There is a total of one stone in the LPL, and I have twelve buckets exclusively

Chapter 148 Chapter 146: S4 starts, the group stage is grouped

In the S3 season, in the early stage of the finals, Riot conducted an interview with EDG. In that interview, the EDG team answered very modestly.

Even in EDG, which already had the title of No. [-] in the world at that time, Lu Yiming's answers were relatively easy-going, without any demeaning words.

At that time, EDG's mid laner Lu Yiming was very popular in Korea and had a good reputation. Many Korean LOL players still liked Lu Yiming, the world's number one mid laner.

Although for a period of time, Lu Yiming's reputation was a little bit bad, but Korean fans did not turn fans into black fans, and frantically smeared Lu Yiming.

But after only one year, the EDG team changed.

The EDG team is now fully inflated, and every member of the team did not take the OGN competition area seriously during the interview. They looked down on the OGN competition area just like the LPL audience before the S3 All-Stars.

Especially Lu Yiming. During the 2013 All-Star Game, Lu Yiming repeatedly emphasized the need to pay attention to the teams in the OGN division. He also kept reminding the royal family to pay attention to the OGN teams in the S3 World Championship.

Now the EDG team directly looks down on the OGN team, or the EDG team only sees the LPL team in their eyes, and the other divisions are rubbish.

After the release of the short video of EDG's expedition, it aroused huge heated discussions in the LOL circles all over the world.

First of all, the first hot topic is EDG Fifteen Thrones.

The EDG 15th Throne short film gave the participating teams in other divisions a strong sense of oppression. The EDG[-] sitting on the throne are all top professional players in LOL. Each of them is full of confidence and looks at everyone with contempt .

Can someone overthrow the rule of EDG Fifteen Sons?
The teams participating in this year's S4 Finals all asked themselves in their hearts, and they didn't have an answer in their hearts. The EDG fifteen sons seemed to be three big mountains, pressing on their heads, making them breathless.

The [-]th throne of EDG put a lot of pressure on the participating teams in other divisions, and after they watched Lu Yiming's taunt in the back of the EDG short video, their mentality suddenly exploded.

The EDG team has never regarded them as opponents.

Regarding the remarks of the EDG team, the players in the European and American divisions are slightly better. The players in the European and American divisions who have experienced the triple jump of the LMQ Tianci team and the ADG team have already admitted that their own division is not good.

But the South Korean OGN competition area can't.

As we all know, Little Bangzi has always been a five (youtube) empire, a developed country in the world, which also makes the people of Great Cold Nether Kingdom very confident in themselves.

This point is vividly reflected in the world map of Daehan Mingguo.

As the world's top power, Daehan Mingguo naturally cannot accept that its country is looked down upon by a small China, especially in terms of e-sports.

Daehan Mingguo regards e-sports as one of their characteristic industries. When Korean e-sports began to train systematically, they were next door to Huaxia, and they regarded e-sports as an Internet addiction, and they wanted to send e-sports players to electrotherapy.

In an unequal environment, the Chinese LPL division looked down on the OGN division of Daehan Mingguo, and Lu Yiming said something that humiliated the OGN division, which made the teams and audience in the OGN division very angry.

And Lu Yiming, the world's No. [-] mid laner, had a bad reputation in the OGN division.

"Damn the EDG team, they look down on my OGN division so much. Why do they look down on my OGN division? Seeing that the ten three-star players in the OGN division will definitely kill the fifteen players in EDG this year!"

"In the past, I just thought that EDG was a strong team, and I had a little respect for EDG, but now it seems that EDG is a pure animal team. Xiba EDG, all of them will be cremated!"

"Axi, what are our teams doing? You've all been trampled on by the LPL. Xiba EDG doesn't have any spirit of sportsmanship. Such a team should be suspended!"

"Everyone, stop scolding. The EDG team is nothing more than a small country. We, the Republic of Korea, must have the attitude of a big country. Don't care about the EDG team from a small country!"

"Godfather? Priest? Pooh, what nonsense, calling him Father is almost the same. I declare that from now on, GodFather will be a professional player who will call him Father when he sees the OGN competition!"

