The draw ceremony for the Challenger Group of the WMO Major was officially held at the Wembley Stadium of WMO.
It was also announced that the Fog Major has kicked off.
The day's training has just ended. If he followed the previous arrangements, Mengde would take his teammates to the gym to exercise to ensure that they have enough energy.
But when the lottery started today, Meng De decided to let the team members relax for a while and watch the lottery ceremony together.
After all, for VC, this is also related to their future opponents.
In this major qualifier, the American Division has received a total of 6 places, which are evenly distributed, with 3 from North America and 3 from South America.
The Asian Division got two spots.
Due to planning, the CIS was also agreed to be assigned to the European Division.
They got the remaining 8 spots in the challenger group.
But what is really scary is if there is no specific division between Europe and the CIS.
So in today's European Division, there are eight teams in the Legend Group and eight teams in the Challenger Group.
Moreover, the strength of these eight European teams is still unprecedentedly strong. Except for a few teams whose strength fluctuates greatly, most people choose to put these European teams in the qualifying position.
This can already explain the current division of csgo in the world.
Europe monopolizes 90%, and the remaining 10% is divided between the Americas and Asia.
It has to be said that today's Asia and America do not seem to pose any threat to these European sharks.
This is why this year we deliberately conducted a draw before the start of the challenger group, although it is very embarrassing in a sense.
But this is an official measure to allow the weak team to stay for a while longer.
They are trying their best to avoid intra-regional friction between American teams and Asian teams.
I want the teams in the two divisions to stay in the major for longer.
However, they can only draw lots so that the teams from these two divisions will not be at odds in the first game.
But if the next two divisions don't hold up, there's nothing they can do.
"In the first game, we have the principle of protecting the competition area. We will not encounter snapping turtles." Meng De looked at the lottery screen on the TV and explained the rules to the players.
The VC team members sat on the sofa and were tense, even though a few members of the aka team said that day that their strength was average among the participating teams.
But they are not so confident.
Because even if their strength has stabilized recently, their winning rate against several North American teams is only about 60%.
They feel that their strength is at the bottom in this competition.
No matter who you beat, there is always pressure.
Therefore, everyone was a little nervous and stared at the TV.
This year, in order to increase the popularity, the officials specially called some very well-known retired players to come over during the draw.
One of them, Xigua recognized him:
"Isn't this Laoaka's lion? He was actually invited here!" Xigua was a little surprised.
After all, the Lions were a team from the same period as Ace. At that time, the Lions, as a sniper, suppressed all the players in the same period for three years.
Later, because his condition declined a bit and he lost his competitors, he retired.
But his influence is still very large.
As soon as his face appeared, the TV was instantly filled with dense barrage, which showed that the rhythm was average.
【Fuck, lion!!】
【Lion God!】
【My Superman, he is back!】
……..
There was no other way, Meng De could only turn off the barrage function, because these fans were so enthusiastic.
It has affected their normal viewing.
After the lion and the host chatted for a while, the lottery began.
He draws team by team.
It attracts VC's attention almost every time.
Fortunately, the strongest teams in the challenger group have been taken away one after another.
Snapping Turtles, who are from Asia as well as VC, are very unlucky. The first place in the challenger group this time was drawn with them.
I can only say that I was a bit unlucky.
The lion continues to take the sealed ball from the lottery box.
The next sign... I took a look at it, then crossed my hands and showed it to the camera.
bab!
It's the stick team that mocked them!
The VC people became excited instantly. They hoped that the lion would give them hope and let them have a try with this bab.
However, the next lot will come out soon.
A good partner for 5u and vc training matches from North America.
"Oh, I thought we could draw bab."
"Pity."
"The lion is not very lucky!"
The VC team felt a little pity. After all, the draw was almost over, and the probability of their two teams meeting was very high, but they still missed it.
"It's okay. As long as we fight hard, there will always be a chance." Meng De said, "It's never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."
He is not perfunctory to the players.
This competition is played according to the Swiss system.
Only they can win, and bab is really as strong as they say, so the two teams still have a chance to compete.
The lion on the TV was still drawing lots. He opened the sealed ball and suddenly smiled after seeing the team's easter egg.
There was also a look of memories on his face.
As if remembering that he was still live broadcasting, the lion calmly turned the egg over.
I saw the name of vc clearly above it.
He increased his speed and quickly pulled out VC's opponent.
“Rainbow horses from South America!”
"Nice!"
Xigua is extremely satisfied with this lottery result.
The strength of this team in South America is not high, and it is considered a weak team in the entire major challenger group.
"The lion is so lucky!" Xigua performed a Sichuan opera face-changing for Meng De on the spot.
Not only them, the audience in China who stayed up late to watch the draw were very excited.
[One thing to say, this is already one of the best draws in this challenger group! 】
[But don’t give in, everyone! Don’t have confidence in the little VCs, we will only be happy if we win!]
[Does anyone want to inform Coke and ask him to praise the rainbow horse?]
【He is already talking】
【I gonna go see】
….
Sixi Wanzi didn't sleep today. He played games all night, but everyone in the audience could see that this was not his intention.
Sure enough, when it came time for the major draw, he immediately shut down Doudizhu, not even caring about the 200,000 beans.
Soon, lots were drawn one by one, making him very nervous.
Finally, he saw the results of vc appeared, and he shouted excitedly in the live broadcast room.
The barrage made me happy.
[vc got a good draw, why are you so happy!]
[Don’t you feel like calling Coke and asking his grandma to come face to face? 】
It was originally just a joke from the barrage audience, but they didn't expect Sixi Wanzi to be taken seriously.
He immediately called Coke.
"Why are you calling so late?" the voice explaining Coke came from.
Fortunately, he was also watching the draw, otherwise if he was woken up by Sixi Wanzi at this time, he would have been killed at least.
"You start praising the rainbow horse now."
Cola:"???"
Is there something wrong with me or something wrong with you?
"I'm really not a poisonous bitch! Don't ruin my reputation!"
"hurry up!"
"I'm not that kind of person, I stand for..."
“A hot pot meal”
"How are you going to fight this vc? Rainbow Horse is already experienced, so vc is no match for him!"
"You ask VC to fight, can they fight?"
"It can't be beaten!"
The program effects in the live broadcast room are directly at full capacity.
Although it was quite funny, the audience was still very happy.
