Before the start of S10, videos of the expedition ceremony where the four seed teams gathered together were circulating in various sections of the LPL.
On the stage in front of the screen with the "Indomitable" logo, the footprints of the LPL players who participated in S10 this time were left.
some fans joked.
It is said to be an expedition ceremony, but it is actually just a matter of going out and taking a bus.
Compared with the expedition ceremony itself, after the appearance of the four teams, IG, which did not participate, became the most popular in traffic.
TES: I am short of ad.
IG: Just got it and became the second seed
JDG: I am in need of a coach.
IG: I happened to take it away and became the third seed.
SN: I still lack ads.
IG: It just so happened that I still got it and became the fourth seed.
Snake: I don't need anything.
IG: I know, you are the No. 1 seed.
…
Therefore, Xiao Su is very popular these days, and her popularity is rising rapidly.
As the saying goes, Su Lang's clever plan was to bring peace to the world, losing Huanfeng and breaking ice.
These things broke out together and were whipped up. Even the Snake team members who were preparing for S10 at the base kept teasing them and became a source of daily jokes.
Most LPL viewers have only one wish: they hope that the four teams can keep the championship in China.
Fans are confident and trust the strength of these four teams.
Many enthusiastic spectators are counting the days until the S game starts.
In mid-September, teams from each major competition area set foot on Chinese soil one after another.
S10 is a journey full of ups and downs, and there are many strong opponents.
But just like the theme of S10: Go forward!
If you want to achieve glory in the 2020 World Championships, you must move forward and muster up courage to fight.
The first person in e-sports is here.
The powerful dynasty team stands at the top of the e-sports world.
For teams and players around the world, the moment they step into China and the LPL competition area, they have already begun an epic journey, this time an indomitable challenge!
"The champion, the glory, the strongest, they are all there!"
"If you want the treasure in the e-sports world, go get it!"
"..."
On September 12, Snake Team, Taobao and two major e-commerce teams arrived in Wuhan and started training in the training camp.
The 10.18 version of the World Championship was launched a week ago. In addition to the addition of the psionic agent skin to the Rift and the return of clone mode, more importantly, there are a large number of hero changes.
For example, as the most well-deserved shooter in the current professional arena, Ice Archer, this change will slightly freeze some of her power and weaken some of her basic attributes.
Another example is Sett, who can always knock on the door of the professional arena with his fists. Recently, he has been frequently used in jungle, mid lane, support and other tactics. Some teams have adapted to it, but he was directly cut off in 10.18.
Including the guardian being significantly reduced, etc., each team needs to re-weigh the issues.
The LPL teams have not been idle. Since the start of the training camp in Wuhan, they have played many training games with each other.
Because they are both LPL teams, apart from the team essence that is not spread out, they often sit together and communicate. When chatting over meals, they can occasionally mention version content and complain about some of the designer's changes.
With the arrival of 18 teams in Wuhan in addition to the four LPL teams, the content of our training matches has become even richer.
Teams from all over the world talk and communicate together, and the most professional analysts and coaches will come up with their own understandings in the next period of time, and then provide feedback to the World Championship based on the characteristics of the competition region.
At this time of year, players can always experience various surprises.
The game hasn't started yet, but the training matches are having fun.
For example, G2 made bold statements:
"We had two training matches with Snake on the 13th. Both sides won one game each. The situation was very balanced."
"G2 has grown to the level of a dynasty team. Just wait and see, we will surprise everyone!"
"Summoner's Cup? Of course LEC will take one."
The big brother of the TSM team in the North American Summer Championship shared an interesting thing:
"I met members of DWG during this year's MSI finals. They were watching Lee's game just like us. Maybe we all learned something and each became the summer champion. Isn't this a coincidence?"
He also posted a message saying:
"Snake is very powerful. Maybe no one wants to be in the same group as them, but I really want to!"
"I am eager to challenge the strongest team. This kind of S competition is interesting."
"Dear Li, I can't wait to play with you. Thank God, please ask the guests of the lottery ceremony to draw us together!"
Some fans complained after watching:
"Elder brother is too crazy, isn't it a fight with Brother Hao?"
"Don't worry, he just said hello to Brother Hao from a distance. If anyone in TSM dares to be disrespectful to Brother Hao, Captain Orangutan will shoot him directly. TSM's management is a die-hard fan of Brother Hao."
Emperor You understood laughed:
"Can't you see what Senior Brother is doing? TSM is the No. 1 seed, and Snake is also the No. 1 seed. How can they be in the same group in the group stage!"
"The truth is..."
"..."
Gossip information continues to spread from the training camp. For example, LCK's DWG and TES had a real fight. They collided fiercely in training matches, and no one let go.
For example, Longcha is so brave that they have won eight consecutive training matches and have an amazing record. All LPL teams have been defeated in front of them.
It seems to be a dark horse.
