Chapter 259 Set sail!The first game of the World Championship

[Group A: C9, T1, JDG]

[Group B: WBG, G2, DK]

[Group C: RGE, TES, GAM]

[Group D: GEN, CFO, 100T]

The complete lottery results are displayed on the big screen, and after the qualifying rounds are completed, four new teams will fill the gap.

As Yutong in the commentary box said, Group A with T1 and JD.com is destined to be a battle between dragons and tigers. It is not easy to grab the only ticket in their hands.

Group B, where WBG is located, is not at a disadvantage at all. It has two famous competition teams, DK and G2, and is itself one of the top teams in the world. Whoever is unlucky enough to enter this group will either die or be injured.

Compared to this, groups C and D are simply warm homes. The only two vacant positions are as good as hot cakes for the small wild card teams. Even if they cannot beat the first place, they can still strive for No. 2 qualifying.

The finalization of the grouping quickly caused an uproar in major forums!
Within a short time, the ratings and the number of popular posts on Kangba and Hupu doubled.

【Good sign!Why is it said to be a good sign?Listen to me in detail.]

[It’s unfair. Why does WBG have to fight G2 and DK again? The other groups have so little pressure. This draw is too bad!Is the No. [-] seed not a human being? 】

[JDG is not much better, sandwiched between T1 and C9. That is T1 in the World Championship. C9 is also the No. [-] seed in its own division. It is definitely not a problem to say that they have nothing in their hands. 】

[From the looks of it, Taobo is in the best position. It doesn’t matter if there is no Korean team. A little Vietnamese Karami hooks up with a European and American B. By then, won’t he be able to be first in the group casually? 】

【Hahaha!This Taobo fan is here to open the champagne in advance today. This is not a proper guarantee of eight and four!Wait for our revenge in the semi-finals! WBG! 】

Some are happy and some are sad, but most netizens are relatively optimistic about the results of this grouping. After all, the strength of the overall LPL teams this year has increased significantly, and they will not be weak even if they encounter a strong team in the LCK.

Fight for the championship and keep Asia!

After the lottery ceremony, the team leader had already prepared the relevant food and accommodation for the trip to the United States.

Although Riot officials said that they have arranged corresponding hotels for each team in advance, they made the arrangements regardless of a special disease. In order to prevent their players from uncomfortable situations, Mai Zijian is doing his best to do this. Try your best.

"This time I have applied with the above. We will charter a flight to New York about a week in advance. After arriving there, no one is allowed to go out. Everyone's room is independent, and someone will follow up on the equipment arrangements."

Mai Zijian walked back and forth in the room with his fingers pointed, and his brain was thinking quickly about what else he had missed.

After all, the team has learned from the past. Once you get sick, it is difficult to get up, let alone carry it to the game.

"Don't be so nervous. We can just be careful when the time comes. I even bought this specially."

With that said, Xiaohu quickly pulled his bag and rummaged through it.

Finally, he took out a dark green mask, with some LED lights flashing on the side, and the overall shape was quite cool.

"Which character do you want to cosplay in the game?"

Gu Chuan took it and took it in his hand, looking at it carefully, "This thing seems to be from Razer. When did you go to EDG next door to steal it?"

"What? I specially bought this online. It costs more than 1200!"

Xiaohu smiled and lay on the sofa with a big font, "There are two special air outlets on the side, with N95 level protection! And it can be reused, ensuring that you will be the most handsome boy in the world after wearing it!"

Hearing what he said was so amazing, other teammates quickly joined in.

"Did you buy any accessories?"

"What accessories?"

He turned his head and looked over in confusion.

I saw Liu Qingsong removing the two cylindrical pieces on the side of the mask, and two filters suddenly appeared inside.

"Oh? The filter of this thing needs to be replaced every 72 hours to achieve the protective effect." Weiwei, who was lying on the carpet and reading the manual, suddenly realized.

Isn't this still another kind of mask, but the thing is different, more similar to a gas mask.

"No way?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaohu quickly jumped up from the sofa, quickly took the manual, and after confirming it with his eyes wide open, he lay down next to Weiwei weakly.

Gu Chuan opened his phone and searched for it, "This filter element is now out of stock on the market. It seems you really need to go next door and ask Tianye if there are any extra ones."

