinental competition is too exciting, no less than a mushroom egg falling among the player groups.
"Holy shit, competition in the division, LPL facing LCK, this is too exciting!"
"This means that if the LPL wins the LCK in the intercontinental competition, the labor and management will be exaggerated for a year."
"Tsk, judging from the performance of RNG and EDG on the first day, I feel like I'm going to kneel down!"
"As a friendly reminder, the LCK summer split has started next door. The four teams participating in the intercontinental competition are all very fierce, especially the Dragon Ball team, which should not be underestimated."
"It's a pity that Mystic is absent. Otherwise, if WE catches SKT, there is a high probability that we can get this difficult point."
"Puppy, the team is in danger, come back quickly! Come back early to find your form, the new ADC is unreliable!"
"EDG should really reflect on it, otherwise it will not only lose its own face in this intercontinental competition, but also the dignity of the entire LPL!"
Following the heated discussion on the Internet, Riot Games officially announced the news of the Intercontinental Tournament the next day.
However, the content announced by Riot Games is different from the revelations I remember in the canteen show, especially in the division of regions, which has undergone surprising changes.
In view of the fact that some competition regions cannot afford the cost of the event and the viewing ability is not enough, Riot Games simply came up with an upgraded version of the pot!
That’s right, it’s no longer an Asian competition, but a global competition!
A serious battle for the top of the world, fighting for the first division in the world!
In order to increase the enjoyment of the event and prevent the heavy schedule from affecting the normal progress of the Summer Split, Riot Games has imposed restrictions on the issuance of qualifications for the competition area.
Those who have obtained full qualifications are LPL, LCK, LEC, and LCS.
The remaining LMS, GPL (Southeast Asia), OPL (Oceania), and LCL (Commonwealth of Independent States) will form a team each to form a luxury wild card team.
Really, a five-party battle!
Intercontinental competition?
No, this is clearly the global competition!
"The fist is really enough to cause chaos!" Zhuge Liang couldn't help but sigh after hearing the news.
The world line is in complete chaos. Who knows if some non-existent galactic battleships will pop up in Europe and the United States?
Including assembling the strongest alliance team in the wild card, it is not necessarily easy, and you will be defeated if you are not careful.
In just one month, it is almost impossible to study a total of 16 powerful opponents from all over the world!
Unless...
Zhuge Liang took out his mobile phone.
"Hey, Coach Abu? I have something I want to ask you for help with..."
"Hello, Coach Firefox, I am Wolong, the head coach of WE. I took the liberty of asking for your number from someone else. I really want to discuss something with you..."
"Coach Homme..."
"Coach White Crescent..."
After making phone calls one by one, Zhuge Liang began to mobilize the power of the entire LPL.
A task that one team cannot complete may not be impossible if the entire LPL works together!
At first, it was Zhuge Liang who took the initiative to contact us.
But only half a day later, each major team came forward one after another and expressed their willingness to contribute to the preparations for this global competition.
There is also a coaching staff and a sparring group, which is called a positive attitude.
Everyone is holding their breath. Since the honor of the entire LPL is related to the competition, it is not just a matter of the four participating teams.
Those teams and personnel who regret not being qualified are also using their own methods to fight for the LPL they love!