It was reported that Samsung and Snake were in a 50-50 draw in the training match. Their front office team announced that they would wipe away the shame of the past and overthrow the Snake team dynasty in this S10.
There is also the Brazilian tz team, which is similar to KBM on MSI. They are also crazy about star chasing and dare to disturb Snake's backstage.
It seems they succeeded, because mid laner Envy uploaded a photo of Intz and Li Hao on Twitter.
Brazilian e-sports player smiles happily.
The qualifying round has not yet started, and the Brazilian team has not completed its small goals, but its big goals have been achieved. They successfully took a photo with the idol of the competition, which will be one of the most precious treasures of their entire e-sports career.
This incident became a hot topic, and fans once again witnessed Shi Yizhong’s influence in other competition regions.
One summer passed, and the influence has obviously increased.
According to the emphasis of Intz shooter micaO, in the summer split of the CBlol division, almost all teams hope to meet Shi Yizhong in the world championship. And there is an anxious battle to compete for this precious opportunity. KBM in the mid-season split was too successful.
, Tuts, as the first crowned king in the division, his poor performance made him a big star in Samba eSports.
This makes everyone jealous.
We also have the strength to become an emperor!
…
The combination of true and false information was quite lively. At eight o'clock in the evening on September 15, everyone was waiting for an exciting moment.
S10 lottery ceremony.
First, the group draw for the finals, Riot Games invited the former WE e-sports club AD professional player Xiao Xiao.
The 10 qualifying teams will be divided into two groups.
SN was drawn into Group B by Smile.
What made the LPL viewers' eyes brighten was that Gao Xuecheng raised his hand and drew the V3 team into Group B.
Haha, this is Xiao Baga's team.
V3 has two Korean players in the jungle, but their overall strength is not comparable to that of SN.
V3 mid laner Ace, his name is a team-killing mid laner. This little Baga player with yellow hair and a mid-part is very good at playing, Nocturne, Enchantress, Zuo Yin, Wan Hao dares to play anything.
.
With the strength shown by SN, if he doesn't beat the shit out of Xiao Baga, he will be clean.
"Okay, smile is the hand that makes you smile!"
Flando, who was watching the lottery ceremony, said with emotion: "It's a pity that we can't make it to the playoffs. I also want to learn about the Little Days team."
As the Zhizhenhuazi team in the mouth of fans, not only Flandre, but everyone is eager to try the game with Xiao Baga.
Li Hao's voice came from the side:
"Don't worry, SN is taking care of your little life."
Someone else said:
"There is definitely no problem with the strength, but I am afraid that the richest man will manipulate it."
"Trading is also difficult, and there are too many differences overall. For example, Paz on the top lane used to be a jungler. On the top lane, he is a mid-career monk. He often engages in research and development. He also likes to play DPS. Soldier almost died laughing."
"..."
This is not bad at all.
At this moment, as the V3 sign was spread out with a smile, the SN team rejoiced and cheered loudly.
A Bing's hands almost sparkled from friction.
When we were playing in the small team, everyone was so excited, with bright red smiles on their faces, as if they had won a big prize in a lottery ticket.
The two coaches, Char Siu and Dian Huang, were overjoyed and kept applauding:
"Brothers, let's take the lead first!"
"In this game, everyone should be full of energy and play well!"
Dianhuang shouted: "To put it simply, do it to me until you die!"
Although Dian Huang was beaten by Shi Yizhong in the middle and was beaten to the point of running away, at this moment he was so powerful that he continued to inspire the players.
The outgoing and confident A Bing slapped the table, like a general, and said proudly:
"It's not a big deal, watch me kill Xiao Baga!"
"Let's see who kills more!"
"Let's see who kills the best!"
"Let's see who can kill art!"
"Hahaha...!
"
The SN uniform team is very happy. It is good to have such a game. It can gather the momentum of SN and get the support of the LPL audience.
From the playoffs to the group stage, you can also accumulate experience.
So, being the fourth seed is not necessarily a bad thing.
Group A: TL, MAD, LGC, SUP, ITZ
Group B: SN,PSG,V3,UOL,R7.
The qualifying groups are over and the main show begins.
Former RNG jungler MLXG and former Snake AD AD Crystal Brother were guests for the group stage draw.
Xiangguo, who appeared first, drew G2, DWG, TSM, and Snake in the first pool, and divided them into four groups ABCD.
Players from all major teams focused their attention on Brother Crystal. Gangzi, in a suit and leather suit, reached out and took out a small silver ball and showed it to the camera.
"It's us!"
"Group A is good."
Everyone in Taobo looked at Brother Crystal with smiles. It was a good draw to be in the same group as G2.
Second only to Group C, because TSM is undoubtedly the weakest No. 1 seed.
They are more restrained and smile indifferently. Maybe they have learned from the past. Back then, someone drew G2 and laughed straight away, and then the result was miserable.
