There is a total of one stone in the LPL mid lane, and I exclusively own twelve stones.

In the S3 season, in the early stage of the finals, Riot Games interviewed EDG. In that interview, the EDG team answered very modestly.

Even EDG's mid laner Lu Yiming, who was already ranked number one in the world at the time, gave very easy-going answers without any derogatory words.

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

Although Lu Yiming's reputation was a little bad for a period of time, Korean fans did not turn from fans to fans and went crazy to smear Lu Yiming.

But just one year later, the EDG team has changed.

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

Especially Lu Yiming. During the 2013 All-Star Game, Lu Yiming emphasized many times that he should 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 teams in the LPL, and the teams in other divisions are garbage.

After the release of EDG's expedition short film, it aroused huge heated discussion in the LOL circle around the world.

First of all, the first hot topic is the EDG fifteenth throne.

The short video of EDG's Fifteenth Throne gave the participating teams in other divisions a strong sense of oppression. The EDG15 sitting on the throne are all top professional players in LOL. Each of them is full of confidence and looks at everyone with contempt in their eyes. .

Can someone overthrow the rule of EDG's fifteenth son?

The teams participating in this year's S4 finals all asked themselves in their hearts, but they didn't have the answer in their hearts. EDG's fifteen sons seemed to be like three mountains, weighing on them, making them breathless.

EDG's fifteenth throne put a lot of pressure on teams from other divisions, and after they watched Lu Yiming's taunts at the end of the EDG short video, their mentality suddenly exploded.

The EDG team has never considered them as opponents.

Regarding the EDG team's comments, players in the European and American divisions are slightly better. Players in the European and American divisions who have experienced the triple jump of LMQ Tianci team and the triple jump of ADG team have long admitted that their divisions are not good.

But not in the Korean OGN division.

As we all know, Xiaobangzi has always been the Wuchang Empire, a developed country in the world, which has led to the people of the Great Cold Kingdom to be very confident in themselves.

This is clearly reflected on the world map of the Korean Underworld.

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

The country of Korea regards e-sports as one of its characteristic industries. When Korean e-sports began systematic training, China, which is next door to them, considered e-sports to be Internet addiction and wanted to send e-sports players to electrotherapy.

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

And Lu Yiming, the world's number one mid laner, has a bad reputation in the OGN division.

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

"In the past, I just thought that EDG was a strong team and I had some respect for EDG. But now it seems that EDG is just a pure beast team. Xiba EDG has all been sent to the crematorium!"

"Axi, what do our teams do for a living? You are all stepped on by the LPL. Xiba EDG has no sportsmanship and competitive spirit. Such a team should be banned!"

"Everyone, please stop scolding. The EDG team is just a showdown from a small country. We, the Republic of Korea, must have the bearing of a big country and don't argue with the EDG team from a small country!"

"Godfather? Father? Bah, what kind of bullshit is this? Calling me father is just fine. I declare that GodFather will be a professional player who will call him father from now on. When he sees the OGN competition, he will call him daddy!"

"What is father? It's called a beast. It's a beast. There's an old saying in our country, the Great Cold Republic, that it's called a beast in clothes. GodFather is just such a beast in clothes."

"We, the Republic of China, have been so humiliated by the LPL. If the OGN team cannot defeat the EDG team this year, I think the LOL e-sports project should be disbanded.

The e-sports industry is a small and unpopular industry for us in the Great Cold Republic, and LOL e-sports projects are an industry that is easily discarded.

Our country, Korea, has withdrawn from the LOL e-sports project, and the game LOL will definitely die because of this.

LOL can't rely on a small China to become more and more popular! "

"Actually, it's normal that we can't beat it. The future pillar of China is LOL e-sports, but LOL e-sports is not even on the table in our country!"

"From today on, I will hold a knife in my hand. If I see a CnDog or a fan who calls me a beast, I will kill them all with one knife!"

"The most disgusting professional player, EDG mid lane beast!"

In the OGN division, most of the OGN viewers were furiously criticizing the EDG team and Lu Yiming in major LOL forums.

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

Now that the LOL e-sports project is the pillar of China's future, there is no need for the OGN division to compete head-on with the pillar of China's future.

