Since GAM wants to represent the country in the Southeast Asian Games, the Vietnamese team participating in MSI this year is the spring runner-up SGB.
The predecessor of SGB Saigon Buffalo is the PVB that participated in MSI in 2019.
After two years of absence from the World Championship, this team once again starts the World Championship journey, which can be regarded as a reincarnation for the VCS division.
Cuzz: "Wow! We played the Vietnamese team in the group stage. I wonder if they are strong?"
"It's not that strong, but the teams in the Vietnam Division are very brave, so we can't be careless when the time comes."
Rookie has played against PVB, the predecessor of SGB, in 2019, and the style of this division is really impressive.
Lin Cheng struck fists and palms together, looking confident.
"Don't worry! We won't be captured by Vietnam anyway."
The on-site draw was really a full show. When the second number two seed PCS was drawn, the cheers from the North American audience in the audience were even more deafening.
PG, which means that North American champion EG will be grouped with G2.
European and American pornographic classics dislike each other. Although the outside world thinks that Europe is obviously better than North America, in the eyes of North American audiences, Europe is also a bunch of noobs.
On the LCS finals stage just now, the host shouted that North America is very strong this year.
EG fell to the loser's bracket early in this year's LCS spring playoffs, but they made it all the way from the loser's bracket to win the championship and only lost one small game. The strength they displayed completely conquered the North American audience.
What?
Do you think EG achieved this result because the LCS is too weak?
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Anyway, it is definitely better than the stumbling European team G2.
NA is greater than EU!
The opportunity has come.
This year's LCS will shock the world.
"Holy shit! This group of North American audiences are so crazy, 23333"
"Europe and the United States are so happy, the group battle is like winning the championship"
"Classic rookies look down on each other"
"RNG and PSG are separated again, Overheard 2, right?"
"Don't let BP be heard again this time"
PSG actually performed very well in the mid-season tournament in Iceland last year, edging out North American team C9 and reaching the semi-finals.
However, due to an eavesdropping dispute with RNG at the Icelandic game, LPL viewers and Taiwanese viewers started talking to each other last year.
At that time, the competition venue in Iceland was very small, and the seats of both teams were relatively close to each other. If you did not wear headphones, you could even hear the BP discussion on the opposite side.
Coincidentally, when RNG encountered PSG, they BAN whatever opponent they wanted to pick in the second round of BP, so the RNG players speculated that the opponent was eavesdropping.
Both sides could actually hear each other, and it's hard to say whether PSG did it intentionally or not.
But originally the LPL audience was at odds with the Bayan audience, so the rhythm suddenly picked up.
At this time, the Wanwan audience who were watching the draw were already clamoring to defeat RNG.
The LPL audience also threatened to beat up the provincial team.
In this way, the first two rounds of draws are actually very topical.
Group A: The KT dynasty at its peak welcomes the return of VCS, the legendary strongest wild card, after two and a half years.
Group B: Overheard 2 is staged.
Group C: Classic North America’s most promising year, a battle for blood between Europe and the United States.
Soon, all subsequent lottery results were released.
Group A: KT, SGB, AEZ (LLA Latin America), DFM (LJL Japan)
Group B: RNG, PSG, IW (TCL Turkey Division), RED (CBLOL Brazil Division)
Group C: G2, EG, ORD (LCO Oceania Division)
Now that MSI has canceled the play-in tournament, everyone knows that the third and fourth seeds in each group are basically there to make up the numbers and are basically uncompetitive.
Of course, as League of Legends has developed to this day, we have seen many examples of wild card counterattacks.
Take the LPL as an example. Ever since Mr. Mingkai led EDG to their debut in S6, almost every LPL team has lost to a wild card in the World Championship.
It can only be said that Qi Jiang’s influence on LPL is still continuing.
In the afternoon, Lin Cheng and his teammates set off for Suwon and were invited to kick off the game for the KT Wizards.
This time the opponent is SSG registrant, formerly known as SK Feilong.
He was also one of the protagonists in the game where Lin Cheng and Han Seo-yeon caught a baseball with their bare hands.
Shinsegae Group spent more than 130 billion won to acquire SK Feilong last year and changed its name to SSG Register.
Although the salary of top e-sports players has exceeded that of Korean professional baseball players, there is obviously a certain gap in the value of clubs. Among all LCK teams, only the News Agency Shuangxiong and GEN·G have market values that exceed the average of Korean professional baseball clubs.
In fact, this is normal. After all, the e-sports industry still has great limitations compared with traditional sports.
Generally speaking, if an Asian e-sports club wants to sell RMB 800 million, only the extremely poor RNG would dare to open the door.
The withdrawal of SK Dragons means that there will no longer be a telecommunications war in the Korean Professional Baseball League starting this year.
In a sense, it is also a pity.
The business relationship between New World Group and KT is relatively close. This game is the first time the two teams have met, and it can also be regarded as the beginning of a new history.
To welcome a new opponent, KT, which plays at home as usual, will invite guests to kick off the game.
It happened that the brother clubs in the e-sports sector had nothing to do, so they decisively came to help.
As a representative of the kick-off, Lin Cheng once again threw a pitch with a speed of 150 per hour.
The audience was so excited that the host joked on the spot and asked if he could borrow Lin Cheng to play games during the offseason.
It was shocking enough, but no one regarded Lin Cheng as a monster.
Because Lin Cheng wasn't the only one whose kick was outrageous.
In addition to loving playing baseball as a child, Japanese actress Ami Inamura can throw a ball at a speed of 105 kilometers without professional training.
You know, amateur female baseball players generally throw in the 40s and 50s per hour, and most professional players only hit the ball in the early 100s.
Compared with male players, Lin Cheng's throwing speed of 150 is considered to be the main pitcher level of a professional team. In conversion, it is actually not much more exaggerated than Ami Inamura.
There are many high school students in Koshien who can throw this kind of ball speed, so Lin Cheng's tee shot may seem outrageous, but in fact it is barely reasonable.
Lin Cheng won applause from the audience because of the glorious kick-off.
However, the time to be embarrassed will soon come.
There is a break in every inning of a baseball game, and KT players and cheerleaders cheer together.
During the live disco dance, Lin Cheng's dancing highlighted the uncoordinated limbs.
Of course, he would not admit it himself.
It was all because the cheerleader girl dancing in front of him was too eye-catching, and the pair of headlights made it difficult for him to concentrate at all.
Although it feels like it has high-tech content, it is not for Lin Cheng to express his experience of using it.
It's really beautiful.
It's normal to be distracted.
However, netizens all believe that the horse is a black sheep.
Before the baseball game was over, Lin Cheng's enchanting and abstract dance took the Internet by storm and successfully made it to the Naver hot search.
It's all a joke!
Even Cheng Za was embarrassed to say that he danced beautifully against his conscience.
While Lin Cheng was concentrating on watching the football match, Chi Shengxi deliberately used his cell phone to show him the comments, stabbing Lin Cheng's heart severely.
"Tsk tsk! News Agency Dance King! This nickname is quite domineering."
Lin Cheng curled his lips and whispered in Chi Shengxi's ear: "In general, I actually prefer the title of King Bao."
