Alliance: If you block my contract, I will just start!

As the group stage approaches, the competition for qualifying becomes more tense.

The three LPL teams that advanced were all in the same hotel. Not only these three teams, but JDG, which did not qualify for the World Championship, also came to Busan as a sparring team for the qualifying teams.

This is a tradition at every World Championship.

Although domestic fans attack each other online all day long, in fact, the LPL region is still very united.

During last year's World Championship, IG served as the sparring team, and with the addition of stronger players selected from other teams, if Shen Lang remembers correctly, EDG also served as the sparring team when it did not enter the World Championship in the future.

You have to know that this is purely voluntary labor. At most, food and accommodation are provided, and there is no salary at all. I will not be asked to share the championship trophy with me after I win.

Especially since this world championship is held in South Korea, professional players may not do anything out of line, at most they will just not play training games with you, but the quality of Korean netizens is worrying.

Shen Lang had been looking at the young lady by the window every day during this period. After looking at her for a long time, he felt that she was just so-so. He had originally wanted to go out and play, but Abu strictly forbade him.

As the top seed of LPL, EDG players are somewhat well-known on the Korean Internet. If they were wandering around the streets at this time and happened to meet fanatical fans of a certain LCK team, there was no telling what they would do.

Korean netizens are not like domestic fans. At most, they just attack each other online. They really dare to do it offline. Even if the probability is very small, for the current EDG, Shen Lang is the absolute pillar. Without Shen Lang, EDG may have a hard time in the group stage, let alone breaking through the quarterfinals. Abu is determined to nip all potential threats in the bud.

This time Abu's attitude was very firm, and Shen Lang didn't know what to say. He just played games in the hotel, and from time to time he would drink two bottles of beer and watch the young ladies coming and going through the window.

EDG players are already accustomed to his behavior, but players from other teams don't understand it.

Even the most lax clubs in the LPL would not allow players to drink during the game, and EDG is known for its strict management. Those who know it naturally understand that the manager condones Shen Lang's behavior because he has the ability. Those who don't know would think that Shen Lang has helped his boss Ed Zhu block a bullet.

The players from other teams didn’t understand and felt very aggrieved.

Drinking, looking at girls, playing sloppy and not training...

Such a bad player could actually beat them badly in the competition.

God cannot tolerate it!

However, only Shen Lang knew how hard he had worked.

He doesn't like drinking. Compared to the bitter beer, Shen Lang prefers Fat House Happy Water.

The reason why he started drinking recently is because he found that drinking is actually a bad behavior, and the rewards he gets are very tempting.

The system has a hidden attribute in its ability assessment of professional players:

Injury index.

Everyone has a different physique. Some people are weak and sickly, while others can feed a tiger with a slide tackle.

The higher the injury index, the more likely the players are to get occupational diseases.

Many bad living habits will affect the attributes of injuries, such as staying up late, drinking, catheters...

These behaviors will increase the player's injury index, but for Shen Lang, because he has a unique system, these behaviors will actually reduce his injury attributes, making him less susceptible to injuries.

For professional players, injuries are a big problem.

It is said that e-sports is a job for young people, but the reason why many professional players retire is not age, but physical reasons.

For example, General Pawn, Crystal who was defeated by Bo10, and Uzi who will retire due to diabetes in the future...

Shen Lang didn't want to retire early due to injury, so the system rewards for drinking were very tempting to him. Unfortunately, no one understood.

What he drank was not wine, but loneliness!

……

Time passed, and soon it was the group stage draw day.

The official attached great importance to the group stage draw and specially organized a draw ceremony, which was also broadcast live on the live broadcast platform.

Compared to the knockout stage draw, the group stage draw is obviously less stressful.

According to the official rules, the top seeds in the division will not be placed in the same group, and teams from the same division will not be placed in the same group.

For the top seed EDG, their opponents are the second and third seeds from other regions, so there is indeed not much pressure in the group stage.

Of course, only Shen Lang thinks so.

Before the draw ceremony, Coach Nofe and Abu were still very nervous. They were worried that Gen.G or AFS would be assigned to their group, which would undoubtedly make it much more difficult for EDG to advance to the knockout stage.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the drawing ceremony soon began.

The lottery guest took out a small white ball from the top seed prize pool, opened the note inside, and the first team in Group A soon appeared.

It's FW!

Seeing this result, many second and third seeds in each region suddenly became excited.

Among the top seeds in these regions, FW is the worst.

In fact, the overall strength of the LMS region is not high, and only the Flash Wolves are slightly good. At this time, there are news circulating on the Internet that the LMS region will be kicked out of the four major regions in the next season, and will compete with the wildcard regions for the qualification for the World Championship.

The top seed in Group B is EDG.

The top seed in Group C is KT.

The top seed in Group D is FNC.

The highlight comes next, and the lottery guests will draw teams from the zombie pool to be assigned to each group in turn.

First up is Group A, and the first team to be drawn is AFS.

When the note with AFS written on it was unfolded, cheers suddenly broke out from the audience at the lottery site.

The Korean audiences were very excited, and Group A was undoubtedly the easiest group.

The remaining two teams in Group A were soon announced, namely PVB and G2.

Next is Group B.

Everyone in EDG became nervous in an instant.

The lottery guest unfolded the paper, and after seeing it clearly, Abu immediately started wailing.

The most worried thing finally happened, Gen.G was placed in Group B.

"No, what are you afraid of? Is Gen.G very powerful?"

Shen Lang curled his lips.

If he remembered correctly, this year's Gen.G was really bad. They were eliminated directly in the group stage and were even ranked last in points, and they couldn't even beat VIT.

The remaining teams in Group B are C9 and VIT.

Next is Group C.

IG and RNG have not been drawn yet. According to the principle of avoiding the same division, one of their teams will definitely be placed in Group C to face KT, the favorite to win the World Championship.

The results came out quickly: TL, MAD and RNG.

Due to the appearance of Shen Lang, RNG became the third seed, and their grouping in the World Championship naturally changed. It is highly likely that they will not face their arch-rival G2 in the future. It is not known whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.

The remaining teams were naturally divided into Group D.

At this point, the list of teams for the group stage of this World Championship has been officially released.

Group A: FW, AFS, G2, PVB.

Group B: EDG, GEN.G, C9, VIT.

Group C: KT, RNG, TL, MAD.

Group D: FNC, IG, 100T, GRX.