As the start time of the S4 World Championship gets closer and closer, and with the release of the EDG team's short video, the atmosphere in the LOL e-sports circle is getting stronger and stronger.

Especially in the two competition regions of LPL and OGN, it is common knowledge for viewers to yell at each other across regions.

In an atmosphere where the scolding became more intense, the S4 Global Finals began!

"Do you think Riot will make any small moves during the lottery?"

EDG Conference Hall, EDG15 members gathered in the EDG Conference Hall to watch the fist group stage grouping ceremony on the big screen.

This year Riot has canceled the privilege of the first seeded team in each division to directly enter the top 8. The participating teams in each division need to start from the group stage qualifying round.

In order to avoid civil war in the division, Riot also stipulated an avoidance principle for group matches in the same division.

There are 16 participating teams, divided into 4 groups in total. Groups A and B will compete at the National University Gymnasium in Taiwan, while groups C and D will compete at the International Exhibition Center in Singapore.

The allocation of the 16 team groups is carried out by drawing lots. At this moment, Riot Games is conducting a drawing ceremony on the big screen.

"Probably not. After all, fists are not lottery tickets. I don't think it's interesting to do this little trick."

Lu Yiming estimated that Riot Games would not engage in such a thing. Riot Games and the others had already modified the rules. If they continued to manipulate the lottery, it would be too low-level.

"I always felt that Fist wouldn't be so kind!"

The old thief Sima is a firm believer in conspiracy theories. He always feels that Riot will definitely cause trouble in the lottery.

"I also feel that the fists may try something. The only thing that can stop us now is grouping up!"

Gao Dewei and the old thief Sima had the same idea. Gao Dehu was sitting next to Lu Yiming. When he saw the Riot staff in charge of grouping coming out of the screen, he felt unsteady:

"It's started, it's started, the grouping will start soon. I hope EDG15 won't fight each other in the group stage!"

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

There were four identical black balls on the wooden plate. After the staff placed the balls on the table, the Riot staff responsible for drawing lots walked up carrying a huge glass box.

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

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 conditions could be clearly seen from the outside, and the entrance to the glass box could also be clearly seen. of seeing outside.

After showing the glass box to all the spectators watching the draw, the Riot staff straightened the glass box. He placed sixteen black balls in the glass box and put his hand in to stir.

The transparent glass box allows you to see any operation. The sixteen black balls are constantly rolling in the glass box without being stuck or adsorbed.

In order to prove its fairness, Riot also specially arranged a boarding position. This boarding position can clearly see the inside of the glass box from the entrance position above, which truly ensures that no black balls will be used by Riot staff. Hold on to it and never lose it.

After demonstrating that the draw was absolutely fair, the Riot staff began to take out small balls, opened them, and then took out slips of paper representing the participating teams and raised them up to show everyone.

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

After the display, Riot staff folded the note inward, covering the front and revealing the Riot company LOGO on the back.

Immediately afterwards, the Riot 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 started stirring from side to side.

After stirring for about thirty seconds, the Riot staff opened their hands and placed them in the glass box. They used hugging movements to hug the small 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." The old thief Sima apologized to Riot. This time Riot seems to really want to show the fairness of its draw.

Riot Games never did this during the S Series Finals last year.

"If the lottery does this, I still firmly believe that the lottery is unfair and just a showmanship."

"But if the fist does this, there should be no problem."

Lu Yiming grinned. His uncle liked to buy lottery tickets, but he didn't play much. He bought about a thousand dollars a year.

Lu Yiming remembers very clearly that his uncle almost won the jackpot when he bought lottery tickets in 2014. In his previous life, his uncle showed off this to him, saying that if he replaced two digits in his number with 8, he could win 5 million. Grand prize.

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

It's rare to be reborn, and Lu Yiming's uncle has the habit of recording his own lottery numbers when buying lottery tickets. Lu Yiming asked his uncle's lottery numbers, changed the lottery numbers, and bought dozens of lottery tickets to test the water.

The results are clear.

It is impossible for a reborn person to buy lottery tickets as his first pot of gold. You have no control over lottery tickets.

But for spinach like football, it is still possible.