"fine,"

Liu Qingsong patted his shoulder lightly, "At least you have recharged your IQ a little, so it's not a complete loss."

The duo in the bottom lane cooperated with each other to make up for it hard, causing Xiaohu's body to twitch slightly on the ground.

Cheng Lu was laughing beside her and couldn't stop laughing at all.

The S12 World Championship version is finalized as 12.18.
Compared with the LPL finals, it spans three minor versions.

This rapid update did not even keep up with the national server, which resulted in domestic players having no choice but to go to the Korean server to adapt.

Gu Chuan is naturally no exception,

Recently, he doesn't have time to live broadcast, but he is crazy about ranking various characters in the Korean server, and has put all three accounts in the top ten of the Korean server.

He won the highest level domestic championship as soon as he came on the scene, and suppressed ADC players all over the world with his terrifying laning ability at MSI. The glory he has won in the past six months has brought him countless praises.

The last person to appear in this way was the world champion Ah Shui, which also made the outside world have higher and higher expectations for Gu Chuan.

Others may feel optimistic because of this year's situation, but he has always been under a lot of pressure.

In the context of domestic involution, the environment in League of Legends has become more extreme.

When you succeed, you are faced with flowers and applause, but if one day failure comes, the cold public opinion on the Internet will make you think that you are even breathing wrong.

Gu Chuan, who has experienced a lot, naturally understands this deeply.

He can accept failure without fear,
But if some unimaginable mistakes occur during this journey, many regrets may follow you for the rest of your life until you retire.

For this reason, since Danni joined WBG, Gu Chuan has discussed many tactical methods with him.

Especially this S game.

What competes in the top arena is the foundation of both teams. If you want to stand out from the many powerful players, whether it is a rich tactical system or transcendent personal ability, both are indispensable.

But after coming to the World Championship every year, the LCK's advantages become more obvious. It has a more complete training and coaching system. They can quickly adapt to the new version and develop more different tactics.Looking back at the S-match schedule over the years, the overall playing style of the LPL will become more solid, and there will often be various upsets in the group stages.

That was because the training team was unprofessional and was very slow in adjusting tactics compared to other teams, resulting in some very low-level mistakes and strange BP.

A step ahead of others is a step ahead.

Gu Chuan didn't remember the details of the version very clearly, but he still remembered some things in terms of the general direction.

After entering the quarter-finals, when the LPL was still superstitious about various big-core ADs, using Aphelios and Zeli with various lineups to fight in small-scale team battles and late stages, the LCK, which was leading the concept, had already played various tricks. Road tool man combination.

ADs like Han Bing, Varus and Jhin, who had no late game and were barely practiced, regained control of the game.
The era where bot lane power is king is coming again, and it is even more important for various heroes to complement each other. The smooth operation rhythm makes it possible for heroes who have not been seen in the past to appear.

Gaps in the team can easily be magnified infinitely, while long boards can be difficult to use.

This also indirectly caused EDG and RNG, which did not have this type of system and had almost zero adjustment capabilities, to be swept out of the top eight.

Gu Chuanyou remember,
At that time, some people would explain to the LPL that it was because the players were in poor condition due to illness and lost the game.

But in his opinion, this reason can only be a humble speech after victory, not an excuse after failure.

Now, the same problem is also appearing in the WBG team.

In order not to follow in the footsteps of those teams, after a short break, the entire WBG team began to enter the intensive training process under the arrangements of Gu Chuan and Danni.

10 month 2 number.

The WBG group officially set off for New York, one day behind schedule.

But this is also a matter of helplessness. During this special period, the price of air tickets has soared dozens of times higher than usual. Especially direct flights from abroad to China are not only difficult to obtain but also expensive.

Fortunately, WBG executives are very satisfied with the team's results this year. They have a lot of money to book some business warehouses and choose expensive direct flights.

After more than ten hours of flight, everyone from WBG finally landed in New York, checked into the hotel and began to adjust.

Upon checking in, I was informed of their arrival,
Team Taobo next door also took the opportunity to come over and say hello. After all, when you go abroad, familiar compatriots need to look after each other more.