"What is a father? It's called a beast. It's a beast. There is an old saying in the Great Han Republic of China that it is called a beast in clothes. GodFather is this kind of beast in clothes."

"Our Great Cold Republic was so humiliated by the LPL. If the OGN team can't beat the EDG team this year, I think the LOL e-sports project should be disbanded.

For our Great Cold Republic of China, the e-sports industry is a small industry that does not enter the mainstream, and the LOL e-sports project is an industry that is casually discarded.

Our Daehan Mingguo quit the LOL e-sports project, and the game of LOL will definitely die because of this.

LOL can't rely on a small Huaxia to make it more and more popular! "

"Actually, it's normal to not be able to win. China's future pillar is the LOL e-sports project, but the LOL e-sports event is not even ranked on the table in our country!"

"From today onwards, I will hold a knife in my hand, and when I see a CnDog and a fan named Beast, I will kill all of them with one knife!"

"The most disgusting professional player, a single beast in EDG!"

In the OGN competition area, most of the OGN audience raged against the EDG team and Lu Yiming in various LOL forums.

There are also some OGN rationalists who believe that if OGN still can’t beat LPL this year, OGN can actually consider giving up the game of LOL and turn to the embrace of Dota2.

Now the LOL e-sports project is already the pillar of Huaxia Future, and there is no need for the OGN competition area to head-to-head with the pillar of Huaxia Future.

As the start of the S4 World Championship is getting closer and closer, and with the release of the short video of the EDG team's expedition, the smell of gunpowder in the LOL e-sports circle is becoming more and more intense.

Especially in the two competition regions of LPL and OGN, it is common sense for audiences to scold each other across competition regions.

In the atmosphere of more and more scolding, the S4 global finals have begun!

"You said, will the fist make some small moves during the lottery?"

In the EDG conference hall, EDG15 members gathered in the EDG conference hall to watch Riot's group stage grouping ceremony on the big screen.

This year, Riot has canceled the privilege of directly entering the top 8 of the No. [-] seed team in each competition area. The participating teams in each competition area need to start from the group stage.

In the previous life, when the seeded teams played in the group stage of the S4 season, Riot also stipulated a principle of avoiding the group stage of the same competition area, but this year Riot does not have the rule of life.

This also means that during the group stage, the same division can be grouped together.

The 16 participating teams were divided into 4 groups. The venues for the two teams A and B were the National University Gymnasium in Taiwan Province, and the venue for the two teams C and D was the International Exhibition Center in Singapore.

The 16 teams are assigned by lottery. At the moment, Riot is performing a lottery ceremony on the big screen.

"Probably not. After all, the fist is not a lottery ticket. I don't think it's interesting to do such a small trick."

Lu Yiming reckoned that Riot wouldn't engage in this kind of thing. Riot had already revised the rules. If they continued to mess with the lottery, it would be too low-level.

"I always feel that the fist will not be so kind!"

Old thief Sima is a firm believer in conspiracy theories. He always feels that the fist will definitely make troubles in the lottery.

"I also feel that the fist may play tricks. The only thing that can stop us now is to group!"

Gao Dewei and the thief Sima had the same idea. Gao Dehu was sitting next to Lu Yiming, and when he saw the staff in charge of the group coming out from the screen, he felt unsteady:
"It's started, it's started, the grouping will start soon, I hope the EDG15 don't fight each other in the group stage!"

In the picture, the four staff members of Riot all walked in with a wooden tray.

There were four identical black balls on the wooden tray. After the staff put the balls on the table, the fist staff responsible for drawing lots walked up with a huge glass box.

"Please observe, the glass box is just an ordinary glass box, and there is no so-called hidden compartment."

The Riot staff put the glass box down and showed it to the camera. The camera immediately took a close-up of the glass box. Inside the glass box was an empty glass box. The internal situation could be clearly seen from the outside, and the entrance of the glass box could also be seen clearly. to see outside.

After showing the glass box to all the spectators watching the lottery, the Riot staff straightened the glass box. He put sixteen black balls in the glass box and reached in for stirring.

