The group stage has come to an end, and only eight teams have obtained tickets to the knockout rounds.
LPL viewers were so angry after watching RNG's game that they wanted to exit the live broadcast room immediately.
But I thought that after the game, there would be an important knockout draw ceremony, so I had to hold my nose and watch it.
Representatives of the eight teams were divided into Pool 1 and Pool 2 and stood in sequence, waiting for the results of the draw to be announced.
Tonight’s draw guest is surprisingly the handsome boy recognized by LCK, Watch.
Well, one-tenth of Wolong’s looks!
By coincidence, Watch hit V5 on the first draw, and V5 then came to the top of the left half.
Then, the second one drawn was G2.
The moment he saw his team's logo, Jankos, the player representative of G2, couldn't help but rub his head with a wry smile on his face.
Being in the same half zone as V5, it is undoubtedly not good news for G2, which has a very big picture.
In fact, G2 would rather be in the same half zone as SKT than face V5.
On the other side, SKT player representative Xiaohuatana breathed a sigh of relief.
The evil Wolong is in charge of V5, and the previous failures are still vivid in his mind. Little Peanut really doesn’t want to run into V5.
"V5 is very lucky and won't face SKT before the finals."
"Brother, I'm afraid you're telling the opposite. Isn't it SKT's signature?"
"The expression of G2 jungler is bright, is V5 really so scary?"
Soon, the grouping of the right half will be confirmed.
SKT was placed at the top of the right half, and GRF was placed at the bottom of the right half.
The Kimchi Country audience at the scene sighed with regret. The script for the LCK teams to meet in the Incheon finals was ruined.
However, there are some rational fans who think this grouping is good. At least SKT's hope of advancing to the finals has increased a lot.
Immediately afterwards, Watch walked to the stage of Pool 2.
All the audience held their breath, waiting for the answer to the mystery to be revealed.
The first ball was taken out of the glass jar, Watch unscrewed the lid and spread out the paper inside.
FNC!
Ou Cheng's handsome face was visibly gloomy, while Rookie and Xiangguo beside him patted their chests happily.
If possible, it would be best not to have a civil war.
Besides, judging from the game records in the LPL, neither team really wants to face V5.
"Watch, you smoked well!"
"He's handsome, I'm lucky, I love him."
"I feel sorry for Ou Cheng, I won't have the chance to be interviewed by Aunt Yu Shuang in the knockout round."
"Wuhu, take off, V5 is great!"
"Last year, Wolong led the team to compete against three LCK teams. This year, it was replaced by LEC. It's a pity that VIT did not live up to expectations (funny)!"
Watch reached into the glass jar again, took out another ball and unscrewed it.
RNG!
At that moment, Jankos was happy, while Xiangguo clenched his fists with a murderous look on his face.
However, the two seemed to have forgotten the principle of avoiding the same group.
According to the competition format, RNG cannot be grouped with G2, so it will be moved to the top of the right half.
In other words, team up with SKT!
"Damn, play SKT? We might as well play G2!"
"No more, RNG can carry it away in advance, fearless bath for the top eight!"
"Who let them fail to live up to their expectations and be pushed down by G2? Now they are fine, they meet the big daddy SKT!"
"From RYL to RNG, has RNG ever defeated SKT once in BO5?"
"Haha, little peanut is grinning crookedly."
With RNG being assigned to a group of SKT, subsequent groups have been locked in advance.
TL was previously in the same group as V5. According to the rule that they would not meet again before the finals, TL could only be placed in the lower right half of the zone, in a group with GRF.
IG then came to the bottom of the left half and faced G2.
"If it were yesterday, I would have thought IG was a good pick. After watching today's game, I was a little panicked."
"RNG's loss to G2 is purely due to its own problem. If IG plays well, it should win."
"That's good. At least the LPL can occupy a spot in the finals, and there is also a guaranteed runner-up."
"Oh, it's a pity for Xiaoxiao and M Shen. TL may still have a chance against G2, but it feels like it's uncertain against GRF!"
"There is a high probability that V5 will beat SKT in the final. In view of Wolong's foreign war buffs, V5 can be concluded as the final champion."
"No, you all agree that RNG will lose to SKT?"
"Uh, I don't know what the ingredients are above. Does anyone really think that RNG can overthrow SKT?"
There have been many discussions on the Internet, and LPL officials have also conducted detailed analysis and interpretation.
The opinions given by everyone are basically the same.
Three LPL teams, V5 won the lottery, IG won the lottery, and RNG won the lottery!
……
V5 conference room.
Zhuge Liang is doing ideological work on the players.
When Watch drew FNC, everyone in V5 was obviously smiling happily, and it felt like they were seeing it.
As we all know, this is a very, very terrible behavior.
Yes, drawing FNC is indeed a good draw for V5, and V5’s overall strength is stronger than FNC.
But this is no reason to relax your vigilance, and there is nothing to be thankful for.
"Xiaotian, you are smiling very happily. You feel very stable, don't you? From now on until the knockout round, you will train me for 5 additional games of Jax every day!" Zhuge Liang said coldly.
Jax is the unique skill of FNC jungler Broxah, and he is very worthy of attention.
The hero pools of Xiaotian and Broxah overlap a lot, such as Blind Sin, Olaf, Xin Zhao, and Nightmare. However, Xiaotian rarely uses this weapon master.
Due to BP considerations, the best result is naturally to let Xiaotian practice this hero. No matter how hard it is, he can understand its weaknesses and disadvantages and find a way to deal with it.
"Awei, you should have seen Caps' laning ability. He is smiling so playfully now, so don't get killed by him in the laning!" Zhuge Liang looked at Wei Shen again.
Today's Mad Little Hat has not yet evolved to its full form, and will occasionally send waves out of nowhere in the middle and late stages, but his laning ability has already begun to show off.

If Wei Shen is stubborn and insists on competing with Caps, he may become a breakthrough.
"FNC's bottom lane hero pool is very broad, and the overlap with ours is quite high, and Rekkles is also an ADC who can play core and even tool players. When BP is difficult to target, you can only rely on the opponent to break the game.
In terms of lane ability, the two of you are focusing on strengthening your cooperation and suppression of the lane these days." Zhuge Liang said to the bottom lane duo.
The V5 players were called one by one, leaving only Nuguri and Theshy looking at Zhuge Liang.
"You two, let's have a truce for the next round." Zhuge Liang said slowly.
The two brothers were stunned for a moment, never expecting such news to come.
However, out of respect for Zhuge Liang, the two did not question his decision in person.
To be honest, Zhuge Liang was not very satisfied with the performance of the two in the group stage.
Because it was their first time to participate in the World Championship, and the venue was still in their own country, the two of them had a strong desire to perform.
The flaws and loopholes reflected in the game are details!
The audience and commentators didn't notice it, and maybe even the players themselves didn't realize it, because the victory covered up the side effects.
Only Zhuge Liang discovered the clues when he played TL in the first round of V5.
The reason why we insist on letting the two play through the second round is partly to help them level up, and partly out of understanding.
Now that I have gained some limelight and accumulated experience, it is time to show off to them.
Some people may think that Zhuge Liang is too picky, but that is Zhuge Liang's style.
People plan things, and God makes things happen. Even the human affairs have not been completed, so why should we expect God to help us?