Just as the team leaders were greeting each other, Gu Chuan caught a glimpse of Yu Wenbo, who had particularly bright red hair, and the familiar scene seemed to come back to his memory.

In addition to fried lamb and beef noodles, there may be a new taboo after this year.

That is, don’t dye your hair before the World Championships.

On the other side, the qualifying rounds are gradually coming to an end.

The results did not change much from the previous life. No wild card team was spared. The team that finally got the group stage tickets was swept by all four major regions.

They are FNC in the European LEC division, DRX in the Korean LCK division, EG in the North American LCS division, and EDG in the LPL division.

EDG did not encounter many obstacles in the playoffs. With the top double C, they did not need too many tactical changes. They could easily carve out a way out of the flock just by relying on the effect of flying bricks.

But in the final battle, they were still slightly inferior to the DRX team and could only qualify in the No. 2 position.

This once again sounded the alarm in the hearts of many viewers.
It seems that the fourth seed in the LCK division is not as good as expected.

There were no big surprises in the next grouping,
According to the rule that teams in the same division cannot meet in the group stage, this almost locks EDG in Group D. The qualifying situation is relatively optimistic. After all, only one GEN looks relatively strong, and the others are ordinary characters.

Group B, where WBG is located, has the unlucky EG, which is destined to not be a pleasant event for them in this S12 schedule.

The next day, the entire group stage schedule was released.
Riot Games placed the match between EG and WBG on the day of the opening game, and reluctantly arranged it to be broadcast at [-] o'clock in the morning, allowing EG to fully play its role as a background board.

When the schedule was announced, the two competition areas began to greet each other cordially and organize activities.

Especially in the North American region,
A declaration of war poster was quickly posted on the EG team's Twitter.

There is only one actual photo in the poster, which is a piece of gray-white waste paper that has been folded and crumpled, but the audience can see it very clearly.

WBG's personal ID and match time are handwritten on it.

EG's AD player Danny even publicly shouted at Gu Chuan on the Internet.

In the next game, he will prove that the so-called world's number one ADC is just a false name, and avenge his elimination at MSI!
The melon-eaters on the Internet suddenly became energetic.

Such courageous behavior is rare in the history of League of Legends. Some netizens also promptly uncovered EG's ADC player information.

This fledgling AD led the team to turn the tide in the LCS Spring Split and finally won the championship. As a talented AD in the European Division, he was highly regarded.

Seeing that the domestic star-making plan was getting ready, he met Gu Chuan, who was also entering the competition for the first time during MSI.

Everyone knows what happened next, the big score of 3 to [-], the unilateral order in the bottom lane,
In the end, he was severely beaten from all aspects, which indirectly led to the team's subsequent trough.

Now, after half a year of hard work in the summer split, Danny finally led the team out of the competition again, and worked hard all the way to the group stage, only to encounter that nightmare opponent again.

Now he was even more jealous when he saw his enemy.

But in response to the clamor of these weaklings, the WBG official blog seemed very unmoved.
They didn't even send out pre-war posters, but continued to advertise their own brands, seemingly not receiving the message at all.

In this lively environment, time flew by and October 2022, 10 soon came.

The S12 opening ceremony was held in the early hours of the morning, which was not friendly to Asian audiences, and did not attract much attention.

It’s five o’clock in the morning BJ time,

The game started in Group A, and the European and American matches between C9 and FNC officially kicked off the group stage.

As soon as it was served, I had a meal for some night owls who stayed up late. I don’t know if it was a late night snack or a European and American feast for breakfast.

When facing FNC, C9 decisively showed off the sword queen in their hand, trying to order Ornn on the opposite side.

However, due to the huge gap between personal operation and proficiency, all kinds of funny scenes emerged one after another, and the performance of Sword Girl in the lane team was useless.

Even if the high-altitude senders often get lost in the mid-term and send kills, it is still difficult for the opposite C9 to reverse the huge team disadvantage.

At 32 minutes and 23 seconds, the blue square crystal exploded into fireworks.

The No. 16 seed in North America fell comically to the No. [-] seed in Europe, FNC. The players' stable and outstanding performance was completely unexpected before the game, and they were about to start the first leg of their journey home from the top [-].

As the game slowly progresses, the first game of Group B's top seed WBG is about to come.
