There was no direct flight from Seoul to Berlin. SKT had to fly to Frankfurt first, and then fly to Berlin through Frankfurt.
Due to the high speed of the internet, the entire team was able to watch the last two matches of the elimination round on the plane. Unsurprisingly, the third seeds of the four divisions all successfully broke through. Even HKA, who was looked down upon the most, successfully made it out of the elimination round.
After the elimination round, a simple drawing ceremony was held to determine the groups of the last four teams in the group stage.
The moment the drawing guest appeared, Li Xu was surprised. It was Mr. Bang, who had been eliminated early in the North American competition.
Due to Mr. Bang's poor performance, he had warned INS not to talk to him about the international competition. When he heard about the international competition, he was furious. Why was he so happy to draw the lot?
"Yo! Why is this guy here? "
Li Ge said, "I think Pei Junzhi is going to be a reporter."
"Tsk tsk! Now that he's retired, he has another option. "
It had to be said that the North American competition was too joyous. Thinking about it, Big Brother was able to go from the competition booth to the commentary booth, and Mr. Bang was able to go from a player to a reporter.
Due to the principle of avoiding the same competition, there were not many possible groupings. When Mr. Bang picked SPY in the first draw, the situation was set.
Due to the North American teams in Group A and Group D, CG could only go to Group C. Group A had Griffin, and DWG could only go to Group D. Therefore, the final groupings were as follows:
Group A: G2, GRF, C9, HKA.
Group B: FPX, JT, GAM, SPY.
Group C: SKT, FNC, RNG, CG.
Group D: TL, AHQ, IG, DWG.
Li Jiu chuckled when he saw Bang pull out the SPY.
"Wow! Brothers, it's time to beat up Huni. "
Guapi from the surrounding barbecue stared at Li Xu with a puzzled expression.
'These muggles haven't realized it yet, right?'
Li Xu looked at his teammates who were looking at him strangely. Suddenly, he felt a sense of superiority in terms of intelligence.
"Tsk tsk!"
Li Xu shook his head. "Let me analyze it for you. First of all, SPY went to Group B, so CG can only come to Group C, and …"
Li Ge interrupted, "You just found out?"
"What?" Li Xu was stunned.
Teddy looked at Li Xu with pity. "Didn't you realize that no matter how you draw, you can only come to Group C? As long as today's competition wasn't a surprise, CG would have been confirmed to come to Group C. How could you only know now? "
"Hmm? You all know about it? "
"What do you think?"
Li Xu rubbed his head with his fingers and gradually lowered his head, falling into an autistic state.
So the strange look in their eyes wasn't because they were amazed by Xu Ge's intelligence, but because they were looking at a fool?
Teddy comforted her, "Don't be sad. At least you'll know the result when Pei Junzhi picks one out. That means you're not stupid."
"Don't mind me, I want to be alone."
… ….
On the morning of October 9th, SKT finally arrived at Berlin's Tegel Airport.
Berlin was located in the northeastern part of Germany. It was a higher dimension, and the temperature was lower throughout the year. At that time, Berlin's temperature was significantly lower than Seoul's. The moment Guapi stepped out of the airport, he couldn't help but pull up the hood of his sweater.
After boarding the bus with the lady, the group of Guapi excitedly looked at the scenery outside the window.
Although Germany was a highly developed capitalist country, the population was evenly distributed, and there were no urban clusters. Therefore, there were very few high-rise buildings in the city, and the various European-style buildings were overwhelming.
The lady who came to pick up the bus was a local exchange student. She was explaining the basic situation of Berlin to the Guapi on the bus. Hearing that many Germans could speak English, Li Xu was relieved. At least he didn't have to worry about language barriers anymore.
Coach Kim Jong Un couldn't help but ask, "Where's the Berlin Wall? I've always wanted to see it. "
The lady explained, "The hotel you booked this time is very close to the Berlin Wall. You'll know when you get down and ask the hotel staff."
"That's great, coach. Let's go to the Berlin Wall in the afternoon. Li Xu, you can come with us. You can speak English."
There were still three days before the start of the group stage. Teddy couldn't wait any longer. He had spent almost twenty hours on the plane, and most of the time was spent sleeping. He was full of energy now.
"Sure," Li Xu agreed.
"What's there to see? I'll go to the Berlin Wall alone. "
Jin Zhengxun said, "All of you train hard in the hotel. Do you know how hard DWG has been working recently? They're working hard on the European server. Are you guys just here for a vacation? "
During this period of time, DWG, who had gone to Europe first, had caused a lot of bloodshed in the European server.
DWG's members were all high scorers from the beginning. Their individual strength was considered the best in the Korean server. Because they wanted to enter the qualifiers, DWG's members, who had unlocked rank in the European server first, had crazily increased their points in the European server. In just over a week, DWG's top, middle, and bottom lane had broken into the top of the European server with an 80% win rate.
"Of course we're not here for a vacation, but …"
Li Xu glanced at Jin Zhengxun. "It's their business to work hard. What does it have to do with us?"
Jin Zhengxun was confused.
What you said made sense, but it also didn't seem to make sense.
Li Xu said confidently, "Coach, do you think it's useful to play a few more rounds of rank? If you play too much with the noobs in the European server, your level might drop. Just play less to maintain the feel. There's no need to work so hard. "
Teddy also chimed in, "That's right. It's not easy to come to Germany. If we don't go to the Berlin Wall today, we won't have the chance to go anymore. Anyway, there's still three days before the tournament starts."
Jin Zhengxun originally wanted to tease these Guapi players, so he stopped pretending. "Remember what you said today. If you don't get the championship, we'll settle the score slowly."
"Then what about this afternoon?"
Jin Zhengxun laughed. "Let's go to the Berlin Wall. Dinner's on me."
"Yoho!"
The hotel that SKT was staying at was called the Schulz Hotel. It was located in the Friedrichshain district and was directly connected to the Berlin Wall. It was also very close to the Vertical Concert Hall where the group stage would be held.
When they arrived at the hotel, Li Xu and Li Ge were once again assigned to the same room.
The room was not big, and the decorations were very cozy. However, Li Xu was a little dissatisfied with the two beds. The two beds were only as wide as two fists apart, and they were very close to each other.
Li Xu stared at the gap between the two beds. The more he stared, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"What are you doing?"
Li Ge looked at Li Xu staring at the bed in a daze. He didn't understand what was going on in his mind.
Li Xu turned his head and looked at Li Ge sternly. "Don't stare at my butt when you sleep at night, and don't point your butt at me."
Li Ge was speechless.