The transparent glass box allows any operation to be seen. Sixteen black balls are constantly rolling in the glass box, and there is no sticking or adsorption.

In order to prove its fairness, Riot also specially arranged an upper camera position. This upper camera position can clearly see the inside of the glass box from the upper entrance position. In a real sense, it ensures that no black balls will be used by the Riot staff. Hold it in your hand and never lose it.

After showing that the lottery is absolutely fair, the fist staff began to take out the small balls, opened them, and then took out a note representing the participating teams one by one, and held them up to show everyone.

On the front of this note is the team name and benchmark of each participating team, and on the back is the LOGO of Riot Games.

After the display, the Riot staff folded the note in half to cover the front and reveal the Riot company LOGO on the back.

Immediately afterwards, the fist staff stuffed the note into the black ball, and threw the ball into the glass box.

Put all the black balls representing the sixteen teams in the glass box, and the Riot staff put their hands in the glass box and began to stir left and right.

After stirring for about 30 seconds, the fist staff opened their hands and put them in the glass box, and used the movement of hugging to hug the black ball in the glass box.

After dozens of hugs, the Riot staff stopped what they were doing and nodded to the camera.

"I apologize to Riot. It's fair for Riot to do this. At least everyone can see the operation clearly." Old thief Sima apologized to Riot. Riot seems to really want to show the fairness of its lottery this time.

During the S series finals last year, Riot never did this.

"If the lottery is doing this, I still firmly believe that the lottery is unfair and a means of showing off."

"But there should be no problem with the fist doing this."

Lu Yiming grinned. His uncle likes to buy lottery tickets, but his uncle doesn't play very much. He buys about a thousand dollars a year.

Lu Yiming remembers very clearly that his uncle almost won the jackpot when he bought a lottery ticket in 14. In his previous life, his uncle showed him this incident, saying that if two digits on his number were replaced with 8, he could win 500 million jackpot.

Lu Yiming didn't believe in winning the lottery. Someone in his previous life said that the lottery is not probability, but statistics.

It was a rare rebirth, and Uncle Lu Yiming had the habit of recording his lottery numbers when he bought lottery tickets. Lu Yiming asked his uncle for his lottery numbers. After changing the lottery numbers, he bought dozens of bets to test the waters.

The results are obvious.

It is impossible for a reborn person to buy lottery tickets as their first pot of gold. You can't grasp the lottery at all.

Spinach like football is still possible.

"Brother Lu has said so, so there is probably no problem."

Gao Dehu's Sichuan drama changed his face, and he immediately matched Lu Yiming's words.

Under the watchful eyes of audiences all over the world, the draw for the group stage of the S4 finals began.

The first team drawn by the Riot staff was the Dark Passage team from the wild card division. The DP team was assigned to Group A and became a member of Group A.

Immediately afterwards, the second team to be drawn was LMQ Tianci. Seeing the LPL division (crossed out) and the third seed being drawn in the North American LCS division, everyone in EDG couldn't help but glance at each other.

"LMQ is in Group B!"

"Yes, the first LPL team group appears!"

Immediately afterwards, the Riot staff drew a black ball again. When they opened the black ball, cheers erupted from the scene.

"Edward Gaming!"

The Riot staff read out the third drawn team, and the LPL audience suddenly exclaimed.

"Fuck, group C, damn group C is the death group, EDE and ADG must not be drawn into group C!"

"The group EDG is in is definitely a death group!"

Seeing EDG in Group C, many teams' hearts were raised. They kept praying that they should never be assigned to the same group as EDG.

The fist staff was not affected, he stretched out his hand again and unfolded the note.

"Wuhu, oh yeah!!!"

"Oh oh oh my Ooh!"

The moment the note was announced, Gao Dehu, who was sitting next to Lu Yiming, jumped up from his chair and cheered to celebrate. The fourth one to be drawn was the ADG team, which also meant that they avoided the EDG team and were assigned to the D team. Group!
Gao Dehu, who was extremely excited, laughed and jumped up. Seeing that Lu Yiming was not smiling, he immediately stopped the expression on his face, and kept looking at Lu Yiming's expression.