The mood of the JDG players next door was relatively normal, because Brother Crystal defeated them in front of DWG in the second game.
The big turtle is in trouble right now.
The youth storm in the summer games is even more intense than in the past.
Xu Xiu's reputation as "Little TheKing" became even more famous. The nuclear king in the bottom lane left, DWG lost their undercover agent, and their combat power was surging. They have been getting along well over the summer.
Except for Dynasty Snake who dominates the first tier, DWG is definitely the top team in the second tier.
FNC was drawn into Group C, and the Acid Emperor felt light all over as he stared at the screen.
He is really afraid of going to Group D.
At that time, Shi Yizhen was beaten hard, and then he was severely educated.
Shi Yizhong's form this year is so terrible, and he is the No. 1 player on the list of the strongest players in the world. Sour King has no intention of asking for a fight.
C got the most perfect draw imaginable.
Next, Longcha was drawn into Group D, side by side with the Dynasty Snakes, in front of the crowd's attention.
Legend has it that Longcha killed everyone in the training match. He seems to be a dark horse and has the strength to challenge Dynasty Snake.
Can version 10.18 really bring such improvement to DRX?
The outside world is constantly speculating, watching the show with a smile.
The faces of the DRX generals in the training room were not good-looking, and they naturally felt bad after being drawn into the worst group.
Chaowei is the second mid laner in the LCK Youth Series, second only to Xu Xiu.
If Xu Xiu is a small TheKing, then Chaowei is a last-hit TheKing.
If there is a last-ditch effort in the World Championship, Chaowei will definitely stand tall and fight.
MCX from the Southeast Asia PCS Division came to Group A, RGE appeared in Group B, and Samsung appeared in Group C.
There is only one small silver ball left in Pool 2.
Fly, the lucky guy from North America, won the jackpot. In the photo, Brother Yegui, who showed his front teeth and grinned, can no longer smile.
“OH~~Faq~!
"
The Fly training match was full of laughter.
A:G2,TES,Mcx
B:DWG,JDG,RGE
D:Snake,DRX,FlY
According to the principle of avoiding the group stage in the same division, if SN can advance from the playoffs, they will definitely appear in Group C.
LPL viewers are very satisfied.
According to optimistic estimates, the four LPL teams have a high probability of advancing to the quarterfinals.
Then, LPL teams will occupy half of the top eight seats, which will be a historic achievement. Especially this time S10 will be held in China, it is really meaningful.
Some people are happy and some are sad, and time flies to September 25th.
In the Wuhan Sports Center, the qualifying round started on time.
Li Hao remembers that LGD was criticized as a Muggle because of its outrageous record in the qualifying stage. Among the five teams in the qualifying stage, LGD ranked fourth, only surpassing Xiao Baga.
Assuming that there is only a BO1 format in this round, LGD will definitely be eliminated, which will definitely be a shame for the LPL.
Maybe everyone will think of LGD from S5, they can always do outrageous things.
However, the more powerful and stable SN came to the finals and there was no more overturning.
After consecutively defeating PSG, R7 and UOL, SN played against V3 on the third day of the qualifying round, which was September 27.
SN, who won three consecutive victories, showed a more violent side.
In 29 minutes and 34 seconds of the game, SN defeated V3 27:0, creating the largest head difference in the qualifying rounds!
A Bing cut off 9 heads on the top lane, and the Sword Girl killed Paz's crocodile three times in a row.
Xiao Baga has no dragons and no defense towers. This is a super bald head!
The LPL audience in Wuhan clapped excitedly and gave SN a warm round of applause.
Cool!
If you let someone who doesn't exist, you will be beaten if you are weak!
A Bing, who dared to speak out, claimed after the game that he didn't have a good time, and the game ended when he was in high spirits.
It's like you just installed the Six Gods, and then the time was less than 30 minutes, and the opponent shot.
The LPL veterans are very pleased. This kid, Ah Bing, was quite reckless in the regular season, but he played well against Xiao Baga this time.
4-0, SN won the first place in Group B, did not need to play in the knockout rounds, and quickly advanced to Group C.
On September 30th, all qualifying rounds ended.
TL came to Group A, PSG entered Group B, and the last place in Group D was supplemented by UOL, the CIS LCL summer champion.
The Seleção walked out of the Wuhan stadium with regrets. Next, Intz could only become a spectator in the stands.
The qualifying round is just a small test.
The audience's passion has not dissipated because of the playoffs, including those eliminated in the wild card competition. The audience will continue to pay attention to the game.
For example, fans of Samba eSports, it is a pity to leave Intz, but they still have more content worth pursuing.
Next on October 3, the S10 group stage officially begins.
In the opening match, the Fly team from the North American division will face the LPL host No. 1 seed, the Dynasty Snakes team, headed by the strongest man in the e-sports world!
