LOL: I've already been transferred to the manager, but you just came to the system

Chapter 196 Coaches List!
Time flies in this kind of life where everyone is actively preparing for battle.

The 2017 League of Legends World Championship is getting closer.

During this period, all major competition areas entered the off-season, which made LOL viewers who like to watch the game feel uncomfortable for a while.

Therefore, everyone pays close attention to the news about the S7 finals that circulates on the Internet from time to time.

In the last second, you might be discussing enthusiastically about a player from a world championship team breaking into the top few on the Korean server, and in the next second, the same old topic about TSM being invincible again in the training match is once again on the hot search.

Everyone knows that TSM is a concept god of scrimmages that always lags behind when it comes to the main competition, but they just love to have fun and always give everyone something new to do every year.

"TSM defeated LZ 3-0 in the scrim, saying this is the end of the LCK championship?"

"Big Brother said that as the No. 1 seed, it is obvious that WE is a bit overrated."

“Oh, TSM is looking forward to meeting TES in the World Championship, of course, provided they can get past the play-in stage.”

"TES is just like a little chicken, with a winning rate of less than 30% against my e-sports cult."

Lin Shuyang did not stop the contestants from browsing the above online comments.

Inside the TES base.

Watching the interviews of the TSM team by those e-sports editors, the people in the training room who had just had a short break all had the question mark looks on their faces like those old men on the subway.

"No, there's something wrong with TSM, right?"

"Which professional team plays seriously in training matches? It's ok to use tactics, but there are also such playing methods as strong attacks in the first level group." Daan expressed his incomprehension.

"After all, they are an e-sports cult. They probably want to defeat us in the training match, and then they will have a corresponding advantage in the main match..."

“But they are eliminated in the group stage every year!”

No one can remember the top 16 unless they are in the top 16 every year. This sentence is for Doublelift and TSM.

"But there are a lot of new faces in the world's participating teams this year."

While discussing the daily bragging posts about TSM’s training matches online, able also started paying attention to the participating teams in this year’s World Championship.

Garlic Turtle fiddled with his phone and said, "This year, the old and strong team CLG in the North American region was pressed back to their hometown, and IMT took their place."

"The European division also has a new MSF team, who just joined EU this year and made it to the World Championship just like us."

"But I didn't expect JT to be eliminated." GimGoon discussed the opponents encountered by the LPL region in the Intercontinental Championship.

In the LMS region, except for the two world evergreens, the number one seed Flash Wolves and the number two seed AHQ, the number three seed was not JT, but was snatched away by HKA. The LMS region, which had been hyped as the strongest team on the planet for a whole year, was rejected by the World Championship, which shattered many glasses.

"That's normal. In the LMS Spring Season, JT lost to AHQ in the playoffs and only got third place. In the Summer Season, they only got fourth place. According to the points rules of the LMS region, such results did not earn enough points to directly qualify for the World Championship."

"Then, we were given a long break in the first round of the bubble match by HKA with a score of 694 to ." added information.

"Does this count as a capsize in the gutter?"

"Yes, it definitely counts."

At this point, everyone shuddered involuntarily, associating JT's experience with their own experiences. They didn't want to experience a complete failure in the qualifying round.

"The drawing ceremony will begin soon!"

694 greeted everyone and then took a seat next to Lin Shuyang who was already sitting on the sofa in the training room.

The other people found their seats and crowded in front of the big screen. Although they could also follow the results in time in front of their own computers, it still felt more real to watch it together at this time.

The live broadcast room screen lit up, and after a brief opening statement from the host, the grouping rules for the qualifying round were introduced.

There are a total of twelve teams in the qualifying round. The twelve teams are randomly divided into four groups. Three teams in each group will play a BO1 double round-robin system. Then the top two teams in each group can proceed to the second round, which is a BO5 knockout round.

It is worth noting that in the second round of the qualifying round, the BO5 knockout match is decided in one round, the winner advances to the group stage and the loser goes home directly.

The standard for positioning is also very simple, that is, the first player plays against the second player in a different group.

Of course, in the first round of grouping, Riot set up a No. 1 seed pool, which separated the No. 3 seed teams from the four major regions to ensure that they would not be assigned to the same group. At this moment, on the big screen, it was the image of their TES team logo and the logos of the other three teams being put into the No. 1 seed pool.

HKA from the LMS region, FNC from LCS.EU, and the light of North America C9!

【After watching it all, I feel like the play-in rounds are full of rubbish. It doesn't matter which group TES is in. 】

[Don't get too cocky, BO1 is easy to fail, LCK forgot how we won the Intercontinental Championship. ]

[I believe you when you say other teams will become arrogant, but I don’t believe that TES, coached by the leader, will become arrogant at all. ]

[Hehehe, only this year's LPL division is so powerful, otherwise TES would not have been able to get the third seed with this performance. ]

[Shouldn’t EDG and OMG be the most pitiful ones? They just won honors for their region in the Intercontinental Championship, but ended up not even making it to the World Championship. ]

[Hehehe, brothers, the tickets have been bought, let's go to watch TES kill everyone in the qualifying round. ]

On the screen of the official broadcast of the draw ceremony, comments were flying all over the place.

Three large glass containers were placed on a semicircular booth on site, and soon, the guest in charge of drawing lots appeared on the scene.

[I was surprised that the person who came to draw lots today was AJ, is he so impressive? ]

[Is it possible that this year's World Championship is held in our region, so the draw guests are basically players from the LPL region...]

【That makes sense.】

AJ walked to the front of the stage, and the white shirt he took out from somewhere barely managed to maintain a sense of formality.

The chubby face gave the camera a silly smile, and AJ followed with a solemn expression as he flipped the ball in the glass.

After swaying back and forth for three or four seconds, AJ picked out one that he liked, then opened the ball and took out the ribbon with the team logo printed on it.

"I knock, am I so lucky?"

AJ grinned and raised his hands.

The barrage in the live broadcast room was empty, and countless viewers' eyes were immediately focused on the ribbon in AJ's hand.

The word TES was clearly printed on the ribbon.

"I knock, we are the first one!"

"AJ is fierce."

Inside the TES base, everyone felt relieved.

It’s not that I’m worried about the grouping or anything, but it’s about my opponents. I’m always looking forward to it.

Now that the first one has been drawn, there is no need to wait anxiously.

Soon, the groups for the qualifying round were finalized.

Group A: TES, LYN, GMB!

Group B: C9, ONE, DW!

Group C: FNC, YG, KLG!

Group D: FB, HKA, RPG!

Lin Shuyang raised his eyebrows and almost had a stress reaction when he saw the name of the team in Group A.

Fortunately, GMB is not GAM, otherwise he would really doubt whether this team has some kind of bad fate with his own club.

Not many people paid attention to the grouping format of the qualifying round, and it did not cause much discussion. However, a list released by Riot right afterward did cause excitement among e-sports fans who were paying close attention to the finals.

"Oh my god, this year there are not only the top 20 players, but also a top 10 coaches ranking?"