"Brother Lu said so, so there's probably no problem."

Gao Dehu's change of face in Sichuan Opera immediately matched Lu Yiming's words.

Under the watchful eye of audiences around the world, the draw for the S4 finals group stage began.

The first team Riot staff drew 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 the LMQ Tianci team. Seeing the LPL division (crossed out) and the third seed in the North American LCS division being drawn, everyone in EDG couldn't help but look at each other.

"LMQ is in Group B!"

"Okay, the first LPL team group appears!"

Immediately afterwards, the Riot staff pulled out a black ball again. When they opened the black ball, the scene actually broke out into cheers.

"EDward Gaming!"

Riot staff read out the third team to be drawn, and the LPL audience immediately exclaimed.

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

"EDG's team is definitely a death team!"

Seeing EDG in Group C, many teams' hearts were lifted. They kept praying that they would not be assigned to the same group as EDG.

The Riot staff was not affected. He reached out again and unfolded the note.

"Wuhu, Oye!!!!"

"Oh oh oh oh my darling!"

The moment the note was announced, Gao Dehu, who was sitting next to Lu Yiming, jumped up from his chair and cheered in celebration. The fourth team drawn was the ADG team, which also meant that they avoided the EDG team and were assigned to D Group!

After the extremely excited Gao Dehu jumped up with a smile, he saw 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 raised slightly: "Out of four draws, LPL won three directly. This probability is a bit high!"

"Isn't this nonsense? There are five teams in the LPL, so the probability of winning the lottery should be high." Mingkai rolled his eyes. From a probability perspective, the LPL has the highest probability of being selected.

"Yes, hahaha!"

Lu Yiming laughed loudly. When Gao Dehu saw this, he also laughed loudly and kept slapping his legs with joy.

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

As long as it is not in the top 16, it is a success for the ADG team!

The group stage continued, and in the sixth draw, Riot staff drew SSB.

OGN, Samsung Base, SSB team saw that they were assigned to Group A, and they were relieved. If they didn't meet the EDG team in the group stage, there would be no big problem for them to advance.

"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, Samsung Tenzi's face was full of smiles. Although there is an ADG team in Group D, the three EDG teams are not worth mentioning!

The SSW team did not take the ADG team seriously. Their goal was the EDG tenth son, not the ADG team that was sent abroad!

"OMG team is in Group A. OMG team has to compete with SSB team in the group stage. Can they advance?"

"Damn it, we are unlucky. The EDE team has also been assigned to Group A. Fortunately, we have the principle of avoiding competition areas and have been postponed to Group B."

"I said before that the draw was unlucky, but now it looks pretty good. The strong teams in the group stage are not clustered together."

"We are very lucky, and the OGN region is also very lucky. I feel like all the OGN regions are going to enter the quarterfinals."

All members of EDG feel that the luck in the OGN division is also incredible. It is estimated that the teams in the OGN division have also sucked the luck of their men's football team. Their football superstar Son Heung-min may not play well in the future.

The S4 division group stage has ended.

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

Group A is a recognized promotion group, and OMG and SSB teams should be able to advance together.

Group B teams: LMQ Tianci team in the North American division, EDE team in the LPL division, KM team in the wild card division, and C9 team in 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 in the North American division, SSW in the OGN division, Alliance in the European division, and TSM in the North American division.

Audiences in the LPL and OGN regions are very satisfied with this grouping.

In this grouping, none of the strong teams participating in the S4 season have met in the group stage. Looking at the four groups, the qualifying teams in Group A are the most consistent. The goal of the wild card DP team and the provincial team TPA is to enjoy the game. .

In Group B, EDE's qualifying is basically not a big problem, and the other one qualifying is basically C9.

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

Group C team is called the group of death.

There is no problem for EDG, the Group C team, to qualify. The other thing 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 number one seed in Europe.

SSW team, the second seed in the OGN division.

Team Alliance, the second seed in Europe.

TSM team, the number one seed in North America!

There are two No. 1 seeds and two No. 2 seeds. It’s hard to say who will qualify.

Group D, the real death group of the S4 season, the group stage of this group will be the most exciting group stage in the entire S4!