A few seconds later, the corners of Lu Yiming's mouth rose slightly: "There are four draws, and the LPL will directly win three. The probability is a bit high!"

"Isn't that nonsense? There are five teams in the LPL, and the probability of winning the lottery should be high." Ming Kai rolled his eyes. From the perspective of probability, the probability of being drawn in the LPL is the greatest.

"Yes, hahaha!"

Lu Yiming laughed, Gao Dehu also laughed loudly when he saw this, and kept patting his legs happily.

The ADG team and the EDG team are staggered, and their ADG team will have the opportunity to enter the quarterfinals.

As long as it is not the top sixteen, it is a success for the ADG team!

The group stage continued, and in the 6th draw, the fist staff drew SSB.

OGN, Samsung Base, and SSB were relieved when they saw that they were assigned to Group B. If they didn't meet EDG in the group stage, they would have no problem advancing.

"Oh, the second team met the ADG team!"

"The second team is in Group D. This grouping is really good. We all missed the EDG team."

Seeing that the SSW team just missed Group C and was assigned to Group D, the faces of the Samsung Tens were full of smiles. Although there was ADG in Group D, the three teams of EDG were not worth mentioning!
The SSW team did not pay attention to the ADG team, their goal was the ten sons of EDG, not the ADG team that was sent abroad!

"The OMG team is in Group A. It's a good grouping. Group A is currently a garbage team. There is no problem for the OMG team to advance."

"Damn it, is the second team so lucky? It just missed the BCD and was assigned to Group A by the last one. The second team, you are going to advance side by side with the OMG team!"

Seeing that the EDE team just missed a round and was assigned to Group A, Old Thief Sima felt that the second team was really lucky.

The 4 teams in Group A have been released. This is a recognized pick-up group. It is no problem for the second team to join hands with the OMG team.

"Luck is indeed very good, the top 8 will definitely be no problem!"

"It should be said that our luck is very good, the strong teams did not get together!"

"We were lucky, and the OGN division was also lucky. The three teams were also separated. It feels like the OGN division is about to enter the quarterfinals."

All EDG members feel that the luck of the OGN division is also against the sky. It is estimated that the teams in the OGN division have also absorbed the luck of their men's football. Their football superstar Sun Xingmin may not play very well in the future.

The group stage of the S4 division is over.

Group A teams: the DP team in the wild card division, the TPA team in the provincial team division, the OMG team in the LPL division, and the EDE team in the LPL division.

Group A is recognized as a recommended group. The teams from the two LPL divisions, OMG and EDE, should be able to join forces to advance.

And what makes the OMG team comfortable is that according to the principle of group avoidance, they will not encounter the EDE team in the top 8.

Group B teams: LMQ Tianci from the North American Division, SSB from the OGN Division, KM from the Wild Card Division, and C9 from the North American Division.

Group C teams: EDG team in the LPL division, FNC team in the European division, AHQ team in the provincial team division, and NJW team in the OGN division.

Group D teams: ADG team in the North American Division, SSW team in the OGN Division, Alliance team in the European Division, and TSM team in the North American Division.

The audience in the LPL competition area and the audience in the OGN competition area are very satisfied with this group.

In this grouping, the strong teams participating in the S4 season did not meet in the group stage. Looking at the 4 groups, the qualifying teams in Group A have the least differences. The goal of the wild card DP team and the provincial team TPA is to enjoy the game .

In Group B, there is basically no problem for SSB to qualify, and the other one to qualify is basically C9.

After all, the LMQ team was defeated by C9 in the playoffs.

The teams in Group C are called the Group of Death.

There is no problem for Group C team EDG to qualify. The other one depends on who is stronger, FNC or NJW.

As for Group D, in fact, this group is the real death group, and every team in the group is a very powerful team.

ADG team, the No. [-] seed in Europe.

The SSW team, the second seed in the OGN division.

Alliance team, the second seed in Europe.

TSM team, the No. [-] seed in North America!
Two No. [-] seeds and two No. [-] seeds, it's hard to say who will qualify.

Group D, the true death group of the S4 season, the group stage of this group will be the best group stage of the entire S4!
