Chapter 452 Keeping the Clouds and Seeing the Moonlight

MSI's first round group stage draw adopted the same division avoidance principle.

The purpose of using this principle is to increase the enjoyment of the game. Otherwise, if two teams from the same division are assigned to the same group and the two sides face off, with the previous league results as a base, the audience will naturally have a certain degree of confidence in who can win. Predicting and being mentally prepared greatly reduces the unknown feeling of the game.

Simultaneously.

The teams in the same division have met countless times in internal leagues, so what’s the point of meeting them again in an international event like MSI?
  Only by playing against teams from other divisions can it be exciting and exciting to watch!

That night.

Although Emperor Star did not participate, Lu Zibo came.

He will serve as a draw guest in the first round and draw the team rosters of the three ABC groups from three draw pools.

Among the three draw pools, the first draw pool is for the first place in the five major competition areas, the second is for the second place, and the third is for the third place.

Lu Zibo drew in order, and teams in the same division will be automatically moved to the next group, and the final result will be obtained.

in the live room.

Pop-up screen.

"Draw a good lot!"

"Look at the hand of my god!"

"Get out of the way, let me come, my hands are red!"

Netizens did not take it too seriously to watch the excitement, and kept booing on their screens.

In the middle of the screen, Lu Zibo had a serious look on his face. He slowly reached into the lottery pool No. [-] and then slowly took out a piece of paper.

The air suddenly froze.

The camera remained motionless, and everyone's eyes were focused on that small piece of paper.

As Lu Zibo slowly unfolded the paper in his hand, the paper was completely opened and then turned upside down.

WE!

The first team in Group A appears.

The full name of Team WE quickly appeared in the first blank space behind Group A on the big screen.

Immediately afterwards, he walked to the No. [-] lottery pool and took out a piece of paper again - FW Flash Wolf!
  Then go to the third lottery pool-M5.

After finishing a round, go back to the draw pool No. [-] and start all over again until you draw the last one.

At this point, the group stage draw is over and the roster is officially released.

Group A: WE, FW, M5, TSM, KTB
  Group B: C9, TPA, LGD, FNC, MIG
  Group C: CLG, OMG, EG, SKT, AHQ
  "Wow, The and God are so lucky today. It's hard to say which group is the group of death. I feel that every group is very powerful, but all three domestic teams have hopes of advancing!"

"Yes, if you really want to count, I feel that Group B is more dangerous to us. After all, there are three No. [-] seeds in Group B, namely CP, TPA, FNC, and two No. [-] seeds, one of which is our division. LGD.”

"But to be honest, it's not very stressful, right?"

"After all, it's LGD. Just because its name is there, it doesn't necessarily mean that it can't beat the No. [-] seed in other regions. LGD definitely has the ability to win the championship this year!"

"That's right! When you watch it play WE in the playoffs, really, I was stunned by the finals, it was just a little bit close!"

"So I say LGD has hope of winning the championship. At least it will be no problem to get a qualifying spot in Group B."

"OMG is also very good at qualifying. Just be careful with CLG and EG. It's safe to finish in the top three."    "Isn't that what I mean, SKT has been ignored by you?"

"That's not to say that we are ignoring it. Just looking at South Korea, SKT is in average form this year. OMG is still very good at playing. As long as they can suppress Feike, there is no pressure on SKT now."

"It makes sense, and the group matches are all BO1. In this kind of single game, it's not impossible to come up with something new and knock you out in one go. I'm very hopeful!"

"It seems like all three domestic teams are expected to advance to the second round!"

There was a discussion at the commentator's desk, but in the end, I felt that relatively speaking, LGD had the worst luck among the three domestic teams, but it wasn't much worse. After all, where the team cards were ranked, LGD's strength was obvious to all, and it was just like that at best. !
  In short, the three teams have great hopes of qualifying.

After the group draw, according to the rules, the first game of MSI, the first game of the night - WE vs. Flash Wolves!
  The game starts now!
  in the stands.

Mo Yu held the phone and smiled happily.

"MSI is open, are you sure you can't come?"

Shang Xingyue on the other side of the screen was helpless: "Can you please restrain yourself? Your laughter is too obscene."

"Vulgar? How can I be vulgar? This is a smile full of love!" Mo Yu retorted plausibly.

"." Shang Xingyue was speechless: "Really, I didn't realize you were that naughty."

"This is not called skin!" Mo Yu said with a smile: "How about it? Are you coming or not?"

"It depends on the situation." Shang Xingyue shook his head and frowned: "The interview task is very heavy this month. If I want to go to Europe to interview the Premier League, I may have to wait until the end of the month."

"The end of the month is fine," Mo Yu said, "The end of the month is just the right time to watch the finals. Then come over and send a message and a special car will be sent to pick you up."

"Good~"

Shang Xingyue responded sweetly, and then said: "By the way, I have something to tell you. My dad's employer is also paying attention to this year's MSI."

"Have you sent someone here?" Mo Yu was suddenly startled and quickly returned to seriousness: "Is there an investigator?"

"It's hard to say." Shang Xingyue shook his head: "Listen to what my dad said. There shouldn't be any. I'm just checking online to see if the data can be maintained. If there is no problem, if the above judgment is passed, the Bureau of Statistics will announce it about next month. The news will be announced there, you can pay attention."

Mo Yu was instantly overjoyed when he heard this.

After such a long wait, we have finally reached the final stage, and we are just one step away from being selected for e-sports.

The current situation obviously depends on MSI's global attention. If it can still maintain the same popularity as S1 before, it doesn't matter even if it's a little bit behind. As long as it's not too far behind, then the selection is basically a certainty, no. Gotta run.

If it cannot be maintained and the data declines sharply, it will definitely be a waste of water.

However, he still has confidence in MSI.

GAG's current global registered user base continues to grow. It was still 3000 million at the beginning of the year, and now it has exceeded 4000 million. The growth trend is not weaker than LOL in the previous life, and may even be faster. Maybe it will catch up with LOL as soon as S2 is completed. 9-digit peak period.

Even so, the current number of 4000 million users has made GAG ​​the most valuable and popular online game in the eyes of global game manufacturers, and one of the hottest games in the eyes of every gamer.

When all the friends around you are GAG ​​players, it is difficult for a person not to play. Sooner or later, he will fall. This is one of the reasons why the number of GAG users can grow rapidly!

The more people play, the more obvious the trend will be, and it will continue to radiate outwards, and finally it will become an extremely huge number. You will be embarrassed if you don't play, and you will not fit in with the crowd!
  Unfortunately, Shang Xingyue couldn't get involved in this matter after all, and many news were uncertain, so he couldn't get the exact information and could only wait silently.

But luckily.

Finally, the clouds cleared and the moon shined!
  "It's finally here!"

"You can help me find out more news in the imperial capital, and communicate with me as soon as possible if there is any trouble!"
